Commercial Vehicle Group Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results
NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Nov. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVGI) today reported revenues of $187.9 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decline of $16.9 million, or 8.2%, compared to $204.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. Operating loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $(3.4) million compared to operating income of $8.9 million for the prior-year quarter. Net loss was $(7.3) million for the third quarter of 2013, or $(0.25) per diluted share, compared to net income of $30.5 million, or $1.07 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Diluted shares outstanding were 28.6 million for the quarter compared to 28.5 million for the prior-year period.
Richard Lavin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Commercial Vehicle Group, said, "Certain of our end markets experienced a difficult quarter that negatively impacted our results. We remain focused on actions to improve our financial results in the short-term and to enhance our organization for the long-term."
"Although the Company remains positive about the future of its end markets, some customers advised of their intention to take production out of their schedules by the end of the year. CVG currently estimates that Class 8 builds in North America will be approximately 252,000 for full-year 2013, and the global construction equipment business will remain flat for the remainder of the year," Lavin added.
Included in the third quarter of 2013 pre-tax results are approximately $2.8 million of expense for third-party consulting services, approximately $1.8 million of charges for employee separations and $2.7 million of asset impairment charges. The asset impairment charges consisted of $1.3 million of manufacturing equipment no longer in use and $1.4 million of IT systems which were abandoned.
The third-party consultant was engaged to help identify opportunities for cost savings through organizational re-alignment and right sizing of staff, manufacturing capacity optimization, and strategies to enhance the Company's product portfolio and market penetration. Tim Trenary, EVP and CFO said, "The consulting services included a spans and layers analysis of the organization and an external benchmarking of the staffing of certain administrative services. The resulting reduction in force is expected to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $4.0 million beginning in October 2013. This is an example of the economic benefit we expect to realize from the opportunities identified."
Lavin stated, "During the quarter, we addressed a number of short-term issues: leadership, organizational alignment, and cost structure. The consulting services are an investment in the future of CVG. This work enabled an in-depth evaluation of our business and also a first look at refining our long-term business strategy. Over the next few months, and throughout 2014, we intend to develop and execute initiatives to better address our customers' needs, including enhancing our product innovation, design, development and launch capabilities and focusing on operational excellence. I fully expect these initiatives to drive organic growth for the Company across all of the markets and regions we serve. Our plan will also include a sharper focus in the construction equipment segment and the world's emerging markets."
