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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, was up approximately 1% from the nine months ended September 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. 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.
Current wording
Commodities and Other Inflationary Impacts. During 2025, prices for commodities showed a lower level of volatility in comparison to what the Company had experienced from the beginning of 2021. The Company currently expects commodity prices and other input costs to show a higher level of volatility in 2026 compared to 2025. Commodity markets are influenced by geopolitical instability, which can contribute to supply chain fragmentation, higher logistics costs and increased price across energy, metals and other critical inputs.
Previous wording
The Company expects global industry production to be roughly flat year-over-year in 2025. The Company expects net new business-related sales growth and cost recovery actions to be mitigated by the impact of declining sales in the Company’s battery and charging systems segment. As a result, at the mid-point of its outlook, the Company expects sales to be roughly flat year-over-year, excluding the impact of foreign currencies. 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.
Current wording
The Company expects global industry production to be flat to down modestly year-over-year in 2026. In particular, the Company expects a negative sales impact from declining sales in the Company’s Battery Energy Systems reportable segment. As a result, at the mid-point of its outlook, the Company expects total sales in 2026 to decline year-over-year, excluding the impact of foreign currencies.
