Briefing
Reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2019.
Commercial Vehicle Group experienced a decrease in revenues and operating income for the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to a decline in heavy-duty truck production in North America and the global construction market. The company took proactive steps to align the business to lower production levels, with restructuring actions expected to reduce operating costs by $5 to $7 million annually once fully implemented by early 2021.
- Revenues decreased by 15.3% to $189.5 million compared to the prior year period, mainly due to lower heavy-duty truck production in North America and declines in the construction equipment markets.
- Operating loss was $4.3 million, compared to an operating income of $13.4 million in the prior year period, impacted by lower volumes, inflationary pressure, and operating inefficiencies.
- Net loss was $7.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $8.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
- Restructuring initiatives, including employee separation costs and manufacturing capacity rationalization, totaled $3.0 million in charges during the quarter.
