Q1 2025 saw improved margins and production sales over Q4, but year-over-year results declined due to lower volumes and ongoing tariff uncertainty.

Q2 2024 saw record adjusted EBITDA and strong free cash flow, with steady performance across regions despite EV headwinds and inflation. Guidance for 2024 remains unchanged, supported by operational improvements, new business wins, and disciplined capital allocation.
