American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings reported on Friday a swing to a profit on strong volumes with product mix changes driving up sales.
The Detroit-based vehicle-parts maker posted quadrupled profit of $20.5 million, or 17 cents a share, compared with a loss of $5.1 million, or 4 cents a share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Stripping out one-time items, adjusted earnings were 18 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had been expecting just 2 cents a share.
Quarterly sales climbed to $1.61 billion from $1.49 billion last year, beating analyst estimates for $1.52 billion, according to FactSet.
Chief Executive David Dauch said the strong sales performance was driven by better-than-expected volume and mix gains.
