What the filing says
For FY 2026 (12 months ended Sept 30), Adient reported net sales of $15,168M (+4.4% YoY from $14,535M), but net loss attributable to shareholders of $17M vs. loss of $281M in FY 2025. Q3 2026 specifically showed net loss of $47M vs. profit of $18M in Q3 2025. Restructuring and impairment charges totaled $108M for FY 2026 (vs. $392M in FY 2025, which included a $333M goodwill impairment). Adjusted EBITDA was flat at $884M (5.8% margin) vs. $881M prior year. Debt declined modestly: net debt of $1,466M (leverage 1.66x adjusted EBITDA) vs. $1,439M prior year. Free cash flow was $222M vs. $204M.
Why this rating
Modest revenue growth (+4.4%), but core profitability deteriorated sharply in Q3; adjusted EBITDA margin stable but net loss indicates higher finance costs, taxes. $108M restructuring charges material (~1% of company value). No major M&A, debt covenant breach, or strategic pivot disclosed.
