Our improving financial results and our strong sales backlog demonstrate that our focused strategy is delivering value for our customers and for our shareholders. The investments that we have made in expanding our Electrical business, increasing our component capabilities and improving our low-cost manufacturing and engineering footprint in both business segments, as well as the acquisitions of Eagle Ottawa and Guilford, have positioned Lear to take advantage of industry growth and major industry trends."
