Adjusted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2024 was $0.20 compared to Adjusted loss per share of $(0.11) in the third quarter of 2023.
In the third quarter of 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $174.4 million, or 11.6% of sales, as compared to $156.8 million, or 10.1% of sales, in the third quarter of 2023.

AAM's Adjusted free cash flow for the third quarter of 2024 was $74.6 million as compared to $135.8 million for the third quarter of 2023.
AAM's 2024 Updated Financial Outlook
