Second Quarter 2025 Highlights (Results from Continuing Operations; compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted) Revenues of $172.0 million, down 11.2%, primarily due to softening in global demand.Operating income of $0.8 million, adjusted operating income of $1.9 million, down compared to operating income of $1.1 million and adjusted operating income of $4.8 million. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by lower sales volumes.Net loss from continuing operations of $4.1 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $2.9 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $1.3 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share and adjusted net income of $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.Adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million, down 36.6%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.0%, down from 4.2%.Free cash flow of $17.3 million, up $16.5 million, due to better working capital management. Net debt decreased $31.8 million compared to the year end 2024 level.Gross margin expansion of 80 basis points versus Q1 2025 due to operational efficiency improvements. James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Despite continued macroeconomic volatility, particularly a softening in Construction and Agriculture and Class 8 end markets and ongoing concerns around tariff impacts, we were pleased with continued momentum in our second quarter results, which were highlighted by strong free cash generation. During the quarter, we made progress in implementing operational improvements and right sizing our manufacturing footprint, which drove sequential gross margin improvement for the second consecutive quarter. Additionally, as part of our efforts to preserve margin performance, we are continuing our efforts to further reduce our targeted SG&A levels, and we are having constructive negotiations with customers as it relates to mitigating tariff impacts.” Mr. Ray continued, “We are encouraged by the improved performance in our Global Electrical Systems segment, driven by new business wins outside of the Construction and Agriculture end markets, which continue to see lower demand. The Global Electrical Systems segment also saw margin expansion despite revenues being flat year-over-year. Across our enterprise, we remain focused on execution, delivery, and driving operational efficiency, while managing the potential impact of trade policy.” Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We were pleased to see continued strong free cash generation in the quarter, as well as continued improvement in gross margin, as the benefits of our strategic initiatives take hold. Given our successful working capital initiatives, we are raising our free cash outlook to at least $30 million for the full fiscal year. Continued free cash generation and debt paydown remain key focus areas moving forward. During the quarter, we completed the refinancing of our credit facilities, which will further benefit our strategic initiatives and provide increased financial flexibility as we look to drive further cost reductions, margin improvement, and overall operational efficiency.” Second Quarter Financial Results from Continuing Operations(amounts in millions except per share data and percentages)  Second Quarter     2025 2024 $ Change % ChangeRevenues$172.0  $193.7  $(21.7) (11.2)%Gross profit$19.5  $20.5  $(1.0) (4.9)%Gross margin 11.3%  10.6%    Adjusted gross profit 1$20.6  $24.0  $(3.4) (14.2)%Adjusted gross margin 1 12.0%  12.4%    Operating income$0.8  $1.1  $(0.3) (27.3)%Operating margin 0.5%  0.6%    Adjusted operating income 1$1.9  $4.8  $(2.9) (60.4)%Adjusted operating margin 1 1.1%  2.5%    Net income (loss) from continuing operations$(4.1) $(1.3) $(2.8) NM2 Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations 1$(2.9) $1.5  $(4.4) NM2 Earnings (loss) per share, diluted$(0.12) $(0.04) $(0.08) NM2 Adjusted earnings (loss) per share, diluted 1$(0.09) $0.05  $(0.14) NM2 Adjusted EBITDA 1$5.2  $8.2  $(3.0) (36.6)%Adjusted EBITDA margin 1 3.0%  4.2%    1 See Appendix A for GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation    2 Not meaningful          Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations Second Quarter 2025 Results Second quarter 2025 revenues were $172.0 million, compared to $193.7 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 11.2%.

Outlook CVG updated the Company's outlook for the full year 2025, based on current market conditions: MetricPrior 2025 Outlook ($ millions)2025 Outlook ($ millions)Net Sales$660- $690$650- $670Adjusted EBITDA$22 - $27$21 - $25Free Cash Flow> $20> $30    This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North America Class 8 truck builds. According to ACT Research, 2025 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 252,000 units. The 2024 actual Class 8 truck builds according to the ACT Research was 332,372 units. Construction and Agriculture end markets are projected to decline approximately 5-15% in 2025. However, we expect the contribution from new business wins outside of Construction and Agriculture end markets in Electrical Systems to soften this decline.

In general, the non-GAAP measures exclude items that (i) management believes reflect the Company’s multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning and to determine incentive compensation. Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on the Company’s financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and to comparable reporting periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
