2019 Outlook^
For 2019, the company is reiterating its previously stated guidance of organic net sales growth between-1% and +1% and Adjusted Levered Free Cash Flow conversion between 50% and 55%. The company is revising its full-year outlook for Adjusted EBITDA from a range between $600 million and $620 million to a range between $580 million and $600 million. The revised 2019 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to a faster rebalancing of the company’s light vehicle activities between diesel and gasoline as well as lower commercial vehicle production. Both of these factors had an adverse impact on margins in the third quarter and are expected to continue into the fourth quarter and 2020.
