Current wording
Acquisition of Swedish Electromagnet Invest AB (SEM)
Previous wording
On June 10, 2025, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Swedish Electromagnet Invest AB (SEM), a prominent provider of advanced natural gas, hydrogen and other alternative fuel ignition systems, injector stators and linear position sensors for approximately $47 million. The acquisition is expected to generate approximately $50 million of annual revenue and approximately $10 million of annual adjusted EBITDA. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.
Current wording

Previous wording
Commodities and Other Inflationary Impacts. Prices for commodities remain volatile, and since the beginning of 2021, the Company’s business has experienced price increases for base metals (e.g., steel, aluminum and copper) but have mostly stabilized in 2025 compared to 2024. New trade restrictions, including export controls, and/or increases in tariffs could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations by increasing our input costs and decreasing demand in the commercial vehicle (CV) and light vehicle (LV) markets, although the nature of those trade restrictions and tariffs remains unclear. Additionally, these tariffs increase the risk for elevated inflation more generally, which may be driving an increase in other input costs. As a result, the Company may experience higher costs, especially with respect to products imported from certain regions subject to significant tariff increases, including, but not limited to, Mexico and China.
Current wording
The automotive industry is currently grappling with renewed semi-conductor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and economic and geopolitical tensions. These factors may affect production, pricing, and consumer demand. In addition, new trade restrictions, including export controls, and/or increases in tariffs could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, including increasing our input costs and decreasing demand in the commercial vehicle (CV) and light vehicle (LV) markets, although the nature of those trade restrictions and tariffs remains unclear. These new trade restrictions and tariffs increase the risk for elevated inflation more generally, which may drive an increase in other input costs. While the impact as of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was not material, in the future the Company may experience higher costs and material impact, especially with respect to products imported from certain regions subject to significant tariff increases, including, but not limited to, Mexico and China.
Previous wording
We expect earnings and cash generation in 2025 to be challenged as we expect a softening of the original equipment markets to outpace our ability to drive operational efficiencies and grow our Aftermarket sales. Continued economic and political uncertainty has caused the CV and LV markets to soften. LV volumes in our key markets for 2025 are expected to decline by mid-single digit percentages. CV volumes in our key markets are expected to decline by low-single digit percentages. Assuming constant foreign exchange rates and excluding sales from acquisitions, we expect flat to a modest increase in sales. Additionally, we may be impacted by other macroeconomic challenges in 2025, including but not limited to inflation, supply chain constraints, market volatility, higher tariffs relevant to our operations (particularly in Mexico and China) and changes in international trade relations.

Previous wording
The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its global business and is committed to new product development and strategic investments to enhance its product leadership strategy. There are several trends that are driving the Company’s long-term growth that management expects to continue, including market share expansion in the CV market, growth in overall vehicle parc that supports aftermarket demand, increased consumer interest in hybrid and plug-in vehicles, and adoption of additional product offerings enabling zero- and lower-carbon fuel solutions for combustion vehicles. In addition, we believe we are well positioned to continue to expand our differentiated offerings and capabilities across electronics, software and complete systems.
