Visteon Corporation: Visteon Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and $200 Million Accelerated Share Repurchase Program

VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC) today reported second quarter financial results. Highlights include:

• Sales of $960 million with Growth-over-Market of 4%¹
• Net income attributable to Visteon of $49 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of $116 million, representing a 12.1% margin
• Operating cash flow of $37 million and adjusted free cash flow of $20 million
• Strong balance sheet with net cash of $351 million at quarter end
• New business wins of $2.0 billion support strategic objectives for long-term growth
• $200 million accelerated share repurchase program

Second Quarter Results

Visteon reported net sales of $960 million, compared to $969 million in the prior year. Sales reflected 4% growth-over-market¹, driven by launch ramps and regional execution, despite lower customer vehicle production and legacy program roll-offs.

Gross margin in the second quarter was $118 million. Net income attributable to Visteon was $49 million or $1.80 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was $116 million, reflecting continued operational discipline in a dynamic supply chain environment. Margin performance in the quarter benefited from customer commercial recoveries and disciplined cost execution, partially offset by higher supplier costs and continued engineering investments.

For the first six months of 2026, cash from operations was $43 million, capital expenditures were $61 million, and adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was an outflow of $3 million. The Company ended the second quarter with cash of $650 million and debt of $299 million. The Company's strong balance sheet, with a net cash position of $351 million, provides flexibility to continue investing in the business while supporting capital allocation priorities.

Visteon secured approximately $2.0 billion in new business during the second quarter, reflecting continued momentum across the Company's strategic growth areas. Highlights included an additional next-generation SmartCore high-performance compute ("HPC") award with another premium vehicle brand of a large Chinese OEM, further strengthening the Company's position in next-generation cockpit computing. The quarter also included strategic awards with North American OEMs, additional wins in India, as well as commercial vehicle and two-wheeler awards. These awards reflect ongoing diversification of the Company across customers and markets.

Visteon launched 24 new products during the second quarter across 11 customers, demonstrating continued execution across its strategic growth areas. Highlights included an integrated center and passenger display system for a German premium OEM, ongoing expansion of Renault displays, a digital cluster on the Hyundai Exter, and a vehicle control unit for Royal Enfield's first electric motorcycle, the "Flying Flea." These launches demonstrate ongoing adoption of Visteon's advanced cockpit portfolio and support the industry's transition toward software-defined vehicles.

"Our second quarter results support the strategic priorities we outlined at Investor Day," said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. "Our SmartCore HPC momentum, progress across our strategic growth areas and successful product launches reinforce the long-term growth objectives we shared with investors."

Accelerated Share Repurchase Program

The Company today announced that it has entered into a $200 million accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement under its previously announced $800 million share repurchase authorization. The ASR is expected to be completed early in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The ASR reflects the Company's capital allocation priorities, supporting shareholder returns while maintaining the flexibility to invest in future growth.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, net restructuring, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, net interest (income) expense, net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, equity in net (income) loss of non-consolidated affiliates, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies, and (iii) because the Company's credit agreements use similar measures for compliance with certain covenants.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's liquidity that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company's ability to service and repay its debt. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, including intangibles. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, including intangibles as further adjusted for restructuring related payments. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools as they do not reflect cash used to service debt and do not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. In addition, the Company uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (i) as factors in incentive compensation decisions and (ii) for planning and forecasting future periods.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are presented as supplemental measures that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company's profitability, providing comparability between periods by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring business operating results. The Company believes management and investors benefit from referring to these supplemental measures in assessing company performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income attributable to Visteon adjusted to eliminate the impact of net restructuring, other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects.
