Stoneridge generates revenue by supplying these custom-engineered products and systems to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and select non-vehicle OEMs, as well as certain automotive and commercial vehicle Tier 1 suppliers. The company's products are used to activate equipment and accessories, monitor and display vehicle performance and control, distribute electrical power and signals, and provide vehicle safety, security, and convenience. Stoneridge's revenue streams are diversified across several end markets, including commercial vehicles, automotive, off-highway and other, and aftermarket distributors and monitoring services.

• Control Devices: This segment, which was sold in January 2026, designed and manufactured products that monitor, measure, or activate specific functions within a vehicle. Key product lines included actuators, sensors, switches, and connectors. Actuator products enabled OEMs to deploy power functions in a vehicle, while sensor products were employed in major vehicle systems such as emissions, safety, powertrain, braking, climate control, steering, and suspension. Switches and connectors transmitted signals that activated specific functions, catering primarily to the automotive market, with some products also sold to the commercial vehicle and agricultural markets.

• Electronics: The Electronics segment designs and manufactures advanced driver information solutions, vision systems, connectivity and compliance solutions, and control modules. Vision systems, including the MirrorEye product, provide enhanced vehicle visibility and safety benefits such as elimination of blind spots, expanded field of view, and improved nighttime visibility. Advanced driver information solutions and connectivity and compliance products collect, store, and display vehicle information. These products are sold principally to the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets through both the OEM and aftermarket channels.

• Stoneridge Brazil: This segment serves the South American market, designing and manufacturing vehicle tracking devices, monitoring services, driver information systems, vehicle security alarms, convenience accessories, telematics solutions, and multimedia devices. Key product lines include vehicle monitoring and tracking devices, driver information systems, security alarms, convenience applications such as parking sensors and rearview cameras, telematics solutions for fleet management, infotainment, and multimedia devices. These products improve the performance, safety, and convenience features of customers' vehicles and are sold through the aftermarket distribution channel, direct to OEMs, and to factory authorized dealer installers.

Stoneridge operates in a highly competitive industry, competing based on technological innovation, price, quality, performance, service, and delivery. The company's diversity in products creates a wide range of competitors, which vary depending on both market and geographic location. Stoneridge's competitive advantages include strong customer relations and a fast and flexible organization that develops technically effective solutions at a competitive price. The company's strategic investments, such as the acquisition of Orlaco and the additional ownership of Stoneridge Brazil, have further aligned its portfolio with industry megatrends and enhanced its competitive position.

Stoneridge's customer base includes numerous OEM and Tier 1 customers, as well as aftermarket distributors. The company supplies multiple parts to many of its principal customers under requirements contracts for specific vehicle models. These contracts range in duration from one year to the production life of the model, which commonly extends for three to seven years. The loss of any significant portion of sales to these customers or the loss of a significant customer could have a material adverse impact on Stoneridge's financial condition and results of operations. The company's products are used on many different vehicle platforms, and it competes to supply products for successor models, subject to the risk that the customer may not select Stoneridge to produce products on any such model.
