CVG named Zoox Robotaxi low voltage wire harness strategic supplier
Provides outlook and guidance for full year 2026
NEW ALBANY, Ohio, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights(Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)
Revenue of $154.8 million, down 5.2% due primarily to softer North American demand.
Operating loss of $1.8 million, and adjusted operating loss of $0.9 million, improved compared to operating loss of $5.3 million and adjusted operating loss of $4.3 million. The decrease in operating loss was driven primarily by improved gross margin performance and lower SG&A expenses.
Net loss from continuing operations of $6.4 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $35.0 million, or $(1.04) per diluted share. Net loss in the prior-year period included a non-cash tax valuation allowance of $28.8 million. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations of $6.0 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $5.1 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million, up 155.6%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 1.5%, up from 0.6%.
Free cash flow of $8.8 million, up $7.9 million, due to better working capital management.
Full Year 2025 Highlights(Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)
Revenue of $649.0 million, down 10.3%, driven by softer North American Class 8 production volumes.
Operating loss of $0.7 million, improved by $0.1 million, and adjusted operating income of $4.8 million, down $1.7 million. The change in adjusted operating income was due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.
Free cash flow of $34.0 million, up $21.5 million, due to better working capital management and reduced capital expenditures. Total debt decreased $29.1 million compared to year-ended 2024.
The Global Electrical Systems segment returned to growth driven by the contribution of new business ramps, with margin expansion supported by the continued shift of production capacity to new, lower-cost facilities in Morocco and Mexico.
James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are encouraged by the resilience and consistency seen in our fourth quarter results. The actions we took to drive operational efficiencies and right-size our footprint continued to pay off, highlighted by the year-over-year gross margin improvement of 190 basis points seen last quarter. Our focus on our cost structure also drove a full year decline of $4.8 million in SG&A expenses in 2025. We expect to see continued operating leverage into 2026 as we ramp new business wins and our end markets stabilize and start to recover.”
Mr. Ray continued, “After returning to growth in the third quarter, we saw further acceleration in our Global Electrical Systems segment revenue and margins as we continue to ramp new wins in that business, most significantly the Zoox autonomous vehicle platform. We expect continued growth in 2026 in this segment. In our Global Seating segment, we saw operating margin expansion, even in a softer demand environment, driven by operational efficiencies and cost reductions. Our Trim Systems and Components segment faced continued weakness in the North American Class 8 truck market, but we have taken proactive steps that we believe will lead to improved profitability in this segment. I’m encouraged by the momentum we are building in our businesses, as a result of our operational efficiencies and in advance of end market recovery.”
Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “CVG delivered results consistent with our adjusted full-year guidance. We continue to see margin benefits from the strategic actions we’ve taken. Furthermore, our focus on working capital and capital expenditure reductions supported strong free cash flow, both in the fourth quarter and for the full year. Looking to 2026, we expect to see revenue and EBITDA growth for the company, prioritizing free cash flow for debt paydown.”
Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations
Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
Fourth quarter 2025 revenues were $154.8 million compared to $163.3 million in the prior year period, a decline of 5.2%. The decrease in revenues was due to lower sales as a result of a softening in North American customer demand in the Global Seating and Trim Systems & Components segments.
Operating loss for the fourth quarter 2025 was $1.8 million compared to operating loss of $5.3 million in the prior year period. Excluding special costs, the fourth quarter of 2025 adjusted operating loss was $0.9 million, compared to adjusted operating loss of $4.3 million in 2024. The improvement in adjusted operating loss was driven primarily by improved gross margin performance and lower SG&A expenses.
Interest expense was $4.2 million and $2.2 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to higher interest rates.
Net loss from continuing operations was $6.4 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2025 compared to net loss of $35.0 million, or $(1.04) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
On December 31, 2025, the Company had $16.8 million of outstanding borrowings on its U.S. revolving credit facility and $1.4 million on its China credit facility, $33.3 million of cash and $101.8 million availability from the credit facilities (subject to customary borrowing base and other conditions), resulting in total liquidity of $135.1 million.

Updated Estimates. We tweaked our fourth quarter 2025 estimates after speaking with management. The changes do not impact our belief in the investment case for Commercial Vehicle Group. We maintained our revenue estimate at $146 million. Gross margin has been lowered to 10.3% from 11% previously. We are now estimating an adjusted net loss of $5 million, or $0.15 per share. Adjusted EBITDA is now $2.8 million. For the full year, we are at revenue of $640.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $18.3 million.
Green Shoots? Recent data from FTR and ACT could indicate an improved Class 8 truck environment in 2026, although we would need to see multiple months of positive developments before jumping in with both feet. According to FTR, December Class 8 truck orders of 42,200 units were the highest level since October 2022. Meanwhile, ACT raised its expectation for Class 8 production in 2026 to 246,000 units, up from a prior 205,000, and nearly flat with 2025.

Third quarter sales of $152 million, EPS of $(0.20), Adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million Returns to growth in Global Electrical Solutions segment Updates full year 2025 guidance
NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Third Quarter 2025 Highlights(Results from Continuing Operations; compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted)
Revenues of $152.5 million, down 11.2%, primarily due to softening in North American demand.
Operating loss of $1.1 million, flat compared to operating loss of $1.1 million. Adjusted operating income of $1.6 million, compared to adjusted operating loss of $0.4 million. The increase in adjusted operating income was primarily attributable to improved gross margin performance and lower SG&A expenses.
Net loss from continuing operations of $6.8 million, or $(0.20) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $4.6 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $0.9 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $0.4 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million, up 7.0%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.0%, up from 2.5%.
James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the face of ongoing lower demand in our key Construction, Agriculture, and Class 8 truck end markets, we were pleased with the resilience seen in our third quarter results. We continued to benefit from our operational efficiency improvement and right sizing our manufacturing footprint and enterprise structural cost, evidenced by the continued sequential expansion in our adjusted gross margin in the quarter, despite the lower demand environment. Furthermore, as part of our efforts to preserve margins and position CVG for an eventual end market recovery, we remain focused on reducing SG&A expenses, and we have made demonstrable progress with customers as it relates to mitigating tariff impacts. I want to sincerely thank every member of the CVG team for their commitment, resilience, and focus on execution.”
Mr. Ray continued, “We are encouraged by the continued improvement in Global Electrical Systems segment performance, which returned to year-over-year revenue growth in third quarter, driven by new business wins outside of the Construction and Agriculture end markets, which continue to see lower demand. This segment also saw continued margin expansion year-over-year. In addition, our Global Seating segment expanded margins, as we see the benefits of our operational efficiency improvements, even in a softer demand environment. Our North American-focused Trim Systems and Components segment continues to see weakness as Class 8 production declines year-over year. However, we are taking proactive actions to improve profitability in the face of lower production levels. As an organization, we remain laser-focused on the levers we can control to improve financial performance, drive operational efficiency, and while continuing to launch previously won new customer programs across all segments to best position CVG for the future.”
Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are encouraged by our margin performance in the quarter, particularly against a difficult demand backdrop. We continue to optimize our operations to account for individual end market outlooks, particularly in the North American Class 8 truck market. While softer orders led to an inventory increase in the third quarter, we expect to reduce working capital in the fourth quarter. We remain focused on cash generation, with an expectation to drive at least $30 million in free cash flow for the full fiscal year. Continued free cash generation and debt paydown remain our near-term focus areas as we look to drive further cost reductions and improve overall operational efficiency.”

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations
Third Quarter 2025 Results
Third quarter 2025 revenues were $152.5 million, compared to $171.8 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 11.2%. The overall decrease in revenues was due to lower sales as a result of a softening in customer demand, primarily in the Global Seating and Trim Systems & Components segments.

Third quarter 2025 adjusted operating income was $1.6 million, compared to loss of $0.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in adjusted operating income was primarily attributable to improved gross margin performance and lower SG&A expenses.
Interest associated with debt and other expenses was $4.1 million and $2.4 million for the third quarter 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to higher interest rates.
Net loss from continuing operations was $6.8 million, or $(0.20) per diluted share, for the third quarter 2025 compared to net loss of $0.9 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Third Quarter 2025 Segment Results
Global Seating Segment
Revenues were $68.7 million compared to $76.6 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 10.4%, due to lower sales volume as a result of decreased customer demand.
Operating income was $1.4 million, compared to loss of $1.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of $2.9 million, driven by improved gross margin performance and lower SG&A expenses. Third quarter 2025 adjusted operating income was $2.9 million compared to loss of $0.8 million in the prior year period.
Global Electrical Systems Segment
Revenues were $49.5 million compared to $46.7 million in the prior year period, an increase of 5.9%, primarily as a result of ramping new business wins.
Operating income was $0.8 million compared to loss of $1.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of $2.3 million. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes. Third quarter 2025 adjusted operating income was $1.4 million compared to loss of $0.2 million in the prior year period.
Trim Systems and Components Segment
Revenues were $34.3 million compared to $48.4 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 29.2%, primarily due to lower sales volume.
Operating loss was $0.9 million compared to an operating income of $5.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to lower demand and a gain on a facility sale in the prior period. Third quarter 2025 adjusted operating loss was $0.3 million compared to income of $4.1 million in the prior year period.
Outlook
CVG updated the Company’s outlook for the full year 2025, based on current market conditions:
This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North America Class 8 truck builds. According to ACT Research, 2025 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 239,000 units, down 28% versus the 2024 actual Class 8 truck builds of 332,372 units and down 5% from the time of our second quarter 2025 earnings release, when ACT Research was forecasting 252,000 units for 2025 North American Class 8 truck production.
Construction and Agriculture end markets are projected to decline approximately 5-15% in 2025. However, we expect the contribution from new business wins outside of Construction and Agriculture end markets in Electrical Systems to soften this decline.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release is included as Appendix A to this release.

Positives. There were a number of positives in the quarter, such as the 120 bp sequential improvement in gross margin, strong FCF generation, improved top line performance in Electrical Systems, and higher adjusted operating income in both Seating and Electrical Systems, reflecting benefits from prior restructuring actions.
But End Markets. In spite of the operating successes, CVG’s end markets remain challenged. It appears the much hoped for rebound in the Class 8 truck market will not occur in 2026, with only modest improvement in 2027. Still early days for these types of forecasts, but the Class 8 truck market is still 40% of revenue. And no real change in the Ag and Construction markets, which remain soft.

Second quarter sales of $172 million, EPS of $(0.12), Adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million Continued strong free cash flow generation Updates full year 2025 guidance
NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Second Quarter 2025 Highlights(Results from Continuing Operations; compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted)
Revenues of $172.0 million, down 11.2%, primarily due to softening in global demand.
Operating income of $0.8 million, adjusted operating income of $1.9 million, down compared to operating income of $1.1 million and adjusted operating income of $4.8 million. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by lower sales volumes.
Net loss from continuing operations of $4.1 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $2.9 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $1.3 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share and adjusted net income of $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million, down 36.6%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.0%, down from 4.2%.
Free cash flow of $17.3 million, up $16.5 million, due to better working capital management. Net debt decreased $31.8 million compared to the year end 2024 level.
Gross margin expansion of 80 basis points versus Q1 2025 due to operational efficiency improvements.
James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Despite continued macroeconomic volatility, particularly a softening in Construction and Agriculture and Class 8 end markets and ongoing concerns around tariff impacts, we were pleased with continued momentum in our second quarter results, which were highlighted by strong free cash generation. During the quarter, we made progress in implementing operational improvements and right sizing our manufacturing footprint, which drove sequential gross margin improvement for the second consecutive quarter. Additionally, as part of our efforts to preserve margin performance, we are continuing our efforts to further reduce our targeted SG&A levels, and we are having constructive negotiations with customers as it relates to mitigating tariff impacts.”
Mr. Ray continued, “We are encouraged by the improved performance in our Global Electrical Systems segment, driven by new business wins outside of the Construction and Agriculture end markets, which continue to see lower demand. The Global Electrical Systems segment also saw margin expansion despite revenues being flat year-over-year. Across our enterprise, we remain focused on execution, delivery, and driving operational efficiency, while managing the potential impact of trade policy.”
Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We were pleased to see continued strong free cash generation in the quarter, as well as continued improvement in gross margin, as the benefits of our strategic initiatives take hold. Given our successful working capital initiatives, we are raising our free cash outlook to at least $30 million for the full fiscal year. Continued free cash generation and debt paydown remain key focus areas moving forward. During the quarter, we completed the refinancing of our credit facilities, which will further benefit our strategic initiatives and provide increased financial flexibility as we look to drive further cost reductions, margin improvement, and overall operational efficiency.”

Second quarter 2025 revenues were $172.0 million, compared to $193.7 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 11.2%. The overall decrease in revenues was due to lower sales as a result of a softening in customer demand across all segments.

Outlook
CVG updated the Company’s outlook for the full year 2025, based on current market conditions:
Metric
Prior 2025 Outlook ($ millions)
2025 Outlook ($ millions)
Net Sales
$660- $690
$650- $670
Adjusted EBITDA
$22 – $27
$21 – $25
Free Cash Flow
> $20
> $30
This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North America Class 8 truck builds. According to ACT Research, 2025 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 252,000 units. The 2024 actual Class 8 truck builds according to the ACT Research was 332,372 units.
Construction and Agriculture end markets are projected to decline approximately 5-15% in 2025. However, we expect the contribution from new business wins outside of Construction and Agriculture end markets in Electrical Systems to soften this decline.
