Power 2024 U.S. Seat Quality and Satisfaction StudySM, including a sweep of all three awards in the Premium Car category "Lear delivered solid results in 2024 despite continuing macroeconomic and industry headwinds, with both segments outgrowing the market. Strong cash flow generation enabled us to return $574 million of cash through share repurchases and dividends. Margins in E-Systems improved for the second consecutive year, and investments in automation through IDEA by Lear and footprint optimization will improve margins in both segments," said Ray Scott, Lear's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In Seating, we are expanding our market share by growing with all customers, particularly the Chinese domestic automakers while our innovative solutions are reducing cost and complexity. We launched the industry's first ComfortFlexTM module, combining heat, ventilation and massage, and validated the first ComfortMax SeatTM. Our relentless focus on the factors we can control sets Lear up for long-term growth and margin expansion that will allow us to continue to return capital to our shareholders." Fourth Quarter Financial Results (in millions, except per share amounts) 2024 2023 Reported Sales $5,714.6 $5,841.2 Net income $88.1 $127.3 Earnings per share $1.61 $2.18 Adjusted(1) Core operating earnings $257.7 $287.7 Adjusted net income $161.0 $177.0 Adjusted earnings per share $2.94 $3.03 In the fourth quarter, global vehicle production was up 1% compared to a year ago, with North America down 3%, Europe down 8% and China up 8%. Global vehicle production was down 1% on a Lear sales-weighted basis(2). Sales in the fourth quarter were $5.7 billion, representing a year-over-year decrease of 2%. Excluding the impact of commodities, foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, sales were also down 2%, reflecting lower production on key Lear platforms, partially offset by the addition of new business in both of our business segments. Core operating earnings were $257.7 million, or 4.5% of sales, as compared to $287.7 million, or 4.9% of sales, in 2023. Earnings were impacted by lower production on key Lear platforms, partially offset by the addition of new business and positive operating performance. Net income was $88.1 million, as compared to $127.3 million in 2023. In the Seating segment, margins and adjusted margins were 5.5% and 6.1% of sales, respectively. In the E-Systems segment, margins and adjusted margins were 3.8% and 5.0% of sales, respectively. Earnings per share were $1.61 and adjusted earnings per share were $2.94, as compared to $2.18 and $3.03, respectively, a year ago. In the fourth quarter of 2024, net cash from operating activities was $681 million, and free cash flow(1) was $489 million. Full Year Financial Results(in millions, except per share amounts) 2024 2023 Reported Sales $23,306.0 $23,466.9 Net income $506.6 $572.5 Earnings per share $8.97 $9.68 Adjusted(1) Core operating earnings $1,096.1 $1,120.0 Adjusted net income $712.8 $710.3 Adjusted earnings per share $12.62 $12.02 For the full year 2024, global vehicle production declined by 1% compared to a year ago, with North America down 1%, Europe down 5% and China up 4%. Global vehicle production declined 2% on a Lear sales-weighted basis(2). Sales for the full year were $23.3 billion, representing a year-over-year decrease of 1%. Excluding the impact of commodities, foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, sales were flat, reflecting lower production on key Lear platforms, offset by the addition of new business in both of our business segments and the impact from commercial recoveries. Core operating earnings were $1,096 million, or 4.7% of sales, as compared to $1,120 million, or 4.8% of sales, in 2023. Earnings were impacted by lower production on key Lear platforms, partially offset by positive operating performance and the addition of new business. In the Seating segment, margins and adjusted margins were 5.7% and 6.5% of sales, respectively. In the E-Systems segment, margins and adjusted margins were 4.1% and 5.1% of sales, respectively. Earnings per share were $8.97, as compared to $9.68 in 2023. Adjusted earnings per share increased 5% to $12.62, up from $12.02 in 2023, reflecting the benefit of our share repurchase program and higher earnings. For the full year of 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,120 million, and free cash flow(1) was $561 million. (1) For more information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Information" below. (2) The global and regional production changes are based on S&P Global estimates. The production change on a Lear sales-weighted basis is calculated using Lear's prior year regional sales mix and fourth quarter fiscal calendar. Management believes this provides a more meaningful comparison of the Company's global revenue growth relative to global vehicle production. Share Repurchase ProgramDuring the fourth quarter of 2024, Lear repurchased 1,009,079 shares of our common stock for a total of $101 million. At the end of the fourth quarter, we had a remaining share repurchase authorization of approximately $1.1 billion, which reflects approximately 22% of our total market capitalization at current market prices. Since initiating the share repurchase program in 2011, we have repurchased 59.1 million shares of our common stock for a total of $5.6 billion at an average price of $94.54 per share. This represents a reduction of approximately 56% of our shares outstanding since the time we began the program. 2025-2026 Sales BacklogThe consolidated two-year 2025-2026 core sales backlog is $1.3 billion and will drive continued global revenue growth and sales diversification. The sales backlog has been impacted by launch delays and lower than originally expected volumes on certain electric vehicle programs. The core sales backlog excludes the impact of non-core products winding down in our E-Systems business. Delays in sourcing awards due to changes in customer strategies impacted the ability to provide a meaningful 2027 sales backlog. Lear expects to provide a three-year backlog later in 2025. 2025 Financial OutlookAt the midpoint of our guidance range, we have assumed that global industry production will be 2% lower than in 2024 on a Lear sales weighted basis. The industry volume assumptions underlying Lear's 2025 financial outlook are derived from several sources, including internal estimates, customer production schedules and the most recent S&P Global Mobility production estimates for Lear's vehicle platforms. Our 2025 financial outlook is summarized below: Full Year 2025 Financial Outlook Net Sales $21,875 million - $22,875 million Core Operating Earnings $915 million - $1,175 million Adjusted EBITDA $1,535 million - $1,795 million Restructuring Costs ≈$175 million Operating Cash Flow $1,055 million - $1,255 million Capital Spending ≈$625 million Free Cash Flow $430 million - $630 million The financial outlook is based on a full year average exchange rate of $1.04/Euro and 7.30 RMB/$ and excludes any impact of potential changes to tariffs. Certain of the forward-looking financial measures above are provided on a non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP because to do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Conference Call and Webcast InformationA conference call and webcast will be held to discuss Lear's fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results and related matters on February 6, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. ET. The webcast link for the conference call will be available through Lear's investor relations webpage at ir.lear.com. In addition, the conference call can be accessed by dialing 1-877-883-0383 (domestic) or 1-412-902-6506 (international) with Conference I.D. 1508209. The webcast replay will be available two hours following the call. Non-GAAP Financial InformationIn addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included throughout this press release, the Company has provided information regarding "pretax income before equity income, interest, other expense, restructuring costs and other special items" (core operating earnings or adjusted segment earnings), "pretax income before equity income, interest, other expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs and other special items" (adjusted EBITDA), "adjusted depreciation and amortization," "adjusted net income attributable to Lear" (adjusted net income), "adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to Lear" (adjusted earnings per share) and "free cash flow" (each, a non-GAAP financial measure). Other expense includes, among other things, non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the disposal of businesses and fixed assets and the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost. Adjusted depreciation and amortization represents depreciation expense and amortization of intangible assets adjusted for intangible asset impairment charges. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share represent net income attributable to Lear and diluted net income per share attributable to Lear, respectively, adjusted for restructuring costs and other special items, including the tax effect thereon. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, excluding the settlement of accounts payable in conjunction with the acquisition of I.G. Bauerhin, less capital expenditures. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's financial position and results of operations. In particular, management believes that core operating earnings, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted depreciation and amortization, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful measures in assessing the Company's financial performance by excluding certain items that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company's continuing operating activities. Management also believes that these measures provide improved comparability between fiscal periods. Management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's ability to service and repay its debt. Further, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting future periods. Core operating earnings, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted depreciation and amortization, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income attributable to Lear, diluted net income per share attributable to Lear, cash provided by operating activities or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and, therefore, does not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding anticipated financial results and liquidity. The words "will," "may," "designed to," "outlook," "believes," "should," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "estimates," "forecasts" and similar expressions identify certain of these forward-looking statements. The Company also may provide forward-looking statements in oral statements or other written materials released to the public. All statements contained or incorporated in this press release or in any other public statements that address operating performance, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and its other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Future operating results will be based on various factors, including actual industry production volumes, supply chain disruptions, labor disruptions, commodity prices, changes in foreign exchange rates, the impact of any potential changes to tariffs, the impact of restructuring actions and the Company's success in implementing its operating strategy. Information in this press release relies on assumptions in the Company's core sales backlog. The Company's core sales backlog reflects anticipated net sales from formally awarded new programs less lost and discontinued programs and excludes the impact of non-core products winding down in our E-Systems business. The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide production parts generally at the beginning of a vehicle's life cycle. Typically, these contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of production, and many of these contracts may be terminated by the Company's customers at any time. Therefore, these contracts do not represent firm orders. Further, the calculation of the core sales backlog does not reflect customer price reductions on existing or newly awarded programs. The core sales backlog may be impacted by various assumptions embedded in the calculation, including vehicle production levels on new programs, foreign exchange rates and the timing of major program launches. The forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update, amend or clarify them to reflect events, new information or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.
