Further progress on Interiors sale process 2026 guidance confirmed, including leverage ratio at 1.5x at year-end Martin FISCHER, Chief Executive Officer of FORVIA, declared:

The first quarter marked the launch of our IGNITE plan, with a clear and disciplined focus on execution. Our sales performance demonstrated the resilience of our portfolio despite volume declines across all regions and an adverse customer mix. The period was also marked by promising commercial wins, supporting future sales acceleration in India and further diversification of our customer base in China.

In an environment marked by inflationary pressures and ongoing uncertainty on volumes against the backdrop of the Middle East crisis, FORVIA is fully mobilized to protect its performance. We are executing with rigor on our fixed cost reduction programs and are firmly committed to offsetting rising production costs, while proactively preparing for potential downside risks to global demand.

At the same time, we have continued to make progress on the planned divestiture of our Interiors business, which we expect to materialize in the near term.
With a clearly defined and shared IGNITE roadmap across our leadership teams, we are stepping up execution on our strategic priorities-best-in-class performance, transformation, and culture."
