"Our stronger than expected first quarter performance reflects our portfolio of leading technologies aligned to the safe, green and connected mega trends, driving sustained above-market growth," said Kevin Clark, president and chief executive officer. "While our revised outlook for the year reflects softer global vehicle production and further headwinds from foreign exchange and commodities compared to our prior guidance, we continue to see the benefits of our flexible operating model and technology portfolio position us well for outperformance as these headwinds mitigate in the back half of the year and into 2020. Our mission to be our customers' partner of choice, uniquely providing the brain and nervous system of the vehicle, has created a sustainable business advantage for Aptiv, which in turn allows us to deliver long-term value to our shareholders through innovation, effective execution, profitable growth, strong cash flow generation and disciplined capital deployment."
