Matthew Horvath: Turning to slide 14, we are updating our full year 2024 guidance to reflect updated foreign currency rates, updated OEM production volumes, and current expectations for non-OEM and customer demand-based products, including aftermarket and option-selectable products. Unfavorable foreign currency is expected to impact our guidance by approximately $12 million. That said, we do not expect the impact of foreign currency on sales to impact earnings materially, as cost and local currency also declined to generally offset the revenue decline.
Troy Koopreiter: Turning to slide 14, we are updating our full-year 2024 guidance to reflect updated foreign currency rates, updated OEM production volumes, and current expectations for non-OEM and customer-demand-based products, including aftermarket and option-selectable products.
Troy Koopreiter: Unfavorable foreign currency is expected to impact our guidance by approximately $12 million. That said, we do not expect the impact of foreign currency on sales to impact earnings materially, as costs in local currency also declined to generally offset the revenue decline.
Matt: That said, we do not expect the impact of foreign currency on sales to impact earnings materially, as costs in local currency also declined to generally offset the revenue. The forecasted reduction in OEM volumes is expected to reduce full-year revenue by approximately $18 million. As a result, we are expecting midpoint revenue of approximately $955 million for the full year, with a range of $940 to $970 million based on the potential for volatility in our non-OEM and customer demand-based products for the remainder of the year.
Matthew Horvath: Based on current forecasts, we expect a reduction in OEM production volumes related to lower production volumes for commercial vehicle programs in both Europe and North America, driven primarily by continued macroeconomic pressures, as well as reduced demand in North America passenger vehicle programs. The forecasted reduction in OEM volumes is expected to reduce full year revenue by approximately $18 million. In addition, we are seeing increased pressure and some timing delays on non-OEM and customer demand-based products, including the timing of adoption for certain mirror eye retrofit applications, the market adoption of the Smart2 Tecograph, and increased headwinds in our off-IWN markets.
Troy Koopreiter: In addition, we are seeing increased pressure and some timing delays on non-OEM and customer demand based products, including the timing of adoption for certain MirrorEye retrofit applications, the market adoption of the Smart2Tachograph, and increased headwinds in our off-highway end markets.
Matthew Horvath: Finally, as Jim mentioned previously, while current orders for the Volvo Mirror Eye system are less than initially expected, communication from Volvo has suggested volumes relatively in line with our original expectations for the full year. The high end of our guidance assumes a nominal impact based on these factors, while the midpoint considers approximately $15 million of revenue headwinds from non-OEM and customer demand-based products. We continue to put actions in place to influence the revenue that we have some control over for the remainder of the year. For example, we continue to see significant opportunity in the Smart2 Tecograph aftermarket and are working closely with our distributors to maximize market penetration.
Troy Koopreiter: Finally, as Jim mentioned previously, while current orders for the Volvo Mirai system are less than initially expected, communication from Volvo has suggested volumes relatively in line with our original expectations for the full year.
Matthew Horvath: As a result, we are expecting midpoint revenue of approximately $955 million for the full year, with a range of $940 to $970 million based on the potential for volatility in our non-OEM and customer demand-based products for the remainder of the year. As has been the case historically, we are expecting a reduced revenue in the third quarter relative to the second quarter due to summer shutdowns and seasonality in production. We are expecting fourth quarter revenue to continue to improve according to normal seasonality, with the potential for outperformance based on continued OEM mirror eye acceleration and Tecograph aftermarket sales.
Matt: We are expecting fourth-quarter revenue to continue to improve according to normal seasonality with the potential for outperformance based on continued OEM mirror eye acceleration and tachygraph aftermarket sales. As a result of the reduced revenue, we would typically expect decremental margins aligned with our historical rates of approximately 25 to 30 percent, excluding the impact of foreign currency, as I discussed earlier. The $33 million total reduction between OEM and non-OEM products at the midpoint would result in an EBITDA reduction of approximately $9 million for the year.
Troy Koopreiter: We are expecting fourth quarter revenue to continue to improve according to normal seasonality with the potential for outperformance based on continued OEM mirror eye acceleration and tachygraph aftermarket sales.
Matthew Horvath: As a result of the reduced revenue, we would typically expect decremental margins aligned with our historical rates of approximately 25 to 30%. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, as I discussed earlier, the $33 million total reduction between OEM and non-OEM products at the midpoint would result in EBITDA reduction of approximately $9 million for the year. However, similar to our outperformance in the second quarter, we are expecting continued core performance initiatives to improve our earnings as the year continues and to limit the impact of reduced revenue expectation. We expect these activities will improve earnings by approximately $3 million for the remainder of the year, resulting in a decremental contribution margin of approximately 18 percent, excluding the impact of foreign currency, and only 13 percent, including the impact of FX.
Matt: However, similar to our outperformance in the second quarter, we are expecting continued core performance initiatives to improve our earnings as the year continues and to limit the impact of reduced revenue expectations. We continue to significantly outpace our underlying end markets, creating a runway for sustainable, long-term growth. Similarly, we continue to improve the fundamental performance of the business, resulting in some mitigation of the expected revenue decline this year and, more importantly, continuing to build a foundation for strong incremental earnings as we grow next year and beyond.
Troy Koopreiter: However, similar to our outperformance in the second quarter, we are expecting continued core performance initiatives to improve our earnings as the year continues and to limit the impact of reduced revenue expectations.
Matthew Horvath: And more importantly, continuing to build a foundation for strong incremental earnings as we grow next year and beyond.
Matthew Horvath: Page 15 outlines our full-year guidance we outlined on the prior page. As we have discussed throughout the call, our base performance is improving as we continue to execute on the key priorities we outlined for the year. As a result, despite reduced revenue expectations, we are increasing our gross margin midpoint guidance by 50 basis points to reflect our expectations of continued improvements in material costs and manufacturing performance.
Matt: As we have discussed throughout the call, our base performance is improving as we continue to execute on the key priorities we outlined for the year. As a result, despite reduced revenue expectations, we are increasing our gross margin midpoint guidance by 50 basis points to reflect our expectations of continued improvements in material costs and manufacturing performance. Finally, we are reducing our midpoint adjusted EPS guidance for the full year by $0.12 to a midpoint of $0.23 to reflect reduced fixed cost leverage on reduced sales and an updated tax expense expectation of $5 to $6 million based on our current expectation of earnings by jurisdiction. Thank you, Matt.
Matthew Horvath: Aligned with current market conditions, we are reducing our adjusted operating margin and adjusted EBITDA margin expectations to reflect reduced leverage on lower sales.
Matthew Horvath: Finally, we are reducing our midpoint adjusted EPS guidance for the full year by 12 cents to a midpoint of 23 cents to reflect reduced fixed cost leverage on reduced sales and an updated tax expense expectation of $5 to $6 million based on our current expectation of earnings by jurisdiction. We continue to focus on improving the variables that are in our control and acting swiftly to mitigate factors that may be outside of our control, including continued macroeconomic pressures in our end markets and currency volatility. Our second quarter result and our expectations of improved gross margin for the remainder of the year are proved that our actions are improving our run rate as we progress toward our long-term targets.
James Zizelman: With that, I will turn it back over to Jim for some closing comments. Thank you, Matt.
James Zizelman: In closing, turning to page 16, our second quarter performance shows continued improvement across each of our 2024 key priorities. Based on our strong performance today and our expectations of continued strong performance for the remainder of the year, we have increased our gross margin midpoint guidance by 50 basis points, increasing our margin expansion target to 190 basis points over 2023. Third, we are focused on leveraging our global footprint to maximize our capabilities and output.
James Zizelman: In closing, turning to page 16, our second quarter performance shows continued improvement across each of our 2024 key priorities. First, we are focused on driving continued growth and market outperformance. Our full year midpoint revenue guidance implies 3.6 percentage points of outperformance compared to our weighted average underlying end markets, which are expected to decline by 4.3%. This outperformance is driven primarily by stone bridge specific growth drivers, including new programs, incremental content, and expansion of our existing opportunities. Second, we are focused on gross margin expansion through material cost improvement and enterprise-wide operational excellence. Based on our strong performance today and our expectations of continued strong performance for the remainder of the year, we have increased our gross margin midpoint guidance by 50 basis points.
Troy Koopreiter: Thank you, Matt. In closing, turning to page 16, our second quarter performance shows continued improvement across each of our 2024 key priorities.
Troy Koopreiter: Our Full Year Midpoint Revenue Guidance implies 3.6 percentage points of outperformance compared to our weighted average underlying end markets, which are expected to decline by 4.3%.
Troy Koopreiter: Based on our strong performance today and our expectations of continued strong performance for the remainder of the year, we have increased our Gross Margin Midpoint Guidance by 50 basis points, increasing our Margin Expansion Target to 190 basis points over 2023.
James Zizelman: Increased in our margin expansion target to 190 basis points over 2023. Third, we are focused on leveraging our global footprint to maximize our capabilities and output. Again, based on our strong performance today, we have improved adjusted EBITDA margin by 160 basis points in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. Fourth, we are focused on efficient cash generation through effective inventory management. Through our focused efforts on reducing inventory to improve working capital and generate more cash, we reduced our inventory balance by $9 million since the beginning of the year. We remain focused on inventory reduction and cash performance to reduce overall net debt and interest expense.
Troy Koopreiter: We have improved adjusted EBITDA margin by 160 basis points in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year.
Troy Koopreiter: Through our focused efforts on reducing inventory to improve working capital and generate more cash, we've reduced our inventory balance by $9 million since the beginning of the year. We remain focused on inventory reduction and cash performance to reduce overall net debt and interest expense.
James Zizelman: Finally, we are focused on efficient capital deployment while maintaining an appropriate capital structure. This includes prioritizing our organic investment opportunities with a focus on return on engineering and investing in technology to develop new products for customers that will facilitate future growth, such as the AI-based advanced development projects that Troy outlined earlier in the call. As evidenced by our progress made so far this year, this team is focused on executing against our priorities to drive strong growth and continued margin improvement and an improved balance sheet. We will continue to execute across these initiatives and expect to see the benefits in our financial performance.
James Zizelman: Again, based on our strong performance to date, we have improved our adjusted EBITDA margin by 160 basis points in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. Finally, we are focused on efficient capital deployment while maintaining an appropriate capital structure.
Troy Koopreiter: Finally, we are focused on efficient capital deployment while maintaining an appropriate capital structure.
Troy Koopreiter: This includes prioritizing our organic investment opportunities, with a focus on return on engineering, and investing in technology to develop new products for customers that will facilitate future growth, such as the AI-based advanced development projects that Troy outlined earlier in the call.
Troy Koopreiter: As evidenced by our progress made so far this year, this team is focused on executing against our priorities to drive strong growth.
James Zizelman: Stoneridge remains well positioned to outpace our underlying end markets and drive significant earnings expansion going forward.
James Zizelman: As always, driving shareholder value is at the forefront of all of Stoneridge's strategic initiatives.
Operator: And with that, I'll open the call for questions. At this time, we will conduct the question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your phone now, and you'll be placed into the queue in the order received. Once again, to ask a question, press star one on your phone now.
James Zizelman: This includes prioritizing our organic investment opportunities with a focus on return on engineering and investing in technology to develop new products for customers that will facilitate future growth, such as the AI-based advanced development projects that Troy outlined earlier in the call. And with that, I'll open the call for questions. Hey guys, this is Collin Neiman on behalf of Daniel Embro.
Collin Nieman: And our first question will come from Daniel Imbro with Stevens. Hey guys, this is Collin Nieman on for Daniel Imbro. Thanks for taking my question.
Collin Nieman: Hey Collin, good morning. How you doing? Very well.
Troy Koopreiter: Hey guys, this is Collin Nieman on for Daniel Embro. Thanks for taking my question.
Collin Nieman: I wanted to ask about some of the cost improvements. You guys have made material cost improvements, and the operating cost controls grow sequential improvement in EBITDA margin in the quarter. How can we think about that progression through the second half and how much opportunity remains on the cost side if you can help frame that up.
Speaker Change: Hey Colin, good morning, how are you doing?
Collin Nieman: very well.
Collin Neiman: Thanks. You guys have made material cost improvements and, uh... The operating cost controls drove sequential improvement in EBITDA margin. So curious to get your thoughts on that and how it will affect you through the remainder of 24 and maybe into early 25.
Speaker Change: You guys have made material cost improvements and...
Matthew Horvath: Yeah, we appreciate the question, Collin. Obviously, this has been a key focus for us this year. You know, we have made significant progress, not only on material cost, but really across all of our operational excellence type priorities, right? So you saw material costs significantly improve in the quarter. Quality related costs have also come down, which is supporting an improved gross margin. You also saw that in the guidance, although we had some revenue headwind, we're offsetting quite a substantial portion, about a third of that potential headwind, on the bottom line with continued improvement. So we think that there's quite a bit left to do here, particularly on the material cost side as we continue down a pipeline of material cost improvement plans.
Speaker Change: Yeah, I appreciate the question, Colin. Obviously, this has been a...
Speaker Change: are a key focus for us this year. You know, we have made significant progress, not only on material costs, but really across all of our operational excellence type priorities, right? So you saw material costs significantly improve in the quarter.
Troy Koopreiter: [inaudible]
Speaker Change: So, we think that there's quite a bit left to do here, particularly on the material cost side as we continue down a pipeline of material cost improvement plans, and we'll continue to control operating costs and flexes necessary based on market conditions. So, we're really making improvements across the P&L. You saw that come through in pretty good outperformance in the quarter, and we expect that that will continue certainly throughout the remainder of the year as we get set up for a good 2025.
Matthew Horvath: And we'll continue to control operating costs and flex as necessary based on market conditions. So we're really making improvements across the P&L. You saw that come through in, you know, pretty good outperformance in the quarter. And we expect that will continue certainly throughout the remainder of the year.
Collin Nieman: We get some for a good 2025.
Collin Nieman: Yeah, that makes sense.
Collin Nieman: And then moving on, I wanted to ask one on the mirror. I take rates right now versus expectations earlier in the year. It sounds like the your program that started maybe started out with a great lower, but then you guys noted a couple really positive data points here recently.
Speaker Change: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker Change: And then moving on, I wanted to ask one on the MRI take rates right now versus...
Speaker Change: expectations earlier in the year. It sounds like the
Speaker Change: Your program that started maybe, started out with take rates lower, but then you guys noted a couple really positive data points here recently.
Collin Nieman: So curious, get your thoughts on that and how you continue to think about how that will progress through the year.
James Zizelman: Hey, Colin, thanks for the question. You know, we are actually quite excited about where tech rates are for the mirror eye program, especially the new launching programs. You know, with Volvo, as we had indicated here a few moments ago, you know, it's so early in the launch. So it's hard to gauge that exactly, but you know, with commentary that we're getting back to, the feedback from customers being so positive. You know, we really do feel that we'll hit the target or even go beyond the target at this point. So we're very, very, very excited and bullish on where that goes.
Troy Koopreiter: Think about how that will progress through the year.
Speaker Change: Hey Colin, thanks for the question. You know, we are actually quite excited about where take rates are for the MIRAI program, especially the new launching programs.
Troy Koopreiter: You know, we really do feel that we'll hit the target or even go beyond the target at this point. So we're very, very, very excited and bullish on where that goes.
James Zizelman: And of course, as you know, we have some other launches coming up as well, you know, including at the beginning of next year, two more launches here in North America. And you know, that will of course increase the amount of mirror eye product that goes out into the market. And we're bullish on those tech rates.
Collin Nieman: as well. And then I'll do one more quick one here.
Collin Nieman: Any color you can give on what your customers are saying on the OEM side for their demand outlook through the remainder of 24 and maybe into early 25 as well. Yeah, I mean, obviously you saw we had a little bit of a reduction in the guidance based on the forecasted production. I still think there's some volatility here in the second half. You're seeing that as we brought guidance down a little bit related to the OEM production.
Speaker Change: That's helpful. And then I'll do one more quick one here. Any color you can give on what your customers are saying on the OEM side for their demand outlook through the remainder of 24 and maybe into early 25 as well.
Matt: Yeah, I mean, obviously, we had a little bit of a reduction in the guidance based on forecasted production. I still think there's some volatility here in the second half. You're seeing that as we brought guidance down a little bit related to OEM production. You know, 2025, it's probably too early to tell yet.
Matthew Horvath: You know, 2025 it's probably too early to tell yet. You know, obviously the markets moving with interest rates and the overall macroeconomic conditions are big influences on some of our end markets. So, you know, we do see obviously a tremendous amount of self-help as we go into 2025, like Jim mentioned. So we expect, you know, to continue to outperform our underlying end markets, but you did see a little bit of a reduction here in the back half.
Matt: You know, obviously, the market's moving with interest rates, and the overall macroeconomic conditions are big influences on some of our end markets. So, you know, we do see, obviously, a tremendous amount of self-help as we go into 2025, like Jim mentioned. So, we expect, you know, to continue to outperform our underlying end markets, but you did see a little bit of a reduction here in the back half. Okay, I'll leave it there. Thanks a lot, guys. Thanks Collin; I appreciate the questions. Thank you. And our next question will come from Gary Prestopino with Barrington. What is it?
Collin Nieman: Okay, I'll leave it there.
Collin Nieman: Thanks a lot, guys. Thanks, Colin. Appreciate the questions.
Operator: Thank you.
Gary Prestopino: And our next question will come from Gary Presipino with Burnton Research. Hey, good morning, all.
Speaker Change: Thanks Colin, appreciate the questions. Thank you.
Speaker Change: And our next question will come from Gary Prestopino with Barrington Research.
Gary Prestopino: Can we turn this slide 14? I want to try and parse this out as exactly what is transpiring here in terms of the reduced guidance between the various business segments that you have. I mean, the 12 million decline due to FX. I mean, that's self-explanatory.
Gary Prestopino: Hey, good morning all. Can we turn to slide 14? I want to try and parse this out exactly.
Gary Prestopino: I think it's inspiring here in terms of the reduced guidance. But the $18 million from OEM production volume... is that mainly in the projections that you gave for this year, which called for about $100 million of revenue in between? So those numbers that you had started the beginning of the year at with about $100 million of revenue, the low end of adjusted EBITDA, would be attainable, or are there other wild cards out there that, You know, obviously, Gary, we go through a pretty robust process to evaluate guidance and try to give a, you know, transparent view of where the business is going for the remainder of the year.
Gary Prestopino: What is transpiring here in terms of the reduced guidance between the various business segments that you have? I mean, the 12 million decline due to FX, I mean, that's self-explanatory.
Gary Prestopino: But the 18 million from OEM production volumes is that mainly in the control devices segment or electronics, or where is that spread around? I guess what I'm really trying to get at is what I'm really trying to get at is the MIRAI projections that you gave for this year, which called for about a hundred million of revenue between new wins and retrofit. How is that going to look now, given what's transpired in the market?
Speaker Change: Is that mainly in the...
Speaker Change: control devices segment or electronics or where is that spread around I guess what I'm really trying to get at is what I'm really trying to get it is
Speaker Change: The Mirai projections that you gave for this year, which called for about $100 million of revenue between new wins and retrofit, how is that going to look now given what's transpired in the market?
Matthew Horvath: Yeah, thanks, Gary. So the couple of buckets that you see there on slide 14, FX, like you said, is pretty self-explanatory. The 18 million is really think about it as effectively IHS or our view on OEM production for the remainder of the year. Okay.
Speaker Change: Yeah, thanks Gary. So the couple of buckets that you see there on slide 14, FX, like you said, is pretty self-explanatory. The $18 million is really, think about it as effectively IHS or our view on OEM production for the remainder of the year. So that would not include anything related necessarily to Mirai take rates, for example, or any other kind of non-OE product where the market's going.
Matthew Horvath: So that would not include anything related necessarily to MIRAI take rates, for example, or any other kind of non-OE product with the markets going. Yeah, that next bucket there, that 15 million incorporates any volume volatility that we might see on the newly launched program, as Jim outlined in the remarks. But also anything else is non-OE. So off-highway end markets, aftermarket end markets, kind of that whole bucket of non-OE, which is obviously a pretty growing portion of our overall business. So you can think of kind of the left side of that as more kind of macroeconomic, the FX and the OEM production volumes, more formulaic.
Speaker Change: Yeah, that next bucket there, that $15 million, incorporates any volume volatility that we might see on the newly launched program, as Jim outlined in the remarks.
Speaker Change: But also, you know, anything else is non-OE, so off-highway end markets, aftermarket end markets, kind of that whole bucket of non-OE, which is obviously a pretty growing portion of our overall business.
Matthew Horvath: And the right side is more non-OE and specific customer demand related or option selectable products.
Matthew Horvath: But is that 15 million decline? That includes MIRAI or doesn't, that's where I'm taking it. It does include potential volatility in MIRAI, yes, that's right.
Speaker Change: But is that 15 million decline, that includes Mirai or doesn't, that's what I'm trying to get at. It does include potential volatility in Mirai, yes, that's right. Okay.
Matthew Horvath: Okay, so those numbers that you had started the beginning of the year out with about a hundred million of revenue from MIRAI, that is not going to be tangible, in your opinion. Well, what we said, Gary, is we're still early in the launch on the MIRAI program. That kind of zero to thirty million dollar range of the guidance is the potential impact for not only MIRAI, but really everything else, not only so smart to tack a graph, aftermarket, for example, the off-highway business. So we're still early in the launch, and that volatility is incorporated in that range.
Speaker Change: Okay, so so those numbers that you had started the beginning of the year at with about a hundred million of revenue From your eye that is not going to be attainable and in your opinion
Matthew Horvath: But I think it's too early to say how materially different it would be from the hundred million dollar number that we put out early in the year. There is certainly some pressure on that, like Jim said, with some volatility in that launch early on. But we're still too early to extrapolate that over really even the remainder of the year at this point.
Matthew Horvath: Okay, and obviously your new guidance is based on what you're seeing now in terms of demand on your end user and market. So do you feel that, given what's going on in the market right now? The low end of the adjusted EBITDA would be attainable. Is there other wild cards out there that could make that lower end not be attainable? You know, obviously, Gary, we go through a pretty robust process to evaluate guidance and try to give a transparent view of where the business is going for the remainder of the year. So we do have a little bit of a broader range than we typically give at this point in the year given, frankly, how much of the business has some, we can influence really for the remainder of the year.
Speaker Change: Okay, and obviously your new guidance is based on what you're seeing now.
Speaker Change: in terms of demand on your end-user, end-market.
Speaker Change: Do you feel that, given what's going on...
Speaker Change: The low end of adjusted EBITDA would be attainable, or is there other wild cards out there that could make that lower end not be attainable?
Speaker Change: You know obviously Gary we go through a pretty robust process to evaluate guidance and try to give a you know transparent view of where the business is going for the remainder of the year so
Gary Prestopino: So, we do have a little bit of a broader range than we typically give at this point in the year given, frankly, how much of the business has some we can influence, really, for the remainder of the year. So, you know, there are things we can do to move revenue in some of those non-OE products more so than we have in prior years, which is why that range is broad. As we see it now, Gary, you know, this range is attainable.
Speaker Change: We do have a little bit of a broader range than we typically give at this point in the year given, frankly, how much of the business we can influence, really, for the remainder of the year.
Matthew Horvath: So there are things we can do to move revenue in some of those non-AL products more so than we have in prior years, which is why that range is broad. As we see in our Gary, this range is attainable. We wouldn't put out guidance that we don't see as attainable. And we're really pushing hard on some of the things that we can control to outperform where we are. There is a lot more influence over the back after year than we typically have. Whether it's the after market in smart too and market penetration there, some of the off highway markets where we're not traditional OE, that's a little more of an after market business.
Gary Prestopino: So, you know, there are things we can do to move revenue in some of those non-OE products more so than we have in prior years, which is why that range is broad. As we see it now, Gary, you know, this range is attainable. We wouldn't put out guidance that we don't see as attainable. And we're really pushing hard on some of the things that we can control to outperform where we are. You know, there is a lot more influence over the back half of the year than we typically have, whether it's, you know, the aftermarket in Smart2 and market penetration there, some of the off-highway markets where we're not traditional OE, it's a little more of an aftermarket business.
Matt: We wouldn't put out guidance that we don't see as attainable, and we're really pushing hard on some of the things that we can control to outperform where we are. You know, there is a lot more influence over the back half of the year than we typically have, whether it's the aftermarket in Smart2 and market penetration there, some of the off-highway markets where we're not traditional OE, that's a little more of an aftermarket business.
Matthew Horvath: Even on the mirror, I take great piece on how we work with customers and their customers, the dealers, to push take rate and improve visibility of the product. All those things are opportunities for us as the year goes on.
Matt: Even on the mirror-eyed take rate piece and how we work with customers and their customers, the dealers, to push take rates and improve visibility of the product, I think all those things are opportunities for us as the year goes on. So, we certainly see the guidance as attainable. Okay, so I also want to talk about, [inaudible] Is this the first pilot that you have out there for this product? Yeah, it is the first pilot, Gary, yes. Okay. So Volvo Bus is the first customer that has this. That's what I'm trying to get at, or do you have a bunch of other pilots out there?
Matthew Horvath: So we certainly see the guidance as attainable.
Gary Prestopino: Okay, so I also want to talk about this Volvo bus pilot for data and AI-based fuel advice systems. Is this the first pilot that you have out there for this product? Yeah, it is the first pilot, Gary, yes. Okay, so it's already going. We're already getting some results from it as well. So it's not something that is, you know, an academic thought, right? This is a product that's truly being piloted with real customers, with real drivers. Yes.
Speaker Change: Okay, so I also want to talk about this Volvo bus.
Speaker Change: pilot for data and AI-based fuel.
Speaker Change: Advice Systems.
Speaker Change: Is this the first pilot that you have out there for this product?
Speaker Change: Yeah, it is the first pilot, Gary, yes.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: It's already going. We're already getting some results from it as well. So it's not something that is, you know, an academic thought, right? This is a product that's truly being piloted with real customers, with real drivers.
Gary Prestopino: So, so Volvo buses the first customer that has this, that's what I'm trying to get. Do you have a bunch of other pilots out there? Volvo buses the first customer and their consideration for others as we go forward. Yes.
Speaker Change: So Volvo Bus is the first customer that has this, that's what I'm trying to get at, or do you have a bunch of other pilots out there?
Speaker Change: Bobo Bus is the first customer and there is consideration for others as we go forward, yes.
Troy Cooprider: So, if you look at this product with AI-based fuel system, just very simply explain how this really would work in terms of does it look at, I mean does it take into account everything: weather, wind, routes, how does this thing work? Yeah, we're going to have Troy talk to that. He's obviously the tactical expert here, and I think you can offer a lot of background to help us understand.
Speaker Change: Okay, so if you if you look at this product with AI based fuel system advice system, just very simply explain
Gary Prestopino: How would this really work in terms of, does it look at, I mean, does it take into account everything, weather, and wind? So it's very interesting for bus services. Okay, so then in terms of this product, and also, you know, along with the advanced software and AI that you're developing from your eye as well, or you have developed. Well, per se, I'm not sure that there'd be a very significant improvement in additional fuel economy improvement that would come from Mirai.
Speaker Change: How this really would work in terms of, does it look at, I mean does it take into account everything, weather, wind, routes, how does it, how does this thing work?
Speaker Change: We're going to have Troy talk to that. He's, you know, obviously the technical expert here and I think he can offer a lot of background to help us understand.
Troy Cooprider: Hi, Gary. Hi. So, from an attribute standpoint of what we use in the AI algorithm, we're really looking at the driver behavior and how the driver behaves with respect to the slope of the road, the overall weight of the bus, and the average speed. And we're helping the fleet managers, the bus managers, understand how the best drivers work in those situations versus some of their challenge drivers so that they can coach the behavioral impact to make better drivers better and some of their underperforming drivers more towards average or better. So, it's really on the behavioral side and using multiple attributes in and around the bus.
Troy Koopreiter: Hi, Gary.
Troy Koopreiter: So from a attribute standpoint of what we use in the AI algorithm, we're really looking at
Troy Koopreiter: and how the driver behaves with respect to the slope of the road, the overall weight of the bus, and the average speed. And we're helping the fleet managers, the bus managers, understand how the best drivers
Troy Koopreiter: work in those situations versus some of their challenge drivers so that they can coach the behavioral impact to make better drivers better and some of their underperforming drivers more towards average or better.
Troy Koopreiter: So it's really on the behavioral side and using multiple attributes in and around the bus.
Gary Prestopino: Okay.
Troy Cooprider: So, Gary, think about how, just think about how someone might even drive a car. Some people take away from a traffic light very quickly. We all know that's a very energy-consuming kind of event. Some people may not slow down for curves and wear brakes down, etc. So, it really looks at a lot of those attributes of driver-based performance, all the things that we all do every day and turns you into a much less aggressive driver. Someone that really is trying to maximize fuel economy on the vehicle that's being driven. Early results; we won't be quantitative today, but early results are very impressive for the amount of fuel economy improvement that is brought from the technology, including from the very best drivers that are already driving reasonably well and reasonably reasonable relative to conserving fuel.
Troy Koopreiter: Okay, I really... So Gary, think about how...
Gary Prestopino: Just think about how someone might even drive a car. Some people take away from a traffic light very quickly. We all know that's a very energy-consuming kind of event. Some people may not slow down for curves and where it breaks down, etc.
Speaker Change: So it really looks at a lot of those attributes of driver-based performance, all the things that we all do every day, and turns you into a much less aggressive driver, someone that.
Troy Koopreiter: for the amount of fuel economy improvement.
Troy Koopreiter: that is brought from the technology, including from the very best drivers that are already driving reasonably well and reasonable relative to conserving fuel. Even those drivers have a marked improvement in performance with this technology.
Troy Cooprider: Even those drivers have a market improvement in performance with this technology.
Gary Prestopino: So, it's very interesting to bus services.
Gary Prestopino: And I know this is a pilot, but there's a revenue model that contemplates some kind of a SaaS software.
Troy Koopreiter: So it's very interesting to bus services.
Speaker Change: And I know this is a pilot, but does the revenue model contemplate some kind of a SAS software?
Gary Prestopino: Yeah, Gary, that's the go-to-market. That's right.
Troy Cooprider: Okay, so then in terms of, and I want to keep just because this is interesting to me, in terms of this product, can you incorporate that into MIRAI? And also, you know, along with the advanced software and AI that you're developing from MIRAI as well, or you have built? Well, I mean, per se, you know, I'm not sure that there would be a very significant improvement in additional fuel economy improvement that would come from that from MIRAI. However, the base technology, the base idea of it could be. So, you know, with recording, for example, we can see how drivers execute lane changes and some other things, relative to looking backward with the side view mirrors.
Speaker Change: Yeah, Gary, that's the go-to-market. That's right.
Speaker Change: Okay, so then in terms of and I want to keep just because this is interesting to me in terms of this product
Speaker Change: Can you incorporate that into MiraEye and also, you know, along with the advanced software and AI that you're developing for MiraEye as well, or you have developed?
Speaker Change: Well, I mean, per se, you know, I'm not sure that there would be a, you know, a very
Gary Prestopino: However, it could be that the base technology, the base idea of it, is. So, you know, with recording, for example, we can see how drivers execute lane changes and some other things relative to looking backward with the side view mirrors. And yeah, there could be some guidance given to the driver, maybe more so for safety performance, you know, acceptable driving technique on the road, those kinds of things. So, in concept, it could be applied.
Speaker Change: So, you know, with recording, for example, we can see how drivers execute.
Speaker Change: Lane changes and some other things relative to looking backward with the side view mirrors.
Troy Cooprider: And yeah, there could be some guidance given to the driver, maybe more so for safety performance, you know, acceptable driving technique on the road, those kinds of things. So, yes, in concept, it could be applied. And we've already begun to apply AI to MIRAI with, you know, path lanes and so forth, the trailer projection for where the trailer will go.
Speaker Change: And, yeah, there could be some guidance given to the driver, maybe more so for safety performance, you know, acceptable driving technique on the road, those kinds of things. So, yes.
Unnamed Speaker: And we've already begun to apply AI to Mirai with, you know, path lanes and so forth, trailer projection for where the trailer will go, and those kinds of things. So this would be an addendum to that that would add yet another layer of potential improved safety with this type of technology. I mean, it says developing, deploying, and developing. I mean, this is very early in the game. Scott is going out in a Iowa.
Troy Cooprider: And those kinds of things; this would be an addendum to that that would add yet another layer of potential improved safety with this type of technology.
Speaker Change: and those kinds of things. So this would be an addendum to that that would add yet another layer of potential improved safety with with this with this type of technology.
Gary Prestopino: Right. And then we look at, yeah, that makes sense.
Troy Cooprider: And if we look at slide A, where you're talking about what you've got on AI from MIRAI at this point, I mean, it says developing, deploying, developing. I mean, this is very early in the game here for what you've got going out in AI, or assume, right? Well, you know, AI is already embedded in the MIRAI as we speak today, right? Depends on which model and so forth, but it's already embedded. And yeah, it's the more rudimentary stuff. It's the pathways that you saw when you saw the track, but there's more to come. I mean, what you see in the slide itself, and you know, what you see there in terms of alerting the driver and so forth, you know, these are right at the doorstep of being, you know, broadly utilized.
Unnamed Speaker: Well, you know, AI is already embedded in the Mirai, as we speak today. It depends on which model and so forth, but it's already embedded. And yeah, it's the more rudimentary stuff. It's the path lanes that you saw when you saw the truck.
Speaker Change: Well, you know, AI is already embedded in the mirror eye as we speak today, right? It depends on which model and so forth, but it's already embedded and yeah, it's the more rudimentary stuff. It's the path lanes that you saw when you saw the truck.
Unnamed Speaker: But there's more to come. I mean, what you see on the slide itself, and what you see there in terms of alerting the driver and so forth, these are right at the doorstep of being, you know, broadly utilized. So, yeah, it's already in, and there's a lot more to come, and it's soon. Well, it makes the application more sticky.
Speaker Change: but there's more to come. I mean what you see in the in the slide itself and you know what you see there in terms of alerting the driver and so forth you know these are these are right at the at the doorstep of being you know broadly utilized.
Troy Cooprider: So yeah, it's already in, and there's a lot more to come, and it's soon.
Speaker Change: So, yeah, it's already in, and there's a lot more to come, and it's soon.
Gary Prestopino: Well, it makes the operation more sticky as it goes on. Yeah, for sure. For sure.
Unnamed Speaker: All right, thank you. We will continue to deliver on our commitments by focusing on our long-term strategy, broad operational improvements, and excellence in execution.
