FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

NEW ALBANY, OHIO, February 15, 2012 – Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVGI) today reported revenues of $225.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, up 42.9% compared to $158.1 million for the prior-year period. Operating income for the fourth quarter was $16.1 million compared to $5.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Net income was $10.1 million for the fourth quarter, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $4.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Diluted shares outstanding were 28.2 million for the quarter and for the prior-year period.

“Our fourth quarter marks our highest revenue and operating income levels since the fourth quarter of 2006 and our eleventh consecutive quarter of operating income improvement, when excluding impairment and restructuring charges. We are very pleased with our performance this past year and this most recent quarter. Given our strong financial structure and liquidity position, we remain heavily focused on seeking opportunities that fit our long-term strategic goals of growth and diversification,” said Mervin Dunn, President and CEO of Commercial Vehicle Group.

The Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under its asset-based revolver at December 31, 2011 and, as a result, was not subject to any financial maintenance covenants. In addition, the Company had approximately $88.0 million of cash on its balance sheet at December 31, 2011 with an additional $37.3 million of availability under its asset-based revolver. The Company does not expect to trigger the requirement to comply with financial maintenance covenants in 2012.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $832.0 million, an increase of $234.2 million, or 39.2%, compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to the increase in both the North American Class 8 heavy-duty truck market and global construction market, the Company’s acquisitions of Bostrom Seating and Stratos Seating and improvements in the general global economic conditions in many of the Company’s key end markets. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2011 improved to $49.1 million compared to $16.7 million for the prior year. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $18.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to $6.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the prior year.

“Sequentially, when compared to the third quarter of this year, our revenues increased $8.9 million and operating income increased $2.5 million, which represents a 28% contribution margin. We are very pleased with our results and continued improvement in our revenues and operating earnings as well as our fourth quarter diluted earnings per share of 36 cents, which marks the highest reported level since the fourth quarter of 2006,” said Chad M. Utrup, Chief Financial Officer of Commercial Vehicle Group.”
