New in FY2025

  • Commercial Trends in the Global Seating and Trim Systems and Components Segments Demand for our products may be driven by preferences of the end-user of the vehicle, particularly with respect to heavy-duty trucks in North America.
  • North American heavy-duty truck production was 251,247 units in 2025.
  • According to a February 2026 report by ACT Research, a publisher of industry market research, North American Class 8 production levels are expected to increase to approximately 260,000 units in 2026.
  • ACT Research estimated that the average age of active North American Class 8 trucks was 5.8 years in 2025.
  • North American medium-duty (or "Class 5-7") truck production was 195,522 units in 2025.
  • According to a February 2026 report by ACT Research, North American Class 5-7 truck production is expected to increase to approximately 197,000 units in 2026.
  • Commercial Trends in the Global Electrical Systems Segment Demand for our Global Electrical Systems products, such as wire harnesses, is primarily driven by construction and agriculture equipment vehicle production.
  • A developing trend that may have a favorable impact on our Global Electrical Systems segment is the expectation that autonomous, self-driving cars are expected to become more common with continued advancements in technology, including applications such as last mile delivery.
  • Demand for autonomous vehicles will contribute to higher electrical and electronic content per vehicle and increased complexity in vehicle wiring architectures.
  • As vehicles incorporate additional sensors, connectivity features, and electronic systems, demand is expected to increase for more complex wire harness solutions supporting power distribution, data transmission, and safety-related functions.
  • This trend may create opportunities for suppliers, like us, with capabilities in advanced design, engineering, and manufacturing of integrated wiring systems.
  • The timing and extent of adoption of these technologies remain uncertain and are influenced by factors such as regulatory requirements, technology readiness, infrastructure development, and overall vehicle production levels.
  • Changes in vehicle mix, platform design, or customer demand could impact volumes and content levels and, in turn, affect demand for the Company’s products.
  • Other Key Developments The Company announced on June 27, 2025, it had closed on $210 million in senior secured credit facilities, consisting of (i) a $95 million senior secured Term Loan with TCW Group, as agent, and (ii) a $115 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as agent.
  • Obligations under the new senior secured credit facilities will mature on June 27, 2030, with the ABL revolving credit facility springing to 91 days prior to the maturity of the Term Loan or third-party subordinated debt.
  • In connection with the financing, TCW Group affiliates received five-year warrants for the purchase of up to 3,934,776 shares of the company’s common stock, issued in two equal tranches.
  • The tranches of warrants have an exercise price of $1.52 and $2.07 per share, respectively.
  • Until the fourth anniversary after issuance, the Company has the right to repurchase up to 50 % of each tranche of warrants at a price equal to $ 1.40 or $ 1.00 per share, respectively, above the applicable exercise price.
  • Upon a refinancing of the new credit agreement, the holders can require the Company to repurchase up to 50% of each tranche at a price equal to the price of the common stock at the time of repurchase less the exercise price.
  • The warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments.
  • The Company has provided the holders with certain information and registration rights, including filing a registration statement within 45 days to register the resale of the shares underlying the warrants.
  • The Company announced a new organizational structure designed to enhance alignment with its customers and end markets, effective January 1, 2025.
  • Under this new structure, CVG reorganized its vertical business units into the following three operating divisions and reporting segments: Global Electrical Systems, Global Seating, Trim Systems and Components.
  • As part of this realignment, the Company’s Aftermarket & Accessories business unit was absorbed in these three segments.
  • Its seating and electrical portfolio transitioned to Global Seating and Global Electrical Systems, respectively.
  • Its wiper systems became part of the newly formed Trim Systems and Components business unit in addition to the trim and components businesses from the prior Vehicle Solutions segment.
  • We are navigating through several challenging external factors which create uncertainty and volatility in our end markets, including, but not limited to, geopolitical dynamics, new and changing tariff actions and responses, tax regulation and fluctuating foreign exchange rates.
  • We expect the Company’s cost of goods sold will continue to be impacted by tariffs which increase the price of materials purchased and products sold to customers.
  • In the past, we have negotiated with our customers in an attempt to pass on a portion of the increased costs resulting from the tariffs to our customers, although there is significant uncertainty as to our ability to pass these costs, or a portion of these costs, along to our customers.
  • Geopolitical uncertainties will continue to create a challenging operating environment.
  • We continue to closely monitor the situation and are prepared to remain agile in responding to any new developments.
  • In addition, lower courts and administrative processes will need to provide guidance with respect to refund-related questions with respect to the IEEPA tariffs paid prior to the recent U.S.
  • On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in the United States.
  • Key provisions of the bill include, but are not limited to, immediate expensing of R&D expenditures, restoration and expansion of 100% bonus depreciation and permanent reinstatement of the EBITDA limitation for the calculation of the 163(j) business interest expense deduction.
  • Additionally, the bill extends and modifies certain international tax provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 20 25.
  • The tax provisions in OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
  • Our Long-term Strategy The Company's long-term strategy is to increase our sales, profits and shareholder value by growing our Global Electrical Systems segment to be our largest business while financially optimizing its core legacy businesses, organically growing in targeted areas, strengthening our product portfolio, increasing our margins and evaluating opportunities to add to our businesses through a focused M&A program.
  • Our Board and management periodically and from time to time, review and evaluate our short-term and long-term strategies, as well as potential strategic alternatives, to enhance shareholder value.
  • These strategic alternatives may include, among others, acquisitions, dispositions and other business combination transactions, recapitalizations, restructurings or other transactions, in each case, involving all or a portion of our business.
  • There can be no assurance that any such transaction will be pursued or completed, or, if completed, that it will achieve the intended strategic or financial objectives.
