Sales by Visteon's electronic business jumped 76% to $780 million, mainly because of its acquisition of the global electronic operations of Johnson Controls Inc. The purchase doubled Visteon's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to $60 million from $29 million.
The company confirms its full-year guidance, which includes electronics-related sales of $3 billion and EBITDA between $245 million and $265 million.
