Page two provides a summary of our results for the third quarter. The company performed very well, delivering strong results for the quarter and strengthening our foundation for long-term growth. Third quarter sales were $1.014 billion, and excluding the impact from supply chain-related pricing, our base sales grew 9% year-over-year, further demonstrating the strong demand for our digital cockpit products. Adjusted EBITDA was $128 million or 12.6% of sales, an increase of $33 million when compared to last year, driven by strong growth in our underlying business and a few favorable commercial items. As a result of our strong performance year to date, we are increasing the midpoint of our adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was a positive cash inflow of $98 million, bringing our year-to-date cash flow to $93 million. The company delivered another quarter of strong product sales growth despite some emerging headwinds in the industry. In North America, our sales remained solid, and the UAW strike had an immaterial impact to our sales as our Detroit customers continued to receive products throughout the quarter. In Europe, the strong order backlog at our customers has normalized due to weaker consumer demand, resulting in vehicle production at our customers coming in lower than we had initially anticipated. In China, vehicle production, excluding exports, was lower as well due to weaker consumer demand. With the market shifting more to electric vehicles, domestic OEMs in China are gaining market share over global carmakers, which is resulting in a negative customer mix for Visteon in that region. Despite these headwinds, Visteon's product sales grew in the third quarter due to the ramp-up of recently launched products. We launched another 33 new products in the third quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to over 100 new products, which will continue to drive our sales in the coming quarters. Our product and technology portfolio for digitalization and electrification is one of the best in the industry, which is a big driver of our new business win performance. In the third quarter, we won $1.8 billion of new business, bringing our year-to-date total to $5.8 billion. I'm also happy to report that we won our first customer for our automotive app store product that we highlighted at our Investor Day and during CES earlier this year. This new connected services enable us to offer end-to-end solutions for carmakers, which is unique amongst our peers. In the third quarter, we continued to deliver on the capital allocation commitment announced during our Investor Day, and we repurchased an additional $46 million of shares, bringing our total to $76 million through Q3. I will provide more details on our Q3 performance, as well as our near-term outlook on the subsequent pages before handing it over to Jerome to discuss the financials. Turning to page three, global vehicle production in the third quarter grew 4% year-over-year, although Visteon customers' vehicle production was flat for the quarter. The fast growth of electric vehicles, mostly by new OEMs that tend to be vertically integrated, combined with the slow start of global OEMs in this segment, is one of the main drivers of this negative customer mix. As we anticipated, semiconductor supply has gradually improved throughout the year, and in the third quarter, our open market purchases of chips were down significantly compared to last year. Excluding the unfavorable year-over-year impact from supply chain recoveries, Visteon's base product sales grew 9% year-over-year in the third quarter, despite flat vehicle production at our customers and resulting in a robust Growth Over Market of 9%. From a sequential perspective, our base product sales have continued to grow sequentially from Q1 of this year, mainly driven by the ramp-up of recently launched products. Through the first three quarters, our base sales have grown a solid 17% versus the same period last year. Digitalization is one of the most significant trends in our industry, and in Q3, our digital products, including digital clusters, SmartCore, and infotainment, performed very well. Digital Cluster sales grew more than 20% year-over-year, continuing the strong performance from prior quarters. digital clusters now represent 60% of our total cluster shipments, and this share will grow further in the coming quarters. There's ample runway for future growth for digital clusters, especially in the mass market segment, where this trend is just starting to make its impact. Displays are growing rapidly in automotive, both in size as well as the number of displays used in cockpits. Despite this positive industry backdrop, we are being impacted this year by the ramp down of a large program with BMW, which is masking the overall performance of this product line. We are quickly approaching the end of production of that program, therefore, it will be less of a headwind going forward. As new display programs come online, expect this product line to return to growth. SmartCore was our fastest-growing product in Q3, with sales growing 25% year-over-year. We benefited from new launches with Harley-Davidson and Volvo, and from the ramp-up of programs launched earlier with Geely and Mahindra. This key product line now represents a mid-teen share of our total sales, up from the mid-single digits just a few years ago. We are also seeing rapid growth of our infotainment systems product line, especially Android-based infotainment. Standalone infotainment systems featuring Android and offering connected services are an attractive proposition for many markets, especially for competitively priced vehicles. Lastly, our electrification business continued to ramp up in Q3 with the launch of additional electric vehicles by our customers. While sales of BMS for the first three quarters have run lower than anticipated, we are pleased to see sequential growth in BMS sales, which we expect will continue in the coming quarters. In summary, Visteon continues to benefit from the digitalization trend, and sales of our digital cockpit products were very robust in Q3. Turning to page four. We had another very successful quarter of product launches in the third quarter. The company launched its products in 33 vehicle models, which brings our year-to-date total to over 100 vehicle models launched with Visteon products across 18 different car manufacturers around the world. Our third quarter launches reflects the trend of digitalization impacting the industry across all vehicle segments. About two-thirds of our product launches were clusters, with the remainder being cockpit domain controllers and displays. Some of the key third quarter launches are highlighted on this page. With Mercedes, we launched multiple digital clusters as mid-cycle updates to existing models, and on the new EQE electric SUV for the China market. Our collaboration with ECARX in China continues to grow, and in Q3, we launched our SmartCore cockpit domain controller on the Volvo EX30 electric SUV. As highlighted last quarter, we continue to make inroads in the two-wheeler market. Commuter bikes make up the bulk of this market, and these vehicles are just beginning their digitalization evolution. In Q3, we launched a digital cluster with Honda on the Giorno+ model that is offered in Japan and other countries in Southeast Asia. We anticipate this segment to continue to evolve quickly towards larger displays and connected cockpits in the future. We had multiple launches with Ford in the quarter with our cluster and audio products, including on the Transit light commercial vans in Europe and China. In Europe, we launched our 8-inch hybrid cluster on two variants of the vehicle, and a dual display and digital cluster system on China market variants, highlighting the acceleration of digitalization trend in that market. We launched our first digital cluster for a heavy commercial vehicle with the launch of a 12-inch digital cluster with Renault Trucks in Europe. Additional launches are planned with this OEM in the coming quarters. India is one of the faster-growing automotive markets this year, and our business is gaining momentum with car makers in that region. In Q3, we launched our 7-inch digital cluster on two models with Tata Motors, including on the Nexon, which is the best-selling electric vehicle in the market. Turning to page five. Q3 was another quarter of strong new business wins, with $1.8 billion of business booked in the quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to $5.8 billion. About 40% of our wins year to date are for electric vehicles, reflecting the growing share of EVs in the industry, especially for the back half of the decade. On the right side of the page, we highlight a few key wins for the third quarter. First, we won a cockpit domain controller platform program with a German luxury OEM, our first CDC program with this customer. This product will launch on all ICE and EV vehicles from this car manufacturer, starting from 2026 onwards, and will integrate digital cluster and connected infotainment features and functions. This conquest win is Visteon's largest cockpit domain controller win to date. Since launching our first Android-based infotainment system in 2020, we have upgraded our offering with new, more powerful silicon... and additional features, including our AllGo App Store, OTA, Smart Voice Assistant, and camera-based features such as surround view. We believe we have the most advanced infotainment system in the industry today, especially for mass-market vehicles. In Q3, we won an Android-based infotainment system business with a global OEM for their vehicles in South America, which will go into production in 2025. Visteon's display capabilities are well-recognized in the industry with our leading optical bonding and glass cover lens technologies. The third win highlighted on this page is a 25-inch multi-display module and a separate 10.25-inch passenger display for a global OEM to launch on an all-electric midsize SUV in the U.S. This is our first display win with this OEM, and we're excited about the potential to grow with other vehicle models in the future. We have previously discussed our intent to bring advanced automotive-specific connected services to the market. I'm proud to announce that we have won our first business for our in-house developed AllGo App Store with a large OEM in India. Our white-labeled app store will be hosted and run by the car manufacturer to bring downloadable apps to their vehicles in the field. In addition, we also won our first customer for OTA services with a two-wheeler OEM in the quarter. We believe that the timing is right for offering connected services in automotive, and we are excited about its potential. Turning to page six. Car manufacturers are responding to consumers' increasing expectations of digital and connected experiences in the cockpit and are increasingly equipping new cars with built-in connectivity to the internet. Digitalization of the cockpit has led to the acceleration of the connected car trend, with vehicles across all price segments offering connected experiences in the cockpit. In addition to internet connectivity, consumers expect their cars to include downloadable apps like they get with their smartphones and tablets. Unlike the closed infotainment systems of the past, the transition to Android-based infotainment opens the possibility of bringing third-party apps into the vehicle cockpit. Visteon has been at the forefront of the digitalization trend and is also the leading supplier of Android-based infotainment systems. It was logical that we take the next step and offer connected services that leverages our in-vehicle expertise and closes the gap between mobile devices and in-car infotainment for apps and content. Our AllGo App Store is a white-labeled software as a service offering that enables car OEMs to provide a full-fledged app store experience with their in-vehicle infotainment systems. We're continuously growing the ecosystem of supported apps on the App Store and also offer value-added testing and lifecycle management services to the car OEMs. Our analytics dashboard and deployment portal can be used by OEMs to deploy and manage apps that are offered on the App Store. We also offer additional cloud services on the AllGo SaaS platform that are addressing critical needs of OEMs. We offer an over-the-air service that enables OEMs to run full software update campaigns across their entire vehicle fleet in the field. Our subscription management service enables consumers to opt in or out of services such as premium content for navigation maps. These services are offered standalone or bundled with the App Store. In addition, we are developing vehicle analytics and remote command services to provide seamless access to critical vehicle health and diagnostics information from consumer smartphones. Our near-term objective is to reduce friction for OEMs to adopt and deploy these services widely in their vehicles. Therefore, while the initial revenue contribution from the AllGo services will be minimal, the long-term opportunity is substantial. Our 2 connected services wins in Q3 demonstrate the revenue opportunities with our connected services that's differentiated from our traditional model. We believe there are significant cross-selling opportunities, both to serve our existing infotainment and SmartCore customers, and to use our services platform to establish relationships with new customers. We have a healthy pipeline of additional opportunities for these cloud services that we are currently engaged on and hope to report more progress in future quarters. Turning to page seven. This page shows our sales and revenue performance year to date and the outlook for remainder of the year. We entered the year with the industry being supply constrained due to the lower vehicle production in prior years. With semiconductor supply improving and growing macroeconomic concerns, we had anticipated vehicle production at our customers to moderate due to slowing demand during the second half of 2023, which is happening. The transition from ICE to EV is also occurring more slowly for global OEMs than they had anticipated. Despite these challenges, Visteon's product sales have increased sequentially each quarter this year. The company's strong product portfolio for the digital cockpit has enabled us to take advantage of the digitalization trend that is sweeping across the industry. The company has performed very well operationally, launching a high number of products on vehicle models that are driving our revenue growth. This growth accelerated in the third quarter, despite a challenging customer and vehicle mix environment. On the other hand, sales of our BMS product have come in below our expectations due to the challenges faced by global OEMs in ramping up electric vehicle production. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, our performance will be driven by similar factors that drove our third quarter results. Ramp-up of recently launched products will drive robust growth over market, even with a slower ramp in BMS sales. We anticipate semiconductor supply to continue to improve with fewer critical parts, which will also reduce our open market purchases and the corresponding revenue. China will remain a challenge for global OEMs as they will struggle to maintain their market share against domestic competitors, especially in electric vehicle segment. And lastly, the UAW strike at our customer's plants will create greater impact to our sales in Q4 than what we experienced in the third quarter. We anticipate that our fourth quarter product sales will grow sequentially as compared to the third quarter, despite the headwinds. Our full-year sales, including recoveries, are expected to come slightly below the midpoint of our previous guidance range, due primarily to lower recoveries in BMS sales. However, we anticipate our full-year Adjusted EBITDA will likely be slightly higher than the earlier midpoint due to our strong operational performance through the first three quarters, which we expect to continue into the fourth quarter. Turning to page 8. In summary, the company performed very well to achieve another quarter of strong sales growth and position us well to meet our full-year profitability targets. We delivered record base sales with strong growth relative to our customers' vehicle production, continuing the trend of outperformance for the past few years. The team continued to execute on our commercial and operational plans, which resulted in a strong Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.6%. We continue to build momentum by launching our products on 33 vehicle models and winning $1.8 billion in new business in the quarter. Finally, we are updating our full-year guidance for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the strong performance year to date and the current outlook for customer demand. Now, I will turn the presentation over to Jerome. Thank you, Sachin, and good morning, everyone. Visteon posted a solid set of financial results in Q3, demonstrating another quarter of commercial and operational discipline. We continue to build momentum with our sales growth, margin expansion, and cash flow generation. Q3 sales were slightly over $1 billion, and when excluding the impact of supply chain recoveries, grew 9% compared to prior year. This strong performance was supported by the ongoing demand we see for digital clusters, cockpit domain controllers, and BMS programs, combined with the benefit of recently launched programs. While the UAW strike has added significant uncertainty to the automotive market in North America since mid-September, the impact was immaterial on our third quarter performance. Semiconductor supply has continued to improve, and as a result, our reliance on open market purchases has significantly reduced year-over-year. However, we continue to see elevated prices from our traditional Tier 2 suppliers. In the third quarter, we shared approximately $70 million of these higher costs with our customers. We are optimistic that the semiconductor market will continue to improve in the coming quarters and expect that the need to pass through these costs will decline over time. Adjusted EBITDA was $128 million for the quarter, an improvement of $33 million versus prior year. Adjusted EBITDA benefited from higher base sales, improved operational efficiencies, lower engineering spending, as well as the timing of several favorable commercial items. This was partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses. Our adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.6%, but adjusting for some of the positive commercial items in the quarter, as well as for a more normalized engineering spend, our run rate was closer to 11%. Adjusted free cash flow was $98 million in the quarter, benefiting from a strong EBITDA and a reduction in working capital. We ended the third quarter with a net cash position of $144 million, while being able to execute $46 million of share repurchases in the quarter. Our total share repurchases have been $76 million since we launched the program earlier this year. Overall, we delivered a strong performance in the third quarter. More importantly, we continue to build momentum and make progress towards our medium-term targets. Turning to page 11. Sales were $1,014 million, relatively flat compared to prior year. When excluding customer recoveries, base sales were $945 million, an increase of 9% compared to prior year. This increase in base sales was driven primarily by growth over market, as Visteon customer production was fairly flat in the quarter. Our growth over market was largely driven by the ongoing demand of our digital cockpit products, recent product launches, and increased BMS demand. Customer recoveries, which are illustrated in the dotted boxes, declined year-over-year by 55% to approximately $70 million, driven mostly by a decrease in open market purchases and the corresponding recoveries from our customers. Open market purchases were minimal in the third quarter, and we expect this trend to continue in the fourth quarter. Recoveries related to higher costs from our traditional Tier 2 suppliers are expected to remain stable in the fourth quarter. As a reminder, recoveries, although bucketed as pricing, are passed through in nature, increasing sales, neutral for adjusted EBITDA, but diluting margin percentages. Adjusted EBITDA was $128 million for the quarter, versus $95 million compared to the prior year, an increase of 35% year-over-year. The primary improvement in adjusted EBITDA was due to higher base sales, improved operational efficiencies, and several favorable commercial items we negotiated in the quarter. Net engineering declined $4 million year-over-year due to the timing of specific projects, which was offset by adjusted SG&A, which increased $4 million year-over-year, primarily due to personnel costs related to investments in our team to support our future growth. Turning to page 12. We maintain one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry. Our balance sheet supports our growth and provides the flexibility needed to pursue our capital allocation priorities. We ended the quarter with total cash of $485 million and a net cash position of $144 million. In the third quarter, we repurchased shares for $46 million at an average price of $137 per share. This brings our year-to-date share repurchases to $76 million. We will remain opportunistic in future share repurchases, which will depend on several factors, including our free cash flow generation and industry dynamics. We generated $93 million of Adjusted Free Cash Flow through the first nine months. This is a $133 million improvement as compared to the first nine months of the prior year, primarily due to the higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower working capital build, partially offset by higher cash taxes and higher capital expenditures. As anticipated, the build in trade and other working capital from the first half of 2023 was partially reversed in the third quarter. Cash taxes were higher than prior year due to cash payments related to increasing profitability in some jurisdictions. Interest payments remained low and primarily relate to our term loan that matures in 2027. We have now repaid approximately $8 million year to date as a result of our quarterly amortization payments. These modest amortization payments will continue on a quarterly basis through the maturity of the facility. CapEx was $82 million in the first nine months. We expect CapEx to increase in the fourth quarter, reflecting seasonality and our ongoing investments in manufacturing and electrification. We continue to expect CapEx of around $130 million for the full year. Turning to page 13. In light of our strong performance and the various factors impacting the industry, we are updating our guidance. For sales, we are tightening our guidance range to $3.95 billion-$4.025 billion. The midpoint of just under $4 billion represents a strong 14% year-over-year growth in base sales for the full year. Our underlying performance is expected to remain strong in the fourth quarter, with continued growth over market driven by ongoing product launches and an increase in our BMS sales, although lower than originally anticipated. As Sachin mentioned earlier, there are several emerging headwinds that are expected to weigh on our fourth quarter sales, including the customer mix headwinds in China, weakening demand from our European customers, and the impact of the UAW strike. Our Detroit customers have only recently reduced their orders due to the UAW strike actions. In our guidance, we have assumed that the strike will continue at yesterday's levels through Thanksgiving, which has an estimated impact on our sales of approximately $6-$7 million per week. Our guidance ranges do not incorporate further escalation of the strike, either in duration or in the number of OEM plants being impacted. For reference, our weekly revenue from the Detroit Three is $20-$25 million per week. We're tightening our Adjusted EBITDA range upward to $415-$445 million. This is primarily from the momentum of our strong underlying operational performance. However, above average decrementals on lost sales as a result of the UAW strike are expected to be a headwind for the fourth quarter. For SG&A and net engineering, we continue to expect the second half of the year will be roughly flat, with the first half in dollar terms. We are maintaining our adjusted free cash flow range of $115 million-$165 million, which considers our assumption of the current adjusted EBITDA range, a modest use of working capital, and higher CapEx spending in the fourth quarter. Turning to page 14. Visteon remains a compelling long-term investment opportunity. We have positioned the company for top-line growth, margin expansion, and free cash flow generation. We will continue to return cash to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet, which provides significant flexibility. We have an exciting growth profile and have demonstrated a strong focus on operational and commercial discipline to deliver this growth. Thank you for your time today. I would like now to open the call for your questions. At this time, if you would like to ask an audio question, please press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. Again, that is star and the number one. We will pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Luke Junk with Baird. Your line is open. Good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. I guess I'll take the obvious topic to start with, just the UAW strike. I'm just curious, beyond the impacts to sales and operations that are downside risk, Do you see any silver linings to the strike in terms of, I guess, I'm thinking in a tight supply chain environment, potentially reallocating chips, maybe building safety stock, continuing to drive down the open market purchases, things like that? That's the first question. Thanks. Yeah. Hi, Luke. Good morning. Yes, indeed, and we are looking at all opportunities, not just the UAW strike, to improve our performance in the supply chain. Just to maybe take a step back where we are at with semiconductor supplies. Although supply has gradually improved all throughout the year, which has been a good thing, and that has lowered our dependence on spot buys, there are still a few chips that are critical, and we are watching them very carefully. In general, I would say the investments in capacity and efficiency of fabs that we have discussed previously have delivered in terms of higher supply, but demand from automotive has not gone down much, unlike some other sectors. So while we have maybe taken some benefit from the lack of demand on the other sectors, I would say that we still have a few chips that we need to work on, that we are trying to build a level of safety stock. And any reduction in demand, whether through the strike or any other you know factor, would help in terms of building up that safety buffer. So that's where we stand. Thank you for that. And then my second question, a bigger picture question, Sachin, and that just be in terms of the customer reaction to the first power electronics win that you announced last quarter. Just curious if you have a better understanding of Visteon's opportunity in power electronics and just general position in the market. I guess my impression is that that part of the market is still somewhat immature, but I would think to go out there now with an actual award in hand, that that would be a pretty meaningful factor. Thank you. Yeah, your description of the market as being immature, I think is very apt, and, and that is what, you know, I hear when I go out and talk to customers, about power electronics. Now, just to set some context, the industry is going through this shift from 400-volt architectures to 800 volts, and that's creating new requirements for power electronics, which are quite significant and have caused a lot of challenges for OEMs. Now, these challenges existed even with the 400-volt architectures in terms of power electronics, and specifically, we're talking about products like high voltage junction box, DC to DC converters, and onboard chargers. But when you go up to 800- volts, the requirements get that much more difficult, and especially in terms of efficiency, weight, and, volume, and very importantly, thermal management. Since we are addressing many of these concerns, there's a lot of interest at OEMs in our solutions. So the way I would characterize this is, yes, it has this win that we announced last quarter has put us on the map. It has made us a legitimate supplier of these in the systems in the industry. That has generated a lot of discussions and interest at OEMs, but I feel like we will still need a couple more quarters before we can fully understand the full potential for us in this particular space. We remain very optimistic. Thank you for that. I'll leave it there. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Dan Levy with Barclays. Your line is open. Hi. Good morning. Thank you. I'm wondering first, Jerome, if you could maybe just give us a bit of a bridge from three Q to four Q. I appreciate that part of the decline is going to relate to the non-repeat of some of the commercial items. You also had some strike, but I'm wondering if you could also just sensitize for us, given you know, the strike just ended last night for your largest customer within the V3, or it should be ending. Yeah, sure. Sure, Dan. Good morning. So maybe let's go back to Q3 for a moment. We're very pleased with how the quarter developed. Growth of a market was 9%. Our sales grew as well by 9% in a flat customer environment production for us. Our EBITDA run rate, when you normalize for some of the timing items that we had, was close to 11%. So it does two things. First, it confirms the good run rate that we had indicated we would have in Q3 at the end of Q2, and then it allows us to raise the midpoint of our EBITDA guidance while absorbing some level of strike. So talking about Q4 and looking at Q4 versus Q3, on the EBITDA side, we are still seeing some benefits from extra volumes, even though we've got some impact of strike baked into our midpoints. And we won't see obviously the one-time items that I've called out in my prepared remarks, which are impacting our Q3 results by about 100 basis points. And then what we'll have in Q4 is a little bit more engineering cost than we had in Q3. We had a fairly low level of cost in Q3 in engineering, largely because of, again, timing, and we'll see some ramp-up of this cost in Q4. So overall, still a very good quarter. We'll be closer to 11% overall in Q4 in terms of EBITDA. As far as the strike is concerned, we, we've been watching obviously the news, and the announcement from yesterday may change the dynamics of the strike, obviously. We still are exposed, obviously, to GM, not just Ford. And we'd love as well to see how the ramp-up of some of the Ford and GM Ford plants materializes. We are a little bit unclear as to whether or not this ramp-up will be straightforward and without any hiccup. So, this is something we're watching very closely, and we'll take it from there from now. Thank you. Of the, you know, you said weekly revenue, $20 million-$25 million of that is for the D3. What percentage of that is Ford? Presumably, the majority is Ford. It's a little bit more tilted towards Ford, but GM is still a fairly large impact for us. I think one other aspect to consider is the fact that we are already pretty much at the end of October, and we've had already more than a month of strike impacting our orders for the month of October. So we should take that into account as well as we think about the strike. There's already some level of impact that has been going through our numbers. Great, thank you. And then as a follow-up, wanted to ask about, obviously, the slowdown or the reduced, excitement about EVs that we're seeing broadly in the market. A, maybe you could just give us a sense of how we should think about the BMS piece of your backlog in light of the slowdown. But, B, I think we've generally seen OEMs reserve some of their, best or more advanced content for EV platforms. I know you're really ICE agnostic outside of BMS. If OEMs are slowing down the pace of some of these launches, how does that impact broader uptake of your, content, which has generally been reserved for, you know, the more high-profile launches? Yeah, let me take that. This is Sachin. So I would say that in general, the high content is not just specific to EVs. You are right, that there is more, higher content, especially digital content, in EVs across the board. What we have seen, and this has happened in Q3, and we expect that to continue into Q4, as our customers have had some challenges in the production and sales of EVs, that has dampened our digital cluster sales by a little bit. Although, as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, digital clusters have grown still very well, 20%, you know, year-over-year. So that's still pretty strong. Our cluster, you know, volume is, is pretty large, and we can absorb this impact of the slowdown coming from EVs. Now, on the BMS front, again, as I mentioned earlier, our BMS sales continue to grow quarter-over-quarter, and the ramp-up, we expect to continue into Q4 and in the subsequent quarters. In next year, we have additional BMS launches as well. And at the same time, in terms of our estimates, you know, we don't necessarily take our customer data at face value, so we have had some level of conservativeness in our estimates. So we expect to continue to grow quarter-over-quarter. In terms of where we are at, I expect that our exit rate this year in Q4 to be where we thought we would be at the beginning of the year. Yes, it has taken a little bit longer for us to hit stride. It has still grown pretty well from our estimation. And our earlier estimates of about 5% revenue contribution from BMS this year will be lower than that, but we expect to be able to catch up next year. But we'll need to wait until the end of the year to fully understand our customers' production plans and the BMS contribution next year. Great. Thank you. That's helpful. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Joe Spak with UBS. Your line is open. Thanks, Arun. I guess just to maybe follow up on some of that comment, that commentary. I know, Sachin, last quarter, you sort of really tried to, you know, calm some concerns about the longer-term sort of, you know, autonomous and EV trajectory, and saying that you didn't sort of bake in what your customers did. Do you think we're sort of a little bit closer now to what they're saying? And I guess what I wanna understand from you is, you know, clearly, when you bid on the business, you assumed certain volumes to be able to hit your return profiles. Like, if those aren't met, what type of recourse do you have with the customers? Right. And at this stage, Joe, what I would say is that we believe that the ramp-up that I talked about will continue, and our customers, as GM also in particular mentioned, they are not so much demand-limited themselves as they are supply-constrained. Mm-hmm. As they address some of the challenges they have in the module assembly and manufacturing of the cells, we expect that the demand to come up, and the ramp-up to really get into a level where we would be, I would say, pretty okay with it. To me, it really depends on some of the additional launches, not just what GM is doing, but some of the additional launches that we have next year. We always have in the business this challenge of matching capacity to demand, and we go ahead and invest in capacity. Now, we always also apply our own judgment in terms of belief that the capacity would actually come online. We'll have to see how next year develops. It's too early to say whether we have to have any other discussion related to unabsorbed capacity. I certainly don't, you know, hope that that would be the case, but we'll have to see how it, how it develops. Okay. And then if I can, Sachin, like, you know, one other sort of, I guess, big picture question, like, you know, last quarter, you sort of talked about the growth you're seeing in China and how, you know, you're maybe a little bit underexposed with some of the faster-growing OEMs and some of the efforts you're undertaking to sort of try to get better positioned there. You know, one thing that's become clear, though, in China is, right, like, the velocity of the models and sort of what in terms of coming to market and even sort of what's popular in the market is just much, much quicker. And it seems like it's not sort of this typical, what we're used to in the developed world or in the Western world of, you know, seven-year programs. Like, things are just coming up quicker and maybe burn bright, but then, you know, fall harder. And if that's true, like, I'm curious, like, how does a company like Visteon sort of manage going after that business? Because it seems like- That's, that's- It's a little bit harder to, you know, underwrite. That's a great question, Joe, and I think this is something that we all need to understand much better. But what you have described is effectively a result of a market like China that's large. It's also a very young market. The average age of the customer of our systems in China is under 35 years. In the more developed parts of the world, it's much more than that. And therefore, the systems that are being designed by our customers in China look very different for China than they look for the rest of the world. And just because they're more advanced in China, doesn't mean that they would have the same appeal outside of China, where the demographics is very different. So we have gone, as an industry, from designing products for the rest of the world outside of China, the more developed markets first, and then bringing them to China, to where we had to change our perspective and look at China as even a more advanced market for digitalization than the rest of the world. Now, how have we done in that context? So if you look at where we were at in 2018, when this trend really started to slowly, you know, increase and then picked up momentum, about 15% of our revenues in 2018 came from domestic China OEMs. Today, if you look at this year, we'll probably exit this year at about 40% of our revenues coming from that same China domestic OEMs, not the global OEMs. We've added customers like Geely and JMC and others that are, some of the OEMs that are on the vanguard of that trend. So we are doing exactly what we needed to do to make sure that we don't get trapped with older products that are not as attractive in that market. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the rest of the world will follow exactly their lead. So we have to have this approach, which really does challenge our product development capabilities, but our platform approach that we have been talking about now for several years, is really helping us, develop this somewhat different solutions, very differentiated, but at the end of the day, are still using fundamentally the same technologies, especially when it comes to software. So I think we have done well in terms of addressing this changing dynamic, and this has happened very quickly and, you know, that's where we are seeing the proof of in the numbers. China, this year, will continue to grow for us, despite the lower domestic production that we talked about earlier in the prepared remarks, and we expect to see continued growth going forward. Thanks for that, Sachin. Thanks, Joe. Your next question comes from the line of Mark Delaney with Goldman Sachs. Your line is open. Yes, good morning. Thanks very much for taking the question. I just wanted to better understand your comments around some of the macroeconomic trends, and in particular in Europe. You talked 90 days ago about seeing some slowing there, and, you know, it sounds like that's continued or maybe even picked up a bit. Can you help us better understand the breadth and magnitude of the slower trends you may be seeing in Europe and how that's progressed? Okay, so yeah. So, let's talk about, you know, how we are seeing the market develop. Now, when we talk about Europe in particular, you know, we entered this year with the market essentially being a supply-constrained market, and they had a, on account of the pent-up demand, a very strong order book, that supported high levels of production in Q1 and Q2 of this year. And we had anticipated that this change from a fundamentally a supply constraint to being more demand constraint would happen during this year, and we started to see that in Q3. So if you look at the third quarter, vehicle production at our customers is reflecting that slowdown, and we see that going forward into Q4 as well. So, the order intakes, the consumers, you know, orders into the OEMs... All through the year have been lower than what the industry had anticipated at the beginning of the year. So that's what is causing this slowdown, which we expect to have some effect, which is factored into our guidance for Q4, and we'll have to wait and see how, you know, next year develop from this perspective. But that's what we're seeing with respect to Europe. We also talked about China and the domestic market there being a little bit weaker. We saw that in Q3, and we expect that to also continue into Q4. And then there is the other dynamic that we have broadly discussed here, which is the slowdown of our EV related production and sales. Those are the factors that I would think as, as the macro factors that we need to consider, both for Q4 and then for next year as we start to think about next year. And I would add, Mark, for this year, putting things into context, and despite these headwinds, we are seeing our sales grow by about 14% to 15%, for the full year, despite these, these headwinds. So, still a very healthy growth of a market and definitely growth year-over-year in terms of our absolute sales. Thank you for that, that context. And following up on some of the power questions, related to the intermediate to longer term outlook and, and some of the OEMs are recalibrating their, their product launch, schedules and mix, tied to EVs. Just, just confirming, there's, there's no change to your 2026 targets that you outlined at the Investor Day for about $5.5 billion of revenue and, and about 13.5% adjusted EBITDA margin? Yeah, at this stage, we believe we are where we needed to be. I mean, if you think about where we are at, at the midpoint of our guidance, in terms of base sales for this year, we would have added approximately $450 million in new sales this year. That's pretty much what we need on a annual basis all the way out to 2026. So although, our sales has moderated a tad bit on account of the factors that we mentioned this year, we're still pretty much on track as to, you know, where we need it to be. I would add on the EBITDA side, again, the run rate that we have at the end of Q3 and what we're projecting for Q4 indicates, as well, that we are very much on track and will be able to scale that up as we go with additional volumes. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of John Babcock with Bank of America. Your line is open. Hey, good morning, and thanks for taking my questions. Now, I guess just first of which, you've obviously done well, you know, in terms of business wins this year and seem to be on pace, you know, to at least achieve, if not exceed, your target. You know, recognizing business wins can be lumpy and uncertain, just generally, do you expect you can keep a similarly strong pace in 2024 based on the discussions you've had throughout the past couple of months and quarters? Yeah. So that's actually a good question. And you know, I would say that we've done really well to evolve and grow our product portfolio over the last couple of years, both on the digitalization front, but also for electrification. So that puts us in a good position to address some of the biggest challenges that the OEMs are facing. And you know, as we have shown this year, this should translate into higher levels of new business wins, which we think should be sustainable, but we'll still have to see. Again, there are these dynamics of the lumpiness of some of the awards that can straddle the quarter. So it'll be you know, not appropriate to be too precise about you know, what we think we can achieve. But we have previously indicated this year we would exceed $7 billion. We believe we should be in a position to do that. But more importantly, we believe this is a sustainable performance in terms of having a higher level of new business wins. Now, one thing I do want to mention, because this could be also the next question that people may have, many of the wins this year are going to launch in either second half of 2025 or 2026. So the contribution to 2026, our target certainly, you know, will be there, and that's, of course, factored into our assumptions for the midterm target. But more importantly, it puts us in a great position to continue to grow in the long term. Okay, thanks for that. And then just as you know, a follow-on, I was just wondering, I mean, based on the business wins that you've had, you know, obviously, they generally tend to pertain to, you know, new models. And I was just wondering if you're getting a sense from OEMs as to how digital content is changing on some of those next product launches. You know, that would actually be helpful. Yeah, yeah. So I think this is the good trend that we have been talking about for some time. So what we are seeing is that the displays, in particular, are really getting much bigger, and also they are increasing in number. So passenger side displays are becoming more and more the norm in mid to upper end of the market. And when it's at the, you know, mass market, the mid-market segment, we are still seeing the growth of displays from much smaller 7, 8-inch displays to 10- and 12-inch displays. Though those displays getting larger is also pulling a lot of additional content, both, you know, embedded as well as connected content.... So the shift towards a connected services approach at Visteon, I think is also very timely, because we believe that that's going to generate a lot of opportunities for us, not only for incremental revenue and, you know, margin contribution directly from the connected services themselves, but also in terms of how they make our embedded in-vehicle products more competitive. We believe we will be one of the few suppliers with an end-to-end capability from the cloud all the way into the car, with connected services and the in-vehicle content that I do not believe will be matched by too many other competitors. Okay, great. And then just last question before I turn it over. You know, is it possible to get some sense as to the impact of the strike so far for Visteon, recognizing it's relatively limited? Three Q and four Q would be great, but anything you can provide there would be useful. Yes, it's Jerome. We've been impacted so far, obviously, with October orders coming down, and I would say that they represent about half of what we've assumed in our guidance. So the assumption in guidance is about $25 million-$30 million, and half of that is already baked into October. Okay. That's 4Q alone, right? That's four. Yes. All right. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Emmanuel Rosner with Deutsche Bank. Your line is open. Hi, thank you so much. I was hoping to follow up on some of the potential implications from the slowdown in EV ramp up by, you know, some of your customers, and then, you know, generally more broadly by multiple automakers. So, can you just try and quantify for us how much is assumed in terms of BMS revenues for this year in your current guidance? And then, what sort of, like, growth rates or, like, if you assume, I think you have a $600 million guidance for twenty- or outlook for 2026 in terms of revenues. You know, what piece of it could be at risk based on, you know, some of the latest? Yeah -volume progression? Hi, Emmanuel. I think it would be too premature to really talk about our midterm guidance and what could be at risk. I think these challenges that our customers are facing, specifically, you know, the one customer that talked about the slower ramp of electric vehicles. We believe that's on account of some production challenges that we are quite confident they would be able to overcome. So, yes, it has resulted in a slowdown this year, which is factored into our guidance, but we are not reading into this anything beyond that. And as I mentioned, we've always been conservative in terms of how we have assumed the, you know, BMS volumes in particular. So we'll have to, again, look at it more closely. We are not at a point today to be able to give you that insight. We'll have to get more data from our customers about next year and the outer years, but we believe there is still sufficient headroom in what we had assumed, where we should be in a better position than what might be implied by what you are hearing about the slowdown in EVs. Okay. So I guess just, you know, following up on this and just asking this a little bit differently. How much of your growth of the market over the next few years is assumed to be from BMS? And can you remind us the timing of your next launches in BMS? Yeah. So again, I think the growth of a market that we look at is a combination of many things, and we can't necessarily parse out exactly what is coming from each one. So I would like to just, again, put a context to this. We need a growth of a market of about a high single-digit to low double-digit, in terms of being able to achieve our midterm guidance. And we have assumed in that midterm guidance, by 2026, electrification revenues to be about $600 million. So that's the first framework. Now, we believe with where we stand today and the electrification plans for all of our customers, we believe we still have a path to get to that on account of us being conservative in our estimates for the volumes that we had anticipated. If you go back to our analyst day earlier in the year, I will remind everyone that we were being challenged as to why we were being conservative at the time with our estimates for electrification and BMS in particular. This is the reason why, and therefore, I believe we are today in a better shape than what might appear at face value when you hear about this, you know, messages coming from OEMs. When are the next launches? Early next year. Thank you. Your next question comes from the lines of Jim Picariello with BNP Paribas. Your line is open. Hi, everyone. Just on the favorable timing of recoveries in the third quarter, totaling $15 million, was this entirely attributable to a pull forward from the fourth quarter, or was there, you know, any unexpected retroactive, retroactive re-recovery achieved in the quarter? Yeah. So, so there are two items in this 150 basis points. You have about 100 basis points, which is related to commercial items, which are essentially commercial items that were settled in Q3 when costs were incurred in prior periods. So it's really neutral on a year-to-date basis, and as you do a walk from Q3 to Q4, will kind of reverse out. And then the 50 basis point remaining relates to the fact that our engineering spend was lower in Q3, largely because of project costs that had a different timing, and that's going to impact Q4. So that's one of the reasons why we have increased our engineering spend in Q4, because there's a move of expenses between Q3 and Q4. Okay. That's clear. And then, just to confirm, the strike-affected volume in your guidance applies in your 30% decremental margin. Is that right? Just given the weekly ranges for revenue and EBITDA that were provided. And then I apologize if I missed this, but based on the $20 million-$25 million per week strike impact embedded in the guide, what would Ford represent within that weekly revenue range? Thanks. Yeah. So maybe first on the decrementals. We think they'll be a little bit higher than our average decrementals. One of the reasons is that there may be some stop-and-go freight expenses as everybody ramps up when the strike ends. So that's one of the reasons why decrementals will be higher. And then, Ford is a little bit more heavy than GM, but GM is still a fairly large portion of our business here in the U.S. And then just within the weekly range, is or was that your answer, or was the heavier weighting to Ford on the decrementals just- Heavier, heavier to Ford, indeed. Yes, heavier to Ford, indeed. All right, thanks. Thank you. This concludes our earnings call for the third quarter 2023 results. Thank you, everyone, for participating in today's call and your ongoing interest in Visteon. Thank you. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.
