Outlook
Industry projections for 2024 global light vehicle production anticipate volumes essentially in line with 2023 levels. The Company expects to continue leveraging enhanced commercial agreements and operating efficiencies to offset continued inflationary pressures. As a result, Company management expects to deliver improved financial results in 2024 vs. 2023. Initial full year 2024 guidance ranges for key financial measures are as follows:
| 2023 Actual Results | Initial 2024 Guidance1 | |
| Sales | $2.82 billion | $2.8 - $2.9 billion |

| Cash Restructuring | $13.9 million | $15 - $20 million |
| Net Cash Interest | $68.1 million | $70 - $75 million |
| Net Cash Taxes | $10.3 million | $20 - $25 million |

| Europe | 17.8 million | 17.4 million |
| Greater China | 28.9 million | 28.9 million |

| 1 Guidance is representative of management's estimates and expectations as of the date it is published. Current guidance as presented in this press release considers January 2024 S&P Global (IHS Markit) production forecasts for relevant light vehicle platforms and models, customers' planned production schedules and other internal assumptions. |
| 2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss) because full-year net income (loss) will include special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end. Due to this uncertainty, the Company cannot reconcile projected adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income (loss) without unreasonable effort. |
