• Record quarterly operating earnings and earnings per share
• Adjusted Operating Income margin increased to 12.0% from 10.2% YoY
• Cash flow from operations improved to $643 million from $535 million YoY
• New $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization announced
• $3.0 billion accelerated share repurchase program initiated
• Year-to-date Adjusted Net Income increased to $746 million from $614 million YoY

Negative

• U.S. GAAP revenue decreased by 3% YoY to $5.1 billion

• Declines in revenue across North America (-3%), Europe (-2%), and South America (-13%)

Financial Analyst

Aptiv's Q2 2024 results showcase a robust financial performance despite a slight revenue decline. The company reported record quarterly earnings with U.S. GAAP earnings of $3.47 per diluted share and adjusted earnings of $1.58 per diluted share. This represents a significant year-over-year improvement, driven by strong execution and cost discipline.

Key financial highlights include:

• Revenue of $5.1 billion, down 3% year-over-year
• Adjusted Operating Income margin of 12.0%, up 180 basis points
• Cash flow from operations of $643 million
• Share repurchases of $434 million

The company's focus on advanced technologies aligned with automotive megatrends (safe, green, connected) is paying off, as evidenced by multiple new business awards. The announcement of a new $5 billion share repurchase plan, including a $3 billion accelerated share repurchase program, signals management's confidence in Aptiv's future prospects and undervaluation of its stock.

However, investors should note the slight revenue decline and regional variations in performance, particularly the 13% decline in South America. The company's full-year 2024 guidance suggests continued strong profitability but modest top-line growth.

Market Research Analyst

Aptiv's Q2 results reflect the broader trends in the automotive industry, with regional disparities and ongoing supply chain challenges. The company's performance relative to its Automotive Weighted Market (AWM) metric is noteworthy:

• North America: -3% vs. AWM
• Europe: -2% vs. AWM
• Asia: Flat, with China up 1%
• South America: -13% vs. AWM

The company's outperformance in China, despite broader market challenges, is particularly impressive. This suggests Aptiv's products are well-positioned in the world's largest automotive market, especially in the rapidly growing electric vehicle segment.

The restructuring of Aptiv's ownership in Motional, reducing its stake from 50% to 15%, is a strategic move that allows the company to focus on its core business while maintaining exposure to the autonomous driving sector. This aligns with industry trends where traditional auto suppliers are reevaluating their investments in capital-intensive, long-term technology bets.

The substantial share repurchase program could significantly impact Aptiv's stock price and market perception. It represents over 25% of the company's current market capitalization, potentially providing strong support for the stock price in the near term.

Tech Industry Analyst

Aptiv's Q2 results underscore its strong position in the evolving automotive technology landscape. The company's focus on "safe, green and connected" megatrends aligns perfectly with the industry's direction towards electrification and software-defined vehicles.

Key technological implications include:

• Electrification: Aptiv's expertise in high-voltage solutions positions it well as the industry transitions to electric vehicles.
• Software-Defined Vehicles: The company's capabilities in vehicle architecture and software integration are becoming increasingly valuable as cars evolve into computers on wheels.
• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): Despite reducing its stake in Motional, Aptiv remains well-positioned in the ADAS market, which is seeing rapid adoption.

The multiple new business awards mentioned in the release suggest that Aptiv's technology portfolio is resonating with automakers. This is important as the auto industry undergoes its most significant transformation in a century.

However, the slight revenue decline indicates that the transition to new technologies is not without challenges. As traditional ICE vehicle production potentially declines faster than EV production ramps up, suppliers like Aptiv may face temporary headwinds. The company's strong margins suggest it's navigating this transition well, but investors should monitor the pace of new technology adoption in the industry.

Share Repurchase Program

New $5.0 Billion Authorization and $3.0 Billion Accelerated Share Repurchase Program

Aptiv announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $5.0 billion share repurchase program. This program will commence following completion of the Company’s previous $2.0 billion January 2019 share repurchase program.

Under the existing and new authorizations, the Company will immediately proceed with an accelerated share repurchase program totaling $3.0 billion. The Company expects to fund the accelerated share repurchase program with cash on hand and proceeds from debt, which may include borrowings under a new unsecured bridge credit facility, issuance of new debt or borrowings under other sources of existing liquidity. The accelerated share repurchase program will be executed by Goldman Sachs International and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

Q2 2024 Share Repurchases

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 5.4 million shares for $434 million, leaving approximately $0.6 billion available for future share repurchases. Year-to-date, the Company repurchased 12.7 million shares for approximately $1,034 million. All repurchased shares were retired.

Motional Funding and Ownership Restructuring Transactions

In April 2024, Aptiv and Hyundai Motor Group (“Hyundai”) entered into an agreement to restructure Aptiv’s ownership interest in Motional, AD LLC (“Motional”) and for Hyundai to provide additional funding to Motional, eliminating any requirements for additional future funding from Aptiv. These transactions, which were completed in May 2024, resulted in the reduction of Aptiv’s common equity interest from 50% to approximately 15% as of June 30, 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains information about Aptiv’s financial results which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, Adjusted Revenue Growth, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Cash Flow Before Financing are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Revenue Growth represents 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. Adjusted Operating Income represents net income before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax (expense) benefit, equity income (loss), net of tax, amortization, restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures), asset impairments and other related charges, compensation expense related to acquisitions and gains (losses) on business divestitures and other transactions. Adjusted Operating Income margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income 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.

Adjusted Net Income represents net income attributable to Aptiv before amortization, restructuring and other special items, including the tax impact thereon. Adjusted Net Income Per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding for the period. The Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding assumes the application of the if-converted method of share dilution, if not already applied for GAAP purposes of calculating the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. Cash Flow Before Financing represents cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities, adjusted for the purchase price of business acquisitions and other transactions, the cost of significant technology investments and net proceeds from the divestiture of discontinued operations and other significant businesses.

Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In particular, management believes Adjusted Revenue Growth, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Cash Flow Before Financing 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. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

APTIV PLC

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited)

In this press release the Company has provided information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted Revenue Growth,” “Adjusted Operating Income,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Net Income Per Share” and “Cash Flow Before Financing.” 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 Operating Income: Adjusted Operating Income 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 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 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. Operating income margin represents Operating income as a percentage of net sales, and Adjusted Operating Income margin represents Adjusted Operating Income as a percentage of net sales.

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 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.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share: Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, which are non-GAAP measures, are presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s financial performance which management believes are useful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. 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 which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Management utilizes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income attributable to Aptiv before amortization, restructuring and other special items, including the tax impact thereon. Adjusted Net Income Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding, as reconciled below, 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.

(a)

Represents the income tax impacts of the adjustments made for amortization, restructuring and other special items by calculating the income tax impact of these items using the appropriate tax rate for the jurisdiction where the charges were incurred.

(b)

In June 2020, the Company issued $1,150 million in aggregate liquidation preference of 5.50% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares (the “MCPS”) and received proceeds of $1,115 million, after deducting expenses and the underwriters’ discount of $35 million. Each share of MCPS automatically converted on June 15, 2023 into 1.0754 Aptiv ordinary shares. Dividends on the MCPS were payable on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 5.50% on the liquidation preference of $100 per share. Prior to the conversion of the MCPS into ordinary shares in June 2023, for purposes of calculating Adjusted Net Income Per Share, the Company has excluded the MCPS cash dividends and assumed the “if-converted” method of share dilution (the incremental ordinary shares deemed outstanding applying the “if-converted” method of calculating share dilution are referred to as the “Weighted average MCPS Converted Shares” in the following table). The Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding calculated below, assumes the conversion of all 11.5 million MCPS at the later of the beginning of the period or the time of issuance, and resulting issuance of the underlying ordinary shares applying the “if-converted” method on a weighted average outstanding basis for all periods subsequent to issuance of the MCPS. We believe that using the “if-converted” method provides additional insight to investors on the impact of the MCPS upon their conversion.

Adjusted weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding	270.43		283.78		272.87		283.65

Cash Flow Before Financing: Cash Flow Before Financing 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. Cash Flow Before Financing is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities, adjusted for the purchase price of business acquisitions and other transactions, the cost of significant technology investments and net proceeds from the divestiture of discontinued operations and other significant businesses. Not all companies use identical calculations of Cash Flow Before Financing, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The calculation of Cash Flow Before Financing 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.
