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

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.
