Strong demand in our Light Duty business drove total net sales growth of 7.6% compared to last year’s second quarter. Additionally, we continued to drive cost savings across the enterprise through our supply chain diversification, productivity, and automation initiatives, which contributed to a 25% increase in diluted EPS and a 23% increase in adjusted diluted EPS over the same period. “With our strong performance through the first half of the year, along with our improved outlook, and the timing dynamics of when pricing and costs will be recognized from tariffs, we are raising our net sales and diluted EPS guidance ranges.

[1] – Pretax acquisition-related intangible asset amortization results from allocating the purchase price of acquisitions to the acquired tangible and intangible assets of the acquired business and recognizing the cost of the intangible asset over the period of benefit.

[3] – Pretax reduction in workforce costs represents costs incurred in connection with our planned workforce reduction including severance and other payroll-related costs, insurance continuation costs, modifications of share-based compensation awards, and other costs directly attributable to the action. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, the expenses were $0.0 million pretax (or $0.0 million after tax) and $0.1 million pretax (or $0.1 million after tax), respectively. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, the expenses were $0.3 million pretax (or $0.2 million after tax) and $4.9 million pretax (or $3.7 million after tax), respectively.
