Excluding substrate sales and the impact of currency, revenue increased 7% to $5.938 billion versus $5.527 billion the prior year. Higher light vehicle production in North America, China and India, strong aftermarket sales in North America, and incremental revenue from commercial vehicle business drove record-high revenue despite lower OE volumes and aftermarket sales in Europe and South America. Total OE commercial and specialty vehicle revenue increased 22% year-over-year to $804 million.
