Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Adient is a global leader in the automotive seating supplier industry and maintains relationships with the largest global automotive original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs. Adient's proprietary technologies extend into virtually every area of automotive seating solutions, including complete seating systems, frames, mechanisms, foam, head restraints, armrests and trim covers. Adient is an independent seat supplier with global scale and the capability to design, develop, engineer, manufacture, and deliver complete seat systems and components in every major automotive producing region in the world.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Adient have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Adient for the interim periods presented. Certain figures for comparative periods were regrouped to conform to current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

Adient consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which it has a controlling interest. Investments in partially-owned affiliates are accounted for by the equity method when Adient does not have a controlling interest but is assessed to have significant influence on their operations.

Consolidated VIEs

Based upon the criteria set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation," Adient has determined that it was the primary beneficiary intwo variable interest entities ("VIEs") for the reporting periods ended March 31, 2026, and September 30, 2025, as Adient absorbs significant economics of the entities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities.

Thetwo VIEs manufacture seating products in North America for the automotive industry. Adient funds the entities' short-term liquidity needs through revolving credit facilities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities through its key customer supply relationships.

The carrying amounts and classification of assets (none of which are restricted) and liabilities included in Adient's consolidated statements of financial position for the consolidated VIEs are as follows:

Earnings Per Share

The following table shows the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

The effect of common stock equivalents which would have been anti-dilutive was excluded, and immaterial, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026. Potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been anti-dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of being in a loss position.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards to be Adopted During Fiscal 2026

Adient adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosuresin fiscal 2026 which requires additional annual disclosures about the reporting entity's reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The ASU also requires further disaggregation of income tax amounts paid by federal, state and foreign, as well as by material jurisdiction.

Standards Effective After Fiscal 2026

Adient has considered the new standards that are summarized below, each to be effective after fiscal 2026 which are not expected to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements:

2. Revenue Recognition

Adient generates revenue through the sale of automotive seating solutions, including complete seating systems and the components of complete seating systems. Adient provides production and service parts to its customers under awarded multi-year programs. The duration of a program is generally consistent with the life cycle of a vehicle, however, the program can be canceled at any time without cause by the customer. Programs awarded to Adient to supply parts to its customers do not contain a firm commitment by the customer for volume or price and do not reach the level of a performance obligation until Adient receives either a purchase order and/or a materials release from the customer for a specific number of parts at a specified price, at which point an enforceable contract exists. Sales revenue is generally recognized at the point in time when parts are shipped and control has transferred to the customer, at which point an enforceable right to payment exists. Contracts may provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the awarded program, and prices are adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that Adient expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products based on purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments (some of which are accounted for as variable consideration and subject to being constrained), net of the impact, if any, of consideration paid to the customer. Approximately 1% of net sales recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were related to product sales transacted in prior periods.

In pursuit of new program awards, Adient at times agrees to make upfront payments to customers. Each time such a payment is made, Adient evaluates its nature, the underlying economics, legal and compliance ramifications, and other relevant factors and circumstances. These payments are deemed to be consideration payable to customers and are generally recognized as a reduction to revenue once mutually agreed. Certain upfront payments, however, are capitalized as other current and noncurrent assets if they are determined to be incremental, attributable only to the specific new program being awarded, and recoverable. As products under the new program are sold to the customer, the capitalized amount is amortized and recognized as a reduction to revenue over the term of the program, typically between three andseven years. Adient assesses recoverability of the capitalized amounts on an on-going basis. Any amounts that are concluded to be no longer recoverable are immediately recognized as a reduction to revenue. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, Adient maintained capitalized upfront payments of $174 million and $174 million, respectively, within other noncurrent assets.

In a typical arrangement with the customer, purchase orders are issued for pre-production activities which consist of engineering, design and development, tooling and prototypes for the manufacture and delivery of component parts. Adient has concluded that these activities are not in the scope of ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."

Adient includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in revenue, while including costs of shipping and handling in cost of sales. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue and credited directly to obligations to the appropriate government agencies. Payment terms with customers are established based on customary industry and regional practices and do not contain significant financing components.

Contract assets primarily relate to the right to consideration for work completed, but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been satisfied and revenue has not been recognized. No material contract assets or liabilities exist at March 31, 2026 or at September 30, 2025. As described above, the issuance of a purchase order and/or a materials release by the customer represents the point at which an enforceable contract with the customer exists. Therefore, Adient has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less. Refer to Note 15, "Segment Information," of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for disaggregated revenue by geographical market.

3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, Adient acquired a foam manufacturing operation in the Americas for total purchase consideration of $11 million, of which $4 million was paid at closing in April 2026. The remaining consideration is expected to be paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Adient invested $4 million to acquire 49% interest in a joint venture in China. The investment is expected to expand Adient's commercial and geographical footprint in China. The new investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and presented as part of investments in partially-owned affiliates on Adient's consolidated statements of financial position.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Adient acquired all of the noncontrolling interest in Technotrim, Inc. ("Technotrim") for a value of $28 million and sold all of its partially-owned interests in Setex, Inc. and Setex SRL (together as "Setex") for a value of $27 million. The sale of Setex resulted in a one-time gain on sale of $4 million. The acquisition of all noncontrolling interest in Technotrim was recorded to equity. The transactions are expected to provide additional synergies through optimization of Adient's manufacturing footprint and additional control over its manufacturing presence in the Americas.

4. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

Due to the continued and sustained decline in the market value of its ordinary shares during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 resulting from the uncertainties surrounding future production volume within the automotive industry, a triggering event was identified requiring a quantitative impairment analysis as of March 31, 2025. As a result, a $333 million non-cash goodwill impairment was recorded in the EMEA reporting unit during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. No amounts of goodwill remain recorded in EMEA.

Refer to Note 15, "Segment Information," of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information on Adient's reportable segments.

Adient's other intangible assets, primarily from business acquisitions valued based on independent appraisals, consisted of:

Amortization of other intangible assets was $23 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

6. Product Warranties

Adient offers warranties to its customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. A typical warranty program requires that Adient replace defective products within a specified time period from the date of sale. Adient records an estimate for future warranty-related costs based on actual historical return rates and other known factors. Based on analysis of return rates and other factors, Adient's warranty provisions are adjusted as necessary. Adient monitors its warranty activity and adjusts its reserve estimates when it is probable that future warranty costs will be different than those estimates. Adient's product warranty liability is recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position in other current liabilities.

The changes in Adient's total product warranty liability are as follows:

7. Leases

Adient's lease portfolio consists of operating leases for real estate including production facilities, warehouses and administrative offices, equipment such as forklifts and computer servers and laptops, and fleet vehicles.

The components of lease costs included in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities included in the consolidated statements of financial position were as follows:

Maturities of operating lease liabilities and minimum payments for operating leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 2026 were as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:

8. Debt and Financing Arrangements

Long-term and short-term debt consisted of the following:

As of September 30, 2025, Adient US LLC ("Adient US"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Adient, together with certain of Adient's other subsidiaries, maintained an asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), which provided for a revolving line of credit up to $1,250 million, including a North American subfacility of up to $950 million and a European subfacility of up to $300 million, subject to borrowing base capacity and certain other restrictions, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Adient amended the ABL Credit Facility, reducing the maximum facility from $1,250 million to $1,000 million (consisting of a North American subfacility of up to $895 million and a European subfacility of up to $105 million). Under the amended agreement, Adient will pay a commitment fee of 0.20% -0.25% (previously 0.25% to 0.375%) on the unused portion of the commitments under the asset-based revolving credit facility based on average global availability. Adient incurred $6 million of costs associated with this amendment, which was recorded as deferred financing costs. The amended ABL Credit Facility is set to mature in October 2030 (previously November 2027), subject to certain springing maturity provisions. Letters of credit are limited to the lesser of (x) $150 million and (y) the aggregate unused amount of commitments under the amended ABL Credit Facility then in effect. Subject to certain conditions, the amended ABL Credit Facility may be expanded by up to $500 million in additional commitments. Loans under the amended ABL Credit Facility may be denominated, at the option of Adient, in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling or Swedish Krona. It also provides flexibility for future amendments to the amended ABL Credit Facility to incorporate certain sustainability-based pricing provisions. The amended ABL Credit Facility is secured on a first-priority lien on all accounts receivable, inventory and bank accounts (and funds on deposit therein) and a second-priority lien on all of the tangible and intangible assets of certain Adient subsidiaries. Interest is payable on the amended ABL Credit Facility at a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to Term SOFR, in the case of amounts outstanding in Dollars, EURIBOR, in the case of amounts outstanding in Euros, STIBOR, in the case of amounts outstanding in Swedish Krona and SONIA, in the case of amounts outstanding in Pounds Sterling, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 1.25% -1.75% (previously 1.50% to 2.00%). During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Adient drew down and fully repaid an aggregate of $150 million on the amended ABL Credit Facility. No amounts were outstanding as of March 31, 2026 under this facility, and total availability on that date was $957 million (net of $8 million of letters of credit).

In addition, Adient Global Holdings S.à r.l., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adient, maintains a senior secured term loan facility (the "Term Loan B Agreement"), that had an outstanding balance of $622 million and $626 million as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Term Loan B Agreement was amended to reduce the applicable margin from 2.75% to 2.25%. Adient incurred $1 million of costs associated with the modification, which was recorded as deferred financing costs. The maturity date was also extended from April 2028 to January 2031. The amended Term Loan B Agreement amortizes in equal quarterly installments at a rate of 1.00% per annum of the original principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity. The amended Term Loan B Agreement permits Adient to incur incremental term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $750 million and an unlimited amount subject to a pro forma first lien secured net leverage ratio of not greater than 1.75 to 1.00 and certain other conditions. Interest on the amended Term Loan B Agreement accrues at Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Adient further amended the Term Loan B Agreement to reduce the applicable margin from 2.25% to 2.00%. Adient incurred $1 million of costs associated with this amendment, which was recorded as deferred financing costs.

The amended ABL Credit Facility and amended Term Loan B Agreement contain covenants that are usual and customary for facilities and debt instruments of this type and that, among other things, restrict the ability of Adient and its restricted subsidiaries to: create certain liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions; create, assume, incur or guarantee certain indebtedness; pay dividends or make other distributions on, or repurchase or redeem, Adient’s capital stock or certain other debt; make other restricted payments; and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of Adient’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ assets, to another person. These covenants are subject to a number of other limitations and exceptions set forth in the agreements. The agreements also provide for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, cross-default clauses with other debt arrangements, failure to pay principal and interest, failure to comply with covenants, agreements or conditions, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving Adient and its significant subsidiaries.

Adient Global Holdings Ltd. ("AGH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adient, maintains (i) $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior secured notes due 2028, (ii) $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.250% senior unsecured notes due 2031 and (iii) $795 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2033. Interest on notes (i) and (ii) are paid on April 15 and October 15 each year. Interest on note (iii) is paid on February 15 and August 15 each year. These notes contain covenants that are usual and customary.

Net Financing Charges

Adient's net financing charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss) contained the following components:

Banking fees for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 include $2 million of one-time accelerated-deferred financing fee charges associated with early redemption of previously outstanding notes. Total interest paid on both short and long-term debt for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $95 million and $84 million, respectively.

Other Arrangements

Adient enters into supply chain financing programs in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions to either sell or discount accounts receivable without recourse to third-party institutions. Sales or discounts of accounts receivable are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable on the consolidated statements of financial position and the proceeds are included in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of March 31, 2026, $176 million was funded under these programs compared to $185 million as of September 30, 2025.

Adient also has a program with an external financial institution under which Adient's suppliers can sell their receivables from Adient to the financial institution at their sole discretion. Adient is not a party to the agreements between the participating suppliers and the financial institution. Adient's obligation under the program is to pay the original amounts of supplier invoices to the financial institution on the original invoice dates. No fees are paid and no assets are pledged by Adient. The payment terms for trade payables can range from 45 days to 120 days depending on types of services and goods being purchased. The payment terms for molds, dies and other tools that are acquired as part of pre-production activities are in general longer, and are normally dependent on the terms which Adient has agreed with its customers. As of March 31, 2026, Adient's liabilities related to this program were $107 million which is recorded within accounts payable ($16 million) and other current liabilities ($91 million) in Adient’s consolidated statements of financial position. As of September 30, 2025, Adient's liabilities related to this program were $105 million which is recorded within accounts payable ($16 million) and other current liabilities ($89 million) in Adient’s consolidated statements of financial position. Cash flows related to the program are all presented within operating activities in Adient's consolidated statements of cash flows.

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Adient selectively uses derivative instruments to reduce Adient's market risk associated with changes in foreign currency. Under Adient's policy, the use of derivatives is restricted to those intended for hedging purposes; the use of any derivative instrument for speculative purposes is strictly prohibited. A description of each type of derivative utilized to manage Adient's risk is included in the following paragraphs. In addition, refer to Note 10, "Fair Value Measurements," of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized by Adient for each derivative type.

Adient has global operations and participates in the foreign exchange markets to minimize its risk of loss from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Adient primarily uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign exchange rate exposures. Adient hedges 70% to 90% of the nominal amount of each of its known foreign exchange transactional exposures. Gains and losses on derivative contracts offset gains and losses on underlying foreign currency exposures. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. All contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

Adient also utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts and cross currency interest rate swap contracts to selectively hedge portions of its investments in foreign subsidiaries. Such contracts are designated as net investment hedges, with the objective of managing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Adient’s net investments. The currency effects of such contracts are reflected in the AOCI account within shareholders’ equity attributable to Adient, where gains and losses recorded on Adient’s net investment are offset.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Adient entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap agreement with an aggregate notional amount of $60 million in order to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with its net investment in Japanese subsidiaries. The agreement will expire during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and has been designated as a net investment hedge of Adient's Japanese yen denominated subsidiaries. The currency remeasurement impacts of the instruments are reflected in the AOCI account within shareholders' equity attributable to Adient where they offset gains and losses recorded on Adient's net investment. Under the terms of the agreement, Adient receives fixed-rate interest payments in U.S. dollar at a rate of 2.85% and pays 0.00% on the fixed-rate yen leg. The interest rate differentials are recorded within net financing charges on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Adient entered into cross-currency interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $325 million in order to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with its net investment in European subsidiaries. These agreements expire over athree-year period and have been designated as net investment hedges of Adient's

Euro denominated subsidiaries. Under the terms of the agreements, Adient receives fixed-rate interest payments in U.S. dollar at a weighted average rate of 1.85% and pays 0.00% on the fixed-rate Euro leg. The interest rate differentials are recorded within net financing charges on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Adient entered into a ¥559 million ($78 million) foreign currency exchange contract to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in China. The contract is set to mature in October 2026.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, Adient entered into a ¥570 million ($78 million) foreign currency exchange contract to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in China. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, ¥413 million ($58 million) of the notional amount have matured, the impact of which was not material. The remainder of the contract is set to mature in June 2026.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, Adient entered into a ¥685 million ($96 million) foreign exchange forward contract to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in China. The contract matured during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the impact of which was not material.

The following table presents the location and fair values of derivative instruments and other amounts used in hedging activities included in Adient's consolidated statements of financial position:

Adient enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Associations ("ISDA") master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the net settlement of amounts owed under the derivative contracts. The master netting agreements generally provide for net settlement of all outstanding contracts with a counterparty in the case of an event of default or a termination event. Adient has not elected to offset the fair value positions of the derivative contracts recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position. Collateral is generally not required of Adient or the counterparties under the master netting agreements. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.

The gross and net amounts of derivative instruments and other amounts used in hedging activities are as follows:

The following table presents the effective portion of pretax gains (losses) recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to cash flow hedges:

The following table presents the location and amount of the effective portion of pretax gains (losses) on cash flow hedges reclassified from AOCI into Adient's consolidated statements of income (loss):

During the next twelve months, $15 million of pretax gain on cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified from AOCI into Adient's consolidated statements of income (loss).

The following table presents the location and amount of pretax gains (losses) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments recognized in Adient's consolidated statements of income (loss):

The effective portion of pretax gains (losses) recorded in currency translation adjustment ("CTA") within other comprehensive income (loss) related to net investment hedges was $6 million and $(1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $6 million and $3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, no significant gains or losses were reclassified from CTA into income for Adient's outstanding net investment hedges.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no ineffectiveness was recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss) resulting from cash flow hedges.

10. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present Adient's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Valuation Methods

Foreign currency exchange derivatives: Adient selectively hedges anticipated transactions and net investments that are subject to foreign exchange rate risk primarily using foreign currency exchange hedge contracts. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized spot and forward prices. Changes in fair value on foreign exchange derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The changes in fair value of foreign currency exchange derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 are recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The fair value of long-term debt, which was $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively, was determined primarily using market quotes classified as Level 1 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

11. Equity and Noncontrolling Interests

(1) Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The following table presents changes in AOCI attributable to Adient:

(1) Foreign currency translation adjustments as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 include (losses) gains on designated net investment hedge instruments of $1 million and $0 million, respectively. During the next twelve months, no gains or losses are expected to be reclassified from AOCI into Adient's consolidated statements of income (loss).

Adient consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within their control the right to require Adient to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. These redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income. Redeemable noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value. The following table presents changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interests:

Repurchases of Equity Securities

In November 2022, Adient’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of Adient's ordinary shares up to an aggregate purchase price of $600 million with no expiration date. Under the share repurchase authorization, Adient’s ordinary shares may be purchased either through discretionary purchases on the open market, by block trades or privately negotiated transactions. The number of ordinary shares repurchased, if any, and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, trading volume and general market conditions, as well as on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. From fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2025, Adient repurchased and immediately retired a total of 17,297,377 ordinary shares. The aggregate amount of cash paid to repurchase the shares was $465 million, all of which had been spent through September 30, 2025. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Adient repurchased and immediately retired 1,232,932 of its ordinary shares at an average purchase price per share of $20.27, for an aggregate amount of cash paid of $25 million. No shares were repurchased during the second quarter of fiscal 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining aggregate amount of authorization remaining under the share repurchase authorization was $110 million.

12. Retirement Plans

Adient maintains non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering primarily non-U.S. employees and a limited number of U.S. employees. The following table contains the components of net periodic benefit cost:

The interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and net actuarial and settlement/curtailment (gain) loss components of net periodic benefit cost are included in other pension expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

13. Restructuring and Impairment Costs

Restructuring

To better align its resources with its overall strategies and reduce the cost structure of its global operations to address the softness in certain underlying markets, Adient commits to restructuring plans as necessary. Adient, in general, records costs associated with separation programs when management has approved the plan for separation, the affected employees are identified, and it is unlikely that actions required to complete the separation plan will change significantly. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period. All other costs associated with restructuring activities are expensed as incurred.

During the first six months of fiscal 2026, Adient committed to restructuring actions ("2026 Plan") resulting in charges of $28 million and an additional $1 million related to prior year plans. The restructuring actions relate to cost reduction initiatives and consist primarily of workforce reductions in EMEA. The 2026 Plan is being implemented in response to manufacturing footprint and structural changes occurring in the global automotive industry and to ensure Adient maintains a competitive cost structure by reducing operating, administrative and engineering costs, and increasing efficiencies. Restructuring actions associated with the 2026 Plan will primarily occur in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, and are expected to be substantially complete by fiscal year 2027. Restructuring costs are included in restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The following tables summarize the changes in Adient's restructuring reserve.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026:

For the six months ended March 31, 2026:

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, Adient committed to restructuring actions ("2025 Plan") resulting in charges of $33 million, which was offset by $2 million of prior-year underspend. The restructuring actions relate to cost reduction initiatives and consist primarily of workforce reductions in EMEA. The 2025 Plan is being implemented in response to manufacturing footprint and structural changes occurring in the global automotive industry and to ensure Adient maintains a competitive cost structure by reducing operating, administrative and engineering costs, and increasing efficiencies. Restructuring actions associated with these specific plans have occurred and will primarily occur in fiscal years 2025 and 2026 and are expected to be substantially complete by fiscal year 2027. Restructuring costs are included in restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The following tables summarize the changes in Adient's restructuring reserve.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025:

For the six months ended March 31, 2025:

Adient's management closely monitors its overall cost structure and continually analyzes each of its businesses for opportunities to consolidate current operations, improve operating efficiencies and locate facilities in low-cost countries in close proximity to customers. This ongoing analysis includes a review of its manufacturing, engineering, purchasing and administrative functions, as well as the overall global footprint for all its businesses. Future adverse developments in the automotive industry could impact Adient's liquidity position, lead to impairment charges and/or require additional restructuring of its operations.

Impairment

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, Adient recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $10 million on its investment in Adient Aerospace. The impairment is included in restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Refer also to Note 5, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for information about the EMEA goodwill impairment recorded during fiscal 2025.

14. Income Taxes

In calculating the provision for income taxes, Adient uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the actual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based on changes in facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, Adient’s income tax expense was $32 million equating to an effective tax rate of 42% and $74 million equating to an effective tax rate of 63%, respectively. The three month income tax expense was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances, partially offset by tax benefits related to statute expirations. The six month income tax expense was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances and the establishment of uncertain tax positions as a result of initiating a foreign tax audit settlement, partially offset by tax benefits related to audit closures and statute expirations. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, Adient’s income tax expense was $48 million equating to an effective tax rate of (18)% and

$70 million equating to an effective tax rate of (32)%, respectively. The three month income tax expense was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances, tax expense related to adjustments to net operating loss deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions, and the impact of the impairment of the non-tax-deductible portion of the EMEA goodwill balance for which there is no corresponding income tax benefit. The six month income tax expense was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances, tax expense related to adjustments to net operating loss deferred tax assets and uncertain positions, and the impact of the impairment of the non-tax-deductible portion of the EMEA goodwill balance for which there is no corresponding income tax benefit, partially offset by tax benefits from the release of uncertain tax positions due to statute expirations.

Valuation Allowances

As a result of Adient's second quarter fiscal 2026 analysis of the realizability of its worldwide deferred tax assets, and after considering tax planning initiatives and other positive and negative evidence, Adient determined that no changes to valuation allowances were required.

Adient reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or combined group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. All of the factors that Adient considers in evaluating whether and when to establish or release all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance involve significant judgment. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to Adient's valuation allowances may be necessary.

Given current earnings and anticipated future earnings at certain subsidiaries, Adient believes that there is a reasonable possibility that sufficient positive evidence may become available that would allow the release of all, or a portion of, valuation allowances at certain subsidiaries within the next twelve months. A release of valuation allowances, if any, would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets which could generate a material income tax benefit for the period in which such release is recorded.

Uncertain Tax Positions

At March 31, 2026, Adient had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $335 million. If recognized, $105 million of Adient's unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate. Total net accrued interest at March 31, 2026 was approximately $22 million (net of tax benefit). The interest and penalties accrued for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 was $2 million and $16 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Adient recognized tax benefits of $3 million related to the release of uncertain tax positions due to statute expirations. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, Adient recognized $22 million of tax expense (including $12 million of interest and penalties) as a result of initiating a foreign tax audit settlement and tax benefits of $13 million related to the release of uncertain tax positions due to audit closures and statute expirations. At September 30, 2025, Adient had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $404 million. If recognized, $114 million of Adient's unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate. Total net accrued interest at September 30, 2025 was approximately $21 million (net of tax benefit). The interest and penalties accrued for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 was $1 million and $1 million, respectively. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, Adient recognized tax expense of $9 million to establish a reserve for an uncertain tax position. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, Adient recognized tax benefits of $7 million related to the release of uncertain tax positions due to statute expirations as well as tax expense of $9 million to establish a reserve for an uncertain tax position. Adient recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Other

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, Adient recognized tax expense of $19 million related to adjustments to net operating loss deferred tax assets. In addition, Adient recognized a net tax benefit of $13 million related to the impairment of tax-deductible goodwill in Europe during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Pillar Two initiative, which introduced a 15% global minimum tax applied on a country by country basis, was applicable for Adient beginning in fiscal 2025. Adient has estimated the annual effect of these rules and the impact on Adient’s effective tax rate is not material. Adient will continue to monitor and evaluate new legislation and guidance related to Pillar Two, including the OECD’s administrative guidance published on

January 5, 2026, which could change our current assessment.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. ASC 740 requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on Adient’s consolidated financial statements.

15. Segment Information

Adient manages its business on a geographic basis and operates in the following three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: 1) Americas, which is inclusive of North America and South America; 2) Europe, the Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA"); and 3) Asia Pacific/China ("Asia").

Adient evaluates the performance of its reportable segments using an adjusted EBITDA metric defined as income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests, excluding net financing charges, restructuring and impairment costs, restructuring-related costs, net mark-to-market adjustments on pension plans, transaction gains/losses, purchase accounting amortization, depreciation, stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Also, certain corporate-related costs are not allocated to the segments. The reportable segments are consistent with how management views the markets served by Adient and reflect the financial information that is reviewed by its chief operating decision maker.

The President and Chief Executive Officer is Adient’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM evaluates the performance of the reportable segments using Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is used for forecasting and to measure periodic performance and cash flow generation of the reportable segments and to make capital allocation decisions within the operations that ultimately provide shareholder returns.

The following tables summarize Adient's reportable segments' sales and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which include significant expenses that align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. The reportable segments’ Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to income (loss) before income taxes.

16. Nonconsolidated Partially-Owned Affiliates

Investments in the net assets of nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates are reported in the investments in partially-owned affiliates line in the consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025. Equity in the net income of nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates are reported in the equity income line in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Adient maintains total investments in partially-owned affiliates of $301 million and $276 million at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Operating information for nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates is as follows:

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Adient is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the operation of its businesses, including those pertaining to product recall, product liability, casualty environmental, safety and health, intellectual property, employment, trade compliance, commercial and contractual matters, and various other matters. Although the outcome of any such lawsuit, claim or proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty and some may be disposed of unfavorably to Adient, it is management's opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on Adient's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.

Adient accrues for potential environmental liabilities when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Reserves for environmental liabilities totaled $2 million and $3 million at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Adient reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by Adient do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate Adient's ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites, the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur, and changing environmental laws. Nevertheless, Adient does not currently believe that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on Adient's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

18. Related Party Transactions
