What Aptiv makes

Aptiv operates in two segments following a significant restructuring. The Intelligent Systems segment covers advanced driver-assistance systems, intelligent perception hardware, advanced compute platforms, and software and services, including the embedded operating system and middleware technologies inherited from Wind River Systems (acquired 2018). Products in this segment range from radar sensors and cameras used in ADAS programs to domain controllers and vehicle compute modules that sit at the center of software-defined vehicle architectures. The Engineered Components segment covers high-voltage and low-voltage connection systems, high-performance interconnects, cable management assemblies, and the engineered connectors and conduits that carry power and signal through vehicle platforms and other demanding environments. HellermannTyton, a specialty cable management brand acquired in 2023, operates within this segment.

A third segment, Electrical Distribution Systems, handled wire harnesses, terminals, and electrical centers; that business was spun off as a separate public company called Versigent (NYSE: VGNT) effective April 1 2026, distributing one Versigent share per three Aptiv shares held. Aptiv and Versigent now report separately. The two remaining segments serve both automotive OEMs and, in a smaller fraction, commercial vehicle, industrial, and aerospace customers.

The company says it produces over 90 million components per day across approximately 2 million unique part numbers, per its customer-specific quality documentation.

Financial performance

Aptiv reported total GAAP revenue of $20.4 billion for the fiscal year ending December 31 2025, a 3 percent increase from the prior year in US dollar terms. In euro terms, the Berylls by AlixPartners Top-100 study for 2026 places Aptiv's automotive-sector revenue at EUR 18.05 billion for FY2025, down 0.9 percent year over year against EUR 18.21 billion in FY2024, with the divergence between the dollar and euro figures reflecting currency effects. Aptiv ranks 17th in that study by automotive revenue.

GAAP operating income for FY2025 was $1.18 billion, a 5.8 percent operating margin, compared with $1.84 billion and 9.3 percent in FY2024. The year-over-year decline in GAAP profitability reflects a $648 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and costs associated with the Versigent separation, not a deterioration in underlying operations. Adjusted operating income, which excludes those items, was $2.46 billion, yielding an adjusted margin of 12.1 percent versus 12.0 percent in FY2024. Cash from operations was $2.19 billion; cash on hand at December 31 2025 was $1.9 billion. GAAP net income was $165 million.

The company employed more than 51,000 people across 76 manufacturing facilities and 11 major technical centers in 23 countries as of 2026, per its own published materials. That figure reflects the post-Versigent perimeter; prior headcount disclosures were substantially larger because they included the electrical distribution workforce now under Versigent.

Ownership and history

Aptiv traces its origin to Delphi, General Motors' global parts supply division, which GM spun off as an independent public company in 1999. Delphi went through bankruptcy proceedings in 2005 and emerged as a restructured company in 2009. It listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2011 and subsequently divested its powertrain business as a separate entity in 2017; at that point the remaining company was renamed Aptiv. The name change marked a deliberate repositioning away from traditional automotive components toward vehicle intelligence and connectivity systems.

Aptiv is incorporated as a public limited company and listed on the NYSE under the ticker APTV. Its principal executive and operational headquarters is at Spitalstrasse 5, 8200 Schaffhausen, Switzerland, to which it relocated from Dublin, Ireland in 2024 per its own IR materials. Berylls lists HQ country as United Kingdom in its published study, which conflicts with the company's own press-release datelines; the company's own address is used here. Earlier data sources still reference Dublin, reflecting a prior structure.

Certifications and quality

Aptiv publishes a Customer Specific Requirements document (2023 edition) intended for suppliers submitting PPAP documentation under ISO 9001 and IATF 16949, the automotive quality management standard. The document states that Aptiv ships more than 90 million components per day across approximately 2 million unique part numbers at less than one reject per billion. IATF 16949 multi-site certification is the sector norm for a manufacturer operating 76 plants; Aptiv has not published a consolidated, dated certificate in the pages scraped for this profile, so certification status is reported as a company claim in line with that norm.

Known customers

Aptiv does not name individual OEM customers in its public filings; the FY2024 10-K states that its ten largest customers accounted for 55 percent of total net sales and that none individually exceeded 10 percent of revenue in any period presented. Documented customer programs from the company's own materials are limited to two active disclosures: a next-generation ADAS smart camera that entered mass production in a global vehicle program for a leading Chinese automaker in September 2026, per the company's investor relations newsroom; and a Motional autonomous driving joint venture formed with Hyundai Motor Group in 2020, which Aptiv subsequently restructured during FY2025.
