Insights
PHINIA delivered solid Q1 growth with stronger earnings and cash generation.
PHINIA Inc. grew net sales to $878 million, up from $796 million, with both Fuel Systems and Aftermarket contributing. Segment adjusted operating income reached $107 million, and diluted EPS rose to $0.96 from $0.63, indicating better profitability on higher volume.

Operating cash flow improved to $53 million, against capital spending of $32 million. Liquidity was strong at $808 million as of March 31, 2026, supported by $328 million of cash and $480 million of revolver availability.

Segment Adjusted Operating Income financial
"Segment Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company."
Segment adjusted operating income is the profit a specific part of a business generates from its core activities after removing one-time items, unusual charges, or accounting quirks that can distort results. Investors use it to see how a particular division is really performing, like checking a player’s game stats after ignoring fluke plays, so they can compare divisions and track true operating trends over time.
Spin-Off financial
"the legal and structural separation of the Fuel Systems and Aftermarket businesses from BorgWarner Inc. (the Former Parent) on July 3, 2023 (the Spin-Off)"
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.
net investment hedge financial
"the Company had no derivative contracts that contained credit-risk-related contingent features... loans designated as a net investment hedges."
Pillar 2 financial
"a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar 2)"
revolving credit facility financial
"The Company has a $500 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility) which matures in July 2028."
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss financial
"Accumulated other comprehensive loss | ( 104 ) | ( 98 )"
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is the running negative total of certain gains and losses that companies record outside their regular profit-and-loss statement, such as changes in the value of some investments, pension adjustments, or currency translation effects. It matters to investors because it reduces shareholders’ equity and reveals economic swings that haven’t affected reported net income yet — like a side ledger showing pending ups and downs that could influence future cash flow or balance-sheet strength.

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements were condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Certain amounts for the prior periods presented were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by those financial statements and accompanying notes. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance.

NOTE 2 ACQUISITION
On August 1, 2025, the Company acquired 100 % of Swedish Electromagnet Invest AB (SEM) for $47 million, comprised of $15 million of cash consideration and $32 million cash used to extinguish debt assumed through the acquisition (the SEM Acquisition). SEM is part of the Fuel Systems segment, and is a provider of advanced natural gas, hydrogen and other alternative fuel ignition systems, injector stators and linear position sensors.
The SEM Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the purchase price, net of cash acquired, allocated on a preliminary basis as of August 1, 2025. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities assumed, including the residual amount recognized as goodwill, is based upon estimated information and is subject to change within the measurement period. The measurement period is a period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date during which the Company may adjust estimated or provisional amounts recorded during purchase accounting if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. Measurement period adjustments are recorded in the period identified. The Company is in the process of finalizing all purchase accounting adjustments. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill, intangible assets and deferred taxes are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be materially different from the estimated values shown below.

The preliminary valuation of intangible assets consisted of the following assets subject to amortization (in millions, except weighted-average useful life):
| Fair Value | Weighted-Average Useful Life | Valuation Methodology | Key Assumptions | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Customer relationships | $ | Multi-period excess earnings | Discount rate, customer attrition rate | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Patented and unpatented technology | Relief-from-royalty | Royalty rate, discount rate, obsolescence factor | |||||||||||||||||||||
The purchase price, net of cash acquired, was allocated based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill, all of which was allocated to the Fuel Systems segment. The goodwill is primarily the result of expected synergies as well as enhancing the Company’s product portfolio and strategy, enabling the Company to explore adjacent market opportunities to increase Fuel Systems sales globally. Amortization expense of purchased intangible assets is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis.
NOTE 3 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Company manufactures and sells products and solutions, primarily to OEMs of commercial vehicle, industrial applications and light vehicles, to certain Tier One vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket. The Company’s payment terms are based on customary business practices and vary by customer type and products offered. The Company has evaluated the terms of its arrangements and determined that they do not contain significant financing components.
7
Table of Contents
In limited instances, certain customers have provided payments in advance of receiving related products, typically at the onset of an arrangement prior to the beginning of production. As of March 31, 2026, the balance of contract liabilities was $23 million, of which $10 million was reflected in Other current liabilities and $13 million was reflected in Other non-current liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the balance of contract liabilities was $17 million, of which $7 million was reflected in Other current liabilities and $10 million was reflected as Other non-current liabilities. These amounts are reflected as revenue over the term of the arrangement (typically three to seven years ) as the underlying products are shipped and represent the Company’s remaining performance obligations as of the end of the period.
The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and region for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Refer to Note 21, “Reportable Segments and Related Information” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information.

NOTE 4 RESTRUCTURING
The Company’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute the Company’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company has implemented actions as part of a strategic effort to align its legacy infrastructure with current business needs and reduce costs in response to ongoing industry headwinds. Beginning in 2025 and continuing through 2027, the Company anticipates incurring approximately $40 million in restructuring charges under these initiatives, with estimated annual savings of $30 million once fully implemented.
The Company’s restructuring expenses consist primarily of employee termination benefits (principally severance and/or other termination benefits) and other costs, which are primarily information technology infrastructure right-sizing.
The following table displays a roll forward of the restructuring liability recorded within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the related cash flow activity:

| Current restructuring liability at March 31, 2025 | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $3 million and $5 million, respectively, of restructuring costs for individually approved restructuring actions that primarily related to aligning its legacy infrastructure with current business needs and reductions in headcount in the Fuel Systems segment.
Estimates of restructuring expense are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded. Accordingly, the Company may record revisions of previous estimates by adjusting previously established accruals.
The Company will recognize restructuring expense associated with any future actions at the time they are approved and become probable or are incurred. Any future actions could result in significant restructuring expense and cash payments.
NOTE 5 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company’s net Research & Development (R&D) costs are primarily included in Selling, general and administrative expenses of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross R&D costs as they are considered a recovery of cost. Customer reimbursements for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on customer contracts, typically either when the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the customer. Customer reimbursements for engineering services are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the contract. Financial risks and rewards transfer upon shipment, acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or upon completion of the performance obligation as stated in the respective customer agreement. The Company has various customer arrangements relating to R&D activities that it performs at its various R&D locations.

Separation-related costs (benefits): The Company classifies certain expenses and benefits related to the legal and structural separation of the Fuel Systems and Aftermarket businesses from BorgWarner Inc. (the Former Parent) on July 3, 2023 (the Spin-Off) as separation-related costs. These costs and adjustments include professional fees and other costs associated with the separation of the Company, including the adjustment of certain historical liabilities allocated to the Company in connection with the Spin-Off, and indemnities related to tax matters between the Company and the Former Parent. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded separation-related benefits of $4 million, which included a $7 million benefit related to adjustments under the Tax Matters Agreement and $3 million of costs related to the Spin-Off.
NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to domestic and foreign income. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 35 % and 48 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of an uncertain tax position recorded discretely in the three month period ended March 31, 2025 that did not recur in the three month period ended March 31, 2026.
10
Table of Contents
The annual effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign tax rates that vary from those in the U.S., U.S. taxes on foreign earnings, and permanent differences between book and tax treatment for certain items including enhanced deduction of R&D expenses in certain jurisdictions.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar 2), with certain aspects of Pillar 2 effective January 1, 2024 and other aspects effective January 1, 2025. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries in which the Company operates have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 the Company has provisionally calculated additional top-up tax under the Pillar 2 Framework in certain jurisdictions where the effective tax rate fell below the minimum threshold of 15%. This amount is not significant to the total income tax provision for the Company.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company has determined that there are no significant impacts to the Company’s results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 as a result of this tax legislation.

NOTE 11 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company assesses its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles assigned to each of its reporting units for impairment by either performing a qualitative assessment or a quantitative analysis. No events or circumstances were noted in the first three months of 2026 requiring additional assessment or testing.

NOTE 12 PRODUCT WARRANTY
The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years . Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Costs of product recalls, which may include the cost of the product being replaced as well as the customer’s cost of the recall, including labor to remove and replace the recalled part, are accrued as part of the Company’s warranty accrual at the time the Company believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. See Note 19, “Contingencies”, for further discussion on the Company’s quarterly process for accruals relating to commercial and legal matters. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, in certain cases, initial customer claims exceed the amount accrued. Facts may become known related to these claims that may result in additional losses that could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s warranty provisions are primarily included in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The product warranty accrual is allocated to Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual accounts:

As of March 31, 2026, the estimated fair values of the Company’s long-term debt totaled $993 million, which is $28 million higher than carrying value for the same period. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt totaled $1,011 million, which was $47 million higher than carrying value for the same period. Fair market values of the long-term debt are developed using observable values for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820. The carrying values of the Company’s other debt facilities approximate fair value. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.
The Company has a $500 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility) which matures in July 2028. The Revolving Facility contains customary events of default and various financial covenants including debt to EBITDA and interest coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.

NOTE 15 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments may include long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swaps, commodity derivative contracts and foreign currency derivative contracts. All derivative contracts are placed with counterparties that have an S&P, or equivalent, investment grade credit rating at the time of the contracts’ placement. An adjustment for non-performance risk is considered in the estimate of fair value in derivative assets based on the counterparty credit default swap (CDS) rate. When the Company is in a net derivative liability position, the non-performance risk adjustment is based on its CDS rate. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no derivative contracts that contained credit-risk-related contingent features.

Table of Contents
The Company is exposed to certain market risks relating to our ongoing business operations, including foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The Company, at times, may use certain financial instruments, primarily derivative contracts, to protect against these risks. The Company uses financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to forecasted cash flows, including capital expenditures, purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions, and the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit, and the foreign currency risk exposure associated with our net investment in certain foreign operations.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the U.S. Dollar equivalent notional values of outstanding currency derivative instruments used for foreign currency cash flow hedging were $54 million and $43 million, respectively. These amounts are primarily related to Euro denominated forward contracts at British Pound and Chinese Renminbi functional currency locations.
The Company recognized immaterial amounts of gains and losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCI) at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 related to derivative instruments designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company also recognized an immaterial amount of gains and losses in Selling, general and administrative expenses in Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Balances in AOCI are reclassified to earnings when transactions related to the underlying risk are recognized. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no significant derivative asset or liability balances recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as being payable to or receivable from counterparties under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
There were no gains or losses recorded in income related to components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges for the periods presented.

NOTE 19 CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, and governmental investigations and related proceedings.
It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company records accruals for outstanding legal matters when it believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in commercial and legal matters that could affect the amount of any accrual and developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. If a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. The Company’s management does not expect that an adverse outcome in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints that are currently pending will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. An adverse outcome could, nonetheless, be material to the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 20 EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (EPS) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting period.
The dilutive impact of stock-based compensation is calculated using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the assumed proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future and compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized.

NOTE 21 REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Company’s business is comprised of two reportable segments, which are further described below. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company made a strategic decision to shift a significant portion of the OES business, previously reported in its Aftermarket segment, to the Fuel Systems segment, as distribution will now be handled by the Fuel Systems locations that manufacture the products. This is expected to streamline the sales structure to external customers while also reducing administrative efforts. The reporting segment disclosures have been updated accordingly which included recasting prior period information for the new reporting structure.
•Fuel Systems. This segment provides advanced fuel injection systems, fuel delivery modules, canisters, sensors, electronic control modules and associated software. Our highly engineered fuel injection systems portfolio includes pumps, injectors, fuel rail assemblies, engine control modules, and complete systems, including software and calibration services, that reduce emissions and improve fuel economy for traditional and hybrid applications.
•Aftermarket. Through this segment, the Company sells products to independent aftermarket customers. Its product portfolio includes a wide range of products as well as maintenance, test equipment and vehicle diagnostics solutions. Additionally, it offers a diverse portfolio of original equipment service solutions and remanufactured products. The Aftermarket segment also includes sales of starters and alternators to OEM and OES customers.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. Segment AOI is comprised of segment operating income adjusted for restructuring, separation and transaction costs, intangible asset amortization expense, impairment charges, other net expenses
20
Table of Contents
and other items not reflective of ongoing operating income or loss. The Company believes Segment AOI is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of its reportable segments. Segment AOI excludes certain corporate costs, which primarily represent corporate expenses not directly attributable to the individual segments.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the chief executive officer.
The CODM uses Segment AOI for the financial planning and review process. The CODM considers actual-to-forecast and actual-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis for Segment AOI when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses Segment AOI for evaluating pricing strategy and to assess the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another and in determining the compensation of certain employees.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
INTRODUCTION
PHINIA is a diversified industrial supplier and global leader in the development of fuel systems, electrical systems, and aftermarket solutions, with a strong portfolio of trusted brands that includes DELPHI®, DELCO REMY®, and HARTRIDGE™. With over 100 years of manufacturing expertise and industry relationships, PHINIA has approximately 12,500 talented employees and over 40 locations in 20 countries and is headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA. PHINIA systems and solutions are designed to keep combustion engines operating at peak performance across a variety of applications: medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle (on-road vehicles used for commercial transport classified class 4–8, 14,001 pounds or heavier); light commercial vehicle (on-road vehicles used for commercial transport classified class 1–3, 14,000 pounds or lighter); light passenger vehicles (on-road vehicles used primarily for carrying passengers); and off-highway, industrial, and other (including construction and agricultural machinery, vocational vehicles, marine, industrial applications, power generation, and aerospace and defense). PHINIA’s service solutions include vehicle repair and replacement parts, offering both new and remanufactured products through the original equipment manufacturer dealer network and the independent aftermarket channel.
Acquisition of Swedish Electromagnet Invest AB (SEM)
On August 1, 2025, PHINIA completed the acquisition of Swedish Electromagnet Invest AB (SEM), a provider of advanced natural gas, hydrogen and other alternative fuel ignition systems, injector stators and linear position sensors, for $47 million, comprised of $15 million of cash consideration and $32 million cash used to extinguish debt assumed through the acquisition. See Note 2, “Acquisition”, for further discussion.
Key Trends and Economic Factors
The global economy continues to grapple with semi-conductor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and economic and geopolitical tensions. These factors may affect production, pricing, and consumer demand. In addition, evolving trade restrictions, including export controls, and increases in tariffs could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, including increasing our input costs and decreasing the demand for our products. Although the nature of these trade restrictions and tariffs continue to change, they increase the risk for elevated inflation more generally, which may drive an increase in our other input costs.
Outlook
We expect improved earnings and cash generation in 2026, as we expect foreign currency, operational efficiencies, and share gains to more than offset a softening original equipment (OE) market. Continued economic and geopolitical uncertainty is expected to continue to impact light vehicle (LV) volumes, which are expected to decline by mid-single percentages in our key markets. Commercial vehicle (CV) volumes are expected to remain flat in our key markets. Assuming constant foreign exchange rates and excluding sales from acquisitions, we expect a modest increase in sales. Additionally, we expect to continue to be impacted by other macroeconomic challenges in 2026, which may include but are not limited to elevated inflation, supply chain constraints, market volatility, higher tariffs (particularly in Mexico and China), evolving trade restrictions, government shutdowns, geopolitical tensions, and changes in international trade relations.
Despite the near-term uncertainties, the Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its global business and is committed to new product development and strategic investments to support its product leadership and growth strategies. There are several trends that are driving the Company’s long-term growth that management expects to continue, including expansion in the CV market, growth in overall vehicle parc that supports aftermarket demand, increased consumer interest in hybrid and plug-in hybrid
27

electric vehicles, adoption of additional product offerings enabling zero- and lower-carbon fuel solutions for combustion vehicles, and continued expansion in the aerospace and defense industry. In addition, we believe we are well positioned to continue to expand our differentiated offerings and capabilities across electronics, software and complete systems.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Form 10-Q contains information about PHINIA’s financial results that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q. The reconciliations include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this Form 10-Q and the adjustments that management can reasonably predict.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management, investors, and banking institutions in their analysis of the Company's business and operating performance. Management also uses this information for operational planning and decision-making purposes.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered a substitute for any GAAP measure. Additionally, because not all companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented by PHINIA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Net sales and Cost of sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $878 million, an increase of $82 million, or 10%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cost of sales and cost of sales as a percentage of net sales were $690 million and 79%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $624 million and 78%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in net sales, cost of sales, and gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by the impacts below.

SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. SG&A expenses increased period-over-period, primarily attributable to increased employee costs, including stock-based compensation.

Other operating expense (income), net
Other operating expense (income), net was expense of $1 million compared to income of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The change in other operating expense, net was primarily driven by an increase in separation-related costs. Other operating expense (income), net was comprised of the following:

Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax
Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax was $5 million and $4 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This line item is driven by the results of the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture.
Interest income
Interest income was $2 million and $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The interest income is primarily related to interest earned on funds held in money market, local overnight deposits, and short term investments.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $20 million and $19 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 13, “Notes Payable and Debt”, for further discussion.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes was $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, resulting in an effective tax rate of 35%. This is compared to $24 million, or 48%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased as compared to the prior year as a result of an uncertain tax position recorded discretely in the three month period ended March 31, 2025 that did not recur in the three month period ended March 31, 2026.
For further details, see Note 7, “Income Taxes,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Net earnings per diluted share and adjusted net earnings per diluted share
The Company’s net earnings per diluted share was $0.96 and $0.63 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s adjusted net earnings per diluted share was $1.29 and $0.94 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company defines adjusted net earnings per diluted share, a non-GAAP measure, as net earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude: (i) the impact of restructuring expense, separation-related costs, merger and acquisition costs, impairment charges and other gains, losses and tax effects and adjustments not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations; and (ii) acquisition-related intangibles amortization expense because it pertains to non-cash expenses that the Company does not use to evaluate core operating performance. Management believes that adjusted net earnings per diluted share is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance, as it provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance.

Results by Reportable Segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The Company’s business is comprised of two reportable segments: Fuel Systems and Aftermarket.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company made a strategic decision to shift a significant portion of the OES business, previously reported in its Aftermarket segment, to the Fuel Systems segment, as distribution will now be handled by the Fuel Systems locations that manufacture the products. This is expected to streamline the sales structure to external customers while also reducing administrative efforts. The reporting segment disclosures have been updated accordingly which included recasting prior period information for the new reporting structure.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. Segment AOI is comprised of segment operating income adjusted for restructuring, separation-related costs, merger and acquisition costs, intangible asset amortization expense, impairment charges and other items not reflective of ongoing operating income or loss. The Company believes Segment AOI is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of its reportable segments.
Segment AOI excludes certain corporate costs, which primarily represent corporate expenses not directly attributable to the individual segments. Corporate expenses not allocated to Segment AOI were $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Refer to Note 21, “Reportable Segments and Related Information” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information.

The Fuel Systems segment’s Segment Adjusted Operating margin was 9.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 9.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Segment Adjusted Operating margin decrease was primarily due to unfavorable product mix in Europe and Asia, partially offset by cost control measures and supplier savings.
The Aftermarket segment’s Segment Adjusted Operating margin was 17.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 16.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Segment Adjusted Operating margin increase was primarily due to cost control measures and tariff recoveries.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
The Company maintains various liquidity sources, including cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of its $500 million revolving credit facility maturing in July 2028 (the Revolving Facility). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had liquidity of $808 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalent balances of $328 million and availability on the Revolving Facility of $480 million. Given the Company’s strong liquidity position, management believes that it will have sufficient liquidity and will maintain compliance with all covenants through at least the next 12 months.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $328 million and $359 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively, of which $315 million and $330 million, respectively, was held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States. We believe our existing cash and cash flows generated from operations and the Revolving Facility will be responsive to the needs of our current and planned operations for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter.
We utilize certain arrangements with various financial institutions to sell eligible trade receivables from certain customers in North America and Europe. We may terminate any or all of these arrangements at any time subject to prior written notice. While we do not depend on these arrangements for our liquidity, if
32
Table of Contents
we elected to terminate these arrangements, there would be a one-time unfavorable timing impact on the collection of any outstanding receivables.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $53 million and $40 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to increased net earnings.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $32 million and $35 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to capital expenditures. As a percentage of sales, capital expenditures were 3.6% and 4.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $50 million and $117 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to borrowings on the Revolving Facility and lower stock repurchases.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies and estimates disclosures appear in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates,” in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on February 12, 2026. There were no material changes to this information during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk appear in “Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on February 12, 2026. Excluding the information discussed below, there were no material changes to this information during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Currency exchange rate risk refers to the possibility that the Company may incur economic losses due to adverse changes in currency exchange rates. The Company operates globally and transacts in multiple currencies in addition to its reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. Although the Company generally uses the national or regional currency as the functional currency of its local entities, the Company has a significant amount of transactions in non-functional currency denominations including U.S. Dollar, Euro, Chinese Renminbi, British Pound and Mexican Peso. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed periodically, and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company mitigates its currency exchange rate risk by establishing production facilities and sourcing raw materials in the same region that products are sold to customers.
In addition, the Company executed an intercompany loan designated as a net investment hedge to mitigate specific exchange rate translation risk. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company deferred a pre-tax loss of $6 million for the designated net investment hedge within the cumulative translation account within accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of total shareholders’ equity.

Table of Contents
Currency translation adjustments, including the impact of the net investment hedges discussed above, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are shown in the following tables, which provide the percentage change in U.S. Dollars against the respective currencies and the approximate impacts of these changes recorded within other comprehensive income (loss) for the respective periods.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential. Proceedings that were previously disclosed may no longer be reported because, as a result of rulings in the case, settlements, changes in our business, or other developments, in our judgment, they are no longer material to the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations. Refer to Note 19, “Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding such lawsuits and claims.
SEC regulations require disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Company reasonably believes will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to these regulations, the Company uses a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We face a number of risks and uncertainties that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. A discussion of our risk factors can be found in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on February 12, 2026. Readers should not interpret the disclosure of any risk factor to imply that the risk has not already materialized. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to our previously disclosed risk factors.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In August 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the capacity under our previously announced share repurchase program by $250 million. On February 12, 2025, an additional $200 million of capacity was approved, for a total share repurchase program of $600 million. On January 29, 2026, an additional $150 million of capacity was approved, for a total share repurchase program of $750 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had repurchased $492 million of common stock under its repurchase program, excluding the impact of Federal excise tax. Under the share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to one or more accelerated share repurchase programs or Rule 10b5-1 plans in compliance with SEC requirements. The exact amount and timing of any purchases will depend on a number of factors, including trading price, trading volume, and general market conditions. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended, discontinued, or resumed at any time. Repurchased shares will be deemed common stock held in treasury and may subsequently be reissued.
Employee transactions include shares of the Company’s common stock withheld by the Company in connection with employees’ payment of taxes associated with the vesting of their restricted stock awards granted under the PHINIA Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan.
