“Adient remained on course despite pressure from numerous external factors (which the company estimated impacted 2022 revenue and adjusted EBITDA by $2.2bn and $600m, respectively) such as continued global supply chain disruptions that resulted in significantly lower vehicle production by customers, the Ukraine war, and a sharp rise in input costs,” the results statement said.
“Although various external headwinds improved sequentially versus Q3 2022, lower volume, temporary operating inefficiencies, and increased input costs weighed on Q4 2022 results by about $65m.
