Adjusted for currency exchange, commodity movements and the EDS spin-off in prior periods, revenue increased by 2% in the third quarter. This reflects growth of 5% in North America,
5% in Asia Pacific, which includes growth of 1% in China, and 3% in South America, our smallest region, partially offset by declines of 5% in EMEA.
The Company reported third quarter 2026 U.S. GAAP net income from continuing operations of $194 million, net income margin from continuing operations of 6.1% and earnings from continuing operations of $0.94 per diluted share, compared to U.S. GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $488 million, net loss margin from continuing operations of 15.6% and loss from continuing operations of $2.24 per diluted share, which includes the impacts of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $648 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted for currency exchange and commodity movements and the EDS spin-off in prior periods, revenue increased by 1% during the period.

The Company reported 2026 year-to-date U.S. GAAP net income from continuing operations of $621 million, net income margin from continuing operations of 6.5% and earnings from continuing operations of $2.95 per diluted share, compared to U.S. GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $363 million, net loss margin from continuing operations of 3.9% and loss from continuing operations of $1.64 per diluted share, which includes the impacts of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $648 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted amounts in periods prior to the EDS spin-off are presented on a pro forma basis for the impacts of the spin-off.
For the 2026 year-to-date period, The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $1,729 million, compared to

Tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $130 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains information about Aptiv's financial results which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, Adjusted Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. These Non-GAAP metrics are adjusted for the spin-off of the Company's Electrical Distribution Systems ("EDS") segment in prior periods, and represent the financial results of Aptiv's remaining segments ("New Aptiv"), with the EDS segment not included. These Non-GAAP metrics do not include general corporate overhead expenses that were previously allocated to the EDS segment in periods prior to the spin-off, but which are included in income from continuing operations as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management has implemented plans to substantially eliminate these costs following the spin-off, and therefore believes it appropriate to provide this presentation for improved comparability between periods in order to reflect Aptiv's results without those costs.
Adjusted Revenue Growth represents the year-over-year change in reported net sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on net sales from currency exchange, commodity movements, acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, adjusted for the impacts of the EDS spin-off in periods prior to the spin-off.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization (including asset impairments), interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, other income (expense), net, equity income (loss), net of tax, income (loss) from discontinued operations, restructuring, separation costs related to the spin-off of the EDS business, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures), goodwill and other asset impairments, compensation expense related to acquisitions and gains (losses) on business divestitures and other transactions, adjusted to reflect the impacts of the EDS spin-off. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
Adjusted Net Income represents net income (loss) attributable to Aptiv before income (loss) from discontinued operations, amortization, restructuring and other special items, adjusted to reflect the impacts of the EDS spin-off and associated debt repayments in prior periods, including the tax impact thereon. Adjusted Net Income Per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding for the period.
Free Cash Flow represents cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures, as adjusted to reflect the impacts of the EDS spin-off and associated debt repayments in prior periods.
Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In particular, management believes Adjusted Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Free Cash Flow are useful measures in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance and that may obscure underlying business results and trends, including the impacts of the EDS spin-off. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the attached supplemental schedules at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

In this press release the Company has provided information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "Adjusted Revenue Growth," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted Net Income," "Adjusted Net Income Per Share," and "Free Cash Flow." Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measure in the following schedules.
Adjusted Revenue Growth: Adjusted Revenue Growth is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance which management believes is useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Our management utilizes Adjusted Revenue Growth in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted Revenue Growth is defined as the year-over-year change in reported net sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on net sales from currency exchange, commodity movements, acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, adjusted for the EDS spin-off. The impact from currency exchange reflects the percentage change in revenue attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the current period as compared to the prior period, which is calculated by applying the prior period foreign currency exchange rates to current period net sales. The impact from commodity movements is calculated as the difference in the amount of net sales in the current period compared to the prior period that is attributable to escalation clauses in our contracts with our customers for recovery of increased commodity costs. The impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as applicable, is calculated as the percentage increase in net sales in the current period compared to the prior period for sales generated by a business acquired during or subsequent to the prior period, and the percentage decrease in net sales in the current period compared to the prior period for sales generated by a business that was divested during or subsequent to the prior period. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted Revenue Growth, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjustment for timing differences in the recognition of sales from New Aptiv businesses to the historical EDS segment between U.S. GAAP continuing operations presentation and when the sales would have been recognized if EDS had been a third party in the historical period. The Company has included this adjustment for improved comparability between periods.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance which management believes is useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Our management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization (including asset impairments), interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, other income (expense), net, equity income (loss), net of tax, income (loss) from discontinued operations, restructuring and other special items, adjusted to reflect the impacts of the EDS spin-off. Adjusted EBITDA does not include general corporate overhead expenses that were allocated to the EDS segment in prior periods, but which are included in income from continuing operations as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, and Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales as adjusted for the EDS spin-off.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share: Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, which are non-GAAP measures, are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's financial performance which management believes are useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Management utilizes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Aptiv before income (loss) from discontinued operations, amortization, restructuring and other special items, adjusted to reflect the impacts of the EDS spin-off and associated debt repayments in prior periods, including the tax impact thereon. Adjusted Net Income does not include general corporate overhead expenses that were allocated to the EDS segment in prior periods, but which are included in income from continuing operations as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Net Income Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding for the period. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

As a result of the Pillar Two OECD Administrative Guidance released in the first quarter of 2025, the Company no longer expects to obtain significant benefits from the tax incentive granted to its Swiss subsidiary in 2023. Accordingly, the Company recognized an increase to valuation allowances of $294 million to reduce the related deferred tax asset during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
In connection with the spin-off of EDS, the Company repaid approximately $2.1 billion in principal amount of debt in 2026. Reflects the reduction in interest expense in prior periods as if the debt repayment had occurred as of the first day of the respective period.
Represents costs that were allocated to and reported within the EDS segment in historical periods that are not included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Free Cash Flow: Free Cash Flow is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's liquidity, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which management presents financial information for the purpose of making internal operating decisions, evaluating its liquidity and determining appropriate capital allocation strategies. Management believes this measure is useful to investors to understand how the Company's core operating activities generate and use cash. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures, adjusted to reflect the impacts of the EDS spin-off and associated debt repayments in prior periods. Not all companies use identical calculations of Free Cash Flow, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The calculation of Free Cash Flow does not reflect cash used to service debt, pay dividends or repurchase shares, and therefore, does not necessarily reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses.
