Revenue for the period was $2.2 billion, up 7% compared with the first half of 2024. Nexteer continued growth momentum with China domestic OEMs (COEMs), with approximately US$0.6 billion, or 39%, of bookings generated by our COEMs' business. Total bookings for 1H 2025 were US$1.5 billion. "Nexteer continues to outperform the market by delivering innovation, securing strategic programs and investing in operational excellence, even amid ongoing volatility in global vehicle production," said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), and Executive Board Director, Nexteer Automotive. "We remain confident in our ability to sustain momentum and deliver long-term value for our customers and stakeholders." First Half 2025 Financial Results In the first half of 2025, Nexteer delivered strong financial performance with revenue of US$2.2 billion, representing a 7% year-over-year increase, outpacing the market by 450 basis points. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2025 was US$230.4 million, an increase of US$33.1 million or 16.8% compared to the same period in 2024. The improved profitability was driven by higher volumes, enhanced efficiency and performance. Free cash flow improved to $36.7 million in the first half of 2025, compared with an outflow of $6.6 million in the same period last year. This improvement was driven by higher earnings and reduced capital expenditure, partially offset by increased working capital investment. Program Launch & Bookings Highlights The company launched 31 new customer programs, including its first dual-pinion electric power steering (DPEPS) program in China and first modular column-assist electric power steering (mCEPS) launch in Europe. Of these, 23 were new or conquest programs and 21 supported fully electric vehicle platforms – further demonstrating alignment with mobility megatrends and Nexteer's ability to tailor scalable solutions for EV and ICE applications. Nexteer secured $1.5 billion in new customer program bookings during the first half. Of those, 74% represented new or conquest business and 39% were tied to fully electric vehicle platforms.
