“Overall, our second quarter operating performance largely met our expectations, despite lower than anticipated volumes on certain key vehicle programs in North America. Our focus remains on factors we can control, including operational excellence, cost reductions, and flawless launches. These efforts, together with ongoing customer commercial discussions are enabling us to substantially maintain our 2024 Adjusted EBIT margin range. Our updated 2026 Outlook reflects customer program updates and a tempered view on mid-term electric vehicle penetration rates, particularly in North America. While we have reduced our sales forecast, we are taking a number of concrete actions to mitigate the sales impacts and continue to expect margin expansion and strong free cash flow growth.”
