American Axle reports in-line Q1 earnings, cuts full-year outlook

DETROIT - On Friday, American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AXL) reported first quarter earnings that met analyst expectations, but lowered its full-year guidance amid ongoing industry challenges.

The company’s stock showed no movement following the earnings release, with shares trading flat in premarket trading following the release.

The auto parts supplier posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.09 in Q1, in line with Wall Street estimates. Revenue came in at $1.41 billion, slightly above the consensus forecast of $1.39 billion but down 12.2% from $1.61 billion in the same quarter last year.

"AAM delivered positive year-over-year operating cash flow performance driven by a combination of cost control and productivity," said AAM’s Chairman and CEO David C. Dauch.

However, the company reduced its full-year 2025 outlook, now expecting revenue between $5.65 billion and $5.95 billion, down from its prior range of $5.8 billion to $6.05 billion. The midpoint of the new guidance falls below analysts’ projections of $5.82 billion.

AAM also lowered its adjusted EBITDA forecast to $665 million - $745 million, compared to the previous $700 million - $760 million range. Additionally, the company cut its adjusted free cash flow guidance to $165 million - $215 million from $200 million - $230 million previously.

AAM cited an "uncertain geopolitical trade policy environment" as it maintains focus on managing factors under its control.
