Previous wording

During the second quarter of 2025, we continued to navigate macro-economical challenges. Increased demand in light vehicle gasoline, primarily driven by new program launches in Europe, North America and India, was offset by declines in light vehicle volumes, particularly in Europe, and decreased demand for replacement parts in North America. Our sustainable cost measures implemented in the prior year, along with our effective recoveries on enacted import tariffs and a favorable foreign exchange environment, enabled us to achieve Net income of $87 million and Adjusted EBIT of $124 million for the quarter.

Current wording

During the third quarter of 2025, we continued to navigate macro-economic challenges. Increased demand in light vehicle gasoline, primarily driven by new program launches in Europe, China, India and North America, was partially offset by decreased demand for Aftermarket off-highway replacement parts in North America, resulting in unfavorable product mix. Driven by sustainable cost initiatives implemented over the last year and the current year, successful recovery of import tariffs, and a favorable foreign exchange environment, we delivered Net income of $77 million and Adjusted EBIT of $133 million for the quarter.

Previous wording

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net sales compared to the prior period increased by $23 million or 3% (including a favorable impact of $23 million or 3% due to foreign currency translation primarily driven by higher Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates). This increase was driven by foreign currency impacts and recoveries on newly enacted import tariffs. Strong demand for gasoline and commercial vehicle applications was more than offset by weaker demand for replacement parts on aftermarket sales and diesel products.

Current wording

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net sales compared to the prior period increased by $76 million or 9% (including a favorable impact of $26 million or 3% due to foreign currency translation primarily driven by higher Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates).

Net sales also includes $12 million of recoveries on enacted import tariffs.

Net sales further decreased due to price, net of inflation pass-through driven by commodity deflation.

Current wording

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net sales compared to the prior period increased by $62 million or 2% (including a favorable impact of $28 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation, primarily driven by fluctuations in global exchange rates).

These increases were partially offset by $32 million from unfavorable product mix and $6 million of lower sales volumes. We also saw a $1 million impact to gross profit from newly enacted import tariffs due to the timing of negotiated recoveries.
