Forward Guidance
Sensata anticipates relatively flat end markets year-over-year due to the current IHS automotive outlook, weakness in Europe and North America heavy vehicle and off-road production, and continued destocking in industrials. Revenue is expected to be flat to down slightly in the first and second quarters of 2024 before rebounding in the second half of the year. Adjusted operating margins are expected to be flat in the first quarter and then increase sequentially by approximately 20 – 30 basis points per quarter.
Positive Outlook
- New and ramping product launches driving growth in the second half of the year.
- Adjusted operating margins expected to increase sequentially by approximately 20 – 30 basis points per quarter after Q1.
- Electrification revenue grew by nearly 50% to approximately $700 million in 2023.
- Over $1.3 billion in electrification opportunities won over the last three years.
- Capital allocation strategy to reduce net leverage and return cash to shareholders is showing strong early returns.
Challenges Ahead
- End markets are anticipated to be relatively flat year over year.
- Weakness in Europe and North America heavy vehicle and off road production.
