AUBURN HILLS, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
PHINIA Inc. (NYSE: PHIN), a leader in premium fuel systems, electrical systems, and aftermarket solutions, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:

Net sales of $889 million, an increase of 6.7% compared with Q4 2024.
- Excluding the impacts of foreign currency and acquisitions, increases of $25 million and $12 million, respectively, net sales increased $19 million or 2.3%, primarily driven by tariff recoveries and increased volumes in Asia and Americas, partially offset by reduced volumes in Europe.

Net earnings of $45 million and net margin of 5.1%, representing a year-over-year increase of $40 million and 450 bps, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA of $116 million, representing a year-over-year increase of $6 million primarily driven by research and development and supply chain savings and tariff recoveries, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.0%, a year-over-year decrease of 20 bps primarily driven by unfavorable product mix and foreign currency, partially offset by research and development and supply chain savings.

Net earnings per diluted share of $1.15.
- Adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $1.18 (excluding $0.03 per diluted share related to non-comparable items detailed in the non-GAAP appendix below), primarily driven by a lower provision for income taxes, the operational increases detailed above and a reduction in share count.

Returned $40 million to shareholders through $30 million of share repurchases and $10 million in dividends.

Full Year 2025 Highlights:

Net sales of $3.48 billion, an increase of 2.4% compared with full year 2024.
- Excluding the impacts of contract manufacturing arrangements that ended in 2024, a decrease of $23 million, and foreign currency and the acquisition of SEM, increases of $45 million and $20 million, respectively, sales increased $38 million or 1.1%, primarily driven by tariff recoveries.

Net earnings of $130 million and net margin of 3.7%, representing a year-over-year increase of $51 million and 140 bps, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA of $478 million was flat year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.7%, lower by 40 bps, primarily due to the dilutive effect of tariff recoveries. Excluding the impacts of the tariff dilution and foreign currency, adjusted EBITDA margin was consistent with 2024.

Net earnings per diluted share of $3.24.
- Adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $4.96 (excluding $1.72 per diluted share related to non-comparable items detailed in the non-GAAP appendix below), primarily driven by a lower provision for income taxes and a reduction in share count.

Returned $242 million to shareholders through $200 million of share repurchases and $42 million in dividends.

Key Wins in Strategic Growth Markets:

New and incumbent business wins remained strong, notable wins include:

Securing our third aerospace and defense contract for a post-combustion fuel valve, highlighting our proven capabilities and strengthening our position in this sector

Key truck contract extensions with global commercial vehicle OEMs, reaffirming the strength and longevity of our strategic partnerships

New business win in India with a leading OEM for Port Fuel Injectors used with Compressed Natural Gas (PFI-CNG), underscoring our dedication to lower carbon mobility and commitment to alternative fuel systems

Achieved strong growth in our Aftermarket segment by adding approximately 5,800 new SKUs across our portfolio, new wins with starter and alternator distributors in North America, conquest wins with gasoline fueling distributors in the United States and South America, and a new vehicle electronics program in France

Brady Ericson, President and Chief Executive Officer of PHINIA commented: “Q4 capped a year of disciplined execution. We navigated evolving tariffs through our operational depth and strong customer partnerships. Despite softer markets, our results were resilient—reflecting the strength of our strategy and the commitment of our team. Looking ahead to 2026, we are focused on driving organic growth through continued execution and targeted innovation, sustaining strong value creation for our customers and shareholders.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:

The Company ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $359 million and $500 million of available capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility. Total debt at year-end was $970 million.

Net cash generated by operating activities was $312 million for the year, representing a year-over-year increase of $4 million. Adjusted free cash flow was $212 million compared to $253 million in 2024, primarily due to higher capital expenditures and higher prepaid assets.

2026 Full Year Guidance:

The Company expects 2026 net sales of $3.52 billion to $3.72 billion. This implies a year-over-year growth of 1% to 7% in 2026. The Company’s net earnings and adjusted EBITDA are projected to be $165 million to $195 million and $485 million to $525 million, respectively, with net earnings margin of 4.7% to 5.2% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.7% to 14.3%. The Company expects to generate $200 million to $240 million in adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted tax rate is expected to be in the range of 30% to 34%.

¹In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company made a strategic decision to shift a significant portion of the OES business, previously reported in its Aftermarket segment, to the Fuel Systems segment, as distribution will now be handled by the Fuel Systems locations that manufacture the products. This is expected to streamline the sales structure to external customers while also reducing administrative efforts. The reporting segment disclosures have been updated accordingly which included recasting prior period information for the new reporting structure.

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 costs, 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 costs, 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.
