About this update from Forvia Se

PRESS RELEASE NANTERRE, FRANCE Tuesday, February 24, 2026 2025 ANNUAL RESULTS (All figures presented are before IFRS 5 application, unless stated otherwise) Martin FISCHER, Chief Executive Officer of FORVIA, declared: " Rigorous execution on our three strategic priorities — delivering performance, driving business transformation and invigorating our culture — has delivered tangible results in 2025 and laid a solid foundation as we start a new chapter in FORVIA’s journey. The strength and quality of our 2025 underlying results reflect the outstanding commitment of our teams and our unwavering focus on disciplined execution. Sustained improvement in operating margin and cash flow generation has enabled a significant reduction of our financial leverage. We also took decisive initiatives in a transformative phase for FORVIA, reshaping our portfolio and sharpening our strategic focus. The planned divestiture of our Interiors Business Group, now in advanced negotiations, would mark a major milestone in refocusing the Group on the domains where we are best positioned to win and create long-term value. Upon completion, the transaction is expected to reduce our net debt by more than €1 billion and further strengthen our financial profile. These strategic steps have resulted in significant non-cash exceptional charges in our 2025 accounts, reflecting clear and disciplined portfolio decisions. While they weigh on reported net income, they are fully aligned with our objective to simplify the Group, enhance resilience and position FORVIA for sustainable value-creation. With these foundations firmly in place, today’s Capital Markets Day marks the next step in our transformation. We are presenting our new strategic roadmap, with a clear commitment to drive what matters and unlock FORVIA’s next phase of value creation.” Safe harbour The planned Interiors divestiture requires the application of IFRS 5 accounting treatments in financial statements. The Interiors business has been retrospectively classified as “discontinued operations”. All 2025 financial figures are presented before the application of IFRS 5, unless otherwise stated in this document. For reference, detailed financial statements following the application of IFRS 5 are provided in the appendices. 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS (detailed analysis in Appendices starting page 10) In 2025, global automotive production increased by 3.9% to 93.0 million light vehicles (S&P Mobility, February 2026 estimate). Strong growth in China (+10.2%) more than offset declines in Europe and North America (–0.8% and –1.2%, respectively). These regional shifts resulted in an unfavorable geographic mix effect of around 2.5 percentage points for FORVIA. 2025 organic sales flat, with product sales up 1.5%: 2025 consolidated operating income of €1,456 million, up 40bps at 5.6% of sales. Margin development was supported by all Business Groups, except Lighting. The year-on-year improvement was driven by: and despite: The implementation of increased tariffs in the U.S. had no material impact, thanks to effective countermeasures. Net cash flow rose by 47% to €962 million, with a marked improvement in quality driven by three recurring factors: Change in working capital and factoring generated a net inflow of €303 million, driven by strong cash collections more than offsetting the reduction in supplier payables. Outstanding receivables factoring stood at €1.2 billion at year-end 2025 vs €1.3 billion end of 2024. The year-on-year increase in tax cash-out mainly reflects the €68 million withholding tax refund received in H1 2024, linked to the extraordinary dividend from FORVIA HELLA received in 2023. After dividends paid to minorities (€105 million), new leases contracted (€178 million, reduced by 20% vs 2024) and €66 million of other flows (mainly on change in currencies), net financial debt at December 31, 2025 was reduced by 613 million vs December 31, 2024 and stood at €6,010 million. Net debt/Adj. EBITDA ratio stood at 1.7x at end-2025, vs. 2.0x at end 2024. *€823m and 3.9% of sales excluding change in factoring The consolidated net income, Group share, was a net loss of €2,091 million in 2025, essentially due to extraordinary charges of around €1.85 billion, reflecting the profound Group’s portfolio transformation and rationalization. These charges are split into three main categories: Group net result also reflected: The rapid rollout of the EU-FORWARD program — with 6,400 headcount reductions announced by year-end 2025, ahead of schedule — explains the elevated level of restructuring costs, which reached €410 million. These costs are expected to have peaked in 2025 and to decline from 2026 onward. Net financial expenses amounted to €430 million and are projected to decline. Excluding the non-cash impact mentioned above, income taxes amounted to a charge of €251 million. STRONG IMPROVEMENT OF DEBT MATURITY PROFILE FORVIA raised approximately €2.7 billion new debt and repaid €3.4 billion short-term borrowings, while smoothing its debt maturity profile from 2027 to beyond 2032. New issuances reflected a diversification of funding sources. In addition to transactions on the euro bond and Schuldschein markets, the Group accessed the U.S. bond market for the first time, issuing a total of USD 1 billion, and raised a bank loan denominated in Chinese yuan. These proceeds were used to fully redeem 2025 maturities, buy back most 2026 maturities, and significantly reduce 2027 maturities. As a result, Group debt maturities are now well spread from 2027 to 2031 and beyond. Overall, these transactions extended the average debt maturity to 3.4 years at year-end 2025, compared with 3.1 years at year-end 2024. In addition, leveraging cash upstream initiatives, gross debt was reduced by €852 million to €10,280 million at end-2025 and gross cash by €243 million to €4,257m. FORVIA intends to continue upstreaming cash to further optimize gross debt and thus reduce interest costs. 2026 DIVIDEND At its meeting on February 23, 2026, the Board of Directors decided to revise the dividend policy. FORVIA remains committed to delivering long-term capital returns to shareholders. Dividends and share buybacks will be determined based on the Group’s financial performance and financial position, including its leverage target. Consistent with the Group’s ongoing deleveraging priorities, the Board of Directors resolved to propose that no dividend be distributed in 2026. OTHER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS Major initiatives to boost agility and performance through a highly efficient organization The automotive industry is navigating a complex and fast-evolving environment, demanding greater agility and responsiveness. To support its profound transformation, the Group initiated two strategic projects to lead change effectively. The organization model is being transformed , with a clear P&L reporting structure defined. The new setup is centric to our product divisions in the regions, promoting higher levels of accountability and empowerment across teams. Through the SIMPLIFY Project , the Group aims to reinvent its ways of working across SG&A and indirect operations. It conducted a thorough benchmarking exercise to identify areas for improvement, leading to the definition of key structural levers, such as eliminating non-essential tasks, automating transactional activities with GenAI, and optimizing organizational design. The project ambition is to reduce the cost baseline by 110 million euros by 2028, supported by restructuring costs of c.150 million euros over 2025–2028. Order intake driven by Chinese OEMs and Electronics In 2025, FORVIA recorded order intake of €27 billion, compared to €31 billion in 2024, mainly reflecting delayed tenders in the context of electrification slowdown, while making further progress in upfront costs. This order intake continued to demonstrate solid momentum in Electronics and in fast-growing regions: PLANNED DIVESTITURE OF INTERIORS BUSINESS GROUP FORVIA is in advanced negotiations with several parties to divest its Interiors Business Group. The planned divestiture would enable to sharpen the Group’s focus on high-growth technological domains and strengthen financial flexibility while supporting the long-term development of the Interiors business under new ownership. Upon completion, the transaction would reduce net debt by at least €1bn. 2026 OUTLOOK The Group expects the production environment to remain volatile and uncertain in 2026. Based on S&P Mobility February estimates, global automotive production is projected at 92.8 million light vehicles in 2026, down 0.2% versus 2025. This reflects declines across all major regions where FORVIA operates (Europe: –1.8%, North America: –1.6%, China: –1.2%), resulting in a projected negative geographic mix effect of 1 point for 2026. In this environment, FORVIA will continue to enforce rigorous cost control and disciplined cash management. The Group notably expects further support from EU-FORWARD execution and the first benefits of its SIMPLIFY program underway. For 2026, FORVIA expects*: *The guidance assumes no major disruption materially impacting production or retail sales in any major automotive region during the year ** 2025 average exchange rates: EUR/USD = 1.13, EUR/CNY = 8.11 FINANCIAL CALENDAR A webcasted conference call will be held today from 09:30am to 1:00pm (CET) to present the FY 2025 results and the Capital Markets Day.
