Martin FISCHER, Chief Executive Officer of FORVIA, declared:

“In the third quarter, resilient sales and continued focus on performance kept FORVIA firmly on its trajectory, despite increased volatility in the customer mix.
Operational excellence remains a key priority — optimizing our cost base through the swift execution of the EU-Forward plan, the global rollout of our SIMPLIFY program, and enhanced flexibility in production costs.
In parallel, we are making steady progress on our transformation agenda: divestment processes are advancing in line with our targets. The organizational changes now being deployed are energizing our culture and strengthening agility and accountability across the company.
Looking ahead to year-end, and amid increasing uncertainty, we remain more mobilized and vigilant than ever on cost and cash discipline, and we confirm our full-year objectives.”

STABLE ORGANIC SALES IN Q3

In the third quarter of 2025, consolidated sales reached €6.12 billion, with stable performance in organic terms, while a 3.7% negative currency effect (€238 million, mainly resulting from the euro’s depreciation against the USD and the RMB) impacted reported figures.

Excluding tooling sales, which were exceptionally high in 2024, product sales increased by 1.1% on an organic basis.

Compared with global automotive production, FORVIA underperformed by 440 basis points, broken down as follows:

• Around 130 basis points attributable to an unfavorable geographic mix, as global automotive production — estimated at +4.4% in Q3 by S&P Mobility — was mainly driven by higher volumes in China (+9.8%),

• 110 basis points from tooling sales normalization,

• Around 200 basis points resulting from negative volume and mix effects.

SOLID GROWTH IN ELECTRONICS, CLEAN MOBILITY AND LIFECYCLE SOLUTIONS

Seating was affected by an unfavorable customer mix, particularly in China, where its main customers, BYD and Li Auto, recorded lower production levels. This was partly offset by solid momentum with Chery. Sales to European premium brands in Europe stood below prior-year levels.

Electronics built on its first-half momentum, posting double-digit growth across all major regions. Sales were notably driven by radars, battery management systems and IVI.

Interiors posted a slight decline in organic sales, entirely reflecting the normalization of tooling sales after an exceptionally high 2024, particularly in the United States. Excluding this effect, product sales recorded strong mid-single-digit organic growth, driven by North America and China.

Lighting was affected by softer activity in Europe and by the phase-out of high-volume programs in China, while showing slight growth in North America.

Clean Mobility recorded strong growth, benefiting from the electrification slowdown. Business accelerated sharply in North America, particularly with Ford and Stellantis, and grew close to double digits in Europe, supported by the take-over of an exhaust solutions activity from a major European OEM.

After five consecutive quarters of organic decline, Lifecycle Solutions returned to growth, mainly driven by commercial vehicle business (Agricultural and Truck).

MIXED PERFORMANCE BY REGION

In Europe, sales were down 1.8 % on an organic basis, representing an underperformance of 260 basis points. The decline was mainly attributable to the production shutdown at JLR in September and the market slowdown of premium brands.

Organic sales advanced by 5.8 % in Q3, representing an outperformance of 110 basis points thanks to robust growth with US and Japanese car makers.

Organic sales were down 2.7% in Asia, with a contrasted situation between China (-7.4 %) and the Rest of Asia (+14.4 %).

Chinese production grew by 9.8 %, driven by local OEMs, but with a significant shift away from BYD and Li Auto, two of the Group’s key customers in the country. This unfavorable customer mix evolution was only partially offset by the strong ramp-up with Chery. Building on this momentum, FORVIA recently signed an agreement with Chery to explore a broader partnership in support of the carmaker’s international expansion.

In the Rest of Asia, FORVIA sustained the first-half trajectory, strengthening its presence with Asian OEMs.

CONTINUED FOCUS ON COSTS REDUCTION AND FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE

During the third quarter, FORVIA continued the deployment of its five-year EU-FORWARD initiative (2024–2028), aimed at restoring competitiveness in Europe.
Approximately 800 new job reductions were announced, bringing the total to 5,800 — nearly 60% of the program’s target by the end of 2028.

Additionally, the Group initiated the global roll-out of its SIMPLIFY program designed to reduce by €110 million SG&A and production overhead costs by 2028.

More broadly, FORVIA maintained a strong focus on production cost flexibility, operational cost control, and cash prioritization.

NEW FINANCINGS ENHANCING GROUP FINANCIAL PROFILE

During the third quarter, FORVIA successfully tapped the debt markets with three issuances in euros, US dollars and via Schuldschein, raising a total of approximately
€1.3 billion.

The proceeds are being used to refinance short-term obligations, enabling the Group to extend the average maturity of its debt and strengthen its financial flexibility.

Since the start of 2025, €2.7 billion in new financing has been secured, significantly reshaping the Group’s debt profile:

• 2026 maturities are almost fully repaid,

• 2027 maturities have been largely reduced,

• bank and bond maturities were smoothed through 2033, and funding sources further diversified.

2025 FULL-YEAR GUIDANCE CONFIRMED

Based on S&P Mobility’s October estimates, global automotive production is expected to decline by 2.8% in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The Group monitors the further increasing uncertainty caused by fluctuations in production volumes and intensified strains across global supply and logistics chains, while consistently evaluating the evolving situation. It remains fully focused on execution and strong agility to preserve its performance.

Therefore, FORVIA confirms its 2025 objectives*:

• Sales between €26.3bn and €27.5bn, at constant exchange rates**

• Operating margin between 5.2% and 6.0% of sales

• Net Cash-flow ≥2024 level (i.e. €655M)

• Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio ≤1.8x at December 31, 2025 on a organic basis***

Beyond this organic deleveraging target, the Group is committed to restore a solid balance sheet with the objective of reducing Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio below 1.5x in 2026, supported by disposals.

*The guidance assumes tariffs already enacted to date and no major disruption materially impacting production or retail sales in any major automotive region during the year.
**2024 average exchange rates: EUR/USD = 1.08, EUR/CNY = 7.79.
***With no net contribution from asset disposals

• The Board of Directors, under the chairmanship of Michel de ROSEN, met on October 17 and reviewed the present press release.
