Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1)Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to their 2025 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2)Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, companies are required to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be adopted on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. This ASU will modify the Company's financial statement disclosures, but will

not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” which requires companies to disclose certain costs and expenses within the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our annual consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets," which allows entities to use a simplified approach when estimating credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from revenue transactions. The standard update permits consideration of collections after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses, and allows consideration of subsequent collections when estimating credit losses, reducing documentation burden. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact on our annual consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software," which modernizes guidance on internal-use software costs to reflect current development practices and improve operability. The standard eliminates the project stages model and replaces with a principles based recognition threshold. The standard also creates a new capitalization criteria that clarifies capitalization when funding is authorized by management and is probable to be completed and used. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact on our annual consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

(3)Revenue

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our products and services, which is usually when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer’s premises. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The transaction price will include estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Incidental items that are not significant in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. Customer returns only occur if products do not meet the specifications of the contract and are not connected to any repurchase obligations of the Company.

The Company does not have any financing components or significant payment terms as payment occurs shortly after the point of sale. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product is transferred to the customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales.

Revenue by Reportable Segment

Control Devices. Our Control Devices segment designs and manufactures products that monitor, measure or activate specific functions within a vehicle. This segment includes product lines such as actuators, sensors, switches and connectors. We sell these products principally to the automotive market in the North American and Asia Pacific regions. To a lesser extent, we also sell these products to the commercial vehicle and agricultural markets in the North American and Asia Pacific regions. Our customers included in these markets primarily consist of original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and companies supplying components directly to the OEMs (“Tier 1 supplier”).

Electronics. Our Electronics segment designs and manufactures advanced driver information solutions, vision systems, connectivity and compliance solutions and control modules. These products are sold principally to the commercial and off-highway vehicle markets primarily through our OEM and aftermarket channels in the European, North American and Asia Pacific regions. Our vision and safety systems are sold principally to the commercial vehicle and off-highway vehicle markets in the European and North American regions.

Stoneridge Brazil. Our Stoneridge Brazil segment primarily serves the South American region and specializes in the design, manufacture and sale of vehicle tracking devices and monitoring services, driver information systems, vehicle security alarms and convenience accessories, telematics solutions and multimedia devices. Stoneridge Brazil sells its products through the aftermarket distribution channel, to factory authorized dealer installers, also referred to as original equipment services and directly to OEMs. In addition, monitoring services and tracking devices are sold directly to corporate customers and individual consumers.

Performance Obligations

For OEM and Tier 1 supplier customers, the Company typically enters into contracts to provide serial production parts that consist of a set of documents including, but not limited to, an award letter, master purchase agreement and master terms and conditions. For each production product, the Company enters into separate purchase orders that contain the product specifications and an agreed-upon price. The performance obligation does not exist until a customer release is received for a specific number of parts. The majority of the parts sold to OEM and Tier 1 supplier customers are customized to the specific customer, with the exception of camera monitoring systems (“CMS”) sold through our aftermarket channel that are mostly common across all customers. The transaction price is equal to the contracted price per part and there is no expectation of material variable consideration in the transaction price. For most customer contracts, the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment at any time prior to when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer; therefore, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a part to the customer. Certain customer contracts contain an enforceable right to payment if the customer terminates the contract for convenience and therefore are recognized over time using the cost to complete input method.

Our aftermarket products, including accessories and replacement parts, are focused on meeting the demand for safety, compliance and entertainment applications and are sold primarily to aftermarket distributors in our South American and European markets, as well as direct to aftermarket customers in North America. Aftermarket products have one type of performance obligation, which is the delivery of aftermarket parts and spare parts. For aftermarket customers, the Company typically has standard terms and conditions for all customers. In addition, aftermarket products have alternative use as they can be sold to multiple customers. Revenue for aftermarket part production contracts is recognized at a point in time when the control of the parts transfers to the customer, which is based on the shipping terms. Aftermarket contracts may include variable consideration related to discounts and rebates, which is included in the transaction price upon recognizing the product revenue.

A small portion of the Company’s sales are comprised of monitoring services that include both monitoring devices and fees to individual, corporate, fleet and cargo customers in our Stoneridge Brazil segment. These monitoring service contracts are generally not capable of being distinct and are accounted for as a single performance obligation. We recognize revenue for our monitoring products and services contracts over the life of the contract. There is no variable consideration associated with these contracts. The Company has the right to consideration from a customer in the amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue over time using the practical expedient ASC 606-10-55-18 in the amount the Company has a “right to invoice” rather than selecting an output or input method.

Contract Balances

The Company had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or capitalized contract acquisition costs as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(4)Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (using either the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods) or net realizable value. The Company evaluates and adjusts as necessary its excess and obsolescence reserve on a quarterly basis. Excess inventories are quantities of items that exceed anticipated sales or usage for a reasonable period. The Company has guidelines for calculating provisions for excess inventories based on the number of months of inventories on hand compared to anticipated sales or usage. Management uses its judgment to forecast sales or usage and to determine what constitutes a reasonable period. Inventory cost includes material, labor and overhead. Inventories consist of the following:

September 30,2025December 31,2024
Raw materials$102,649$108,283
Work-in-progress8,5487,627
Finished goods34,25235,427
Total inventories, net$145,449$151,337

Inventory valued using the FIFO method was$129,856 and $138,420 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Inventory valued using the average cost method was$15,593 and $12,917 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(5)Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is cash or a contract that imposes an obligation to deliver or conveys a right to receive cash or another financial instrument. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of debt approximates the carrying value of debt, due to the variable interest rate on our Credit Facility and the maturity of outstanding debt.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

On September 30, 2025, the Company had open Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency forward contracts. The Company used foreign currency forward contracts solely for hedging and not for speculative purposes during 2025 and 2024. Management believes that its use of these instruments to reduce risk is in the Company’s best interest. The counterparties to these financial instruments are financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency transactions are remeasured into the functional currency using translation rates in effect at the time of the transaction with the resulting adjustments included on the condensed consolidated statements of operations within other expense (income), net. These foreign currency transaction losses (gains), including the impact of hedging activities, were$2,405 and $(320) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and$5,368 and $(646) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company conducts business internationally and, therefore, is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by reducing the effect of such fluctuations on foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, inventory purchases and other foreign currency exposures.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the Mexican peso currency in 2025 and 2024. These forward contracts were executed to hedge forecasted transactions and have been accounted for as cash flow hedges. As such, gains and losses on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent that hedges are effective, until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. Unrealized amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of hedge derivative contracts at each reporting period. The cash flow hedges were highly effective. The effectiveness of the transactions was measured using regression analysis and forecasted future purchases of the currency.

In certain instances, the foreign currency forward contracts may not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedges and, therefore, are marked-to-market with gains and losses recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of other expense (income), net. At September 30, 2025, all of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts offset a portion of the gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency denominated transactions as follows:

Mexican peso-denominated Foreign Currency Forward Contracts – Cash Flow Hedges

The Company holds Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount at September 30, 2025 of$6,418, which expire ratably on a monthly basis from October 2025 to December 2025. The notional amounts at December 31, 2024 related to Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency forward contracts were $32,339.

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the Mexican peso denominated forward contracts held as of September 30, 2025 and concluded that the hedges were highly effective.

Gains reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into net loss recognized in COGS in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations were $231 and $524 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cash flows from derivatives used to manage foreign currency exchange risks are classified as operating activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities held by the Company are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs used. Fair values estimated using Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Fair values estimated using Level 2 inputs, other than quoted prices, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and include among other things, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active or inactive as well as inputs other than quoted prices that are observable. For forward currency and cross-currency contracts, inputs include forward foreign currency exchange rates. Fair values estimated using Level 3 inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs used.

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a $275,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and it replaced and superseded the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature, which allows the Company to increase the availability by up to $150,000 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the consent of lenders providing the increase in commitments, and also includes a letter of credit subfacility, swing line subfacility and multicurrency subfacility. The Credit Facility has a termination date of November 2, 2026. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either the Base Rate or the SOFR rate, at the Company’s option, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain less than a maximum leverage ratio and more than a minimum interest coverage ratio.

The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants and representations. The Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants, which, among other things, are subject to certain exceptions, including restrictions on (i) indebtedness, (ii) liens, (iii) liquidations, mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, (iv) disposition of assets or subsidiaries, (v) affiliate transactions, (vi) continuation of or change in business, (vii) restricted payments, (viii) restrictions in agreements on dividends, intercompany loans and granting liens on the collateral, (ix) loans and investments and (x) changes in organizational documents and fiscal year. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default, subject to customary thresholds and exceptions, including, among other things, (i) non-payment of principal and non-payment of interest and fees, (ii) a material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty at the time made, (iii) a failure to comply with any covenant, subject to customary grace periods in the case of certain affirmative covenants, (iv) cross default of other debt, final judgments and other adverse orders in excess of $30,000, (v) any loan document shall cease to be a legal, valid and binding agreement, (vi) certain uninsured losses or proceedings against assets with a value in excess of $30,000, (vii) ERISA events, (viii) a change of control, or (ix) bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Waiver (“Amendment No. 1”). Amendment No. 1 provides for certain covenant relief and restrictions during the “Covenant Relief Period” (the period ending on the date that the Company delivers a compliance certificate for the quarter ending December 31, 2025). During the Covenant Relief Period:

the maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 was increased to 6.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025,5.50 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025,4.50 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and 3.50 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025;

the minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.50 was waived for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and was reduced to 2.00 for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2025, and 2.50 and 3.50 for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, respectively;

the Company’s aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents, defined as 100% of North American and 65% of foreign cash balances, cannot exceed $70,000;

the sale of significant assets (as defined) will require repayment in the amount of any net cash proceeds received and result in the reduction of the Credit Facility commitment, at the lesser of $100,000 or the net cash proceeds;

there were certain restrictions on Restricted Payments (as defined); and

a Permitted Acquisition (as defined) could not be consummated unless otherwise approved in writing by the required lenders.

Amendment No. 1 added an additional level to the leverage ratio based pricing grid, through maturity, when the leverage ratio is greater than 3.50.

On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Consent Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”). Amendment No. 2 amends the Credit Facility and provides for certain covenant relief and restrictions through the Credit Facility's termination date of November 2, 2026. Amendment No. 2 supersedes certain terms of the Credit Facility and Amendment No. 1 beginning November 5, 2025 and ending at the Credit Facility's termination date of November 2, 2026. Amendment No. 2 amends certain Credit Facility terms and provides covenant relief as follows:

borrowing capacity is reduced from $275,000 to $225,000;

the sale of the Control Devices business (as defined) is a permitted transaction and upon notice will result in the reduction of the Credit Facility commitment, at the lesser of $50,000 or the net cash proceeds of this transaction;

the current minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5 was extended through the quarter ending March 31, 2026 and increased to 3.5 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and thereafter;

if the Control Devices business sale is consummated, the minimum interest coverage ratio will increase to 3.5 as of the last day of the first full quarter ending after the sale and thereafter; and

the maximum leverage ratio of 4.5 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and 3.5 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and thereafter remains unchanged.

Our Credit Facility matures on November 2, 2026, which is within twelve months of the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and will become current in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company expects to refinance its Credit Facility. While there can be no assurance that the Company will refinance the current Credit Facility, the Company anticipates that the refinancing will occur prior to the issuance of the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to refinance its Credit Facility.

As a result of entering into Amendment No.1, the Company capitalized $561 of deferred financing costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility were $170,194 and $201,577 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all Credit Facility covenants at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company also has outstanding letters of credit of$1,506 at September 30, 2025 and$1,571 at December 31, 2024.

Debt

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Stockholm, Sweden (the “Stockholm subsidiary”), has an overdraft credit line that allows overdrafts on the subsidiary’s bank account up to a daily maximum level of 20,000 Swedish krona, or$2,127 and $1,809, at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025 there was 8,909 Swedish krona, or $947 outstanding on this overdraft credit line. At December 31, 2024, there wereno borrowings outstanding on this overdraft credit line. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the subsidiary borrowed 153,773 Swedish krona, or$16,352, and repaid 144,864 Swedish krona, or $15,405. The Stockholm subsidiary has pledged certain of its assets as collateral in order to obtain a guarantee of certain of the Stockholm subsidiary’s obligations to third parties.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Suzhou, China (the “Suzhou subsidiary”), has lines of credit (the “Suzhou credit lines”) that allow up to a maximum borrowing level of 50,000 Chinese yuan, or$7,023 at September 30, 2025 and 20,000 Chinese yuan, or $2,740 at December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 there were $0 in borrowings outstanding on the Suzhou credit lines. In addition, the Suzhou subsidiary has a bank acceptance draft line of credit which facilitates the extension of trade payable payment terms by 180 days. The bank acceptance draft line of credit allows up to a maximum borrowing level of 30,000 Chinese yuan, or$4,214 at September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025 there were $0 in borrowings outstanding on the bank acceptance draft line of credit.

(8)Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for each respective period. Diluted loss per share was calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive Common Shares that were outstanding during the periods presented. However, for all periods in which the Company recognized a net loss, the Company did not recognize the effect of the potential dilutive securities as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potential dilutive shares of 436,454 and 237,870 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Potential dilutive shares of 253,061 and 244,471 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Weighted-average Common Shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

(10)Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of breach of contracts, product warranties, product liability, patent infringement, regulatory matters and employment-related matters. The Company establishes accruals for matters which it believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

As a result of environmental studies performed at the Company’s former facility located in Sarasota, Florida, the Company became aware of soil and groundwater contamination at the site. The Company engaged an environmental engineering consultant to assess the level of contamination and to develop a remediation and monitoring plan for the site. Soil remediation at the site was completed during the year ended December 31, 2010. A remedial action plan was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and groundwater remediation began in the fourth quarter of 2015.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company didnot recognize any expense related to groundwater remediation. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had accrued liabilities of$213 and $244, respectively, related to expected future remediation costs. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,$113 and $144, respectively, were recorded as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets while the remaining amounts as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities. Costs associated with the recorded liability will be incurred to complete the groundwater remediation and monitoring. The recorded liability is based on assumptions in the remedial action plan as well as estimates for future remediation activities. Although the Company sold the Sarasota facility and related property in December 2011, the liability to remediate the site contamination remains the responsibility of the Company. Due to the ongoing site remediation, the Company is currently required to maintain a $1,489 letter of credit for the benefit of the buyer.

The Company’s Stoneridge Brazil subsidiary has civil, labor, environmental and other tax contingencies (excluding income tax) for which the likelihood of loss is deemed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, by the Company’s legal advisors in Brazil. As a result, no provision has been recorded with respect to these contingencies, which amounted to R$48,378 ($9,097)and R$42,834 ($6,918) at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. An unfavorable outcome on these contingencies could result in significant cost to the Company and adversely affect its results of operations and cash flows.

On August 12, 2020, the Brazilian Administrative Counsel for Economic Defense (“CADE”) issued a ruling against Stoneridge Brazil for abuse of dominance and market foreclosure through its prior use of exclusivity provisions in agreements with its distributors. The CADE tribunal imposed a R$7,995 ($1,503) fine which is included in the reasonably possible contingencies noted above. The Company continues to challenge this ruling in Brazilian federal court to reverse this decision by the CADE tribunal.

Long Term Supply Commitment

In 2022, the Company entered into a long term supply agreement, as amended, with a supplier for the purchase of certain electronic semiconductor components through December 31, 2030. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid capacity deposits of $1,000 each in December 2022 and June 2023. The capacity deposits are recognized in prepaid and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized ratably based on purchases over the life of the purchase commitment. This long term supply agreement requires the Company to purchase minimum annual volumes while requiring the supplier to sell these components at a fixed price. The Company purchased$114 and $1,840 of these components during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and$114 and $2,662 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company is required to purchase $5,571, $6,314, $7,463, $8,313, $841 and $1,492 of these components in each of the years 2025 through 2030, respectively. We evaluate our long-term supply agreement on a continuous basis in the context of customer demand and overall market dynamics. Part of that evaluation process has resulted in re-negotiating minimum annual volumes in the past. Should customer demand and market dynamics require us to re-evaluate our long-term supply commitments, we intend to engage with the supplier to negotiate an amendment to the long term supply agreement and amend the supply commitments to align with current market conditions.

Product Warranty and Recall

Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on products sold as of the balance sheet dates. These accruals are based on several factors including past experience, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations. Our estimate is based on historical trends of units sold and claim payment amounts, combined with our current understanding of the status of existing claims, forecasts of the resolution of existing claims, expected future claims on products sold and commercial discussions with our customers. The key factors in our estimate are the warranty period and the customer source. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued. The current portion of the product warranty and recall reserve is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Product warranty and recall reserve included$13,885 and $10,675 of a long-term liability at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is included as a component of other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In 2023, the Company received a demand for arbitration from one of our customers seeking recovery for warranty claims related to past sales of PM sensor products, a Control Devices product line we exited in 2019. In March 2024, pursuant to the arbitration process, the customer submitted a formal statement of claim notification for 29,340 euro ($34,425). In May 2024, the Company responded with a formal statement of defense denying responsibility for the claim. Based on our review of the technical and legal merits, we believe these warranty claims lack substantive merit and are significantly overstated. The Company continues to vigorously defend this matter in private arbitration. While no assurances can be made as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, or any other future claims, we do not currently believe a material loss is probable.

The following provides a reconciliation of changes in product warranty and recall reserve liability:

(11)Business Realignment

The Company regularly evaluates the performance of its businesses and cost structures, including personnel, and makes necessary changes thereto in order to optimize its results. The Company also evaluates the required skill sets of its personnel and periodically makes strategic changes. As a consequence of these actions, the Company incurs severance related costs that are referred to as business realignment charges. The Company does not expect significant charges in the future related to the previously incurred termination actions noted below.

(12)Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a benefit cannot be realized are excluded.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, income tax benefit of $343 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and tax credits and incentives offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate of 3.5% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to tax credits and incentives offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, income tax expense of $3,413 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate of (93.3)% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, income tax expense of $1,465 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and tax credits and incentives offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate of (6.0)% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to tax credits and incentives offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, income tax expense of $2,987 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate of (40.2)% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the U.S. The Act includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying various provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and expanding certain incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act while accelerating the phase-out of other incentives. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other provisions effective in 2026 and subsequent years. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the Act on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect the Act to have a material impact on 2025 and does not anticipate a material impact in 2026, based on the guidance issued to date.

(13)Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.

The Company hasthree reportable segments, Control Devices, Electronics and Stoneridge Brazil, which also represent its operating segments. The Control Devices reportable segment produces actuators, sensors, switches and connectors. The Electronics reportable segment produces advanced driver information solutions, vision systems, connectivity and compliance solutions and control modules. The Stoneridge Brazil reportable segment designs and manufactures vehicle tracking devices and monitoring services, driver information systems, vehicle security alarms and convenience accessories telematics solutions and multimedia devices.

The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. The Company’s management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based primarily on revenues from external customers, operating income and capital expenditures. Inter-segment sales are accounted for on terms similar to those to third parties and are eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company's management, including the CODM, utilizes operating income as the key performance measure of segment profitability to evaluate segment performance, and for planning and forecasting purposes to allocate resources to the segments, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the financial performance of the Company's operating segments. The CODM regularly evaluates budget-to-actual and period-over-period variances for this metric when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses operating income in evaluating the operating performance of each segment and as part of determining the compensation of the segment managers and certain other employees. COGS and D&D are the significant expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM. Other segment costs primarily include SG&A items.

The financial information presented below is for ourthree reportable operating segments and includes adjustments for unallocated corporate costs and intercompany eliminations, where applicable. Such costs and eliminations do not meet the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Unallocated Corporate costs include various support functions, such as accounting/finance, executive administration, human resources, information technology and legal as well as share-based compensation.

A summary of financial information by reportable segment is as follows:
