SEGMENTS
In the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we completed a strategic reorganization of our operations into two business segments, Electrical Systems and Global Seating. The reorganization allows the Company to better focus its business along product lines, as opposed to end markets, which the Company believes enhances the effectiveness of seeking out growth opportunities and shareholder value. As a result of the strategic reorganization, we restated prior period segment information to conform to the current period segment presentation. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Each of these segments consists of a number of manufacturing facilities. Certain of our facilities manufacture and sell products through both of our segments. Each manufacturing facility that sells products through both segments is reflected in the financial results of the segment that has the greatest amount of revenues from that manufacturing facility. Our segments are more specifically described below.
The Electrical Systems Segment manufactures and sells the following products:
• | Electrical wire harnesses, control panels, electro-mechanical and cable assemblies primarily for the construction, agricultural, industrial, automotive, truck, mining, rail and military industries in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific; |
• | Trim systems and components ("Trim") primarily for the North America MD/HD Truck market; |
• | Mirrors, wipers and controls primarily for the truck, bus, agriculture, construction, rail and military markets in North America and Europe; |
• | Cab structures for the North American MD/HD Truck market; and |

OUR CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS
Industries Served
Commercial Vehicle Market. Commercial vehicles are used in a wide variety of end markets, including local and long-haul commercial trucking, bus, construction, mining, agricultural, military, industrial, municipal, off-road recreation and specialty vehicle markets. The commercial vehicle supply industry can generally be separated into two categories: (1) sales to OEMs, in which products are sold in relatively large quantities directly for use by OEMs in new commercial and construction vehicles; and (2) aftermarket sales, in which products are sold as replacements to a wide range of original equipment service organizations, wholesalers, retailers and installers. In the OEM market, suppliers are generally divided into tiers - “Tier 1” suppliers that provide products directly to OEMs, and “Tier 2” and “Tier 3” suppliers that sell products principally to other suppliers for integration into those suppliers’ own product offerings. We are generally a Tier 1 supplier.
The commercial vehicle supplier industry is fragmented and comprised of several large companies and many smaller companies. In addition, the commercial vehicle supplier industry is characterized by relatively low production volumes and can have considerable barriers to entry, including the following: (1) specific technical and manufacturing requirements, (2) high transition costs to shift production to new suppliers, (3) just-in-time delivery requirements, and (4) strong brand name recognition.
Although OEM demand for our products is directly correlated with new vehicle production, suppliers like us can increase revenue by further penetrating existing customers’ businesses, gaining new customers, expanding into new geographic markets, developing new content in our products to meet changing customer needs and by increasing aftermarket sales. We believe that companies with a global presence, advanced technology, engineering and manufacturing and support capabilities, such as our company, are well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.
North American Commercial Truck Market. Purchasers of commercial trucks include fleet operators, owner operators, governmental agencies and industrial end users. Commercial vehicles used for local and long-haul commercial trucking are generally classified by gross vehicle weight. Class 8 vehicles are trucks with gross vehicle weight in excess of 33,000 lbs. and Classes 5 through 7 vehicles are trucks with gross vehicle weight from 16,001 lbs. to 33,000 lbs.
The following describes the major markets within the commercial vehicle market in which the Global Seating Segment competes:
Class 8 Truck Market. The global Class 8 ("Class 8" or "heavy-duty") truck manufacturing market is concentrated in three primary regions: North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The global Class 8 truck market is localized in nature due to the following factors: (1) the prohibitive costs of shipping components from one region to another, (2) the high degree of customization to meet the region-specific demands of end-users, and (3) the ability to meet just-in-time delivery requirements. According to ACT Research, four companies represented approximately 98% of the market share for North American Class 8 truck production in 2019. The percentages of North American heavy-duty production represented by Daimler, PACCAR, A.B. Volvo, and Navistar were approximately 37%, 31%, 17%, and 14%, respectively, in 2019. We supply products to all of these OEMs.
4
New Class 8 truck demand is cyclical and is particularly sensitive to economic factors that generate a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled by commercial vehicles.
The following table illustrates the actual and estimated North American Class 8 truck build for the years 2017 to 2024:
“E” — Estimated
Source: ACT (February 2020).
We believe the following factors are primarily responsible for driving the North American Class 8 truck market:
Economic Conditions. The North American truck industry is influenced by overall economic conditions and consumer spending. Since heavy-duty truck OEMs supply the fleet operators, their production levels generally reflect the demand for freight and the fleet operators' purchase of new vehicles.
Truck Replacement Cycle and Fleet Aging. The average age of the U.S. Class 8 truck population was approximately 6.4 years in 2019. The average fleet age tends to run in cycles as freight companies permit their truck fleets to age during periods of lagging demand and then replenish those fleets during periods of increasing demand. As truck fleets age, maintenance costs typically increase. Freight companies evaluate the economics between repair and replacement as well as the potential to utilize more cost-effective technology in vehicles. The chart below illustrates the actual and estimated approximate average age of the U.S. Class 8 truck population:
“E” — Estimated
Source: ACT (February 2020).
Class 5-7 Truck Market. North American Class 5-7 ("Class 5-7" or "medium-duty") includes recreational vehicles, buses and medium-duty trucks. We primarily participate in the Class 6 and 7 portion of the medium-duty truck market. The medium-duty truck market is influenced by overall economic conditions but has historically been less cyclical than the North American Class 8 truck market, with highs and lows generally not as pronounced as the Class 8 truck market.
5
As the North American truck fleet companies move to a distribution center model, requiring less long-haul freight vehicles, the demand for medium-duty trucks may increase.
The following table illustrates the actual and estimated North American Class 5-7 truck build for the years 2017 through 2024:
“E” — Estimated
Source: ACT (February 2020).
Commercial Truck Aftermarket. Demand for aftermarket products is driven by the quality of OEM parts, the number of vehicles in operation, the average age of the vehicle fleet, the content and value per vehicle, vehicle usage and the average useful life of vehicle parts. Aftermarket sales tend to be at a higher margin. The recurring nature of aftermarket revenue can be expected to provide some insulation to the overall cyclical nature of the industry as it tends to provide a more stable stream of revenues. Brand equity and the extent of a company’s distribution network also contribute to the level of aftermarket sales. We believe CVG has a widely recognized brand portfolio and participates in most retail sales channels including original equipment dealer networks and independent distributors.
Commercial Construction Equipment Market. New vehicle demand in the global construction equipment market generally follows certain economic conditions including gross domestic product, infrastructure investment, housing starts, business investment, oil and energy investment and industrial production around the world. Within the construction market, there are two classes of construction equipment markets: the medium and heavy construction equipment market (weighing over 12 metric tons) and the light construction equipment market (weighing below 12 metric tons). Our construction equipment products are primarily used in the medium and heavy construction equipment markets. The platforms that we generally participate in include: cranes, pavers, planers and profilers, dozers, loaders, graders, haulers, tractors, excavators, backhoes, material handling and compactors. Demand in the medium and heavy construction equipment market is typically related to the level of larger-scale infrastructure development projects such as highways, dams, harbors, hospitals, airports and industrial development as well as activity in the mining, forestry and other commodities industries.
Purchasers of medium and heavy construction equipment include construction companies, municipalities, local governments, rental fleet owners, quarrying and mining companies and forestry related industries. Purchasers of light construction equipment include contractors, rental fleet owners, landscapers, logistics companies and farmers. In the medium and heavy construction equipment market, we primarily supply OEMs with our wire harness and seating products.
Agricultural Equipment Market. We market most of our products for small, medium and large agricultural equipment across a spectrum of machines including tractors, sprayers, bailers, farm telehandler equipment and harvesters. Sales and production of these vehicles can be influenced by rising or falling farm commodity prices, land values, profitability, and other factors such as increased mechanization in emerging economies and new uses for crop materials such as biofuels and other factors. In the medium to longer term, a combination of factors create the need for more productive agricultural equipment, such as: (1) population growth, (2) an evolving sophistication of dietary habits, (3) constraints on arable land, and (4) other macroeconomic and demographic factors.
Military Equipment Market. We supply products for heavy- and medium-payload tactical vehicles and complex military communications equipment over multiple product lines that are used by various defense customers. Military equipment production is particularly sensitive to political and governmental budgetary considerations.
Raw Materials and Suppliers
6
A description of the principal raw materials we utilize in principal product categories are:
Electrical Wire Harnesses, Control Panels, Electro-Mechanical and Cable Assemblies. The principal raw materials used to manufacture our electrical wire harnesses, controls panels, electro-mechanical and cable assemblies include wire and cable, connectors, terminals, switches, relays and various covering techniques involving braided yarn, braided copper, slit and non-slit conduit and molded foam. These raw materials are obtained from multiple suppliers and are generally available, although we have experienced a shortage of certain of these raw materials in the past.
Trim Systems and Components. The principal raw materials used in our Trim are resin and chemical products, foam, vinyl and fabric which are formed and assembled into end products. These raw materials are generally readily available from multiple suppliers.
Cab Structures and Sleeper Boxes. The principal raw materials and components used in our cab structures and sleeper boxes are steel and aluminum. These raw materials are generally readily available and obtained from multiple suppliers.
Mirrors, Wipers and Controls. The principal raw materials used to manufacture our mirrors, wipers and controls are steel, stainless steel, aluminum and rubber, which are generally readily available and obtained from multiple suppliers. We also purchase sub-assembled products, such as motors, for our mirrors, wipers and controls.
Seats and Seating Systems. The principal raw materials used in our Seats include steel, aluminum, resin-based products and foam products and are generally readily available and obtained from multiple suppliers under various supply agreements. Leather, vinyl, fabric and certain other components are also generally readily available and purchased from multiple suppliers.
Our Supply Agreements
Our supply agreements generally provide for fixed pricing but do not require us to purchase any specified quantities. Normally we do not carry inventories of raw materials or finished products in excess of what is reasonably required to meet production and shipping schedules, as well as service requirements. Steel, aluminum, petroleum-based products, copper, resin, foam, fabrics, wire and wire components comprise the most significant portion of our raw material costs. We typically purchase steel, copper and petroleum-based products at market prices that are fixed over varying periods of time. Due to the volatility in pricing over the last several years, we use methods such as market index pricing and competitive bidding to assist in reducing our overall cost. The recent imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminum have impacted the prices of certain of our materials. Implementation of Brexit may result in supply disruptions. We strive to align our customer pricing and material costs to minimize the impact of steel, copper and petrochemical price fluctuations. Certain component purchases and suppliers are directed by our customers, so we generally will pass through directly to the customer cost changes from these components. We generally are not dependent on a single supplier or limited group of suppliers for our raw materials.
Research and Development
Our research and development capabilities offer quality and technologically advanced products to our customers at competitive prices. We offer product styling, product design, specialized simulation and testing and evaluation services that are necessary in today’s global markets. Our capabilities in acoustics, thermal efficiency, benchmarking, multi-axis durability, biomechanics, comfort, prototyping and process prove-out allow us to provide complete integrated solutions to the end-user.
We engage in global engineering, and research and development activities that improve the reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness of our existing products and support the design, development and testing of new products for existing and new applications. We have product design, development, validation and testing centers ("Product Design and Development") in North America, Europe and Asia. We have a global engineering support center in India to provide a cost-effective global engineering resource to certain of our seat facilities.
We believe we are staffed with experienced engineers and have equipment and technology to support early design involvement that results in products that timely meet or exceed the customer’s design and performance requirements, and are more efficient to manufacture. Our ability to support our products and customers with extensive on site involvement enhances our position for bidding on such business. We work aggressively as we strive for our quality and delivery metrics to distinguish us from our competitors.
Generally, we work with our customers’ engineering and development teams at the beginning of the design process for new components and assemblies and systems, or the re-engineering process for existing components and assemblies, in order to leverage production efficiency and quality. Our customers are continuously searching for advanced products while maintaining cost, quality and performance deliverables.

We believe that our brands are valuable but that our business is not dependent on any one brand. We own U.S. federal trademark registrations for several of our products.
Manufacturing Processes
A description of the manufacturing processes we utilize for each of our principal product categories is set forth below:
Electrical Wire Harnesses, Control Panels, Electro-Mechanical and Cable Assemblies. We utilize several manufacturing techniques to produce our electrical wire harnesses, control panels, electro-mechanical and cable assemblies. Our processes, manual and automated, are designed to produce a wide range of products in short time frames and are electronically and hand tested.
Trim Systems and Components. Our Trim capabilities include injection molding, low-pressure injection molding, urethane molding and foaming processes, compression molding, heavy-gauge thermoforming and vacuum forming as well as various cutting, sewing, trimming and finishing methods.
Cab Structures and Sleeper Boxes. We utilize a wide range of manufacturing processes to produce our cab structures and sleeper boxes and utilize robotic and manual welding techniques in the assembly of these products. Large capacity, fully automated E-coat paint priming systems allow us to provide our customers with a paint-ready cab product. Due to their high cost, full body E-coat systems, such as ours, are rarely found outside of the manufacturing operations of the major OEMs.
Mirrors, Wipers and Controls. We manufacture our mirrors, wipers and controls utilizing a variety of manufacturing processes and techniques. Our mirrors, wipers and controls are primarily assembled utilizing semi-automatic work cells and are electronically tested.
Seats and Seating Systems. Our Seats utilize a variety of manufacturing techniques whereby foam and various other components along with fabric, vinyl or leather are affixed to an underlying seat frame. We also manufacture and assemble seat frames.
We have a broad array of processes to enable us to meet our OEM customers’ styling and cost requirements. The vehicle cab is the most significant and appealing aspect to the operator of the vehicle. Each commercial vehicle OEM therefore has unique requirements as to feel, appearance and features.
The end markets for our products can be highly specialized and our customers frequently request modified products in low volumes within an expedited delivery timeframe. As a result, we primarily utilize flexible manufacturing cells at our production facilities. Manufacturing cells are clusters of individual manufacturing operations and work stations. This provides flexibility by allowing efficient changes to the number of operations each operator performs. When compared to the more traditional, less flexible assembly line process, cell manufacturing allows us to better maintain our product output consistent with our OEM customers’ requirements and minimize the level of inventory.
When an end-user buys a commercial vehicle, the end-user may specify the seat and other features for that vehicle. Because our Seats are unique, our manufacturing facilities have significant complexity, which we generally manage by building in sequence. We build our Seats as orders are received, and the Seats are delivered to our customers in the sequence in which vehicles come down the assembly line. We have systems in place that allow us to provide complete customized interior kits in boxes that are delivered in sequence. Sequencing reduces our cost of production because it eliminates warehousing costs and reduces waste and obsolescence, thereby offsetting increased labor costs. Several of our manufacturing facilities are strategically located near our customers’ assembly facilities, which facilitates this process and minimizes shipping costs.
8
We employ just-in-time manufacturing and sourcing in our operations to meet customer requirements for faster deliveries and to minimize our need to carry significant inventory levels. We utilize material systems to manage inventory levels and, in certain locations, we have inventory delivered as often as two times per day from a nearby facility based on the previous day’s order, which reduces the need to carry excess inventory at our facilities.
Within our cyclical industries, we strive to maintain a certain portion of temporary labor to improve our ability to flex our costs and throughput as required by fluctuating customer demand. We engage our core employees to assist in making our processes efficient.
Seasonality
OEMs close their production facilities around holidays or when demand drops, reducing work days. Our cost structure, to the extent it is variable, provides us with some flexibility during these periods.
Our Customer Contracts, and Sales and Marketing
Our OEM customers generally source business to us pursuant to written contracts, purchase orders or other commitments (“Commercial Arrangements”) with terms of price, quality, technology and delivery. Awarded business generally covers the supply of all or a portion of a customer’s production and service requirements for a particular product program rather than the supply of a specific quantity of products. In general, these Commercial Arrangements provide that the customer can terminate them if we do not meet specified quality, delivery and cost requirements. Although these Commercial Arrangements may be terminated at any time by our customers (but not by us), such terminations have historically been minimal and have not had a material impact on our results of operations. Because we produce products for a broad cross section of vehicle models, we are not overly reliant on any one vehicle model.
Our Commercial Arrangements with our OEM customers may provide for an annual prospective productivity price reduction. These productivity price reductions are generally calculated on an annual basis as a percentage of the previous year’s purchases by each customer. Historically, most of these price reductions have been offset by internal cost reductions and through the assistance of our supply base, although no assurances can be given that we will be able to achieve such reductions in the future. The cost reduction is achieved through engineering changes, material cost reductions, logistics savings, reductions in packaging cost, labor efficiencies and other productivity actions.
Our sales and marketing efforts are designed to create customer awareness of our engineering, design and manufacturing capabilities. Our sales and marketing staff work closely with our design and engineering personnel to prepare the materials used for bidding on new business, as well as to provide an interface between us and our key customers. We have sales and marketing personnel located in every major region in which we operate. From time to time, we participate in industry trade shows and advertise in industry publications.
Our principal customers for our aftermarket sales include OEM dealers and independent wholesale or retail distributors. Our sales and marketing efforts are focused on supporting these two distribution channels, as well as participation in industry trade shows and direct contact with major fleets.
Competition
Within each of our principal product categories we compete with a variety of independent suppliers and with OEMs’ in-house operations, primarily on the basis of price, breadth of product offerings, product quality, technical expertise, development capability, product delivery and product service. A summary of our primary competitors is set forth below:

We compete with various competitors in this category. Our principal competitors for mirrors are Hadley, Retrac, and Lang-Mekra, and our principal competitors for wiper systems are Doga, Wexco, Trico and Valeo.
Seats and Seating Systems. We believe we have a strong market position supplying Seats to the North American MD/HD Truck market. Our primary competitors in the North American commercial vehicle market include Sears Manufacturing Company, Isringhausen, Grammer AG and Seats, Inc. Our primary competitors in the European commercial vehicle market include Grammer AG and Isringhausen; and in the Asia-Pacific region include Isrihuatai, Tiancheng, Harita and Pinnacle.
Competitive Strengths
Generally, the barriers to entry in our business include investment, specific engineering requirements, costs for OEMs to shift production to new suppliers, just-in-time delivery requirements and brand name recognition. Our competitive strengths include the following:
Market Positions and Brands. We believe we have a strong market position supplying Seats and a good market position supplying Trim products to the North American MD/HD Truck market. We believe we have processes in place to design, manufacture and introduce products that meet customers’ expectations in the North American MD/HD Truck market. We also believe we are competitive as a global supplier of construction vehicle Seats. Our major product brands include CVG™, Sprague Devices®, Moto Mirror®, RoadWatch®, KAB Seating™, National Seating™, Bostrom Seating®, Stratos™ and FinishTEK™.
Commercial Vehicle Solutions. We manufacture a broad base of products utilized in the interior and the exterior of commercial vehicles. We believe the breadth of our product offerings provide us with a potential opportunity for further customer relationships by bundling our products to provide complete system solutions.
End-User Focused Product Innovation. Commercial vehicle OEMs focus on interior and exterior product design features that better serve the vehicle operator and therefore seek suppliers that can provide product innovation. Accordingly, we have engineering, and research and development capabilities to assist OEMs in meeting those needs. We believe this helps us secure content on new as well as current platforms and models.
Flexible Manufacturing Capabilities. As commercial vehicle OEMs permit their customers to select from an extensive menu of cab options, our end users frequently request modified products in low volumes within a limited time frame. We can leverage our flexible manufacturing capabilities to provide low volume, customized products to meet styling, cost and just-in-time delivery requirements.
Global Capabilities. We have sales, engineering, manufacturing and assembly capabilities in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region that provide a high level of service to our customers who manufacture and sell their products on a global basis.
Relationships with Leading Customers and Major North American Fleets. We have comprehensive product offerings, brand names and product features that enable us to be a global supplier to many of the leading MD/HD Truck, construction and specialty commercial vehicle manufacturers such as PACCAR, Caterpillar, Volvo/Mack, Navistar, Daimler Trucks, John Deere, Oshkosh Corporation, Komatsu and Škoda (part of the Volkswagen Group). In addition, we maintain relationships with the major MD/HD Truck fleets that are end-users of our products such as Schneider National, Werner, Walmart, FedEx and JB Hunt.
Backlog
Our customers may place annual blanket purchase orders that do not obligate them to purchase any specific or minimum amount of products from us until a release is issued by the customer under the blanket purchase order. Releases are typically placed 30 to 90 days prior to required delivery and may be canceled within agreed terms. We do not believe that our backlog of expected product sales covered by firm purchase orders is a meaningful indicator of future sales since orders may be rescheduled or canceled.
Employees
As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately 7,347 permanent employees, of whom approximately 16% were salaried and the remainder were hourly. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 49% of the employees in our North American operations were unionized, with the majority of union-represented personnel based in Mexico. Approximately 71% of our European, Asian and Australian operations were represented by shop steward committees.
10
We did not experience any material strikes, lockouts or work stoppages during 2019 and consider our relationship with our employees to be satisfactory. On an as-needed basis during peak periods we utilize contract and temporary employees. During periods of weak demand, we respond to reduced volumes through flexible scheduling, furloughs and/or reductions in force as necessary.
Environmental, Social and Governance
CVG is committed to operating in an ethical and sustainable manner that benefits all our stakeholders including customers, employees and the communities we serve. We have established company-wide environmental, human rights and labor rights policies that outline the Company’s standards for all business operations. More information on these policies can be found on our website under the caption “About Us - CVG Policies.” The following highlights some of our ongoing Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) efforts:
Safety. CVG is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and communities. The Company maintains an occupational Health and Safety Policy that applies to employees, business partners, customers and the global communities where we operate. CVG and its businesses have invested in programs, technology and training to improve safety throughout our operations which is reflected in our exceptional safety performance. Our annual safety incident rate has consistently been less than 1.0 for the past four years. More information on our Health and Safety Policy can be found on our website under the caption “About Us - CVG Policies.”
Quality. CVG’s strict quality standards apply to all employees within the CVG organization and extend to all suppliers who wish to do business with CVG. More information on our supplier requirements can be found on our website under the caption “About Us - CVG Policies.”
• | All requirements and standards stated in the CVG Supplier Quality and Development Requirements Manual pertain to the specific requirements of CVG and all of our facilities. |
• | We require our suppliers to obtain a copy and maintain compliance with the Quality Management System Requirements of ISO9001:2015. |
Environmental. CVG is committed to conducting business in an environmentally conscious manner and reducing our carbon footprint. We contribute to eco-efficiency programs and have adopted energy efficiency programs. We have adopted an enterprise-level environmental policy that can be found on our Company website under the caption “About Us - CVG Policies.” Some of our recent achievements and initiatives include:
• | Partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Plants Initiative and establishing a voluntary energy intensity reduction target of 20% over 10 years; |
• | Contributing to a number of sustainability programs including an LED lighting initiative in our manufacturing facilities; |
• | Increasing the number of facilities that are ISO 14001 certified to approximately 75% of global manufacturing facilities; and |
• | Various other initiatives that focus on the conservation of energy and natural resources, the reduction of solid and chemical waste of our operations, the avoidance and prevention of pollution, and the minimization of our overall environmental impact to the communities we operate in. |
Community Engagement. Our global teams embrace a wide variety of formal and informal interactions in the communities where we operate. Each facility has an employee engagement committee that helps direct our charitable spend and volunteer hours. Our teams engage with the local communities through different programs or areas of need including local schools, nursing homes, animal shelters, literacy, theater and the arts, first responders, STEM, cancer awareness, veteran affairs, and hunger and homelessness, among others. A comprehensive list of CVG Community Partnerships, the organizations that we support, can be found on our website under the caption “About Us - Partnerships.”
Corporate Governance, The Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for risk oversight and oversees a Company-wide approach to risk management of ESG. The Board fulfills its oversight responsibilities directly and through delegation to the following committees: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Conduct and other Corporate Governance principles are available on the Company’s website under the caption “About Us - Executive Management - Governance Documents.”
Government Regulations
New emissions regulations were approved in 2016 by US regulators impacting MD/HD Truck manufacturers. The regulations require manufacturers to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2027. Other countries are implementing clean air measures to
11
reduce air pollution. For example, China's Ministry of Environment implemented new standards applicable beginning in 2017 for Stage V vehicles, including light gasoline-powered vehicles, diesel-powered passenger vehicles and heavy diesel-powered vehicles manufactured and sold in China.
Under a California law known as Proposition 65, if the State has determined that a substance causes cancer or harms human reproduction, a warning must appear on any product sold in the state that exposes consumers to that substance. The State maintains lists of these substances and periodically adds other substances to the list. Certain of our products are subject to Proposition 65, which does not provide for any generally applicable quantitative threshold below which the presence of a listed substance is exempt from the warning requirement. Consequently, the detection of even a trace amount of a listed substance can subject an affected product to the requirement of a warning label. We provide warnings on our products in California.
To the extent that current or future governmental regulation has a negative impact on the demand for commercial vehicles, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. These are not the only risks we face.
If any of these risks and uncertainties were to actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Material Weaknesses and Restatements
Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could have a significant adverse effect on our business and the price of our common stock.
As a public reporting company, we are subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC. These rules and regulations require, among other things, that we have, and periodically evaluate, disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow decisions regarding required disclosure. Reporting obligations as a public company are likely to continue to burden our financial and management systems, processes and controls, as well as our personnel.
In addition, as a public company, we are required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Likewise, our independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for 2019, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting relating to management's risk assessment and review process of manual journal entries and balance sheet account reconciliations. Further, we identified and corrected certain errors as described in Note 2 and 19 to the accompanying financial statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We deemed these corrections to be material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018, and September 30, 2019 and 2018, included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019. As a result, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 were not effective. As described in Part II, Item 9A of this Form 10-K, management is taking steps to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal controls. There can be no assurance that any measures we take will remediate the material weaknesses identified, nor can there be any assurance as to how quickly we will be able to remediate these material weaknesses.
13
In future periods, if our senior management is unable to remediate the material weaknesses such that they cannot conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, or to certify the effectiveness of such controls, or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot render an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are identified, we may be required to again restate our financial statements and could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, a loss of public and investor confidence, and to litigation from investors, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Furthermore, actions to remediate any material weaknesses, including the ones noted above and in Item 9A of this Annual report on Form 10-K, could require remedial measures, including additional personnel, which could be costly and time-consuming. We may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any remedial actions and receiving a favorable attestation report from our independent registered public accounting firm. If we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to manage our business effectively or accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and cause a decline in our common stock price. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, which would likely require additional financial and management resources.
Future Restatements could have a material effect on our business
As part of an internal investigation, the Company discovered material errors in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018, and September 30, 2019 and 2018, included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019. As noted above, material weaknesses were also discovered in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Having one or more weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting can heighten the chance of failing to discover future errors in the financial statements.
While the Company believes it has identified and corrected all material errors in our financial statements for the restated periods, there can be no assurance that more material errors will not be identified in the future, both in or outside the restated periods. Restatements can lead to reputational harm, litigation, regulatory investigations and sanctions, stock price fluctuation, and significant accounting and legal expenses to address. They also could require significant time and resources from management.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by downturns in the U.S. and global economy which are naturally accompanied by related declines in freight tonnage hauled and in infrastructure development and other construction projects.
Our results of operations are directly impacted by changes in the U.S. and global economic conditions, which are accompanied by related declines in freight tonnage hauled and in infrastructure development and other construction projects because, among other things:
• | Demand for our MD/HD Truck products is generally dependent on the number of new MD/HD Truck commercial vehicles manufactured in North America. Historically, the demand for MD/HD Truck commercial vehicles has declined during periods of weakness in the North American economy. |
• | Demand for our construction equipment products is dependent on vehicle demand for new commercial vehicles in the global construction equipment market. |
• | Demand in the medium and heavy-construction vehicle market, which is where our products are primarily used, is typically related to the level of larger-scale infrastructure development projects. |
If we experience periods of low demand for our products in the future, it could have a negative impact on our revenues, operating results and financial position.
Volatility and cyclicality in the commercial vehicle market could adversely affect us.
Our profitability depends in part on the varying conditions in the commercial vehicle market. This market is subject to considerable volatility as it moves in response to cycles in the overall business environment and is particularly sensitive to the industrial sector of the economy, which generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled. Sales of commercial vehicles have historically been cyclical, with demand affected by such economic factors as industrial production, construction levels, demand for consumer durable goods, interest rates and fuel costs.
14
Historically, general weakness in the global economy, but especially the North American economy, and corresponding decline in the need for commercial vehicles has contributed to a downturn in commercial vehicle production. Demand for commercial vehicles depends to some extent on economic and other conditions in a given market and the introduction of new vehicles and technologies. The yearly demand for commercial vehicles may increase or decrease more than overall gross domestic product in markets we serve. Downturns historically have had a material adverse effect on our business. If unit production of commercial vehicles declines in the future it may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Conversely, upswings in the global economy may result in a sharp acceleration in commercial vehicle production. A sharp acceleration in commercial vehicle production may adversely affect our ability to convert the incremental revenue into operating income efficiently.
Natural disasters could adversely affect us.
Natural disasters may also disrupt the commercial vehicle market and materially and adversely affect global production levels in our industry. The impact from disasters resulting in wide-spread destruction may not be immediately apparent. It is particularly difficult to assess the impact of catastrophic losses on our suppliers and end customers, who themselves may not fully understand the impact of such events on their businesses. Accordingly, there is no assurance our results of operations will not be materially affected as a result of the impact of future natural disasters.
We may be unable to successfully implement our business strategy and, as a result, our businesses and financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our ability to achieve our business and financial objectives is subject to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. For example, we may not be successful in implementing our strategy if unforeseen factors emerge diminishing the current levels or any future expected growth in the commercial vehicle markets we supply, or we experience increased pressure on our margins. In addition, we may not succeed in integrating strategic acquisitions, and our pursuit of additional strategic acquisitions may lead to resource constraints, which could have a negative impact on our ability to meet customers’ demands, thereby adversely affecting our relationships with those customers. Similarly, strategic divestitures involve special risks and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. As a result of such business or competitive factors, we may decide to alter or discontinue aspects of our business strategy and may adopt alternative or additional strategies. Any failure to successfully implement our business strategy could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and growth potential.
We may be unable to complete strategic acquisitions or we may encounter unforeseen difficulties in integrating acquisitions.
We may pursue acquisition targets that will allow us to continue to expand into new geographic markets, add new customers, provide new products, manufacturing and service capabilities and increase penetration with existing customers. However, we expect to face competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of our acquisition opportunities and may lead to higher acquisition prices. Moreover, acquisition of businesses may require additional debt and/or equity financing, perhaps resulting in additional leverage and/or shareholder dilution. The covenants relating to our debt instruments may further limit our ability to complete acquisitions. There can be no assurance we will find attractive acquisition candidates or successfully integrate acquired businesses into our existing business. If the expected synergies from acquisitions do not materialize or we fail to successfully integrate such new businesses into our existing businesses, our results of operations could also be materially and adversely affected.
Circumstances associated with our acquisition and divestiture strategy could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
From time to time, we pursue acquisition targets to expand or complement our business. Acquisitions involve risks, including the risk that we may overpay for a business or are unable to obtain in a timely manner, or at all, the synergies and other expected benefits from acquiring a business. Integrating acquired businesses also involves a number of special risks, including the following:
• | the possibility that management’s attention may be diverted from regular business concerns by the need to integrate operations; |
• | problems assimilating and retaining the management or employees of the acquired company or the Company’s employees following an acquisition; |
• | accounting issues that could arise in connection with, or as a result of, the acquisition of the acquired company, including issues related to internal control over financial reporting; |
• | regulatory or compliance issues that could exist for an acquired company or business; |
• | challenges in retaining the customers of the combined businesses; |
• | the potential of lawsuits challenging the Company’s decisions; and |
• | potential adverse short-term effects on results of operations through increased costs or otherwise. |
If we are unable to successfully complete and integrate strategic acquisitions in a timely manner, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
15
With respect to divestitures, from time to time we evaluate the performance and strategic fit of our businesses and may decide to sell a business or product line based on such an evaluation. Any divestitures may result in significant write-offs, including those related to goodwill and other tangible and intangible assets, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Divestitures could involve additional risks, including the following:
• | difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel; |
• | the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; |
• | the assumption of certain current or future liabilities in order to induce a buyer to complete the divestiture; |
• | the disruption of our business; |
• | the potential of lawsuits challenging the Company's decisions; |
• | the potential loss of key employees; and |
• | the proper allocation of shared costs. |
We may not be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we may encounter in divesting a business or product line and our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Our customer base is concentrated and the loss of business from a major customer or the discontinuation of particular commercial vehicle platforms could reduce our revenues.
Sales to A.B. Volvo, Daimler and PACCAR accounted for approximately 22%, 17% and 11%, respectively, of our revenue in 2019, and our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 76% of our revenue in 2019. Even though we may be selected as the supplier of a product by an OEM for a particular vehicle, our OEM customers issue blanket purchase orders, which generally provide for the supply of that customer’s annual requirements for that vehicle, rather than for a specific number of our products. If the OEM’s requirements are less than estimated, the number of products we sell to that OEM will be accordingly reduced. In addition, the OEM may terminate its purchase orders with us at any time. The loss of any of our largest customers or the loss of significant business from any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our profitability could be adversely affected if the actual production volumes for our customers’ vehicles are significantly lower than expected.
We incur costs and make capital expenditures based in part upon estimates of production volumes for our customers’ vehicles. While we attempt to establish a price for our components and systems that will compensate for variances in production volumes, if the actual production of these vehicles is significantly less than anticipated, our gross margin on these products would be adversely affected. We enter into agreements with our customers at the beginning of a given platform’s life to supply products for that platform. Once we enter into such agreements, fulfillment of the supply requirements is our obligation for the entire production life of the platform, with terms generally ranging from five to seven years, and we have limited provisions to terminate such contracts. We may become committed to supply products to our customers at selling prices that are not sufficient to cover the direct cost to produce such products. We cannot predict our customers’ demands for our products. If customers representing a significant amount of our revenues were to purchase materially lower volumes than expected, or if we are unable to keep our commitment under the agreements, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our major OEM customers may exert significant influence over us.
The commercial vehicle component supply industry has traditionally been highly fragmented and serves a limited number of large OEMs. As a result, OEMs have historically had a significant amount of leverage over their outside suppliers. Generally, our contracts with major OEM customers provide for an annual productivity price reduction. Historically, we have been able to generally mitigate these customer-imposed price reduction requirements through product design changes, increased productivity and similar programs with our suppliers. However, if we are unable to generate sufficient production cost savings in the future to offset these price reductions, our gross margin and profitability would be adversely affected. Additionally, we generally do not have clauses in our customer agreements that guarantee that we will recoup the design and development costs that we incurred to develop a product. In other cases, we share the design costs with the customer and thereby have some risk that not all the costs will be covered if the project does not go forward or if it is not as profitable as expected.
In addition, changes in OEMs’ purchasing policies or payment practices could have an adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, due to the cost focus of our major customers, we have been, and expect to continue to be, requested to reduce prices as part of our initial business quotations and over the life of vehicle platforms we have been awarded. We cannot be certain that we will be able to generate cost savings and operational improvements in the future that are sufficient to offset price reductions requested by existing customers and necessary to win additional business.
16
Demand for our products could also be materially reduced if our customers vertically integrate their operations in a significant manner, which would have a material and adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
We are subject to certain risks associated with our foreign operations.
We have operations in the Mexico, China, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Belgium, Australia, India and Thailand, which collectively accounted for approximately 18% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 . There are certain risks inherent in our international business activities including, but not limited to:
• | the difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through certain foreign legal systems; |
• | foreign customers, who may have longer payment cycles than customers in the U.S.; |
• | foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affecting our ability to match revenue received with costs; |
• | tax rates in certain foreign countries, which may exceed those in the U.S., withholding requirements or the imposition of tariffs, exchange controls or other restrictions, including restrictions on repatriation, on foreign earnings; |
• | intellectual property protection difficulties; |
• | general economic and political conditions, along with major differences in business culture and practices, including the challenges of dealing with business practices that may impact the company’s compliance efforts, in countries where we operate; |
• | exposure to local social unrest, including any resultant acts of war, terrorism or similar events; |
• | the difficulties associated with managing a large organization spread throughout various countries; and |
• | complications in complying with a variety of laws and regulations related to doing business with and in foreign countries, some of which may conflict with U.S. law or may be vague or difficult to comply with. |
Additionally, our international business activities are also subject to risks arising from violations of U.S. laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions, and various export control and trade embargo laws and regulations, including those which may require licenses or other authorizations for transactions relating to certain countries and/or with certain individuals identified by the U.S. government. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil and criminal penalties that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
As we expand our business on a global basis, we are increasingly exposed to these risks. Our success will be dependent, in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with foreign operations. These and other factors may have a material adverse effect on our international operations, business, financial condition and results of operations.
The U.K.’s exit from the European Union (EU) could materially and adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
On January 31, 2020, the U.K. formally exited from the EU (“Brexit”) and a transition period is in place until December 31, 2020 during which the U.K. will maintain access to the EU single market and to the global trade deals negotiated by the EU on behalf of its members and remain subject to EU law. Brexit has had an adverse impact on the U.K.’s economy. Uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the U.K. and the EU likely will continue to have an adverse impact on the U.K.’s economy until the U.K. and the EU reach a definitive resolution on the outstanding trade and legal matters. Although it is unknown what the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the EU will be, it is possible that there will be higher tariffs or greater restrictions on imports and exports between the U.K. and the EU and increased regulatory complexities following the transition period. These factors could potentially disrupt our supply chain, including delays of imports and exports, limited access to human capital within some of the target markets and jurisdictions in which we operate and adverse changes to tax benefits or liabilities in these and other jurisdictions. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations, including with respect to emissions and similar certifications, as the U.K. determines which EU laws to replace or replicate. Brexit also could lead to long-term volatility in the currency markets, long-term adverse effects on the value of the British pound and significant volatility in currency exchange rates. Any of these effects of Brexit, among others, could have a material adverse impact on our business operations, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to certain risks associated with our Mexican operations
In December 2018, the newly elected Mexican government announced new minimum wage requirements per the Mexican labor laws. Under the new requirements, Mexico will have two minimum wages: one rate applicable to municipalities located on the border with the United States, which were included in a newly created Northern Border Free Trade Zone, and a different rate applicable to the rest of Mexico.
17
Along with the new requirements, the Mexican National Minimum Wage Commission announced the following new minimum wages, which have been in effect since January 1, 2019: Pesos. 176.72 per day for municipalities in the Northern Border Free Trade Zone, a 100% increase from the minimum wage of Pesos. 88.36 per day in effect prior to January 1, 2019, and Pesos. 102.68 per day for the rest of Mexico, a 16.2% increase from the prior minimum wage. We have facilities in the Northern Border Free Trade Zone that are affected by the 100% increase in minimum wage and we have complied with the new requirements. We are uncertain if the increase in the affected employee’s minimum wage will flow through the entire compensation structure of our employees in our facilities in Mexico creating additional costs and any labor shortages resulting from our failure to adjust the entire compensation structure over and above the incremental minimum wage. Additionally, we are uncertain if we will be successful in passing through the related incremental cost to our customers and there can be no assurance our results of operations will not continue to be materially affected as a result of the impact of such incremental cost.
Significant changes to international trade regulations could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our business benefits from current free trade agreements and other duty preference programs, including the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”). The U.S. government has negotiated the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (the "USMCA") as a replacement for NAFTA. The USMA has been ratified by the Untied States and Mexico, but will not become binding unless and until Canada ratifies the agreement. The U.S. government has indicated that it may propose significant changes to other international trade agreements, import and export regulations, and tariffs and customs duties, which have increased uncertainty regarding the future of existing international trade regulations. The imposition of tariffs on the products we manufacture and sell could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, if the U.S. President or Congress takes action to withdraw from or materially modify NAFTA or USMCA, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, the Trump administration has called for substantial changes to U.S. foreign trade policy, including the imposition of greater restrictions on international trade and significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the United States, and has increased tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States from a number of foreign markets, following which retaliatory tariffs have been imposed on exports of certain U.S. goods to those markets. These tariffs and any further escalation of protectionist trade measures could adversely affect the markets in which we sell our products and, in turn, our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
Decreased availability or increased costs of materials could increase our costs of producing our products.
We purchase raw materials, fabricated components, assemblies and services from a variety of suppliers. Steel, aluminum, petroleum-based products, copper, resin, foam, fabrics, wire and wire components account for the most significant portion of our raw material costs. Although we currently maintain alternative sources for most raw materials, from time to time, however, the prices and availability of these materials fluctuate due to global market demands and other considerations, which could impair the Company's ability to procure necessary materials, or increase the cost of such materials. We may be assessed surcharges on certain purchases of steel, copper and other raw materials. Inflationary and other increases in costs of these materials have occurred in the past and may recur from time to time. In addition, freight costs associated with shipping and receiving product are impacted by fluctuations in freight tonnage, freight hauler capacity and the cost of oil and gas. If we are unable to purchase certain raw materials required for our operations, our operations would be disrupted, and our results of operations would be adversely affected. In addition, if we are unable to pass on the increased costs of raw materials to our customers, this could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The recent imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminum have impacted the prices of certain of our materials. Uncertainty exists regarding whether these tariffs will remain in place or be removed or reduced. If these tariffs are continued or expanded, they could result in material increases in our costs.
We have invested substantial resources in markets where we expect growth and we may be unable to timely alter our strategies should such expectations not be realized.
Our future growth is dependent in part on our making the right investments at the right time to support product development and manufacturing capacity in areas where we can support our customer base. We have identified the Asia-Pacific region as key markets likely to experience substantial growth in our market share, and accordingly have made and expect to continue to make substantial investments, both directly and through participation in various partnerships and joint ventures, in numerous manufacturing operations, technical centers and other infrastructure to support anticipated growth in the region. If we are unable to maintain, deepen existing and develop additional customer relationships in these regions, we may not only fail to realize expected rates of return on our existing investments, we may also incur losses on such investments and be unable to timely redeploy the invested capital to take advantage of other markets, potentially resulting in lost market share to our competitors. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in leveraging our capabilities into new markets and thus, in meeting the needs of these new customers and competing favorably in these new markets. Our results will also suffer if these regions do not grow as quickly as we anticipate.
18
Our inability to compete effectively in the highly competitive commercial vehicle component supply industry could result in lower prices for our products, loss of market share and reduced gross margins, which could have an adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.
The commercial vehicle component supply industry is highly competitive. Some of our competitors are companies that are larger and have greater financial and other resources than we do. In some cases, we compete with divisions of our OEM customers. Our products primarily compete on the basis of price, breadth of product offerings, product quality, technical expertise, development capability, product delivery and product service. Increased competition may lead to price reductions resulting in reduced gross margins and loss of market share.
Current and future competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with others, foresee the course of market development more accurately than we do, develop products that are superior to our products, produce similar products at lower cost than we can, or adapt more quickly to new technologies, industry or customer requirements. By doing so, they may enhance their ability to meet the needs of our customers or potential future customers more competitively. These developments could limit our ability to obtain revenues from new customers or maintain existing revenues from our customer base. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors and our failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may be unable to successfully introduce new products and, as a result, our business, and financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Product innovations have been and will continue to be a part of our business strategy. We believe it is important we continue to meet our customers’ demands for product innovation, improvement and enhancement, including the continued development of new-generation products, and design improvements and innovations that improve the quality and efficiency of our products. However, such development will require us to continue to invest in research and development and sales and marketing. We are also subject to the risks generally associated with product development, including lack of market acceptance, delays in product development and failure of products to operate properly. In addition, our competitors may develop new products before us or may produce similar products that compete with our new products. We may, as a result of these factors, be unable to meaningfully focus on product innovation as a strategy and may therefore be unable to meet our customers’ demands for product innovation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our products may be rendered less attractive by changes in competitive technologies, including the introduction of autonomous vehicles.
Changes in competitive technologies, including the introduction of autonomous vehicles, may render certain of our products less attractive. Our ability to anticipate changes in technology and to successfully develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis will be a significant factor in our ability to remain competitive. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve the technological advances that may be necessary for us to remain competitive. We are also subject to the risks generally associated with new product introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance, delays in product development and failure of products to operate properly, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and growth potential.
We could experience disruption in our supply or delivery chain, which could cause one or more of our customers to halt or delay production.
We, as with other component manufactures in the commercial vehicle industry, sometimes ship products to the customers throughout the world so they are delivered on a “just-in-time” basis in order to maintain low inventory levels. Our suppliers (external suppliers as well as our own production sites) also sometimes use a similar method. This just-in-time method makes the logistics supply chain in our industry very complex and very vulnerable to disruptions.
The potential loss of one of our suppliers or our own production sites could be caused by a myriad of potential problems, such as closures of one of our own or one of our suppliers’ plants or critical manufacturing lines due to bankruptcy, strikes, mechanical breakdowns, equipment failure, electrical outages, fires, explosions, political upheaval, as well as logistical complications due to weather, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, flooding or other natural disasters, Acts of God, epidemics, mechanical failures, delayed customs processing and more. Additionally, as we expand in growth markets, the risk for such disruptions is heightened. The lack of even a small single subcomponent necessary to manufacture one of our products, for whatever reason, could force us to cease production, possibly for a prolonged period. In the event of a reduction or stoppage in production at any of our facilities, even if only temporary, or if we experience delays as a result of events that are beyond our control, delivery times to our customers could be severely affected. Any significant delay in deliveries to our customers could lead to increased returns or cancellations. Similarly, a potential quality issue could force us to halt deliveries. Even where products are ready to be shipped or have been shipped, delays
19
may arise before they reach our customer. Our customers may halt or delay their production for the same reason if one of their other suppliers fails to deliver necessary components. This may cause our customers to suspend their orders or instruct us to suspend delivery of our products, which may adversely affect our financial performance. When we cease timely deliveries, we have to absorb our own costs for identifying and solving the root cause problem as well as expeditiously producing replacement components or products. Generally, we must also carry the costs associated with “catching up,” such as overtime and premium freight.
Additionally, if we are the cause for a customer being forced to halt production the customer may seek to recoup all of its losses and expenses from us. These losses and expenses could be very significant and may include consequential losses such as lost profits. Thus, any supply chain disruption, however small, could potentially cause the complete shutdown of an assembly line of one of our customers, and any such shutdown could expose us to material claims for compensation. Where a customer halts production because of another supplier failing to deliver on time, we may not be fully compensated, if at all, and therefore our business and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
We face risks related to health epidemics that could impact our sales and operating results.
Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness in several countries. Any outbreak of contagious diseases, and other adverse public health developments could adversely affect our operations and the operations and production capabilities of our suppliers, including as a result of quarantine or closure. The extent to which the recent respiratory illness outbreak in the various countries may affect our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its effects, among others. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our products and significantly impact our operating results.
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information systems and expose us to liability, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, financial information, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, in our data centers and on our networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfunction, malfeasance or other disruptions. Like most companies, our systems are under attack on a routine basis. At times there are breaches of our security measures. While past breaches have not been material, there is no guarantee that future breaches could not have a material impact. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, disrupt our operations and the services we provide to customers, damage our reputation, and cause a loss of confidence in our products and services, which could adversely affect our business and our results of operations.
If we are unable to recruit or retain senior management and other skilled personnel, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Our operations depend to a large extent on the efforts of our senior management team as well as our ability to attract, train, integrate and retain highly skilled personnel. We seek to develop and retain an effective management team through the proper positioning of existing key employees and the addition of new management personnel where necessary. Retaining personnel with the right skills at competitive wages can be difficult in certain markets in which we are doing business, particularly those locations that are seeing much inbound investment and have highly mobile workforces. Additionally, attracting sufficiently well-educated and talented management, especially middle-management employees, in certain markets can be challenging.
We may not be able to retain our current senior management and other skilled personnel or attain similarly skilled personnel in the future. If we lose senior management or the services of our skilled workforce, or if we are unable to attract, train, integrate and retain the highly skilled personnel we need, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
We may be adversely impacted by labor strikes, work stoppages and other matters.
As of December 31, 2019, approximately 49% of the employees in our North American operations were unionized, with the majority of union-represented personnel based in Mexico. We have experienced limited unionization efforts at certain of our other North American facilities from time to time. In addition, approximately 71% of our employees of our European, Asian and Australian
20
operations were represented by a shop steward committee, which may limit our flexibility in our relationship with these employees. We may encounter future unionization efforts or other types of conflicts with labor unions or our employees.
Many of our OEM customers and their suppliers also have unionized work forces. Work stoppages or slow-downs experienced by OEMs or their other suppliers could result in slow-downs or closures of assembly plants where our products are included in assembled commercial vehicles. In the event that one or more of our customers or their suppliers experience a material work stoppage, such work stoppage could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our earnings may be adversely affected by changes to the carrying values of our tangible and intangible assets as a result of recording any impairment charges deemed necessary.
We are required to perform impairment tests whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of certain assets may not be recoverable. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any impairment of assets. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indication of impairment exists. Factors that may be considered in assessing whether goodwill or other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include a decline in our stock price or market capitalization, reduced estimates of future cash flows, the general economic environment, changes or downturns in our industry as a whole, termination of any of our customer contracts, restructuring efforts and general workforce reductions. A continued decline in our stock price may trigger an evaluation of the recoverability of the recorded goodwill and other long-lived assets. Any charge for impairment could materially and adversely affect our reported net income and our stockholders’ equity.
We have taken, are taking, and may take future restructuring actions to realign and resize our production capacity and cost structure to meet current and projected operational and market requirements. Charges related to these actions or any further restructuring actions may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that any current or future restructuring will be completed as planned or achieve the desired results. The failure to complete restructuring as planned could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
We have established and may establish in the future valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. These changes may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
Additionally, from time to time in the past, we have recorded asset impairment losses relating to specific plants and operations. Generally, we record asset impairment losses when we determine that our estimates of the future undiscounted cash flows from an operation will not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of that facility’s building, fixed assets and production tooling. For goodwill, we perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we compare its implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the reporting unit would recognize an impairment loss for that excess amount. Factors that may be considered in assessing whether goodwill or other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include a decline in our stock price or market capitalization, reduced estimates of future cash flows, the general economic environment, changes or downturns in our industry as a whole, termination of any of our customer contracts, restructuring efforts and general workforce reductions. There can be no assurance that we will not incur such charges in the future as changes in economic or operating conditions impacting the estimates and assumptions could result in additional impairment. Any future impairments may materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our inability to successfully achieve operational efficiencies could result in the incurrence of additional costs and expenses that could adversely affect our reported earnings.
As part of our business strategy, we continuously seek ways to lower costs, improve manufacturing efficiencies and increase productivity in our existing operations and intend to apply this strategy to those operations acquired through acquisitions. In addition, we incur restructuring charges periodically to close facilities, such as lease termination charges, severance charges and impairment charges of leasehold improvements and/or machinery and equipment, as we continue to evaluate our manufacturing footprint to improve our cost structure and remove excess, underperforming assets, or assets that no longer fit our goals. If we decide to close or consolidate facilities, we may face execution risks which could adversely affect our ability to serve our customers. Further, we may be unsuccessful in achieving these objectives which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Additionally, aspects of the data upon which the company’s business strategy is based may be incomplete or unreliable, which could lead to errors in the strategy, which in turn could adversely affect the company’s performance. Also, not all business strategy
21
can be based on data, and to the extent that it is based on assumptions and judgments that are untested, then it could be unsound and thereby lead to performance below expectations.
Tax legislation initiatives or challenges to our tax positions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are a multinational corporation with operations in the United States and international jurisdictions. As such, we are subject to the tax laws and regulations of the U.S. federal, state and local governments and various international jurisdictions. From time to time, various legislative initiatives may be proposed that could adversely affect our tax positions. There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate or tax payments will not be adversely affected by these initiatives. In addition, U.S. federal, state and local, as well as international, tax laws and regulations are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations. There can be no assurance that our tax position will not be challenged by relevant tax authorities or that we would be successful in any such challenge.
The geographic profile of our taxable income could adversely impact our tax provision and therefore our results of operations.
Our future tax provision could be adversely affected by the geographic profile of our taxable income and by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our results could be materially impacted by significant changes in our effective tax rate. Additionally, any changes to manufacturing activities could result in significant changes to our effective tax rate related to products manufactured either in the United States or in international jurisdictions. If the United States or another international jurisdiction implements a tax change related to products manufactured in a particular jurisdiction where we do business, our results could be materially and adversely affected.
Exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations on cross border transactions and translation of local currency results into United States dollars could materially impact our results of operations.
Cross border transactions, both with external parties and intercompany relationships, result in increased exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The strengthening or weakening of the United States dollar may result in favorable or unfavorable foreign currency translation effects in as much as the results of our foreign locations are translated into United States dollars. This could materially impact our results of operations.
Litigation against us could be costly and time consuming to defend, as a result, our businesses and financial position could be materially and adversely affected.
We are regularly subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as workers’ compensation claims, Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigations, employment disputes, unfair labor practice charges, examination by the IRS, customer and supplier disputes, contractual disputes, intellectual property disputes, environmental claims and product liability claims arising out of the conduct of our business. While we maintain insurance, we cannot assure you that it will be sufficient to cover such proceedings and claims, that any costs and liability arising therefrom will not exceed our insurance coverage limits or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Litigation may result in substantial costs and may divert management’s attention and resources from the operation of our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We have only limited protection for our proprietary rights in our intellectual property, which makes it difficult to prevent third parties from infringing upon our rights and our operations could be limited by the rights of others.
Our success depends to a certain degree on our ability to protect our intellectual property and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. While we have been issued patents and have registered trademarks with respect to many of our products, our competitors could independently develop similar or superior products or technologies, duplicate our designs, trademarks, processes or other intellectual property or design around any processes or designs on which we have or may obtain patents or trademark protection. In addition, it is possible third parties may have or acquire licenses for other technology or designs that we may use or desire to use, requiring us to acquire licenses to, or to contest the validity of, such patents or trademarks of third parties. Such licenses may not be made available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or we may not prevail in contesting the validity of third party rights.
In addition to patent and trademark protection, we also protect trade secrets, “know-how” and other confidential information against unauthorized use or disclosure by persons who have access to them, such as our employees and others, through contractual arrangements. These arrangements may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other confidential information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary
22
nature of our technologies, trade secrets, know-how, or other confidential information, our revenues could be materially and adversely affected.
As we diversify and globalize our geographic footprint, we may encounter laws and practices in emerging markets that are not as stringent or enforceable as those present in developed markets, and thus incur a higher risk of intellectual property infringement, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our products may be susceptible to claims by third parties that our products infringe upon their proprietary rights.
As the number of products in our target markets increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, we may become increasingly subject to claims by a third party that our technology infringes such party’s proprietary rights. Regardless of their merit, any such claims could be time consuming and expensive to defend, may divert management’s attention and resources, could cause product shipment delays and could require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements. If successful, a claim of infringement against us and our inability to license the infringed or similar technology and/or product could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may be subject to product liability claims, recalls or warranty claims, which could be expensive, damage our reputation and result in a diversion of management resources.
As a supplier of products and systems to commercial and construction vehicle OEMs and markets, we face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that our products, or the equipment into which our products are incorporated, malfunction and result in injury to person or property or death. Product liability claims could result in significant losses as a result of expenses incurred in defending claims or the award of damages.
In addition, we may be required to participate in recalls involving systems or components sold by us if any prove to be defective, or we may voluntarily initiate a recall or make payments related to such claims as a result of various industry or business practices or the need to maintain good customer relationships. Such a recall would result in a diversion of management resources. While we maintain product liability insurance generally with a self-insured retention amount, we cannot assure you that it will be sufficient to cover all product liability claims, that such claims will not exceed our insurance coverage limits or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Any product liability claim brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We warrant the workmanship and materials of many of our products under limited warranties and have entered into warranty agreements with certain OEMs that warranty certain of our products in the hands of these OEMs’ customers, in some cases for many years. From time to time, we receive product warranty claims from our customers, pursuant to which we may be required to bear costs of repair or replacement of certain of our products. Accordingly, we are subject to risk of warranty claims in the event that our products do not conform to our customers’ specifications or, in some cases in the event that our products do not conform to their customers’ expectations. It is possible for warranty claims to result in costly product recalls, significant repair costs and damage to our reputation, all of which would materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our businesses are subject to statutory environmental and safety regulations in multiple jurisdictions, and the impact of any changes in regulation and/or the violation of any applicable laws and regulations by our businesses could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment and occupational health and safety, including laws regulating air emissions, wastewater discharges, generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of hazardous materials; the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the soil, ground or air; and the health and safety of our colleagues. We are also required to obtain permits from governmental authorities for certain of our operations. We cannot assure you that we are, or have been, in complete compliance with such environmental and safety laws, and regulations. Certain of our operations generate hazardous substances and wastes. If a release of such substances or wastes occurs at or from our properties, or at or from any offsite disposal location to which substances or wastes from our current or former operations were taken, or if contamination is discovered at any of our current or former properties, we may be held liable for the costs of cleanup and for any other response by governmental authorities or private parties, together with any associated fines, penalties or damages. In most jurisdictions, this liability would arise whether or not we had complied with environmental laws governing the handling of hazardous substances or wastes.
Several of our facilities are either certified as, or are in the process of being certified as ISO 9001, 14000, 14001 or TS16949 (the international environmental management standard) compliant or are developing similar environmental management systems. We have made, and will continue to make, capital and other expenditures to implement such environmental programs and comply with environmental requirements.
The environmental laws to which we are subject have become more stringent over time, and we could incur material costs or expenses in the future to comply with environmental laws. If we violate or fail to comply with these laws and regulations or do
23
not have the requisite permits, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. In some instances, such a fine or sanction could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may be adversely affected by the impact of government regulations on our OEM customers.
Although the products we manufacture and supply to commercial vehicle OEMs are not subject to significant government regulation, our business is indirectly impacted by the extensive governmental regulation applicable to commercial vehicle OEMs. These regulations primarily relate to emissions and noise standards imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), state regulatory agencies in North America, such as the California Air Resources Board ("CARB"), and other regulatory agencies around the world. Commercial vehicle OEMs are also subject to the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards promulgated by NHTSA in the U.S. Changes in emission standards and other proposed governmental regulations could impact the demand for commercial vehicles and, as a result, indirectly impact our operations. For example, new emission standards for truck engines used in Class 5 to 8 trucks imposed by the EPA and CARB became effective in 2010. In 2011, the EPA and NHTSA adopted a program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the fuel efficiency of medium-and heavy-duty vehicles. To the extent that current or future governmental regulation has a negative impact on the demand for commercial vehicles, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
The agreement governing our senior secured revolving credit facility and the agreement governing our senior secured term loan credit facility contain covenants that may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to take certain actions. If we are unable to comply with these covenants, our business, results of operations and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.
Our senior secured revolving and term loan credit facilities require us to maintain certain financial ratios and to comply with various operational and other covenants. If we do not comply with those covenants, we would be precluded from borrowing under the senior secured revolving credit facility, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity. If we are unable to borrow under our senior secured revolving credit facility, we will need to meet our capital requirements using other sources; however, alternative sources of liquidity may not be available on acceptable terms. In addition, if we fail to comply with the covenants set forth in our credit facilities the lenders thereunder could declare an event of default and cause all amounts outstanding thereunder to be due and payable immediately. We cannot assure you that our assets or cash flow would be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under our outstanding credit facilities or other debt instruments we may have in place from time to time, either upon maturity or if accelerated, upon an event of default, or that we would be able to refinance or restructure the payments on the credit facilities or such other debt instruments on acceptable terms.
In addition, the agreements governing the senior secured revolving and term loan credit facilities contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to:
• | incur liens; |
• | incur or assume additional debt or guarantees or issue preferred stock; |
• | pay dividends or repurchases with respect to capital stock; |
• | prepay, or make redemptions and repurchases of, subordinated debt; |
• | make loans and investments; |
• | engage in mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, sale/leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates; |
• | place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the issuer; |
• | change the business conducted by us or our subsidiaries; and |
• | amend the terms of subordinated debt. |
Our indebtedness may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our indebtedness.
Our indebtedness, combined with our lease and other financial obligations and contractual commitments could have other important consequences to our stockholders, including:
• | making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, including the revolving credit facility, term loan and our other debt instruments, and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including financial and other restrictive covenants, could result in an event of default under the revolving credit facility or term loan and the governing documents of our debt instruments; |
24
• | the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of, interest on or other amounts due in respect of our indebtedness; |
• | making us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions; |
• | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; |
• | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; |
• | placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and |
• | limiting our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, or execution of our business strategy or other purposes. |
Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service and working capital requirements, we may need to seek additional financing or sell assets. This may make it more difficult for us to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Without any such financing, we could be forced to sell assets to make up for any shortfall in our payment obligations under unfavorable circumstances. If necessary, we may not be able to sell assets quickly enough or for sufficient amounts to enable us to meet our obligations.
The transition away from LIBOR may adversely affect our cost to obtain financing and may negatively impact our interest rate swap agreements.
Central banks around the world, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, have commissioned working groups of market participants and official sector representatives with the goal of finding suitable replacements for the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) based on observable market transactions. It is expected that a transition away from the widespread use of LIBOR to alternative rates will occur over the course of the next few years. The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, has announced that it has commitments from panel banks to continue to contribute to LIBOR through the end of 2021, but that it will not use its powers to compel contributions beyond such date. Accordingly, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the publication of such rates beyond 2021. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York and various other authorities have commenced the publication of reforms and actions relating to alternatives to U.S. dollar LIBOR. The full impact of such reforms and actions, together with any transition away from LIBOR, including the potential or actual discontinuance of LIBOR publication, remains unclear. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect any discontinuance, modification or other reforms to LIBOR or any other reference rate, or the establishment of alternative reference rates will have on us. However, if LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, our borrowing costs on our variable rate indebtedness may be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our operating results, revenues and expenses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
Our operating results, revenues and expenses have in the past varied and may in the future vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year. These fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of these and other events and factors:
• | the size, timing, volume and execution of significant orders and shipments; |
• | changes in the terms of our sales contracts; |
• | the timing of new product announcements by us and our competitors; |
• | changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors; |
• | changes in supply and pricing of raw materials and components; |
• | market acceptance of new and enhanced products; |
• | announcement of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; |
• | the length of our sales cycles; |
• | conditions in the commercial vehicle industry; |
• | changes in our operating expenses; |
• | personnel changes; |
• | health epidemics; |
• | new business acquisitions; |
• | uncertainty in geographic regions; |
• | cyber attacks; |
25
• | currency and interest rate fluctuations; |
• | uncertainty with respect to the NAFTA, USMCA and other international trade agreements; |
• | Brexit |
• | union actions; and |
• | seasonal factors. |
We base our operating expense budgets in large part on expected revenue trends. However, certain of our expenses are relatively fixed and as such we may be unable to adjust expenses quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant change in revenue may cause significant variation in operating results in any quarter or year.
It is possible that in one or more future quarters or years, our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors and may result in changes in analysts’ estimates. In such events, the trading price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we become involved in securities class action litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, thus harming our business.
Our common stock has historically had a low trading volume with limited analyst coverage and, as a result, any sale of a significant number of shares may depress the trading price of our stock; stockholders may be unable to sell their shares above the purchase price.
Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “CVGI.” The trading volume and analyst coverage of our common stock has historically been limited as compared to common stock of an issuer that has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share prices. Because of the limited trading volume, holders of our securities may not be able to sell quickly any significant number of such shares, and any attempted sale of a large number of our shares may have a material adverse impact on the price of our common stock. Additionally, because of the limited number of shares being traded, and changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our common stock or lack of analyst coverage, the price per share of our common stock is subject to volatility and may continue to be subject to rapid price swings in the future that may result in stockholders’ inability to sell their common stock at or above purchase price.
Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage potential acquisition proposals, could delay, deter or prevent a change in control and could limit the price certain investors might be willing to pay for our stock.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may inhibit changes in control of our company not approved by our board of directors. These provisions include:
• | a prohibition on stockholder action through written consents; |
• | a requirement that special meetings of stockholders be called only by the board of directors; |
• | advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations; |
• | limitations on the ability of stockholders to amend, alter or repeal the by-laws; and |
• | the authority of the board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock and common stock with such terms as the board of directors may determine. |
We are also afforded the protections of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which would prevent us from engaging in a business combination with a person who becomes a 15% or greater stockholder for a period of three years from the date such person acquired such status unless certain board or stockholder approvals were obtained. These provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Based upon the information available to management and
27
discussions with legal counsel, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate outcome of the various legal actions and claims that are incidental to our business are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders' equity or cash flows; however, such matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes of individual matters are not predictable with any degree of assurance.

PART II
Item 5. | Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities |
Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “CVGI.”
As of March 16, 2020, there were 171 holders of record of our outstanding common stock.
We have not declared or paid any dividends to the holders of our common stock in the past and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, the capital requirements, operating results and financial condition of CVG. In addition, our ability to pay cash dividends is limited under the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and the Term Loan and Security Agreement, as described in more detail under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt and Credit Facilities.”
The following graph compares the cumulative five-year total return to holders of CVG’s common stock to the cumulative total returns of the NASDAQ Composite Index and a Peer Group that includes a legacy group through October 31, 2016. The legacy group is Accuride Corporation, Altra Industrial Motion Corp, Core Molding Technologies, EnPro Industries, Fuel Systems Solutions, L.B. Foster Company, Modine Manufacturing, Meritor Inc. Stoneridge Inc., Titan International and Wabco Holdings. In 2016, Accuride Corporation was purchased by Crestview Partners, and Fuel Systems Solutions merged with Westport Innovations. Both members are reported as part of the legacy peer group only through 2015. The new peer group is Altra Industrial Motion Corp., American Railcar Industries Inc., ASTEC Industries Inc., Columbus McKinnon Corp., Dorman Products Inc., EnPro Industries, Federal Signal Corp., Freightcar America Inc., Gentherm Inc., L.B. Foster Company, LCI Industries, Modine Manufacturing, Shiloh Industries, Spartan Motors Inc., Standard Motor Products Inc., Stoneridge Inc., and Supreme Industries. Supreme Industries was purchased by Wabash National Corporation and is reported as part of the new peer group only through 2017. The graph assumes that the value of the investment in the Company’s common stock in the peer group and the index (including reinvestment of dividends) was $100 on December 31, 2014 and tracks it through December 31, 2019.

Company Overview
Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (through its subsidiaries) is a leading supplier of electrical wire harnesses, seating systems, and a full range of other cab related products for the global commercial vehicle markets, including medium- and heavy-duty trucks ("MD/HD Truck") and medium- and heavy-construction vehicles. We also supply electrical wire harnesses, control panels, electro-mechanical and cable assemblies, seating systems and other products to automotive, military, bus, agriculture, transportation, mining, industrial and off-road recreational markets.
We have manufacturing operations in the United States, Mexico, China, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Thailand, India and Australia. Our products are primarily sold in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
We are differentiated from automotive industry suppliers by our ability to manufacture low volume, customized products on a sequenced basis to meet the requirements of our customers. We believe our products are used by a majority of the North American MD/HD Truck and many medium- and heavy-duty construction vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), and to a lesser extent other makers of industrial equipment.
In the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we completed a strategic reorganization of our operations into two business segments, Electrical Systems and Global Seating. The reorganization allows the Company to better focus its business along product lines, as opposed to end markets, which the Company believes enhances the effectiveness of seeking out growth opportunities and shareholder value.
Business Overview
For the year ended December 31, 2019, approximately 49% of our revenue was generated from sales to North American MD/HD Truck OEMs. Our remaining revenue was primarily derived from sales to OEMs in the global construction equipment market, aftermarket and OE service organizations, military market and specialty markets.
Demand for our products may be driven by preferences of the end-user of the vehicle, particularly with respect to heavy-duty trucks. Unlike the automotive industry, heavy-duty truck OEMs generally afford the end-user the ability to specify many of the component parts that will be used to manufacture the vehicle, including a wide variety of cab interior styles and colors, brand and type of seats, type of seat fabric and color, and interior styling. Certain of our products are only utilized in heavy-duty trucks, such as our storage systems, sleeper boxes and privacy curtains. To the extent that demand for higher content vehicles increases or decreases, our revenues and gross profit will be impacted positively or negatively.
We generally compete for new business at the beginning of the development of a new vehicle platform and upon the redesign of existing programs. New platform development generally begins one to three years before the marketing of such models by our customers. Contract durations for commercial vehicle products generally extend for the entire life of the platform. Several of the major truck makers have upgraded their truck platforms and we believe we have maintained our share of content in these platforms. We continue to pursue opportunities to expand our content.
Demand for our heavy-duty (or "Class 8") truck products is generally dependent on the number of new heavy-duty trucks manufactured in North America, which in turn is a function of general economic conditions, interest rates, changes in government regulations, consumer spending, fuel costs, freight costs, fleet operators' financial health and access to capital, used truck prices and our customers’ inventory levels. New heavy-duty truck demand has historically been cyclical and is particularly sensitive to the industrial sector of the economy, which generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled by commercial vehicles. North American heavy-duty truck production was 342,000 units in 2019. According to a February 2020 report by ACT Research, a publisher of industry market research, North American Class 8 production levels are expected to decrease to 225,000 units in 2020, steadily increase to 340,000 units in 2023 and then decline to 246,000 units in 2024. ACT Research estimated that the average age of active North American Class 8 trucks was 6.4 and 6.6 years in 2019 and 2018, respectively. As vehicles age, maintenance costs typically increase. ACT Research forecasts that the vehicle age will decline as aging fleets are replaced.
35
North American medium-duty (or "Class 5-7") truck production steadily increased from 249,000 units in 2017 to 281,000 units in 2019. According to a February 2020 report by ACT Research, North American Class 5-7 truck production is expected to decrease to 249,000 units in 2020, steadily increase to 274,000 units in 2023 and then decline to 268,000 units in 2024. We primarily participate in the class 6 and 7 portion of the medium-duty truck market.
Demand for our construction equipment products is dependent on vehicle production. Demand for new vehicles in the global construction equipment market generally follows certain economic conditions around the world. Our products are primarily used in the medium- and heavy-duty construction equipment markets (vehicles weighing over 12 metric tons). Demand in the medium- and heavy-duty construction equipment market is typically related to the level of large scale infrastructure development projects, such as highways, dams, harbors, hospitals, airports and industrial development, as well as activity in the mining, forestry and commodities industries. The construction markets we serve in North America, Europe and Asia have declined.
On September 17, 2019, the Company entered into and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement with First Source Electronics, LLC (“FSE”), Kevin Popielarczyk and Richard Vuoto (collectively, “Principals”) and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CVG FSE, LLC (“CVG FSE”). Information relating to the FSE acquisition in Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements are incorporated in this section by reference.
During 2019, we began implementing cost reduction and manufacturing capacity rationalization actions (the "Restructuring Initiatives") in response to declines in end market volumes. These actions were initiated in 2019 and are expected to continue through 2020. The Restructuring Initiatives consist primarily of headcount reductions in each segment and at corporate, as well as other costs associated with the transfer of production and subsequent closure of facilities.
2020 Outlook
Management estimates that 2020 North American Class 8 truck production may decline by 35% to 42% (to 200,000 to 225,000 production units), North American Class 5-7 production may decline by 15% to 20%, and the construction markets the Company serves in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific may decline by 10 to 15%.
While we experienced unplanned downtime during the first quarter of 2020 in our China operation due to the COVID-19 virus, we have seen steady improvements in our ability to produce in that operation and are currently operating at approximately 70% of expected levels. Due to inventory levels built prior to the Chinese New Year, sales losses in the first quarter have been immaterial and early indications are that the customers intend to make up lost production throughout the year. In other regions, the situation is dynamic, we have taken preventative measures where possible and we are monitoring conditions closely.
Our Long-term Strategy
Our long-term strategy is to grow revenue by product, geography and end market. Our products include electrical wire harnesses and electro-mechanical and cable assemblies, Trim, mirrors, wipers and controls, cab structures and sleeper boxes, and Seats. We intend to allocate resources consistent with our strategy; more specifically, consistent with our product portfolio, geographic region and end market diversification objectives. We periodically evaluate our long-term strategy and may adjust the strategy in response to changes in our business environment and other factors.
As part of our long-term strategy, we have considered and will consider acquisitions and divestitures to enhance return to our stockholders and service to customers. As discussed in Note 5, the Company completed the acquisition of FSE in September 2019. This strategic acquisition improves our ability to participate in the progression of digitalization, connectivity and associated power and data applications. The acquisition also complements our wire harness business, provides an entry into new markets, and provides us with an opportunity to leverage our global footprint and to increase cross-selling opportunities.

Revenues. Consolidated revenues of $901.2 million were substantially unchanged in 2019 compared to 2018. Heavy-duty truck production volumes in North America in 2019, our largest end market, were markedly higher than truck replacement level volumes, but production volumes declined significantly in the second half of the year. Production volumes in our second largest end market, global construction equipment, declined in 2019 compared to 2018 for the medium- and heavy-duty construction equipment parts we supply. Consolidated revenues in 2019 compared to 2018 were as follows:
• | a $26.8 million, or 7%, increase in OEM North American MD/HD Truck revenues; |
• | a $10.3 million, or 54%, increase in military revenues primarily attributable to the acquisition of FSE; |
• | a $20.3 million, or 11%, decrease in construction equipment revenues; |
• | a $8.3 million, or 6%, decrease in aftermarket revenues; and |
• | a $5.0 million, or 4%, decrease in other revenues. |
2019 revenues were adversely impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $10.4 million, which is reflected in the change in revenue above.
Gross Profit. Included in gross profit is cost of revenues, which consists primarily of raw materials and purchased components for our products, wages and benefits for our employees and overhead expenses such as manufacturing supplies, facility rent and utilities costs related to our operations. Cost of revenues increased $23.3 million, or 3.0%, resulting from an increase in raw material and purchased component costs of $12.1 million, wages and benefits of $2.0 million and overhead expenses of $9.2 million. Supplier price increases and costs associated with difficult labor markets, including higher labor costs, adversely impacted material and labor costs. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the imposition by Mexico of a new statutory minimum wage in the Free Zone of the Northern Border (the “Border Minimum Wage”), a geographic area running along and just south of the U.S. / Mexico
37
border and encompassing our wire harness facility in Agua Prieta, Mexico, adversely impacted labor costs. A number of actions, including pricing adjustments on certain products, reduced the impact of the Border Minimum Wage. The net unfavorable impact of the Border Minimum Wage on the 2019 results was approximately $2.3 million. Costs associated with a supplier of fabricated metals that sought bankruptcy relief in the second quarter of 2019 (the "Troubled Supplier") adversely impacted the current year by $3.1 million. Costs associated with manufacturing investments in our global wire harness and North American trim businesses (the "Manufacturing Investments") are included in 2019 results and approximate $1.8 million. Employee separation costs and charges associated with manufacturing capacity rationalization (the "Restructuring Initiatives") that began in 2019 totaling $2.2 million adversely impacted gross profit in 2019. The Restructuring Initiatives are expected to mitigate the impact of lower production volumes in 2020. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 11.7% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 13.9% for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits and other overhead expenses such as marketing, travel, legal, audit, rent and utilities costs, which are not directly or indirectly associated with the manufacturing of our products. SG&A expenses increased $1.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 due primarily to costs of $0.9 million associated with the acquisition of the assets of FSE and costs of $0.8 million associated with the Restructuring Initiatives.
Other (Income) Expense. The 2019 results include a $2.5 million non-cash charge associated with the early payout of benefits to term vested participants in the U.S. Pension Plan, which reduced future financial risk associated with the U.S. Pension Plan and contributed to an improvement in funded status to approximately 100%.
Interest Expense. Interest expense includes the mark-to-market impact of an interest rate swap agreement, which resulted in a $1.9 million non-cash charge in the year ended December 31, 2019 and a $0.8 million gain in the prior year.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax provisions of $5.8 million and $8.1 million were recorded for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The year over year change in the tax provision was primarily attributable to the lower tax expense resulting from the decrease in income before provision for income taxes, offset by a decrease in the amount of favorable, period-specific tax adjustments and an increase in withholding tax expense recorded in the current year for the impact of the repatriation of earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries.

Revenues. The increase in consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 primarily resulted from increased heavy-duty truck production volumes in North America and an improvement in the global construction equipment markets. More specifically, the increase resulted from:
• | a $106.4 million, or 33%, increase in OEM North American MD/HD Truck revenues; |
• | a $24.9 million, or 15%, increase in construction equipment revenues; |
• | a $17.2 million, or 14%, increase in aftermarket revenues; and |
• | a $6.0 million, or 4%, decrease in other revenues. |
2018 revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $8.1 million, which is reflected in the change in revenue above.
Gross Profit. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increase in sales volume. Cost of revenues increased $108.5 million, or 16.3%, resulting from an increase in raw material and purchased component costs of $85.6 million, wages and benefits of $10.6 million and overhead expenses of $12.3 million. Commodity and other material inflationary pressures and difficult labor markets adversely affected cost of revenues. Cost control and cost recovery initiatives, including pricing adjustments, reduced the impact of these cost pressures on gross profit. Also benefiting gross profit was the completion of facility restructuring in late 2017. The year ended December 31, 2017 included costs of approximately $10.0 million arising from a labor shortage in our North American wire harness business and $1.9 million in charges relating to facility restructuring and related costs. There were no facility restructuring and related costs in 2018. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 13.9% for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 12.0%for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $1.1 million, or 1.9%, on an 18.9% increase in revenues, reflecting a focus on cost discipline. The year ended December 31, 2017 includes $2.4 million of litigation settlement costs.
Interest Expense. The decrease is the result of less outstanding debt and the favorable impact of the mark-to-market of an interest rate swap agreement due to rising interest rates. Included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a non-cash write-off of deferred financing fees of $1.6 million and interest of $1.5 million paid to bondholders during the 30-day notification period associated with the redemption of the 7.875% notes in 2017.
Provision for Income Taxes. The decrease in the tax provision is primarily attributable to $11.2 million in non-recurring tax expense recorded during the year ended December 31, 2017 for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“U.S. Tax Reform”). The $11.2 million tax provision consisted of $7.2 million tax expense associated with the decrease in value of the Company’s deferred tax assets resulting from the reduced 21% U.S. corporate income tax rate and $4.0 million tax expense estimated for the deemed repatriation of accumulated untaxed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Moreover, results for the year ended December 31, 2018 include a $4.2 million tax benefit recorded as an adjustment to the $4.0 million provisional tax expense accrued during the year ended December 31, 2017 for the estimated impact of the deemed repatriation of accumulated untaxed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The $4.2 million tax benefit is primarily attributable to foreign tax credits that were generated as a result of the deemed repatriation of accumulated untaxed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries which were not provided for in the provisional $4.0 million tax expense recorded during the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the lack of regulatory guidance on how certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Reform should be implemented.
Excluding the non-recurring impact of the U.S. Tax Reform, our provision for income taxes would have been $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The year over year change in tax provision, excluding the impact of the U.S. Tax Reform, was primarily attributable to the increase in worldwide pre-tax earnings during the year ended December 31, 2018 and unfavorable impact of the new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income rules enacted under the U.S. Tax Reform.

Global Seating Segment 2018 revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $3.6 million, which is reflected in the changes in revenue above.
Gross Profit. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the increase in sales volume. Included in gross profit is cost of revenues, which increased $54.5 million, or 18.9%, as a result of an increase in raw material and purchased component costs
41
of $42.0 million, wages and benefits of $4.8 million and overhead expenses of $7.7 million. Commodity and other material inflationary pressures and difficult labor markets adversely affected cost of revenues. Cost control and cost recovery initiatives, including pricing adjustments, reduced the impact of these cost pressures on gross profit. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 13.6% for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 12.4% for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Global Seating Segment SG&A expenses increased $0.8 million, or 3.9%, on a 20.6% increase in revenues in 2018 compared to 2017, reflecting a focus on cost discipline.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company borrowed under its revolving credit facility; however, as of year end the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under the facility. At December 31, 2019, the Company had liquidity of $94.6 million; $39.5 million of cash and $55.1 million availability from its revolving credit facility.
We intend to allocate resources consistent with the following priorities: (1) to provide liquidity; (2) to invest in growth; (3) to reduce debt; and (4) to return capital to our stockholders.
Cash Flows
Our primary source of liquidity during the year ended December 31, 2019 was cash and availability under our revolving credit facility. We believe that these sources of liquidity will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and servicing of our debt through the next twelve months. However, no assurance can be given that this will be the case. We had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, cash provided by operations was $36.7 million compared to $41.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 and $2.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2017. More than all of the decrease in cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018 was due to a decrease in net income partially offset by less cash used for working capital changes in 2019 than in 2018. The increase in cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to an increase in net income.
Net cash used in investing activities was $58.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, and $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018 was due to the acquisition of the assets of FSE and an increase in capital expenditures. The increase in cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017 was due primarily to a gain on the sale of a building in 2017. In 2020, we expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $12 million to $15 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, and $72.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was due primarily to repayments on the term loan facility. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 is attributable to the debt refinancing completed in 2017.
As of December 31, 2019, substantially all of the cash of $39.5 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2019, $19.4 million, net of $1.0 million in foreign withholding tax was repatriated from our foreign subsidiaries. We plan to repatriate an additional $12.0 million in 2020 and a $0.8 million deferred tax liability was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 for the expected future income tax implications.

We estimated future interest payments based on the effective interest rate as of December 31, 2019. Since December 31, 2019, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations as set forth above.
We expect to contribute approximately $1.0 million to our UK pension plan in 2020. No contributions are expected to be made to our U.S. pension plan in 2020.
We enter into agreements with our customers at the beginning of a given vehicle platform’s life to supply products for the entire life of that vehicle platform. These agreements generally provide for the supply of a customer’s production requirements for a particular platform rather than for the purchase of a specific quantity of products. The obligations under these agreements and regulations are not reflected in the contractual obligations table above.
As of December 31, 2019, we were not a party to significant purchase obligations for goods or services.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We use standby letters of credit to guarantee our performance under various contracts and arrangements, principally in connection with our workers’ compensation liabilities. These letter of credit contracts are usually extended on a year-to-year basis. As of December 31, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit of $1.6 million. We do not believe that these letters of credit will be drawn.
We currently have no non-consolidated special purpose entity arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For a comprehensive discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, particularly relating to accounts receivable reserves, inventory reserves, goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, income taxes, warranty reserves, litigation reserves and pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets, liabilities and equity that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. See Item 1A - Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding risk factors that may impact our estimates.
Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenue when our performance obligation has been satisfied and control of products has been transferred to a customer, which typically occurs upon shipment. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services. We enter into agreements with our customers at the beginning of a vehicle platform’s life to supply products for that vehicle platform. Once we enter into such agreements, fulfillment of our requirements is our obligation for the entire production life of the platform and we have no provisions to terminate such contracts. Management judgments and estimates must be made in estimating sales returns and allowances relating to revenue recognized in a given period.
Lease Accounting — In accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which was adopted as of January 1, 2019, we elected not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less and elected to not separate lease and non-lease components. We elected the transition method option under ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements" with the package of practical expedients that permits the Company to: (a) not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, (b) not reassess lease classification for existing or expired leases and (c) not consider whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would be appropriate under the new standard. We recorded a right-of-use asset of $21.2 million and a lease liability of $22.2 million upon adoption. We also elected the option to apply the new leasing standard on the date of adoption
43
and recognize a cumulative-effect transition adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption resulting in a cumulative effect as of January 1, 2019 of $0.1 million.
Business Combinations — Assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business acquisition are generally recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Determining fair value of identifiable assets, particularly intangibles, and liabilities acquired also requires management to make estimates, which are based on all available information and in some cases subjective assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset. Accounting for business acquisitions requires management to make judgments as to whether a purchase transaction is a multiple element contract, meaning that it includes other transaction components such as a settlement of a preexisting relationship. This judgment and determination affects the amount of consideration paid that is allocable to assets and liabilities acquired in the business purchase transaction.
Inventory — Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or net realizable value. Cost includes applicable material, labor and overhead. We value our finished goods inventory at a standard cost that is periodically adjusted to approximate actual cost. Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed, and where necessary, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on our estimated production requirements driven by expected market volumes.
Income Taxes — We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax laws and rates expected to be in place when the deferred tax items are realized. We recognize tax positions initially in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion of such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We enter into financial instruments, from time to time, to manage the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and to hedge a portion of future anticipated currency transactions. The counterparties are primarily major financial institutions.
Interest Rate Risk
We manage our interest rate risk by balancing the amount of our fixed rate and variable rate debt. To manage its exposure to variable interest rates in a cost-efficient manner, the Company enters into interest rate swaps in which the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on an initial aggregate amount of $80.0 million of its initial $175.0 million of variable rate debt thereby reducing exposure to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes affect the fair market value of such debt but do not impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of such debt, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. The interest on the Term Loan Facility is variable and is comprised of 1) an applicable margin of either (i) 5.00% for base rate loans or (ii) 6.00% for LIBOR loans, and 2) LIBOR as quoted two business days prior to the commencement of an interest period provided that LIBOR at no time falls below 1.00%.
At December 31, 2019, the interest rate swap agreement was not designated as a hedging instrument; therefore, it has been marked-to-market and the fair value recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the offsetting gain or loss recorded in interest and other expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The interest rate swap agreement is more fully described in Note 4.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use forward exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency transaction exposures. We estimate our projected revenues and purchases in certain foreign currencies and locations and will hedge a portion or all of the anticipated long or short position. The contracts typically run from one month up to eighteen months. To mitigate our exposure to Mexican Pesos, where we have our greatest exposure, we have entered into multiple monthly forward exchange contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedge instruments which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Noncash gains and losses are deferred in
44
accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized when settled in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We do not hold or issue foreign exchange options or forward contracts for trading purposes.
Outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts at December 31, 2019 are more fully described in Note 4.
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the potential reduction in earnings from a hypothetical instantaneous 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency spot rates applied to foreign currency sensitive instruments would have been immaterial.
Foreign Currency Transactions
A portion of our revenues during the year ended December 31, 2019 were derived from manufacturing operations outside of the U.S. The results of operations and the financial position of our operations in these other countries are primarily measured in their respective currency and translated into U.S. Dollars. A portion of the expenses incurred in these countries is in currencies different from which revenue is generated. As discussed above, from time to time, we enter into forward exchange contracts to mitigate a portion of this currency risk. The reported income of these operations will be higher or lower depending on a weakening or strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the respective foreign currency.
A portion of our long-term assets and liabilities at December 31, 2019 are based in our foreign operations and are translated into U.S. Dollars at foreign currency exchange rates in effect as of the end of each period with the effect of such translation reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, our stockholders’ investment will fluctuate depending upon the weakening or strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the respective foreign currency. The principal currencies of exposure are the Mexican Peso, Chinese Yuan, British Pound, Euro, Czech Koruna, Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, Thai Baht, and Ukrainian Hryvnia. Foreign currency translation adversely impacted fiscal year 2019 revenues by $10.4 million, or 1.2%.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation potentially affects us in two principal ways. First, borrowings under our revolving credit facility is tied to prevailing short-term interest rates that may change as a result of inflation rates, translating into changes in interest expense. Second, general inflation can impact material purchases, labor, pension liabilities and other costs. In many cases, we have limited ability to pass through inflation-related cost increases due to the competitive nature of the markets that we serve. The significant rise in certain commodity prices negatively impacted our margins in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017
1. | Significant Accounting Policies |
Organization - Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (through its subsidiaries) is a leading supplier of electrical wire harnesses, seating systems, and a full range of other cab related products for the global commercial vehicle markets, including the medium- and heavy-duty truck, medium-and heavy-construction vehicle, military, bus, agriculture, specialty transportation, mining, industrial equipment and off-road recreational markets.
We are differentiated from automotive industry suppliers by our ability to manufacture low volume, customized products on a sequenced basis to meet the requirements of our customers. We believe our products are used by a majority of the North American MD/HD Truck and many medium- and heavy-duty construction vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), and to a lesser extent other makers of industrial equipment.
We have manufacturing operations in the United States, Mexico, China, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Thailand, India and Australia. Our products are primarily sold in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
We report our financial results by business segment; more specifically, Electrical Systems and Global Seating. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), its President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information for these two reportable segments and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources based on these segments. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts.
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, pension and other post-retirement benefits, product warranty reserves, litigation reserves, and income tax valuation allowances. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
Cash - Cash consists of deposits with high credit-quality financial institutions.
Accounts Receivable - Trade accounts receivable are stated at current value less allowances, which approximates fair value. We review our receivables on an ongoing basis to ensure that they are properly valued and collectible.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is used to record the estimated risk of loss related to our customers’ inability to pay. This allowance is maintained at a level that we consider appropriate based on factors that affect collectability, such as the financial health of our customers, historical trends of charge-offs and recoveries and current economic market conditions. As we monitor our receivables, we identify customers that may have payment problems and adjust the allowance accordingly, with the offset to selling, general and administrative expense. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when recovery is considered remote.
Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market and are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed and when necessary provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on our estimated production requirements, taking into consideration expected market volumes and future potential use.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
53
Buildings and improvements | 15 to 40 years |
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 20 years |
Tools and dies | 3 to 7 years |
Computer hardware and software | 3 to 5 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major betterments and renewals that extend the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for tax reporting purposes. Depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $13.6 million, $14.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively.
We review long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of an asset group may not be recoverable. Our asset groups are established by determining the lowest level of cash flows available. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts of such assets, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount necessary to write down the assets to fair value as estimated from expected future discounted cash flows. Estimating the fair value of these assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue when our performance obligation has been satisfied and control of products has been transferred to a customer, which typically occurs upon shipment. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services.
Returns and allowances are used to record estimates of returns or allowances resulting from quality, delivery, discounts or other issues affecting the value of receivables. This amount is estimated based on historical trends and current market conditions, with the offset to revenues.
Income Taxes - We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and rates expected to be in place when the deferred tax items are realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion of such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We evaluate tax positions for recognition by determining, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon audit. Any interest and penalties related to our uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Comprehensive income (loss) reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources including foreign currency translation, derivative instruments and pension and other post-retirement adjustments. See Note 18 for a rollforward of activity in accumulated comprehensive loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inactive markets.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. We sell products to various companies throughout the world in the ordinary course of business. We routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and maintain allowances for anticipated losses. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, receivables from our largest customers, A.B. Volvo, Daimler Trucks, Caterpillar, Navistar, John Deere and PACCAR, represented approximately 62% and 66% of total receivables, respectively.
54
Foreign Currency Translation - Our functional currency is the local currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period; revenue and costs are translated using average exchange rates for the period. The related translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Translation gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity are included in the results of operations.
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts - We use forward exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency transaction exposures. We estimate our projected revenues and purchases in certain foreign currencies or locations and hedge a portion of the anticipated long or short position. The contracts typically run from one month to eighteen months. All forward foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments have been marked-to-market and the fair value of contracts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the offsetting non-cash gain or loss recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. For forward contracts that are designated as hedging instruments, the gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations when the contracts are settled. We do not hold or issue foreign exchange options or forward contracts for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Swap Agreement - We use an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on a portion of our variable interest debt thereby reducing exposure to interest rate changes. The interest rate swap agreement was not designated as a hedging instrument; therefore, the interest rate swap agreement has been marked-to-market and the fair value of the agreement recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the offsetting gain or loss recorded in interest and other expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-07, "Codification Updates to SEC Sections". ASU No. 2019-07 clarifies or improves the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of codification topics by aligning them with the SEC's regulations, thereby eliminating redundancies. This ASU is effective upon issuance and did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)". The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The FASB subsequently issued ASU No. 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses", in November 2018 which provided further guidance on assessment of receivables for operating leases. ASU No. 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Topic 815 and Topic 825" and ASU No. 2019-05, "Targeted Transition Relief", that were issued in April and May of 2019 do not materially impact the Company. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses", which further clarified and improved the Codification to make it easier to understand and apply. The Company anticipates ASU 2016-13, ASU 2018-19 and ASU 2019-11 will apply to its trade receivables and will not have a material impact on the reported value of such receivables. We expect to implement ASU No. 2016-13, 2018-19 and 2019-11 on the effective date of January 1, 2020.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes". The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and otherwise clarifies and amends existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We are evaluating the effect this ASU will have on the Company.
Accounting Pronouncements Implemented During the Year Ended December 31, 2019
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting". The ASU changed the measurement date for determining the fair value of share awards to nonemployees to the grant date and requires the consideration of the probability of satisfying performance obligations in assessing the awards. The ASU did not have a material impact on our recognition of share-based payments for nonemployees.
Lease Accounting Guidance
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" followed by ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements", issued in July 2018. These ASUs are intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing lease assets and liabilities and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019.
In accordance with Topic 842, we elected not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less and elected to not separate lease and non-lease components. We elected the transition method option under ASU 2018-11 with the package of practical expedients that permits the Company to: (a) not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain
55
leases, (b) not reassess lease classification for existing or expired leases and (c) not consider whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would be appropriate under the new standard. We recorded a right-of-use asset of $21.2 million and a lease liability of $22.2 million upon adoption. We also elected the option to apply the new leasing standard on the date of adoption and recognize a cumulative-effect transition adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption resulting in a cumulative effect as of January 1, 2019 of $0.1 million. Refer to Note 6 for further details.
2. Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
Restatement Background
On March 12, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company, after considering the recommendations of management, and discussing such recommendations with outside SEC counsel, concluded that our 2018 Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”), and our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018, and September 30, 2019 and 2018, included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 (the "2019 Quarterly Reports”), should no longer be relied upon due to misstatements that are described in greater detail below, and that we would restate such financial statements to make the necessary accounting corrections.
During the preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”), we noted a potential overstatement of the prepaid production tooling account of our vehicle cab structures manufacturing facility (presented in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets). An investigation was conducted, under the direction of the Audit Committee, by external counsel with the assistance of a forensic accounting firm. As a result of the investigation, the Company concluded that the misstatements in our consolidated financial statements for the periods identified above were due to a former employee preparing manual journal entries to understate cost of revenues by improperly capitalizing certain manufacturing expenses, primarily in the prepaid production tooling account. The former employee made intentional misrepresentations during the investigation. During the course of, and as a result of, the investigation, the Company terminated the former employee and has taken additional personnel actions.
The Company evaluated the materiality of these errors both qualitatively and quantitatively in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and determined the effect of these corrections was material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018, and September 30, 2019 and 2018. As a result of the material misstatements, we have restated our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018, and September 30, 2019 and 2018, in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (the "Restated Financial Statements").
Based on the analysis noted above, the correction of errors resulting from the former employee's actions noted above were immaterial to the previously reported consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”). The amounts in the 2017 Annual Report have been revised to reflect the correction of these errors.
In addition to the adjustments to correct the understatement of cost of revenues and impacted balance sheet accounts, we also made an adjustment to correct an overstatement of property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) that was no longer in service as of the year ended December 31, 2016, and was unrelated to the correction of errors resulting from the former employee's actions. The Company evaluated this error in accordance with SAB 99 and 108 and concluded that the correction of the PPE error was immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
The restated interim financial information for the relevant unaudited interim financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018, September 30, 2019 and 2018, and December 31, 2018, is included in Note 19.
The restatement adjustments and error correction and their impact on previously reported consolidated financial statements are described below.
(a) Understatement of cost of revenues and impacted balance sheet accounts - Corrections for the understatement of cost of revenues by improperly capitalizing certain manufacturing expenses. Balance sheet accounts adjusted as a result of
56
the improper capitalization of expenses include other current assets, accounts receivable, net of allowances and construction in progress.
(b) Property, plant and equipment, net - We recorded an adjustment for a previously identified property, plant and equipment, net error unrelated to the understatement of cost of revenues and related balance sheet accounts misstatements. This PPE was no longer in service as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Summary impact of restatement adjustments and immaterial error correction to previously reported financial information
The following tables present the summary impacts of the restatement adjustments and immaterial error correction on our previously reported retained deficit and total stockholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2016, and income before provision for income taxes and net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

3. Revenue Recognition
Our products include electrical wire harnesses, control panels and assemblies; trim systems and components ("Trim"); cab structures and sleeper boxes; mirrors, wipers and controls; and seats and seating systems ("Seats"). We sell these products into multiple geographic regions including North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific and to multiple customer end markets including MD/HD Truck OEMs, Bus OEMs, Construction OEMs, the aftermarket and other markets. The nature, timing and uncertainty of recognition of revenue and associated cash flows across the varying product lines, geographic regions and customer end markets is substantially consistent.
Contractual Arrangements
Revenue is measured based on terms and conditions specified in contracts or purchase orders with customers. We have long-term contracts with some customers that govern overall terms and conditions which are accompanied by purchase orders that define specific order quantities and/or price. We have many customers with which we conduct business outlined in purchase orders without a long-term contract. We generally do not have customer contracts with minimum order quantity requirements.
Amount and Timing of Revenue Recognition
The transaction price is based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring control of a product to the customer. This is defined in a purchase order or in a separate pricing arrangement and represents the stand-alone selling price. Our payment terms vary by customer. None of the Company's business arrangements as of December 31, 2019, contained a significant financing component. We typically do not have multiple performance obligations requiring us to allocate a transaction price.
We recognize revenue at the point in time when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer, usually at a designated shipping point and in accordance with customer specifications. We make estimates for potential customer returns or adjustments based on historical experience, which reduce revenues.
Other Matters
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded in revenues and costs associated with outbound freight are generally accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of revenues. We generally do not provide for extended warranties or material customer incentives. Our customers typically do not have a general right of return for our products.
We had outstanding customer accounts receivable, net of allowances, of $115.1 million as of December 31, 2019 and $133.9 million as of December 31, 2018. We generally do not have other assets or liabilities associated with customer arrangements. In general, we do not make significant judgments or have variable consideration that impact our recognition of revenue.
Refer to Note 12 for revenue disclosures by reportable segments.
4. | Fair Value Measurement |
At December 31, 2019, our financial instruments consisted of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and our revolving credit facility. The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value as a result of the short duration of such instruments or due to the variability of the interest cost associated with such instruments.
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. Our derivative assets and liabilities represent foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and counterparty credit risk. Based on the utilization of these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2.
65
To manage our risk for transactions denominated in Mexican Pesos, we have entered into forward exchange contracts that are designated as cash flow hedge instruments, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The gains and losses as a result of the changes in fair value of the hedge contract is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in cost of revenues in the period the related hedge transactions are recognized.
Interest Rate Swap Agreement. To manage our exposure to variable interest rates, we have entered into an agreement (the “Interest Rate Swap Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. whereby the Company has agreed to exchange, at a specified interval, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. The Interest Rate Swap Agreement is intended to mitigate the impact of rising interest rates on the Company and covers $80 million of outstanding debt under the senior secured term loan facility. The Company expects this agreement to remain effective during the remaining term of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and records the impact of the agreement in interest and other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair values of our derivative instruments and contingent consideration measured on a recurring basis as of December 31 and are categorized as follows:
2019 | 2018 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Long-term Debt. The fair value of long-term debt obligations is based on a fair value model utilizing observable inputs. Based on these inputs, our long-term debt is classified as Level 2. The carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term debt at December 31 are as follows:
2019 | 2018 | ||||||||||||||

Long-lived Assets. There are no fair value measurements of our long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets measured on a non-recurring basis, except for definite-lived intangibles acquired and contingent consideration as a part of the acquisition of First Source Electronics, LLC discussed in Note 5, as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The contingent consideration is classified as Level 3 and valued based on a Monte Carlo valuation model.
5. Business Combinations
On September 17, 2019, the Company entered into and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with First Source Electronics, LLC (“FSE”), Kevin Popielarczyk and Richard Vuoto (collectively, “Principals”) and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CVG FSE, LLC (“CVG FSE”). The Agreement provided for the acquisition (the "FSE Acquisition") by CVG FSE of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of FSE in exchange for a cash purchase price of $34.0 million, subject to a net working capital adjustment, plus a right to earn up to $10.8 million in contingent milestone payments. The purchase was funded through domestic cash on hand and $2.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. FSE is in the business of manufacturing, distributing, marketing and selling cable and electro-mechanical assemblies, control panels and other business and consumer electronics products and services. FSE improves our ability to participate in the progression of digitalization, connectivity and associated power and data applications. Furthermore, this strategic acquisition complements our high-complexity, low-to-medium volume electrical business, and provides an entry into the warehouse automation market, while also providing us with the opportunity to leverage our global footprint and to increase cross selling opportunities.
The milestone payments are payable based on achieving certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") thresholds over the periods from (a) September 18, 2019 through September 17, 2020, (b) September 18, 2019 through March 17, 2021, (c) September 18, 2019 through September 17, 2022 and (d) March 18, 2021 through September 17, 2022. The payment amount will be determined on a sliding scale for reaching between 90% and 100% of the respective EBITDA targets. The fair value for the milestone payments is based on a Monte Carlo simulation utilizing forecasted EBITDA through September 17, 2022. The estimate was recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019. The total undiscounted milestone payments is estimated at $5.6 million and the fair value is $4.7 million as of September 30, 2019.
The Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions and provided for the establishment of an escrow fund of $3.0 million of the purchase price to secure indemnification claims by CVG FSE for an 18-month period. The Company is a party to the Agreement solely as a guarantor of CVG FSE’s payment obligations.
The operating results of FSE, since the date of acquisition, have been included in our consolidated financial statements. From the date of the FSE Acquisition through December 31, 2019, FSE operations recorded revenues of approximately $12.8 million resulting in net income of $0.2 million for the period within the Electrical Systems Segment. Acquisition related expenses for FSE of approximately $0.9 million were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2019 and have been recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
The FSE Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under acquisition accounting, the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of FSE have been recorded at their respective fair values. The Company has completed its preliminary assessment of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the preliminary amounts are reflected in the table below. The purchase price associated with the FSE Acquisition exceeded the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired by approximately $20.4 million. This reflects an increase of $2.7 million from the initial valuation as of September 30, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the net working capital adjustment is still preliminary. The excess purchase price over net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill and was determined as follows:
67
Initial cash paid, net of working capital adjustment | $ | 34,000 | |
Contingent consideration at fair value | 4,700 | ||
Total consideration | $ | 38,700 | |
Net assets at fair value | 18,335 | ||
Excess of total consideration over net assets acquired | $ | 20,365 | |
In the fourth quarter of 2019, management decreased the value of definite-lived intangible assets with an offset to goodwill to reflect a refinement of valuation assumptions. The allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
Accounts receivable | $ | 6,567 | |
Inventories | 3,140 | ||
Prepaid and other current assets | 353 | ||
Property, plant and equipment | 503 | ||
Other long-term assets | 1,650 | ||
Definite-lived intangible assets | 14,500 | ||
Goodwill | 20,365 | ||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (7,204 | ) | |

Total consideration | $ | 38,700 | |
The following unaudited pro forma information for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 presents the result of operations as if the FSE Acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the annual reporting period. The pro forma results reflect estimates and assumptions and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or result of operations had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of the period. The Company adjusted historical results for assumed intangible amortization expense consistent with future years and assumed an effective tax rate of 25%. In addition, the pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the future financial or operating results.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. We utilize an incremental borrowing rate,
69
which is reflective of the specific term of the leases and economic environment of each geographic region, and apply a portfolio approach for certain machinery and equipment that have consistent terms in a specific geographic region.

Term Loan and Security Agreement
On April 12, 2017, the Company entered into a $175.0 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), maturing on April 12, 2023, pursuant to a term loan and security agreement (the “TLS Agreement”) with the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lender parties thereto. Concurrent with the closing of the TLS Agreement, the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used, together with cash on hand in the amount of $74.0 million, to (a) fund the redemption, satisfaction and discharge of all of the Company’s outstanding 7.875% notes along with accrued interest; and (b) pay related transaction costs, fees and expenses. In conjunction with the redemption of the 7.875% notes, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 to write-off deferred financing fees and a charge for interest of $1.5 million paid to bondholders during the 30-day notification period associated with the redemption of the 7.875% notes.
The interest on the Term Loan Facility is variable and is comprised of 1) an applicable margin of either (i) 5.00% for base rate loans or (ii) 6.00% for LIBOR loans, and 2) an applicable rate of either (i) base rate for any day, a per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate for such day, (b) the federal funds rate for such day, plus 0.50%, or (c) LIBOR for a 30 day interest period as of such day, plus 1.00%, or (ii) LIBOR as quoted two business days prior to the commencement of an interest period provided that LIBOR at no time falls below 1.00%. There was $0.1 million in accrued interest as of December 31, 2019. The unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.7 million and original issue discount of $1.8 million are netted against the aggregate book value of the outstanding debt to arrive at a balance of $156.4 million as of December 31, 2019 and are being amortized over the remaining life of the agreement. The weighted average interest rate was 8.29% as of December 31, 2019 and 8.09% as of December 31, 2018.
The Term Loan Facility is a senior secured obligation of the Company. Our obligations under the TLS Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company. The obligations of the Company and the guarantors under the TLS Agreement are secured (subject to certain permitted liens) by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the non-current assets (and
71
a second priority lien on substantially all of the current assets) of the Company and the guarantors, including a first priority pledge of certain capital stock of the domestic and foreign subsidiaries directly owned by the Company and the guarantors. The liens, the security interests and all of the obligations of the Company and the guarantors and all provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to an intercreditor agreement among the Company, the guarantors, the agent for the lenders party to the Company’s revolving credit facility and the collateral agent under the TLS Agreement.
Terms, Covenants and Compliance Status
The TLS Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: incur additional debt; pay dividends or other restricted payments; make investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. In addition, the TLS Agreement contains a financial maintenance covenant requiring the Company to maintain a total leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter not to exceed the ratios set forth in the applicable table within the TLS Agreement. The TLS Agreement also contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants. We were in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2019.
The TLS Agreement requires the Company to repay principal of approximately $1.1 million on the last day of each quarter commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2017 with the remaining outstanding principal due at maturity on April 12, 2023.
Voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the TLS Agreement are permitted at any time, without premium or penalty. In addition, to the extent applicable, customary LIBOR breakage charges may be payable in connection with any prepayment.
The TLS Agreement requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments with excess cash flow, the proceeds of certain asset dispositions and upon the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds; and in the case of an asset disposition or insurance or condemnation event, to the extent the Company does not reinvest the proceeds within the periods set forth in the TLS Agreement. A mandatory prepayment of $4.2 million pursuant to the TLS Agreement was made during the first quarter of 2019 as a result of our 2018 Excess Cash Flow Period.
The TLS Agreement includes customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others:
• nonpayment of obligations when due;
• breach of covenants or other agreements in the TLS Agreement; and
• defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness.
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 12, 2017, Commercial Vehicle Group Inc. and certain subsidiaries, collectively the "borrowers", entered into the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Third ARLS Agreement") increasing its senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") to $65 million from $40 million and setting the maturity date to April 12, 2022. Up to an aggregate of $10.0 million is available to the borrowers for the issuance of letters of credit, which reduces availability under the Third ARLS Agreement.
The Third ARLS Agreement included amendments to certain definitions and covenants including, but not limited to, amendments to (i) permitted debt, (ii) permitted distributions, (iii) distribution of assets, and (iv) the calculation of EBITDA. The Third ARLS Agreement contains a fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant of 1.00:1.00 and amended the availability threshold for triggering compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio.
The borrowers’ obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured (subject to certain permitted liens) by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the current assets (and a second priority lien on substantially all of the non-current assets) of the borrowers. Each of the Company and each other borrower is jointly and severally liable for the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment and performance thereof. The liens, the security interests and all of the obligations of the Company and each other borrower and all provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to an intercreditor agreement among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the agent under the Third ARLS Agreement and the collateral agent for the lenders party to the Company’s Term Loan credit Facility.
On September 18, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as co-borrowers, entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”), which amends the Third ARLS Agreement. The Amendment amends the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility
72
to entitle the Company and the other named borrowers thereunder (subject to the terms and conditions described therein) to request loans and other financial accommodations in an amount equal to the lesser of $90.0 million and a borrowing base composed of accounts receivable and inventory (such facility, the “Tranche A Facility”). Of the $90.0 million, $7.0 million shall be available as a first-in, last-out facility (“Tranche B Facility”) at a 100 basis points premium, as detailed in the below applicable margin table. The Company can increase the size of the revolving commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by an incremental $20.0 million, subject to the consent of the lenders providing the incremental commitments.
The applicable margin is based on average daily availability under the revolving credit facility as follows:
Level | Average Daily Availability | Tranche A Base Rate Loans | Tranche A LIBOR Revolver Loans | Tranche B Base Rate Loans | Tranche B LIBOR Revolver Loans | |||||
III | ≥ $30,000,000 | 0.50% | 1.50% | 1.50% | 2.50% | |||||
II | > $15,000,000 but < $30,000,000 | 0.75% | 1.75% | 1.75% | 2.75% | |||||
I | ≤ $15,000,000 | 1.00% | 2.00% | 2.00% | 3.00% | |||||
The applicable margin is subject to increase or decrease by the agent on the first day of the calendar month following each fiscal quarter end. If the agent is unable to calculate average daily availability for a fiscal quarter due to the borrowers' failure to deliver a borrowing base certificate when required, the applicable margin will be set at Level I until the first day of the calendar month following receipt of a borrowing base certificate. As of December 31, 2019, the applicable margin was set at Level III.
The unamortized deferred financing fees associated with our revolving credit facility of $0.6 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are being amortized over the remaining life of the agreement. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had outstanding letters of credit of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. We had borrowing availability of $55.1 million at December 31, 2019.
The Company pays a commitment fee to the lenders equal to 0.25% per annum of the unused amounts under the revolving credit facility.
Terms, Covenants and Compliance Status
The Third ARLS Agreement requires the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The borrowers are not required to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement for so long as the borrowers maintain borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility at the greater of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) ten percent (10%) of the revolving commitments. If borrowing availability falls below this threshold at any time, the borrowers would be required to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each relevant fiscal quarter and would be required to continue to comply with these requirements until the borrowers have borrowing availability in excess of this threshold for 60 consecutive days. Since the Company had borrowing availability in excess of this threshold from December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2019, the Company was not required to comply with the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant during the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Third ARLS Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: incur additional debt; pay dividends or other restricted payments; make investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. The Third ARLS Agreement also contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2019.
Voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted at any time, without premium or penalty, other than (to the extent applicable) customary LIBOR breakage charges.
The Third ARLS Agreement requires the borrowers to make mandatory prepayments upon the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds in respect of the revolving credit facility’s priority collateral.
The Third ARLS Agreement includes customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others:
73
•nonpayment of obligations when due;
•breach of covenants or other agreements in the Third ARLS Agreement;
•a change of control; and
•defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness, including the term loan credit facility.

We assess whether valuation allowances should be established against deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with unused tax attributes expiring and tax planning alternatives. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.
During 2019, we recorded additional valuation allowance of $0.7 million on the deferred tax assets of our United Kingdom subsidiary and certain U.S. state tax net operating loss carryforwards, and released $3.4 million in valuation allowances related to the deferred tax assets of our Luxembourg subsidiaries. We expect to be able to realize the benefits of all of our deferred tax assets that are not currently offset by a valuation allowance, as discussed above. In the event that our actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, the effects of these adjustments could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $115.2 million, of which $55.2 million related to foreign jurisdictions and $60.0 million related to U.S. state jurisdictions. The carryforward periods for these net operating losses range from five years to indefinite. Utilization of these losses is subject to the tax laws of the applicable tax jurisdiction and may be limited by the ability of certain subsidiaries to generate taxable income in the associated tax jurisdiction. We have established valuation allowances for all net operating losses that we believe are more likely than not to expire before they can be utilized.
76
As of December 31, 2019, we had $2.5 million of U.S. foreign tax credits carried forward primarily attributable to the deemed repatriation of the accumulated untaxed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries resulting from the U.S. Tax Reform. Utilization of these credits may be limited if the Company does not continue to generate U.S. federal taxable income in future years. The credits begin to expire in 2027.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $1.3 million of research and development tax credits being carried forward related to our U.S. operations. Utilization of these credits may be limited if the Company does not continue to generate U.S. federal taxable income in future years. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the unutilized research and development tax credits the Company generated after December 31, 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely whereas the credits generated prior to that date are subject to a 20-year carryforward period. Approximately $0.5 million of the Company's tax credits are subject to the 20-year carryforward period and begin to expire between between 2025 and 2039.
As of December 31, 2019, cash of $39.5 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2019, $19.4 million, net of $1.0 million in foreign withholding tax incurred, was repatriated from the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company plans to repatriate an additional $12.0 million in 2020 and a $0.8 million deferred tax liability was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 for the expected future income tax implications.
We file federal income tax returns in the U.S. and income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S., we are generally no longer subject to tax assessment for tax years prior to 2016. In our major non-U.S. jurisdictions including China, Czech Republic, Mexico and the United Kingdom, tax years are typically subject to examination for three to five years.
As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, we provided a liability of $0.9 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to U.S. federal and state, and foreign jurisdictions. The majority of these unrecognized tax benefits are netted against their related noncurrent deferred tax assets.
We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense. We had $0.4 million and $0.3 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties are included in the $0.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) at December 31 follows:

12. | Segment Reporting and Geographic Locations |
In the year ended December 31, 2018, we completed a strategic reorganization of our operations into two business segments, Electrical Systems and Global Seating. As a result of the strategic reorganization, we restated prior period segment information to conform to the current period segment presentation.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s CODM, which is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Each of these segments consists of a number of manufacturing facilities. Certain of our facilities manufacture and sell products through both of our segments. Each manufacturing facility that sells products through both segments is reflected in the financial results of the segment that has the greatest amount of sales from that manufacturing facility. Our segments are more specifically described below.
The Electrical Systems Segment manufactures and sells the following products:
• | Electrical wire harnesses, control panels, electro-mechanical and cable assemblies primarily for the construction, agricultural, industrial, automotive, truck, mining, rail and military industries in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific; |
• | Trim systems and components ("Trim") primarily for the North America MD/HD Truck market; |
• | Mirrors, wipers and controls primarily for the truck, bus, agriculture, construction, rail and military markets in North America and Europe; |
• | Cab structures for the North American MD/HD Truck market; and |
• | Aftermarket components in North America. |
The Global Seating Segment manufactures and sells the following products:
• | Seats and seating systems ("Seats") primarily to the MD/HD Truck, construction, agriculture and mining markets in North America, Asia-Pacific and Europe; |
• | Office seating in Europe and Asia-Pacific; and |
• | Aftermarket seats and components in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. |
Corporate expenses consist of overhead and shared costs that are not directly attributable to the operations of a segment. For purposes of business segment performance measurement, some of these costs are for the benefit of the operations and are allocated based on a combination of methodologies. The costs that are not allocated to a segment are considered stewardship costs and remain at corporate in our segment reporting.
The following table presents segment revenues, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, amortization expense, operating income, capital expenditures, depreciation expense and other items for the year ended December 31, 2019. The table does not include assets as the CODM does not review assets by segment.

13. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Leases - As disclosed in Note 6, we lease office, warehouse and manufacturing space and equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that generally require us to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses in addition to annual rental fees. As of December 31, 2019, our equipment leases did not provide for any material guarantee of a specified portion of residual values.
Guarantees - Costs associated with guarantees are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of available facts; where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had no such guarantees.
80
Litigation - We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to workers' compensation claims, OSHA investigations, employment disputes, unfair labor practice charges, customer and supplier disputes, service provider disputes, product liability claims, intellectual property disputes, environmental claims arising out of the conduct of our businesses and examinations by the Internal Revenue Service.
Management believes that the Company maintains adequate insurance and that we have established reserves for issues that are probable and estimable in amounts that are adequate to cover reasonable adverse judgments not covered by insurance. Based upon the information available to management and discussions with legal counsel, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate outcome of the various legal actions and claims that are incidental to our business are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows; however, such matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes of individual matters are not predictable with any degree of assurance.
Warranty - We are subject to warranty claims for products that fail to perform as expected due to design or manufacturing deficiencies. Depending on the terms under which we supply products to our customers, a customer may hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products when the product supplied did not perform as represented. Our policy is to record provisions for estimated future customer warranty costs based on historical trends and for specific claims. These amounts, as they relate to the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, are included within accrued liabilities and other in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following presents a summary of the warranty provision for the years ended December 31:

Debt Payments - As disclosed in Note 9, the TLS Agreement requires the Company to repay a fixed amount of principal on a quarterly basis, make mandatory prepayments of excess cash flows and make voluntary prepayments that coincide with certain events.
The following table provides future minimum principal payments and mandatory prepayment of excess cash flows due on long-term debt for the next five years. The existing long-term debt agreement matures in 2023; no payments are due thereafter:

Common Stock - Our authorized capital stock includes common stock of 60,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.01 per share, with 30,801,255 and 30,512,843 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Preferred Stock - Our authorized capital stock includes preferred stock of 5,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.01 per share, with no shares outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share presented is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period as determined by the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when dilutive.
81
Diluted earnings (loss) per share for years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 includes the effects of potential common shares when dilutive. Net income has been restated in 2018 and corrected for immaterial errors in 2017, along with its impact to Basic and Dilutive EPS as discussed in Note 2, and is as follows:

Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders | $ | 0.51 | $ | 1.36 | $ | (0.08 | ) | ||||
The Company has adjusted certain prior period amounts for the restatement and immaterial corrections of error. See Note 2 for details.
There were no anti-dilutive shares for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2018, diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes 55 thousand shares, of nonvested restricted stock as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Dividends — We have not declared or paid any cash dividends in the past. The terms of the Third ARLS Agreement and the Term Loan Facility restrict the payment or distribution of our cash or other assets, including cash dividend payments.

15. Performance Awards
Awards, defined as cash, shares or other awards, may be granted to employees under the Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 EIP”). The cash award is earned and payable based upon the Company’s relative total shareholder return in terms of ranking as compared to the peer group over a three-year period (the “Performance Period”). Total shareholder return is determined by the percentage change in value (positive or negative) over the applicable measurement period as measured by dividing (A) the sum of the cumulative value of dividends and other distributions paid on the Common Stock for the applicable measurement period and the difference (positive or negative) between each such company’s starting stock price and ending stock price, by (B) the starting stock price. The award is payable at the end of the Performance Period in cash if the employee is employed through the end of the Performance Period. If the employee is not employed during the entire Performance Period, the award is forfeited. These grants are accounted for as cash settlement awards for which the fair value of the award fluctuates based on the change in total shareholder return in relation to the peer group.
The following table summarizes performance awards granted in the form of cash awards under the 2014 EIP in November 2018, 2017 and 2016:

The Company generally grants performance awards in November of each year. However, there were no performance awards granted in November 2019. The next cash award under the 2014 EIP will be granted in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Unrecognized compensation expense was $1.1 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
16. Share-Based Compensation
The compensation expense for our share-based compensation arrangements (see Restricted Stock Awards below) was $2.8 million, $3.1 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Restricted Stock Awards - Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock that may not be sold, encumbered or disposed of and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment or in the case of the board of directors, a separation for cause, prior to the end of a restricted period set by the compensation committee of the board of directors. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder, unless the compensation committee determines otherwise.
The following table summarizes information about unvested restricted stock grants as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands):
Grant | Shares Granted | Unvested Shares | Vesting Schedule | Unearned Compensation | Remaining Period to Vesting (in months) | |||||||||

As of December 31, 2019, there was approximately $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our equity incentive plans. This expense is subject to future adjustments and forfeitures and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period listed above for each grant.
A summary of the status of our restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2019 and changes during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 is presented below:

Repurchase of Common Stock - We did not repurchase any of our common stock on the open market as part of a stock repurchase program during 2019; however, our employees surrendered 130 thousand shares of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of the restricted stock awards.
17. Defined Contribution Plan, Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Plan - We sponsor a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees. Eligible employees can contribute on a pre-tax basis to the plan. In accordance with the terms of the 401(k) plan, we elect to match a certain percentage of the participants’ contributions to the plan, as defined. We recognized expense associated with the plan of $4.6 million in 2019, $3.6 million in 2018 and $3.0 million in 2017.
Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans - We sponsor pension and other post-retirement benefit plans that cover certain hourly and salaried employees in the U.S. and United Kingdom. Each of the plans are frozen to new participants and to additional service credits earned. In December 2018, we consolidated the U.S. plans. Our policy is to make annual contributions to the plans to fund the minimum contributions, as required by local regulations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company offered employees with deferred vested balances in the U.S. defined benefit pension plan the opportunity to voluntarily elect an early payout of their benefits. Payouts totaling $7.9 million were made during 2019 and were paid out of plan assets resulting in a non-cash settlement charge of $2.5 million, which was recorded in interest and other expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and is reflected in amortization of prior service cost in the net periodic (benefit) cost table below.

Significant Obligation Loss - The projected U.S. benefit obligation includes a net loss of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The loss is a result of changes in key actuarial assumptions, including the early payout of benefits decrease in the discount rate. The projected Non-U.S. benefit obligation includes a net loss of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 driven primarily by a decrease in the discount rate assumption.
As a result of pension legislation in the United Kingdom that was effective October 2018, the Company was required to amend its pension plan to equalize benefits between male and female pensioners. This resulted in additional pension obligation and a reduction to accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.8 million in 2018. There are no material updates to this estimate for as of December 31, 2019.

Expected return on plan assets | 5.34 | % | 7.00 | % | 7.00 | % | 3.70 | % | 3.70 | % | 3.70 | % | |||||
The rate of return assumptions are based on projected long-term market returns for the various asset classes in which the plans are invested, weighted by the target asset allocations. An incremental amount for active plan asset management and diversification, where appropriate, is included in the rate of return assumption. Our pension plan investment strategy is reviewed periodically, but no less frequently than annually.
We employ a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities, fixed income and real estate investments are intended to maximize the long-term return of plan assets taking into consideration a prudent level of risk. The intent of this strategy is to minimize plan expenses by outperforming plan liabilities over the long run. Risk tolerance is established through consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity, balanced, fixed income and real estate investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as growth, value and large and small capitalizations. Other assets, such as real estate, are used judiciously to perhaps enhance long-term returns and to improve portfolio diversification. Derivatives may be used to gain market exposure in an efficient and timely manner; however, derivatives may not be used to leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of the underlying investments. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis in light of annual liability measurements, periodic asset/liability studies and quarterly investment portfolio reviews. We expect to contribute approximately $1.0 million to our pension plans and our other post-retirement benefit plans in 2020.
Our current investment allocation target for our pension plans for 2019 and our weighted-average asset allocations of our pension assets for the years ended December 31, by asset category, are as follows:

Our plan assets can be described as follows:
Equity Securities - Includes common stocks issued by U.S., United Kingdom and other international companies, equity funds that invest in common stocks and unit linked insurance policies. Equity investments generally allow near-term (within 90 days of the measurement date) liquidity and are held in issues that are actively traded to facilitate transactions at minimum cost.
Balanced Securities - Includes funds primarily invested in a mix of equity and fixed income securities where the allocations are at the discretion of the investment manager. Investments generally allow near-term (within 90 days of the measurement date) liquidity and are held in issues that are actively traded to facilitate transactions at minimum cost.
Fixed Income Securities - Includes U.S. dollar-denominated and United Kingdom and other international marketable bonds and convertible debt securities as well as fixed income funds that invest in these instruments. Investments generally allow near-term liquidity and are held in issues that are actively traded to facilitate transactions at minimum cost.
The fair value of fixed income securities is determined by either direct or indirect quoted market prices. When the value of assets held in separate accounts is not published, the value is based on the underlying holdings, which are primarily direct quoted market prices on regulated financial exchanges.
Real Estate - Real estate provides an indirect investment into a diversified and multi-sector portfolio of property assets. The fair value of real estate investments is determined by the fund managers. The fund managers value the real estate investments via independent third-party appraisals on a periodic basis. Assumptions used to revalue the properties are updated every quarter.
The fair values of our pension plan assets by asset category and by level as described in Note 4 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

19. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)
As further described in Note 2, the previously reported financial information for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018 and September 30, 2019 and 2018, have been restated. Relevant restated financial information for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2018 is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in the tables that follow. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Restated amounts are computed independently each quarter; therefore, the sum of the quarterly amounts may not equal the total amount for the respective year due to rounding.

20. Cost Reduction and Manufacturing Capacity Rationalization
During 2019, the Company began implementing cost reduction and manufacturing capacity rationalization initiatives (the "Restructuring Initiatives") in response to declines in end market volumes. These actions were initiated in 2019 and are expected to continue through 2020. The Restructuring Initiatives consist primarily of headcount reductions in each segment and at corporate, as well as other costs associated with transfer of production and subsequent closure of facilities.
Total pre-tax costs associated with these actions are estimated to be $5 million to $7 million and are expected to lower operating costs beginning in the first quarter of 2020. A summary of the costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2019 follows:

Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures |
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
As described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included within this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on March 12, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, after considering the recommendations of management, and discussing such recommendations with outside SEC counsel and KPMG, LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018, and September 30, 2019 and 2018, included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, should no longer be relied upon due to misstatements. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, selected financial data (Item 6. "Selected Financial Data") and relevant unaudited interim financial information for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, June 30, 2019 and 2018, September 30, 2019 and 2018, and December 31, 2018 included within this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been restated.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the "Exchange Act,") as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2019 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weaknesses discussed below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining, under the direction of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and supervision of the Board of Directors, adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework).
131
We have excluded from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2019 the internal control over financial reporting of FSE, the assets of which were acquired in 2019 (see Note 5 in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K). As of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the assets and revenue represented by the acquired business was $46.9 million and $12.8 million, respectively.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on our assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019 as a result of the material weaknesses discussed below.
A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company identified errors in the accounting for prepaid production tooling (presented in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets), construction-in-progress and miscellaneous accounts receivable (presented in accounts receivable, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets) in one manufacturing facility. These errors resulted from material weaknesses due to an ineffective risk management process that resulted in ineffectively designed controls over balance sheet account reconciliations and review of manual journal entries.
The three material weaknesses identified resulted in material misstatements that have been corrected in the consolidated financial statements filed as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, Note 2).
KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
Remediation Plan and Status
The Company has developed a remediation plan which includes, but is not limited to, an assessment of the Company’s processes and controls over balance sheet account reconciliations, manual journal entries and risk assessment. Based on the results of that assessment, we intend to undertake such measures as deemed necessary, including:
1) enhancing the design of the balance sheet account reconciliation process to better enable the proper and timely review of balance sheet account reconciliations, including the supporting documentation thereto;
2) enhancing the design of the manual journal entry process to better enable the proper and timely review of manual journal entries, including the supporting documentation thereto; and
3) enhancing the Company’s risk assessment process to reduce the risk of financial misstatements.
While the foregoing measures are intended to effectively remediate the material weaknesses described in this Item 9A, it is possible that additional remediation steps will be necessary. As we continue to evaluate and implement our plan to remediate the material weaknesses, our management may decide to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify the remediation steps described above. Until these material weaknesses are remediated, we plan to continue to perform additional analyses and other procedures to help ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than described above in this Item 9A, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses, described below, on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II; Valuation and Qualifying Accounts and Reserves (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 16, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Material weaknesses related to an ineffective risk assessment process that resulted in ineffectively designed controls over balance sheet account reconciliations and review of manual journal entries have been identified and included in management’s assessment. The material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report on those consolidated financial statements.
The Company acquired First Source Electronics, LLC (FSE) during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, FSE’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $46.9 million and total revenues of $12.8 million included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of FSE.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
133
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
