Aptiv PLC reported third quarter 2018 net income from continuing operations of US$ 222 million, 25.2% down from earnings of US$ 297 in the same period of 2017.

“Aptiv delivered 11% organic revenue growth, strong sales conversion and higher earnings per share in the third quarter,” said Kevin Clark, president and chief executive officer. “Our portfolio of leading technologies aligned to the safe, green and connected mega trends is driving sustained above market growth despite softening global vehicle production and foreign exchange volatility.”

Aptiv PLC manufactures vehicle components for global automakers. The company produces connector wires, safety restraint systems, pin headers, and underwater towed arrays for automobile and commercial vehicles.

The manufacturer emerged from the split of Tier 1 automotive supplier Delphi into two independent companies. Aptiv has 42 manufacturing plants in 22 cities and 12 states in Mexico, as well as a technical center.

The Mexico Technical Center (MTC), located in Ciudad Juarez, is the company’s largest research and development site worldwide.
