Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
DETROIT - American Axle & Manufacturing (NYSE:AXL) Holdings, Inc. (AAM) has announced revised financial targets for the full year 2025 today, adjusting its expectations for sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted free cash flow. This announcement comes in the wake of the company’s decision to sell its commercial vehicle axle business in India, expected to be completed by July 1, 2025.
The automotive supplier now targets sales within the range of $5.65 to $5.95 billion, down from the previous projection of $5.8 to $6.05 billion. Adjusted EBITDA estimates have also been modified, with the new range being $665 to $745 million, compared to the prior forecast of $700 to $760 million. Adjusted free cash flow targets have been adjusted to a range of $165 to $215 million, a decrease from the earlier $200 to $230 million estimation.
These updated financial goals are based on several assumptions, including North American light vehicle production of approximately 14.0 to 15.1 million units and the successful completion of the sale of the India-based axle business. The projections exclude any potential costs and expenses related to the announced combination with Dowlais, as they reflect guidance for AAM on a stand-alone basis only.
The company has also provided supplementary data to reconcile these targets with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), estimating a net loss in the range of $(65) to $(10) million and interest expenses between $170 and $180 million. Income tax expenses are projected to be between $35 and $50 million, with depreciation and amortization expenses at approximately $455 million. Restructuring-related costs and acquisition-related costs for the Dowlais deal are estimated at $25 million and $65 million, respectively.
AAM’s directors have confirmed that the updated profit forecast for 2025 has been properly compiled on the basis of stated assumptions and consistent with the company’s accounting policies. This financial update is based on AAM’s internal forecast for the period up to December 31, 2025, and is subject to the uncertainties inherent in any forward-looking projections.
