Visteon has posted second-quarter net income of US$65m, down from US$75m in the comparable period last year.

Second-quarter adjusted EBITDA was US$187m, increasing from US$147m in the same time frame in 2012.

Second-quarter sales were US$1.89bn – a rise of US$199m – while Visteon increased its 2013 full-year outlook for several key financial metrics based on improved business conditions compared with earlier planning expectations.

“We had a very strong quarter and continue to benefit from the momentum of our value-creating strategic plan,” said Visteon president and CEO, Tim Leuliette.

“I am pleased key performance metrics of sales, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA improved year-over-year in all regions, including Europe, where the overall economy remains weak.

“We are raising full-year guidance in view of our positive performance and generally favourable business conditions in key markets.
