Management highlights

Guidance
Reaffirming full-year sales guidance of $3.625 to $3.825 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $455 million to $495 million, and adjusted free cash flow of $170 million to $210 million. Strong start of the year helps offset softer second half market setup.
Segment performance
Visteon's net sales in the first quarter were $954 million, up 2% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $104 million. New business wins were just over $1 billion, led by cockpit domain controllers and digital clusters. By region: Americas - strong demand for cockpit electronics due to new product launches but offset by Ford vehicle discontinuations and lower BMS volumes; Europe - benefited from strong ramp-ups on several vehicle programs; Rest of Asia - India was strong with ramp-ups of smart core system and digital cluster; China - vehicle production down in Q1 but benefited from higher value segments and new programs.
Risks & headwinds
S&P lowered global light vehicle production forecast for customers by ~1.5 percentage points, mainly due to Middle East conflict with potential further downside. Memory remains constrained with strong demand from AI and data centers limiting automotive availability, structural supply-demand imbalance driving pricing pressure and tightness in supply persisting through 2027.
