CVG Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results
EPS of $0.22, up 100% year-over-year
Adjusted EBITDA of $16.6 million, up 16.1% year-over-year
Our strategy continues to favorably impact our results as Electrical Systems revenues were up 16.8% year-over-year
NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights (Compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted)
- Revenues of $246.7 million, down 1.9% due primarily to higher revenue in the prior year as a result of a COVID backlog in Asia-Pacific which offset an increase in revenue in Electrical Systems in 2023.
- Operating income of $12.4 million, up 30.5%; adjusted operating income of $12.5 million, up 17.9%. Improved operating income was driven primarily by improved pricing and cost management, partially offset by volume decreases.
- Net income and adjusted net income were both $7.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $5.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $16.6 million, up 16.1% with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.7%, up from 5.7%.
- New business wins year-to-date are expected to be approximately $140 million when fully ramped. The majority of the new business awards continue to be in the Electrical Systems segment.
- Strong free cash flow and debt pay down reduced our leverage ratio down to 1.5x from 2.7x.
Robert Griffin, Chairman of the Board and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “CVG continues to execute on its strategic long-term plan, which again delivered year-over-year bottom line improvements in the quarter. Electrical Systems remains a key growth area for the Company, as evidenced by the strong revenue growth compared to last year and the successful start-up at our new Electrical Systems facilities in Aldama, Mexico, and Tangier, Morocco, which has gone very well. As always, I would like to thank our global CVG teams for their hard work, dedication, and commitment as we continue to execute our strategic goals.”
Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “CVG continued executing on our strategy, delivering strong year-over-year improvements in profitability during the quarter. Despite the strong performance, revenues declined slightly year-over-year against a tough comparable base year in 2022, when our Asia-Pacific business benefited from a post-COVID increase in backlogged sales orders. We also had improved earnings and generated strong free cash flow of $12.5 million during the quarter, further strengthening our financial foundation, and reduced our leverage to 1.5x from 2.7x in the third quarter last year.”
“Going forward, we remain committed to driving strong free cash flow, paying down debt, and investing to support our growing, diverse portfolio of businesses.”

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.
