PHINIA REPORTS SOLID Q4 AND FULL YEAR 2023 RESULTS, INTRODUCES 2024 OUTLOOK

Auburn Hills, Michigan, February 21, 2024 – PHINIA Inc. (NYSE: PHIN), a leader in premium fuel systems, electrical systems, and aftermarket products, today reported its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023 results.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:

•U.S. GAAP net sales of $882 million, an increase of 3.6% compared with Q4 2022.

◦Excluding $24 million of contract manufacturing sales, sales were up slightly compared to Q4 2022. Positive customer pricing, positive FX and growth in light vehicle original equipment (OE) sales were partially offset by lower commercial vehicle (CV) OE sales in China.

•Operating income of $81 million and adjusted operating income of $89 million, resulting in an operating margin of 9.2% and an adjusted operating margin of 10.4%, a year-over-year decrease of 100 basis points (bps) and 80 bps, respectively.

◦Q4 2023 segment adjusted operating margins were healthy at 12.6%, 90 bps ahead of the average segment adjusted operating margin for the first 9 months of the year. Operating margins declined from the prior year primarily from lower CV volumes in China and higher non-commodity inflationary costs that were not fully recovered from customers.

•U.S. GAAP net earnings of $0.70 per diluted share.

◦Excluding $0.01 per diluted share related to non-comparable items (detailed in the non-GAAP appendix below), adjusted net earnings of $0.71 per diluted share.

•Net earnings of $33 million with net margin of 3.7% and adjusted EBITDA of $127 million with adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.8%, a year-over-year decrease of 20 bps.

•Net cash provided by operating activities of $62 million.

◦ Adjusted free cash flow was $55 million.

Full Year 2023 Highlights:

•U.S. GAAP net sales of $3,500 million, an increase of 4.5% compared with 2022.

◦Excluding $50 million of contract manufacturing sales, sales were up slightly compared to 2022. Positive customer pricing and growth in light vehicle OE sales was partially offset by lower CV OE sales in China and weaker foreign currency translation effect, primarily Chinese Renminbi.

•Operating income of $241 million and adjusted operating income of $347 million, resulting in an operating margin of 6.9% and an adjusted operating margin of 10.1%, a year-over-year decrease of 260 bps and 80 bps, respectively.

◦Operating margins declined primarily from lower CV volumes in China and higher non-commodity inflationary costs that were not fully recovered from customers.

•U.S. GAAP net earnings of $2.17 per diluted share.

◦Excluding $1.96 per diluted share related to non-comparable items (detailed in the

non-GAAP appendix below), adjusted net earnings of $4.13 per diluted share.

•Net earnings of $102 million with net margin of 2.9% and adjusted EBITDA of $490 million with adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.2%, a year-over-year decrease of 90 bps.

•Net cash provided by operating activities of $250 million.

◦Adjusted free cash flow was $161 million.

Key Wins in Strategic Growth Markets:

New business wins remained strong across all end markets. Notable examples of new business awards in Q4 include:

•Conquest business win to supply GDi fuel system to a leading OEM specializing in hybrid and low emission powertrain technology in the light vehicle segment, for their European and Asian business.

•Contract to supply next generation heavy duty Diesel Fuel Systems to a leading Global OEM, extending existing relationship in core commercial vehicle segment.

•Important business win to supply medium duty Diesel Fuel Systems to a leading Global OEM, securing existing business and expanding market share in the commercial vehicle segment.

Brady Ericson, President, and Chief Executive Officer of PHINIA commented: "Our Q4 results were stronger than expected as the North American strike impact was lower than anticipated, foreign currency moved in our favor, and we executed well with strong cost controls. Working capital continued to improve from Q3 as the team focused on efficiency. We continue to demonstrate resilient core operational performance with total segment adjusted operating margins coming in stronger than the first 9-month average results. I’m pleased with our teams’ focus on serving our customers while closing out 2023 with solid cost and margin performance. PHINIA continues to win new business at a record pace that we expect will support average annual low single digit top line growth through this decade. We ended the quarter with $365 million in cash on hand and net leverage of less than 1 times EBITDA - leaving us in a solid financial position.

During the quarter, we continued to return capital to our shareholders paying another roughly $11 million in dividends and buying back our shares at an increased pace, repurchasing $15 million in the quarter for a total of $24 million in 2023. We expect to continue to be opportunistic in terms of future share repurchases.”

2024 Full Year Guidance:

We expect strong earnings and cash generation in 2024 as we continue to drive operational efficiencies, exit agreements with our former parent and grow our Aftermarket sales. On the OE side, industry-wide CV volumes in 2024 are expected to decline mid to high single digits percent in North America and Europe, while other global CV markets are expected to be up slightly. Global LV volumes are expected to be down slightly with engine production declining mid-single digits. In 2024, PHINIA expects net sales of $3.42 billion to $3.57 billion, adjusted sales of $3.40 billion to $3.55 billion (down 1% to up 3% versus 2023 adjusted sales), net earnings and margin of $125 million to $160 million and 3.7% to 4.5%, respectively, adjusted EBITDA of $470 million to $510 million, and adjusted EBITDA margins of 13.8% to 14.4%. PHINIA expects to generate $160 to $200 million in adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted tax rate is expected to be 28-32%.

The Company will host a conference call to review fourth quarter 2023 results and full year 2024 outlook and take questions from the investment community at 8:30 a.m. ET today. This call will be webcast at PHINIA Q4 2023 Earnings Call. Additional presentation materials will be available at investors.phinia.com.

1 During the course of preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (Form 10-K), the Company identified an intercompany loan that had not properly been accounted for in connection with the Spin-Off resulting in expense being understated by $12 million in the Company's income statement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company is correcting the misstatement, which will be more fully described in Note 26 of the Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains information about PHINIA’s financial results that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. The reconciliations include all information reasonably available to the Company on this date and the adjustments that management can reasonably predict.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management, investors, and banking institutions in their analysis of the Company's business and operating performance. Management also uses this information for operational planning and decision-making purposes.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered a substitute for any GAAP measure. Additionally, because not all companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented by PHINIA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of each of projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

The Company defines adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as net earnings less interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring expense, separation and transaction costs, other postretirement expense (income), equity in affiliates' earnings, net of tax, impairment charges, other net expenses, and other gains and losses not reflective of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted sales.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin

The Company defines adjusted operating income as operating income adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring expense, separation and transaction costs, intangible asset amortization expense, impairment charges, other net expenses, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income divided by adjusted sales.

Adjusted Sales

The Company defines adjusted sales as net sales adjusted to exclude certain contract manufacturing agreements with BorgWarner that were entered into in connection with the spin-off.

Adjusted Net Earnings Per Diluted Share

The Company defines adjusted net earnings per diluted share as net earnings per share adjusted to exclude the tax-effected impact of restructuring expense, separation and transaction costs, intangible asset amortization, impairment charges, other net expenses, and other gains, losses and tax amounts not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities after adding back adjustments related to the ongoing effects of separation-related transactions, less capital expenditures, including tooling outlays.
