AAM Q2 sales fall to $1.54 billion; net income rises to $39.3 million

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

AAM (NYSE: AXL) reported second-quarter 2025 sales of $1.54 billion, down from $1.63 billion a year earlier, while net income rose to $39.3 million from $18.2 million. The filing says the net income increase reflects a $46.3 million gain on its Business Combination Derivative, while Adjusted EBITDA fell to $202.2 million from $208.4 million, and the company raised the low end of several full-year 2025 targets.

Key points

  • Sales were $1.54 billion versus $1.63 billion a year earlier, which the company attributed to lower volume and mix.
  • Diluted EPS was $0.32 versus $0.15; Adjusted EPS was $0.21 versus $0.19. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.2% versus 12.8%.
  • Full-year 2025 targets: Adjusted EBITDA $695 million to $745 million (previously $665 million to $745 million); sales $5.75 billion to $5.95 billion (previously $5.65 billion to $5.95 billion).
  • CEO David C. Dauch said shareholders of both companies approved the combination with Dowlais.
