VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

Description of Business: Visteon Corporation (the “Company” or “Visteon”) is a supplier of climate, interiors and electronics systems, modules and components to global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan, Visteon has a workforce of approximately 23,000 employees and a network of manufacturing operations, technical centers and joint ventures in every major geographic region of the world.

Interim Financial Statements: The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Management believes that such estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable and appropriate. However, due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual results may differ from those provided in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and over which the Company exercises control. Investments in affiliates of greater than 20% and for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise control are accounted for using the equity method.

Discontinued Operations: On August 1, 2012, the Company completed the sale of its Lighting operations for proceeds of approximately $70 million. The Company recorded impairment charges principally related to property and equipment of approximately $2 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2012. The results of operations of the Lighting business have been classified to Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Discontinued operations are summarized as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2012
	(Dollars in Millions)
Sales	$	139
Cost of sales	123
Gross margin	16
Selling, general and administrative expenses	3
Asset impairments	2
Other expense	2
Income from discontinued operations before income taxes	9
Provision for income taxes	6
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	3

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents amounts designated for uses other than current operations and includes $9 million of collateral for the Letter of Credit Facility with US Bank National Association, and $6 million related to cash collateral for other corporate purposes at March 31, 2013.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-2, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". This ASU requires companies to present, either in a note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of the amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted these new disclosure requirements with effect from January 1, 2013.

Table of Contents

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-5, "Foreign Currency Matters". The amendments in ASU 2013-5 resolve the diversity in practice about whether current literature applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part of all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2013-5 resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2013-5 and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. Non-Consolidated Affiliates

The Company recorded equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates of $44 million and $42 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company had $781 million and $756 million of equity in the net assets of non-consolidated affiliates at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The following table presents summarized financial data for the Company’s non-consolidated affiliates, including Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. ("Yanfeng"), of which the Company owns a 50% interest and which is considered a significant non-consolidated affiliate. Summarized financial information reflecting 100% of the operating results of the Company's equity investees are provided below:



	Three Months Ended March 31
	Net Sales				Gross Margin				Net Income
	2013		2012		2013		2012		2013		2012
	(Dollars in Millions)
Yanfeng	$	1,816	$	793	$	273	$	122	$	69	$	72
All other	386		413		26		42		22		17
	$	2,202	$	1,206	$	299	$	164	$	91	$	89

Yanfeng sales and gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 include approximately $757 million and $131 million, respectively, related to activity of a former equity investee that was consolidated effective June 1, 2012.

The Company monitors its investments in the net assets of non-consolidated affiliates for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that such a decline has occurred, an impairment loss is recorded, which is measured as the difference between carrying value and fair value.

In January 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 50% equity interest in Visteon TYC Corporation ("VTYC") for proceeds of approximately $17 million. VTYC is a lighting joint venture based in China with 2012 revenue of $134 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company determined that an other-than-temporary decline in the value of its investment in VTYC had occurred based on anticipated sale transaction proceeds and recorded an impairment of $5 million. No subsequent gain or loss was recorded on the sale.

In February 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 20% equity interest in Dongfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. for cash proceeds of approximately $20 million. The Company expects to recognize a gain of approximately $3 million upon completion of the sale in the second quarter of 2013.

Restructuring Activities

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $20 million of restructuring expenses, primarily related to severance and termination benefits associated with approximately 140 employees, including $14 million in connection with the reorganization of the Company's Climate operations in France, and $6 million related to the Company's previously announced program to transform its corporate and administrative functions. Utilization during the three months ended March 31, 2013 included $11 million related to the Climate operations in France and $3 million related to the corporate and administrative programs, primarily for employee severance and termination benefits, and $1 million related to other European Interiors plant programs. Given the economically-sensitive and highly competitive nature of the automotive industry, the Company continues to closely monitor current market factors and industry trends taking action as necessary, including but not limited to, additional restructuring actions. However, there can be no assurance that any such actions will be sufficient to fully offset the impact of adverse factors on the Company or its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $41 million of restructuring expenses, including $36 million recorded in connection with the previously announced closure of the Company's Cadiz Electronics operation in El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. In January 2012 the Company reached agreements with the local unions and Spanish government for the closure of its Cadiz operation, which were subsequently ratified by the employees in February 2012. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company agreed to pay one-time termination benefits, in excess of the statutory minimum requirement, of approximately $31 million. Additionally, the Company agreed to transfer land, building and machinery with a net book value of approximately $14 million for the benefit of the employees. The Company also recorded $5 million of other exit costs related to the Cadiz exit including amounts payable to the Spanish government in connection with the asset contribution. The Company also recorded approximately $4 million for employee severance and termination benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2012 including $3 million associated with the separation of approximately 250 employees at a South American Interiors facility and $1 million associated with 40 voluntary employee separations associated with the Climate action announced in the fourth quarter of 2011.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, restructuring liabilities of $42 million and $39 million, respectively, are classified as other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company anticipates that the activities associated with these reserves will be substantially completed by the end of 2013. The following is a summary of the Company's restructuring reserves and related activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Transformation Activities

Business transformation costs of $16 million and $8 million were incurred during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to financial and advisory fees associated with continued execution of its comprehensive value creation plan, including the following activities.

•

Climate consolidation - During the first quarter of 2013, Halla Climate Control Corporation ("Halla") purchased certain subsidiaries and intellectual property of Visteon's global climate business for approximately $410 million. With effect from February 1, 2013, this combined climate business has been operating under the name of Halla Visteon Climate Control ("HVCC"). HVCC is majority-owned by Visteon and headquartered in South Korea.


•	Interiors strategy - The Company continued to explore alternatives for its Interiors business including, but not limited to, divestiture, partnership or alliance. While the Company views Interiors as a non-core business, it continues to make commitments to this business and intends to divest in the future only under acceptable terms and conditions.


•	Electronics optimization - The Company continued to explore opportunities to optimize the size and scale of its Electronics business with a specific focus on cockpit electronic products.


•	Cost reduction program - In November 2012 the Company announced a $100 million restructuring program designed to reduce fixed costs and to improve operational efficiency by addressing certain under-performing operations. During the

first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded additional $20 million associated with this program for total inception to date expense under the program of $55 million. The Company anticipates recording additional restructuring charges related to this program in future periods as underlying plans are finalized.

The Company’s expected 2013 contributions may be revised.

NOTE 9. Income Taxes

During the three-months ended March 31, 2013 the Company recognized a benefit from income taxes of $18 million, which includes income tax expense in countries where the Company is profitable, withholding taxes, changes in uncertain tax benefits, and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $27 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Pre-tax losses in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are maintained and no income tax benefits are recognized totaled $92 million and $113 million, respectively, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company provides for U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the projected future repatriations of the earnings from its non-U.S. operations at each tier of the legal entity structure. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized expense of $7 million and $5 million, respectively, reflecting the Company's forecasts which contemplate numerous financial and operational considerations that impact future repatriations.

The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against income before income taxes, excluding equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the period. Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate calculations are performed for those countries where the Company's operations are profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax valuation allowances exist

and are maintained. The Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain other non-recurring tax items, including changes in judgments about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.

The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will continue to cause variability in the Company's quarterly and annual effective tax rates. Full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them. In this regard, it is reasonably possible that existing valuation allowances on approximately $11 million of deferred tax assets related to unutilized Korean foreign tax credit carryforwards could be eliminated during 2013 as the Company continues to monitor whether certain tax planning strategies that would require further corporate restructuring is ultimately prudent and feasible.

The amount of income tax expense or benefit allocated to continuing operations is generally determined without regard to the tax effects of other categories of income or loss, such as other comprehensive income. However, an exception to the general rule is provided when there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and net pre-tax income from other categories in the current year. In such instances, net pre-tax income from other categories must offset the current loss from operations, the tax benefit of such offset being reflected in continuing operations even when a valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets. In instances where a valuation allowance is established against current year operating losses, net pre-tax income from other sources, including other comprehensive income, is considered when determining whether sufficient future taxable income exists to realize the deferred tax assets.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world and the income tax returns of its subsidiaries in various tax jurisdictions are subject to periodic examination by respective tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse and/or favorable outcomes to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for tax adjustments that it believes are more likely than not to be realized as a result of any ongoing or future examination. Accounting estimates associated with uncertain tax positions require the Company to make judgments regarding the sustainability of each uncertain tax position based on its technical merits. If the Company determines it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits, the Company records the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These estimates are updated at each reporting date based on the facts, circumstances and information available. Due to the complexity of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company's current estimate of the liabilities recorded.

Gross unrecognized tax benefits were $79 million at March 31, 2013 and $117 million at December 31, 2012, of which approximately $30 million and $71 million, respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefit differs from that which would impact the effective tax rate due to uncertain tax positions embedded in other deferred tax attributes carrying a full valuation allowance. Since the uncertainty is expected to be resolved while a full valuation allowance is maintained, these uncertain tax positions should not impact the effective tax rate in current or future periods. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $20 million at March 31, 2013 and $36 million at December 31, 2012.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, the tax authorities in Spain completed an income tax examination related to the tax years 2006 through 2009 and the Company reached an agreement regarding its transfer pricing methodology resulting in a cash settlement of $2 million paid during the quarter. Other decreases in the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits that impact the effective tax rate total approximately $38 million and primarily relate to reevaluating prior year uncertain tax positions arising from developments during the quarter associated with the examination in Spain which further validated the transfer pricing methodologies employed to allocate income and expense among various jurisdictions in Europe and the United States.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2008 or state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2002. Although it is not possible to predict the timing of the resolution of all ongoing tax audits with accuracy, it is reasonably possible that certain tax proceedings in Asia (including Korea) could conclude within the next twelve months and result in a significant increase or decrease in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits.

During 2012 Korean tax authorities commenced a review of Halla for tax years 2007 through 2011 and issued a formal notice of assessment, including penalties, of approximately $23 million for alleged underpayment of withholding tax on dividends paid and other items, including certain management service fees charged by Visteon. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, Halla paid approximately $20 million to the Korean tax authorities, as required under Korean tax regulations, to pursue the appeals process. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will receive a favorable ruling when all of the available appeals have been exhausted. The appeal payments are included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013.

During the first quarter of 2013, Halla purchased certain subsidiaries and intellectual property relating to Visteon's global climate business for a total purchase price of $410 million. As of March 31, 2013 Visteon had received $344 million in proceeds associated with the transaction. Remaining proceeds are associated with certain subsidiaries and joint ventures located in China and are expected to be received during the second quarter of 2013. In connection with the transaction, Visteon will provide transition services and lease certain U.S. based employees to HVCC. The transfer of Visteon's Climate operations to HVCC qualifies as a common control transaction. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities were transferred at their respective carrying value and no gain or loss was recorded by the Company.

Share Repurchase Program

In July 2012, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock. In January 2013, the board of directors reauthorized the current $100 million and increased the repurchase amount an additional $200 million, bringing the total share repurchase authorization to $300 million. On March 5, 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $125 million and received an initial delivery of 1,713,502 shares of common stock. The value of those shares on the date of delivery was $100 million at $58.36 per share and is included in common stock held in treasury. The remaining $25 million is included in Additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. On April 17, 2013 the program concluded and the Company received an additional 495,576 shares. The final settlement was based on a negotiated discount to the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock over the term of the share repurchase program agreement. As of March 31, 2013, $125 million remains authorized for repurchase over the next two years.

NOTE 11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method in computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Visteon, after deducting undistributed income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding after deducting undistributed income allocated to participating securities. Performance based share units are considered contingently issuable shares, and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period and if the result would be dilutive.

The table below provides details underlying the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

The impact of the unsettled portion of the Company's accelerated share repurchase program has been excluded from per share calculations due to its anti-dilutive effect. Additionally, the effect of certain common stock equivalents including warrants and stock options were excluded from the computation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of such items would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 12. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are categorized, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.


•	Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.


•	Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.


•	Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company's fair value of debt was approximately $809 million at March 31, 2013 and $600 million at December 31, 2012. Fair value estimates were based on quoted market prices or current rates for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Accordingly, the Company's debt is classified as Level 2, “Other Observable Inputs” in the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends and investments in subsidiaries. Where possible, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including forward and option contracts, to protect the Company’s cash flow from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed monthly and natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument.

The Company’s primary foreign currency exposures include the Euro, Korean Won, Czech Koruna, Hungarian Forint, Indian Rupee and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had forward contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $503 million and $554 million, respectively. Fair value estimates of these contracts are based on quoted market prices. A portion of these instruments has been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of Stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the ineffective portion recorded as Cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Foreign currency hedge instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under an income approach using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying and non-performance risk. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Accordingly, the Company's foreign currency instruments are classified as Level 2, “Other Observable Inputs” in the fair value hierarchy.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, including cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative contracts and accounts receivable, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. The Company’s counterparties for cash equivalents, marketable securities and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company’s requirement of high credit standing. The Company’s counterparties for derivative contracts are with investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives and is assessed on a net basis. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit

Table of Contents

standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counterparty and through monitoring counterparty credit risks. The Company’s concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is not significant. With the exception of the customers below, the Company’s credit risk with any individual customer does not exceed ten percent of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.



	March 31	December 31
	2013	2012
Ford and affiliates	24%	19%
Hyundai Mobis Company	14%	16%

Management periodically performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral.

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and Commitments

The Company has guaranteed approximately $50 million of subsidiary lease payments under various arrangements generally spanning between one to ten years in duration, and $6 million for affiliate credit lines and other credit support agreements. In connection with an agreement entered in 2009 with the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation ("PBGC"), the Company agreed to provide a guarantee by certain affiliates of contingent pension obligations of up to $30 million, the term of this guarantee is dependent upon events as specifically set forth in the PBGC agreement.

Litigation and Claims

In February 2013, three putative class action complaints were filed in the Superior Courts of Justice in Ontario against the Company and several other global suppliers of automotive instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units alleging violations of Canadian laws related to competition. Plaintiffs purport to be direct and indirect purchasers of automotive instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units supplied by the Company and/or the other defendants during the relevant period. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants conspired to fix prices and allocate the market and customers for instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and/or electronic control units in North America resulting in plaintiffs paying supra-competitive prices for instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units or vehicles containing instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units. The plaintiffs in these proceedings seek injunctive relief and recovery of an unspecified amount of damages, as well as investigative costs and costs relating to the proceedings. The ultimate outcome of this litigation, and consequently, an estimate of the possible loss, if any, related to this litigation, cannot reasonably be determined at this time. However, the Company believes the plaintiffs' allegations against it are without merit and otherwise would be barred following the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and it intends to vigorously defend itself in these proceedings. In addition, the Company has not been contacted by any U.S. or Canadian governmental organization indicating that it is the subject of any investigation relating to anti-competitive conduct in respect of automotive instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units.

Several current and former employees of Visteon Deutschland GmbH (“Visteon Germany”) filed civil actions against Visteon Germany in various German courts beginning in August 2007 seeking damages for the alleged violation of German pension laws that prohibit the use of pension benefit formulas that differ for salaried and hourly employees without adequate justification. Several of these actions have been joined as pilot cases. In a written decision issued in April 2010, the Federal Labor Court issued a declaratory judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the pilot cases. To date, more than 750 current and former employees have filed similar actions or have inquired as to or been granted additional benefits, and an additional 600 current and former employees are similarly situated. The Company's remaining reserve for unsettled cases is approximately $9 million and is based on the Company’s best estimate as to the number and value of the claims that will be made in connection with the pension plan. However, the Company’s estimate is subject to many uncertainties which could result in Visteon Germany incurring amounts in excess of the reserved amount of up to approximately $7 million.

The Company's operations in Brazil are subject to highly complex labor, tax, customs and other laws. While the Company believes that it is in compliance with such laws, it is periodically engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws. As of March 31, 2013, the Company maintained accruals of approximately $9 million for claims aggregating approximately $141 million. The

Table of Contents

amounts accrued represent claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the Company's assessment of the claims and prior experience with similar matters.

On May 28, 2009, the Company filed voluntary petitions in the Court seeking reorganization relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and continued to operate as debtors-in-possession until emergence on October 1, 2010. Substantially all pre-petition liabilities and claims relating to rejected executory contracts and unexpired leases have been settled under the plan of reorganization, however, the ultimate amounts to be paid in settlement of each those claims will continue to be subject to the uncertain outcome of litigation, negotiations and Bankruptcy Court decisions for a period of time after the emergence date.

In December of 2009, the Court granted the Debtors' motion in part authorizing them to terminate or amend certain other postretirement employee benefits, including health care and life insurance. On December 29, 2009, the IUE-CWA, the Industrial Division of the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, CLC, filed a notice of appeal of the Court's order with the District Court. By order dated March 31, 2010, the District Court affirmed the Court's order in all respects. On April 1, 2010, the IUE filed a notice of appeal. On July 13, 2010, the Circuit Court reversed the order of the District Court as to the IUE-CWA and directed the District Court to, among other things, direct the Court to order the Company to take whatever action is necessary to immediately restore terminated or modified benefits to their pre-termination/modification levels. On July 27, 2010, the Company filed a Petition for Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc requesting that the Circuit Court review the panel’s decision, which was denied. By orders dated August 30, 2010, the Court ruled that the Company should restore certain other postretirement employee benefits to the appellant-retirees and also to salaried retirees and certain retirees of the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”). On September 1, 2010, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the District Court of the Court's decision to include non-appealing retirees, and on September 15, 2010 the UAW filed a Notice of Cross-Appeal. The appeals process includes mandatory mediation of the dispute. The Company subsequently reached an agreement with the original appellants in late-September 2010, which resulted in the Company not restoring other postretirement employee benefits of such retirees. On September 30, 2010, the UAW filed a complaint, which it amended on October 1, 2010, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment to prohibit the Company from terminating certain other postretirement employee benefits for UAW retirees after the Effective Date. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the UAW's complaint and a motion to transfer the case to the District of Delaware, which motions are pending. As of January 11, 2013, the parties agreed to a settlement term sheet. The parties are currently working towards a final settlement agreement and preliminary approval of the settlement by the court. As of March 31, 2013, the Company maintains an accrual for claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the pending settlement.

Product Warranty and Recall

Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts that will ultimately be required to settle such items. The Company’s estimates for product warranty and recall obligations are developed with support from its sales, engineering, quality and legal functions and include due consideration of contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims and related information, production changes, industry and regulatory developments and various other considerations. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers. The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the product warranty and recall claims liability for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to the requirements of federal, state, local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations and ordinances. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge and waste management. The Company is also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at properties

Table of Contents

it presently owns or operates and at third-party disposal or treatment facilities to which these sites send or arranged to send hazardous waste. The Company is aware of contamination at some of its properties. These sites are in various stages of investigation and cleanup. The Company currently is, has been, and in the future may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures.

Costs related to environmental assessments and remediation efforts at operating facilities, previously owned or operated facilities, or other waste site locations are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are recorded at undiscounted amounts, based on experience and assessments, and are regularly evaluated. The liabilities are recorded in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2013, the Company had recorded a reserve of approximately $1 million for environmental matters. However, estimating liabilities for environmental investigation and cleanup is complex and dependent upon a number of factors beyond the Company’s control and which may change dramatically. Accordingly, although the Company believes its reserve is adequate based on current information, the Company cannot provide any assurance that its ultimate environmental investigation and cleanup costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current reserve.

Other Contingent Matters

Various legal actions, governmental investigations and proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company, including those arising out of alleged defects in the Company’s products; governmental regulations relating to safety; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; product warranties; product recalls; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing matters may involve compensatory, punitive or antitrust or other treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, or other relief which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The Company enters into agreements that contain indemnification provisions in the normal course of business for which the risks are considered nominal and impracticable to estimate.

Contingencies are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Reserves have been established by the Company for matters discussed in the immediately foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of amounts, that cannot be estimated at March 31, 2013 and that are in excess of established reserves. The Company does not reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, based on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible.

NOTE 14. Segment Information

Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or a decision-making group, in deciding the allocation of resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Making Group ("CODM Group"), comprised of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments primarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measure) and operating assets. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of asset impairments, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, net restructuring expenses and other reimbursable costs, stock-based compensation expense, certain employee charges and benefits, reorganization items and other non-operating gains and losses. Operating assets include inventories and property and equipment utilized in the manufacture of the segments’ products.

The Company’s operating structure is organized by global product lines, including: Climate, Electronics and Interiors. These global product lines have financial and operating responsibility over the design, development and manufacture of the Company’s product portfolio. Global customer groups are responsible for the business development of the Company’s product portfolio and overall customer relationships. Certain functions such as procurement, information technology and other administrative activities are managed on a global basis with regional deployment.

The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:


•	Climate — The Company’s Climate product line includes climate air handling modules, powertrain cooling modules, heat exchangers, compressors, fluid transport and engine induction systems.

Table of Contents


•	Electronics — The Company’s Electronics product line includes audio systems, infotainment systems, driver information systems, powertrain and feature control modules, climate controls, and electronic control modules.


•	Interiors — The Company’s Interiors product line includes instrument panels, cockpit modules, door trim and floor consoles.

During the first quarter of 2013 the Company changed its corporate cost allocation methodology for management reporting purposes. Accordingly, certain costs associated with the Company's corporate headquarters and other administrative support functions not allocated to the Company's operating segments and subject to the Company's previously announced corporate and administrative restructuring program have been separately reported for all periods presented as Corporate reconciling items.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies, and (iii) the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain debt covenants.
