Versigent Launches as New Publicly Traded Company

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

free cash flow financial

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

spin-off regulatory

A spin-off happens when a company creates a new, independent business by separating part of itself, like splitting off a division into its own company. This often happens so the new company can focus better on its own goals or attract different investors. It matters because it can lead to more growth opportunities and clearer focus for both companies.

record date financial

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

carve-out basis financial

Carve-out basis is the value assigned to the assets, liabilities and equity of a business unit when that unit is separated or sold from a larger company. It determines the starting point for taxes, future profit or loss calculations, and depreciation or amortization, so it directly affects both the seller’s reported gains and the buyer’s future expenses. Think of it like setting the price labels when dividing a shared household into separate estates—those labels change who pays what and how much they report over time.

ticker symbol financial

A ticker symbol is a short, unique code of letters or characters that identifies a publicly traded security on an exchange — like a car’s license plate or a person’s nickname for the market. Investors use ticker symbols to look up live prices, place trades, and follow news; using the correct symbol makes sure you’re tracking or buying the intended stock, bond, or fund and helps avoid costly mix-ups.

New York Stock Exchange financial

The New York Stock Exchange is a marketplace where people buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies. It functions like a busy trading hub, helping investors transfer ownership of company parts and providing a way to gauge how well businesses are doing. Its role is vital because it offers liquidity and transparency, making it easier for investors to buy and sell investments confidently.

Company Positioned for Success and Value Creation as Leading Global Provider of Signal, Data & Power Distribution Systems

• Versigent to Begin Trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as “VGNT” Effective Today
• Executive Team to Ring NYSE Opening Bell April 1, 2026

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Versigent PLC (NYSE: VGNT) today announced the completion of its separation from Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV) and its launch as an independent, publicly traded company. Versigent’s shares will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “VGNT” today where members of the Company’s leadership team are scheduled to ring the Opening Bell.

Versigent is a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and delivery of low- and high-voltage power electrical architectures. With engineering centers on four continents and manufacturing operations in more than 25 countries, Versigent combines global scale with regional responsiveness to serve customers across growing end markets.

“Today marks an important milestone as Versigent begins its next chapter as an independent company built on a century of leadership in advanced power distribution solution systems,” said Joseph Liotine, Chief Executive Officer of Versigent. “As demand grows for greater capability with less complexity, our unmatched combination of engineering expertise, advanced manufacturing excellence, and global scale gives us a distinct advantage. Versigent is purpose-built to amplify our customers’ urgent needs to power smarter, faster, and safer features without compromise.”

Versigent launches with approximately $8.8 billion of revenue, $528 million of net income and $893 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2025, supported by industry‑leading design and engineering capabilities, advanced manufacturing expertise, and a broad global production footprint.

Versigent enters the public markets with a cash generative business model and a strong balance sheet that supports disciplined reinvestment and shareholder returns. As an independent company, Versigent will continue to prioritize operational excellence, distinctive innovation and disciplined capital allocation aligned with long-term value creation.

“Versigent is well positioned to unlock greater value as we enter the public markets,” said Doug Ostermann, Chief Financial Officer of Versigent. “We launch with clear priorities and a strong financial profile, including top-line revenue growth of more than three percent and industry-leading double-digit EBITDA margins that we expect to expand by more than 200 basis points over the next three years. Our business is globally scaled, highly engineered and consistently cash-generative, with a path to $1 billion in free cash flow by 2028. Through a balanced and disciplined capital allocation strategy, we are investing thoughtfully in the business while prioritizing attractive returns for shareholders.”

The separation as an independent, publicly traded company was completed through the distribution, effective April 1, 2026 at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, of all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Versigent to Aptiv shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 17, 2026, the record date for the distribution. Aptiv shareholders received one ordinary share of Versigent for every three shares of Aptiv common stock held. Aptiv shareholders of record will also receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. The transaction was completed as a tax-free spin-off for both Swiss and U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Versigent will announce first quarter business results on May 5, 2026 with a conference call occurring at 4:15 p.m. ET., which can be accessed by visiting www.ir.versigent.com.

Versigent operated as part of Aptiv prior to the separation on April 1st 2026. The historical financial measures presented in this release were derived from Aptiv’s accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains information about Versigent’s financial results which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Management believes the non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In particular, management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. Management also uses the non-GAAP financial measure for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the attached supplemental schedule at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s financial performance which management believes is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Our management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA in its financial decision-making process to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization (including asset impairments), interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, other income (expense), net, equity income (loss), net of tax, restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures), and other special items. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
