• Net earnings per diluted share of $1.15.
  • Adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $1.18 (excluding $0.03 per diluted share related to non-comparable items detailed in the non-GAAP appendix below), primarily driven by a lower provision for income taxes, the operational increases detailed above and a reduction in share count.

• Net sales of $3.48 billion, an increase of 2.4% compared with full year 2024.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $478 million was flat year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.7%, lower by 40 bps, primarily due to the dilutive effect of tariff recoveries. Excluding the impacts of the tariff dilution and foreign currency, adjusted EBITDA margin was consistent with 2024.
  
  

• Net earnings per diluted share of $3.24.
  • Adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $4.96 (excluding $1.72 per diluted share related to non-comparable items detailed in the non-GAAP appendix below), primarily driven by a lower provision for income taxes and a reduction in share count.

Net cash generated by operating activities was $312 million for the year, representing a year-over-year increase of $4 million. Adjusted free cash flow was $212 million compared to $253 million in 2024, primarily due to higher capital expenditures and higher prepaid assets.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release 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 below. The reconciliations include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this press release 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.

A reconciliation of each of projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

The Company defines adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as net earnings less interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring expense, separation-related costs, merger and acquisition costs, other postretirement income and expense, equity in affiliates' earnings, net of tax, impairment charges, other net expenses, and other gains and losses not reflective of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted sales. Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in its financial decision-making process and to evaluate performance of the Company's consolidated results. Management also believes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing consolidated financial performance, as they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance.

Adjusted Sales

The Company defines adjusted sales as net sales adjusted to exclude certain agreements with our former parent that were entered into in connection with the spin-off. Management believes that adjusted sales is useful to investors, as it provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain temporary agreements with our former parent that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings Per Diluted Share

The Company defines adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share as net earnings and net earnings per share, each adjusted to exclude: (i) the tax-effected 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 and adjusted net earnings per diluted share are useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance, as they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities after adding back adjustments related to the ongoing effects of separation-related transactions, less capital expenditures, including tooling outlays. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors in assessing the Company's ability to service and repay its debt and return capital to shareholders. Further, management uses this non-GAAP measure for planning and forecasting purposes.
