On September 19, 2024, the Company commenced a lawsuit Delaware Superior Court against PHINIA, seeking to recover from PHINIA approximately $120 million of value added tax (“VAT”) refunds that PHINIA has received or expects to receive from governmental agencies as well as damages and interest, which PHINIA has refused to pay to the Company. These refunds consist of VAT paid by the Company in periods prior to or directly related to the Spin-Off through which the Company established PHINIA as an independent company. Prior to the initiation of the lawsuit, PHINIA had paid certain VAT refund amounts to the Company. The Company asserts PHINIA’s obligation to pay the Company these VAT refunds and related amounts is plainly set forth in a binding tax matters agreement between the Company and PHINIA, which the parties agreed to prior to the Spin-Off. PHINIA has responded to the lawsuit and has also asserted counterclaims against the Company. On April 10, 2025, the Delaware Superior Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the counterclaims. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an asset related to these VAT refunds of approximately $120 million, which is included in Receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Because the Company is unable to predict the timing of collection of these VAT refunds from PHINIA or the applicable governmental agencies, the Company has not included these amounts in its 2025 free cash flow guidance.

Economic Conditions. The Company’s financial performance depends on conditions in the global automotive industry. Automotive and truck production and sales are cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors, including interest rates, consumer credit and consumer spending and preferences. Government policies, such as the imposition, termination or other changes in tariffs (including retaliatory tariffs), the commencement or termination of consumer tax incentives, such as EV tax credits, and programs to invest in infrastructure, including EV charging stations, may affect consumer preferences. Economic declines or impacts of tariffs that result in a material reduction in automotive or truck production would have an adverse effect on our sales. The weighted average market production, as estimated by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was down approximately 2% from the six months ended June 30, 2024. Weighted average market production reflects light and commercial vehicle production as reported by S&P Global, weighted for the Company’s geographic exposure, as estimated by the Company.

Commodities and Other Inflationary Impacts. During 2024, prices for commodities showed a lower level of volatility in comparison to what the Company had experienced from the beginning of 2021. At the same time, many economies, including the United States, are still experiencing elevated levels of inflation, which continues to put pressure on other input costs (e.g., labor, energy, other materials). The Company expects commodities and other costs to be relatively flat in 2025. However, the Company expects greater uncertainty and volatility in commodities and other costs as a result of the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs by the United States and other countries in 2025, which could cause actual costs to be materially higher than expected.

While the outlook incorporates tariffs known as of the date of this filing, to the extent current tariffs and retaliatory tariffs by the United States and other countries increase, industry production and demand for the Company’s products could decrease, which could adversely impact the Company’s 2025 sales outlook.
