PHINIA Inc. (NYSE:PHIN), a leader in premium fuel systems, electrical systems, and aftermarket solutions, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter Highlights:

Completed the acquisition of Swedish Electromagnet Invest AB (SEM), a provider of advanced natural gas, hydrogen and other alternative fuel ignition systems, injector stators and linear position sensors for approximately $47 million.
Net sales of $908 million, an increase of 8.2% compared with Q3 2024.
- Excluding the impacts of foreign currency and the acquisition of SEM, increases of $19 million and $8 million, respectively, adjusted sales increased $43 million or 5.1%, primarily driven by customer pricing, tariff recoveries and increased volumes in Asia and the Americas.
Net earnings of $13 million and net margin of 1.4%, representing a year-over-year decrease of $18 million and 230 basis points (bps), respectively, primarily driven by a one-time loss in connection with the settlement of separation-related claims.
Adjusted EBITDA of $133 million with adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.6%, representing a year-over-year increase of $13 million and 30 bps, respectively, primarily driven by research and development savings and partially offset by increased employee costs and unfavorable product mix.
Net earnings per diluted share of $0.33.
- Adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $1.59 (excluding $1.26 per diluted share related to non-operating items detailed in the non-GAAP appendix below), reflecting the operational increases detailed above and a reduction in share count.
Returned $41 million to shareholders through $30 million of share repurchases and $11 million in dividends.

Key Wins in Strategic Growth Markets:

New business wins remained strong, notable Q3 wins include:

New, next generation canister technology with leak detection devices in a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) for a leading North American OEM on two hybrid light commercial vehicle programs.
Award to supply a brushless alternator for industrial applications to a leading Off-Highway OEM in Asia, specifically for use in mining haul trucks.
Secured new business and achieved first win with a leading Chinese OEM for a gasoline direct injection (GDi) fuel rail assembly and controller for light passenger vehicle and light commercial vehicle applications.
Expanded market-leading product coverage and grew share of wallet with a major Middle Eastern customer.
Signed an agreement with a new, large customer in the United Kingdom for braking and suspension components.
New starter and alternator business with additional distributors in North America.

"Third-quarter results reflect the strength of our strategy and dedication of our team," said Brady Ericson, President and Chief Executive Officer of PHINIA. "We're proud to report one of our strongest quarters to date, and we owe this success to the talent, resilience, and collaboration of our employees worldwide. Their commitment continues to drive our momentum and deliver value to our customers and shareholders. Despite external headwinds, we remain focused on operational excellence and long-term value creation."

"We also focused on the integration of SEM, a strategic move aligned with PHINIA's broader growth roadmap. This initial step in our growth strategy opens the door to new opportunities and reinforces our position in the industry," Ericson added.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $349 million and $499 million of available capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility. Total debt at quarter end was $992 million.

Net cash generated by operating activities was $119 million, representing a year-over-year increase of $24 million. Adjusted free cash flow was $104 million compared to $60 million in Q3 2024, primarily due to higher earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and deferred income and lower prepaid assets.

2025 Full Year Guidance:

The Company updated its full year 2025 guidance, incorporating the expected 2025 performance of the SEM business. Net sales is expected to be in the range of $3.39 billion to $3.45 billion. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, contract manufacturing arrangements in 2024, and the acquisition in 2025, this implies a year-over-year sales range of 1% decline to flat in 2025. The Company's net earnings and adjusted EBITDA are projected to be $100 million to $110 million and $465 million to $480 million, respectively, with net earnings margin of 2.9% to 3.2% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.6% to 14.0%. The Company expects to generate $175 million to $205 million in adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted tax rate is expected to be in the range of 33% to 37%.

The Company will host a conference call to review third quarter 2025 results and take questions from the investment community at 8:30 a.m. ET today. This call will be webcast at PHINIA Q3 2025 Earnings Call. Additional presentation materials will be available at Investors.phinia.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains information about PHINIA's financial results that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. The reconciliations include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this press release and the adjustments that management can reasonably predict.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management, investors, and banking institutions in their analysis of the Company's business and operating performance. Management also uses this information for operational planning and decision-making purposes.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered a substitute for any GAAP measure. Additionally, because not all companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented by PHINIA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of each of projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

The Company defines adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as net earnings less interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring expense, separation-related costs, merger and acquisition expense, other postretirement income and expense, equity in affiliates' earnings, net of tax, impairment charges, other net expenses, and other gains and losses not reflective of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted sales. Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in its financial decision-making process and to evaluate performance of the Company's consolidated results. Management also believes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing consolidated financial performance, as they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance.

Adjusted Sales

The Company defines adjusted sales as net sales adjusted to exclude certain agreements with our former parent that were entered into in connection with the spin-off. Management believes that adjusted sales is useful to investors, as it provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain temporary agreements with our former parent that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings Per Diluted Share

The Company defines adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share as net earnings and net earnings per share, each adjusted to exclude: (i) the tax-effected impact of restructuring expense, separation-related costs, merger and acquisition expense, impairment charges and other gains, losses and tax effects and adjustments not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations; and (ii) acquisition-related intangibles amortization expense because it pertains to non-cash expenses that the Company does not use to evaluate core operating performance. Management believes that adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share are useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance, as they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities after adding back adjustments related to the ongoing effects of separation-related transactions, less capital expenditures, including tooling outlays. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors in assessing the Company's ability to service and repay its debt and return capital to shareholders. Further, management uses this non-GAAP measure for planning and forecasting purposes.
