By Josee Rose

Lear's said first-quarter earnings fell due to lower production, and that it isn't backing its 2025 outlook due to the "evolving tariff environment."

The global automotive technology company, which specializes in seating, driving technology and power management, said first-quarter profit fell to $80.6 million, or $1.49 a share, from $109.6 million, or $1.90 a share, a year earlier.

Analysts polled by Factset expected earnings of $2.36 a share.

On an adjusted basis, earnings were $3.12 a share, compared with analysts' estimate of $2.69 a share.

Lear's net sales fell to $5.56 billion from $5.99 billion a year earlier. Analysts expected sales of $5.53 billion.

The company said the quarter was hurt by lower production on key platforms.

"Changes to global tariffs have created uncertainty for the automotive industry, making it difficult to forecast global production and impacting the cost structure of the global supply chain," President and CEO Ray Scott said.

Looking ahead, Lear said it intends to provide updates as visibility on industry production improves.
