Fourth quarter sales rose to US$744m from US$731m in 2018. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to new product launches and product updates, partially offset by lower vehicle production volumes, vehicle launch delays at Ford, the impact of the strike at GM, customer pricing and the impact of unfavourable currency.

On a regional basis, in the fourth quarter of 2019, Europe accounted for 32% of sales, China Domestic, 20%, China Export ,7%, the Americas, 25% and Other Asia-Pacific, 16%.
