Mr. Phillips continued, “As part of sharpening our strategic focus, we’re also announcing a plan to leverage the capacity in our global footprint and further streamline the operating structure. Production activities on existing customer programs will be transferred out of

Cash Conversion Days (“CCD”) are calculated as the sum of Days Sales Outstanding plus Contract Asset Days plus Production Days Supply on Hand less Accounts Payable Days and less Advances from Customers Days. CCD, or a similar metric, is used in our industry and by our management to measure the efficiency of managing working capital. |
|
(2) |
Open Orders are the aggregate sales price of production pursuant to unfulfilled customer orders. Our declining open orders are primarily due to the cancellation of a major automotive program and other demand reductions, as well as reduced lead times on customer orders as compared to September 30, 2023, when parts were more constrained. |
