Stoneridge – SRI – Third-Quarter 2012 Results
Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
SRI – Third-quarter 2012 net sales were $219.3 million, an increase of $23.4 million, or 11.9%, compared with $195.9 million for the third quarter of 2011. The increase in the current quarter’s net sales was primarily due to the consolidation of the operating results of PST, the Brazilian subsidiary of which the Company acquired controlling interest on December 31, 2012. Excluding the net sales of PST in the third quarter of 2012, net sales were $175.5 million, a decrease of $20.4 million, or 10.4%, from the same period a year ago primarily as a result of lower sales in the Company’s Electronics business segment, including lower sales to a large North American commercial vehicle customer, and lower sales to European commercial vehicle customers.
SRI – Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in net income was primarily due to lower sales in the commercial vehicle markets in both North America and Europe. In addition, the Company’s results were negatively impacted in the PST segment by lower sales in the third quarter of 2012 compared with the prior-year period and the effect of depreciation and amortization of purchase accounting adjustments of $1.7 million. However, PST sales did improve by $5.3 million, or 13.8%, compared with the second quarter of 2012.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported net sales of $715.8 million, a 23.6% increase from $579.3 million for the same period in 2011. Net income for the first nine months was $2.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, down from $10.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the prior-year period.
As of September 30, 2012, Stoneridge’s consolidated cash position was $35.6 million, a decrease of $43.1 million from December 31, 2011. The change in the cash balance was partially the result of the $19.8 million in cash used to fund the final portion of the PST transaction, which was completed on January 5, 2012. The Company also has repaid $47.0 million of total indebtedness in the first three quarters of 2012. Stoneridge repaid $27.0 million of borrowing on its asset-backed lending facility and PST repaid approximately $20.0 million on its outstanding indebtedness during the first three quarters of 2012.
