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, 2024.
Third Quarter Highlights:
- Net sales of $839 million, a decrease of 6.4% compared with Q3
2023.
- Lower Fuel Systems (FS) sales in Europe and China partially
offset by strong Aftermarket segment sales in Europe led to lower
net sales compared to Q3 2023.
- Excluding the effects of contract manufacturing that ended in
the quarter, adjusted sales were $838 million, down 3.7%
year-over-year.
- Operating income of $66 million and operating margin of 7.9%,
representing a year-over-year increase of $20 million and 280 basis
points (bps), respectively.
- Primarily driven by lower separation and transaction expenses
and lower supplier and inflationary costs partially offset by lower
revenues.
- Adjusted operating income of $87 million and adjusted operating
income margin of 10.4%, representing a year-over-year increase of
$5 million and 100 bps, respectively.
- Net earnings of $31 million and net margin of 3.7%,
representing a year-over-year increase of $32 million and 380 bps,
respectively.
- Net earnings per diluted share of $0.70.
- Adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $1.17 (excluding
$0.47 per diluted share related to non-comparable items detailed in
the non-GAAP appendix below).
- Adjusted EBITDA of $120 million with adjusted EBITDA margin of
14.3%, representing a year-over-year increase of $3 million and 90
bps, respectively.
- Increased pricing for the Aftermarket segment combined with
cost controls in both segments led to margin expansion.
- Net cash generated by operating activities of $95 million,
representing a year-over-year decrease of $60 million.
- Adjusted free cash flow was $60 million.
- Repurchased $75 million of outstanding shares with $188 million
remaining on $400 million share repurchase program.
- In the quarter, the Board increased authorization on share
repurchase program by $250 million, from $150 million to $400
million.
- Issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior
unsecured notes due 2032. Net proceeds used in part to repay all of
the Company’s outstanding borrowings under its Term Loan A
Facility.
Key Wins in Strategic Growth Markets:
New business wins remained strong across all end markets. A few
examples of new business awards in Q3 are:
- Second product win in the off-highway diesel market with an
electronically-controlled, low pressure common rail injection
system for compact diesel engines for use in excavators, forklifts,
and generators and designed to reduce emissions and increase fuel
efficiency.
- Conquest win in India’s growing combustion market with a
European automaker for an LV GDi 1.0L pump.
- Conquest GDi win with a US automaker for use in a high-volume
application for light duty trucks and luxury SUVs.
- Our Aftermarket segment renewed our agreement with one of our
largest global independent aftermarket customer groups; Signed a
first-time agreement with a major customer group in Europe; and
signed a new agreement with a North American customer to expand
cooperation into their business in Mexico.
Brady Ericson, President and Chief Executive Officer of PHINIA
commented: “PHINIA achieved excellent financial performance in the
third quarter of 2024, despite revenue softness in some markets.
Our team’s ability to meet increased Aftermarket demand while
flexing overheads in appropriate parts of the business enabled
expansion of adjusted EBITDA margins by 90 basis points, and
generation of $60 million in adjusted free cash flow. We continue
to book high quality, bottom line accretive new business in both
the Fuel Systems and Aftermarket segments demonstrating the ongoing
success of our strategy.”
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of
$477 million and $499 million of available capacity under its
Revolving Credit Facility. Long-term debt at quarter end was $987
million.
Capital expenditures during the quarter were $25 million with
the funds primarily used for investments in new machinery and
equipment for new program launches. Dividends paid to shareholders
in the quarter were $10 million, while share repurchases totaled
$75 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $95
million and adjusted free cash flow was $60 million.
2024 Full Year Guidance:
Given the softening of the end vehicle markets, the Company is
revising its full-year 2024 guidance and now expects net sales of
$3.36 billion to $3.41 billion and adjusted sales of $3.34 billion
to $3.39 billion. The refined net earnings and adjusted EBITDA are
projected at $105 million to $125 million and $470 million to $490
million, respectively, resulting in earnings margin of 3.1% and
3.7% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.1% to 14.5%. PHINIA continues
to expect to generate $160 million to $200 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
2024 results and take questions from the investment community at
8:30 a.m. ET today. This call will be webcast at PHINIA Q3 2024 Earnings Call. Additional

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 and transaction
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.
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating
Margin
The Company defines adjusted operating income as operating
income adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring expense,
separation and transaction costs, intangible asset amortization
expense, impairment charges, other net expenses, and other gains
and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations.
Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income
divided by adjusted sales.
Adjusted Sales
The Company defines adjusted sales as net sales adjusted to
exclude certain agreements with BorgWarner that were entered into
in connection with the spin-off.
Adjusted Net Earnings Per Diluted Share
The Company defines adjusted net earnings per diluted share as
net earnings per share adjusted to exclude the tax-effected impact
of restructuring expense, separation and transaction costs,
impairment charges, other net expenses, and other gains, losses and
tax amounts not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations.
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.
