Ray Scott, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lear

“Lear delivered improved year-over-year revenue and core operating earnings for the fourth consecutive quarter despite lower industry production. These results keep us on track to deliver our full-year earnings guidance. We continue to win significant new business awards, including complete seats for two important programs with a North American automaker, our largest complete seat award in India with Mahindra & Mahindra, where we are the market leader, and complete seats for future programs with a Chinese luxury EV automaker and with BYD. We continue to grow in E-Systems with a conquest electronics award on a commercial and passenger van in Europe, and both conquest and new wire awards with multiple customers in China”

Ray Scott, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lear

“Our complete seat facility in Orion, Michigan, is on track to launch early next year. This is our most sophisticated plant and a showcase for the next phase of our technology roadmap driven by IDEA by Lear™. Our strong cash generation enabled us to achieve our full-year share repurchase target of $350 million, driving continued earnings per share growth while sustaining our dividend. We remain committed to returning cash to shareholders, as demonstrated by our expanded share repurchase authorization to $1.5 billion, which has been extended through December 31, 2029.”
