Delphi Technologies (DLPH) Q1 Earnings Beat, Revenues Lag
Read MoreHide Full Article
Delphi Technologies PLC first-quarter 2019 adjusted earnings per share of 67 cents beat the consensus mark by 12 cents but declined 48.5% on a year-over-year basis on unfavorable product mix, lower volume and unfavorable currency exchange movements, which were partially offset by improvements in operational performance.
So far this year, shares of Delphi Technologies have gained 49.6% compared with 19.5% rise of the industry it belongs to.
Revenues in Detail
Revenues of $1.15 billion missed the consensus estimate by $12 million and decreased 11.2% year over year on a reported basis and 6% on an adjusted basis (adjustments were made for currency exchange).
The top line was hurt by lower sales in China and lower passenger car diesel revenues in Europe. This was, however, partially offset by solid double-digit growth in Power Electronics and Commercial Vehicle Systems, which grew approximately 10% each in the reported quarter.
Segment-wise, Powertrain Systems revenues of $1.02 billion decreased 11.5% year over year on a reported basis and 7% on an adjusted basis.

Revenues for Delphi Technologies Aftermarket of $193 million declined 11.1% year over year on a reported basis and 6% on an adjusted basis. Segmental revenues were impacted by the timing of certain customer programs, which shifted into the second quarter.
