OVERVIEW

Pat D’Eramo, Chief Executive Officer, stated:  “We are pleased with our performance in the second quarter.  We saw increases in sales, earnings, and volumes from the first quarter.  Overall, we are on track to deliver on our 2026 outlook.  As we look to the future, our medium-term priorities include: enhancing margins and Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾, growing our core automotive business, expanding our non-automotive businesses, partnering in regions in our Rest of World segment to limit our risk, and ensuring our investments are successful.   We anticipate above-market growth in our core auto parts business over the next few years, based on strong quoting activity and recent new business awards.  Sales growth will be focused on our core North American market, while we will look to maintain in Europe, and limit exposure in markets that comprise our Rest of World segment.  On that note, we reached an agreement during the quarter to sell an 85% interest in our Fluids plant in China, partnering with a local supplier.  As we move forward, better volumes, continued operating improvements, and an evolution in our book of business to next-generation programs are expected to support higher margins and Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾.  Outside of auto, we continue to see growth in our industrial business, both with core customers, as well as new customers in new market verticals including defense, power generation, and transportation.  Our TruNorth Kaizen consulting business recently won a $5 million contract with Raytheon to help improve throughput on key defense and aerospace products.  We believe the relationships forged through TruNorth could ultimately lead to opportunities to participate in defense manufacturing programs.”

^{1The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”). However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures, included anywhere in this press release, include “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Net Earnings per Share (on a basic and diluted basis)”, “Adjusted Operating Income”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Free Cash Flow”, “Free Cash-Flow (after IFRS 16 lease payments)” and “Net Debt”. The relevant IFRS financial measure, as applicable, and a reconciliation of certain non-IFRS financial measures to measures determined in accordance with IFRS are contained in the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and in this press release.}

Fred Di Tosto, President, stated: “I am pleased to announce that we have been awarded new business representing approximately $110 million in annualized sales at mature volumes, consisting of various structural components in our Lightweight Structures commercial group with Ford and Volkswagen/Scout; $40 million in our Propulsion Systems commercial group with Volvo, BMW/Rolls Royce and Volkswagen/Scout; $5 million in our Flexible Manufacturing Group with Isuzu and John Deere, and the $ 5million TruNorth Kaizen contract with Raytheon.  New business awards over the last 12 months total $440 million in annualized sales.”

He continued: “Our reputation for quality and on-time delivery is really good, and has helped us win a large amount of work.  This is being recognized by our customers, as evidenced by more than 30 awards we won from customers and industry organizations in 2025 alone, in areas including quality, delivery, sustainability, workplace excellence, communications, and industry leadership. We have won awards from multiple customers including General Motors (most notably a GM Supplier of the Year award), Ford, Toyota, and others.  Quoting activity remains robust, we continue to secure takeover work from financially troubled or underperforming suppliers, and we continue to see opportunities from OEMs localizing or onshoring production to North America.”

Peter Cirulis, Chief Financial Officer, stated: “Our second quarter results reflected solid margin performance on a quarter over quarter basis, consistent with our full-year outlook.  Sales (excluding tooling sales of $34.1 million) were $1,166.5 million, and Adjusted Operating Income⁽¹⁾ was $70.7 million.  Adjusted Operating Income Margin⁽¹⁾ of 5.9% was down 90 basis points year over year, driven by higher aluminum costs owing to the situation in the Middle East, the end of production on the Ford Escape program at the end of last year, lower vehicle production volumes, primarily in Europe, and unfavourable foreign exchange on our Mexican cost base.  Adjusted Operating Income Margin⁽¹⁾ improved by 40 basis points compared to the first quarter, despite higher aluminum cost, reflecting positive flow-through from higher vehicle production volumes and strong operating performance.  Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ (excluding IFRS-16 lease liabilities) ended the quarter at 1.63x, consistent with the first quarter.  As Pat noted, we are well-positioned to deliver on our 2026 outlook, which calls for total sales of $4.5 to $4.9 billion, Adjusted Operating Income Margin⁽¹⁾ of 5.5% to 6.0%, and Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾ of $125 to $175 million.” 

Rob Wildeboer, Executive Chairman, stated: “We continue to execute well, both operationally and financially in the face of ongoing industry dynamics pertaining to trade, tariffs, electric vehicle volumes, and the Middle East conflict.  We are doing well managing what’s in our control.  We take a balanced approach to capital allocation which includes investing in the business, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.  We repurchased 919,000 shares under our normal course issuer bid during the second quarter for $10.0 million.  Year to date, we repurchased over 2.5% of our outstanding shares.  On behalf of the executive management team, we would like to thank our people for their hard work and commitment, as well as our shareholders and other stakeholders for their ongoing support.”

SALES

Three months ended June 30, 2026 to three months ended June 30, 2025 comparison

The Company’s consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2026 decreased by $75.0 million or 5.9% to $1,200.5 million as compared to $1,275.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. The total decrease in sales was driven by year-over-year decreases across all operating segments.

Sales for the second quarter of 2026 in the Company’s North America operating segment decreased by $35.6 million or 3.6% to $944.8 million from $980.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The operations acquired from Lyseon North America Inc. ("Lyseon"), which have been consolidated with the Company's results since October 20, 2025, contributed $14.0 million of year-over-year sales to the North America operating segment. Excluding the acquired operations, second quarter sales in North America decreased by $49.6 million or 5.1%. The decrease was due to programs that ended production during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2025, specifically the Ford Escape; lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including General Motors' electric vehicle platforms (BEV3/BET), Mercedes' electric vehicle platform (EVA2), the Ford Mustang Mach E, and the Lucid Air; a decrease in tooling sales of $24.2 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; and the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the second quarter of 2026 of $19.4 million. These negative factors were partially offset by higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, General Motors' large pick-up truck and SUV platforms, Nissan Pathfinder and Rogue, the Toyota Tacoma, a transmission for the ZF Group, and General Motors' Equinox/Terrain; and the launch and ramp up of new programs, including Volvo's new electric vehicle platform (EX90), and General Motors' new electric vehicle platform (Chevrolet Bolt). Overall second quarter industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes in North America increased by approximately 1% year-over-year.

Sales for the second quarter of 2026 in the Company’s Europe operating segment decreased by $27.1 million or 10.1% to $241.5 million from $268.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was due to lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including an aluminum engine block for Mercedes, the Lucid Air, a transmission for the ZF Group, Volkswagen's new electric vehicle platform (PPE), and Mercedes' electric vehicle platform (EVA2); and a decrease in tooling sales of $6.6 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These negative factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the second quarter of 2026 of $6.8 million; and higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including an aluminum engine block for Ford. Overall second quarter industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes in Europe decreased by approximately 3% year-over-year.

Sales for the second quarter of 2026 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $3.9 million or 12.2% to $28.0 million from $31.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was largely driven by lower year-over-year production volumes with General Motors, Mercedes, Jaguar Land Rover, and BMW; and a decrease in tooling sales of $1.5 million.

Overall tooling sales decreased by $42.2 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $34.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $76.3 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Six months ended June 30, 2026 to six months ended June 30, 2025 comparison

The Company’s consolidated sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $117.8 million or 4.8% to $2,326.0 million as compared to $2,443.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The total decrease in sales was driven by year-over-year decreases across all operating segments.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 in the Company’s North America operating segment decreased by $72.7 million or 3.9% to $1,792.7 million from $1,865.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The operations acquired from Lyseon, which have been consolidated with the Company's results since October 20, 2025, contributed $29.3 million of year-over-year sales to the North America operating segment. Excluding the acquired operations, sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 in North America decreased by $102.0 million or 5.5%. The decrease was due to programs that ended production during or subsequent to the corresponding period of 2025, specifically the Ford Escape; lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including General Motors' electric vehicle platforms (BEV3/BET), Mercedes' electric vehicle platform (EVA2), the Ford Mustang Mach E, and the Lucid Air; the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $46.3 million; and a decrease in tooling sales of $15.3 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These negative factors were partially offset by higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, Nissan Pathfinder and Rogue, General Motors' large pick-up truck and SUV platforms, General Motors' Equinox/Terrain, and a transmission for the ZF Group; and the launch and ramp up of new programs, including Volvo's new electric vehicle platform (EX90), and General Motors' new electric vehicle platform (Chevrolet Bolt). Overall industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2026 remained largely unchanged in North America year-over-year.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 in the Company’s Europe operating segment decreased by $30.2 million or 5.8% to $493.8 million from $524.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was due to lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including an aluminum engine block for Mercedes, the Lucid Air, Volkswagen's new electric vehicle platform (PPE), Mercedes' electric vehicle platform (EVA2), Jaguar Land Rover, and a transmission for the ZF Group; and a decrease in tooling sales of $10.4 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These negative factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $25.7 million; and higher year-over-year OEM production volumes of certain platforms, including an aluminum engine block for Ford. Overall industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased in Europe by approximately 1% year-over-year.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $8.6 million or 13.1% to $57.0 million from $65.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was largely driven by a decrease in tooling sales of $6.7 million; and lower year-over-year production volumes with Mercedes, General Motors, BMW, and Jaguar Land Rover.

Overall tooling sales decreased by $41.6 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $77.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $118.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

GROSS SALES

Three months ended June 30, 2026 to three months ended June 30, 2025 comparison

The gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2026 of 14.1% decreased as a percentage of sales by 0.4% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2025 of 14.5%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to overall lower production sales volume and corresponding contribution; and operational inefficiencies at certain operating facilities. These factors were partially offset by productivity and efficiency improvements at certain other operating facilities and other improvements; and lower year-over-year indirect costs incurred in production.

Six months ended June 30, 2026 to six months ended June 30, 2025 comparison

The gross margin percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of 13.7% decreased as a percentage of sales by 0.1% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of 13.8%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to overall lower production sales volume and corresponding contribution; and operational inefficiencies at certain operating facilities. These factors were partially offset by productivity and efficiency improvements at certain other operating facilities and other improvements; and lower year-over-year indirect costs incurred in production.

ADJUSTMENTS TO NET INCOME

Adjusted Net Income excludes certain items as set out in the following tables and described in the notes thereto. Management uses Adjusted Net Income as a measurement of operating performance of the Company and believes that, in conjunction with IFRS measures, it provides useful information about the financial performance and condition of the Company.

TABLE A

Three months ended June 30, 2026 to three months ended June 30, 2025 comparison

TABLE B

Six months ended June 30, 2026 to six months ended June 30, 2025 comparison

(1)   Restructuring costs

Additions to the restructuring provision during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 totalled $4.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively, and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of certain operations in North America ($3.5 million and $9.1 million), and Europe ($1.1 million and $1.7 million).

Additions to the restructuring provision during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 totalled $13.8 million and $30.6 million, respectively, and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of certain operations in North America ($2.1 million and $6.1 million), and Europe ($11.7 million and $24.5 million).

(2)   Disposal of foreign operation

On June 1, 2026, the Company disposed 85% of its equity interest in one of its plants in China for CNY ¥5.5 million ($1.1 million). Subsequent to this transaction, the Company derecognized the net assets of the disposed entity and recognized a total gain on disposal of $1.9 million, including $0.1 million that represents the difference between the aggregate fair value of the proceeds to be received and the carrying amount of the net assets disposed of, and $1.8 million reclassification of cumulative foreign currency translation gains from accumulated other comprehensive income to profit or loss. This disposal of foreign operation resulted in a tax impact of $1.5 million that was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

NET INCOME

Three months ended June 30, 2026 to three months ended June 30, 2025 comparison

Net Income, before adjustments, for the second quarter of 2026 increased by $5.0 million to $43.1 million or $0.61 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from Net Income of $38.1 million or $0.52 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2025. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table A under "Adjustments to Net Income", Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter of 2026 decreased by $4.5 million to $43.2 million or $0.61 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from $47.8 million or $0.66 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, was negatively impacted by lower gross margin from lower year-over-year sales volume; partially offset by the following:

• a lower effective tax rate (23.3% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 28.8% for the second quarter of 2025) primarily reflecting changes in the geographic mix of earnings among jurisdictions with differing tax rates, the impact of valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, and certain tax benefits derived in foreign jurisdictions;
• a $2.5 million year-over-year decrease in finance expense as a result of decreased debt levels and lower borrowing rates on the Company's revolving bank debt; and
• a net foreign exchange gain of $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Six months ended June 30, 2026 to six months ended June 30, 2025 comparison

Net Income, before adjustments, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $15.4 million to $71.0 million or $1.00 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from Net Income of $55.6 million or $0.76 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table B under “Adjustments to Net Income”, Adjusted Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $1.6 million to $75.7 million or $1.06 per share on a basic and diluted basis, from $77.3 million or $1.06 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Adjusted Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, was negatively impacted by lower gross margin from lower year-over-year sales volume; partially offset by the following:

• a $5.4 million year-over-year decrease in finance expense as a result of decreased debt levels and lower borrowing rates on the Company's revolving bank debt;
• a net foreign exchange gain of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to a loss of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025;
• a year-over-year decrease in SG&A expense, as previously explained; and
• a lower effective tax rate (26.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 29.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025) primarily reflecting changes in the geographic mix of earnings among jurisdictions with differing tax rates, the impact of valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, and certain tax benefits derived in foreign jurisdictions.

DIVIDEND

A cash dividend of $0.05 per share has been declared by the Board of Directors payable to shareholders of record on September 30, 2026, on or about October 15, 2026.
