Results of Operations

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $891 million, representing an increase of 6% (including a favorable impact of $34 million or 4% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $844 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily related to favorable foreign currency impacts, and higher demand for commercial vehicle and diesel applications, partially offset by weaker gasoline demand. Net sales also include $10 million of recoveries on import tariffs.

Cost of goods sold for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $706 million compared with $662 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by $21 million of foreign currency impacts, $13 million from higher sales volumes, $11 million from unfavorable mix and $10 million of import tariffs. These increases were partially offset by $5 million of lower RD&E costs, $4 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation and $2 million of higher productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs.

Gross profit totaled $185 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $182 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, with a gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 of 20.8% as compared to 21.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase in gross profit was driven by $15 million of favorable impacts from foreign currency, $7 million from higher sales volumes, $5 million of lower RD&E costs and $4 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation. These benefits were partially offset by $15 million of price (net of inflation) pass-through, $10 million from unfavorable product mix and $3 million of lower productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased to $65 million from $62 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by $3 million of unfavorable impacts from foreign currency and $4 million of higher bad debt expense, partially offset by $4 million of lower personnel costs and $1 million of lower outsourced activities.

Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $25 million as compared to $26 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by $3 million of lower interest expense resulting from the Amendment and Restatement of our Credit Agreement. Additionally, we recorded net gains of $3 million on our designated and undesignated interest rate derivatives in the current year, in comparison to net gains of $5 million in the prior year.

Non-operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $9 million as compared to $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly driven by higher foreign exchange transactional gains, higher interest income and an increase in the non-service components of net periodic pension benefits.

Tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 was expense of $19 million as compared to a benefit of $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly driven by the release of reserves due to statute of limitation expirations and release of valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets in Brazil (net of U.S. branch taxes), partially offset by a change in the Company's assertion of undistributed foreign earnings in China.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $84 million as compared to $100 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to $20 million of higher tax expense and $3 million of higher SG&A expense partially offset by $3 million of higher gross profit, $3 million of higher non-operating income and $1 million of lower interest expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $99 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $131 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to $16 million of lower net income, $33 million of unfavorable impacts from working capital changes and $25 million of unfavorable impacts from change in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by $42 million of increased non-cash charges.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBIT decreased to $122 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $124 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease of $2 million was driven by $15 million of pricing (net of inflation) pass-through, $10 million from unfavorable mix and $3 million of lower productivity net of higher stock based compensation. These decreases were partially offset by $10 million of foreign currency impact, $7 million of higher sales volumes, $5 million of lower RD&E costs and $4 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation.
