• PHINIA finished FY2025 with a solid quarter — Q4 net sales $889M (+6.7% YoY), Adjusted EBITDA $116M (13% margin), Q4 adjusted EPS $1.18, cash $359M and total liquidity $859M, while reducing debt and returning >$500M to shareholders since the spin.
• Both segments grew — fuel systems sales of $560M (+7.9%) with a 10.7% adjusted operating margin and aftermarket sales of $329M (+4.8%) with a 15.8% margin; the company also recast OE service reporting and updated its FCF conversion metric.
• Management highlighted diversified new business wins across light and commercial vehicles, off-highway/industrial, and aerospace & defense (including a third A&D fuel valve contract) plus an India CNG injector win and ~5,800 new aftermarket SKUs, supporting multiple growth avenues.
• Margins were pressured by unfavorable product mix, tariff pass-throughs and FX headwinds — FY adjusted EBITDA was flat at $478M with a ~40 bps margin decline, and management expects tariffs/FX to continue diluting conversion.
• 2026 guidance: net sales $3.5B–$3.7B (midpoint mid-single-digit growth incl. FX), Adjusted EBITDA $485M–$525M (13.7%–14.3% margin), adjusted FCF $200M–$240M and adjusted ETR 30%–34%, with assumptions that industry volumes are flat/slightly down and tariffs remain breakeven.
