COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

NEW ALBANY, OHIO, April 23, 2008 — Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVGI) today reported revenues of $197.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to revenues of $198.8 million for the first quarter of 2007. Operating income for the first quarter was $11.5 million, including a $6.1 million gain on the sale of the Company’s Seattle, Washington facility, compared to $10.6 million for the same period last year. Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Fully diluted shares outstanding for the quarter were approximately 21.6 million compared to 21.7 million in the prior-year quarter.

“Our first quarter 2008 operating results were better than our expectations due to a slightly higher truck build rate as well as strength in our construction, military and specialty markets,” said Mervin Dunn, president and chief executive officer. “While we remain cautious about the rebound of the North American Class 8 market this year, our focus on the development of other key markets is proving positive for us and will remain an integral part of our strategy as we continue forward,” added Dunn.

Included in the Company’s results for the first quarter of 2008 is a pre-tax non-cash expense of approximately $9.7 million from the marking to market of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, as well as a pre-tax cash-based gain of approximately $6.1 million from the sale of the Company’s Seattle facility.

The Company is increasing its previously disclosed 2008 full year estimates for revenues by approximately $12.0 million to a range of $774.0 to $826.0 million and projected operating income is increasing by approximately $9.5 million to a range of $26.5 to $39.5 million. The Company is maintaining its previously stated fully diluted earnings per share range for the year of $0.10 to $0.50, based on 21.7 million diluted shares. These estimates are based on North American Class 8 truck production levels in the range of 180 thousand to 220 thousand units, an increase of 5 thousand units over previous estimates.

“We have increased our revenue and operating income estimates as a result of our revised end market and operational expectations for the full year, in addition to the non-operating events from the first quarter,” said Chad M. Utrup, chief financial officer of Commercial Vehicle Group. “Overall, our full year estimates for operating income were increased by about $9.5 million for the year, which is comprised of approximately $3.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for our revised market and performance outlook and approximately $6.1 million, or $0.18, from the sale of our Seattle facility this quarter. These positive adjustments were then offset by the $9.7 million, or $0.29, mark to market expense from the first quarter,” added Utrup.

Footnotes to Press Release

⁽¹⁾ Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the accompanying financial tables. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt, gain/losses on the sale of long-lived assets, miscellaneous income/expenses, restructuring charges and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes the effects of gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt, gains/losses on the sale of long-lived assets, miscellaneous income/expenses, restructuring charges and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles because the Company’s management believes that some of these items may not occur in certain periods, the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period and these items do not facilitate an understanding of the Company’s operating performance. The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the supplemental information, as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures, such as net income and gross margin calculated in conformity with GAAP.

The Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the supplemental information, as an integral part of its report and planning processes and as one of the primary measures to, among other things:

(i)	monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company’s business operations;
(ii)	facilitate management’s internal comparisons of the Company’s historical operating performance of its business operations;
(iii)	facilitate management’s external comparisons of the results of its overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels;
(iv)	review and assess the operating performance of the Company’s management team and as a measure in evaluating employee compensation and bonuses;
(v)	analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and
(vi)	plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments.

The Company’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the supplemental information, is useful to investors as it provides them with disclosures of the Company’s operating results on the same basis as that used by the Company’s management. Additionally, the Company’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the supplemental information, provides useful information to investors about the performance of the Company’s overall business because the measure eliminates the effects of certain recurring and other unusual or infrequent charges that are not directly attributable to the Company’s underlying operating performance. Additionally, the Company’s management believes that because it has historically provided a non-GAAP financial measure in previous filings, that continuing to include a non-GAAP measure in its filings provides consistency in its financial reporting and continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Accordingly, the Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when used in conjunction with the supplemental information and GAAP financial measures, is a useful financial analysis tool, used by the Company’s management as described above, that can assist investors in assessing the Company’s financial condition, operating performance and underlying strength. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income prepared in conformity with GAAP. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the other information in this filing, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and footnotes contained in the documents that the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
