“Absent special charges during the first quarter, we successfully adjusted our cost structure to achieve an 18% pull through rate year over year and made more significant improvements as compared to the fourth quarter. In addition, we achieved $114 million of liquidity, reflecting our focus on disciplined cash management. In the face of an already substantially lower production environment, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic in late-March, we took swift actions to align our business to our new operational realities. Further, we are continuing to make adjustments to right-size the business and maintain liquidity based on current demand trends. We have been purposeful in our approach to cost optimization to preserve our capabilities, ensure we are ready to restart production efficiently, and preserve core growth initiatives,” commented Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Commercial Vehicle Group. “Importantly, last week we announced that we had reached a new agreement to amend our Term Loan with our lenders and asset-based Revolving Credit Facility with the banks, which provides covena



nt relief and increased flexibility to right-size certain parts of the Company.”
“First Source Electronics (FSE) continues to be a bright spot during this difficult business environment. With e-commerce applications growing in importance, we are well positioned to respond to the robust demand, and we are proud to play a small part in helping the global economy continue to run. As a result of the increased demand, we expanded production for FSE from one facility to three, utilizing two additional CVG facilities,” Mr. Bevis concluded.
 
Consolidated Results

First Quarter 2020 Results

First quarter 2020 revenues were $187.1 million compared to $243.2 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 23.1%. The decrease in revenues reflects lower heavy-duty truck production in North America and in the global construction markets we serve. Foreign currency translation adversely impacted first quarter 2020 revenues by $1.2 million, or by 0.5%.

Operating loss for the first quarter 2020 was $26.5 million compared to operating income of $17.6 million in the prior year period. The operating loss is primarily attributable to lower sales volume, $28.9 million of impairment expenses, $2.4 million in costs associated with the investigation into the restatement of the Company’s financial statements and $2.3 million in costs associated with the CEO transition. The first quarter of 2020 adjusted operating income was $7.1 million when excluding special charges. The impact of the decline in sales and first quarter specific costs were partially offset by cost reduction initiatives.

Interest, associated with our debt, and other expense was $5.4 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase reflects unfavorable foreign exchange translation.

Net loss was $24.6 million for the first quarter 2020, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.0 million in the prior year period, or $0.33 per diluted share.

At March 31, 2020, the Company had $15.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and liquidity of $114.2 million$58.1 million of cash and $56.1 million of availability from the revolving credit facility.
    
Segment Results




Electrical Systems Segment

First Quarter 2020 Results

Revenues for the Electrical Systems Segment in the first quarter 2020 were $112.1 million compared to $143.6 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 21.9% primarily resulting from lower heavy-duty truck production in North America and in the global construction markets we serve, partially offset by an increase in industrial and military revenues primarily attributable to the First Source Electronics acquisition. Foreign currency translation adversely impacted first quarter 2020 revenue by $0.4 million, or by 0.2%.

Operating loss for the first quarter 2020 was $17.1 million compared to operating income of $15.0 million in the prior year period. The operating loss is primarily attributable to lower sales volume and $23.4 million of impairment expenses. The first quarter of 2020 adjusted operating income was $6.3 million when excluding special charges. The impact of the decline in sales and impairment expenses were partially offset by cost reduction initiatives.

Global Seating Segment

First Quarter 2020 Results

Revenues for the Global Seating Segment in the first quarter 2020 were $76.0 million compared to $104.1 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 27.0%, primarily resulting from lower heavy-duty truck production in North America and in the global construction markets we serve. Foreign currency translation adversely impacted first quarter 2020 revenues by $0.9 million, or by 0.8%.

Operating loss for the first quarter 2020 was $0.4 million compared to operating income of $8.3 million in the prior year period. The operating loss is primarily attributable to lower sales volume and $4.8 million of impairment expenses. The first quarter of 2020 adjusted operating income was $4.6 million when excluding special charges. The impact of the decline in sales and impairment expenses were partially offset by cost reduction initiatives.

Second Quarter Outlook

According to ACT Research, second quarter 2020 North American heavy-duty and medium-duty truck build is expected to decline 65% to 75% as compared to the first quarter of 2020, as the North American Truck OEMs respond to COVID-19 and overall market conditions. Although the Company's other end markets are not expected to decline as dramatically, we expect revenues for the three months ending June 30, 2020 to be significantly lower than the three months ending March 31, 2020.

As a result of the rapid changes in our end market conditions, our OEM customer ordering patterns and general uncertainties around the impacts of COVID-19 on businesses such as government-mandated shut downs, the Company will not be providing 2020 guidance related to North American Class 5-8 truck and global construction production.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In general, the non-GAAP measures exclude items that (i) management believes reflect the Company’s multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning and to determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on the Company’s financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and to comparable reporting periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
