Results of Operations

Net sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $913 million, representing an increase of 3% (including a favorable impact of $23 million or 3% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $890 million in the second quarter of 2024. This increase was driven by foreign currency impacts and recoveries on newly enacted import tariffs. Strong demand for gasoline and commercial vehicle applications was more than offset by weaker demand for replacement parts on aftermarket sales and diesel products.

Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2025 increased to $732 million from $705 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by $16 million of foreign currency impacts, $15 million from the impact of newly enacted import tariffs, $6 million of unfavorable product mix and $3 million of higher sales volumes. These increases were partially offset by $8 million of productivity net of labor inflation, $4 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation, and $1 million of lower R&D costs.

Gross profit totaled $181 million for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $185 million in the second quarter of 2024, with a gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 2024 of 19.8% as compared to 20.8% in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by $25 million of unfavorable product mix and $2 million of pricing, net of inflation pass-through. These decreases were partially offset by $9 million of foreign currency impacts, $9 million of productivity, net of labor inflation, $4 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation, $1 million from higher sales volumes, and $1 million of lower R&D costs. We also saw a $1 million impact on gross profit from newly enacted import tariffs due to the timing of negotiated recoveries.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2025 decreased to $59 million from $61 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by $3 million of lower personnel costs partially offset by $2 million of unfavorable foreign exchange impacts.

Other expense in the second quarter of 2025 was $1 million as compared to $3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to professional fees incurred in the prior year associated with our 2032 Senior Notes.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2025 was $25 million as compared to $62 million in the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a $29 million reduction in debt issuance cost amortization, driven by accelerated amortization in the prior year, and $8 million in lower interest expense resulting from a change in the notional amount of debt outstanding in the period. Additionally, we recorded net gains of $4 million on designated and undesignated interest rate derivatives in the current year, consistent with the prior year's net gains of $4 million.

Non-operating income for the second quarter of 2025 was $6 million as compared to $1 million in the second quarter of 2024, with the increase primarily driven by foreign exchange transactional gains.

Tax expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $15 million as compared to $23 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily related to a one-time sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture in the prior year and a one-time benefit attributable to the revaluation of deferred tax assets in China, partially offset by an increase in U.S. taxes on international operations.

Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $87 million as compared to $64 million in the second quarter of 2024. The $23 million increase was primarily due to $37 million of lower interest expense, $8 million of lower tax expense, $2 million of lower SG&A expense, $2 million of lower other expense, net, and a $5 million increase in non-operating income. These were partially offset by $4 million of decreased gross profit and the prior year gain of $27 million on the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $158 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $126 million in the second quarter of 2024, representing an increase of $32 million. This increase was primarily due to $76 million of favorable impacts from working capital changes and $23 million of higher net income, partially offset by a decrease of $37 million in non-cash charges and $30 million of unfavorable impacts from changes in other assets and liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBIT increased to $124 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $123 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by $11 million of foreign currency impacts, $11 million of productivity, $4 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation, and $1 million of higher volumes. These increases were partially offset by $25 million of unfavorable product mix and $2 million of lower pricing net of inflation pass-through.

Adjusted free cash flow was $121 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $62 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $92 million of favorable impact from working capital changes (net of factoring), partially offset by $24 million of higher cash interest paid and $8 million of higher cash taxes paid.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication and related comments by management may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements represent our current judgment about possible future activities, events, or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe, or anticipate will or may occur in the future. In making these statement, we rely upon assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future performance, events, or results, and actual performance, events, or results may differ materially from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, many of which are described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including risks related to the automotive industry, the competitive landscape and our ability to compete, and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, among others. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statement, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This communication includes the following non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”): Constant currency sales growth, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted free cash flow. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and analysis of ongoing operating trends and are important indicators of operating performance because they exclude the effects of certain non-operating items, therefore making them more closely reflect our operational performance. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation of such measures to the most closely related GAAP measure, are set forth in the Appendix to this presentation. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related GAAP measures. For additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.​

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM BALANCE SHEETS

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBIT⁽¹⁾ and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾

(1) We evaluate performance on the basis of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA. We define “EBIT” as our net income calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus the sum of (i) interest expense net of interest income and (ii) tax expense. We define Adjusted EBIT as EBIT, plus the sum of (i) repositioning costs, (ii) foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gain/loss, (iii) discounting costs on factoring, (iv) gain on sale of equity investment, (v) acquisition and divestiture expenses, (vi) other non-operating income, (vii) capital structure transformation expenses, (viii) debt refinancing and redemption costs, and (ix) loss on extinguishment of debt, if any. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBIT, plus the sum of (i) repositioning costs, (ii) foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gain/loss, (iii) discounting costs on factoring, (iv) gain on sale of equity investment, (v) acquisition and divestiture expenses, (vi) other non-operating income, (vii) capital structure transformation expenses, (viii) debt refinancing and redemption costs, and (ix) loss on extinguishment of debt, if any, plus (x) depreciation and (xi) stock compensation expense. We believe that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because:

• Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing activities by eliminating the effects of interest and therefore more closely measure our operational performance;
• certain adjustment items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and could therefore have a disproportionate effect in a given period, affecting the comparability of our results; and
• Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of investing activities by eliminating the effects of depreciation.
  
  
  
  

In addition, our management may use Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align performance measurement with operational performance.

(2) Reflects interest income of $2 million and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2 million and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(3) Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension income.

(4) Reflects the third-party costs directly attributable to the repricing of our term loan and revolving credit facility.

(5) Stock compensation expense includes only non-cash expenses.

(6) Adjusted EBIT margin represents Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of net sales.

(7) Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Reconciliation of Constant Currency Sales % Change⁽¹⁾

(1) We define constant currency sales growth as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Reconciliation of Cash Flow from Operations to Adjusted Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾

(1) Adjusted free cash flow reflects an additional way of viewing liquidity that management believes is useful to investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures and additionally adjusted for other discretionary items including cash flow impacts for capital structure transformation expenses, acquisition and divestiture expenses, debt refinancing costs, and factoring and guaranteed bank notes activity.
