Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $762 million, as compared to $773 million in the prior year.

Two Acquisitions Completed in Fourth Quarter

The company completed the acquisition of Wind River Systems Inc. in December 2022. Wind River is a global leader in delivering software for the intelligent edge and Aptiv says it expects this acquisition to accelerate the journey to a software-defined future of the automotive industry.

The company also acquired an 85% interest in Intercable Automotive Solutions S.r.l. in November 2022. Intercable Automotive is an industry leader in high-voltage power distribution and interconnect technology and we expect this acquisition to enhance our position as a leader in vehicle architecture systems.
