At this time, I'd like to turn the floor over to Mr. James Entwistle, Senior Director of Investor Relations. Sir, please go ahead. Thank you, Jamie, and good afternoon, everyone. I'm James Entwistle, Senior Director of Investor Relations for Sensata, and I would like to welcome you to Sensata's second quarter 2025 earnings conference call. Joining me on today's call are Stephan von Schuckmann, Sensata's Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew Lynch, Sensata's Chief Financial Officer. In addition to the financial results press release we issued earlier today, we will be referencing a slide presentation during today's conference call. The PDF of this presentation can be downloaded from Sensata's Investor Relations website. This conference call is being recorded, and we will post a replay on our Investor Relations website shortly after the conclusion of today's call. As we begin, I would like to reference Sensata's safe harbor statement on slide 2. During this conference call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding future events or the financial performance of the company that involve certain risks and uncertainties. The company's actual results may differ materially from the projections described in such statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Forms 10-Q and 10-K, as well as other filings with the SEC. We encourage you to review our GAAP financial statements in addition to today's presentation. Much of the information that we will discuss during today's call will relate to non-GAAP financial measures. Our GAAP and non-GAAP financials, including reconciliations, are included in our earnings release, in the appendices of our presentation materials, and in our SEC filings. Stephan will begin the call today with comments on the overall business. Andrew will cover our detailed results for the second quarter of 2025 and our financial outlook for the third quarter of 2025. Stephan will then return for closing remarks. We will then take your questions. Now, I would like to turn the call over to Sensata's Chief Executive Officer, Stephan von Schuckmann. Thank you, James, and good afternoon, everyone. Before I begin discussing our results for the second quarter, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate Andrew Lynch, who was named our Chief Financial Officer last week. Andrew has been a valuable partner to me since I joined Sensata, and the Board and I have full confidence in him. Andrew's extensive financial and operational experience at Sensata has prepared him well for this role. I'm excited to have him as a partner on Sensata's transformation journey. Now, let's begin on slide 3. We delivered a strong quarter of 2025 with revenue, adjusted operating income, and adjusted earnings per share, all exceeding the high end of our guidance for the second consecutive quarter. This is an important proof point for the resilience of our business and our team's determination to execute in the face of challenges such as volatile end markets, geopolitical uncertainty, and the cybersecurity incident that we disclosed in April. When I first spoke to you in February, I introduced three key pillars, which would serve as my initial focal points for shareholder value creation: improving operational performance, optimizing capital allocation, and returning to growth. On our May call, I provided an update on some of the specific work we are doing on each of these pillars, and much of the focus of the update was operational excellence. Today, I'll go a bit deeper on capital allocation and growth drivers. Before we get to capital allocation and growth, I'll share a brief update on operational excellence. We rolled out a number of initiatives over the last six months, and I'm pleased with our recent accomplishment on this journey. Our cash conversion rate in the second quarter was 91%, a significant step up from our first quarter 2025 conversion rate of 74%. This improvement reflects our focus on unlocking cash to execute our capital allocation strategy. With operational excellence initiatives, we are optimizing our working capital and creating margin resilience in our business, enabling us to deliver on our earnings commitments. Now, I'd like to go deeper on our next pillar, optimizing our capital allocation. Simply put, we will deploy capital in a manner designed to maximize shareholder returns. In the first quarter, we seized the opportunity to repurchase $100 million of shares. In the second quarter, we repurchased another $20 million of shares and funded our dividend while also accumulating an additional $74 million of incremental cash. In turn, we reduced our net leverage ratio from 3.1x, trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA at the end of the first quarter, to 3.0x at the end of the second quarter. This further strengthened our already strong balance sheet. In the past, you've heard me talk a lot about benchmarking as we look to drive operational excellence. We are using external benchmarks for each of our key pillars. As we look at comparable companies across the market, our differentiated margins stand out, and our cash conversion is improving. However, our capital structure and net leverage is a bit of an outlier. For the balance of this year and into 2026, you can expect us to continue to prioritize deleveraging. Now, I'm excited to share our progress on our growth pillar. Just like capital allocation, growth is enabled by operational excellence. Over my decades of experience in industry, I have learned that the right to win is earned by consistently serving customers on time, at the lowest possible cost, with high-quality products. Operational initiatives will ensure that we do exactly that. It is equally important that we are disciplined about the new business we pursue. We need to win with the right technologies, on the right platforms, with the right customers. Over the last several months, I have worked with the Sensata team to study our past business wins a bit deeper and to identify the characteristics of our most successful programs. We are using those learnings to be more selective about how and where we invest and what business opportunities we pursue. For us, that means the following: first, stick to our core product technologies: pressure, temperature, and electrical protection, and certain specialty sensing such as force, position, flow, and leak. Next, prioritize platform-driven applications where high switching costs favor incumbency and with an emphasis on regulated or mission-critical sockets. Finally, focus on the right end markets with exposure to key secular tailwinds and appropriate diversification. As we apply these criteria, our priorities become clear. In our Sensing Solutions segment, HAL Gear gas leak detection is a recent example of a business opportunity that checked all the boxes for us. We were able to leverage our core sensing capabilities to win a regulated sensor socket on air conditioning system platforms. We established a market leadership position in the U.S., which we are continuing to grow. In 2025, this business is on track to deliver approximately $70 million of revenue, and we continue to increase our market share with a goal of well over $100 million of revenue next year. We look forward to leveraging our incumbency with key OEMs to win globally with similar regulatory requirements on the horizon in both Europe and Asia. In our Performance Sensing segment, we've spoken a lot about the content opportunities on both ICE and EV platforms, as well as the rapidly evolving new energy vehicle, or NEV, market in China. It is clear that we need to win in China to maintain and grow our global market share. The China market is opportunity-rich with a rapid adoption of NEVs and growth of local OEMs. The high-voltage applications on NEVs offer incremental content opportunities for us compared to the traditional ICE business. Our China team is actively driving business development with local OEMs in China to support their growth ambitions, both in China and beyond. We have significantly increased our pace of new business wins in China, primarily on NEVs. Our customers are placing value on our product performance, proven field quality in the local market, cost competitiveness, and well-established production scale. More than 90% of these wins are with top local OEMs and leading NEV players. Due to shorter design cycles in the China market, we expect many of these business wins to materialize into revenue later this year and serve as the foundation for a return to more consistent market outgrowth in 2026. The content wins we are securing include NEV-specific electrical protection, as well as powertrain-agnostic content such as tire pressure monitoring systems, or TPMS. One of these recent TPMS wins featured new tire burst detection technology, and we are excited to share that we were the first to bring this technology to market for an active safety application. Tire burst detection enables the vehicle to activate its stability control features at the first sign of a tire rupture event, dramatically improving occupant safety. This is exactly the type of technological differentiation that gives us an edge in the market. Now that we've spoken about our key pillars, I would like to talk a little bit more about what we are seeing in our end markets today. Let's turn to slide 4. I will start with tariffs and trade policy. Through a combination of reimbursement agreements with our customers and modifications to our supply chain, we have now successfully mitigated all of our tariff costs in the second quarter, compared to approximately 95% when we spoke to you in May. Since our last update, we've also seen a reduction to our exposures in connection with the de-escalation of tariff rates between the United States and China. Additionally, we are pleased to report that we have not seen significant impacts from recent tariff escalations on commodities, nor from export controls on rare earth materials. More broadly, in our end markets, we're seeing a mix of volatility, resilience, and growth. I'll share a few highlights now, and then Andrew will provide more specifics as he walks you through our results and guidance. On the Performance Sensing side, we are pleased with automotive production holding up stronger than initially expected when trade tensions escalated. Global production has grown in the first half, as the market in China has been very strong. HVOR markets have been soft, particularly with on-road trucks, and we're starting to see off-road production slow down as well. As a result, we're managing our costs accordingly. In our Sensing Solutions segment, we're seeing more growth, which highlights the advantages of our end market diversification. Our industrials business grew over 9% in the second quarter as markets have stabilized, and our new leak detection product is delivering meaningful outgrowth. In aerospace, we saw over 5% revenue growth in the second quarter against a market that grew roughly 3%. Our market outlook for both industrials and aerospace in the second half is largely consistent with what we saw in the second quarter. In summary, I am happy with what we have achieved so far this year, and our Q2 results demonstrate the progress we are making on our transformation plan built upon the three pillars. As we progress through the balance of 2025 and into the new year, we will maintain our focus and rigor on these initiatives to drive shareholder value. With that, I will turn the call over to Andrew to provide greater detail on Q2 financial results and our guidance for the third quarter. Thank you, Stephan, and good afternoon, everyone. I want to begin today by extending my gratitude to Stephan and our Board of Directors for placing their confidence in me as Sensata 's Chief Financial Officer. I would also like to thank the Sensata Team and our Finance organization for their support over the last several months. Let me start on slide 6. We delivered another strong quarter in Q2 with results above our expectations across all of our key metrics. We reported revenue of approximately $943 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to revenue of $1,036 billion in the second quarter of 2024. While revenues were lower year-over-year, primarily due to the previously discussed divestitures, we saw $32 million of top-line growth sequentially from the first quarter of 2025 and exceeded the top end of our guidance range, reflecting our rapid recovery from the cybersecurity incident in April and general resilience in our end markets. Adjusted operating income was approximately $179 million, or a margin of 19.0%, and included approximately $12 million of zero margin pass-through revenues related to tariff recovery, which were 20 basis points dilutive to our adjusted operating margins. Adjusted operating margins improved 70 basis points sequentially from 18.3% in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating margins were consistent with the prior year quarter at 19.0% and increased 20 basis points year-over-year, excluding the dilutive impact of tariff pass-through. Adjusted earnings per share of $0.87 in the second quarter of 2025 represents an increase of $0.09 sequentially from the first quarter of 2025, as we delivered on our margin expansion plans and a decrease of $0.05 as compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to divestitures. We achieved robust free cash flow of $116 million in the second quarter, an increase of 17% year-over-year. This represents a conversion rate of 91% of adjusted net income, an increase of 17 percentage points compared to the first quarter of 2025, and 20 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2024. As Stephan mentioned, free cash flow is a key focus for us, and our improvements accelerate our ability to execute our capital allocation strategy. Now, let's turn to slide 7, and I will discuss capital deployment. In the second quarter, we executed share repurchases totaling $20 million and returned $18 million to shareholders through our regular quarterly dividend. We reduced our net leverage to 3.0x trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA compared to 3.1x at the end of March. With our capital allocation strategy, we delivered ROIC of 10.1%, up 30 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024. Looking ahead, you can expect us to continue to deploy capital in a manner designed to maximize shareholder returns with an emphasis on deleveraging in the near term. Turning to slide 8, I'll talk through the results for our segments, as well as provide more color on what we are seeing in our end markets. Let's start with the segment results. Performance Sensing revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was approximately $652 million, a decrease of approximately 10% year-over-year, primarily due to product divestitures and lower on-road truck production in North America and Europe. Performance Sensing adjusted operating income was approximately $147 million, or 22.5% of Performance Sensing revenue, representing year-over-year margin expansion of 20 basis points, inclusive of any dilutive impact from tariffs. Sensing Solutions revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was approximately $291 million, an increase of approximately 9% year-over-year. This marks our second straight quarter of year-over-year growth, driven by new content in our industrials business and market outgrowth in our aerospace business. Sensing Solutions adjusted operating income was approximately $88 million, or 30.2% of Sensing Solutions revenue, representing year-over-year margin expansion of 50 basis points, again, inclusive of any dilutive impact from tariffs. As a reminder, corporate and other costs have been recast to exclude certain costs previously referred to as megatrend spend, which are now presented within the two reporting segments. Corporate and other adjusted operating expenses were up $4 million versus the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by higher variable compensation due to better underlying performance. Now, I'll provide color on what we are seeing in our end markets. In our automotive business, production estimates have been volatile, and trade policy has evolved throughout the year. We have seen double-digit market growth in China in the first half, partially offset by market weakness in North America and Europe. Looking ahead to Q3, we see auto production moderating to roughly flat year-over-year and down about 1 million vehicle units sequentially from the second quarter on typical seasonality. In our heavy vehicle and off-road business, we have seen softness throughout the year, with on-road truck production down more than 20% in the first half across North America and Europe, and we expect this softness to persist in the second half of the year. Global off-road markets have seen modest growth in the first half, but we are now experiencing a significant slowdown in Q3. In our Sensing Solutions segment, we are seeing market strength. Both industrials and aerospace are seeing low single-digit market growth, and we are seeing high single-digit outgrowth in industrial as our gas leak detection business has ramped nicely. The market outlook I just discussed is reflected in our guidance, which I will take you through in a moment. Looking a bit further ahead to Q4, we are monitoring third-party forecasts and customer demand signals, and we expect more clarity as trade policy develops in the days and weeks ahead. Lastly, before we get to our guidance, I'd like to give just a brief update on tariffs. Let's turn to slide 9. When we guided the second quarter, we estimated that we would incur $20 million of tariff costs, which we expected to fully recover on a dollar basis based on reimbursement agreements we were able to secure in partnership with our customers. At this level of cost and pass-through revenue, we expected 40 basis points of adjusted operating margin dilution. Subsequent to our second quarter guide, we saw a de-escalation of tariff rates between the United States and China. Additionally, we continued to work on our supply chain to manage our exposures. The net result of this was that we incurred approximately $12 million of tariff costs in the quarter and recorded $12 million of pass-through revenues. Accordingly, tariff pass-throughs were approximately 20 basis points dilutive to our adjusted operating margins. With that, let's turn to slide 10, and I will walk through our expectations for the third quarter of 2025. We expect third-quarter revenue of $900 million- $930 million, adjusted operating income of $171 million- $179 million, adjusted operating margins of 19.0%- 19.2%, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.81- $0.87. At the midpoint of our guidance range, we see approximately 10 basis points of sequential margin expansion. However, we have assumed $15 million of tariff costs and associated pass-through revenues in our third-quarter guide, slightly higher than the $12 million we reported in the second quarter due to business mix. On a pre-tariff basis, we expect approximately 20 basis points of sequential adjusted operating margin expansion compared to the second quarter, in line with the margin expansion targets we talked about last quarter. As noted in our press release and earnings materials, our guidance and tariff assumptions are based on trade policies and tariff rates in effect as of July 28. Earlier this month, we announced our third-quarter dividend of $0.12 per share, payable on August 27 to shareholders of record as of August 13. Finally, before I turn the call back to Stephan, just a brief update on the cybersecurity incident that we disclosed in April. In connection with this incident, we experienced an approximately two-week disruption in our business. Thanks to our team's preparation and resiliency, our business has fully recovered. We are grateful to have this incident behind us without any significant disruption to our customers and without material financial impact. With that, I will now turn the call back to Stephan. Thank you, Andrew. I said this last quarter, but it warrants repeating. There is a significant transformation underway at Sensata. The foundation of this transformation is the key pillars that I've discussed on each of our earnings calls since I joined Sensata at the beginning of the year. I would like to conclude today's remarks by sharing a bit more why these are key to our vision and what you can continue to expect from us. Operational excellence is about stabilizing our core business to serve as an enabler to both our capital allocation and growth pillars. Our capital allocation strategy is to utilize our cash flow improvements to deploy capital in a manner designed to create shareholder value in the short- term and long- term, with an emphasis on deleveraging. Our return to growth will be supported by a focused product strategy and a clear evaluation criteria for growth opportunities. Success on our key pillars will be apparent in phases. Today, consistent execution with adjusted operating margins at or above 19% and free cash flow conversion at or above 80%. The next several quarters, net leverage continues to improve, and in the years ahead, a return to more consistent growth. I'm excited about what the future holds, and I look forward to continuing to update you on our progress moving forward. I will now turn the call back to James for Q&A. Thank you, Stephan and Andrew. We will now move to Q&A. Jamie, please introduce the first question. We will now begin the question- and- answer session. To ask a question, you may press star and then one on your touch-tone phones. If you are using a speakerphone, we do ask that you please pick up the handset prior to pressing the keys to ensure the best sound quality. To withdraw your questions, you may press star and two. Again, that is star and then one to join the question queue. Our first question today comes from Mark Delaney from Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead with your question. Yes, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my questions. Nice to see the free cash flow conversion pick up. Andrew, congratulations on the expanded role. Thank you. I wanted to start with EBIT margins. They expanded 20 bps year-over-year, excluding tariffs, even as organic revenue was down, I think, about 2%. You expect sequential margin improvement again in 3Q. Can you go into more detail on what's driving that margin improvement both in 2Q and 3Q? As you look longer- term, do you see a path to 20%+ EBIT margins? Mark, nice to hear. Thanks for the question. First of all, as mentioned in the call, we're undergoing quite a significant transformation at Sensata, and we've basically designed a number of initiatives that we're focusing on. We didn't start a huge amount of initiatives. It's basically six initiatives that we're focusing on. Just to mention a few, some of these initiatives are focused on pure operational excellence, something I've been speaking about frequently now in the calls in the past. That's improving plant performance. What we're doing is we're benchmarking our plants against each other where we have so-called similar products, for example, in TPMS, and we try to improve the plants that are weaker than the best benchmark within Sensata as one example. Another example is we're working on commercial excellence. We have a much stronger rigor around that. Like I said, there are other examples. We're working, for example, on improving our procurement and gaining effects from that. That's basically the effect that you see with other initiatives that you can see the margin improvement. For more details, let me pass on to Andrew. Thanks, Stephan. Mark, I think to summarize, it's primarily operational productivity that's driving the sequential margin expansion. We feel pretty good about our margin levels in the 19% range in the near term here. In terms of longer-term margin expansion opportunity, we've not established any targets at this time. We're really focused on short-term and margin resilience. We'll provide more clarity on what the longer-term outlook looks like as we get into the 2026 guide period. For now, we're focused on just margin resilience at the current level and sequential margin expansion quarter- on- quarter. That's helpful. My follow-up is also around EBIT margins and how mix may or may not affect that. You talked about diverging trends you're seeing in some of these end markets, industrial picking up. You said HVOR seeing signs of weakness. If you see those sorts of divergent trends by end markets, what might that mean, if anything, for EBIT margins? Is that a potential headwind or tailwind from mix that investors should potentially expect? Thanks. Yeah, good question, Mark. Mix definitely matters in our business. I think as we've highlighted before, our lowest margin business is our Automotive business. Our highest margin is our Aerospace business. HVOR and Industrial are kind of in between. As we look at what we're seeing in the current quarter and Q3, we've seen softness in the HVOR business and strength in Industrial. We've basically been able to offset any mix headwind from the HVOR softness with the outgrowth that we're driving in Industrial. We feel good that the business mix moving forward throughout the balance of the year will support the margin expansion that we've committed to. Thank you. Our next question comes from Joe Giordano from TD Cowen. Please go ahead with your question. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Stephan, as you've kind of gone through the portfolio now for a little bit longer, where do you think you stand on more product rationalization, SKU reduction that you need to do, scrubbing of backlog that you'd won kind of a long time ago that's been pushed out? Where do you think you stand on those things? Sorry, can you just repeat the question? I didn't get the last part. I'm just curious on where you stand as you evaluate the portfolio now that you've been here a little while. How much more SKU reduction is necessary or small divestments and things like scrubbing of the backlog to see how realistic delivery is on things that were won maybe a long time ago and when markets were different? I think you know a lot of the SKU reduction, or let's call it portfolio cleansing, has been done in the last year. There's been significant work done by the team and around the interim CEO, Martha. It's a continuous process. I'm looking at all types of SKUs, being in Automotive, being in HVOR, but also Industrial. Anything that we don't feel fits our portfolio at this point in time, we will cleanse from our overall SKUs. It's a continuous process. It's not something that is finished after we've gone through all of them. It's something that we follow through month for month, actually. Nothing significant at this point in time, but it's something I'll keep a focus on. On the backlog, like the recoverability of stuff that you won a while ago? Yeah, I think you're probably referring to some of the EV wins and program wins from years back. As the market shifts on that, we work with our customers to make sure that we're securing offsets, whether it's new opportunity to quote on new business or commercial recovery pricing discussions. We factor all that in as we negotiate with our customers moving forward. I think the driver there is pretty clear. It's that the time horizon of certain EV programs has moved to the right, and we're just focused on supporting the market as it is today. Thank you. The follow-up, I know it's still early, but just anything incremental, Stephan, you can give us on the China positioning. I know this is a big priority of yours to evolve how Sensata is positioned in China with the local OEMs. Maybe any updates there. Thank you. Yes, yes. Of course, I can. I think generally we need to say there's been quite an extreme shift from multinational to local OEMs. We see that the market is roughly at 70% local now. We see that government incentives have benefited 2024, and they basically continue to drive 2025. On the other hand, it's still encouraging, obviously, to see that multinational OEMs are continuing to make meaningful investments in China. What does that mean for Sensata? I would say it's a return to outgrowth. 90% of all the business of the year-to-date new business wins are now basically with the top five local OEMs and with leading so-called new energy vehicle players. Around that, if I break that down to more product-focused, there's a high concentration on high voltage and powertrain-agnostic content. We basically expect modest outgrowth in the back half based on third-party forecasted production mix. We're also pretty confident that it's going to be more consistent outgrowth in the beginning of 2026. Our next question comes from Wamsi Mohan from Bank of America. Please go ahead with your question. Hi, this is Ashley on the call for Wamsi. Just one question from me. We were wondering if you saw any pull forward of demand that impacted the 2Q time period, specifically in Autos. Just any color you could give us here? Thanks. Sure, happy to answer that. The short answer is no. I think a few dynamics at play here. In the second quarter, the early part of the quarter, the supply chain was coming up the curve on USMCA compliance, particularly in April. I think what we saw there was the OEMs consuming inventory earlier in the quarter and then replenishing it in the back half of the quarter. Effectively, Q2 was basically normal. Looking ahead to the third quarter, our order book's pretty solid and filled to where we would expect it to be relative to where we guided the quarter. Certainly, as we talk to our channel partners on the industrial business and other end markets, we're not seeing any pull ahead in our business. That may be more of a dynamic further down the supply chain, but where we sit, it's pretty much business as usual in terms of order book correlation to production. Great. Thank you. I'll pass it back. Our next question comes from Kosta Tasoulis from Wells Fargo. Please go ahead with your question. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. Andrew, congratulations. My first question is for you. You've been at Sensata, I think, for a majority of all your professional career. You've been there a while. You've probably seen a lot of the maybe archaic processes that have been in place as you've moved up the ranks. Now you're literally a Chief Decision-Maker. I just want to see what are some of the things you're looking to improve within Sensata? Thanks, Kosta, and thanks for the question. You know, my primary focus here is on enabling the transformation that Stephan has outlined here in his key pillars. I think we've got the right priorities to drive performance. There's a lot of work behind the scenes that goes into enabling these key pillars. As Stephan mentioned, there's a bunch of initiatives that underpin the operational excellence pillar. A lot of that comes down to making sure that we've got the right analytics and the right data to drive the right decision-making. That's part of the role of the finance org from a tactical standpoint. I'm certainly focused on enabling that. The other piece around capital allocation and growth is ensuring that we're applying the right rigor to our growth investments and ensuring that we're allocating capital in a way that creates shareholder returns. I think I'd just reiterate the pillars that Stephan has outlined, and I'm fully on board with enabling those. Great. I'll just dig in on free cash flow a bit. How should we think about these cost optimization efforts impacting your inventories, right? It sounds like part of the strategy is standardization, right? Are you bringing in like a single component across your products that will reduce cost and variability? You know, therefore, you got to keep a high stock of that component, and that kind of reduces the working capital tailwind? I think as we think about inventory, it's two levers. Certainly focusing on productivity and working unit cost reduction to drive inventory costs down and drive product costs down ultimately frees up more working capital. The other piece is just the amount of inventory that we carry. One of the things we talked about on past calls about a potential driver for that is better integration of our supply chain planning and demand planning and making sure that we're using our systems and the data that's available in the end market to optimize our lead times, optimize our demand signal, and optimize our production planning. All of that culminates in an inventory reduction opportunity. I would categorize that as sort of a go-forward lever to continue to drive higher levels of free cash flow conversion. If I may add, Andrew, what we do is something I mentioned initially is that we're benchmarking our inventory levels plant for plant. On the one hand, benchmarking plants amongst each other with similar products to try and figure out who has the best inventory level and what can other plants strive for. On the other hand, there's also looking outside of Sensata and looking at who's the best in class in inventory levels and measuring ourselves against them and redefining our measures and trying to drive inventory levels down. Thanks for taking my questions, guys. Thank you. Our next question comes from Joe Spak from UBS. Please go ahead with your question. Thanks so much, everyone. I actually want to pick up on the free cash flow theme and how you're thinking about it for the second half. I think I heard 80% sort of conversion. I'm not sure if that's a long-term target, mid-term target. Also, just on CapEx, and maybe this is obviously part of free cash flow, it looks like you're at 3% of sales in the first half. I think that's below historical, but maybe this is sort of the new normal for Sensata. Maybe just some help there on how you're thinking about that. Thanks for the question. Look, generally, we've set ourselves an ambition to strive for a cash conversion rate at 80% or more. Yeah, and I would just add to that. Good point on the lower level of CapEx in the second quarter. Some of the dynamic there was candidly just as we were looking at uncertainty in the end markets, and we saw production forecasts drop dramatically early in Q2 following the trade policy or tariff rate escalations, we throttled back some of our CapEx to respond to potentially lower revenue levels. Obviously, that didn't materialize. We saw that demand get restored. We'd expect an uptick in CapEx in the back half of the year. That said, I expect to be able to maintain pretty high levels of free cash flow conversion going forward, and 80% really is the floor. We have plenty of levers available to us to maintain reasonably solid cash flow conversion here moving forward. Inventory hasn't come down dramatically yet. There's still opportunity there. CapEx, while it may not be as low as it was in the second quarter, we still have the opportunity to underspend or spend at a level consistent with depreciation. I don't see that as a meaningful headwind. Okay. Even with depreciation as a good guide, I guess like versus, I think in the past, it's sort of been like a 4% level. Do you think going forward it can be a little bit below that? I think 4% is probably a good proxy for what sort of normalized run rate CapEx looks like. It can vary in any given quarter. We adjust it up or down based on kind of our view on market certainty, the investment opportunities ahead of us, whether those are sort of near-term automation opportunities to drive productivity or longer-term opportunities around growth investment. We try to keep that all in balance. Okay. On the deleveraging comment, I want to confirm how you're really thinking about this because you mentioned sort of net leverage going high, which to me implies the EBIT that's really coming from higher EBITDA. Are you also planning to say sort of gross debt down? Are there any leverage targets or how should we think about minimum cash just so we understand how investors can think about what's available for dividends, share repurchase, or debt repayment? Yeah. In the short- term, we'll look to reduce net leverage by accumulating cash on the balance sheet. That's just a function of where our debt maturities sit and what the current interest rate environment looks like. We don't have any debt maturities until 2029. That doesn't mean that we're going to wait until 2029 to address gross debt. There will be opportunities here in the coming quarters to potentially take some action there. In the immediate term, our focus is going to be on accumulating cash on the balance sheet. Of course, we still have a share repurchase program. We didn't execute Q2 at the same level we did in Q1, but we'll still maintain the flexibility to opportunistically repurchase shares as we see fit and keep that in balance with our net leverage targets. Certainly, we'd like to be below 3x levered in the near term and moving towards 2.5x relatively soon. Thanks so much. Our next question comes from Shreyas Patil from Wolfe Research. Please go ahead with your question. Hey, thanks so much for taking my question. Maybe just coming back to the China Auto piece, can you help level set how big this is for you today? Just to clarify, how much of an uplift could we see from the new launches that you mentioned, Stephan, that are starting later this year? Just to wrap, to put a finer point on it, how do you see the competitive landscape in China, specifically on the Auto business? In the past, the sense was that the mid- to- low end of the China market was very difficult to penetrate either given vertical integration or price competition among some of the local suppliers. I'm curious if that is still how you see it or have there been changes in the market. Look, it's pretty much the same. It's obviously a very competitive region, a very competitive country. As you know, amongst the OEMs, you know there's price wars going on, which obviously trickles as an effect down to the Tier 1 level. That leads us to obviously us being extremely focused on cost. That's something that we have reinitiated. Sensata has a strong history of being very cost-focused. That's something that we've been focusing even more on in China, following through on that in a very stringent way to stay competitive within the market. What we do is we take our products, we go back into the design, and we take out as much cost as we can in order to be competitive. On the other hand, some of the products I mentioned in my script just early on come with a certain level of technical differentiation. Take the tire burst detection technology, and that allows us to enter the market first and gain market share in comparison to others that do not have these functionalities yet. That's how we tackle the competitiveness in the market. Look, again, it's a very important market for us. As you can imagine, some of the Chinese OEMs that are hungry for market growth are stepping outside of the country and trying to gain market share in Europe, in Southeast Asia, be it in Thailand, in Malaysia, and so on. A high dynamic there, and that makes it interesting for us as a growth opportunity because if we win with the right players, like we have, I mentioned that we've won 90% of our year-to-date new business with the top five local OEMs, so really with leading so-called new energy vehicle players. Why do I say that? Because those are the players that will most probably also show growth outside of China, and that will give Sensata t he opportunity to benefit from that additional growth in, for example, Southeast Asia or in Europe or wherever else they're growing. Shreyas, just to give you clarity on the numbers, the China market is about a quarter of our automotive business, so about 12% or so of overall Sensata's revenue, obviously varying depending on business mix in any given quarter. The growth opportunities that we've highlighted would be sufficient to return us to the low to mid-single-digits outgrowth that we've targeted in our Auto business. That'll give you a little bit of context on the size. We're not talking about specific platforms or programs yet, but that's sort of the magnitude. Okay, that's helpful. Maybe pivoting to HVOR, you talked about meaningful weakness in the end market there. Curious how you're thinking about outgrowth in that business, both near-term and long-term. In the past, you've talked about three to six points of outgrowth as a target for Auto. I'm wondering if there's a similar target for HVOR. Let me explain it. Let me first start with the end markets, and let me give you our perspective, then I'll give you an outlook on how business is developing for Sensata. On the end markets, for on-road trucks, we see that obviously for the entire year of 2025, production is down. You need to look at that from a regional perspective. Taking North America, for on-road trucks, we projected really quite a strong downturn of roughly 24% year-over-year for this financial year of 2025. In Europe, on-road trucks were soft in the first half, which is roughly 6% down, but projected to be up in the second half of this year. Looking at agriculture and construction, it's expected to be down in a high single-digit percentage, and then the second half more positive than the first half. If you look at what are the actual slowdown drivers that are pushing that, for on-roads, we're saying in North America, there's been no buy-ahead on EPA 27 and general macro uncertainty. Operators are not renewing their fleets, and that's what we're seeing in our numbers. In Europe, we saw a soft quarter two on macro uncertainty, but we see that Q3 is pretty much normalizing on a year-over-year basis. What does that mean for Sensata's business? From a business perspective, we undergrew the market in the first half. The reason for that is as Western production was down while China production was up, our content is generally higher on Western OEMs. We expect, and we actually expect this to continue in our HVOR segment through the balance of the year, given the softness that we've seen in these Western production forecasts. Okay, great. Thank you. Our next question comes from Christopher Glynn from Oppenheimer. Please go ahead with your question. Yeah, thanks. Just give a little orienting question to start on the guide. Third quarter's down about $30 million sequentially at the midpoint. Is that, you know, vast majority impact at Performance Sensing? Yeah, that's right. We see auto production down about $1 million units sequentially, and we see some softness in the off-road space accelerating in the third quarter. All Performance Sensing. Okay, great. Just a couple of content and outgrowth dynamics that might be in play. Curious how you see Europe phasing with some of the relaxation of the mandates for EVs, if that's a CPV mix shift that progresses well in European auto through the back half of the year. You've talked a lot about the gains with local OEMs in China and starting to lap somewhat the share loss from multinationals. Have you indicated a timeframe when outgrowth crossover might be expected for China? Sure. Let me start with Europe. The relaxation of the mandates may ultimately lead to a slowdown in EV production in Europe. If it does, that would be a content tailwind for us. We haven't seen that yet. We've seen EV production continue to grow in the first half of the year in Europe, that was a dynamic that played out last year for us. If you see that mix shift again, that would be a potential outgrowth driver. Just a reminder there, we're about half the content per vehicle on an EV in Europe compared to an ICE. As we move to next gens, we get above parity there. On the current gens, that's where the content mix sits. On the China question. Let me ask something about EV. Yeah, go ahead. To add that, Christopher, on the content side, even if EV growth is not as strong as predicted due to softening regulations, as we know, for example, in Europe, the combustion engine ban might be softened, we'd probably have a shift towards hybrids and mainly plug-in hybrids in the market. Sensata has a broad portfolio mix, which we could serve as well as we can also obviously serve the EV market. It's not a down for us. It's actually as beneficial for us. Chris, I think your question on China is when the wins start to show up in outgrowth. There are really two dynamics here around outgrowth in China. The first is the rapid share shift that we saw last year where multinationals lost share to locals, which largely played out in the back half of last year. We will start to lap those comps into the third quarter, and that outgrowth headwind starts to go away here in the back half of 2025. We would expect to perform more or less in line with the market in China in the back half. As these new businesses launch, which have design cycles and lead times that are less than a year, that will start to show up in revenue late in 2025 and early into 2026 and set the foundation for outgrowth in China in 2026. Okay, great. Thank you for that. Our next question comes from Samik Chatterjee from JPMorgan. Please go ahead with your question. Hi. Thanks for taking my questions. Andrew, congrats on the new role as well. Maybe if I can sort of go back to the China renewed pace of wins that you're discussing here, and thanks for all the color till now. Maybe if you can sort of discuss how you're thinking about content per vehicle, where, as you mentioned, the content per vehicle there can sometimes be lower than the Western OEMs. In the new sort of win activity that you're seeing on that front, what are you finding out in relation to content per vehicle opportunity? Do you see a roadmap here as you continue to drive those wins? Is there more compression in the difference between the content on Western OEMs versus Chinese local OEMs on that front? I have a quick follow-up after that. Thank you. Andrew, you're answering the question. As I mentioned in one of the previous calls, we've shifted our focus in China. It's very important. Of course, you know we want to win with the winners in China, and we want to win with the right new energy vehicle producers in China. That's what we've been doing these last couple of months, and that has enabled us to win significant new business in the Chinese market. From a content point of view? For content in China, what really matters for us is you can look at it whether it's EV versus ICE, or you can look at it from a perspective of locals versus multinationals. Either way, it's about the same, which is that our content historically on EVs or on multinationals was much lower, or sorry, EVs or locals was much lower than with multinationals. That's what we're starting to change. These new wins will bring that content imbalance up to parity such that we don't have a headwind from the shift to local players as they continue to grow in the market. Okay, good. Helpful. In terms of, Stephan, your earlier comments about the portfolio, more curious about how you're thinking about where the incremental R&D dollars go, particularly if we do see a shift in the Automotive industry towards more hybrids relative to EVs that is beneficial for your content overall. How are you thinking about where the incremental R&D dollars are being dedicated in terms of platform strategy from your end? Thank you. Yeah, so we've obviously been very selective on where we put our dollars in R&D. One good example is, to your earlier question, that's basically placing the dollars into applications for Chinese new energy vehicles. That's the one side of it. That's what we're focusing on. On the other hand, we're putting more and more of our R&D dollars in the industrial area. We've got our gas leak detection products, A2L and A3. We're just ramping up. Some of them are still in a development phase, and we're already thinking about certain follow-up versions, so improvements on these products. We put a certain level of dollars of R&D in these products. On the Aerospace side, there's also significant growth opportunities there. Selectively, we've been putting more and more R&D dollars in that area as well so that we can tap that growth in the market that we see, at least for the future. Thank you. Thanks for taking my questions. Our next question comes from William Stein from Truist Securities. Please go ahead with your question. Great. Thanks for taking my question. First, Andrew, congrats on the promotion. Thank you. Yeah. Stephan, I think analysts and investors have sort of been waiting for a new mantra to understand the long-term growth potential either for cash flow per share or earnings per share. I think what you're communicating, it's sort of a clarifying question, is that your priorities are to maintain the 19% operating margin sort of bogey, stabilize it, but not necessarily have such a hard focus on expanding it. The second is to improve free cash flow conversion, and third, to decrease leverage. Do we have that right? Maybe the connection to this is I've heard a couple of analysts refer to outgrowth, but I think those are targets that were set by prior managers of this business. Do you have an outgrowth target or mantra that you want to guide us towards for the long- term? Thank you for the question. Let me reiterate and bring some more clarity into that. First of all, again, we're going through an entire transformation. By the way, this transformation is working for us. We've also implemented a lot more focus and rigor in our organization. Like I've said now, we're emphasizing benchmarking. We're working on consistency, and we're working on topics like standardization. We're consistently and proactively improving our operations. We're working on enhancing free cash flow, and then we're setting ourselves up, like this discussion around China, for growth in the future. Let me now be more specific. What does that mean in numbers? To be precise, what we said is, and Andrew actually mentioned it, it's the floor of 80% cash conversion rate or more. That is basically the bottom end of it. The floor of 19% margin or more. As you can see in Q3 and in Q4 of this year, we're looking at expanding margins by 20 basis points. We also said there is a margin expansion included in that, to be precise on your question. We also said it's important that Sensata gets back to an organic growth rate by winning business in the market, by winning business in Automotive with the right players, that we're back on track in HVOR, that we're making progress in Industrial and in the Aerospace area. Overall, we said, okay, let's target a growth rate, an organic growth rate of somewhere between 2%- 4%. That's sort of the frame that I've given the company that we're focusing on now. That is the path now for the next 12- 18 months. That's what we're focusing on, and we'll see where that takes us. Thank you. Our next question comes from Robert Jamieson from Vertical Research. Please go ahead with your question. Hey, thanks for taking my questions. Stephan, I appreciate all the collaboration that you've provided over the last few conference calls on your strategic initiatives. I want to ask about the global sales team. You know, having spent some time with them, have you seen anything in their process that needed to be changed to enable them to more effectively target the right types of customers in the right regions that you've spoken about? I'm just curious if anything's been implemented there that's driven the year-to-date wins you mentioned in China with the locals and then also in Japan year- to- date. Can you just repeat the first sentence of your question? I didn't hear it. It was a bit not clear for me. Oh, it's just about the global sales team and just having implemented, has anything been implemented to make them more effective in terms of targeting the key regions that you mentioned, like winning with the right customers, etc.? Yes, we have. Look, we've entirely changed the focus. Take the electrification market and the opportunities that are emerging within this market. They differ very much per region now. I think it's very important to be extremely selective when choosing who you want to grow with. This is really important because, as we know, unfortunately, not every is g rowing in the market, and with some of them actually, you know, you could face a potential risk, especially in China. We know that there's a consolidation going on in the market or an accelerated consolidation amongst OEMs. Yes, the team in China is very much focused and, if I may say in a more blunt way, not running after every business, but trying to choose very selectively the right customers that we believe are going to be future strong outgrowers in the Chinese market. That's been challenging. It's difficult to obviously choose these right customers, but we have a good level we've built up, and that's also changed a good level of intelligence around that. Again, being very selective. Obviously, let me expand a bit more on China. It's not just predicting or trying to predict the consolidation game in China, but it's also trying to understand which of these future customers are going to grow outside of China. As you probably know, there's a huge dynamic out there. A lot of the big customers are entering European countries, they're entering Southeast Asia, and they're hungry for growth. For us as a team, as a sales team, it's very important that we try and determine who are going to be the winners outside of China, so that we can grow with them when we win business with them. It's a different type of focus. In the mix of the applications, around hybrid applications, around combustion engine applications, I think we've basically broadened the scope a bit more. We said, "Look, there's also very good opportunities around the combustion engine applications that we still go for." We have the assets, we have the products, and we'll also try and win in that sector. Why do we do that? Why does the sales team go after that? Because that somewhat balances off the risk that you might have on the EV side, trying to predict who are going to be the winners. Yes, it's a total, it's a different focus. I feel we have a lot more clarity around that. That's very helpful. I appreciate that. Pivoting to the leak detection business, just curious if you could elaborate on the total addressable market there. What's that size? What's the margin profile versus the legacy industrial sensors business? I'm also curious, what's embedded in your guidance for this business for 3Q? Is it still high single-digit outgrowth versus the market, just given some of the things that we've heard about the rescue demand environment from some of the pure-play HVAC names today. Thank you. On the gas leak detection, the overall market size in North America is roughly $150 million. As I just mentioned in the call, we want a significant market share in this market. If you then convert that to Europe, where we're now going to attack that market with our so-called A3 product range, overall Europe is a similar size market as what we have in North America with roughly $150 million in market size. There are more markets beyond that that are actually emerging. This is the interesting thing. As soon as stronger or tighter regulations come out in South Korea, for example, or in Japan, we'll be ready with our product. We're busy scaling up A to L, and hopefully, we'll be ready by then with A3. Then we'll selectively tackle those markets. That's an additional opportunity where we can gain market share and gain additional revenues. Around the margin of the product, I'm going to pass over to Andrew. He'll explain that to you. Yeah. We've been coming up the curve on margin, but at the level that we're at today, sort of $70 million or so of annualized revenue, we're basically at or very close to normalized industrial margins. Scale has certainly helped there, but I think we're over the hump on where we need to be on margins and scale. In terms of outgrowth in the third quarter, you're right. The rescue dynamic has changed a bit. We're still expecting outgrowth in the third quarter. We were high single digits in Q2, probably low to mid-single digits in the third quarter, and then similar kind of for the balance of the year. Excellent. That's very helpful. Thank you. Our final question today comes from Luke Junk from Baird. Please go ahead with your question. Good afternoon. Thanks for the question. Maybe just one from you, Stephanie, and really tapping into what you were just talking about in leak detection, but maybe broadening that out in Sensing Solutions. It seems like tapping into non-auto markets could be a pretty interesting opportunity here. Just hoping to get your sense of urgency, prioritizing that, including the message pretty loud and clear around China and the Performance Sensing side of the portfolio. How should we think big picture about reinvigorating growth in Sensing Solutions, maybe even beyond the leak detection product, and potentially even offsetting some of the cyclicality in Performance Sensing? Thank you. Luke, thanks for the question. Yeah. It's certainly part of our strategy, looking at opportunities to diversify our end market exposure, and we're weighing that in as we evaluate the new business opportunities for investment. Beyond A to L and Industrial, certainly, we're looking thematically at things like broader demand for electrification and the electrical protection opportunities that come with that. We're looking at grid hardening and grid opportunities and the electrical protection opportunities that come with that. I think those are all sort of longer-term secular opportunities. The clear near-term winner is the A to L product and various derivatives of that for other end markets. While we'll continue to look at secular opportunities longer- term, the focus in the short- term is on taking the business that we've already won, expanding it, expanding margin share, and bringing it to other end markets. Understood. I'll leave it there. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, with that, we'll conclude today's question- and- answer session. I'd like to turn the floor back over to Andrew Lynch for any closing remarks. Thank you all for joining today's presentation. We look forward to seeing you at various investor events later this quarter. We currently expect to participate in the following events: Evercore ISI Semiconductor IT Hardware and Networking Conference in Chicago on August 26, Jefferies Industrial Conference in New York on September 3, and Goldman Sachs Technology Investors Conference in San Francisco on September 9. That concludes our second quarter earnings conference call. Operator, you may now end the call. Ladies and gentlemen, we do thank you for joining today's conference call and presentation. It is now concluded. You may now disconnect your lines.
