COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP ANNOUNCES

THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

NEW ALBANY, OHIO, October 31, 2012 – Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVGI) today reported revenues of $204.8 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of approximately 5.6% compared to $216.9 million for the prior-year period. Operating income for the third quarter of 2012 was $8.9 million compared to $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net income was $30.5 million for the third quarter, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Included in the third quarter of 2012 results is an income tax benefit of approximately $27.0 million primarily related to the release of the Company’s domestic deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

“The decline in our revenues for this quarter compared to the run rates we experienced in the first half of the year is evidence of the softening we had earlier predicted in some of our key end markets,” said Mervin Dunn, President and CEO of Commercial Vehicle Group. “Despite some anticipated near-term softness, we still believe our Company is well positioned and our strategy is sound for the long-term. We will continue to stay focused on our strategic growth initiatives as we do not expect near-term fluctuating market conditions to prohibit CVG from achieving our longer-term strategic objectives,” added Mr. Dunn.

The Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under its asset-based revolver at September 30, 2012 and, as a result, was not subject to any financial maintenance covenants. In addition, the Company had approximately $99.5 million of cash on its balance sheet at September 30, 2012 with an additional $37.0 million of availability under its asset-based revolver for total liquidity availability of approximately $136.5 million.

“With the recent trends of market softening, we will be focused on utilizing our variable cost structure and adjusting our operations and cost structure accordingly without compromising the foundation we’ve established for achieving our long term growth objectives,” said Chad Utrup, Chief Financial Officer of Commercial Vehicle Group. “We did record a large tax benefit during the quarter related to the reversal of certain domestic deferred tax valuation allowances. As we’ve indicated in the past, the valuation allowances may be adjusted accordingly from time to time as our deferred tax assets are deemed usable in the future. We do have additional valuation allowances in foreign jurisdictions which we will continue to evaluate as we move forward,” added Mr. Utrup.
