The lower EBIT was driven by higher costs, primarily reflecting higher commodity prices, the Super Duty Oakville launch, and temporary sourcing costs (including related tariffs) associated with the disruption in Novelis aluminum supply, offset partially by lower tariffs (excluding temporary Novelis-related).",
