Delphi Technologies PLC reported mixed third-quarter 2018 results, wherein earnings lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues surpassed the same.
Adjusted earnings per share of 72 cents missed the consensus mark by a penny and declined 42.4% year over year on unfavorable product mix, interest expense related to the issuance of debt in 2017 and spin-related costs associated with becoming a standalone public company.
So far this year, shares of Delphi Technologies have lost 61.5% compared with 1.7% decline of the industry it belongs to.
Revenues in Detail
Revenues of $1.16 billion beat the consensus mark by $15.5 million. However, the top line was down 3.8% year over year on a reported basis and 1% on an adjusted basis (adjustments were made for currency exchange and certain aftermarket original equipment service revenue retained by the former parent).
The top line was hurt by lower revenues in China (down 12%) due to a decline in GDi revenues to local OEM customers and overall market decline. This was, however, partially offset by strong growth in Power Electronics and Commercial Vehicle Systems, which grew approximately 35% and 20%, respectively, in the reported quarter.
Segment-wise, Powertrain Systems revenues of $1.01 billion decreased 3.1% year over year on a reported basis and 2% on an adjusted basis. In the reported quarter, lower revenues in passenger car diesel, the impact of WLTP and softness in GDi was partially offset by strong growth in Power Electronics and Commercial Vehicle.
Revenues for Delphi Technologies Aftermarket declined 10.7% year over year on a reported basis and 1% on an adjusted basis to $217 million. Lower sales through the OES channel more than offset higher sales to independent Aftermarket customers.
Region-wise, revenue growth was 15% in South America, 5% in Europe and 3% in North America. Revenues from Asia declined 13%.
Operating Results
Adjusted operating income of $108 million decreased 26.5% from the prior-year quarter due toan unfavorable product mix, spin-related costs associated with becoming a standalone public company, foreign exchange headwinds and higher commodity and tariff-related costs. Adjusted operating income margin declined from 12.2% in the year-ago quarter to 9.3%.
Segment-wise, adjusted operating income for Powertrain Systems and Delphi Technologies Aftermarket came in at $92 million (down 28.1% y/y) and $16 million (down 15.8% y/y), respectively.
