ITEM 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On August 2, 2016, Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. On August 2, 2016, members of the Company’s management held a second quarter 2016 earnings conference call discussing the Company’s financial results and the presentation furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2, accompanied management’s comments.

 

The press release and conference call presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted Consolidated Constant Currency Sales (“Adjusted Sales”) and Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in the press release and conference call presentation are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and expected results of operations because the Adjusted Sales and Adjusted EBITDA facilitates a period to period comparison of operating results by excluding the impact of foreign currency translation on sales as well as unusual, non-recurring items. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 these items relate to the share-based compensation expense associated with the retirement of our former President and Chief Executive Officer, goodwill impairment related to the PST segment and debt extinguishment costs resulting from the partial redemption of the senior secured notes. Adjusted EBITDA represents the sum of operating income (loss), depreciation, amortization, certain purchase accounting costs, unusual items and an adjustment for discontinued operations. These non-GAAP measures, however, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Adjusted Sales and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for sales or EBITDA prepared in accordance with GAAP.
