Business transformation and portfolio changes

  • Executed $2.7B sale of off-highway business to Allison Transmission, reducing segments from four to two and streamlining operations.

  • Proceeds used for share buybacks, reducing share count from 130M to 115M and achieving near net debt neutrality.

  • Off-highway sale driven by board-level analysis to fund electrification opportunities and address undervaluation in stock price.

  • Stock responded positively to both the sale announcement and deal closure, reflecting shareholder alignment.

Margin improvement and cost initiatives

  • Set a target to restore margins to 10–10.5% by 2026, with $310M in cost reductions identified and $235M expected in the current fiscal year.

  • Streamlined management, consolidated business segments, and reduced EV investment due to market contraction.

  • Additional $100M in cost savings targeted through automation, plant rationalization, and product line optimization.

  • Aftermarket business, previously underinvested, now a focus for margin and growth opportunities.

Market conditions and growth opportunities

  • Commercial vehicle market remains weak, with no signs of recovery expected in 2026; guidance assumes continued softness.

  • EV business at $700M, but North American SUV electrification has stalled and CV EV volumes are sharply down.

  • Strategic pivot to focus on existing customers with ICE exposure, leveraging a natural hedge and securing capital recoveries.

  • Gaining share in large SUV and commercial vehicle markets, supported by new USMCA-compliant operations in Mexico.

  • Defense and power sports segments identified as $200–300M growth opportunities, with plans to resource and pursue them.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
