2025 Guidance
Revenue guidance remains unchanged, Adjusted EBITDA margin range expanded
2025E(1) | Drivers vs. Initial Guidance | |||
↓ | Projected decline in light vehicle production, primarily North America | |||
Product Revenues | $1.4B | - $1.5B | ↑ | Tariff pass-through revenue |
↑ | Foreign exchange favorability | |||
Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 11.5% - 13% | ↓ | Decremental margin impact from lower volume | |
↓ | Dilution from tariff pass-through revenue | |||
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate | 26% | - 29% | • | No change |
Capital Expenditures | $70M | - $80M | • | No change |
- Tariffs currently in effect as of today. Limited net impact from changes to customer demand schedules to date. A reduction in overall industry demand based on S&P Global Mobility's Light Vehicle Production Forecast from mid-April. Compared to the mid-February report, our total relevant markets declined 2% from 74.2 to 72.9 million units, with North America down 7% from 15.1 to 14.0 million units. EUR to USD exchange rate of ~$1.10/Euro.
- Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance range was previously 12.0% - 13.0%.
- Due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items that would impact net income margin, such as foreign currency gains and losses, we are unable to reasonably estimate net income margin, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA margin. Accordingly, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to net income margin with respect to the guidance provided.
