Current report

Aftermarket demand remained soft in the first six months of 2025. We continue to be in a period of slow growth in global aftermarkets, and this trend is expected to continue through the second half of 2025. First-fit experienced reduced demand in the first six months of 2025 reflecting depressed market conditions. First-fit demand is expected to remain at reduced levels through the second half of 2025 based on overall market cyclicality.

Current report

We have experienced variability in direct material costs through the first half of 2025. Various key commodities have been exposed to inflationary pressures, primarily due to the impact of tariffs. While the costs of our principal materials fluctuate, generally we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the materials we use and that they will broadly remain available.

Current report

During the first six months of 2025, our Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased due to lower one-time separation expenses.

Previous report

Previous wording

The United States has recently announced changes to U.S. trade policy, including increasing tariffs on imports, in some cases significantly, and potentially negotiating or terminating existing trade agreements. For example, on April 2, 2025, the United States announced a new universal baseline tariff of 10%, plus an additional country-specific tariff for select trading partners, most notably, a 145% tariff on substantially all products of Chinese origin, on all U.S. imports. These actions, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global demand in both aftermarket and first-fit. We are continuing to evaluate demand for our products in affected markets, along with these developments, and our ability to offset a portion of these costs to mitigate the impact on our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition. For more information, see Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Current wording

During the first half of 2025, the United States announced changes to U.S. trade policy, including increasing tariffs on imports, in some cases significantly, and potentially negotiating or terminating existing trade agreements. The United States also indicated that tariffs may change and that additional measures are under consideration to be introduced. These tariff and tariff-related measures include potential impacts to the industry in which we operate and the commodities to which our products are exposed. These actions, along with corresponding retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global demand in both aftermarket and first-fit. In response to these developments, we mitigated the cost impact on our business by employing any exemptions for which we were eligible, such as compliance under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), adjustment to our supply chain, and select price adjustments. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to offset these costs and mitigate the impact on our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Given the uncertainties, it is difficult to estimate the evolving tariff and policy landscape which may have a material impact on our profitability going forward.

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs associated with becoming a standalone public company.
