Results of Operations
−Removed: Versigent typically experiences fluctuations in revenue due to changes in OEM production schedules, vehicle sales mix and the net of new and lost business (which we refer to collectively as volume), increased prices attributable to escalation clauses in our supply contracts for recovery of increased commodity costs (which we refer to as commodity pass-through), fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (which we refer to as “FX”), contractual reductions of the sales price to the OEM (which we refer to as contractual price reductions) and engineering changes.
−Removed: Changes in sales mix can have either favorable or unfavorable impacts on revenue.
−Removed: Such changes can be the result of shifts in regional growth, shifts in OEM sales demand, as well as shifts in consumer demand related to vehicle segment purchases and content penetration.
−Removed: For instance, a shift in sales demand favoring a particular OEMs’ vehicle model for which we do not have a supply contract may negatively impact our revenue.
−Removed: A shift in regional sales demand toward certain markets could favorably impact the sales of those of our customers that have a large market share in those regions, which in turn would be expected to have a favorable impact on our revenue.
−Removed: We typically experience (as described below) fluctuations in operating income due to:
−Removed: • Volume, net of contractual price reductions—changes in volume offset by contractual price reductions (which typically range from 1% to 3% of net sales) and changes in mix;
−Removed: • Operational performance—changes to costs for materials and commodities or manufacturing and engineering variances;
−Removed: • Other—including restructuring costs and any remaining variances not included in Volume, net of contractual price reductions or Operational performance.
−Removed: The automotive technology and component supply industry is traditionally subject to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials and labor which may place operational and profitability burdens on the entire supply chain.
−Removed: For instance, the industry has recently been subjected to increased pricing pressures, specifically in relation to copper, which has experienced significant volatility in price.
−Removed: We have also been impacted globally by increased overall inflation as a result of a variety of global trends.
−Removed: Due to various factors, the industry has recently been impacted by increased operating and logistics challenges from certain global supply chain disruptions.
−Removed: For example, the rapidly evolving trade policies and tariff actions could result in increased pricing pressures on our global supply chain, which could adversely affect our business and financial results.
−Removed: We expect commodity cost volatility to have a continual impact on future earnings and/or operating cash flows.
−Removed: management continues to seek to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost exposures using a number of approaches, including combining purchase requirements with our customers and/or suppliers, using alternate suppliers or product designs, and negotiating cost reductions and/or commodity cost contract escalation clauses into our vehicle manufacturer supply contracts.
−Removed: We have also negotiated, and will continue to negotiate as necessary, price increases with our customers in response to the aforementioned increased overall inflation and global supply chain disruptions.
