• Visteon Announces First-Quarter 2023 Results

    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 27 4月 2023 05:55:00   America/Chicago

    VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC) today reported first quarter financial results. Highlights include:

    • Sales of $967 million, up 22%1 from prior year
    • 16th consecutive quarter of growth-over-market
    • Net income of $34 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $99 million or 10.2% of sales
    • $1.5 billion in new business wins
    • $135 million in net cash at quarter end

    Visteon reported net sales of $967 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 22% excluding the negative currency impact of 4%. Total industry vehicle production increased 6%, while vehicle production at Visteon’s top customers increased 9%. Visteon's sales outperformed customer vehicle production volumes for the 16th consecutive quarter driven by the continued high demand for Visteon’s digital cockpit products.

    Gross margin in the first quarter was $110 million, and net income attributable to Visteon was $34 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined below, was $99 million for the first quarter or 10.2% of sales, an increase of $28 million compared to the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA reflects the favorable impact of higher sales volumes and timing of customer recoveries, partially offset by higher engineering and SG&A expenses supporting business growth, as well as an unfavorable foreign exchange impact.

    The company won $1.5 billion in new business in the first quarter, demonstrating its ongoing success in electrification and continued leadership in digital cockpit technologies. First quarter wins included a follow-on win with a global OEM for a previously announced wireless battery management system program. This follow-on win adds incremental electric vehicle models to the program, including electric versions of the OEM’s flagship truck and full-size SUV. Additional wins in the quarter included an infotainment and display system for an Indian OEM as well as a follow-on SmartCore™ program win with a Chinese OEM for their luxury electric brand.

    Visteon’s products launched on 34 vehicle models in the first quarter of the year which will directly contribute to the company’s near-term sales growth. Key new launches include a 12.3-inch digital cluster on General Motors’ Silverado and Sierra Heavy Duty trucks, a SmartCore™ program on Geely’s Zeekr X crossover CUV, and a digital cluster and audio system on the Ford Ranger for South America.

    For the first three months, cash used by operations was $19 million and capital expenditures were $21 million. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, for the first three months of 2023 was a use of cash of $37 million. The company ended the first quarter with cash of $487 million and debt of $352 million, representing a net cash position of $135 million.

    “I am proud of Visteon’s performance to start the year,” said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “Our continued strong performance is driven by our best-in-class product portfolio and focus on operational and commercial discipline.”

    Visteon is maintaining its full-year 2023 guidance and anticipates sales in the range of $3.95 – $4.15 billion, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $405 – $445 million, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the range of $115 – $165 million.

    Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuring and impairment expense, provision for income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, net interest expense, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

    Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies, and (iii) because the Company's credit agreements use similar measures for compliance with certain covenants.

    Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's liquidity that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company's ability to service and repay its debt. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, including intangibles. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, including intangibles as further adjusted for restructuring related payments. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

    Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be a substitute for cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools as they do not reflect cash used to service debt and do not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. In addition, the Company uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (i) as factors in incentive compensation decisions and (ii) for planning and forecasting future periods.

    Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are presented as supplemental measures that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company's profitability, providing comparability between periods by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring business operating results. The Company believes management and investors benefit from referring to these supplemental measures in assessing company performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income attributable to Visteon adjusted to eliminate the impact of restructuring and impairment expense, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
