Q1 2026 earnings summary4 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Achieved solid Q1 FY26 performance with 4% revenue growth to $3.64B, driven by FX tailwinds, strong China sales, and new business wins, despite industry and customer production disruptions now largely resolved.

  • Adjusted EBITDA rose to $207M, with margin improving to 5.7% from 5.6% year-over-year; adjusted net income was $28M, or $0.35 per share, while GAAP net loss was $22M due to higher tax expense and SG&A.

  • Returned $25M to shareholders via share repurchases, reinforcing disciplined capital allocation.

  • Issued 2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting a 42% reduction in emissions since 2019 and increased use of renewables.

  • Continued focus on innovation, automation, and sustainability, including the launch of ModuTec modular seat design.

Financial highlights

  • Q1 sales reached $3.64B, up 4% year-over-year, with growth led by China and FX tailwinds.

Outlook and guidance

  • Capex expected at ~$300M; cash taxes temporarily elevated at ~$125M due to a non-recurring tax audit settlement.

  • Earnings expected to be second-half weighted; Q2 to be impacted by Chinese New Year seasonality.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
