FMR LLC and Abigail P. Johnson filed an amended Schedule 13G reporting beneficial ownership of 1,608,973.41 Adient plc common shares, representing 2.0% of the class as of 12/31/2025.
FMR LLC has sole voting power over 1,579,820 shares, while Abigail P. Johnson has no voting power but sole dispositive power over 1,608,973.41 shares. The filing confirms they own 5% or less of Adient’s shares, and states the position is held in the ordinary course of business and not to change or influence control.
Adient plc reported a small quarterly loss despite higher sales. Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2025 rose to $3,644 million from $3,495 million, driven by favorable foreign currency, stronger volumes in Asia, and customer pricing recoveries.
Gross profit was $217 million, essentially flat year over year, with a margin of 6.0%. However, a sharply higher income tax provision of $42 million, reflecting uncertain tax positions tied to a foreign tax audit, pushed net income to a loss of $1 million and net loss attributable to Adient to $22 million, or $0.28 per share.
Adjusted EBITDA improved to $229 million from $218 million, supported by better performance in Asia and equity income from partially-owned affiliates. Adient continued restructuring, recording $24 million of charges, and repurchased about 1.2 million shares for $25 million, leaving $110 million under its authorization.
Adient plc submitted a current report to note that it has released its financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2025. The company issued these results in a news release dated February 4, 2026.
The news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference, but it is expressly designated as “furnished” rather than “filed” for securities law purposes. No additional financial details or business updates are included in the body of this report.
Adient plc is asking shareholders to vote on key governance and compensation matters at its 2026 Annual General Meeting on March 10, 2026 in Dublin, Ireland. Shareholders will elect eight directors for one-year terms, ratify PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent auditor for fiscal 2026 (and authorize the Board, through the Audit Committee, to set audit fees), and cast an advisory vote on named executive officer pay.
Investors are also asked to renew the Board’s authority under Irish law to issue shares and to opt out of statutory preemption rights, with the latter requiring at least 75% of votes cast and being conditional on approval of the issuance authority. The meeting will receive and consider Irish Statutory Accounts for the year ended September 30, 2025. The Board, which has an independent chair and seven independent directors out of eight, highlights its risk oversight framework, committee structure, ethics and insider trading policies, and sustainability focus.
The proxy explains how to vote, broker voting rules, and deadlines for submitting director nominations and shareholder proposals for the 2027 meeting. It also describes the company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, noting that a large majority of executive compensation is variable and tied to financial and strategic goals, and that Adient repurchased $125 million of shares in fiscal 2025, about 6.1 million shares or 7% of shares outstanding at the start of the year.
Adient plc and its subsidiaries amended their existing Term Loan Credit Agreement effective January 15, 2026. The Amendment reduces the interest rate margin to 2.00% for Term SOFR loans and 1.00% for Base Rate loans under the facility. Total loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement remained at $624,000,000 as of the amendment effective date, so the change focuses on pricing rather than principal. The obligations under the Credit Agreement continue to be guaranteed on a secured basis by Adient plc and certain of its material wholly owned restricted subsidiaries.
