Stoneridge Reports Third-Quarter 2013 Results
- Continued Improvement in Operating Margin over Prior Year Driven by Sales Growth from New Business Awards and Cost Reductions
- Deleveraging from 2012 Cash Flow Lowers Interest Expense
- Company Maintains 2013 Guidance of $0.75-$0.95 per Share
WARREN, Ohio, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Third-quarter 2013 net sales were $233.5 million, an increase of $14.2 million, or 6.5%, compared with $219.3 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in the current quarter's net sales was primarily due to higher sales in the Company's Control Devices and Electronics business segments.
Net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $5.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher sales in the third quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012.
As of September 30, 2013, Stoneridge's consolidated cash position was $46.1 million, an increase of $1.5 million from December 31, 2012. The Company's increased cash position was the result of increased net income in 2013 which was partially offset by increases in net working capital and capital expenditures to support sales growth.
John Corey, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Current-year sales were up compared to prior year as a result of new business sales in our Control Devices and Electronics segments and volume increases. PST's sales were up 12.5% compared to last year on a local currency basis; however, on a US dollar basis, PST's sales were flat because the Brazilian real devalued compared to the US Dollar by 12.5%."
Corey continued, "We have reported continued improvement in sales, operating earnings and net income in the third quarter in spite of the uncertainty in the economic environment. Given this uncertainty and continuing weakness in the North American commercial vehicle market, which has not rebounded as forecasted, we are encouraged by our continued sales performance and the contributions made to our net income over the past five quarters."
Regarding the fourth quarter of 2013, Corey added, "Though the expected improvement in the North American commercial vehicle market and consumer confidence in Brazil remains uncertain, we have maintained our 2013 guidance of $0.75 to $0.95 per share as published on February 7, 2013, though most likely at the lower end of this range."
