NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries 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. References herein to the "Company", "CVG", "we", "our", or "us" refer to Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Except as disclosed within these condensed notes to unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements, the adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.
These condensed notes to unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "2020 Form 10-K"), which includes a complete set of footnote disclosures, including the Company's significant accounting policies.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting". The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Also, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope", to clarify that certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and the amendments will be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the effect these ASUs will have on the Company.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
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. The Company implemented ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021 and the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-10, "Codification Improvements". The ASU updates various codification topics by clarifying and improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC's regulations. The Company implemented ASU 2020-10 as of January 1, 2021 and the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
We had outstanding customer accounts receivable, net of allowances, of $202.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and $151.1 million as of December 31, 2020. We generally do not have other assets or liabilities associated with customer arrangements.

Credit Agreement
On April 30, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) between, among others, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and other lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) pursuant to which the Lenders made available a $150 million Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $125 million Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility includes a $10 million swing line sublimit and a $10 million letter of credit sublimit. The Credit Agreement provides for an incremental term facility agreement and/or an increase of the Revolving Credit Facility (together, the “Incremental Facilities”), in a maximum aggregate amount of (a) up to the date of receipt of financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022, $75 million, and (b) thereafter, (i) $75 million less the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities incurred before such date, plus (ii) an unlimited amount if the pro forma consolidated total leverage ratio (assuming the Incremental Facilities are fully drawn) is less than 2.50:1.0. The Credit Facilities mature on April 30, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).
The proceeds of the Credit Facilities were used, together with cash on hand of the Company, to (a) fund the redemption, satisfaction and discharge of all of the Company’s outstanding secured credit facility due 2023 (the “2023 Term Loan Facility”) issued pursuant to a term facility agreement (the “Term Facility Agreement”) between, among others, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and other lender parties thereto, (b) fund the redemption, satisfaction and discharge of all of the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”) issued pursuant to a facility agreement (the “ABL Facility Agreement”) between, among others, Bank of America, N.A. as agent and certain financial institutions as lenders, (c) pay transaction costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith and in connection with the Credit Agreement, and (d) for working capital and other lawful corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
At June 30, 2021 we had $35.5 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, outstanding letters of credit were $1.4 million and we had availability of $88.1 million. The unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the Revolving Credit Facility were $1.4 million as of June 30, 2021, which are being amortized over the remaining life of the Credit Agreement. The unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the ABL Revolving Credit Facility were $0.4 million as of December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit of $1.6 million.
Interest rates and fees
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities and the commitment fee payable in connection with the Credit Facilities accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to (at the Company’s option) the base rate or the Eurodollar rate plus a rate which will vary according to the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate received by the Administrative Agent, as set out in the following table:
All obligations under the Credit Agreement and related documents are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (the “Guarantors”). All obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by a first priority pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and of the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The property pledged by the Company and the Guarantors includes a first priority pledge of all of the equity interests owned by the Company and the Guarantors in their respective domestic subsidiaries and a first priority pledge of the equity interests owned by the Company and the Guarantors in certain foreign subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.
Covenants and other terms
The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt and guarantees; grant certain liens on assets; pay dividends or make certain other distributions; make certain investments or acquisitions; dispose of certain assets; make payments on certain indebtedness; merge, combine with any other person or liquidate; amend organizational documents; make material changes in accounting treatment or reporting practices; enter into certain restrictive agreements; enter into certain hedging agreements; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into certain employee benefit plans; and other matters customarily included in senior secured loan agreements.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants, as well as customary events of default, including, without limitation, nonpayment of obligations under the Credit Facilities when due; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants in the Credit Agreement and certain other documents executed in connection therewith; breach or default of agreements related to material debt; revocation or attempted revocation of guarantees; denial of the validity or enforceability of the loan documents or failure of the loan documents to be in full force and effect; certain material judgments; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; certain Employee Retirement Income Securities Act events; and a change in control of the Company. Certain of the defaults are subject to exceptions, materiality qualifiers, grace periods and baskets customary for credit facilities of this type.
The Credit Agreement includes (a) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20:1.0, and (b) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio of 3.75:1.0 (which will be subject to step-downs to 3.50:1.0 at the end of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021; to 3.25:1.0 at the end of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022; and to 3.00:1.0 for each fiscal quarter on and after the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022).
We were in compliance with the covenants as of June 30, 2021.
Repayment and prepayment
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to make quarterly amortization payments to the Term Loan Facility at an annualized rate of the loans under the Term Loan Facility for every year as follows: 5.0%, 7.5%, 10.0%, 12.5% and 15%. The Credit Agreement also requires all outstanding amounts under the Credit Facilities to be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.
The Credit Agreement requires prepayments from the receipt of proceeds of dispositions or debt issuance, subject to certain exceptions and ability to re-invest and use proceeds towards acquisitions permitted by the Credit Agreement.
Voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities are permitted at any time, without premium or penalty. Any prepayment of Eurodollar loans shall be in a principal amount of $1 million or a whole multiple of $1 million in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding) and any prepayment of base rate loans shall be in a principal amount of $0.5 million or a whole multiple of $0.1 million in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding).
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Company, The representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
Term Loan and Security Agreement
On April 12, 2017, the Company entered into the $175.0 million 2023 Term Loan Facility, maturing on April 12, 2023, pursuant to a term loan and security agreement (the “TLS Agreement”), the terms of which are described in Note 3, Debt in our 2020 Form 10-K. On April 30, 2021, the 2023 Term Loan Facility was fully repaid and terminated as described below.
ABL Revolving Credit Facility
On September 18, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment of the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Third ARLS Agreement”), dated as of April 12, 2017, the terms of which are described in Note 3, Debt in our 2020 10-K and which governed the Company’s ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
On March 1, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 3, which amended the terms of the Third ARLS Agreement, among other things, to extend the maturity date of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility to March 1, 2026 and to remove the condition that the first $7.0 million of the $90.0 million Revolver Commitments are available as a first-in, last-out facility.
The Third ARLS Agreement, as amended, also allowed the Company to increase the size of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility by up to $50.0 million with the consent of Lenders providing the increase in the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. On April 30, 2021, the ABL Revolving Credit Facility was fully repaid and terminated as described below.
Termination of TLS Agreement and Third ARLS Agreement
Effective on April 30, 2021, the Company issued a notice of redemption in respect of its 2023 Term Loan Facility and the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and deposited with the Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent under the TLS Agreement and the Third ARLS Agreement proceeds from the Credit Facilities, together with cash on hand in an amount sufficient to discharge the Company’s obligations under the TLS Agreement and the Third ARLS Agreement and respective related agreements. 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.
The discharge resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.2 million, including $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, recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Cash Paid for Interest
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, cash payments for interest were $5.4 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. During the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the Company’s market capitalization value being less than the carrying value of its equity for a duration of time, the Company determined it had an impairment indicator. Accordingly, the Company estimated the fair value of each of the reporting units with goodwill by discounting the estimated cash flows of each reporting unit. The estimated fair values of the reporting units were then compared to their net carrying values as of March 31, 2020 and, as a result, the Company recognized $27.1 million impairment of goodwill, which represented the carrying amount of goodwill prior to the impairment charge. The impairment charge is presented in Goodwill and other impairment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill are as follows:

6. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
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 or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
Our financial instruments consisted of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, pension assets and 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.
Recurring Measurements
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. To manage our risk for transactions denominated in Mexican Pesos and in Ukrainian Hryvnia, we have entered into forward exchange contracts that are designated as cash flow hedge instruments, which are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The gains and losses as a result of the changes in fair value of the hedge contract for transactions denominated in Mexican Pesos are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in cost of revenues in the period the related hedge transactions are settled. As of June 30, 2021, the hedge contract for transactions denominated in Ukrainian Hryvnia was not designated as a hedging instrument; therefore, it is marked-to-market and the fair value of the agreement is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with the offsetting gains and losses recognized in other (income) expense and recognized in cost of revenues in the period the related hedge transactions are settled in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Interest Rate Swaps. To manage our exposure to variable interest rates, we have entered into interest rate swaps 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 swaps are intended to mitigate the impact of rising interest rates on the Company and covers $80 million of outstanding debt under the Term Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2021, the interest rate swaps were not designated as hedging instrument, therefore, are marked-to-market and the fair value of the agreement recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with the offsetting gain or loss recorded in interest and other expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Contingent Consideration. As a result of the acquisition of the First Source Electronics, LLC (“FSE”) on September 17, 2019, the Company agreed to pay up to $10.8 million in contingent milestone payments (“Contingent Consideration”). The Contingent Consideration is 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. As of June 30, 2021 the remaining undiscounted Contingent Consideration payment is estimated at $4.8 million and the fair value is $4.2 million, which is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in other long term liabilities. A payment of $5.0 million was made during the second quarter of 2021 based on achievement of the second EBITDA threshold.

8. Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 we recorded a $1.5 million and $4.1 million tax provision, respectively, or 23% effective tax rate for each period, compared to a $3.1 million and $10.4 million tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate in the current three and six month period is higher than the U.S. federal income tax rate primarily as a result of U.S. state and non-U.S. income taxes. The Company’s prior year tax benefit was primarily a result of pre-tax net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, cash paid for taxes, net of refunds received were $1.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

10. Performance Awards
In 2020, the Company made awards, defined as cash, shares or other awards, to employees under the Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 EIP”) and the Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 EIP”). Effective June 15, 2020, as part of the Company’s stockholders’ approval of the 2020 EIP, the Company agreed that no more awards will be made under the 2014 Plan.
Restricted Cash Awards – Restricted cash is a grant that is earned and payable in cash based upon the Company’s relative total shareholder return in terms of ranking as compared to the peer group generally ranging from a one to three-year period.
Performance Stock Awards Settled in Cash – Performance-based stock award is a grant that is earned and payable in cash. The total amount payable as of the award's vesting date is determined based upon number of shares allocated to each participant, which can fluctuate depending on the Company’s relative total shareholder return in terms of ranking as compared to the peer group over the performance period, and the share price of the Company's stock.
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. Performance targets are based on relative total shareholder return in terms of ranking as compared to the peer group over the performance period.
These awards are 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 equity incentive plans:

Unrecognized compensation expense was $2.8 million as of June 30, 2021.
11. Share-Based Compensation
The Company's outstanding share-based compensation is comprised of restricted and performance-stock awards.
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. Time-based restricted stock awards generally vest over the three-year period following the date of grant, unless forfeited, and will be paid out in the form of stock at the end of the vesting period.
Performance Stock Awards – Performance-based stock awards have similar restrictions as restricted stock. They vest over the specified period following the date of grant, unless forfeited, and will be paid out in the form of stock at the end of the vesting period at the Company’s discretion if the Company meets the performance targets set at the time the award was granted. Performance targets are based on relative total shareholder return in terms of ranking as compared to the peer group over the performance period.
As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $7.1 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 restricted period for each grant.
A summary of the status of our share-based compensation awards as of June 30, 2021 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2021, are presented below:

Shareholder Rights Plan
On June 23, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a limited duration rights plan and declared a dividend distribution of one right (each, a “Right” and together with all other such rights distributed or issued pursuant thereto, the “Rights”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01, of the Company, as of July 5, 2020, the record date for such dividend. Each holder of common stock as of the record date received a dividend of one Right per share of common stock.
On April 15, 2021, the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (“Rights Agent”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2020, by and between the Company and Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Final Expiration Date of the Rights (each as defined in the Rights Agreement) was advanced from June 24, 2021 to April 15, 2021. As a result of the Amendment, the Rights are no longer outstanding.

14. 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. Furthermore, in 2020 the Company began implementing additional cost reduction initiatives and further manufacturing capacity rationalization initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic ("2020 Initiatives"). The Restructuring Initiatives and 2020 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, and expansion of production footprint to manufacture warehouse automation subsystems.
The changes in accrued restructuring balances are as follows:

Of the $3.1 million costs incurred, $2.1 million was recorded in cost of revenues and $1.0 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases - As disclosed in Note 7, Leases, 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 June 30, 2021, 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 June 30, 2021, we had no such guarantees.
Litigation - We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to product liability claims, customer and supplier disputes, service provider disputes, examinations by taxing authorities, employment disputes, workers' compensation claims, unfair labor practice charges, OSHA investigations, intellectual property disputes and environmental claims arising out of the conduct of our businesses.
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 of June 30, 2021, are included within accrued liabilities and other in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following presents a summary of the warranty provision for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

16. Segment Reporting
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 designs, manufactures and sells the following products:
•Electrical systems, electrical wire harnesses, electro-mechanical assemblies for warehouses, electro-mechanical cable assemblies for the construction, agricultural, industrial, automotive, truck, mining, rail and military industries in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. This segment includes a portion of the company’s activities in the emerging electric vehicle market;
•Plastic components ("Trim") primarily for the North America commercial vehicle market and recreational vehicle markets;
•Warehouse automation subsystems primarily for the North American e-commerce markets and include electro-mechanical assemblies and panels;
•Commercial vehicle accessories including wipers, mirrors, floormats and sensors; and
•Cab structures for the North American MD/HD truck market.
The Global Seating segment designs, manufactures and sells the following products:
•Commercial vehicle seats for the global commercial vehicle markets including heavy duty trucks, medium duty trucks, last mile trucks, construction equipment, material handling equipment and agriculture equipment in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. This segment includes a portion of the company’s activities in the emerging electric vehicle market;
•Office seats primarily in Europe and Asia-Pacific; and
•Aftermarket seats and components in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Corporate expenses consist of certain 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 that are for the benefit of the operations 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 results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion and analysis below describes material changes in financial condition and results of operations as reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2020 Form 10-K.
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.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
The table below sets forth certain consolidated operating data for the three months ended June 30 (dollars are in thousands):
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.

Note, overall fluctuations in results from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to six 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 $74.3 million, or 70.0%, increase in OEM North American MD/HD Truck revenues;
•a $75.4 million, or 401.1%, increase in warehouse automation revenues;
•a $29.0 million, or 51.1%, increase in OEM construction equipment revenues;
•a $5.2 million, or 10.3%, increase in aftermarket and OES revenues; and
•a $5.2 million, or 10.4% increase in other revenues.
Six months ended 2021 revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $10.7 million, which is reflected in the change in revenues above.
Gross Profit. The $38.7 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 $150.4 million, or 52.3%, as a result of an increase in raw material and purchased component costs of $116.8 million, or 65.8%, and an increase in labor and overhead expenses of $33.6 million, or 30.5%. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 13.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 8.5% for the six 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 decreased $1.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the decrease in non-recurring payments relating to CEO transition and investigation expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $4.7 million, a $3.1 million decrease in charge for Contingent Consideration, and a $1.0 million decrease in charges associated with ongoing Restructuring Initiatives. The decrease was offset by an increase in wages and benefits that were reduced in 2020 due to the temporary actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
Net Income (loss). Net income was $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $37.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income is attributable to the factors noted above.

Revenues. The increase in Global Seating Segment revenues resulted from:
•a $13.9 million, or 31.4%, increase in OEM North American MD/HD Truck revenues;
•a $16.5 million, or 56.3%, increase in OEM construction equipment revenues;
•a $0.5 million, or 1.6%, decrease in aftermarket and OES sales; and

Global Seating Segment revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $7.0 million, which is reflected in the change in revenues above.
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 Committee 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.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see the discussion under "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2020 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
We evaluated, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of error or mistake. Controls also can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
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 taxing authorities. 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, 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.
ITEM 1A Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the information in this Form 10-Q, the risk factors discussed in "Risk Factors" and other risks discussed in our 2020 Form 10-K and our filings with the SEC since December 31, 2020. These risks could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. Our business also could be affected by risks that we are not presently aware of or that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.
