are like vehicle business, which comprises over 80% of our sales to perform broadly in line with our weighted light vehicle market, consistent with how we performed in the first half of 2026. However, we expect a sales decline in our battery business due to the lack of North American incentives and weaker European demand. We now expect this decline to represent roughly 170 basis point headwind to our year-over-year sales growth. Based on these assumptions, we expect our 2026 organic sales change to be down 3.5% to down 1.5% year-over-year, which is roughly in line with our market and consistent with our previous outlook. Now, let's switch to margin. We continue to expect our full-year adjusted operating margin to be in the range of 10.7 to 10.9 percent compared to our 2025 adjusted operating margin of 10.7 percent. On a year-over-year basis, we expect the exit of our charging business to drive a 10 basis point improvement in adjusted operating margin. Excluding this benefit, the low end of our margin outlook contemplates the business delivering a full-year decremental conversion in the low double digits. At the high end, our outlook assumes we largely offset the impact of the organic sales decline through further cost controls similar to what we delivered in the first half of 2026. Our strong first half performance is enabling the company to increase our planned industrial R&D spending while maintaining our full-year adjusted operating margins and guidance commitment. We continue to seek strong customer interest in our growing industrial portfolio and believe Board Warner's mechanical and electronic powertrain core competencies fit extremely well to serve the needs of a high-power industrial market. Given these factors, we are leaning forward and accelerating our R&E spending on these products by investing an incremental 10 to 15 million to support our future growth. This is a great testament of the BoardWarner team's ability to execute at a high level in the short term to support our long-term sustainable sales growth in a growing mark. Importantly, we are making this R&D investment while maintaining our full-year margin guidance. Based on this sales and margin outlook, we are now expecting full-year adjusted EPS in the range of $5.05 to $5.30 per diluted share, which is an increase compared to our initial guidance range of $5 to $5.20 per diluted share. This increase is primarily due to the share repurchases completed during the first half of The midpoint of this adjusted EPS guidance represents approximately a 5% increase versus our 2025 adjusted EPS and once again demonstrates our focus on consistently driving earnings expansion despite lower industry production. And finally, we continue to expect full year free cash flow to be in the range of $900 million to $1.1 billion, building off a strong 2025. With that, that's our 2026 outlook. Now, let's turn to slide 11 and discuss our recently increased share repurchase authorization. As Joe highlighted in his opening remarks, we repurchased approximately $100 million in BoardWarner stock during the second quarter. This takes our share repurchases over the last four quarters to approximately $650 million and leaves $350 million remaining under our prior share repurchase authorization. Our Board of Directors approved an increase of up to $1 billion through 2029. When combined with the $350 million remaining under our prior authorization, management has the ability to repurchase up to $1.35 billion of the company's outstanding shares or just over 10% of our current market cap. I believe this authorization increase demonstrates the confidence we have in the long-term cash-generating strength of our business and our focus on driving shareholder value through a balanced capital allocation approach that reward shareholders. So, let me summarize my financial remarks. Overall, we were very pleased with our second quarter results. Our light vehicle sales performance was modestly stronger than industry production. We achieved 100 basis point adjusted operating margin improvement and a 17% adjusted earnings per share increase on relatively flat reported sales. And our strong free cash flow performance supported a cash return of approximately $134 million to shareholders in the quarter. Our Q2 performance once again demonstrates the boardwarner team's ability to deliver strong financial results in a declining production environment. We believe this increased share repurchase authorization by our board of directors demonstrates our long-term confidence in the cash-generating ability of our business. As we look ahead to the balance of 2026, we intend to remain focused on expanding the earnings power of the company. At the midpoint of our guidance, we expect another year of adjusted operating margin expansion and adjusted earnings per share growth, despite our expectations that market volumes and battery sales will decline in 2026, and an incremental $10 million to $15 million investment in industrial R&D to accelerate our long-term sales growth. And finally, with another year of anticipated strong free cash flow of $1 billion at the midpoint of our guidance, we expect to continue to deploy capital in a balanced approach that rewards shareholders. By continuing to focus on near-term execution, growing the long-term earnings power of the company through organic and inorganic investments, and following a balanced deployment of our capitals, we believe BoardWarner will create significant shareholder value for many years to come. With that, I'd like to turn the call back over to Pat.

Thank you, Craig. Nick, we're ready to open it up for questions.

Thank you. At this time, I would like to remind everyone, if you would like to ask a question, press star 1 on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up the handset before asking your question. To withdraw your question, please press star 2. In the interest of time, please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up question. At this time, we'll pause momentarily to assemble our Q&A roster. The first question will come from Chris McNally with Evercore. Please go ahead.

Thanks, team. Joe, could you maybe provide a little more color on some of the quoting progress you discussed to the AI initiatives? I think in particular, maybe you could give like a really quick one-on-one on the Borg Endeavor TurboCell relationship. I think, you know, given most of us are keeping Claude kind of busy mapping out the different public entities such as Edge, which was also recently in the news. So, you know, And one of the questions I think that would be great to answer is, will Borg announce every smaller DC win within the relationship, or is it likely to batch them together as they become material? And then a follow-up.

Hi, Chris. So, as I mentioned in the remarks, we're really pleased with the progress we've made in the second quarter, and we remain on track, starting with the TG. So, as you know, we're launching that next year in 2027. And a couple of data points here on that business, you know, first of all, the customer interest remains really strong, including multiple hyperscalers. And as you know, Endeavor, that is their value in this relationship. So we're really pleased with that. We achieved the CARB level of missions, which is really a differentiator for us compared to what's out there. And then the UL compliance is in process. So, you know, from where I stand, we're on track to deliver. With regard to the Endeavor relationship, you know, it continues to grow and get stronger as time passes on. You know, we won't decide do we announce every individual event. You know, we try to share the important events and milestones with the investors. And then with the recent news on Endeavor and their partner, Coke, you know, we're also aware of it. You know, it's not unusual that these financial partners are constantly out raising money for the data center growth, which is out there. But we don't think it materially changes anything between us and our relationship with Endeavor. a partnership stronger than ever. We see a great fit between our companies and also how we see the future of the world. If anything, this adds credibility to Endeavor. It adds credibility to their edged data center business that they're a fantastic player and we're just happy to be partnered with them.

That's great. Agree. And I think the hyperscale wins obviously would be material by themselves. So then just the quick politics on the BFF side, you reiterated Startup Production 27. The quoting continues. Nick, you even shared in your prepared remarks, more to share later this year, which is great. And I imagine aligns with RFP timing. Is there any order of magnitude for what a typical contract or win size may be that you can give sort of rule of thumb? I know no contract is the same, but anything rule of thumb, because we're trying to start to think about what an average contract could be there.

Yeah, I wouldn't say there's any type of rule of thumb. Every data center project is bespoke. What we find is important is that our TG and turbo cell solution, our battery business, and our power conversion all play a very important role in these future data centers. So, you know, any award in the battery space with a hyperscaler obviously would be substantial. We continue to see a strong pipeline of quoting. We're progressing our product offering here. In fact, we're expanding the range of products that we're offering. So I'm really pleased with the progress we're making here, and we'll likely share more updates later this year.

Thank you.

Thank you. The next question will come from Colin Langan with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

Thanks for getting my questions. Just to follow up on the turbine generator, I think in the past you commented that you'd consider announcing adding more capacity in the second half of this year. Is that still the plan? I mean, any thoughts on the need to add more capacity given the customer interest? And if you do decide, how quickly can that new capacity come online?

Hi, Colin. So we do continue to see strong demand, as we have mentioned. So we're really encouraged by that. And as we've shared with you, we do anticipate we're going to have to make a decision in the second half of this year on capacity and also decide, you know, is that capacity going to serve this market or maybe a different market, which we're also active with our partner endeavor in. So no decisions made yet, but I am encouraged by the demand side of the equation. so more to come.

Just one question on the results today. I mean, if I look at, you know, your sales were up just 10 million, even up 40 million, that's quite a strong conversion. Even if I take batteries out, it's up 40 on 70 million in sales. What is driving this extremely high sort of or strong conversion on growth? And I think you mentioned, you know, strong cost controls sort of can possibly continue in the second half would be the upper end of guidance. What are those cost controls and why wouldn't they continue since you have a couple quarters of that under your belt?

Thanks, Colin, for the question. It was great execution on all fronts across our business, 11.3% margin in the quarter, up 100 basis points. When you break down that 100 basis point improvement year over year, 60 basis points came from strong performance from our foundational businesses. TTT and DMS. Great job by those teams. We had 20 basis points of enhancement through BES, the restructuring actions that they've taken in 2025 and 2026, as well as the exit of the charging business. Then the final 20 basis points came from strong cost controls.

What I was most excited about was we expanded margins in every business unit, and I was equally happy that corporate provided a nice tailwind it was just strong execution across the board got it all right thanks for taking my questions thank you the next question will come from luke yunk with barrett please go ahead good morning uh joe curious to uh double click on one of your comments in the script around inverter efficiency just hoping to speak a little more to what you see as the company's mode inverter efficiency especially potential feature applications that could stem From that, do you have an ambition to expand the portfolio further there? And in terms of scope, maybe if you could just remind us also of some of the markers for efficiency that you outlined at the 23 investor day, I think you'd outlined a path to kind of industry-leading levels for automotive.

Yeah, so thanks for that question, Luke. So when you think about efficiency, you know, why is that important, especially in the industrial side? You know, power is the constraint. So any improvement in efficiency is important. We continue to see efficiency gains as we develop next-gen inverters. Sometimes that comes from the silicon and silicon carbide technology. Often it comes from our proprietary power module, which we produce and develop ourselves. And a lot of that just has to do with how you cool the device as you're driving a lot of power through it. So, you know, efficiency numbers from generation to generation, they tend to vary, but, you know, similar to the fuel economy improvements, you tend to see, you know, a few basis points or even a few hundred basis points at times with major steps forward. So, yeah.

And then just in terms of the investment scope, you know, I think if I think microgrid inverter, I mean, there certainly could be other places in the gray space or even getting more into the transformation of power. Just how should we think about the scope of opportunities that you might be looking at in an inverter type things?

So our leading product of the market is likely going to be a microgrid type of inverter. So tying together PowerGen with all the other power sources and possibly even the grid, which, of course, is outside the building. So that's what we're leading with. But we see other possible opportunities here. So on the grid tie, we've started to expand our range. We were leading with 800 volts, and it's likely that will be the first award. But we've expanded the range from 400 volts to 1,500 volts. And then secondly, our team's evaluating other opportunities in the gray space and inside the building. As you know, with the next generation NVIDIA chip sets, there's a high demand for power at the rack level. And this plays very well into the work we do on the automotive side.

And then for my follow-up joke, could you just maybe give us some additional color on the new products on your website that you briefly touched on in the script? things like UPS battery backup units and similar? Is this sort of what the incremental R&D that you're putting in the back half of the year is pointing to? Thank you.

So those incremental products are some of the examples when we talk about expanding the portfolio, whether it's energy storage, like you mentioned, on battery backup, or some of the new power conversion products, which I just mentioned. And those are the areas where the 10 to 15 million incremental R&D are to support. So we're really excited about that. You know, a year ago, we weren't even talking about these products. And if you can imagine the progress our teams have made, especially in the first and second quarter, I'm just extremely pleased with that. So excited to see what comes with this additional investment. Well, stay tuned. Thank you.

The next question will come from Joseph's back with UBS. Please go ahead.

Thanks. Good morning, everyone. So, you know, you came in about almost 40 million higher this quarter. You're raising R&D by 10 to 15. So the other, you know, in OI is basically flat for the full year. So the other 25 to 30, is that just some higher cost? Maybe you could just talk about that. And then just with this higher level of RID, should we think of this as a more sustained pace into the future, or is it something of a pull forward because you see some of these emerging opportunities that you alluded to in your prepared remarks?

Yeah, thanks for the question. So I think it'd be helpful to walk you first half to second half revenue and then operating income or margin. When you think about sales, sales in the first half came in just under $7.2 billion. The midpoint of our guide puts us right around $7 billion. from a top-line perspective. We have three headwinds, first half to second half. First is the battery decline. That's about $60 million. FX is a headwind. It's about $80 million. And the rest is industry production. We're assuming modest decline in industry production, about 1%. That, again, takes us to $7 billion in revenue at the midpoint. On those lower revenues, we're decrementing at 15%. I'll call it mid-teens. And then we're leaning forward with that 10 to 15 million in industrial R&D. If you were to exclude that step up in R&D, our margin would be at 10.8%. That's effectively in line with first half. If you include industrial R&D at the midpoint, we're at 10.6%. So from our perspective, this makes a lot of sense. And we're excited to invest that extra $10 to $15 million to enhance our portfolio.

And, Joe, I can answer the question on sustained investment. You know, so from my standpoint, these opportunities are what's driving the R&D investment. So, you know, as we continue to see more opportunities in the industrial space, you know, we're going to go after them. These products, keep in mind, they take probably 18 to 24 months to develop in general. And also, you know, when we start investing, you know, you can expect to have some level of sustained spending. But I think we know that BoardWarner is pretty efficient with how we spend our R&D, and it's, in this case, focused on really attractive growth. And, Joe, maybe just one other comment.

You know, we've got to step back and think about we're executing in the short term. We're still expanding margins. We're still expanding EPS. We're still generating a significant amount of free cash flow. And at the same time, we're investing in our long term in a high growth market. It's a great time to be a board member.

Yeah, no, absolutely. The second question, maybe just sort of turning back to, you know, the automotive business. One of the things that has clearly come a little bit more into focus is some of the vehicles being exported from China and similarly some of the maybe European luxury programs into China. Can you remind us what you think your exposure is to, I guess, China export business as a percent of your overall China business? And then have you seen any impact from some reduced demand of, let's say, legacy European vehicles in China?

So maybe to frame that a bit, so China is about 20% of forewarners' global sales. We don't break out local versus export. I mean, quite frankly, we don't know when they're exporting a vehicle or not. So that's not something I hope we really break out. What we are feeling good about is that position, that strong position we have in China, has led to some tailwinds as they export more to the other markets. So the Chinese OEMs had an amazing first half in terms of export. And we don't see any reason why that wouldn't continue. With regard to the European luxury power makers, we really don't see a big issue in Mexico. A lot of that just comes down to our customer diversity. When a few are up, others are down. Most of that tends to just kind of wash out. So that's what we see at this point.

Thanks so much. The next question will come from Andrew Percoco with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Great. Thanks for taking the question. I want to come back to some of the comments you made on the turbine generator product and the hyperscaler interest that you're seeing. Can you just provide some context on whether they're looking at this product on a primary power basis or a backup power basis? And also, if you can provide any insight in terms of if the economics look any different from your perspective on your side on whether or not they end up using it prime versus backup.

Yeah. Hi, James. So, our turbine generator can serve in both primary and backup. In fact, when we started this project a few years ago, we thought the majority of applications would be in backup. up, I would say in the last 12 months that's flopped and we see more of them in prime use. So I think that just speaks to the speed to compute and the shortage of power generation in general. So this TurboCell unit using BoardWarner TG serves equally well in both of those, very low emissions, lower noise than some of our competitors. the speed to market is really important. So we're excited about it. In terms of the economics, I would just say overall, we're very pleased with the terms and the agreement that we have with Endeavor across all use cases.

Okay. That's helpful. And you mentioned time to power obviously being probably more important at this point than just cost of power. So as you scale production in 2027, what's your targeted order to kind of delivery conversion timeline? What are you trying to advertise to the customers that are talking to you about taking delivery of this product?

Yeah, so we've announced we're installing two gigawatts of capacity, and in the initial year, which is next year, about $300 million of revenue. So we are quoting through Endeavor lead times to deliver these units. I would say it's another advantage we have in the system. I mean, think about it this way. We're standing up materially automotive production and supply chain in an environment that's probably not used to that type of speed. So we feel this is also a competitive advantage for us. So the order time is well within the lead times of our capacity and the capacity of our suppliers.

So you're talking about, like, potentially less than six months from when someone places an order to when you can deliver it. Is that a fair way to think about it, once you have capacity?

Yeah, I would say we haven't really disclosed our lead times, and we're not going to talk about that. But I would say the main focus right now is on launching the unit in 2026, and we'll share more as we get into 2027 with regard to your questions.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'll take the rest offline. Appreciate it.

The next question will come from James Piccarello with BNP Paribas. Please go ahead.

Hey, good morning, everybody. So I know Koch Industries has already been mentioned amid the recent news flow of Koch potentially looking to sell its stake in EDGE at an high $15 billion valuation, maybe. My question is, and I know it's all speculation at this point, but within the contractual relationship you have with EDGE by way of TurboCell, are there any change in control triggers involved, anything that could affect the $300 million plus in revenue that you have slated for next year? Thanks.

Yeah, so there's nothing in our agreement that triggers change in control. You have to keep in mind that there's several edged legal entities. The one that we directly deal with is 100% owned by Endeavor. That's not what's being spoken about. It's more about what we understand, how code can raise additional money to support the growth that's coming. So, you know, again, we don't see this as a material issue. We're just excited to be partnered with Endeavor and their edged business unit. And we just think it adds great credibility to what they're doing if partners like Koch and others are out there raising money to fund their projects.

Yeah, no, for sure. Totally agree. And on battery systems, losses through the first half, only totaled $4 million. And I know there are charging exit and battery plant consolidation savings in play, but, like, if we scrub for those, the underlying performance is still far and away better than the company's targeted mid-teens decremental. Can you just shed some light on what's driving that and just directionally how we should be thinking about the first half to second half bridge for this particular segment? Thanks.

Sure. So really pleased with BES and their performance. They've taken a lot of restructuring actions, both in 2025 and continue to take actions in 2026 to get that cost structure right. On top of that, you mentioned that we have the benefit of the exit of our charging business last year. That's benefiting our financials this year. Ultimately, as you walk from first half to second half, we would expect to manage it and that mid-teens, decremental conversion does that success, and that's what we're focused on executing.

Mid-teams, decremental half over half.

Half over half.

Appreciate it. Thanks.

Thank you.

The next question will come from Emmanuel Rosner with Wolf Research. Please go ahead.

My first question, you've been obviously announcing a real significant amount of awards pretty consistently every quarter, you know, another sort of like seven today. Any way to help us frame, you know, what this could do for your close-over market on a go-forward basis and the timing of it? You know, can we expect it to be, you know, already positive in 2027? And, you know, where could the trend sort of like over time as you launch a lot of these businesses? Sure.

So, you know, what I am pleased with, and you referenced it, is this booking strength that we've had over the last two years. And it's been across all of our product lines. So I do expect these bookings to support an improvement in our objective and outgrowth across portfolio in 2027. And then, of course, we announced the $300 million of new growth associated with the industrial business. business. So overall, Craig and I are pleased with the progress we're making, and we'll share more early next year on 2027.

But even longer term, without being specific on 2027, and does that enable you to go back to historical levels of growth of a market? Yeah.

So Emmanuel, what we've clearly stated is Craig and I are not pleased with the current outgrowth that the company is witnessing and that is why we adjusted the strategy to drive growth across the entire portfolio so as you can probably imagine these strong bookings that we've had over the last two years they take time to come to production but we're clearly expecting that they're going to improve the outgrowth of the company and as those volumes move through launch and into peak volumes, you know, we're anticipating those improvements will continue to come. So we'll share more in 2027, but I think that probably gives you a good idea of where we're headed.

Yeah, no, thank you. And then on the industrial side, can you help us dimension the inverter, you know, size of the opportunity for you? Not so much in terms of addressable market, but more in terms of how much capacity, you know, you're planning to have, right? Because for the turbines, we kind of know the initial capacity that's put in the ground. On the energy storage side, I think your capacity is essentially the available one from some of your battery pack, you know, earlier investments. So we kind of have an order of size, but I'm not super clear on the inverter side. you know, what you have in terms of facilities, in terms of investment and capacity?

So we haven't announced any capacity availability or what we plan to install. I mean, frankly, we're going to move to quoting at the end of this year. That will be what we'll use to kind of gauge how do we leverage the existing capacity investment versus where we may need new capacity. One of the things we're really excited about with, especially our grid tie inverters, is, you know, their majority is designed in the U.S. We may plan some U.S. manufacturing even. So we've got a lot of opportunity on that product line. But it's early days in terms of quoting, and I'm sure we'll be in a position to share more in 2027.

Thank you.

The next question will come from Dan Levy with Barclays. Please go ahead.

Hi, thank you. I wanted to start with a question on capital allocation, and I know that you, in your release, issued a new $1 billion buyback authorization, so you've been buying back a fair amount of stock. How are you thinking about your capital allocation program in light of this new growth opportunity that you have, in light of a multiple that is better? I know you've talked about, you know, stepping up the spend a little bit, but that doesn't, you know, seems fairly modest. Is there more that can be done on accelerating spend, be it, you know, R&D or CapEx, that would then accelerate the growth opportunity? Is there any M&A that can be done? Just how are you thinking about spending accelerating the industrial opportunity?

Yeah, thanks, Dan. You know, as I step back, you know, what are Joe and I, what are we focused on? And we're focused on growing the earnings power of the company. And we want to create value with our cash. That's the ultimate goal. And we're always balancing inorganic opportunities, organic opportunities, share repurchases. We review it every quarter to make sure that we're creating value quarter after quarter. You know, when I take a look back over the past year, we repurchased $650 million. That's 5% of our market cap. That was success for us over the past four quarters. We're excited that we have the flexibility from our board of directors with another $1.35 billion. That represents 10% of our market cap approximately. It gives us a lot of flexibility, and I think it also shows the confidence we have in the future cash-generating ability of our business. But ultimately, our goal is to drive the earnings power of the company, and we're going to use every lever at our disposal to do just that.

And maybe to add a little bit, we will always prioritize these organic investments as we see growth opportunities, both on the R&D side and the CapEx side.

From a tech perspective, on the new growth opportunities, do you have everything you need in-house, or is there something you still need to acquire to sort of beef up the portfolio from a tech perspective?

I mean, I think we're moving from a position of strength. You know, when I look at our portfolio, especially that we've invested and grown over the last 10 years, these three new product lines for industrial are able to leverage a lot of that competence. Now, there may be opportunities through inorganic growth that we want to continue to strengthen the current portfolio or improve a market position. So, you know, in terms of M&A, we're sticking to the three criteria, which, again, is, you know, leverage the core competence of the company is the first priority. The second is making sure it's near-term accretive. And then third, that we don't overpay and we pay a fair value for any asset. So, you know, we continue to look inside mobility and outside, but I would say we've really raised the hurdle in terms of any decision we're going to make.

Okay, thank you. As a follow-up, I wanted to ask about your battery storage opportunity. You know, from some of the other players, we've heard a lot about the importance of having access to domestic LFP supply, which gives you the right chemistry, but also gives you ITC and PTC compliance. It looks here like your focus in battery storage is more on data centers. I know you've talked about being chemistry agnostic, but to what extent does having access to LFP matter and to what extent does PTC and ITC eligibility matter as you're building out the business case for battery storage?

So I think the way to see our energy storage first is we want to leverage the existing technology and capacity we have in, especially in our Seneca plant. So that's our first priority, but we have always and we continue to work with other cell types and cell supply manufacturers. So LFP is included in that, sodium ion is included in that. I think it's one of the great advantages of being cell agnostic is we have a lot of competence in how to integrate these cells, package them, control them, and sell EMS and ship them as a unit. So we do anticipate that we will require, you know, some of those other cell technologies on a go-forward basis. and we continue to invest in, you know, how do we bring those to market and with which partner?

Great. Thank you.

The next question will be coming from Alex Perry with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Hi. Thanks for taking our questions here. Just for the core auto business, I wanted to follow up. So you held the organic sales that slightly lowered the sort of low end of the range of production. Maybe just talk to us sort of what you're seeing in schedules. And particularly, I wanted to circle back on China. It's been a more challenging market for most of the supplier groups so far. Maybe talk to us what you're seeing in customer schedules there and maybe, you know, versus Europe and North America.

Yeah. So starting on a global level, production range has largely remained unchanged in our view. We still see schedules holding up as we expected. I would say there are some small regional changes. You know, China likely to be down four to seven percent, Europe down slightly, a little bit wider range, I would say, in North America between up one and a half and down two and a half to three. So there is a little bit of volatility still, especially in the Pascar side, but overall not big changes. You know, I think what people are recognizing is the strength of the Chinese OEMs exporting from China. They had very strong exports in the first half. So if you play that forward, you can imagine, you know, they're going to be exporting anywhere from, I don't know, 9 to 11 million units, which would be a big year-over-year increase. For us, it doesn't change much. You know, we're very strong with these leading Chinese OEMs, and our customer diversity more or less watches out some of those mixed issues that maybe others see in their business.

Really helpful. And then just another follow-up on the PowerGen. Any sort of sense on how fast you can scale, you know, the PowerGen sales with the existing capacity? So, I think you're sort of earmarking $300 million for next year. You know, what can that sort of scale to over time and then any sort of help or sense in, you know, sizing the sort of EBIT contribution as we start to build out our models here?

Yeah, I would first say, you know, we're very focused, our teams are very focused on a successful launch. So we have announced $300 million in revenue, which we're very comfortable with next year. but right now we're focused on executing flawlessly and doing everything we need to and supporting our suppliers and doing the same. We haven't shared any ratios of revenue to capacity. That might be something we do in the future, but we don't see really demand as a constraint or our ability to scale as a constraint. It really comes down to, you know, are we hitting our quality milestones and our operational milestones to be able to serve, you know, those requirements that we see out there.

Perfect. That's really helpful. Best of luck going forward.

Thank you. We have time for one final question, and that question comes from Rajak Gupta with J.P. Morgan. Please go ahead.

Great. Thanks for taking the question. I just wanted to follow up some of the hyperscaler opportunities. You mentioned earlier about the award in the battery space to be substantial. I'm curious, without rule of thumb, can you frame the range of outcomes? What comes first with that kind of an award? Is it the turbine? Is it the storage system? Is it the inverter? I'm just curious how the sequencing would work. and, in fact, you know, just a capacity decision. And I have a quick follow-up.

Yeah, maybe for clarity's sake, you know, the turbine generator, that's a product that we have developed and are supported by Endeavor. We go to market through Endeavor. On the battery side or energy storage side and the power conversion side, we can serve the entire market. But with regard to sequencing, you know, we expect to lead with turbine generator. Obviously, we've announced that it's the most developed product and we're launching that with clear customer, you know, next year. We do expect to see some battery awards this year, as we've shared in the past. And then I would say the power conversion is a little bit behind that. and that's mainly due to the development is a little bit behind the energy storage side. So that's why we shared we'll start to go with that toward the end of this year. So hopefully that's helpful.

Yes, no, that's helpful. And then just on like, you know, the 2027 start of production, what are the remaining getting factors to that sort of production? It seems like everything so far has been tracking per plan. I'm curious, like, what are the next final one or two steps before the shipments?

Sure. So we announced a couple of the milestones, which we're really pleased with the progress we've been making to date. There's additional milestones. You know, how are we doing against our qualification testing to show that we meet all the requirements we need to. There's reliability testing. There's the ramp up of production to make sure we're, you know, hitting our quality and cycle time as we expect. So those are some of the things we're looking at internally to gauge our success. And where do we have to adjust? But this part of the process is well known to BoardWarner. You know, we conduct over, I can't even imagine, hundreds, Let's just say hundreds of launches a year. So this part of the product development and launch phase we're very familiar with. So it's just a lot of work and focus on execution and adjusting where you need to, where you find issues. So really pleased with the progress to date.

Thanks for the call, and good luck.

Thank you. With that, I'd like to thank everyone for their questions today. If you have any additional follow-ups, feel free to reach out to me or my team. With that, Nick, you can go ahead and conclude today's call.

This concludes the BorgWarner 2026 second quarter results conference call. You may now disconnect.
