2026 Financial Outlook

We have maintained our financial outlook for 2026 across all metrics. 

At the midpoint of our guidance range, we have assumed that global industry production will be approximately 2% lower than in 2025 on a Lear sales-weighted basis. The industry volume assumptions underlying our 2026 financial outlook are derived from several sources, including internal estimates, customer production schedules and the most recent S&P Global Mobility production estimates for our vehicle platforms. 

Our outlook excludes any future impact of potential changes to tariffs or Company or industry-wide production disruptions.
