OVERVIEW
Pat D’Eramo, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our Company had some notable achievements in 2025. We generated a record level of Free Cash Flow(1) and further strengthened our balance sheet. Our safety record continues to be world class, with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency of 0.71 – a 28% improvement over 2024, and notably better than the industry average. We won several quality awards from our customers. Our Advanced Manufacturing Team (AMT) made further progress with machine learning installations across our network, and we acquired a 10% equity stake in Polyalgorithm Machine Learning Inc. (PolyML), a provider of machine learning AI solutions used by Martinrea for adaptive welding and press health monitoring. In addition, we acquired the assets of Lyseon North America Inc., a manufacturer of metal parts and assemblies, primarily for school buses.”
He continued: “We are pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter, both operationally and financially, as we continue to execute on sales, operating improvements, and commercial recoveries with our customers, largely for volume shortfalls on EV programs. We are navigating the impact of tariffs on our business, and I am pleased to report that we have been successful in negotiating the recovery of the vast majority of our tariff costs through agreements with our OEM customers. For the full year of 2025, we met our outlook for sales and Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1), which came in at 5.6%, above the midpoint of our 5.3%-5.8% outlook range.”
Peter Cirulis, Chief Financial Officer, stated: “We are pleased with our Free Cash Flow(1) performance during 2025, which came in at $199.0 million (excluding principal payments of IFRS 16 lease liabilities), a new record for the Company, and above the high end of our 2025 outlook range of $125-$175 million. This reflects our strong operating performance and capital discipline, including the optimization and reuse of existing assets. Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA(1) (excluding IFRS 16 impact) ended the year at 1.35x, well within our target of 1.5x or better. We achieved this while resuming our share buyback activity under our normal course issuer bid, repurchasing approximately 779,000 shares for $8.0 million in the fourth quarter. Looking at the fourth quarter, sales, excluding tooling sales of $60.6 million, were $1,126.7 million. Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 4.6% was up 110 basis points year over year on production sales that were up about 7%, or 6% excluding approximately $14 million in sales from the acquisition of Lyseon North America Inc.”
Fred Di Tosto, President, stated: “I am pleased to announce that we have been awarded new business representing $210 million in annualized sales at mature volumes, consisting of approximately $180 million in Lightweight Structures with Stellantis, Toyota, General Motors, Audi and others, $20 million in Propulsion Systems with Stellantis and Ford, and $10 million in our Flexible Manufacturing Group with Volvo Truck and JCB. Over the last twelve months, we have been awarded new business worth approximately $340 million in annualized sales at mature volumes. Quoting activity is robust, and we have recently won several program extensions with a value of over $1 billion in annualized sales.”
Rob Wildeboer, Executive Chairman, stated: “Our financial performance in 2026 is expected to be broadly consistent with 2025, as the end of the Ford Escape program is expected to be offset by continued operating and other improvements. Our 2026 outlook calls for total sales of $4.5 to $4.9 billion, an Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 5.5% to 6.0%, and continued solid Free Cash Flow(1), in a range of $125 to $175 million (excluding principal payments of IFRS 16 lease liabilities).”
He continued: “Looking further out, we see a lot of opportunity for our business, including inquiries from our customers asking us to look at taking over business from distressed suppliers. We also see opportunities from the rebalancing of global trade that should result in meaningful volumes being reshored to the U.S., increased quoting activity, and potential acquisitions. The cadence of our launches should contribute meaningful organic sales growth over the next few years. Based on our Board-approved budgets, we expect total sales of between $5.3 and $5.5 billion in 2028, assuming no major acquisitions. This should help drive Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) to a range of 6.5% to 7.0%. To our shareholders and all our stakeholders, thank you for your continued support.”

*Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were positively impacted by an unusually low effective tax rate. This was driven primarily by the magnitude and pace of the appreciation of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. dollar, which is the functional currency of the Company’s Mexican operations. In situations where the local and functional currencies differ, IFRS, contrary to US GAAP, requires the tax value of assets and liabilities denominated in local currency to be revalued to the operations' functional currency at the reporting date, with the related foreign exchange movements impacting the tax expense for the period. These foreign exchange movements are non-cash in nature, do not impact cash taxes and tend to balance out over time. Including this, and other foreign exchange related items, the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 17.3%. Excluding these foreign exchange items, the effective tax rate for the year would have been 32.6%. Using this normalized tax rate of 32.6%, Adjusted Net Earnings per Share would have been $0.37 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and $1.83 for the year ended December 31, 2025.
**Non-IFRS Measures
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures include “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)”, “Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Share (on a basic and diluted basis)”, “Adjusted Operating Income”, "Adjusted EBITDA”, “Free Cash Flow”, "Free Cash Flow (after IFRS 16 lease payments)", and “Net Debt”.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of IFRS “Net Income (Loss)” to Non-IFRS “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)”, “Adjusted Operating Income” and “Adjusted EBITDA”:

The Company’s consolidated sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by $36.4 million or 3.2% to $1,187.3 million as compared to $1,150.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The total increase in sales was driven by year-over-year increases in the North America and Europe operating segments, partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in the Rest of the World.
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 in the Company’s North America operating segment increased by $19.4 million or 2.2% to $900.5 million from $881.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The operations acquired from Lyseon North America, Inc. ("Lyseon"), results for which were consolidated with those of the Company effective October 20, 2025, contributed $14.2 million of year-over-year sales to the North America operating segment. Excluding the acquired operations, fourth quarter sales in North America increased by $5.2 million or 0.6%. The increase was due to higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, General Motors' electric vehicle platforms (BEV3/BET), General Motors' large pick-up truck and SUV platforms, Nissan Pathfinder and Rogue, and General Motors' Equinox/Terrain; the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 of $12.3 million; and the launch and ramp up of new programs, including Volvo's new electric vehicle platform (EX90), and General Motors' new electric vehicle platform (Chevrolet Bolt). These positive factors were partially offset by a decrease in tooling sales of $43.1 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including the Ford Escape and Maverick, the Lucid Air, the Ford Mustang Mach E, and Mercedes' electric vehicle platform (EVA2); and programs that ended production during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2024, specifically the Chevrolet Malibu.
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 in the Company’s Europe operating segment increased by $19.3 million or 7.9% to $262.9 million from $243.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was due to a higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including aluminum engine blocks for Ford and Mercedes, a transmission for the ZF Group, and the Stellantis' Fiat Mini platform; the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 of $18.0 million; an increase in tooling sales of $7.7 million, which are typically dependent of the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; and the launch and ramp up of new programs during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2024, including a transmission for Audi. These positive factors were partially offset by lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including the Lucid Air, Jaguar Land Rover, and Mercedes' electric vehicle platform (EVA2).
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $5.3 million or 16.7% to $26.5 million from $31.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was largely driven by a decrease in tooling sales of $6.3 million, and lower year-over-year production volumes with General Motors and Mercedes; partially offset by higher volumes with BMW.
Overall tooling sales decreased by $41.7 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $60.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 from $102.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Company’s consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $192.3 million or 3.8% to $4,821.9 million as compared to $5,014.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The total decrease in sales was driven by year-over-year decreases across all operating segments.
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the Company’s North America operating segment decreased by $111.5 million or 2.9% to $3,678.4 million from $3,789.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The operations acquired from Lyseon, results for which were consolidated with those of the Company effective October 20, 2025, contributed $14.2 million of year-over-year sales to the North America operating segment. Excluding the acquired operations, sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 in North America decreased by $125.7 million or 3.3%. The decrease was due to programs that ended production during or subsequent to the corresponding period of 2024, specifically the Chevrolet Malibu, an aluminum engine block for Stellantis, and the Ford Edge; lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including the Ford Escape and Maverick, Mercedes' electric vehicle platform (EVA2), the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, Nissan Pathfinder and Rogue, and General Motors' large pick-up truck and SUV platforms; and a decrease in tooling sales of $21.9 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These negative factors were partially offset by higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including General Motors' electric vehicle platforms (BEV3/BET), the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Mustang Mach E, General Motors' Equinox/Terrain, a transmission for the ZF Group, and the Lucid Air; the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $84.3 million; and the launch and ramp up of new programs, including Volvo's new electric vehicle platform (EX90), and General Motors' new electric vehicle platform (Chevrolet Bolt). Overall industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes during the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased in North America by approximately 1% year-over-year.
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the Company’s Europe operating segment decreased by $80.6 million or 7.2% to $1,034.4 million from $1,115.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including Jaguar Land Rover, aluminum engine blocks for Ford and Mercedes, and the Mercedes' electric vehicle platform (EVA2); a decrease in tooling sales of $37.6 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; and programs that ended production during or subsequent to the corresponding period of 2024, specifically the BMW Mini. These negative factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $51.7 million; higher year-over-year OEM production volumes of certain platforms, including a transmission for the ZF Group, the Lucid Air, and the Stellantis' Fiat Mini platform; and the launch and ramp up of new programs, including Volkswagen's new electric vehicle platform (PPE), and a transmission for Audi. Overall industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes during the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased in Europe by approximately 1% year-over-year.
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $7.5 million or 5.6% to $127.0 million from $134.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was largely driven by lower year-over-year production volumes with Jaguar Land Rover and Mercedes, and a decrease in tooling sales of $8.4 million; partially offset by higher year-over-year production volumes with General Motors and BMW.
Overall tooling sales decreased by $65.9 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $211.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $277.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
GROSS MARGIN

| % of Sales | | 11.9 | % | | | 11.2 | % | | | | | |
The gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2025 of 11.9% increased as a percentage of sales by 0.7% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2024 of 11.2%. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to:
- overall higher production sales and corresponding contribution;
- a decrease in tooling sales which typically earn lower margin for the Company;
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities and other improvements; and
- lower year-over-year depreciation expense due to impairment charges recorded during the fourth quarter of 2024.
These factors were partially offset by operational inefficiencies at certain other operating facilities.

The gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2025 of 13.4% increased as a percentage of sales by 0.5% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2024 of 12.9%. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to:
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities and other improvements;
- a decrease in tooling sales which typically earn lower margin for the Company; and
- lower year-over-year depreciation expense due to impairment charges recorded during the fourth quarter of 2024.
These factors were partially offset by:
- overall lower production sales volume and corresponding contribution; and
- operational inefficiencies at certain other operating facilities.
Overall market related inflationary pressures on labour, material and energy costs, along with offsetting commercial settlements, were generally stable year-over-year.
ADJUSTMENTS TO NET INCOME (LOSS)
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes certain items as set out in the following tables and described in the notes thereto.

(1)
| Impairment of assets |
| | |
| | During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded impairment charges on property, plant and equipment of $30.4 million, inventories of $8.5 million, and development costs of $0.6 million, totalling $39.5 million. Of this amount, $36.2 million relates to impairment charges resulting from the end of production of a certain OEM light vehicle platform which led to the decision to close a facility in the North America operating segment. The remaining amount of $3.4 million relates to impairment charges on property, plant and equipment in the Europe operating segment where the carrying amount of the assets exceeded their estimated recoverable amounts. |
| | |
| | During the fourth quarter of 2024, in conjunction with its annual business planning cycle, the Company recorded impairment charges on property, plant and equipment of $102.1 million, right-of-use assets of $6.6 million, intangible assets of $1.3 million, and inventories of $0.4 million, totaling $110.4 million. Of this amount, $65.3 million relates to Cash Generating Units ("CGUs") in the Europe operating segment, $25.8 million relates to a CGU in the North America operating segment, and $19.3 million relates to CGUs in Brazil, China and South Africa, included in the Rest of the World operating segment. As at December 31, 2024, the Company’s CGUs were recorded at carrying values that did not exceed their recoverable amounts determined using an income approach to determine fair value less costs to sell. Discount rates used in the determination of the recoverable amounts of these CGUs ranged between 9.3% to 13.5%. |
| | |
| | The Company also separately identified specific assets for which no further use was identified, and recorded impairment charges on property, plant and equipment of $14.9 million, intangible assets of $3.0 million relating to development costs, and inventories of $1.1 million, totaling $19.0 million. Of this amount, $9.8 million were in the North America operating segment, and $9.2 million were in the Rest of the World operating segment. |
| | |
| | The impairment charges resulted from lower than expected production volumes on certain OEM light vehicle platforms, largely electric vehicles due to the significantly lower than expected adoption rate of such vehicles in the marketplace, and the cancellation of certain OEM light vehicle platforms before the end of their expected life cycles. In conjunction with this and as a result of lower production volumes, the Company has decided to close an operating facility in the Rest of the World during 2025. A lack of future income stream contributed to a writedown of deferred tax assets of $1.5 million. |
| | |
| | The impairment charges were recorded where the carrying amount of the assets exceeded their estimated recoverable amounts. Reasonably possible changes in key assumptions could result in material changes to the carrying amounts of the CGUs. |
| | |
(2)
| Restructuring costs |
| | |
| | Additions to the restructuring provision for the year ended December 31, 2025 totalled $36.1 million, of which $3.0 million was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2025, and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of certain operations in Germany, Mexico, Canada, and the United States, and the closure of an operating facility in the North America operating segment, resulting from the end of production of a certain OEM light vehicle platform. |
| | |
| | Additions to the restructuring provision for the year ended December 31, 2024 totaled $12.6 million, of which $1.0 million was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2024, and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of certain operations in Germany, Mexico, Canada, and the United States. |

| Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Share* | | | | | | | | | |
| Basic and Diluted | $ | 0.67 | | | $ | (0.21 | ) | | | | | |
Net Income (Loss), before adjustments, for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by $149.0 million to a Net Income of $15.7 million or $0.22 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from a Net Loss of $133.3 million or ($1.82) per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table A under "Adjustments to Net Income (Loss)", Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by $63.9 million to Adjusted Net Income of $48.3 million or $0.67 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from an Adjusted Net Loss of ($15.6) million or ($0.21) per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Adjusted Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, was positively impacted by the following:
- a higher gross margin as previously explained;
- a $2.7 million year-over-year decrease in finance expense as a result of decreased debt levels and lower borrowing rates on the Company's revolving bank debt;
- a year-over-year decrease in SG&A expense, as previously explained; and
- a lower effective tax rate ((20.4)% for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 175.8% for the fourth quarter of 2024), which was driven primarily by the magnitude and pace of the appreciation of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. dollar, as explained below.

Net Income (Loss), before adjustments, for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $141.5 million to a Net Income of $107.0 million or $1.47 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from a Net Loss of $34.5 million or ($0.46) per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table B under “Adjustments to Net Income (Loss)”, Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $72.3 million to $163.3 million or $2.25 per share on a basic and diluted basis, from $91.0 million or $1.21 per share on a basic basis, and $1.20 on a diluted basis, for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, was positively impacted by the following:
- an $11.8 million year-over-year decrease in finance expense as a result of decreased debt levels and lower borrowing rates on the Company's revolving bank debt; and
- a lower effective tax rate (17.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 53.2% for the year ended December 31, 2024).
- These factors were partially offset by the following:
- a net foreign exchange loss of $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a gain of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024; and
- lower gross margin from lower year-over-year sales volume
*Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were positively impacted by an unusually low effective tax rate. This was driven primarily by the magnitude and pace of the appreciation of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. dollar, which is the functional currency of the Company’s Mexican operations. In situations where the local and functional currencies differ, IFRS, contrary to US GAAP, requires the tax value of assets and liabilities denominated in local currency to be revalued to the operations' functional currency at the reporting date, with the related foreign exchange movements impacting the tax expense for the period. These foreign exchange movements are non-cash in nature, do not impact cash taxes and tend to balance out over time. Including this, and other foreign exchange related items, the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 17.3%. Excluding these foreign exchange items, the effective tax rate for the year would have been 32.6%. Using this normalized tax rate of 32.6%, Adjusted Net Earnings per Share would have been $0.37 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and $1.83 for the year ended December 31, 2025.
