Post Close Trading Update 2023

Double-Digit Growth and Strong Financial Performance

TI Fluid Systems plc (the "Group"), a global industry leader in highly engineered automotive fluid storage, carrying, delivery and thermal management systems, issues a trading update for the year ended 31 December 2023 ("FY23"), ahead of publishing full year results on 12 March 2024.

The Group continued to perform strongly in the fourth quarter of 2023, with full year margin expansion driven by commercial performance combined with cost reduction actions. These were partially offset by inflation, volatility in customer demand and adverse currency movements. Therefore, we are pleased to report that FY23 results are expected to be slightly ahead of expectations: 

· Revenue of approximately ?3.5 billion, representing year-on-year double-digit growth on a constant currency basis

· Adjusted EBIT margin expansion to approximately 7.4%

· Strong adjusted free cash flow of approximately ?140 million, a conversion of circa 35% of adjusted EBITDA

During 2023, we have made good progress towards our mid-term targets for revenue of ?3.8-4.2 billion and a return to a double-digit adjusted EBIT margin. Longer-term, we are confident that the business is well-positioned to capitalise on the opportunities of electrification while leveraging the strengths of our conventional portfolio to drive sustainable, profitable long-term growth. We will provide our 2024 outlook when we report FY23 results.
