Revenue and Earnings Update
The company reported a decrease in net income and operating income compared to the previous fiscal period. Increased input costs, particularly in engineering and raw materials, contributed to compressed margins.

Complete vehicle assembly and component manufacturing experienced varying levels of revenue performance. However, higher costs related to program launches and materials influenced overall profitability. Adjusted EBIT and cash flow were also lower year-over-year.
Segment Performance Across Regions

By division, Body Exteriors & Structures, Seating Systems, and Power & Vision displayed different results. While some segments benefited from improved sales volumes, others were affected by increased development and operational expenses. Program launch costs and shifts in product mix also impacted segment performance.
Operating Environment and Cost Pressures
The automotive sector continues to experience elevated input costs, which have affected manufacturing schedules and margins. Labor and logistics costs added to the financial strain during the reporting period. In addition, new product launches required additional resources, contributing to short-term inefficiencies.
The company’s operations remain influenced by production trends, supplier dynamics, and inventory adjustments across regions. Shifts in the supply chain and the broader economic environment added complexity to cost management and delivery timelines.
