Business Overview
CVG is a global provider of components and assemblies into two primary end markets – the global vehicle market and the U.S. technology integrator markets. The company provides components and assemblies to global vehicle companies to build original equipment and provides aftermarket products for fleet owners. The company also provides mechanical assemblies to warehouse automation integrators and to U.S. military technology integrators.
Commercial Trends in the North America Commercial Truck Markets
Demand for our products may be driven by preferences of the end-user of the vehicle, particularly with respect to heavy-duty trucks. 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.
Current trends include future adoption of electric vehicles in the commercial truck segment. Commercial truck makers are developing electric models of all classes of trucks and buses in their fleets. This has created an increased number of platform opportunities relative to historical trends of platform changes as well as the aftermarket opportunities. The Company competes to retain its existing positions on platforms that are getting refreshed, competitively win new positions on platforms on which it is not the incumbent supplier, and gain first mover positions on new Electric Vehicle platforms. The global truck market is evolving to include many offerings aimed at low emissions and less impact on the environment. The Company has a targeted growth plan that it is pursuing to grow the Company.
In general, 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.
With respect to the North American medium-duty (or "Class 5-7") market, we primarily participate in the Class 6 and 7 portion of the 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.
The Company is a new entrant into the last-mile delivery vehicle market. This is a focus of business development activities and the Company has secured future business in 2022 and beyond.
Commercial Trends in Warehouse Automation Subsystems
Demand for our warehouse automation subsystems is derived by expansion of supply chain infrastructures to accommodate increased customer orders in e-commerce. As the percentage of products ordered on-line increases, the delivery mechanisms must expand and increase output. Additionally, desire for cost reduction, increased throughput volume and SKU proliferation, a greater variety of order and package types, more frequent product returns by end consumers, and COVID-19-driven social distancing protocols on warehouse floors all have driven increased investment in automated solutions by warehouse operators. CVG assembles the material handling subsystems incorporated into automated warehouses.
Commercial Trends in Construction Equipment
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.
Other Key Developments
On April 30, 2021, the Company closed on $275 million in senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $150 million Term Loan Facility and a $125 million Revolving Credit Facility. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $7.2 million, including non-cash write off relating to deferred financing costs and unamortized discount of the

2023 Term Loan Facility, a voluntary repayment premium, and certain fees related to the new Credit Facilities during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The Company deferred $1.8 million of fees related to the new Credit Facilities. All amounts under the 2023 Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Credit Facility were repaid and discharged in full on April 30, 2021 and the TLS Agreement and Third ARLS Agreement were terminated.
Although the economy has begun to recover, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause, significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruptions to our business. While we continue to operate our facilities, we may experience production slowdowns and/or shutdowns at our manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific as a result of government orders, our inability to obtain component parts from suppliers and/or decreased customer demand. In addition, many of our suppliers and customers may experience production slowdowns and/or shutdowns, which may further impact our business, sales and results of operation. Continued impact on the Company's business, sales and results of operations from the COVID-19 pandemic may also result in additional valuation allowances being recorded against our deferred tax assets. The extent of the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business results depends on future developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic and its overall impact on the economy.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, while volume and demand is rebounding, we experienced supply constraints, labor constraints, material cost increases, and freight cost increases. The impact of the pandemic and related economic recovery continue to be uneven from period to period and across our global footprint based on local and regional outbreaks. We continue to proactively monitor, assess and minimize disruptions and delays in production, focus on cost control and recovery through pricing adjustments, and take reasonable measures to protect our workforce.
As we begin the third quarter, supply chains for our products continue to be negatively impacted by the global shortage of semiconductor chips. We are proactively managing labor shortages due to local dynamics around our primary manufacturing facilities, material inflation, freight costs increases, and global supply constraints.
Specific to the comparative three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, in late March 2020, the Company took action to right-size the business and working capital profile to protect profit margin and liquidity levels. We implemented a comprehensive program of cost reduction initiatives and manufacturing capacity rationalization initiatives. These actions continued through the end of 2020. Actions included headcount reductions, reduction in recurring consulting expenses, re-prioritization and decrease in capital spending and reduction in sales and marketing expenses. Additionally, the Company eliminated the Corporate Business Development, Aviation, Quality, Procurement and Operating Excellence departments. The Company also implemented other temporary measures including pay reductions, plant shutdowns, furloughs, elimination of most annual incentive pay, suspension of the employer 401(k) match, and reduction in non-essential travel in an effort to mitigate the future risk of uncertainty.

Note, overall fluctuations in results from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to three months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily driven by a very weak second quarter of 2020 impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Revenues . The increase in consolidated revenues resulted from:
• a $60.4 million, or 191.1%, increase in OEM North American MD/HD Truck revenues;
• a $41.5 million, or 384.3%, increase in warehouse automation revenues;
• a $17.8 million, or 72.7%, increase in OEM construction equipment revenues;
• a $6.2 million, or 29.4%, increase in aftermarket and OES revenues; and
• a $5.1 million, or 17.8% increase in other revenues.
Second quarter 2021 revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $6.8 million, which is reflected in the change in revenues above.
Gross Profit . The $27.9 million increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume and improved cost structure, partially offset by material price increases and sales mix. Included in gross profit is cost of revenues, which increased $103.2 million, or 85.7%, as a result of an increase in raw material and purchased component costs of $76.9 million, or 105.5%, and an increase in labor and overhead expenses of $26.3 million, or 55.3%. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 13.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 5.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A”) consist primarily of wages and benefits and other expenses such as marketing, travel, legal, audit, rent and utility costs which are not directly associated with the manufacturing of our products. SG&A expenses increased $1.2 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the reduced wages and benefits in 2020 as a result of the temporary actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase was offset by a $3.3 million decrease in charge for Contingent Consideration and $1.0 million decrease in charges associated with ongoing Restructuring Initiatives. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expense was 7.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 13.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Interest Expense . Interest associated with our debt was $2.8 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in interest expense primarily related to a $1.2 million decrease in Payment In Kind interest expense resulting from the loan amendment that occurred in the second quarter of 2020 and a lower interest expense of $1.0 million due to refinancing of the Company's long term debt.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. On April 30, 2021, the Company refinanced its long-term debt, which resulted in a loss of $7.2 million, including a $3.7 million non-cash write off relating to deferred financing costs and unamortized discount of the 2023 Term Loan Facility, a voluntary repayment premium of $3.0 million and $0.5 million of other fees associated with the new debt.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. An income tax provision of $1.5 million and an income tax benefit of $3.1 million were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The period over period change in income tax was primarily attributable to a $22.3 million increase in pre-tax income versus the prior year period.
Net Income (loss). Net income was $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income is attributable to the factors noted above.

As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expense was 6.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 11.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Impairment Expense . As a result of the Company's market capitalization having a value less than the carrying value of its equity for a period of time, the Company determined it had an impairment indicator during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Accordingly, we recognized a $27.1 million impairment of goodwill and impairment of long-lived assets of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Other Expense. Other expenses decreased $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to a favorable change in foreign currency of $1.1 million.
Interest Expense . Interest associated with our debt, and other expense was $7.9 million and $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in interest expense primarily related to a lower interest expense of $1.5 million due to refinancing of the Company's long term debt and a favorable change in interest rate swap adjustments of $1.0 million, offset by a $0.4 million increase in Payment In Kind interest expense resulting from the loan amendment that occurred in the second quarter of 2020.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. On April 30, 2021, the Company refinanced its long-term debt, which resulted in a loss of $7.2 million, including a $3.7 million non-cash write off relating to deferred financing costs and unamortized discount of the 2023 Term Loan Facility, a voluntary repayment premium of $3.0 million and $0.5 million of other fees associated with the new debt.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. An income tax provision of $4.1 million and an income tax benefit of $10.4 million were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The period over period change in income tax was primarily attributable to a $65.2 million increase in pre-tax income versus the prior year period.

Gross Profit. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume. Included in gross profit is cost of revenues, which increased $39.4 million, or 34.2%, as a result of an increase in raw material and purchased component costs of $30.3 million, or 40.8%, and an increase in labor and overhead expenses of $9.1 million, or 22.2%. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 12.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 11.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . SG&A expenses increased $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, consistent with the prior year amount on a percent of sales basis.
Impairment Expense . As a result of the Company's market capitalization having a value less than the carrying value of its equity, the Company determined it had an impairment indicator during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Accordingly, we recognized a $4.8 million impairment of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company borrowed $35.5 million under its revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2021, the Company had liquidity of $129.1 million, consisting of $41.0 million of cash and $88.1 million of availability from the revolving credit facility.
Our primary sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2021 were cash reserves and availability under our revolving credit facility. We believe that these sources of liquidity will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt service throughout the next twelve months. However, no assurance can be given that this will be the case.
As of June 30, 2021, cash of $40.9 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The Company had a $0.5 million deferred tax liability as of June 30, 2021 for the expected future income tax implications of repatriating cash from the foreign subsidiaries for which no indefinite reinvestment assertion has been made.
Covenants and Liquidity
Our ability to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement, as discussed in Note 4, Debt, may be affected by economic or business conditions beyond our control. Based on our current forecast, we believe that we will be able to maintain compliance with the financial maintenance covenants and the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, if applicable, and other covenants in the Credit Agreement for the next twelve months in accordance with Note 4, Debt; however, no assurances can be given that we will be able to comply. We base our forecasts on historical experience, industry forecasts and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. If actual results are substantially different than our current forecast we may not be able to comply with our financial covenants. If we do not comply with the financial and other covenants in the Credit Agreement, the lenders could declare an event of default under the Credit Agreement and our indebtedness thereunder could be declared immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement contain cross default provisions. If we are unable to borrow under the Credit Agreement, we will need to meet our capital requirements using alternative sources of liquidity which may not be available on acceptable terms. Any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity.

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. Significant Accounting Policies", to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 in our 2020 Form 10-K.
Critical accounting estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results. These estimates require management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to estimate matters that are inherently uncertain. We review the development, selection, and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Com mittee of our board of directors. For information about critical accounting estimates, see Critical Accounting Estimates in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2020 Form 10-K. At June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K.
