NEW ALBANY, Ohio, July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. , today reported revenues of $196.1 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, up 107% compared to $94.5 million in the prior-year period. Operating income for the second quarter was $25.8 million, a significant increase over $(0.2) million reported for the same period last year. Net income for the quarter was $14.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to $(0.9) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, in the prior- year quarter. Results for second quarter 2004 include the effects of a $10.1 million non-cash option issuance charge. As a result of the company's August 2004 initial public offering, fully diluted shares outstanding for the quarter were 18.3 million compared to 13.9 million in the prior-year quarter.
Results for the second quarter included the effects of the company's acquisition of Mayflower Vehicle Systems' North American Commercial Vehicle Operations and the effects of the company's acquisition of Monona Wire Corporation from June 3, 2005 forward. Results for the second quarter also included the mark-to-market of CVG's foreign exchange contracts, which positively impacted the quarter on a pre-tax basis by $0.4 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior-year quarter.
"We are extremely pleased with our second quarter results, which included the acquisition of Monona Wire Corporation and certainly look forward to having this company as part of our on-going team," said Mervin Dunn, president and chief executive officer of Commercial Vehicle Group. "Our primary markets remain strong and we will continue to capitalize on these favorable trends. Despite the impact of steel and petroleum-related raw material costs and additional costs related to certain long-term growth projects, we were able to exceed our earnings estimates while maintaining our focus on our growth strategy."
Revenues for the quarter compared to the prior-year period increased by $101.6 million, due primarily to the acquisitions of Mayflower and MWC, a 43% increase in North American OEM truck production volumes over the prior-year quarter and higher OEM sales in the European and Asian seating markets. Steel and petroleum prices had a negative impact of approximately $1.5 million during the quarter; however the company increased earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from $12.0 million in the prior- year quarter, excluding the impact of the $10.1 million non-cash option issuance charge, to $29.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. CVG's net debt position at the end of the quarter was approximately $202 million.
The Company reported revenues of $348.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, up 93% compared to $180.5 million in the prior-year period. Operating income for the six-month period was $42.5 million compared to $7.8 million last year. Net income for the six month period was $25.1 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the prior six month period. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 include the effects of a $10.1 million non-cash option issuance charge.
