First Quarter 2026 Results
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported U.S. GAAP revenue of $5.1 billion, an increase of 5% from the prior year period. Adjusted for currency exchange and commodity movements, revenue increased by 1% in the first quarter. This reflects growth of 7% in North America, 3% in Asia Pacific, which includes a decline of 2% in China, and 7% growth in South America, our smallest region, partially offset by a decline of 7% in EMEA.
The Company reported first quarter 2026 U.S. GAAP net income of $189 million, net income margin of 3.7% and earnings of $0.88 per diluted share, compared to U.S. GAAP net loss of $11 million, net loss margin of 0.2% and a loss of $0.05 per diluted share in the prior year period. First quarter Adjusted Net Income totaled $365 million, or earnings of $1.71 per diluted share, compared to $390 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
The Company reported first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $752 million, compared to $758 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.8%, compared to 15.7% in the prior year period, primarily reflecting increased commodity costs and unfavorable impacts of foreign currency exchange, partially offset by increased volumes.
The Company reported first quarter Adjusted Operating Income of $562 million, compared to $572 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Operating Income margin was 11.0%, compared to 11.9% in the prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $250 million, compared to $242 million in the prior year period. Interest expense for the first quarter totaled $89 million, compared to $93 million in the prior year period.
Tax expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $81 million. Tax expense in the first quarter of 2025 was $356 million, which primarily reflects an increase to valuation allowances of approximately $300 million on deferred tax assets impacted by the OECD Administrative Guidance issued in the first quarter of 2025.
Net cash flow used in operating activities totaled $143 million in the first quarter, compared to $273 million generated in the prior year period. The Company reported negative Free Cash Flow of $362 million in the first quarter, compared to $76 million generated in the prior year period.
Reconciliations of Adjusted Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP measures, to the most directly comparable financial measures, respectively, calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) are provided in the attached supplemental schedules.
Debt Redemptions and Share Repurchases
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company redeemed the entire $266 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 4.35% senior notes due in 2029 utilizing cash on hand.
In April 2026, the Company redeemed $1,847 million of aggregate principal amount of certain senior notes principally utilizing proceeds from the cash distribution received from Versigent in connection with the spin-off.
The Company repurchased and retired 1.0 million shares for $75 million in the first quarter of 2026. As of March 31, 2026, $2.0 billion remained available for future share repurchases under the existing $5.0 billion authorization.
Reportable Segments
Commencing with the first quarter of 2026, Aptiv renamed its Advanced Safety and User Experience segment to Intelligent Systems and its Engineered Components Group segment to Engineered Components. Commencing with the second quarter of 2026, Aptiv’s results will exclude its EDS segment, which completed its spin-off into a new publicly traded company, Versigent, on April 1, 2026.

In particular, management believes Adjusted Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Free Cash Flow are useful measures in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the attached supplemental schedules at the end of this press release.

In this press release the Company has provided information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted Revenue Growth,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Operating Income,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Net Income Per Share” and “Free Cash Flow.” Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measure in the following schedules.
Adjusted Revenue Growth: Adjusted Revenue Growth is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s financial performance which management believes is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Our management utilizes Adjusted Revenue Growth in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted Revenue Growth is defined as the year-over-year change in reported net sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on net sales from currency exchange, commodity movements, acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted Revenue Growth, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s financial performance which management believes is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Our management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization (including asset impairments), interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, other income (expense), net, equity income (loss), net of tax, restructuring and other special items. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, and Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Our management utilizes Adjusted Operating Income in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Management also utilizes Adjusted Operating Income as the key performance measure of segment income or loss and for planning and forecasting purposes to allocate resources to our segments, as management also believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our operating segments. Adjusted Operating Income is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax (expense) benefit, equity income (loss), net of tax, amortization, restructuring and other special items. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted Operating Income, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding, for the period. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

- As a result of the Pillar Two OECD Administrative Guidance released in the first quarter of 2025, the Company no longer expects to obtain significant benefits from the tax incentive granted to its Swiss subsidiary in 2023. Accordingly, the Company recognized an increase to valuation allowances of $294 million to reduce the related deferred tax asset during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Free Cash Flow: Free Cash Flow is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s liquidity, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which management presents financial information for the purpose of making internal operating decisions, evaluating its liquidity and determining appropriate capital allocation strategies. Management believes this measure is useful to investors to understand how the Company’s core operating activities generate and use cash. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Not all companies use identical calculations of Free Cash Flow, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The calculation of Free Cash Flow does not reflect cash used to service debt, pay dividends or repurchase shares, and therefore, does not necessarily reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses.
