Speaker Change: EDC happened now in China, but we expect it to.

Oliver: If you go back a couple of years 'twenty to 'twenty three.

Speaker Change: Also catch off momentum outside of China machine.

Oliver: Driven by smartphone and CDC in infotainment.

Speaker Change: In terms of.

Speaker Change: Long term.

Oliver: <unk>.

Oliver: Our debt ratio at.

Speaker Change: In April.

Oliver: I shouldn't say at the time.

Speaker Change: Progress on tubular some commercial vehicles as well as I mentioned is also.

Speaker Change: Mark.

Speaker Change: Prescribed for the notion that is.

Speaker Change: Unnecessarily windows.

Speaker Change: <unk> done them and if you look at our first half performance about.

Speaker Change: You can see how and what.

Speaker Change: It does in the near term.

Speaker Change: And we'll be in a better position to comment on that.

Speaker Change: Close to 20% of our.

Speaker Change: Long term outlook.

Speaker Change: Vince has been in commercial vehicles in two Wheeler markets. So thats very encouraging so that's all very good and it's going to help us.

Speaker Change: This year as we.

Speaker Change: Get more expansion of that part of it.

Speaker Change: Terrific. Thank you for all that detail Sachin, maybe a quick follow up for to Rome with today's capital allocation announcements can you just remind us how you're thinking about targeted net cash in future leverage, particularly with the business outlook improving.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Ill.

Speaker Change: Achieving.

Speaker Change: Long term target, but one thing I would like to highlight Oliver.

Speaker Change: As BMS.

Speaker Change: And so.

Speaker Change: Yes, no. Thanks.

Speaker Change: New to see all GM in particular oven react to the market.

Speaker Change: But generally we have given a $1 million net cash position as kind of our minimum targets for net cash.

Speaker Change: Market.

Speaker Change: Changes, including the phase out of the tax credit.

Speaker Change: We think that.

Speaker Change: And as you know today, we are awaiting.

Speaker Change: These continue to have interest from consumers so.

Speaker Change: In excess of this so.

Speaker Change: That is not the only reason, but one of the reason why we feel very confident with initiating a dividend we've been.

Mark: No Mark.

Mark: Prescribed to the notion that <unk>.

Mark: It's undergoing omi.

Mark: You can see what it does in the near term.

Speaker Change: Constitutes a constantly generating good EBITDA.

Mark: And we'll be in a better position to comment.

Our strong cash flows in the last few quarters and years in fact, and we expect these to continue so that's really a testament to our base.

Thank you very much for taking my questions Visteon has talked about the success <unk> had with Toyota and you mentioned at a recent conference that Toyota could account for about 10% of your total revenue in 2028, given how big and important Toyota is a global OEM I am hoping to better understand if you think there's the opportunity to further penetrate that customer.

Speaker Change: That is not the only reason, but one of the reason why we feel very confident with initiating a dividend we've been.

Speaker Change: Obviously constantly generating good EBITDA as well as our strong cash flows in the last few quarters and years in fact, and we expect this to continue so that's really a testament to our base is strong.

Mark Delaney: Or beyond what you've done so far and our success with Toyota could also position visteon to get additional wins with other Japanese auto Oems.

Speaker Change: The strong cash flow generation, we have.

Speaker Change: 125 million authorized on our $20 million share repurchase authorization and we'll be reactivating. These.

Mark Delaney: Yes, Mark Good question, let me take that first so.

Mark Delaney: The progress we have made the Canada.

Mark Delaney: <unk> been on a few of them.

Speaker Change: Quarter.

Speaker Change: On top of initiating a dividend.

Mark Delaney: Sure.

Mark Delaney: I would say big high profile vehicles, such as global can be.

Speaker Change: Terrific very helpful. Thank you.

Mark Delaney: Alright, Thank you and our next question comes from the line of Mark Delaney with Goldman Sachs. Mark. Please go ahead.

Mark Delaney: And also one content on the tundra.

Mark Delaney: North America local China.

Mark Delaney: And our wins have been.

Mark Delaney: Yes, good morning, and thank you very much for taking my questions. Visteon has talked about the success <unk> had with Toyota and you mentioned at a recent conference that Toyota could account for about 10% of your total revenue in 2028, given how big and important Toyota is a global OEM I am hoping to better understand if you think there's the opportunity to further penetrate that customer.

Mark Delaney: Most of them are digital clusters and to a smaller extent displays I should also mention that one disc loose for the <unk> brand as well so.

Mark Delaney: These products that we offer is still relatively a.

Mark Delaney: I would say modest portion of the total opportunity that we see in Canada.

Mark Delaney: Beyond what you've done so far and our success with Toyota corolla position Visteon to get additional wins with other Japanese auto Oems.

Mark Delaney: We believe that.

Mark Delaney: This year okay.

Mark Delaney: Yes.

Mark Delaney: We have done better than them so far.

Mark Delaney: Good question and let me take that first.

Mark Delaney: Last year was a it wasn't a strong year in terms of new business wins.

Mark Delaney: The progress we have made the Toyota.

Mark Delaney: We expect to continue to win business with new investment will forward at this speed.

Mark Delaney: <unk> really been on a few up there.

Mark Delaney: Okay.

Mark Delaney: Really.

Mark Delaney: High profile, such as global can be lengthy.

Mark Delaney: We'll be focused on his institution of the many programs that have been won and the successful launch and introduction of the market.

Mark Delaney: Cruiser I'm also one content on the tundra.

Mark Delaney: North America rollout for China.

Mark Delaney: So far so good.

Mark Delaney: And our wins have been.

Mark Delaney: The relationships.

Mark Delaney: Mostly for digital clusters and to a smaller extent displays I should also mentioned we have one displays for the Lexus brand as well so of the various products that we offer and still relatively.

Mark Delaney: The spending today and I'm looking forward to continuing this relationship and establishing even a stronger bond.

Mark Delaney: Relationship here.

Mark Delaney: Quarters so.

Mark Delaney: Everything is going as we would've liked it to go.

Mark Delaney: I would say modest portion of the total opportunity that we see at a hotel.

Mark Delaney: And nothing more to comment on that in this company.

Mark Delaney: So we believe.

Mark Delaney: I remain very optimistic about the future.

Mark Delaney: This year okay.

Mark Delaney: We've done better than them so far.

Mark Delaney: Thanks for that question. My other question was on EBITDA margins I believe EBITDA margin guidance is now about 13% at the midpoint compared to guidance in the mid 12% range that had been provided back in February.

Mark Delaney: Last year was a it wasn't a strong year in terms of new business wins, and we expect to continue to win business with new investment go forward at this stage.

Mark Delaney: Really what we need to be focused on is okay.

Mark Delaney: You mentioned once you had some one time benefits, but the full year is also tracking stronger. So can you help us better understand the different drivers of the improved EBITDA margin outlook and also how much is coming from some of the M&A that you spoke about thanks, yes.

Mark Delaney: Fusion of the mini programs and the successful launch of introduction to the market.

Mark Delaney: So far so good so we're very happy with the relationships.

Mark Delaney: Starting today and I'm looking forward to continuing this.

Mark Delaney: Yes, absolutely yes.

Mark Delaney: So we've raised EBITDA to get to your points and we're now at $490 million.

Speaker Change: Patients who have been establishing even a stronger.

Speaker Change: And relationships here in the coming quarters.

Mark Delaney: 13% at the midpoint, so an improvement of $25 million.

Speaker Change: So.

Speaker Change: I think everything so far is going as we would.

Mark Delaney: Or about 60 basis points.

Speaker Change: Typical.

Mark Delaney: What we are doing in the guidance for integrating the very strong <unk> performance status.

Speaker Change: Nothing more to comment on that and continue to.

Mark Delaney: We had so far and we had a very good operational run rate in <unk>. So we are keeping that.

Speaker Change: I'm very optimistic about the future.

Speaker Change: Thanks for that touch on my other question was on EBITDA margins I believe EBITDA margin guidance is now about 13% at the midpoint compared to guidance.

Mark Delaney: Going we also are adding obviously the nonrecurring items that we had in each one.

Speaker Change: 12% range that had been provided back in February.

Mark Delaney: Don't give a specific number in my prepared remarks, but we're talking about $10 million in Q2 nonrecurring items on top of the 15 that we had in Q1, so about a $25 million of nonrecurring items. However, some of that was contemplated I would say now our original full year guidance maybe five.

Speaker Change: Jeremy you mentioned <unk> had some one time benefits, but the full year is also tracking stronger. So it can help us better understand the different drivers of the improved EBITDA margin outlook and also how much is coming from some of the M&A that you spoke about.

Speaker Change: Yes, absolutely, yes, so we've raised EBITDA to get to your point and we're now at $419 million or.

Mark Delaney: $10 million.

Mark Delaney: So if you think about H, one and H two.

Speaker Change: 13% at the midpoint, so any promote a $25 million.

Mark Delaney: We have also included the.

Speaker Change: Or about 60 basis points.

Mark Delaney: The small benefit of the acquisition, it's not very material in the scheme of things, we are adding a little bit of exchange and also contemplating a little bit more.

Speaker Change: We are doing in the guidance for integrating the very strong performance stats.

Speaker Change: We had so far and we had a very good operational run rate in <unk> in <unk>. So we are keeping that.

Mark Delaney: Engineering and SG&A largely to account to four specific investments we're doing in AI for example in in.

Speaker Change: Going we also are adding obviously D.

Mark Delaney: In engineering, so if you step back and look at what we call our normalized margins, which are essentially <unk>.

Speaker Change: Nonrecurring items that we had in each one.

Speaker Change: Don't give a specific number in my prepared remarks, but we're talking about $10 million in Q2 up nonrecurring items on top of the 15 that we had in Q1, so about a $25 million of nonrecurring items. However, some of that was contemplated I would say our original full year guidance maybe five.

Mark Delaney: Excluding the nonrecurring items, we're running at 12, 5% in.

Mark Delaney: In the first half of the year and adjusting for volume physical disliking the work in the second half.

Mark Delaney: We'll be running at 12% so that gives you the overall 13%.

Mark Delaney: <unk> the nonrecurring items that we've guided to for 2025.

Speaker Change: $10 million.

Speaker Change: So if you think about H, one and H two.

Mark Delaney: Okay.

Speaker Change: Turkey can you just clarify what the nonrecurring items are.

Speaker Change: We have also included the <unk>.

Speaker Change: Yes, so nonrecurring items are very similar to what we had in Q1 I would say about two thirds of our commercial items for items or costs that we have incurred on specific programs in prior years, when the program didn't really materialize or.

Speaker Change: <unk> benefit of the acquisition, it's not very material in the scheme of things.

Speaker Change: Adding a little bit of exchange and also contemplating a little bit more.

Speaker Change: Engineering and SG&A largely to account to four specific investments we're doing in AI for example.

Speaker Change: Engineering, So if you step back and look at what we call a normalized margins, which are essentially excluding the nonrecurring items, we're running at 12, 5%.

Speaker Change: No.

Speaker Change: As planned so we're negotiating recoveries with customers and these are kind of claims if you want there.

Speaker Change: They are not large.

Speaker Change: Individually, but they add up and we've been quite successful in Q1 and Q2 negotiating these items.

Speaker Change: In the first half of the year and adjusting for volume that will be slightly lower in the second half.

Speaker Change: We'll be running at 12% so that gives you the overall 13%.

Speaker Change: It's quite unusual to have such a large number of claims or a commercial items negotiating negotiated in Q1 and Q2 and therefore, we don't anticipate having much in Q3 and Q4 all of these fronts.

Speaker Change: Including the nonrecurring items that we've guided to for 2000.

Speaker Change: Right.

Speaker Change: Could you just clarify what the nonrecurring items are thanks.

Speaker Change: Thank you.

Speaker Change: Yes, so nonrecurring items are very similar to what we had in Q1.

Mark Delaney: Thanks Mark.

Speaker Change: And our next question comes from the line of Emmanuel Rosner with Wolfe Research Manuel Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: I would say about two thirds of our commercial items for items or costs that we have incurred on specific programs in prior years, when the program didn't really materialize or.

Speaker Change: Thanks, So much just maybe just a quick clarification on your.

Speaker Change: Last point, Joe I'm just so.

Speaker Change: Make sure I understand so you named essentially about $25 worth of one times in the first half, but the guidance on EBITDA.

Speaker Change: Go as planned so we're negotiating recoveries with customers and these are kind of claims if you want.

Speaker Change: They are not large.

Speaker Change: Level raised by the same amount. So what are these mostly like timing where it was unusual that it was all in the first half, but you would have had them in the full year or are those incremental and then basically the one times are most of all.

Speaker Change: Individually, but they add up and we've been quite successful in Q1 and Q2 negotiating these items.

Speaker Change: It's quite unusual to have such a large number of claims or a commercial items negotiating negotiated in Q1 and Q2 and therefore.

Speaker Change: What's driving this improvement in guidance.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: Debates, having much in Q3 and Q4 on these fronts.

Speaker Change: So as I just said there is about $5 million to $10 million that was contemplated already in our guidance. So.

Speaker Change: Thank you.

Mark Delaney: Thank you thanks Mark.

Speaker Change: You cannot really add the 25 on the full year, you can probably 15 to 20.

Speaker Change: And our next question comes from the line of Emmanuel Rosner with Wolfe Research Manuel Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: Orestes essentially Olivia.

Speaker Change: Thanks, So much just maybe just a quick clarification on your.

Speaker Change: Higher volume, partially offset by a.

Speaker Change: Last point, Joe I'm just so.

Speaker Change: A little bit more cost on SG&A and engineering, but nothing material there.

Speaker Change: Make sure I understand so you named essentially about $25 million worth of one times in the first half, but the guidance is based on EBITDA.

Speaker Change: Okay. Thanks for that clarification.

Speaker Change: The second question I was hoping to.

Speaker Change: Double click a little bit on.

Speaker Change: Level raised by the same amount so where are these mostly like timing wherewith unusual that it was all in the first half, but you would have had them in the full year are those incremental and then basically the one times or most of us.

Speaker Change: On the EMS, so I understand the challenging comparison in the second quarter can you maybe talk a little bit about how should we think about cadence.

Speaker Change: In comparison on a go forward basis for rest of the year, but also a little bit longer term as well in the context of some of these new U S regulations that could squeeze EV demand. So that's when you have that.

Speaker Change: What's driving this improvement in guidance.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: As I just said there is about $5 million to $10 million that was contemplated already in our guidance. So.

Speaker Change: That is the I guess potential headwinds for EV volumes, but then you also.

Speaker Change: You cannot really add the 25 on the full year, you can add probably 15% to 20.

Speaker Change: Just still launching a program so.

Speaker Change: How do we think about the overall trajectory of BNS some here.

Speaker Change: The rest is essentially Olivia.

Speaker Change: Yeah Yeah.

Speaker Change: Higher volume, partially offset by.

Speaker Change: Let me think decrementals as such and so yes, so first of all.

Speaker Change: A little bit more cost on SG&A and engineering, but nothing material there.

Speaker Change: I would like to share with you all.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

Speaker Change: Okay. Thanks for the consultation.

Speaker Change: This first half has performed relative to last year with BMS, So last year our both.

Speaker Change: The second question I was hoping to.

Speaker Change: Both our customers in North America, GM to lantus, rather than ramp up mode.

Speaker Change: Doubleclick orbit.

Speaker Change: So I understand the challenging comparison in the second quarter can you maybe talk a little bit about <unk>.

Speaker Change: In battery manufacturing and the supply chain for battery tends to be pretty long, especially when.

Speaker Change: If you think about cadence of.

Speaker Change: Yes comparison on the <unk>.

Speaker Change: And the ramp up phase so.

Speaker Change: Go forward basis for rest of the year, but also a little bit longer term as well in the context of.

Speaker Change: The level of demand that we had from these customers last year investing and reflect the vehicle production last year.

Speaker Change: Some of these new U S regulations that could.

Speaker Change: Queens easy demands that you have that is I guess potential headwinds for EV volumes, but then you also I.

Speaker Change: We are seeing this year with the inventory being built up in <unk>.

Speaker Change: Treated as debt.

Speaker Change: I guess still launching a program so.

Speaker Change: Goodbye.

Speaker Change: Production with BMS step forward.

Speaker Change: How do we think about the overall trajectory of BMS hub here.

Speaker Change: That being what vehicles of what the.

Speaker Change: Yes, let.

Speaker Change: The Oems are building this theater as vehicles.

Speaker Change: Let me take that demand will this as such and so yes. So.

Speaker Change: So one thing I would say is although it's lower on the cost of the.

Speaker Change: Paul.

Speaker Change: I would like to share with you all.

Speaker Change: This first half has performed relative to last year with BMS, So last year our.

Speaker Change: Oh.

Speaker Change: The reason I just mentioned with the buildup of inventory last year.

Speaker Change: Q2 sequentially was higher than Q1.

Speaker Change: Both our customers in North America, GM to Lantus further in ramp up mode.

Speaker Change: And it's very much in line with what we see as the demand that's driven from the sell through of the vehicles.

Speaker Change: In battery manufacturing and supply chain for battery tends to be pretty long, especially when.

Speaker Change: Customers.

Speaker Change: And the ramp up phase so.

Speaker Change: And we.

Speaker Change: We will have to see.

Speaker Change: Level of demand that we had from these customers last year and vessel would reflect.

Speaker Change: And about the go forward business what happens you will have to see how these Oems respond to these credits.

Speaker Change: The vehicle production last year.

Speaker Change: What we are seeing this year, but inventory being built up in a.

Speaker Change: This incentive being taken away by end of September.

Speaker Change: Completed.

Bob: Bob will be more that the manufacturer credits still apply.

Speaker Change: Our demand and production.

Speaker Change: Production of BMS, therefore is reflecting what vehicles.

Speaker Change: The <unk> X and.

Speaker Change: That remains and we do anticipate that.

Speaker Change: Oems are building this year as vehicles.

Speaker Change: Carmakers will continue to improve.

Speaker Change: One thing I would say is although it's lower avocado.

Speaker Change: The ability of the vehicles.

Speaker Change: Those investments that they are making in driving a better affordability.

Speaker Change: The.

Speaker Change: The reason I just mentioned with the buildup of inventory last year Q2 sequentially was higher than Q1.

Speaker Change: With the demand.

Speaker Change: Can you see especially in younger demographic.

Speaker Change: We believe that this will continue to be part of the mix of powertrains that our customers spillover and ultimate consumers have a choice to pick the powertrain that best meets their lifestyle. So.

Speaker Change: And it's very much in line with what we see as the demand that's driven from the sell through of the vehicles.

Speaker Change: At our customers.

Speaker Change: And.

Speaker Change: We will have to see to your point about the.

Speaker Change: I think you may have.

Speaker Change: Our go forward business, what happens we will have to see how these Oems respond to these credits being disincentives being taken over.

Speaker Change: Short term uncertainty, but longer term I think it will stabilize if you look at other parts of the world.

Speaker Change: Europe.

Speaker Change: Of course, China, given the emerging markets.

Speaker Change: By end of September.

Speaker Change: Please note that the manufacturer credits still apply.

Speaker Change: And for Us.

Speaker Change: <unk> is not going the other way incentives.

Speaker Change: 45 X and.

Speaker Change: Short term at some point.

Speaker Change: It remains.

Speaker Change: And we do anticipate that.

Speaker Change: Alright.

Speaker Change: <unk> came in you hit critical mass.

Speaker Change: Carmakers will continue to improve affordability of their vehicles.

Speaker Change: But even here, especially with infrastructure improving.

Speaker Change: Those investments that they are making in driving a better affordability.

Speaker Change: Understanding of.

Speaker Change: The demand that we continue to see especially in younger demographic.

Speaker Change: The lower operating cost of Tvs.

Speaker Change: I do believe that Evs will continue to be part of the mix of powertrains that our customers have been offered and ultimately consumers can have a choice.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Little more widespread I think we will see.

Speaker Change: <unk> demand cluttered.

Speaker Change: Can't really quantify at this stage exactly what that's going to be but we'll be in a better position as we go over to make it.

Speaker Change: The powertrain that best meets their lifestyle. So.

Becker: Becker estimate of that.

Becker: Turns of assumptions as well in our outlook and guidance, we have assumed that our BMS sales would be.

Speaker Change: I think we've made.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: Short term uncertainty, but longer term I think you can stabilize if you look at other parts of the world.

Becker: For Q3, and Q4 similar to what we've seen in Q2, our assumption set.

Speaker Change: Nope.

Speaker Change: Of course, China, given the emerging markets.

Becker: It was a slight improvement from Q1 I think the good news. These days is that let's say.

Speaker Change: And what is wrong is not.

Speaker Change: But the other way incentives tend to be short term at some point this momentum.

Becker: More of a parity between production and demand.

Becker: So thats very encouraging.

Speaker Change: Fixed scheme and you hit critical mass I do believe we have achieved.

Becker: Okay. Thank you.

Becker: Okay.

Becker: Thanks Emmanuel.

Speaker Change: Even here.

Speaker Change: And our next question comes from the line of Joe Spak with UBS Joe. Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: Especially with infrastructure improving.

Speaker Change: Understanding of.

Joe Spak: Thank you actually I wanted to pick up a little bit there to some on the BMS and EV discussion I mean, if we think of <unk> and about what are you sort of said right.

Speaker Change: Lower operating cost of Evs.

Speaker Change: And can become a little more widespread I think we will see ongoing demand for it cant really quantify at this stage exactly what that's going to be but we'll be in a better position as we go forward to make.

Joe Spak: You know is whatever you're sort of implying for like a <unk> run rate on that business like <unk>.

Speaker Change: Better estimate of that.

Joe Spak: Bottom and we can be stable from there and like how should we think of and annualize that as sort of a go forward rate unless we see some sort of recovery.

Speaker Change: <unk> of assumptions as well in our outlook and guidance, we have assumed that our BMS sales would be.

Joe Spak: And if so like how should we think about how big that number is.

Speaker Change: For Q3, and Q4 similar to what we've seen in Q2, whether such inset.

Joe Spak: And I guess, just given this business didn't really maybe pan out as many thought.

Speaker Change: It was a slight improvement from Q1 I think the good news. These days is that let's say.

Speaker Change: More of a parity between production and demand.

Joe Spak: A few years ago.

Joe Spak: It sounds like maybe youre getting.

So that's very encouraging.

Speaker Change: Some you mentioned youre getting recoveries for prior programs I'm not sure. It relates to this but I guess I'm. Just wondering are you right sizing or restructuring your footprint for that business.

Speaker Change: Okay. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Thanks Emmanuel.

Speaker Change: And our next question comes from the line of Joe Spak with UBS Joe. Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: Let me answer the second part of the question first so in terms of how do we think about go forward.

Speaker Change: Thank you actually I wanted to pick up a little bit there.

Speaker Change: <unk> discussion.

Speaker Change: If we think of <unk> and about what you sort of said right.

Speaker Change: For our electrification business and given the fact that the volumes are not going to be at the level.

Speaker Change: As whatever you're sort of implying for like.

Speaker Change: Originally expected what we are doing is to expand our offering and debt.

Speaker Change: <unk> run rate on that business like.

Speaker Change: Bottom and we can be stable from there and like like how should we think of and annualize that as sort of a go forward rate unless we see some sort of recovery like and if so like how should we think about how big that number is.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Vehicle category, who won't.

Speaker Change: Beyond BMS into more color electronics as well.

Speaker Change: And so we expect to have greater content.

Speaker Change: And I guess, just given this business didn't really maybe pan out as.

Speaker Change: On those vehicles. They predict we made just a BMS to add other products to the mix and therefore after a content per vehicle.

Speaker Change: Many thought a.

Speaker Change: A few years ago.

Speaker Change: And it sounds like maybe you are getting.

Speaker Change: So we are well on our way in terms of executing on that strategy.

Speaker Change: Some.

Speaker Change: You mentioned youre getting recoveries for prior programs I'm not sure. It relates to this but I guess I'm. Just wondering are you right sizing or restructuring your footprint for that business, yes, yes.

Speaker Change: Both in Europe, as well as in U S.

Speaker Change: And so that should help us in terms of offsetting some of the.

Speaker Change: The loss of D C and fewer BMS sales as we go forward. However that is a window in time because this has to be launched in terms of our opponents converted into revenue in the meantime, they're still largely dependent on dms. So for that portion for the rest of the year.

Speaker Change: Let me answer the second part of the question first so in terms of how do we think about go forward.

Speaker Change: For our electrification business given the fact that the volumes are not going to be at the level.

Speaker Change: Originally expected what we are doing is to expand our offering and debt.

Speaker Change: We do expect us to mentioned that.

Speaker Change: Vehicle category to beyond BMS into more power electronics as well.

Speaker Change: Q1, Q2 run rate essentially.

Speaker Change: Essentially be at the same levels.

Speaker Change: For the rest of the year now going forward beyond that.

Speaker Change: And so we expect to have greater content on.

Speaker Change: If you think about.

Speaker Change: This level is in terms of the overall share of the.

Speaker Change: On those vehicles, but we may just have BMS to add other products to the mix and therefore.

Speaker Change: Vehicle sales.

Speaker Change: Yes, less than 5% of the customer's sales.

Speaker Change: <unk> per vehicle.

Speaker Change: So we are well on our way in terms of executing on that strategy.

Speaker Change: Individually.

Speaker Change: And if you look at the overall market, we're still tracking it.

Speaker Change: Both in Europe, as well as in U S.

Speaker Change: Additional seven 8%.

Speaker Change: And so that should help us in terms of offsetting some of the.

Speaker Change: A portion of the total sales. So we think that that is probably a reasonable expectation for us so that it should be able to either ordered or slightly improve from these levels. What's interesting is we're seeing really good traction in the more affordable vehicle models that have been launched.

Speaker Change: The last that we see in pure Pms sales as we go forward. However that is a window in time, because those rents have to be launched in terms of power electronics and converted into revenue in the meantime, there's still likely dependent on dms so for that portion.

Speaker Change: And so there are very few.

Speaker Change: For the rest of the year, we do expect us Jerome mentioned.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: That's available there is a choice for consumers.

Speaker Change: Q1, Q2 run rate Sn.

Speaker Change: To expand there.

Speaker Change: Essentially be at the same levels.

Speaker Change: Vehicle models, and especially in the case of <unk>.

Speaker Change: At least for the rest of the year now going forward beyond that.

Speaker Change: That is the new old for example.

Speaker Change: If you think about.

Speaker Change: This level is in terms of the overall share of the vehicle.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Production.

Speaker Change: We think that we will have more options.

Speaker Change: Vehicle sales.

Speaker Change: Yes, less than 5% of the customers sales.

Speaker Change: Consumers will be able to pick from.

Speaker Change: But I do have choices.

Speaker Change: In the region.

Speaker Change: And if you look at the overall market, we are still tracking at a cemetery.

Speaker Change: Range performance of the things that we think that it may be.

Speaker Change: Patient of seven 8%.

Speaker Change: A good time to look at this level is kind of the floor.

Speaker Change: A portion of the total sales. So we think that that is probably a reasonable expectation for us so that it should be able to afford or slightly improve from these levels.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Speaker Change: That's helpful. The second question is.

Speaker Change: You just saw in sort of.

Speaker Change: Your.

Speaker Change: Interesting is seeing really good traction in the more affordable vehicle models that have been launched.

Speaker Change: A broadening of the customer base penetration with new customers that you've historically been.

Speaker Change: Underexposed to I mentioned, Toyota mentioned, some others and I want to marry that thought with.

Speaker Change: Got it.

Speaker Change: A few.

Speaker Change: Available as a choice for consumers so as they expand their.

Speaker Change: The more recent news that it seems like a lot of these players might be making further investments into the U S and does that.

Speaker Change: Vehicle models, and especially in the case of <unk>.

Speaker Change: GM is the new old for example.

Speaker Change: I mean.

Speaker Change: Perhaps make your opportunity with them, even larger or maybe even a little bit more accelerated given that you may already have some footprint here that.

Speaker Change: Into production.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: We will have more options.

Speaker Change: Consumers will be able to pick from.

Speaker Change: But ot of choice.

Speaker Change: Battery range performance and other things that we think that it may be.

Speaker Change: Existing suppliers.

Speaker Change: Bye now.

Speaker Change: Yes, yes.

Speaker Change: A good thing to look at this level is kind of the floor.

Speaker Change: Overall this trend towards having <unk>.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Speaker Change: More of the supply piece.

Speaker Change: That's helpful. The second question is.

Speaker Change: In the region.

Speaker Change: Just on sort of.

Speaker Change: Building vehicles has been a big.

Speaker Change: Your.

Speaker Change: Broadening of the customer base penetration with new customers that you have historically been.

Speaker Change: A benefit for us.

Speaker Change: Just for the U S. But also in other parts of the world, including Europe.

Speaker Change: Underexposed to I mentioned, Toyota mentioned, some others and I want to marry that thought with.

Speaker Change: Seeing recently for example, the Chinese Oems.

Speaker Change: The more recent news that it seems like a lot of these players might be making further investments into the U S and does that.

Speaker Change: One thing we have suppliers in Europe supply components, we see the same thing in the U S and with this recent news that you are alluding to there definitely is a positive for us as.

Speaker Change: Perhaps make your opportunity with them, even larger or maybe even a little bit more accelerated given that you may already have some footprint here that.

Speaker Change: As well, especially given the investments we've made in vertical integration in many areas that we have mentioned on this volume previously as well.

Speaker Change: This is all very helpful for us in terms of future demand.

Speaker Change: Existing suppliers may.

Speaker Change: May not.

Speaker Change: Thank you.

Speaker Change: Yes, yes.

Speaker Change: Overall this trend towards having.

Joe Spak: Great. Thanks, Joe.

Speaker Change: More of the supply at least in the region that you are building vehicles has been a big.

Speaker Change: And our next question comes from the line of Colin Langan with Wells Fargo. Colin. Please go ahead.

Colin Langan: Oh, great. Thanks for taking my questions.

Speaker Change: And a benefit for us.

Colin Langan: Maybe just to understand the sales guidance versus initial expectations. What are the major puts and takes in terms of the market expectation sounded pretty similar FX I think was a negative 1% or something like that now that flat and then recoveries are unchanged and growth over market is slightly worse. So.

Speaker Change: Just for the U S. But also in other parts of the world, including Europe. So we have seen recently for example, Chinese Oems.

Speaker Change: One thing to get suppliers in Europe supply components, we see the same thing in the U S and with this recent news that you are alluding to it definitely is a positive for us as well, especially given the investments we've made in vertical integration in many areas that we have mentioned on this call and previous.

Colin Langan: The main factors in the change here is better FX and M&A offset a little bit by the growth of our market or is there other things that were missing in terms of the puts and takes.

Speaker Change: Well. This is all very helpful for us in terms of future demand.

Colin Langan: Good morning, calling it so.

Colin Langan: Essentially summarized it pretty well we had a we have a $25 million improvement at the midpoint of the guidance.

Speaker Change: Thank you.

Colin Langan: We've got a favorable currency going into the second half and that will represent versus our previous guidance.

Speaker Change: Great. Thanks, Joe.

Speaker Change: And our next question comes from the line of Colin Langan with Wells Fargo. Colin. Please go ahead.

Colin Langan: About a 1% improvement the acquisition.

Colin Langan: Oh, great. Thanks for taking my questions.

Colin Langan: Early minor in the scheme of thing and.

Colin Langan: Maybe just to understand the sales guidance versus initial expectations. What are the major puts and takes in terms of the market expectation sounded pretty similar FX I think was a negative 1% or something like that now that's flat and then recoveries are unchanged and growth over market is slightly worse.

Colin Langan: All of this is partially offset by a growth of market growth over market being slightly lower mostly on the on the BMS side, we were and we are slightly more conservative than what IHS as.

Colin Langan: Given just fault.

Colin Langan: CLS. So thats, yes. These are essentially kind of the puts and takes.

Colin Langan: The main factors in the change here is better FX and M&A offset a little bit by the growth over market or is there other things that were missing in terms of the puts and takes.

Colin Langan: Got it.

Colin Langan: And then obviously headwinds in China.

Colin Langan: Headwinds from BMO demand.

Speaker Change: Good morning, calling etc.

Speaker Change: Essentially summarized it pretty well we had a we have a $25 million improvement at the midpoint of the guidance.

Speaker Change: But can you frame that the percent of sale is issues are because I think China last year was only 11% of sales. So it feels like it's kind of shrunk to the point that maybe that the impact of declines there mitigating in them.

Speaker Change: We've got favorable currency going into the second half and that will represent versus our previous guidance.

Speaker Change: About a 1% improvement the acquisition.

Colin Langan: BMS is not still a fairly small business.

Colin Langan: Like maybe less than 3% of sales or something like that or any framing of the size of it.

Fairly minor in the scheme of thing and.

Speaker Change: All of this is partially offset by a <unk>.

Colin Langan: These businesses.

Colin Langan: Yes.

Colin Langan: But it's small in the China context for us so.

Speaker Change: Growth of market growth over market being slightly lower mostly on the on the BMS side, we were and we are slightly more conservative than what IHS.

Colin Langan: I'd say for us in China, It has been mainly.

Colin Langan: The domain controller.

Colin Langan: Our main product.

Speaker Change: Given just for Dms.

Colin Langan: And we.

Speaker Change: So yes. These are essentially kind of the puts and takes.

Colin Langan: We have seen also.

Colin Langan: A sort of a bottoming out of the demand and we're expecting going forward here.

Speaker Change: Got it.

Speaker Change: And then obviously headwinds in China.

Colin Langan: Additional launches I mentioned this more powerful system that we are introducing with our largest customer.

Speaker Change: Headwinds from sort of BMS demand.

Speaker Change: But could you frame that as a percent of sale.

Colin Langan: Other launches as well.

Speaker Change: Issues are because I think China last year was only 11% of sales so.

Colin Langan: We have some small benefit.

Colin Langan: In terms of BMS in China. This quarter, there was some vehicles launched by GM.

Speaker Change: It feels like it's kind of shrunk the point that maybe that the impact of declines there is mitigating and then.

Speaker Change: BMS is not still a fairly small business.

Colin Langan: Uses of BMS did well in Q2 and with a placebo dose in the second half of the year. So I would say things are after.

Speaker Change: Maybe less than 3% of sales or something like that or any framing of the size of these businesses.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: But it's small in the China context for us so.

Colin Langan: A few quarters of decline sequentially declining things of events starting from filling the quantum of autos in China. So cautious.

Speaker Change: Say for us in China. It has been mainly the <unk>.

Speaker Change: Domain controller.

Colin Langan: Cautiously optimistic and I think that's the key the the year over year comparisons are tough.

Speaker Change: Our main product.

Speaker Change: And we.

Speaker Change: We have seen also.

Colin Langan: With China, Mpls as well globally.

Speaker Change: A sort of a bottoming out of the demand and we are expecting going forward here.

Colin Langan: But we are assessing said we are seeing the type of both.

Speaker Change: Additional launches I mentioned this more powerful system that we are introducing with our largest customer.

Colin Langan: China is well BMS, a slight improvement in Q2.

Colin Langan: We are planning to be fairly flat on the BMS side going forward, but we do see some minor increases in China for Q3 and Q4.

Speaker Change: Other launches as well.

Speaker Change: Get some small benefit.

Speaker Change: In terms of BMS in China. This quarter there was some vehicles.

Speaker Change: Overall, China is such an <unk>, 9% and BMS mid to high single digit glue.

Speaker Change: By GM.

Colin Langan: Globally, obviously, the business being mostly.

Speaker Change: Users are.

Colin Langan: With our U S customers, which are Gm's Atlantis and Honda as well, we do supply.

Speaker Change: Yes that did well in Q2, and we'll have to see how it does in the second half of the year. So I would say things are after.

Colin Langan: Ultimately through two on that to switch again.

Speaker Change: A few quarters of decline sequential decline and then starting to turn the corner of autos in China. So cautious.

Colin Langan: Alright, thanks for taking my questions.

Colin Langan: Thank you.

Colin Langan: Thanks Scott.

Speaker Change: And our next question comes from the line of Luke Young with Baird. Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: Cautiously optimistic and I think that's the key the the year over year comparisons are pretty tough.

Luke Young: Thanks for taking my question, maybe just one question from me and we've covered a lot already session would just be interested in getting your updated perspective on moving China's speed incrementally and just generally playing some offense in China as the cyclical and mixed headwinds start to bottom out here I guess I'm thinking about both the software.

Speaker Change: With China, and BMS as well globally.

Speaker Change: But we are as <unk> said, we are seeing.

Speaker Change: Both.

Speaker Change: China, and as well BMS, a slight improvement in Q2.

Speaker Change: We are planning to be fairly flat on the BMS side going forward, but we do see some minor increases in China for Q3 and Q4.

Luke Young: I know you've made a lot of investments and modularity, but maybe if we could talk about hardware in parallel as well. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Overall, China is such a <unk>, 9% and BMS mid to high single digit.

Speaker Change: Globally, obviously, the business being mostly.

Luke Young: Yeah, I think both are very good.

Speaker Change: With our U S customers, which are <unk> and Honda as well, we do supply.

Luke Young: Questions.

Speaker Change: I will talk about the progress that we're making especially what we refer to as China speak for <unk>.

Speaker Change: Ultimately through two one debt to us which again.

Luke Young: Couple of examples.

Speaker Change: Got it alright, thanks for taking my questions.

Luke Young: One is the recent displacement that we have the charity that we talked about in the previous quarter.

Luke Young: Last quarter, we will launch it essentially next Peter right. So.

Luke Junk: Thanks for taking the question maybe just one question from me we've covered a lot already session would just be interested in getting your updated perspective on moving at China speed incrementally and just generally playing some offense in China as the cyclical and mix headwinds start to bottom out here I guess I'm thinking about both the software.

Luke Young: Speed, which I think.

Luke Young: Very few people, even in China, and Kent can match. The second one is we are working on cockpit domain controllers in China that are.

Luke Young: Designed them love them.

Luke Young: <unk> launched under two years Mitch.

Luke Young: Rich.

Luke Young: 15 years and continues to get stronger.

Luke Junk: <unk> Luke.

Speaker Change: I will talk about the progress that we're making especially with what we refer to as China speed, but giving you a couple of examples.

Luke Young: Today, they are at a point, especially for cockpit domain controllers. So we can using our platform to about 70% of the customers requirements right out of the gate. So the very first municipally typically averages within two months of lending business, we're able to meet it.

Speaker Change: One is the recent display then that we had the charity that we talked about in the previous quarter.

Speaker Change: We wanted last quarter, we will launch it essentially next year right. So.

Luke Young: With a large number of the requirements. The Great example is the one that we are currently developing with another one of these targeted <unk>.

Speaker Change: Speed, which I think.

Speaker Change: Very few people, even in China, and Kent can match. The second one is we are working on cockpit domain controllers in China that are designed.

Speaker Change: Yes in Japan Mitsubishi.

Speaker Change: One for the very first time and infotainment system business with them.

Speaker Change: By the way I think we will have many additional opportunities on the backs of as we move forward, including CPC opportunities with them. This program just to give you some.

Speaker Change: And launched under two years Mitch.

Speaker Change: Rich.

Speaker Change: You can do largely because we have adapted ourselves to operating in China's speed in China, and we have a platform approach is we know that was now.

Speaker Change: On the hardware.

Speaker Change: All of the.

Speaker Change: Design choices that will be in the final design and the software there is functioning and is able to meet quite a bit of their requirements. This is really will be possible to have it.

Speaker Change: Platform approach and it takes.

Speaker Change: A large number of their requirements a great example is the one that we are currently developing with another one of these targeted growth.

Speaker Change: Fair amount of time.

Speaker Change: I would say that in terms of being able to build distinctive scheme very few companies can.

Speaker Change: Yes in Japan Mitsubishi.

Speaker Change: One for the very first time and infotainment system business with them.

Speaker Change: Compared and meet our levels of scheme in.

Speaker Change: By the way I think we will have many additional opportunities on the backs of as we move forward, including DTC opportunities with them. This program just to give you some.

Speaker Change: Functioning and is able to meet quite a bit of the requirements. This is really only possible. If you have it.

Speaker Change: So when importantly before leaders right.

Speaker Change: Platform approach and it takes.

Speaker Change: And that made a lot of focus in two wheelers to still have a lot of opportunity to go after on the <unk> side.

Speaker Change: A fair amount of time to put that in place today I would say that in terms of being able to do these things at scale very few companies and.

Speaker Change: And.

Speaker Change: The progress been made with under that we talked about this in the previous quarter.

Speaker Change: Or.

Speaker Change: Compared and meet our levels of scheme and Pep organization corporate emerging at this impact.
