TORONTO, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Martinrea International Inc. (TSX : MRE), a diversified and global automotive supplier engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of highly engineered, value-added Lightweight Structures and Propulsion Systems, today announced the release of its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share.
FIRST-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
- Total sales of $1,168.2 million, production sales of $1,125.7 million.
- Diluted net earnings per share of $0.24 and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share(1) of $0.41.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $140.9 million, 12.1% of total sales.
- Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 5.3%, a notable improvement over 3.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
- Free Cash Flow(1) (excluding principal payments of IFRS 16 lease liabilities) was ($25.4) million, reflecting a typical seasonal build in non-cash working capital.
- Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio, excluding the impact of IFRS 16, ended the first quarter at 1.64x.
- New business awards of approximately $60 million in annualized sales at mature volumes.
- Quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share declared.
OVERVIEW
Pat D’Eramo, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our first quarter financial results improved over the fourth quarter on higher production sales, and better margins. As we previously discussed, our fourth quarter results were impacted by an OEM vehicle inventory correction, which mainly affected the Detroit 3 customer base in North America. While we continued to see some impact from these adjustments in the first quarter, volumes improved, and inventories are now at a more normal level based on market demand. Looking forward, U.S. tariffs on automotive imports are clouding the outlook for our business and industry. These tariffs have already had a disruptive effect, with OEMs announcing temporary shutdowns of assembly plants and volume reductions on certain programs. Some of this is also related to continued weak demand for EV platforms. We are focusing on the factors that are within our control, including operational improvements, cost reductions (including $50 million in targeted annual SG&A savings), free cash flow generation, and preserving our strong balance sheet. We will navigate these challenges as we have managed other challenges in the past and emerge as a stronger supplier once the tide turns in our industry, as it always has.”
He continued: “I am pleased to announce that we have been awarded new business representing approximately $60 million in annualized sales at mature volumes, consisting of $55 million in Lightweight Structures with General Motors and Mercedes, and $5 million in our Flexible Manufacturing Group with Volvo Truck. New business awards over the last four quarters total $260 million in annualized sales at mature volumes.”
Peter Cirulis, Chief Financial Officer, stated: “Overall, we are pleased with our first quarter financial performance, which was a good start to the year. We are executing well in a tough market. Sales for the first quarter, excluding tooling sales of $42.6 million, were $1,125.7 million. Adjusted Operating Income(1) was $61.9 million, and Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 5.3% was up 180 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2024, as we began recovering from the OEM vehicle inventory correction noted earlier. Free Cash Flow(1) (excluding principal payments of IFRS 16 lease liabilities) was ($25.4) million, reflecting a normal seasonal build in non-cash working capital. Free Cash Flow(1) is expected to improve as the year progresses, based on the typical seasonal pattern, excluding any tariff impacts.”
Rob Wildeboer, Executive Chairman, stated: “We are executing well operationally and financially, and allocating capital with a view to preserving a strong balance sheet and maximizing long-term returns for our stakeholders. Balancing capital allocation between share buybacks and debt reduction continues to be a priority. In light of the current trade uncertainty, we have elected to temporarily pause share buybacks under our normal course issuer bid until we have more clarity on the impact that tariffs are likely to have on our business. In the meantime, Free Cash Flow(1) will primarily go towards debt repayment. On behalf of the executive management team, we would like to thank our people for their hard work and flexibility in these dynamic times, as well as our shareholders and other stakeholders for their ongoing support.”

OVERALL RESULTS
Results of operations may include certain items which have been separately disclosed, where appropriate, in order to provide a clear assessment of the underlying Company results. In addition to IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) measures, management uses non-IFRS measures in the Company’s disclosures that it believes provide the most appropriate basis on which to evaluate the Company’s results.

*Non-IFRS Measures
The Company prepares its interim 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”, “Adjusted Net Earnings 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” to Non-IFRS “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Operating Income” and “Adjusted EBITDA”:

The Company’s consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2025 decreased by $155.7 million or 11.8% to $1,168.2 million as compared to $1,323.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The total decrease in sales was driven by year-over-year decreases in the North America and Europe operating segments, partially offset by a year-over-year increase in the Rest of the World.
Sales for the first quarter of 2025 in the Company’s North America operating segment decreased by $78.9 million or 8.2% to $885.1 million from $963.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to programs that ended production during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2024, specifically the Ford Edge, Chevrolet Malibu, and an aluminum engine block for Stellantis; and lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, General Motors’ large pick-up truck and SUV platform, the Ford Escape and Maverick, and Mercedes’ new electric vehicle platform (EVA2). These negative factors were partially offset by the launch and ramp up of new programs, including General Motors’ new electric vehicle platforms (BEV3/BET), and the Toyota Tacoma; higher year-over-year production volumes of certain light vehicle platforms including the Ford Mustang Mach E, and 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 first quarter of 2025 of $44.3 million; and an increase in tooling sales of $10.0 million which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. Overall first quarter industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes in North America decreased by approximately 5% year-over-year.
Sales for the first quarter of 2025 in the Company’s Europe operating segment decreased by $78.7 million or 23.6% to $255.3 million from $334.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including aluminum engine blocks for Ford and Mercedes, and the Mercedes’ new electric vehicle platform (EVA2); programs that ended production during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2024, specifically the BMW Mini; and a decrease in tooling sales of $32.2 million which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These negative factors were partially offset by the launch and ramp up of new programs during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2024, including Volkswagen’s new electric vehicle platform (PPE); higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including the Lucid Air; and the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the first quarter of 2025 of $4.3 million. Overall first quarter industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes in Europe decreased by approximately 7% year-over-year.
Sales for the first quarter of 2025 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment increased by $2.0 million or 6.3% to $33.7 million from $31.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was largely driven by the launch and ramp up of new programs, specifically the BMW 5-series in China; partially offset by lower year-over-year production volumes with Jaguar Land Rover, and a decrease in tooling sales of $1.1 million.
Overall tooling sales decreased by $23.8 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $42.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 from $66.4 million for the first quarter of 2024.

The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2025 of 13.0% was in-line with the first quarter of 2024. The positive impacts from a decrease in tooling sales, which typically earn low margin for the Company, and productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities and other improvements, were essentially offset by lower contribution from overall lower sales volume, 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 for the quarter on a year-over-year basis.
ADJUSTMENTS TO NET INCOME
Adjusted Net Income excludes certain items as set out in the following tables and described in the notes thereto. Management uses Adjusted Net Income as a measurement of operating performance of the Company and believes that, in conjunction with IFRS measures, it provides useful information about the financial performance and condition of the Company.

Net Income, before adjustments, for the first quarter of 2025 decreased by $26.2 million to $17.5 million or $0.24 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from Net Income of $43.7 million or $0.56 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2024. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table A under “Adjustments to Net Income”, Adjusted Net Income for the first quarter of 2025 decreased by $18.6 million to $29.5 million or $0.41 per share on a basic and diluted basis, from $48.1 million or $0.62 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2024.
Adjusted Net Income for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to the first quarter of 2024, was negatively impacted by the following:
- lower gross margin from lower year-over-year sales volume;
- a net foreign exchange loss of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to a gain of $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2024; and
- a higher effective tax rate (30.1% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 24.6% for the first quarter of 2024).
These factors were partially offset by the following:
- a year-over-year decrease in SG&A expense, as previously explained; and
- a $3.5 million year-over-year decrease in finance expense as a result of lower borrowing rates on the Company’s revolving bank debt.
DIVIDEND
A cash dividend of $0.05 per share has been declared by the Board of Directors payable to shareholders of record on June 30, 2025, on or about July 15, 2025.
