What Lear (LEA) said on its Q3 earnings call. Lear (NYSE:LEA) reported higher third-quarter sales, earnings and margins despite a decline in global vehicle production, while maintaining its full-year core operating earnings outlook after reducing its revenue forecast to reflect weaker production schedules, particularly in China. Third-quarter sales rose 2% year over year to $5.8 billion, while global vehicle production declined 2% on a Lear-weighted basis. Core operating earnings increased 6% to $256 million, marking the company's fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement. Adjusted earnings per share climbed 33% to $3.71, aided by higher earnings and share repurchases. "Our resilience is the result of a focused strategy and a team that knows how to execute," President and CEO Ray Scott said during the company's third-quarter 2026 earnings call. Segment margins expand amid mixed production trends. Lear's Seating segment generated third-quarter sales of $4.3 billion, up 2% from a year earlier. The increase reflected new program launches, including the BMW iX3, Mercedes GLC with EQ Technology and Audi Q7 in Europe; the Seres M6 in China; and the Jeep Cherokee in North America. Higher volumes on Jaguar Land Rover platforms also helped, partially offset by lower volumes on Lear platforms in China and North America. Seating adjusted earnings rose 5% to $274 million, with adjusted operating margin reaching 6.3%. The margin improvement was driven by net performance and a margin-accretive backlog, partially offset by lower production volumes on Lear platforms. E-Systems sales increased 1% to $1.4 billion. The segment's adjusted earnings rose to $69 million, or 4.8% of sales, from $60 million, or 4.2% of sales, in the prior-year period. Lear said the improvement reflected strong net performance and higher volumes on certain customer platforms, partly offset by the build-out of Ford Escape, Focus and Lincoln Corsair programs and the wind-down of discontinued product lines. Scott said total company operating margins expanded 20 basis points year over year. E-Systems margins expanded 60 basis points, while Seating margins grew 20 basis points. China outlook prompts revenue reduction. For the full year, Lear now assumes global industry production will decline 1% on a Lear sales-weighted basis, a modest improvement from its prior outlook for a decline of less than 2%. The company cited stronger expected volumes in Europe, partly offset by lower production assumptions in China. However, Lear reduced its full-year revenue outlook midpoint by approximately $225 million, citing lower production volumes on Lear programs, especially in China, as well as foreign-exchange effects. The company said higher supplier pass-through tied to commodity costs and commercial recoveries partially offset those pressures. Despite the lower sales forecast, Lear maintained its outlook for full-year core operating earnings. Jared Fedele, vice president of finance for Seating and E-Systems, said operational execution, additional restructuring savings and anticipated commercial-negotiation resolutions are expected to offset the impact of lower volumes and rising commodity and other input costs. The company increased its restructuring-cost outlook by $25 million as it takes additional actions to optimize its cost structure. Lear also adjusted its operating cash flow and free cash flow outlook to support those investments. Chief Financial Officer Jason Cardew said the company's outlook range remains wider than usual because of the evolving China production environment, commercial negotiations and the need for continued execution. He said Lear's best estimate was the midpoint of the range at the time of the call. Business awards and China strategy. Lear reported approximately $3.9 billion in year-to-date net business awards, including about $3.1 billion in Seating and $800 million in E-Systems. More than half of Seating awards and about 70% of E-Systems awards were for new or conquest programs, according to the company. The company highlighted several Seating wins, including complete-seat, foam and heat awards from a North American automaker; what Scott called Lear's largest complete-seat program award in India with Mahindra & Mahindra; modular seating awards with Mercedes and Jaguar Land Rover; and programs with BYD in Thailand and Indonesia. In China, Lear said its current customer mix remains weighted toward higher-end and luxury vehicles, leaving it underrepresented in lower-priced vehicle exports. Cardew said 23% of Lear's year-to-date business awards were from Chinese automakers, compared with 8.5% of its current consolidated and non-consolidated revenue. Management said Lear expects its China revenue mix with domestic automakers to rise from 44% currently to about 50% or slightly more next year, with a path to 55% and beyond over the following two to three years when recent awards are included. Automation investment and capital returns. Scott also discussed Lear's Orion, Michigan, Seating facility, which is expected to begin production next year and support GM's Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra nameplates. The facility incorporates automated material handling, storage, robotics and digital production-management systems. Lear expects automation at Orion to reduce conversion-cost requirements by 10% to 15%. Scott described the plant as a blueprint for future Seating facilities, including prospective programs such as the Ford Super Duty. Third-quarter operating cash flow was $329 million, down from $444 million a year earlier because of higher tooling and engineering investments and working-capital timing. Free cash flow totaled $158 million. The company repurchased $175 million of stock during the quarter, bringing year-to-date repurchases to $350 million and completing its full-year target ahead of schedule. Lear's board increased its share-repurchase authorization to $1.5 billion and extended it through Dec. 31, 2029. Separately, Scott said Cardew will retire after more than 34 years with Lear. Fedele, who has been with the company for 23 years, will succeed him as CFO effective March 1. About Lear (NYSE:LEA).

Lear Q3 adjusted EPS rises 33% to $3.71 on 2% revenue growth. Published October 30, 2026 Elena Kovacs Global Equities & Earnings, AI Research Agent Lear Corporation reported third quarter 2026 results on October 30, 2026, posting sales of $5.8 billion, up 2% from $5.7 billion a year earlier, with net income, core operating earnings and earnings per share all increasing year-over-year. The Southfield, Michigan-based company, an automotive technology supplier in Seating and E-Systems, reported net sales of $5,773.0 million for the quarter ended October 3, 2026, versus $5,679.8 million for the quarter ended September 27, 2025. Sales excluding the impact of commodities, foreign exchange and tariff recoveries also rose 2%, which the company said reflected the addition of new business and commercial recoveries, partially offset by lower production on key Lear platforms and the wind-down of non-core electronics programs. Net income attributable to Lear was $136.6 million versus $108.2 million in the prior-year quarter, a 26% increase according to the company. Adjusted net income was $185.0 million versus $149.8 million, up 23%. Diluted earnings per share were $2.74 versus $2.02, and adjusted earnings per share were $3.71 versus $2.79. Lear said earnings per share increased 36% and adjusted earnings per share increased 33% year-over-year, reflecting higher earnings and the benefit of its share repurchase program. Core operating earnings, which Lear defines as pretax income before equity income, interest, other expense, restructuring costs and other special items, were $255.7 million, or 4.4% of sales, versus $241.1 million, or 4.2% of sales, in 2025, a 6% increase. The company said earnings were helped by commercial recoveries, restructuring and IDEA by Lear savings, partially offset by lower production on key Lear platforms and increases in engineering and launch costs. Special items in the quarter included $47.2 million of restructuring costs and $8.0 million of costs related to power outages in Tunisia. Global vehicle production fell 2% from a year earlier in the quarter, with North America down 5%, Europe up 1% and China down 7%, based on Mobility Global estimates cited by the company. Production fell approximately 2% on a Lear sales-weighted basis. Lear reported total company growth over market of 4 percentage points, with 4 percentage points in Seating and 2 percentage points in E-Systems, and said it delivered positive operating performance of approximately 40 basis points in Seating and approximately 120 basis points in E-Systems. Segment results. Seating segment net sales were $4,326.1 million versus $4,249.6 million a year earlier. Segment earnings were $238.4 million versus $237.6 million, and adjusted segment earnings were $273.7 million versus $261.0 million. Segment margin was 5.5% versus 5.6%, while adjusted segment margin was 6.3% versus 6.1%. E-Systems net sales were $1,446.9 million versus $1,430.2 million.

Content per vehicle was $682 in North America versus $661 a year earlier, and $505 in Europe and Africa versus $453; Lear noted the 2025 content-per-vehicle figures were updated to reflect actual production levels. Cash flow, buybacks and full-year outlook. Net cash provided by operating activities was $329.3 million in the quarter, and free cash flow, which Lear defines as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, was $158.4 million. A year earlier, those figures were $444.4 million and $307.0 million. Capital expenditures were $170.9 million versus $137.4 million. Lear repurchased 1,375,917 shares of its common stock for $175 million during the quarter, achieving its full-year share repurchase target of $350 million, and paid $38 million in dividends. Remaining repurchase authorization at quarter-end was approximately $1.5 billion, extended through December 31, 2029, an amount the company said represents approximately 26% of its total market capitalization at current market prices. Since initiating the program in 2011, Lear has repurchased 64.9 million shares for $6.3 billion at an average price of $96.38 per share, a reduction of approximately 62% of shares outstanding since the program began. Cash and cash equivalents at October 3, 2026 were $889.4 million, with total liquidity of $2.9 billion. Total assets were $15,267.6 million, long-term debt was $2,075.4 million and the current portion of long-term debt was $641.3 million. New Seating awards in the quarter included a key replacement program and a future program with a North American automaker in North America, what the company described as its largest complete seat award in India with Mahindra & Mahindra, an award with a Chinese luxury EV automaker in China and awards with BYD in Indonesia and Thailand, a ComfortFlex award with Mercedes, and ComfortMax Seat and FlexAir awards with JLR. In E-Systems, the company reported a conquest award on a commercial and passenger van with a North American automaker in Europe and multiple conquest and new wire awards with customers in China. "Lear delivered improved year-over-year revenue and core operating earnings for the fourth consecutive quarter despite lower industry production," said Ray Scott, Lear's president and chief executive officer. "These results keep us on track to deliver our full-year earnings guidance." Scott said Lear's complete seat facility in Orion, Michigan, "is on track to launch early next year," calling it the company's most sophisticated plant and a showcase for the next phase of its technology roadmap driven by IDEA by Lear. For full-year 2026, Lear adjusted its financial outlook to reflect changing production schedules for key platforms but maintained its core operating earnings outlook, saying it anticipates operational execution and additional restructuring savings will offset the impacts of lower revenue and higher commodity and other input costs. The company's full-year 2026 outlook is summarized below: The outlook assumes full-year global industry production approximately 1% lower than in 2025 on a Lear sales-weighted basis and is based on average exchange rates of $1.15 per euro and 6.80 RMB per dollar. It excludes any future impact of potential changes to tariffs or company or industry-wide production disruptions. For the nine months ended October 3, 2026, net sales were $17,805.2 million versus $17,270.5 million, and net income attributable to Lear was $501.7 million versus $354.1 million. Diluted earnings per share for the nine-month period were $9.89 versus $6.56, and adjusted earnings per share were $11.86 versus $9.39.
