  • Record adjusted free cash flow of $300 million
  • Secured $6.1 billion in new business wins across product categories
  • Achieved 4% global market outperformance in vehicle production
  • Improved adjusted EBITDA margin to 12.3%, up 130 basis points year-over-year
Negative
  • Net income decreased year-over-year due to lower non-cash tax benefit ($49M vs $313M prior year)
  • 2025 guidance suggests potential decline in adjusted free cash flow compared to 2024
  • Reduced customer recoveries due to improved semiconductor supply

Insights

The financial results reveal impressive operational execution with $474M record adjusted EBITDA and $300M record free cash flow, showcasing Visteon's ability to convert earnings to cash effectively. The 12.3% adjusted EBITDA margin, up 130 basis points year-over-year, demonstrates successful cost management and pricing power retention despite normalizing semiconductor costs.

The $6.1B new business wins portfolio is strategically diversified, with $2.6B in displays and $1.5B in SmartCore™ and infotainment systems. The expansion into Toyota and Maruti Suzuki represents a significant market penetration achievement, potentially opening up substantial growth opportunities in Asia. The company's entry into commercial vehicles and two-wheeler segments provides natural hedging against passenger vehicle market cyclicality.

The 2025 guidance of $3.65B to $3.85B in sales and $450M to $480M in adjusted EBITDA suggests careful management of expectations amid global economic uncertainties. The projected reduction in free cash flow to $175M-$205M likely reflects higher planned capital expenditures for growth initiatives.

The strong working capital management, evidenced by $427M operating cash flow, indicates efficient inventory control and receivables management despite supply chain challenges. The continued share repurchase program, with $131M remaining authorization, demonstrates confidence in future cash generation capabilities while maintaining flexibility for strategic investments.

VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2024 financial results. Highlights include:

  • $939 million net sales in Q4 and $3,866 million for the full year
  • Net income of $122 million in Q4 and $274 million for the full year, including a $49 million non-cash U.S. tax benefit
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $117 million in Q4 and record $474 million for the full year
  • Operating cash flow of $427 million and record adjusted free cash flow of $300 million for the full year
  • Launched 95 new products and won $6.1 billion of new business in 2024
  • Repurchased $63 million of shares in 2024

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Visteon reported net sales of $939 million. We delivered 2% market outperformance relative to customer vehicle production globally, and 8% outside of China, due to the ramp-up of recent product launches. Our market outperformance was offset by reduced customer recoveries resulting from improved semiconductor supply and lower customer production.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter was $134 million. Net income attributable to Visteon was $122 million, or $4.37 per diluted share. Net income decreased from the prior year due to a prior year non-cash tax benefit of $313 million, compared to a current year non-cash tax benefit of $49 million, both related to a reduction in the valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined below, was $117 million. Adjusted EBITDA performance reflects strong operating performance, the ongoing benefits of cost and commercial discipline, and lower year-over-year net engineering cost due to favorable timing of recoveries, partially offset by higher SG&A. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.5% of sales, an increase of 70 basis points compared to the prior year.

Full-Year Financial Results

Visteon reported net sales of $3,866 million. We delivered 4% outperformance relative to customer production globally, and 9% outside of China, due to the ramp-up of recent product launches and strong performance from electrification products. Our market outperformance for the full year was driven by the same factors as the fourth quarter.

Gross margin for the full year was $531 million. Net income attributable to Visteon was $274 million or $9.82 per diluted share. Net income declined compared to the prior year due primarily to the non-cash tax benefit noted above. Adjusted EBITDA was a record $474 million and increased $40 million compared to the prior year. The increase primarily reflects the impact of strong operational performance, cost discipline, and lower year-over-year net engineering cost due to favorable timing of recoveries. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.3% of sales, an increase of 130 basis points compared to the prior year. 

Cash provided by operations was $427 million. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was a record $300 million. Adjusted free cash flow benefited from the strong year-over-year improvement in adjusted EBITDA and a significant year-over-year improvement in working capital, partially offset by higher capital expenditures to support our growth.

Visteon repurchased $63 million of shares during 2024 under the $300 million share repurchase authorization announced in March 2023, which has $131 million of authorized repurchases remaining.

New Business Wins and Product Launch Highlights

Visteon was awarded $6.1 billion in lifetime sales in new business wins with strong representation in all product categories. Wins included $1.1 billion of clusters wins driven by digital clusters, $1.5 billion of SmartCore™ and infotainment wins, $2.6 billion of displays wins driven by multiple large display wins, and $0.7 billion of electrification wins.

Highlights include growing our relationship with Toyota, the largest global car manufacturer; the first cockpit win with Maruti Suzuki, the largest Indian OEM; multiple large multi-display wins primarily with OEMs in Europe and Rest of Asia; the first SmartCore™ with High-Performance Compute technology with an OEM in China; and a power electronics win for an on-board charger and DC-DC converter with a German OEM. We also continued to diversify into adjacent end-markets with significant wins with commercial vehicle and two-wheeler OEMs.

Visteon launched 95 new products in 2024, which were aligned with key product trends such as the growth of the software-defined vehicle in the premium segment; increased digitalization in the passenger vehicle mass market, commercial vehicle, and two-wheeler markets; and continued growth of hybrids and affordable electric vehicles. Key fourth quarter launches included digital clusters on the Honda e:NP1 electric vehicle in China, a TVS two-wheeler scooter in India, the Ford Maverick with ICE and hybrid powertrain options, and the Citroen C4 with ICE and electric powertrain options. Other launches included a multi-display module on the Nissan Murano and a battery management system on the all-electric Jeep Recon.

Outlook for 2025

Visteon's full-year 2025 guidance anticipates sales in the range of $3.65 billion to $3.85 billion, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $450 million to $480 million, and adjusted free cash flow in the range of $175 million to $205 million. Our guidance does not include any 2025 tariff impact.

"Visteon delivered strong financial performance in 2024 with market outperformance, margin expansion, and cash generation. We also made significant progress on our strategic initiatives, including strong new business wins and a high number of launches with Japanese, Indian, two-wheeler, and commercial vehicle OEMs," said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. "Our momentum with new business wins continued with more than $6 billion of wins, and we expanded our product portfolio with our first wins for an on-board charger with DC-DC converter and for a SmartCore HPC. These robust bookings provide a strong foundation for future growth."

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In millions except per share amounts) 
(Unaudited)

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, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net interest expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, net restructuring expense, equity in net (income)/loss of non-consolidated affiliates, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, 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.

2024 and 2023 include a non-cash tax benefit to Net income attributable to Visteon Corporation of $49 million and $313 million, respectively, related to a reduction in the valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets.

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 are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be a substitute for cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. 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 (Loss) 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 restructuring expense, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
