Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized strong operational achievements (quality, safety, manufacturing efficiencies), meaningful cost savings, improved full-year adjusted EBITDA and liquidity, and a constructive outlook supported by nearly $300M in new business awards and explicit 2026 margin targets. Near-term challenges were acknowledged — notably a Q4 production disruption, a substantial drop in quarterly EBITDA margin, inflationary wage pressures, and refinancing timing risk — but management presented credible actions and identified a clear path to margin expansion and positive cash flow in 2026. Overall, the positives (operational momentum, new awards, cost savings, improved full-year results, and solid liquidity) outweigh the short-term headwinds.Company Guidance
Operational Excellence & Safety
Exceptional operational metrics: 99% green product quality scorecards and 98% green program launch scorecards. Best year ever for employee safety with a safety incident rate of 0.24 per 200,000 hours (well below the 0.47 benchmark) and 31 plants with zero reportable incidents.
Full-Year Adjusted EBITDA Growth
Full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $209.7 million, up from $180.7 million in 2024 (increase of ~$29.0 million, ~16% year-over-year), and reported at the high end of the company's guidance range.
Improved Full-Year Profitability (GAAP and Adjusted)
Full year sales of $2.74 billion, up 0.4% versus 2024. GAAP net loss improved significantly to $4.2 million in 2025 from a net loss of $78.7 million in 2024. Adjusted net loss improved to $30.9 million (or $1.73 per diluted share) from $56.7 million (or $3.23) in 2024.
Material Cost Savings and Operating Leverage
Realized major cost savings and efficiency gains: $64 million from manufacturing and purchasing efficiencies and an additional $18 million of year-over-year savings related to salaried reductions; combined initiatives contributed to a 24% improvement in operating income for the year.
Strong New Business Awards and Strategic Product Wins
Booked $298 million in net new business awards in 2025. Of these awards, 74% were tied to value-add innovations and 74% related to battery-electric or hybrid platforms; 51% of new awards were with Chinese OEMs, supporting future growth and margin expansion.
Liquidity and Cash Generation
Ended 2025 with robust liquidity of over $352 million (cash of $191.7 million and $160.9 million revolver availability). Generated positive free cash flow for the full year of $16.3 million and strong Q4 free cash flow of $44.6 million; Q4 operating cash flow $56 million.
Positive 2026 Outlook and Margin Guidance
Company expects ~3% sales growth in 2026 (industry-based), targets double-digit EBITDA margin for full-year 2026, and provided a bridge to ~$280 million adjusted EBITDA in 2026 (up from $209.7M in 2025). Management expects continued margin expansion, decreasing net leverage to ~2x or lower by 2028, and a goal to triple ROIC by 2028.
