Executive summary
Third quarter 2025 sales reached $6.3 billion, up 4.9% year-over-year, with sequential improvement in both U.S. Automotive and Motion segments, driven by comparable sales, acquisitions, and favorable currency impacts.
Adjusted EBITDA grew 10.4% year-over-year to $526 million, with margin expansion in both segments; adjusted diluted EPS was $1.98, up 5.3%.
Net income for Q3 was $226 million, flat year-over-year, as higher depreciation, interest expense, and restructuring costs offset sales growth.
Results were in line with expectations, reflecting disciplined execution and adaptation to inflation, tariffs, and cautious consumer sentiment.
Cash from operations for the quarter was $511 million, and year-to-date working capital stood at $1.3 billion.
Financial highlights
Gross margin expanded by 60 basis points to 37.4% year-over-year, driven by strategic sourcing, pricing, and acquisitions.
SG&A as a percentage of sales was flat at 28.8%, with core SG&A up 2.7% due to inflation in wages and rent, offset by $36 million in restructuring benefits.
Free cash flow for the first nine months was $160 million, impacted by lower earnings, higher taxes, and interest.
Cash and cash equivalents at quarter-end were $431 million, with $1.1 billion in undrawn credit capacity.
$421 million returned to shareholders via dividends in the first nine months.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance narrowed to $7.50–$7.75 (from $7.50–$8.00); GAAP EPS expected at $6.55–$6.80.
Revenue growth guidance raised to 3%–4% for 2025, with automotive segment expected to grow 4%–5% and industrial 2%–3%.
Restructuring expenses for 2025 expected at $180–$210 million, with $110–$135 million in benefits; over $200 million in annualized cost savings targeted by 2026.
Anticipated cash from operations for 2025 is $1.1–$1.3 billion; free cash flow $700–$900 million.
One-time non-cash charge of $650–$750 million expected in Q4 for U.S. pension plan termination.

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.
