PHINIA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
Auburn Hills, Michigan, July 30, 2026 – PHINIA Inc. (NYSE: PHIN), a diversified, industrial supplier and global leader in the development of fuel systems, electrical systems, and aftermarket solutions, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter Highlights:
•On June 30, 2026, PHINIA entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the stoba Group, a global technology partner specialized in high-precision components, systems, and customized manufacturing solutions. The proposed transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
•Net sales of $940 million, an increase of 5.6% compared with Q2 2025.
◦Excluding the impacts of foreign currency and the acquisition of Swedish Electromagnet Invest AB (SEM), increases of $21 million and $18 million, respectively, net sales increased $11 million or 1.2%, primarily driven by volumes in the Americas, partially offset by tariff recoveries.
•Net earnings of $40 million and net margin of 4.3%, representing a year-over-year decrease of $6 million and 90 basis points (bps), respectively.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $130 million, an increase of $4 million year-over-year driven primarily by net tariff refunds and the acquisition of SEM, partially offset by higher employee costs primarily attributable to variable and stock-based compensation, associated with the Company’s continued strong performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.8%, down 40 bps year-over-year, primarily due to increased employee-related costs and unfavorable product mix, which more than offset the margin benefit of tariff recoveries.
•Net earnings per diluted share of $1.05.
◦Adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $1.53 (excluding $0.48 per diluted share related to non-operating items detailed in the non-GAAP appendix below), reflecting the operational increases detailed above and a reduction in share count.
•Returned $53 million to shareholders through $42 million of share repurchases and $11 million in dividends.
Key Wins in Strategic Growth Markets:
New and incumbent business wins remained strong. Notable Q2 wins include:
•A heated-tip multi-point fuel injection system program supporting a passenger vehicle engine application, further expanding our alternative fuel portfolio.
•A 24V starter program supporting a Class 8 commercial vehicle platform, reinforcing our long-standing position in the heavy-duty on-highway market.
•A complete common rail system program, including the rail, pump, injectors, and electronic control unit, for agricultural applications, strengthening our presence in the off-highway market.
•Opened vehicle electronics distribution with a leading pan-European distributor, significantly expanding our market access across the EMEA region.
•Expansion of our global aftermarket footprint through new customer acquisitions, branch expansion and increased distribution penetration across North Africa, Eastern Europe, North and South America, China, Southeast Asia and Oceania, increasing customer reach and product availability in strategic growth markets.
“We delivered another quarter of strong performance, with sales growth across our business and higher adjusted EBITDA year-over-year. These results reflect healthy demand in the Americas, the successful integration of SEM, and the consistent execution of our strategic priorities. As we navigate a dynamic operating environment, we remain focused on driving profitable growth and delivering long-term value for our shareholders. The planned acquisition of stoba Group marks another important milestone in that journey, expanding our manufacturing capabilities and reinforcing the resilience, control, and flexibility of our supply chain.” said Brady Ericson, President and Chief Executive Officer of PHINIA.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $370 million and $450 million of available capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility. Total debt at quarter end was $1,019 million.
Net cash generated by operating activities was $91 million, representing a year-over-year increase of $34 million. Adjusted free cash flow was $74 million, an increase of $54 million compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to strong execution of inventory optimization initiatives, working capital discipline, and lower capital expenditures.
2026 Full Year Guidance:
The Company is refining its guidance and now expects 2026 net sales of $3.57 billion to $3.67 billion. This implies a year-over-year growth of 2% to 5% in 2026. The Company’s net earnings and adjusted EBITDA are projected to be $155 million to $180 million and $485 million to $515 million, respectively, with net earnings margin of 4.3% to 4.9% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.5% to 14.1%. The Company expects to generate $210 million to $250 million in adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted tax rate is expected to be in the range of 30% to 33%.
The Company will host a conference call to review second quarter 2026 results and take questions from the investment community at 8:30 a.m. ET today. This call will be webcast at PHINIA Q2 2026 Earnings Call. Additional presentation materials will be available at Investors.phinia.com.

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 net 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 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.
