VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ:VC) today reported first quarter financial results. Highlights include:

Sales of $934 million with Growth-over-Market of 10%¹
Net income of $65 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $129 million
Operating cash flow of $70 million and adjusted free cash flow of $38 million
Healthy balance sheet with net cash of $343 million at quarter end
New business wins of $1.9 billion and 16 new product launches

First Quarter Results

Visteon reported net sales of $934 million, compared to $933 million in the prior year, despite a declining production environment. We delivered 10% outperformance relative to customer vehicle production, driven by the ramp-up of recent product launches for our digital cockpit products. Our market outperformance was partially offset by reduced customer recoveries, annual pricing, and currency.

Gross margin in the first quarter was $138 million. Net income attributable to Visteon was $65 million or $2.36 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was $129 million in the first quarter and reflects the strong focus on operational execution and cost discipline, lower year-over-year net engineering and SG&A costs due to resource optimization and strong cost controls, and favorable one-time commercial items.

For the first three months of 2025, cash from operations was $70 million, capital expenditures were $35 million and adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was $38 million. The Company ended the first quarter with cash of $658 million and debt of $315 million. Our strong balance sheet, with a net cash position of $343 million, provides the flexibility needed to navigate uncertainty from tariffs while supporting future capital allocation.

Visteon secured $1.9 billion in new business in the first quarter, including nearly $1 billion of wins with OEMs in Asia excluding China and multiple wins for the two-wheeler market, demonstrating continued progress with our strategic initiatives. First quarter wins also included a conquest win with a domestic Chinese OEM for a large, curved display, a digital cluster for a large SUV platform with a Japanese OEM, a dual display for the electric SUV and trucks platform with a global OEM, and multiple digital cluster programs with two-wheeler OEMs in India.

Visteon launched 16 new products in the first quarter driven primarily by mass market adoption of digital cockpit products and flexible BMS technology that enabled launches of electrification products on both hybrid and EV models. Key first quarter launches include an infotainment system for the Ford Puma and digital cluster and infotainment system for the electric Ford Transit in Europe, digital clusters on the Volkswagen Jetta, Dacia Bigster, and Mitsubishi Xforce, and electrification launches on multiple vehicles, including the hybrid Buick GL8 in China.

"Our first quarter results reflect robust demand for our next-generation products while remaining committed to operational excellence and investing in future growth," said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. "We secured significant new business, including additional wins with Asian and two-wheeler OEMs. These wins and our new product launches highlight the deep alignment between industry trends and our technology portfolio."

Financial Outlook

The outlook for the automotive industry has become more uncertain due to the evolving dynamics related to tariffs. The negative impact to industry production volumes as well as the cost incurred by Visteon will depend on a variety of factors that are uncertain at this time. Given this uncertainty, Visteon is not reaffirming full-year 2025 guidance. We will update our guidance once visibility improves.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net interest expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, net restructuring expense, equity in net (income)/loss of non-consolidated affiliates, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies, and (iii) because the Company's credit agreements use similar measures for compliance with certain covenants.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's liquidity that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company's ability to service and repay its debt. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, including intangibles. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, including intangibles as further adjusted for restructuring related payments. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be a substitute for cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

In addition, the Company uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (i) as factors in incentive compensation decisions and (ii) for planning and forecasting future periods.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are presented as supplemental measures that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company's profitability, providing comparability between periods by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring business operating results. The Company believes management and investors benefit from referring to these supplemental measures in assessing company performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income attributable to Visteon adjusted to eliminate the impact of restructuring expense, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
