Stoneridge reported third-quarter 2026 GAAP net sales of $155.8 million, up from $138.6 million a year earlier, but a $24.2 million arbitration award recorded as a reduction to sales pushed its net loss from continuing operations to $22.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, versus a $8.9 million loss, or $0.32 per share, a year earlier. The company raised its 2026 adjusted revenue guidance to $690 million to $700 million while expecting adjusted EBITDA at the bottom of its prior $20 million to $25 million range.
Q3 2026 GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $22.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared with $8.9 million, or $0.32 per share, in Q3 2025.
The $24.2 million pre-tax charge stems from an adverse ruling received on November 2, 2026 in an arbitration over legacy PM sensor warranty claims; the company disagrees with the ruling and is evaluating its options.
Adjusted 2026 revenue guidance was raised to $690 million to $700 million from $645 million to $670 million; adjusted EBITDA guidance of $20 million to $25 million is now expected at the bottom end.
