“Our strong first-quarter results provided a solid start to 2018, as we achieved year-over-year improvements in sales, adjusted EBITDA, new business wins and free cash flow,” said Visteon President and CEO Sachin Lawande.
“Despite softness in global vehicle production volumes in the quarter, we recorded our 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA margin.
“We were very pleased with multiple SmartCore wins – including an award from Geely Auto for its next-generation new energy vehicle platform.
“With the market transitioning towards electronic control unit consolidation, Visteon is in a very good position to continue to capitalise on this trend as the leader in cockpit domain controller solutions.”
