Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Business unit performance and market dynamics
Suspension business derives about 70% of turnover from stabilizer bars, with major new projects tied to German OEMs and platform changes expected to impact volumes from 2027-2028.
High cost pressure is present due to European OEMs' concerns over Chinese competition, leading to aggressive cost reduction efforts.
Exposure to Chinese customers is split 54% air and cooling, 44% suspension, with focus on emerging OEMs like Xiaomi and XPeng rather than established players like BYD or Geely.
Stellantis exposure is roughly 50/50 between suspension and air and cooling, with compensation for project cancellations managed through new project awards or cash settlements.
Air and cooling business is ramping up new battery vehicle programs, but current exposure to battery electric vehicles remains low.
Operational efficiency and capacity utilization
Suspension plant saturation is around 60-63%, with ongoing footprint optimization including production shifts from France to Romania, Italy, Spain, and other French plants.
Romanian suspension plant turnaround is complete, with capacity for an additional 30% volume.
Air and cooling plants are at or near full capacity in China, North America, and Romania, with only the French plant operating at 60-65% saturation.
Expansion plans include a new facility in China and increased capacity in Mexico and India to support new programs and market growth.
Financial management and profitability outlook
Most raw material and energy cost fluctuations are contractually passed through to customers, with some delay due to index-based adjustments.
Suspension aims for a 2% adjusted EBITDA growth by 2029, driven by industrial optimization and automation.
CapEx allocation is about 60% to air and cooling, mainly for capacity expansion and new product investments in North America.
Working capital requirements are higher in suspension due to raw material needs.
Margins in air and cooling are impacted by turnover mix and directed buy arrangements, with improvements expected post-2026.

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.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
