FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (unaudited)
REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Visteon Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Visteon Corporation and its subsidiaries as of
September 30, 2006 and the related consolidated
statements of operations for each of the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2005 and the consolidated statements of
cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.
These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying
consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders (deficit) / equity
and cash flows for the year then ended, managements
assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005 and the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005; in our report dated
March 16, 2006, we expressed (i) an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements, (ii) an
unqualified opinion on managements assessment of the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting, and (iii) an adverse opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. The consolidated financial statements and
managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting referred to above are not
presented herein. In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of
December 31, 2005 is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

VISTEON CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. Description
of Business and Company Background
Visteon Corporation (the Company or
Visteon) is a leading global supplier of automotive
systems, modules and components to global vehicle manufacturers
and the automotive aftermarket. Headquartered in Van Buren
Township, Michigan, with regional headquarters in Kerpen,
Germany and Shanghai, China, the Company has a workforce of
approximately 46,000 employees and a network of
manufacturing operations, technical centers, sales offices and
joint ventures in every major geographic region of the world.
ACH
Transactions
On May 24, 2005, the Company and Ford Motor Company
(Ford) entered into a non-binding Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU), setting forth a framework for
the transfer of 23 North American facilities and
related assets and liabilities (the Business) to a
Ford-controlled
entity. In September 2005, the Company and Ford entered
into several definitive agreements and the Company completed the
transfer of the Business to Automotive Components Holdings, LLC
(ACH), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
On October 1, 2005, Ford acquired from Visteon all of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the parent
of ACH in exchange for Fords payment to the Company of
approximately $300 million, as well as the forgiveness of
certain other postretirement employee benefit (OPEB)
liabilities and other obligations relating to hourly employees
associated with the Business, and the assumption of certain
other liabilities with respect to the Business (together, the
ACH Transactions). Additionally, on
October 1, 2005, Ford acquired from the Company
warrants to acquire 25 million shares of the Companys
common stock and agreed to provide funds to be used in the
Companys further restructuring.
The Company maintains significant commercial relationships with
Ford and its affiliates. Accordingly, transactions with Ford
constitute a significant amount of the Companys product
sales and services revenues, accounts receivable and certain
postretirement benefit obligations, as summarized below:

NOTE 2. Basis
of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements: The unaudited
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
United States 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.

VISTEON CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 2. Basis
of Presentation (Continued)
These interim consolidated financial statements include
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) 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. The Companys
management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading when read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as filed
with the SEC. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
full year results.
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 50% or
less but greater than 20% are accounted for using the equity
method. The consolidated financial statements also include the
accounts of certain entities in which the Company holds a
controlling interest based on exposure to economic risks and
potential rewards (variable interests) for which it is the
primary beneficiary.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period
presentation.
Revenue Recognition: The Company ships product
and records revenue pursuant to commercial agreements with its
customers generally in the form of an approved purchase order,
including the effects of contractual customer price
productivity. The Company does negotiate discrete price changes
with its customers, which are generally the result of unique
commercial issues between the Company and its customers and are
generally the subject of specific negotiations between the
Company and its customers. The Company records amounts
associated with discrete price changes as a reduction to revenue
when specific facts and circumstances indicate that a price
reduction is probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable.
The Company records amounts associated with discrete price
changes as an increase to revenue upon execution of a legally
enforceable contractual agreement and when collectibility is
reasonably assured.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of 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 Companys
consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106,
and 132(R). Under this statement, companies must
recognize a net asset or liability representing the funded
status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement
benefit (OPEB) plans beginning with the balance sheet as of
December 31, 2006. Implementation of this standard
will result in an additional non-current liability on the
Companys balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to
accumulated other comprehensive loss (after consideration of tax
effects); such recognition will not affect the Companys
consolidated statements of operations. The amount of this
liability is dependent on actuarial valuations and plan asset
values as of the September 30, 2006 measurement date, as
well as foreign currency exchange rates as of December 31,
2006. The Company estimates that the pre-tax charge to equity
could range from $125 to $175 million. Additionally, the
Company expects that the effect of the implementation of this
standard on its financial covenants will be immaterial.

VISTEON CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 2. Basis
of Presentation (Continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. This statement, which becomes effective
January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure
requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its
consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 108, Quantifying Financial Statement
Misstatements, (SAB 108). SAB 108 clarifies
that the evaluation of financial statement misstatements must be
made based on all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors;
this is referred to as a dual approach. The adoption
of SAB 108 is effective for the year ending December 31, 2006
and is not expected to have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation
No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
(SFAS 109), Accounting for Income
Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income
taxes in accordance with SFAS 109 with respect to
recognition and measurement of tax positions that are taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return and is effective
January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this interpretation on its consolidated financial
statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 156 (SFAS 156),
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets. This
statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities with
respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing
assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective on
January 1, 2007 and the Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated
financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004)
(SFAS 123(R)),
Share-Based
Payments. This statement requires that all share-based
payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements
based on their estimated fair value. SFAS 123(R) was
adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2006 using
the modified-prospective method. In accordance with the
modified-prospective method, the Companys consolidated
financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to
reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).
Under the modified-prospective method, compensation expense
includes:
|
|
|
Share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
(SFAS 123) Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation.
|
|
|
Share-based payments granted subsequent to
January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).
|
The cumulative effect, net of tax, of adoption of
SFAS 123(R) was $4 million or $0.03 per share as
of January 1, 2006. The Company recorded
$1 million, or $0.01 per share, and $12 million,
or $0.10 per share, of incremental compensation expense
during the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, under
SFAS 123(R) when compared to the amount that would have
been recorded under SFAS 123. Additional disclosures
required by SFAS 123(R) regarding the Companys
stock-based compensation plans and related accounting are
provided in Note 3 Stock-Based Compensation.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and effective
January 1, 2003 the Company began expensing the fair
value of stock-based awards granted to employees pursuant to
SFAS 123. This standard was adopted on the prospective
method basis for stock-based awards granted, modified or settled
after December 31, 2002. For stock options and
restricted stock awards granted prior to
January 1, 2003, the Company measured compensation
cost using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees as permitted by SFAS 123. If compensation
cost for all stock-based awards had been determined based on the
estimated fair value of stock options and the fair value at the
date of grant for restricted stock awards, in accordance with
the provisions of SFAS 123, the Companys reported net
loss and net loss per share would have resulted in the pro forma

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS 151),
Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement clarifies the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) and
requires that those items be recognized as current period
charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of
so abnormal. In addition, this statement requires
that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. SFAS 151 was adopted by the Company effective
from January 1, 2006 and did not have a material
effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 3. Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective
transition method, and accordingly prior period amounts have not
been restated to reflect and do not include the impact of
SFAS 123(R). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the
Company accounted for
stock-based
compensation in accordance with SFAS 123. The Company
recorded compensation expense including the cumulative effect of
change in accounting, for various stock-based compensation
awards issued pursuant to the plans described below in the
amounts of $17 million and $18 million, for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, and $47 million and $25 million for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. No related income tax benefits were recorded
during the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Stock-Based
Compensation Plans
The Visteon Corporation 2004 Incentive Plan
(2004 Incentive Plan) that was approved by
shareholders, is administered by the Organization and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and provides
for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights (SARs), performance stock
rights, restricted stock awards (RSAs), restricted
stock units (RSUs) and stock and various other
rights based on common stock. The maximum number of shares of
common stock that may be subject to awards under the 2004
Incentive Plan is approximately 22 million shares,
including an additional 7 million shares approved on
May 10, 2006. During the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2006, the Company granted under
the 2004 Incentive Plan approximately 20,000 and 2 million
RSUs, respectively. During the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006, the Company granted approximately
5 million SARs, 25,000 RSAs and 41,000 stock options
under the 2004 Incentive Plan. No SARs, RSAs or stock options
were granted during the
three-month
period ended September 30, 2006. At
September 30, 2006, there were approximately
8 million shares of common stock available for grant under
the 2004 Incentive Plan.
The Visteon Corporation Employees Equity Incentive Plan
(EEIP) that was approved by shareholders is
administered by the Organization and Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors and provides for the grant of
nonqualified stock options, SARs, performance stock rights and
stock, and various other rights based on common stock. The
maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to
awards under the EEIP is approximately 7 million shares. At
September 30, 2006, there were approximately
1 million shares of common stock available for grant under
the EEIP although the Company has not granted shares under this
plan during 2006.
The Visteon Corporation
Non-Employee
Director Stock Unit Plan provides for the automatic annual grant
of RSUs to
non-employee
directors. RSUs awarded under the
Non-Employee
Director Stock Unit Plan vest immediately, but are settled after
the participant terminates service as a non-employee director of
the Company.
Stock-Based
Compensation Awards
The Companys stock-based compensation awards take the form
of stock options, SARs, RSAs and RSUs.
|
|
|
Stock options and SARs granted under the aforementioned plans
have an exercise price equal to the average of the highest and
lowest prices at which the Companys common stock was
traded on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant
and become exercisable on a ratable basis over a three year
vesting period. Stock options and SARs granted under the
2004 Incentive Plan after December 31, 2003
expire five to seven years following the grant date. Stock
options granted under the EEIP, and those granted prior to
January 1, 2004 under the 2004 Incentive Plan, expire
10 years after the grant date. Stock options are settled in
shares of the Companys common stock upon exercise.
Accordingly, such amount is recorded in the Companys
consolidated balance sheets under the caption Additional
paid-in capital. SARs are settled in cash and accordingly
result in the recognition of a liability representing the vested
portion of the obligation. As of September 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, approximately $27 million
and less than $1 million, respectively, of such liability
is recorded in the Companys consolidated balance sheets
under the caption Other non-current liabilities.

RSAs and RSUs granted under the aforementioned plans vest after
a designated period of time (time-based), which is
generally two to five years, or upon the achievement of
certain performance goals (performance-based) at the
completion of a performance period, which is generally three
years. RSAs are settled in shares of the Companys common
stock upon the lapse of restrictions on the underlying shares.
Accordingly, such amount is recorded in the Companys
consolidated balance sheets under the caption Additional
paid-in capital. RSUs awarded under the
2004 Incentive Plan are settled in cash and, accordingly,
result in the recognition of a liability representing the vested
portion of the obligation. As of September 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, approximately $15 million
and $1 million, respectively, of the current portion of
such liability is recorded in the Companys consolidated
balance sheets under the caption Other current
liabilities. As of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, approximately $12 million and
$13 million, respectively, of the long-term portion of such
liability is recorded under the caption Other non-current
liabilities.

Fair Value
Estimation Methodology and Assumptions
The Companys use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model
requires management to make various assumptions including the
risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected volatility, and
dividend yield. Expected volatilities are based on the
historical volatility of the Companys stock. The expected
term represents the period of time that stock-based compensation
awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated
based on considerations including the vesting period,
contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. The
risk-free rate for periods during the contractual life of
stock-based compensation rewards is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
Dividend yield assumptions are based on historical patterns and
future expectations.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company used the
Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value
of its equity based awards. All other awards were based on the
intrinsic value of the underlying stock. The weighted average
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options
granted during the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

The Company has undertaken various restructuring activities
designed to achieve its strategic objectives and improve
profitability. Restructuring activities include, but are not

under its existing debt agreements, subject to the terms of
applicable covenants. The Company does not expect that the

Agreement
Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, dated as of

be reimbursed from the escrow account for the first
$250 million of reimbursable restructuring costs, as

invested, at the direction of the Company, in high quality,
short-term investments and related investment earnings are
credited to the account as earned. Under the terms of the Escrow
Agreement, investment earnings are not available for
disbursement until the initial funding is utilized. The

As of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, approximately $9 million and
$27 million, respectively, of amounts receivable from the
escrow account were included in the Companys consolidated
balance sheets.
2006
Restructuring Actions
On January 11, 2006, the Company announced a
three-year improvement plan that involves certain
underperforming and non-strategic plants and businesses and is
designed to improve operating performance and achieve cost
reductions. Activities associated with this plan are expected to
affect up to 23 facilities with costs expected to include
employee severance and termination benefit costs, contract
termination costs, and production transfer costs.
The Company currently estimates that the total cash cost
associated with this three-year improvement plan will be
approximately $400 million, which is lower than the
initially estimated amount of $550 million. The Company
continues to achieve targeted cost reductions associated with
the three-year improvement plan at a lower cost than expected
due to higher levels of employee attrition and lower per
employee severance cost resulting from changes to certain
employee benefit plans during 2006. The Company anticipates that
approximately $300 million of cash costs incurred under the
three-year improvement plan will be reimbursed from the escrow
account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
Generally, charges are recorded as elements of the plan are
finalized and the timing of activities and the amount of related
costs are not likely to change.
The Company has incurred $72 million in cumulative
restructuring costs related to the three-year improvement plan
including $35 million, $18 million, $13 million
and $6 million for the Other, Electronics, Interiors and
Climate product groups respectively. Substantially all
restructuring expenses recorded to date relate to employee
severance and termination benefit costs and are aggregated as
Restructuring expenses on the consolidated
statements of operations.

NOTE 4. Restructuring
Activities (Continued)
On October 31, 2006 the Company announced a plan to
reduce its salaried workforce by approximately 900 people
in response to significant reductions in vehicle production by a
number of the Companys customers. The Company expects to
record a charge of up to $65 million in the
fourth quarter of 2006, offset by an equivalent amount of
recovery from the escrow account. The Company anticipates that
this action will generate up to $75 million of annual
savings when completed.
Significant restructuring actions under the three-year
improvement plan for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2006 include the following:
|
|
|
Approximately $6 million of severance and termination
benefit costs for approximately 1,000 employees related to
a restructuring initiative at a North American Electronics
manufacturing facility.
|
|
|
Approximately $5 million related to the announced closure
of a North American Interiors manufacturing facility,
comprised of approximately $4 million for an early
termination lease penalty and approximately $1 million for
severance for 265 hourly and 26 salaried employees.
|
|
|
Approximately $2 million of severance and termination
benefit costs for 21 hourly employees related to the exit
of certain assembly operations at a European Interiors
manufacturing facility.
|
In addition to the above, significant restructuring actions for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 include
the following:
|
|
|
Approximately $6 million related to workforce reduction
activities in Electronics manufacturing facilities in Mexico and
Portugal for employee severance and termination benefit costs
for approximately 500 hourly and 50 salaried employees.
|
|
|
Approximately $6 million related to the announced closure
of a European Interiors manufacturing facility for employee
severance and termination benefits costs for approximately
150 hourly and salaried employees.
|
|
|
Approximately $3 million related to a Climate manufacturing
facility in Mexico for employee severance and termination
benefit costs associated with approximately 350 hourly and
salaried employees.

NOTE 4. Restructuring
Activities (Continued)
Reserve utilization primarily includes cash payments and
reclassifications between restructuring reserves and
post-employment benefit obligations. For the three-months ended
September 30, 2006, approximately $8 million of
utilization was related to cash payments and $1 million
related to the reclassification of postretirement benefit
obligations.
NOTE 5. Asset
Impairments
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006
and 2005, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of
$22 million and $1,176 million, respectively, to
adjust property and equipment to their estimated fair values in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS 144). The fair value of property and
equipment is based upon estimated discounted future cash flows
and estimates of salvage value. These impairment charges
represent the difference between the estimated fair values and
the carrying value of the subject assets.
2006 Asset
Impairments
During the second quarter of 2006 the Company announced the
closure of a European Interiors facility. In connection with
this action, the Company recorded an asset impairment of
$10 million to reduce the net book value of certain
long-lived assets to their estimated fair value.
Also during the second quarter of 2006 and in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The
Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common
Stock, the Company determined that an other than
temporary decline in the fair market value of its
investment in Vitro Flex, S.A. de C.V.
(Vitro Flex) had occurred. Consequently, the
Company reduced the carrying value of its investment in Vitro
Flex by approximately $12 million to its estimated fair
market value at June 30, 2006.
2005 Asset
Impairments
On May 24, 2005, the Company and Ford entered into a
non-binding MOU, setting forth a framework for the transfer of
the Business to a Ford-controlled entity. In
September 2005, the Company and Ford entered into several
definitive agreements and the Company completed the transfer of
the Business to ACH, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
Following the signing of the MOU and at June 30, 2005,
the Company classified the manufacturing facilities and
associated assets, including inventory, machinery, equipment and
tooling to be sold as held for sale. The liabilities
to be assumed or forgiven by Ford pursuant to the
ACH Transactions, including employee liabilities and
postretirement employee benefits payable to Ford were classified
as liabilities associated with assets held for sale
in the Companys consolidated balance sheet following the
signing of the MOU. SFAS 144 requires long-lived assets
that are considered held for sale to be measured at
the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to
sell and future depreciation of such assets is ceased. During
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, the
Companys Automotive Operations segment recorded a non-cash
impairment charge of $920 million to write-down those
assets considered held for sale to their aggregate
estimated fair value less cost to sell.
Additionally, during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, the Automotive Operations segment
recorded an impairment charge of $256 million to reduce the
net book value of certain
long-lived
assets considered to be held for use to their
estimated fair value. The impairment assessment was performed
pursuant to impairment indicators including lower than
anticipated current and near term future production volumes and
the related impact on the Companys projected operating
results and cash flows.

NOTE 6. Acquisitions
and Divestitures
On September 29, 2006, the Company and its joint
venture partners Vitro Plan, S.A. de C.V. and Vidrio Plano de
Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively Vitro) entered
into a Master Termination and Withdrawal Agreement whereby the
Company agreed to withdraw from the Vitro Flex joint venture.
The Company received proceeds of $9 million for its
withdrawal, which approximated the carrying value of the
Companys investment. Proceeds included a four-year
non-interest bearing note receivable from Vitro payable in equal
annual installments of $1.85 million through 2010. This
non-interest bearing note receivable has been recorded at its
discounted value of approximately $7 million.
On April 27, 2006, the Companys wholly-owned,
consolidated subsidiary Carplastic, S.A. de C.V. acquired all of
the real property, inventories, furniture, fixtures, tools, and
related equipment of Guide Lighting Technologies of Mexico S. de
R.L. de C.V., a lighting manufacturing facility located in
Monterrey, Mexico. In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business
Combinations, the Company allocated the purchase price to
the assets and liabilities acquired. The sum of the amounts
assigned to the assets and liabilities acquired exceeded the
cost of the acquired entity and that excess was allocated as a
pro rata reduction of the amounts that otherwise would have been
assigned to all of the acquired non-financial assets (i.e.
property and equipment). An excess of $8 million remained
after reducing to zero the amounts that otherwise would have
been assigned to the non-financial assets, and was recorded as
an extraordinary gain in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 7. Accounts
Receivable Transfers
European
Securitization
Effective August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a
European accounts receivable securitization facility
(European Securitization) that extends until August
2011 and provides up to $325 million in funding from the
sale of certain customer trade account receivables originating
from Company subsidiaries located in Germany, Portugal, Spain,
France and the U.K. (Sellers). Under the European
Securitization, receivables originated by the Sellers and
certain of their subsidiaries are transferred to Visteon
Financial Centre P.L.C. (the Transferor). The
Transferor is a bankruptcy-remote qualifying special purpose
entity. Receivables transferred from the Sellers are funded
through cash obtained from the issuance of variable loan notes
to third-party lenders and through subordinated loans obtained
from a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, representing the
Companys retained and beneficial interests in the
receivables transferred.
Transfers under the European Securitization, for which the
Company receives consideration other than a beneficial interest,
are accounted for as true sales under the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140
(SFAS 140), Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities and are removed from the balance sheet. The
Company recorded true sales of approximately $64 million at
a loss of approximately $1 million during the three-months
ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company has
approximately $21 million of retained amounts related to
these sales as of September 30, 2006. Transfers under the
European Securitization, for which the Company receives a
beneficial interest are not removed from the balance sheet and
total $281 million as of September 30, 2006. The
carrying value of the Companys retained and beneficial
interests in the receivables approximates fair value due to the
current nature of the maturities and are subordinated to the
interests of the third-party lenders.

NOTE 7. Accounts
Receivable Transfers (Continued)
Availability of funding under the European Securitization
depends primarily upon the amount of trade accounts receivables,
reduced by outstanding borrowings under the program and other
characteristics of those receivables that affect their
eligibility (such as bankruptcy or the grade of the obligor,
delinquency and excessive concentration). As of
September 30, 2006, approximately $112 million of the
Companys transferred receivables were considered eligible
for borrowing under this facility, $60 million was
outstanding and $24 million was available for funding.
The Sellers act as servicing agents and continue to service the
transferred receivables for which they receive a monthly
servicing fee based on the aggregate amount of the outstanding
purchased receivables. The Company is required to pay a monthly
fee to the lenders based on the unused portion of the European
Securitization.
Other
The Company has certain factoring agreements in place whereby
trade accounts receivable are sold to third-party financial
institutions without recourse. The Company sold 60 million
euro ($76 million), and 99 million euro
($117 million) under such agreements in Europe as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. Additionally, the Company sold 830 million
Japanese yen ($7 million) of trade receivables under such
agreements as of December 31, 2005.
The Company recognized losses of approximately $1 million
and $2 million for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, and less than
$1 million and approximately $1 million for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005,
respectively. Such losses represent the discount from book
values at which these receivables were sold to third parties.

Short and
Long-Term Debt
On August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a credit
agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide
for up to $350 million in secured revolving loans. The
Company borrowed $25 million upon closing which was used
for general corporate purposes. In addition, the Company had
$94 million of obligations under letters of credit that
reduced availability under the facility. The credit agreement
expires on August 14, 2011. In addition, as of
September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately
$565 million of available borrowings under other committed
and uncommitted facilities.

VISTEON CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 13. Debt (Continued)
The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by a
first-priority lien on certain assets of the Company and most of
its domestic subsidiaries, including real property, accounts
receivable, inventory, equipment and other tangible and
intangible property, including the capital stock of nearly all
direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than those
domestic subsidiaries the sole assets of which are capital stock
of foreign subsidiaries), as well as a second-priority lien on
substantially all other material tangible and intangible assets
of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries which
secure the Companys term loan agreement entered into on
June 13, 2006. The terms of the agreement limit the
obligations secured by certain U.S. assets to ensure compliance
with the Companys bond indenture. Borrowings under the
revolving credit facility bear interest based on a variable rate
interest option selected at the time of borrowing.
On June 13, 2006, the Company entered into a credit
agreement with a syndicate of third-party lenders to provide for
an $800 million seven-year secured term loan and used the
proceeds from that loan to repay borrowings and interest under
the $350 million
18-month
term loan, the $241 million five-year term loan, and
amounts outstanding under the five-year revolving credit
facility. Subsequent to closing on the new term loan, the
Company initiated open market purchases of its 8.25% notes due
2010. The Company purchased $150 million of the notes at an
all-in weighted cost of 94.16% of par, resulting in a gain on
early extinguishment of approximately $8 million.
The $800 million seven-year secured term loan is secured by
a first-priority lien on certain assets of the Company and most
of its domestic subsidiaries, including intellectual property,
intercompany debt, the capital stock of nearly all direct and
indirect subsidiaries (excluding Halla Climate Control) and 65%
of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries as well
as a second-priority lien on substantially all other tangible
and intangible assets of the Company and most of its domestic
subsidiaries. The terms of the facilities limit the obligations
secured by certain U.S. assets to ensure compliance with the
Companys bond indenture. Borrowings under the credit
facilities bear interest based on a variable rate interest
option selected at the time of borrowing and mature on
June 13, 2013.
Interest Rate
Swaps
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps for a portion
of the 8.25% notes due August 1, 2010
($125 million) and for a portion of the 7.00% notes due
March 10, 2014 ($225 million). These interest
rate swaps effectively convert the designated portions of these
notes from fixed interest rate to variable interest rate
instruments in connection with the Companys risk
management policies. The Companys
fixed-for-variable
interest rate swaps have been designated as fair value hedges
and the effect of marking these contracts to market has been
recorded in the Companys consolidated balance sheets as a
direct adjustment to the underlying debt. The adjustment does
not affect the results of operations unless the contract is
terminated, in which case the resulting gain or loss on
termination is recorded as a valuation adjustment of the
underlying debt and is amortized to interest expense over the
remaining life of the debt.

Retirement
Benefit Related Restructuring Expenses
In addition to retirement benefit expenses, the Company has
recorded certain retirement benefit-related restructuring
charges in connection with restructuring activities related to
the Companys three-year improvement plan. Such charges are
initially recorded as restructuring expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations and related liabilities are
subsequently reclassified to pension and OPEB liabilities.
Approximately $1 million was recorded for such retirement
benefit-related restructuring charges for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006.
During the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005, the Company recognized
$11 million of retirement benefit-related restructuring
charges which resulted from a curtailment loss associated with a
non-U.S. pension plan reflecting a reduction in expected future
years of service for plan participants expected to transfer
employment from a Company manufacturing facility to a Ford
facility. In addition, the Company recorded $4 million of
retirement benefit-related restructuring charges during the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 resulting
from a pension loss related to the continuation of the voluntary
termination incentive program in the U.S. and special
termination benefits related to certain non-U.S. pensions.

NOTE 14. Employee
Retirement Benefits (Continued)
Contributions
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006,
contributions to the Companys U.S. retirement plans and
postretirement health care and life insurance plans were
$51 million and $19 million, respectively, and
contributions to non-U.S. retirement plans were
$34 million. The Company presently anticipates additional
contributions to its U.S. retirement plans and
postretirement health care and life insurance plans of
$2 million and $12 million, respectively, in 2006
for a total of $53 million and $31 million,
respectively. The Company also anticipates additional 2006
contributions to non-U.S. retirement plans of $24 million
for a total of $58 million.
Curtailments
During the third quarter, approximately 200 hourly employees
were laid off at certain U.S. manufacturing facilities,
resulting in a reduction in expected future years of service in
the related retirement and postretirement health care plans. As
a result, the Company expects to recognize a net curtailment
gain of approximately $10 million in the fourth quarter
of 2006.
Postretirement
Benefit Related Relief
Effective January 1, 2006, Ford acquired two plants
from ACH, which are located in Rawsonville, Michigan and
Sterling Heights, Michigan. In connection with this transaction
and the Salaried Employee Transition Agreement between the
Company and Ford, certain salaried employees of the Company were
transferred to Ford who were eligible for benefits or had rights
to benefits under Fords postretirement health care and
life insurance plans. The Company reported in the consolidated
statements of operations as Cost of sales
approximately $24 million related to the relief of
postretirement benefits payable to Ford during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 and recorded
curtailment gains of approximately $48 million in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 related to
the reduction in expected future service in Visteon sponsored
postretirement health care and life insurance plans and
retirement plans.
NOTE 15. Income
Taxes
The Companys provision for income taxes in interim periods
is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate
against income (loss) before income taxes, excluding related
equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the
period. Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28,
Interim Financial Reporting, the Company is required
to adjust its effective tax rate each three-month period to be
consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. The
Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain
unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in
judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in
tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In
addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where
no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated
annual effective tax rate.

NOTE 15. Income
Taxes (Continued)
For both the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, income taxes included the
impact of maintaining a valuation allowance against the
Companys deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain
foreign countries. As a result, income tax benefits attributable
to pre-tax losses incurred in the affected jurisdictions were
not provided. The Company recorded a provision of
$10 million and $57 million for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006,
respectively, as compared with a provision of $21 million
and $41 million for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2005. The provisions for both the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006
reflect income tax expense related to those countries where the
Company is profitable and whose results continue to be
tax-effected, accrued withholding taxes, and certain
non-recurring
and other discrete tax items, including changes in other
comprehensive loss principally due to foreign currency exchange
rates.
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 Companys quarterly and annual
effective tax rates. Full valuation allowances against deferred
tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries, which
include the U.K. and Germany, will be maintained until
sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them.

Per Share
Basic loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing
reported net loss by the average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the applicable period, adjusted for
restricted stock. The calculation of diluted loss per share
takes into account the effect of dilutive potential common
stock, such as stock options, and contingently returnable
shares, such as restricted stock.

Stock options to purchase approximately 19 million shares
of common stock and warrants to purchase 25 million shares
of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted
loss per share because the effect of including them would have
been anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred during the periods.

NOTE 18. Commitments
and Contingencies
Guarantees
The Company has guaranteed approximately $99 million and
$136 million of debt capacity held by subsidiaries, and
$99 million and $84 million for lifetime lease
payments held by subsidiaries at September 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, respectively. In addition, the
Company has guaranteed certain Tier 2 suppliers debt
and lease obligations and other third-party service
providers obligations of up to $17 million at
September 30, 2006 and $20 million at
December 31, 2005, to ensure the continued supply of
essential parts.
Litigation and
Claims
In February 2005, a shareholder lawsuit was filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan against the Company and certain current and former
officers of the Company. In July 2005, the Public
Employees Retirement System of Mississippi was appointed
as lead plaintiff in this matter. In September 2005, the
lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which alleges, among
other things, that the Company and its independent registered
public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, made
misleading statements of material fact or omitted to state
material facts necessary in order to make the statements made,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The named plaintiff seeks to represent a class
consisting of purchasers of the Companys securities during
the period between June 28, 2000 and
January 31, 2005. Class action status has not yet been
certified in this litigation. On August 31, 2006, the
defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure
to state a claim was granted. The plaintiffs have appealed this
decision.
In March 2005, a number of current and former directors and
officers were named as defendants in two shareholder derivative
suits pending in the State of Michigan Circuit Court
for the County of Wayne. As is customary in derivative
suits, the Company has been named as a defendant in these
actions. As a nominal defendant, the Company is not liable for
any damages in these suits nor is any specific relief sought
against the Company. The complaints allege that, among other
things, the individual defendants breached their fiduciary
duties of good faith and loyalty and aided and abetted such
breaches during the period between January 23, 2004
and January 31, 2005 in connection with the
Companys conduct concerning, among other things, the
matters alleged in the securities class action discussed
immediately above. The derivative matters have been stayed
pending resolution of defendants motion to dismiss the
securities matter pending in the Eastern District of
Michigan and any related appeal.
In March and April 2005, the Company and a number of
current and former employees, officers and directors were named
as defendants in three class action lawsuits brought under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District
of Michigan. In September 2005, the plaintiffs filed an
amended and consolidated complaint, which generally alleges that
the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA
during the class period by, among other things, continuing to
offer Visteon stock as an investment alternative under the
Visteon Investment Plan (and the Visteon Savings Plan
for Hourly Employees, together the Plans), failing
to disclose complete and accurate information regarding the
prudence of investing in Visteon stock, failing to monitor
the actions of certain of the defendants, and failing to avoid
conflicts of interest or promptly resolve them. These ERISA
claims are predicated upon factual allegations similar to those
raised in the derivative and securities class actions described
immediately above. The consolidated complaint was brought on
behalf of a named plaintiff and a putative class consisting of
all participants or beneficiaries of the Plans whose accounts
included Visteon stock at any time from July 20, 2001
through May 25, 2005. In November 2005, the
defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint
on various grounds. Settlement negotiations are currently
on-going in this matter.
30
VISTEON CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 18. Commitments
and Contingencies (Continued)
In June 2006, the Company and Ford Motor Company
were named as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit
brought under ERISA in the
United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan on behalf of certain former salaried
employees of the Company associated with two plants located in
Michigan. The complaint alleges that the Company and Ford
violated their fiduciary duties under ERISA when they
established and spun off the Company and allocated certain
pension liabilities between them, and later when they
transferred the subject employees to Ford as new hires
in 2006 after Ford acquired the plants. In
August 2006, the Company and Ford moved to dismiss the
complaint for failure to state a claim, which are currently
pending.
The Company and its current and former directors and officers
intend to contest the foregoing lawsuits vigorously. However, at
this time the Company is not able to predict with certainty the
final outcome of each of the foregoing lawsuits or its potential
exposure with respect to each such lawsuit. In the event of an
unfavorable resolution of any of these matters, the
Companys earnings and cash flows in one or more periods
could be materially affected to the extent any such loss is not
covered by insurance or applicable reserves.
Product Warranty
and Recall
Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are based
on managements best estimates of the amounts that will
ultimately be required to settle such items. The Companys
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
product warranty and recall liability for the
nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

Environmental
Matters
The Company is subject to the requirements of federal, state,
local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and
health laws and regulations. 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 it
presently owns or operates and at third-party disposal or
treatment facilities to which these sites send or arranged to
send hazardous waste.
31
VISTEON CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 18. Commitments
and Contingencies (Continued)
The Company is aware of contamination at some of its properties
and relating to various third-party superfund sites at which the
Company or its predecessor has been named as a potentially
responsible party. The Company is in various stages of
investigation and cleanup at these sites and at
September 30, 2006, has recorded a reserve of
approximately $8 million for these activities. However,
estimating liabilities for environmental investigation and
cleanup is complex and dependent upon a number of factors beyond
the Companys control which may change dramatically.
Although the Company believes its reserve is adequate based on
current information, the Company cannot provide assurance that
the eventual environmental investigation, cleanup costs and
related liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current
reserve.
Other Contingent
Matters
In addition to the matters discussed above, various other 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 Companys products, governmental regulations
relating to safety, employment-related matters, customer,
supplier and other contractual relationships, and intellectual
property rights. Some of the foregoing matters may involve
compensatory, punitive or antitrust or other treble damage
claims in very large amounts, or demands for equitable relief,
sanctions, or other relief.
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 where losses are deemed probable and reasonably
estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters
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
September 30, 2006 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 Companys financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible.
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.
NOTE 19. Segment
Information
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131
(SFAS 131), Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information, requires the
Company to disclose certain financial and descriptive
information about certain segments of its business. 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.
In late 2005 the Company announced a new operating structure to
manage the business on a go-forward basis, post the ACH
Transactions. During the three-month period ended
March 31, 2006 the Company completed the realignment
of its information systems and reporting structures to
facilitate financial reporting for the new operating structure.
Accordingly, segment disclosures have been updated to reflect
the current operating structure and comparable prior period
segment data has been revised.

NOTE 19. Segment
Information (Continued)
The Companys revised operating structure is comprised of
the following: Climate, Electronics, Interiors and Other. These
global product groups have financial and operating
responsibility over the design, development and manufacture of
the Companys product portfolio. Within each of the global
product groups, certain facilities manufacture a broader range
of the Companys total product line offering and are not
limited to the primary product line. Regional customer groups
are responsible for the marketing, sales and service of the
Companys product portfolio to its customer base. Certain
functions such as procurement, information technology and other
administrative activities are managed on a global basis with
regional deployment. In addition to these global product groups,
the Company also operates Visteon Services, a centralized
administrative function to monitor and facilitate transactions
with ACH for the costs of leased employees and other services
provided to ACH by the Company.
The Companys chief operating decision making group,
comprised of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO),
Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO), evaluates the performance of the
Companys segments primarily based on net sales, before
elimination of inter-company shipments, gross margin and
operating assets. Gross margin is defined as total sales less
costs to manufacture and product development and engineering
expenses. Operating assets include inventories and property and
equipment utilized in the manufacture of the segments
products.

Executive
Summary
Business
Overview
Visteon Corporation is a leading global supplier of
climate, interiors, electronics and other automotive systems,
modules and components to vehicle manufacturers as well as the
automotive aftermarket. The Company sells to the worlds
largest vehicle manufacturers including BMW, DaimlerChrysler,
Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai / Kia, Nissan, Peugeot,
Renault-Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen.
The Company has a broad network of manufacturing, technical
engineering and joint venture operations throughout the world,
supported by approximately 46,000 employees dedicated to the
design, development, manufacture and support of its product
offering and its global customers, and conducts its business
across five segments: Climate, Interiors, Electronics, Other and
Services.
Visteon has embarked upon a multi-phase, multi-year plan to
focus its business, improve its operating position and
competitive profile and to ultimately achieve sustainable
profitability. A significant milestone in this long-term plan
was the successful completion of the ACH Transactions with Ford
on October 1, 2005. Although the ACH Transactions
resulted in a significant reduction in the Companys total
sales (the business constituted approximately $6 billion in
2005 sales through the date of the transaction), this business
was loss making and the Companys ability to improve
profitability was significantly restricted given the inflexible
operating arrangements. Further, pursuant to this transaction,
the Company transferred all master
Ford-UAW
employees to ACH including full relief of approximately
$2.2 billion of related postretirement employee obligations
and received cash funding for future restructuring actions with
the establishment of a $400 million escrow account funded
by Ford under the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
In January 2006, the Company announced a
three-year
improvement plan designed to further restructure the business
and improve profitability. This improvement plan identified
certain underperforming and
non-strategic
facilities that require significant restructuring or potential
sale or exit, as well as other infrastructure and cost reduction
initiatives. This program is expected to have a cumulative cash
cost of approximately $400 million, of which
$300 million is expected to be reimbursed from the escrow
account. The Company expects to record restructuring charges,
and related reimbursement from the escrow account as available,
as elements of the plan are finalized.
Highlights for
the Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2006
Financial highlights for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2006 include:
|
|
|
Net product sales were $2.5 billion, of which non-Ford
customers accounted for $1.4 billion.
|
|
Gross margin of $47 million, down from $100 million in
2005.
|
|
Selling, general and administrative expenses of
$177 million, lower than 2005 by $62 million.
|
|
Net loss of $177 million or $(1.38) per basic and diluted
share.
|

The automotive industry remains challenging in North America and
Europe, with continued market share pressures concentrated with
U.S. vehicle manufacturers. While the ACH Transactions
significantly reduced the Companys exposure to Fords
North America vehicle production, Ford remains an important
customer, constituting 44% of the Companys product sales.
Ford North America production volumes decreased
year-over-year,
which was partially offset by an increase in Ford Europe
production volume. Further, the Company has significant content
on certain key Nissan vehicles produced for the North American
market and PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault-Nissan vehicles
produced for the European market which posted
year-over-year
production declines. The Companys net product sales and
gross margin for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2006 were pressured by these vehicle
production declines, unfavorable vehicle mix, a weakening
aftermarket business in North America and deteriorating
performance of certain Western European manufacturing facilities
comprehended by the Companys three-year improvement plan.
These pressures were partially offset by net sales increases
associated with new business launches and continued growth in
the Companys Asia Pacific operations.
Ford has recently announced further
year-over-year
reductions in North America vehicle production for the remainder
of 2006 and into the first part of 2007. Continued declines in
Fords vehicle production could materially affect the
Companys operating results and the Company continues to
work with other vehicle manufacturers to further its sales
growth and diversification. During the
three-month
period ended September 30, 2006, the Company was
awarded new forward year programs across all of its product
groups by other vehicle manufacturers as well as Ford. These new
programs, as well as awards during the first half of 2006, will
further diversify the Companys sales base in future years.
During the three-month period ended
September 30, 2006, the Company recorded
$14 million of restructuring charges associated with its
three-year improvement plan for severance and related benefits
associated with manufacturing facility actions in the U.S.,
Mexico and Europe. These restructuring charges were offset by an
equal amount of reimbursement from the escrow account. As part
of the three-year improvement plan, the Company originally
identified 23 facilities that were targeted for closure,
divestiture or actions to improve profitability. During 2006,
the Company has commenced restructuring actions under this plan
and, to date, has substantially completed actions at seven
facilities. The Company continues to pursue alternatives to
address or exit certain facilities in Western Europe, including
the possibility of divestitures or renegotiated labor
arrangements. However, there is no assurance that a transaction
or other arrangement will occur in the near term or at all. The
Companys ultimate course of action for these facilities
will be dependent upon that which provides the greatest return
to shareholders.
In light of current and expected near-term vehicle production
levels by the Companys key customers, on
October 31, 2006 the Company announced a plan to
reduce its salaried workforce by 900 people. The Company
expects to record a charge of up to $65 million in the
fourth quarter of 2006 for severance and related termination
benefits, offset by an equivalent amount of recovery from the
escrow account. The Company anticipates that this action, once
fully completed, will yield annual savings of approximately
$75 million.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, the
Company entered into a credit agreement to provide for up to
$350 million in secured revolving loans and a European
accounts receivable securitization facility to provide up to
$325 million in funding principally from the sale of
certain customer receivable balances, both of which expire in
2011. These facilities replaced the $500 million five year
revolving credit facility due to expire in 2007.
The Company continues to execute its long-term improvement
program however, there are a number of challenges that may
negatively affect the Companys future financial results,
including customer production volumes, pricing pressures, labor
disruptions and raw material costs. In connection with the
long-term improvement program, the Company continues to assess
the recoverability of its long-lived assets which may result in
future impairment charges. The Company cannot provide assurances
that the results of its actions will fully mitigate the
potential impact of continued negative industry trends.

Results of
Operations
Organization and
Operating Structure
In late 2005 the Company announced a new operating structure to
manage the business on a go-forward basis, post the ACH
Transactions. During the three-month period ended March 31,
2006, the Company completed the accompanying realignment of
information systems and reporting structures to facilitate
financial reporting under the revised organizational structure.
Accordingly, segment disclosures have been updated to reflect
the revised operating structure and comparable prior period
segment data has been revised. The Companys revised
operating structure is comprised of the following: Climate,
Electronics, Interiors, Services and Other. The Companys
segments are disclosed in Note 19 Segment
Information to the consolidated financial statements.

Net
Sales
The Companys net sales were $2.6 billion in the
three-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$4.1 billion in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of
$1.5 billion or 37%. The ACH Transactions resulted in a
decrease of $1.8 billion, which was partially offset by
services revenues of $133 million. Excluding the ACH
Transactions and related eliminations and revenue from services
provided to ACH, product sales increased by $66 million.
Currency accounted for $90 million of the
year-over-year
increase. Sales were also higher in the Asia Pacific region
despite work stoppages at Hyundai/Kia during the quarter. The
increase in Asia Pacific sales reflected new business launched
during the year and higher
pass-through
sales at a consolidated joint venture. The impact of currency
and the increase in Asia Pacific sales were partially offset by
lower sales in North America reflecting decreased Ford North
America vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix,
as well as lower non-Ford vehicle production, principally Nissan
products.
Net sales for Climate were $691 million in the
three-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$627 million in the
three-month
period ended September 30, 2005, representing an
increase of $64 million or 10%. Continued growth in the
Companys Asia Pacific consolidated subsidiaries increased
net sales by $62 million, including favorable currency of
$17 million. This growth was primarily driven by new
business, partially offset by customer price reductions. Net
sales in North America were $22 million lower
year-over-year
reflecting lower Ford North America vehicle production volume.
Net sales in Europe were $24 million higher
year-over-year
reflecting higher Ford Europe vehicle production volume and
favorable currency of $7 million.
38
Net sales for Electronics were $685 million in the
three-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$705 million in the
three-month
period ended September 30, 2005, representing a
decrease of $20 million or 3%. Vehicle production volume
and mix decreased net sales by $45 million, primarily
attributable to lower Ford and Nissan vehicle production volume,
unfavorable product mix in North America and lower sales in Asia
Pacific. These negative factors were partially offset by higher
Ford Europe vehicle production volume. Customer price reductions
were more than offset by price increases resulting from material
commodity recoveries and product design actions. Favorable
currency of $23 million, primarily in Europe, increased
sales
year-over-year.
Net sales for Interiors were $631 million in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$630 million in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005. Vehicle production volume and product
mix decreased net sales by $27 million. Lower Ford and
Nissan vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix in
North America of $55 million and lower vehicle production
by certain Europe OEMs of $28 million were partially
offset by increased sales in the Asia Pacific region of
$56 million. The increase in Asia Pacific sales were
primarily attributable to increased pass-through sales at a
consolidated joint venture. Customer price reductions were more
than offset by price increases resulting from raw material cost
recoveries and product design actions. Favorable currency of
$21 million in Europe and Asia Pacific increased sales
year-over-year.
Net sales for Other were $627 million in the three-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$606 million in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing an increase of
$21 million or 3%. Favorable currency contributed
$22 million in the increase in net sales. Vehicle
production volume and product mix decreased net sales by
$8 million, primarily attributable to lower North America
aftermarket and non-Ford Europe sales partially offset by
increased South America sales. Customer price reductions were
more than offset by price increases resulting from raw material
cost recoveries and product design actions.
Services revenues were $133 million in the three-month
period ended September 30, 2006, related to information
technology, engineering, administrative and other business
support services provided by the Company approximating cost,
under the terms of various agreements with ACH.
Gross
Margin
The Companys gross margin was $47 million in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$100 million in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of
$53 million or 53%. The decrease in gross margin is
primarily explained by unfavorable vehicle volumes and mix of
$43 million, unfavorable operating performance associated
with the volume declines and deteriorating operating performance
of certain Western European manufacturing facilities
comprehended by the Companys three-year improvement plan.
In addition, the nonrecurrence of favorable commodity hedges in
2005 and an arbitration settlement of $9 million in 2006
contributed to the decrease in gross margin. These factors were
partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense
of $21 million primarily reflecting the impact of the 2005
asset impairments, material and manufacturing efficiencies, and
the impact of the ACH Transactions of $11 million.
Gross margin for Climate was $9 million in the three-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$20 million in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of
$11 million or 55%. Vehicle volume and mix increased gross
margin $12 million, primarily attributable to continued
growth of the Companys Asia Pacific consolidated
subsidiaries. Material and manufacturing cost reduction
activities, lower depreciation and amortization expense
reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and lower
OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $14 million. This
performance was more than offset by net customer price
reductions and increases in raw material costs, principally
aluminum, of $31 million. Unfavorable currency reduced
gross margin by $5 million.
39
Gross margin for Electronics was $41 million in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$79 million in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of
$38 million or 48%. Lower vehicle production and
unfavorable product mix reduced gross margin by
$35 million, primarily attributable to lower Ford and
non-Ford volumes in North America. Material and manufacturing
cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and amortization
expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and
lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $10 million.
This performance was offset by net customer price reductions and
increases in raw material costs of $6 million. Unfavorable
currency reduced gross margin by $7 million.
Gross margin for Interiors was $(14) million in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2006, equal to the
amount in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005.
Lower vehicle production and unfavorable product mix reduced
gross margin by $9 million, primarily attributable to lower
Ford and Nissan production in North America. Material and
manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and
amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset
impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by
$7 million. Additionally, price increases for raw material
cost recoveries and product design actions more than offset
customer price reductions and raw material cost increases,
increasing gross margin by $4. Unfavorable currency reduced
gross margin by $2 million.
Gross margin for Other was $9 million in the three-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$26 million in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of
$17 million or 65%. Lower vehicle production and
unfavorable product mix reduced gross margin by
$11 million, with North America, Europe, and Aftermarket
volumes all contributing to the reduction. Material and
manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and
amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset
impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by
$1 million, despite the unfavorable operating performance
at certain Western Europe manufacturing facilities. This
performance was partially offset by net customer price
reductions and increases in raw material costs of
$1 million and an arbitration settlement of
$9 million, net of reserves. Favorable currency increased
gross margin $2 million.
Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$177 million in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2006, compared with $239 million in
the three-month period ended September 30, 2005,
representing a decrease of $62 million or 26%. Under the
terms of various agreements between the Company and ACH,
expenses previously classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses incurred to support the business of ACH
are now classified as Cost of sales in the
consolidated statements of operations, comprising
$59 million of the decrease. Fees associated with the
closing of the European securitization facility were charged to
expense in the quarter and resulted in an increase of
$9 million. Expenses related to the Companys
stock-based compensation and annual employee incentive programs,
reflecting the Companys progress towards established 2006
financial objectives, decreased $6 million during the
three-month period ended September 30, 2006 as
compared to 2005. Furthermore, selling, general, and
administrative expenses were favorably impacted by lower OPEB
and pension expenses and net cost efficiencies, partially offset
by unfavorable currency of $3 million.
Interest
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2006
net interest expense of $40 million was $2 million
higher than the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily
attributable to higher average interest rates on outstanding
debt of $4 million and higher average debt levels of
$1 million offset by lower corporate bank line fees of
$3 million.
40
Restructuring
Activities
On January 11, 2006, the Company announced a
three-year improvement plan that involves certain
underperforming and non-strategic plants and businesses and is
designed to improve operating performance and achieve cost
reductions. Activities associated with this plan are expected to
affect up to 23 facilities with costs expected to include
employee severance and termination benefit costs, contract
termination costs, and production transfer costs.
The Company currently estimates that the total cash cost
associated with this three-year improvement plan will be
approximately $400 million, which is significantly lower
than the initially estimated amount of $550 million. The
Company continues to achieve targeted cost reductions associated
with the three-year improvement plan at a lower cost than
expected due to higher levels of employee attrition and lower
per employee severance cost resulting from changes to certain
employee benefit plans during 2006. The Company anticipates that
approximately $300 million of cash costs incurred under the
three-year improvement plan will be reimbursed from the escrow
account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
Generally, charges are recorded as elements of the plan are
finalized and the timing of activities and the amount of related
costs are not likely to change.
The Company has incurred $72 million in cumulative
restructuring costs related to the three-year improvement plan
including $35 million, $18 million, $13 million
and $6 million for the Other, Electronics, Interiors and
Climate product groups respectively. Substantially all
restructuring expenses recorded to date relate to employee
severance and termination benefit costs and are aggregated as
Restructuring expenses on the consolidated
statements of operations.
On October 31, 2006 the Company announced a plan to
reduce its salaried workforce by approximately 900 people in
response to significant reductions in vehicle production by a
number of the Companys customers. The Company expects to
record a charge of up to $65 million in the fourth quarter
of 2006, offset by an equivalent amount of recovery from the
escrow account. The Company anticipates that this action will
generate up to $75 million of annual savings when completed.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 the
Company recorded $14 million of severance and other
restructuring costs related to its three-year improvement plan.
The most significant of the 2006 costs include the following:
|
|
|
Approximately $6 million of severance and termination
benefit costs for approximately 1,000 employees related to
a restructuring initiative at a North American Electronics
manufacturing facility.
|
|
|
Approximately $5 million related to the announced closure
of a North American Interiors manufacturing facility, comprised
of approximately $4 million for a early termination lease
penalty and approximately $1 million for severance for
265 hourly and 26 salaried employees.
|
|
|
Approximately $2 million of severance and termination
benefit costs for 21 hourly employees related to the exit
of certain assembly operations at a European Interiors
manufacturing facility.
|
During the same period of 2005, restructuring expenses were
comprised of an $11 million pension curtailment charge
relating to a European workforce reduction plan.
The Company continues to evaluate alternatives for certain
Western European manufacturing facilities comprehended by the
three-year improvement plan, including potential divestitures,
which may result in significant gains or losses. The Company
cannot predict the timing or range of such amounts, if any,
which may result.
41
Income
Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $10 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared
with a provision of $21 million in the same period in 2005.
Income taxes during the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005 included the impact of
maintaining a valuation allowance against the Companys
deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign countries.
As a result, income tax benefits attributable to pre-tax losses
incurred in the affected jurisdictions were not provided. The
provisions for both of the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005 reflect income tax expense
related to those countries where the Company is profitable and
whose results continue to be tax-effected, accrued withholding
taxes, and certain non-recurring and other discrete tax items.
Non-recurring and other discrete items recorded in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2006 included a
$4 million provision for an increase to income tax audit
reserves and exchange rate impacts on centrally held tax
liabilities. The reduction in tax expense for the three month
period ending September 30, 2006 compared to the same
period in 2005 is primarily a result of a $15 million
allocation of tax benefits to continuing operations, as it
relates to gains recorded in other comprehensive loss.
The Company is currently progressing toward a restructuring of
its legal entities in Europe, the final form of which is
expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2006. The
impact of this restructuring is expected to result in a
reduction to the tax cost of remitting earnings or cash from
Europe and therefore, will likely result in a reduction to
previously established tax liabilities when the structure is
implemented and implications are quantified. The Company may
also undertake a similar restructuring of its operations in Asia.

Net
Sales
The Companys net sales were $8.6 billion in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared
with $14.1 billion for the same period of 2005,
representing a decrease of $5.5 billion or 39%. The ACH
Transactions resulted in a decrease of $6.1 billion, which
was offset partially by services revenues of $416 million.
Excluding the ACH Transactions and related eliminations and
revenue from services provided to ACH, product sales decreased
by $173 million. Sales were significantly lower in North
America reflecting decreased Ford vehicle production volume and
unfavorable product mix, and lower non-Ford vehicle production,
principally Nissan products, and lower aftermarket sales. This
decrease was partially offset by increases in the Europe and
Asia Pacific regions, reflecting higher Ford Europe volumes, new
business launched during the year, and higher pass-through sales
at a consolidated joint venture. Favorable currency increased
net sales by $38 million.
Net sales for Climate were $2.3 billion in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$2.1 billion in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing an increase of
$177 million or 8%. Continued growth in the Companys
Asia Pacific consolidated subsidiaries increased net sales by
$257 million. This growth was primarily driven by new
business, and included favorable currency of $37 million
partially offset by customer price reductions. Net sales in the
North America region were $71 million lower
year-over-year.
This decrease reflects lower Ford North America vehicle
production volume and unfavorable product mix partially offset
by the launch of a new manufacturing facility in Alabama. Net
sales in Europe were $26 million higher
year-over-year
reflecting higher Ford Europe vehicle production volume
partially offset by unfavorable currency of $14 million.
Net sales for Electronics were $2.3 billion in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared
with $2.5 billion in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of
$156 million or 6%. Vehicle volume and mix decreased net
sales by $103 million, attributable to lower Ford and
Nissan vehicle production volume and adverse product mix in
North America and lower sales in Asia Pacific. This reduction
was partially offset by higher Ford Europe vehicle production
volume. Net customer price reductions decreased sales
year-over-year
and currency was unfavorable $39 million, primarily in
Europe.
Net sales for Interiors were $2.1 billion in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$2.3 billion in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of
$231 million or 10%. Vehicle production volume and mix
decreased net sales by $216 million, attributable to lower
Ford and Nissan vehicle production volume and unfavorable
product mix in North America, and lower non-Ford vehicle
production volume in Europe. This reduction was partially offset
by higher Asia Pacific net sales, primarily due to higher
pass-through sales at a consolidated joint venture. Net customer
price decreases were more than offset by price increases
resulting from raw material cost recoveries and product design
actions. Currency was unfavorable $34 million, primarily in
Europe.
Net sales for Other were $1.9 billion in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$1.9 billion in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005. Vehicle production volume and
product mix increased net sales by $13 million. Increased
production in the Asia Pacific and South America regions was
partially offset by lower North America aftermarket sales. Net
customer price decreases were more than offset by price
increases resulting from raw material cost recoveries and
product design actions. Currency was favorable $10 million,
reflecting favorable currency movement in South America
partially offset by Europe.
Services revenues were $416 million in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, related to
information technology, engineering, administrative and other
business support services provided by the Company approximating
cost, under the terms of various agreements to ACH.
43
Gross
Margin
The Companys gross margin was $602 million in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared
with $490 million in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing an increase of
$112 million or 23%. The increase in gross margin is
primarily attributable to the assumption by Ford of OPEB and
pension liabilities of $72 million related to the transfer
of certain Visteon salaried employees supporting two ACH
manufacturing facilities that were transferred to Ford in
January 2006, lower depreciation and amortization expense of
$60 million primarily reflecting the impact of the 2005
asset impairments, the benefit of the ACH Transactions of
$42 million, and improved operating performance, partially
offset by unfavorable vehicle production and mix of
$103 million, unfavorable currency of $26 million, and
a one time arbitration settlement of $9 million net of
reserves.
Gross margin for Climate was $128 million in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$151 million in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of
$23 million or 15%. Although net sales increased during the
period, unfavorable customer and product mix resulted in a
decrease in gross margin of $2 million. Material and
manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and
amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset
impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by
$58 million. This performance was offset by net customer
price reductions and increases in raw material costs,
principally aluminum, of $72 million. Unfavorable currency
reduced gross margin by $8 million.
Gross margin for Electronics was $252 million in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared
with $274 million in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing an increase of
$22 million or 8%. Vehicle production and product mix was
unfavorable $88 million primarily in the North America
and Europe regions. Material and manufacturing cost reduction
activities, lower depreciation and amortization expense
reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and lower
OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $111 million. This
performance was partially offset by net customer price
reductions and increases in raw material costs of
$30 million. Unfavorable currency reduced gross margin by
$14 million.
Gross margin for Interiors was $28 million in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared
with $5 million in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing an increase of
$23 million. Vehicle volume and product mix was unfavorable
$21 million, primarily in the Europe region. Material and
manufacturing cost reduction activities lower depreciation and
amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset
impairments and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin
$43 million. Favorable net customer pricing and settlements
of $14 million were partially offset by increases in raw
material costs of $7 million and unfavorable currency of
$6 million.
Gross margin for Other was $118 million in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with
$102 million in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, representing an increase of
$16 million or 16%. Vehicle production and product mix was
favorable by $8 million. Material and manufacturing cost
reduction activities, including negotiated labor concessions in
Germany, lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting
the impact of the 2005 asset impairments and lower OPEB expenses
increased gross margin by $17 million. This performance was
offset partially by increases in raw material costs and net
customer price reductions of $2 million, and an arbitration
settlement of $9 million, net of reserves. Favorable
currency increased gross margin by $2 million.
44
Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$539 million in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006, compared with $763 million in
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005,
representing a decrease of $224 million or 29%. Under the
terms of various agreements between the Company and ACH,
expenses previously classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses incurred to support the business of ACH
are now classified as Cost of sales in the
consolidated statements of operations, comprising
$175 million of the decrease. Bad debt expense improved by
$18 million reflecting the bankruptcy of a significant
customer in the second quarter of 2005. Expenses related to the
Companys stock-based compensation and annual employee
incentive programs, reflecting changes in the Companys
stock price and progress towards established 2006 financial
objectives, increased $4 million during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005.
OPEB and pension expenses, net cost efficiencies, and currency
comprised the remainder of lower selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Interest
The nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 net
interest expense of $117 million was $19 million
higher than the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005.
The increase was primarily attributable to higher average
interest rates on outstanding debt of $27 million and
recognition of unamortized debt issuance costs relating to
credit facilities terminated in June 2006 of $5 million,
partially offset by a gain on debt extinguishment of
$8 million and an increase in interest income of
$5 million.
Asset
Impairments
The Company recorded asset impairments of $22 million
during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006. In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and in
connection with restructuring activities undertaken at a
European Interiors facility, the Company recorded an asset
impairment of $10 million to reduce the net book value of
certain long-lived assets to their estimated fair value.
Additionally, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for
Investments in Common Stock, the Company determined that
an other than temporary decline in the fair market
value of an investment in a joint venture in Mexico occurred.
Consequently, the Company reduced the carrying value of its
investment by approximately $12 million to its estimated
fair market value at June 30, 2006.
On May 24, 2005, the Company and Ford entered into a
non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU),
setting forth a framework for the transfer of
23 North American facilities and related assets and
liabilities (the Business) to a Ford-controlled
entity. In September 2005, the Company and Ford entered
into several definitive agreements and the Company completed the
transfer of the Business to Automotive Component Holdings, LLC
(ACH), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
Following the signing of the MOU and at June 30, 2005,
the Company classified the manufacturing facilities and
associated assets, including inventory, machinery, equipment and
tooling to be sold as held for sale. The liabilities
to be assumed or forgiven by Ford pursuant to the ACH
Transactions, including employee liabilities and postretirement
employee benefits payable to Ford were classified as
liabilities associated with assets held for sale in
the Companys consolidated balance sheet following the
signing of the MOU. SFAS 144 requires long-lived assets
that are considered held for sale to be measured at
the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to
sell and future depreciation of such assets is ceased. During
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, the
Companys Automotive Operations segment recorded a non-cash
impairment charge of $920 million to write-down those
assets considered held for sale to their aggregate
estimated fair value less cost to sell.
45
Additionally, during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, the Automotive Operations segment
recorded an impairment charge of $256 million to reduce the
net book value of certain long-lived assets considered to be
held for use to their estimated fair value. The
impairment assessment was performed pursuant to impairment
indicators including lower than anticipated current and near
term future production volumes and the related impact on the
Companys projected operating results and cash flows.
Restructuring
Activities
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006,
the Company recorded $35 million of severance and other
restructuring costs compared with $18 million for the same
period in 2005.
Significant actions in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006 include:
|
|
|
Approximately $6 million of severance and termination
benefit costs for approximately 1,000 employees related to
a restructuring initiative at a North American Electronics
manufacturing facility.
|
|
|
Approximately $5 million related to the announced closure
of a North American Interiors manufacturing facility, comprised
of approximately $4 million for a early termination lease
penalty and approximately $1 million for severance for
265 hourly and 26 salaried employees.
|
|
|
Approximately $2 million of severance and termination
benefit costs for 21 hourly employees related to the exit
of certain assembly operations at a European Interiors
manufacturing facility.
|
|
|
Approximately $6 million related to workforce reduction
activities in Electronics manufacturing facilities in Mexico and
Portugal for employee severance and termination benefit costs
for approximately 500 hourly and 50 salaried employees.
|
|
|
Approximately $6 million related to the announced closure
of a European Interiors manufacturing facility for employee
severance and termination benefits costs for approximately
150 hourly and salaried employees.
|
|
|
Approximately $3 million related to a Climate manufacturing
facility in Mexico for employee severance and termination
benefit costs associated with approximately 350 hourly and
salaried employees.
|
The Company continues to evaluate alternatives under the
three-year improvement plan, including divestitures, which may
result in significant gains or losses.
Income
Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $57 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared
with $41 million in the same period in 2005. Income taxes
during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006
and 2005 included the impact of maintaining a valuation
allowance against the Companys deferred tax assets in the
U.S. and certain foreign countries. As a result, income tax
benefits attributable to pre-tax losses incurred in the affected
jurisdictions were not provided. The provisions for both the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, reflect primarily income tax expense related to
those countries where the Company is profitable and whose
results continue to be tax-effected, accrued withholding taxes,
and certain non-recurring and other discrete tax items.
Non-recurring and other discrete items recorded in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 included a
$14 million benefit to restore net deferred tax assets
associated with the Companys operations in Brazil.
Non-recurring and other discrete tax items recorded in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 resulted in
a net benefit of $37 million, including a net benefit
related to adjustments to the Companys income tax
reserves, and benefits related to a change in the estimated
benefit associated with tax losses in Canada and the favorable
resolution of tax matters in Mexico.
46
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
Overview
The Companys cash and liquidity needs are impacted by the
level, variability, and timing of its customers worldwide
vehicle production, which varies based on economic conditions
and market shares in major markets. The Companys
intra-year needs are impacted by seasonal effects in the
industry, such as the shutdown of operations in July and August,
the subsequent ramp-up of new model production and the
additional one-week shutdown in December by its primary
customers. These seasonal effects normally require use of
liquidity resources during the three-month period ended
March 31 and the three-month period ended
September 30. Further, as the Companys operating
profitability has become more concentrated with its foreign
subsidiaries and joint ventures, the Companys cash
balances located outside the U.S. continue to increase. As of
September 30, 2006 approximately 80% of the
Companys cash balance is located in jurisdictions outside
of the U.S. as compared to approximately 60% at
December 31, 2005. The Companys ability to
efficiently access cash balances in certain foreign
jurisdictions is subject to local regulatory, statutory and
contractual requirements.
Credit
Ratings
Moodys current corporate rating of the Company is B2 and
SGL rating is 3. The rating on senior unsecured debt is Caa1
with a negative outlook. On October 4, 2006
Moodys placed the ratings under review for possible
downgrade. On October 31, 2006, S&P lowered the
current corporate rating of the Company to B and the
Companys short term liquidity to B-3 and maintained the
negative outlook on the rating. Fitchs current rating on
the Companys senior secured debt is B with a negative
outlook.
Any further downgrade in the Companys credit ratings could
reduce its access to capital, increase the costs of future
borrowings, and increase the possibility of more restrictive
terms and conditions contained in any new or replacement
financing arrangements or commercial agreements or payment terms
with suppliers.
European
Securitization
The Company entered into a European accounts receivable
securitization facility (European Securitization) in
August 2006 that extends until August 2011 and provides up to
$325 million in funding principally from the sale of
certain customer trade account receivables originating from
Company subsidiaries located in Germany, Portugal, Spain, France
and the U.K.
Availability of funding under the European Securitization
depends primarily upon the amount of trade accounts receivables,
reduced by outstanding borrowings under the program and other
characteristics of those receivables that affect their
eligibility (such as bankruptcy or the grade of the obligor,
delinquency and excessive concentration). As of
September 30, 2006, approximately $112 million of
the Companys transferred receivable balance was considered
eligible for borrowings under this facility, $60 million
was outstanding and $24 million was available for funding.
The facility allows, and management intends, to add more
countries and receivables to the program, which is expected to
increase future availability levels in excess of
$200 million.
Debt
On June 13, 2006, the Company entered into a credit
agreement ( the term loan credit agreement) for a
$800 million seven-year secured term loan. The Company
borrowed the full $800 million upon closing and repaid
approximately $650 million of existing borrowings and
accrued interest on outstanding credit facilities. This
borrowing bears interest at a LIBOR plus 3% and matures on
June 13, 2013. Subsequent to closing on the seven-year term
loan, the Company initiated open market purchases of its 8.25%
interest bearing notes due August 1, 2010. The Company
purchased $150 million of these notes at an all-in weighted
cost of 94.16% of par, resulting in a gain on early
extinguishment of approximately $8 million during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
47
On August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a credit
agreement (the ABL credit agreement) with a
syndicate of financial institutions, to provide for up to
$350 million in secured revolving loans. The Company
borrowed $25 million upon closing which was used for
general corporate purposes. In addition, the Company had
$94 million of obligations under letters of credit that
reduced availability under the facility. The credit agreement
expires on August 14, 2011. Borrowings under the ABL credit
agreement bear interest based on a variable rate interest option
selected at the time of borrowing. In addition, as of
September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately
$565 million of available borrowings under other committed
and uncommitted facilities.
The Company had $1,932 million of outstanding long-term
debt at September 30, 2006. This debt includes
$550 million of notes bearing interest at 8.25% due
August 1, 2010, $439 million of notes bearing interest
at 7.00% due March 10, 2014, $800 million under the
seven-year term loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 3% due
June 13, 2013, and $143 million of various other,
primarily non-U.S. affiliate, long-term debt instruments with
various maturities.
Covenants and
Restrictions
Subject to limited exceptions, each of the Companys direct
and indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries acts as
guarantor under its term loan credit agreement. The obligations
under the credit agreement are secured by a first-priority lien
on certain assets of the Company and most of its domestic
subsidiaries, including intellectual property, intercompany
debt, the capital stock of nearly all direct and indirect
domestic subsidiaries, and 65% of the stock of certain first
tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as a second-priority lien on
substantially all other material tangible and intangible assets
of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries.
The obligations under the ABL credit agreement are secured by a
first-priority lien on certain assets of the Company and most of
its domestic subsidiaries, including real property, accounts
receivable, inventory, equipment and other tangible and
intangible property, including the capital stock of nearly all
direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than those
domestic subsidiaries the sole assets of which are capital stock
of foreign subsidiaries), as well as a second-priority lien on
substantially all other material tangible and intangible assets
of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries which
secure the Companys term loan credit agreement.
The terms relating to both credit agreements specifically limit
the obligations to be secured by a security interest in certain
U.S. manufacturing properties and intercompany indebtedness and
capital stock of U.S. manufacturing subsidiaries in order
to ensure that, at the time of any borrowing under the Credit
Agreement and other credit lines, the amount of the applicable
borrowing which is secured by such assets (together with other
borrowings which are secured by such assets and obligations in
respect of certain sale-leaseback transactions) do not exceed
15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as defined in the
indenture applicable to the Companys outstanding bonds and
debentures).
The credit agreements contain, among other things, mandatory
prepayment provisions for certain asset sales, recovery events,
equity issuances and debt incurrence, covenants, representations
and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of
this type. Such covenants include certain restrictions on the
incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and
other investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and
dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other repurchases
in respect of capital stock, voluntary prepayments of certain
other indebtedness, capital expenditures, transactions with
affiliates, changes in fiscal periods, hedging arrangements,
lines of business, negative pledge clauses, subsidiary
distributions and the activities of certain holding company
subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
48
Under certain conditions amounts outstanding under the credit
agreements may be accelerated. Bankruptcy and insolvency events
with respect to us or certain of our subsidiaries will result in
an automatic acceleration of the indebtedness under the credit
agreements. Subject to notice and cure periods in certain cases,
other events of default under the credit agreements will result
in acceleration of indebtedness under the credit agreements at
the option of the lenders. Such other events of default include
failure to pay any principal, interest or other amounts when
due, failure to comply with covenants, breach of representations
or warranties in any material respect, non-payment or
acceleration of other material debt, entry of material judgments
not covered by insurance, or a change of control of the Company.
At September 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance
with applicable covenants and restrictions, as amended, although
there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in
compliance with such covenants in the future. The ability of the
Companys subsidiaries to transfer assets is subject to
various restrictions, including regulatory, governmental and
contractual restraints.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
The Company has guaranteed certain Tier 2 suppliers
debt and lease obligations as well as certain obligations of an
unconsolidated joint venture and other third-party service
providers. These guarantees have not, nor does the Company
expect they are reasonably likely to have, a material current or
future effect on the Companys financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
European
Securitization
Effective August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a
European accounts receivable securitization facility
(European Securitization) that extends until August
2011 and provides up to $325 million in funding from the
sale of certain customer trade account receivables originating
from Company subsidiaries located in Germany, Portugal, Spain,
France and the U.K. (Sellers). Under the European
Securitization, receivables originated by the Sellers and
certain of their subsidiaries are transferred to Visteon
Financial Centre P.L.C. (the Transferor). The
Transferor is a bankruptcy-remote qualifying special purpose
entity. Receivables transferred from the Sellers are funded
through cash obtained from the issuance of variable loan notes
to third-party lenders and through subordinated loans obtained
from a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, representing the
Companys retained and beneficial interests in the
receivables transferred.
Transfers under the European Securitization, for which the
Company receives consideration other than a beneficial interest,
are accounted for as true sales under the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140
(SFAS 140), Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities and are removed from the balance sheet. The
Company recorded true sales of approximately $64 million at
a loss of approximately $1 million during the three-months
ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company has
approximately $21 million of retained amounts related to
these sales as of September 30, 2006. Transfers under the
European Securitization, for which the Company receives a
beneficial interest are not removed from the balance sheet and
total $281 million as of September 30, 2006. The
carrying value of the Companys retained and beneficial
interests in the receivables approximates fair value due to the
current nature of the maturities and are subordinated to the
interests of the third-party lenders.
Availability of funding under the European Securitization
depends primarily upon the amount of trade accounts receivables,
reduced by outstanding borrowings under the program and other
characteristics of those receivables that affect their
eligibility (such as bankruptcy or the grade of the obligor,
delinquency and excessive concentration). As of
September 30, 2006, approximately $112 million of the
Companys transferred receivables were considered eligible
for borrowing under this facility, $60 million was
outstanding and $24 million was available for funding.
49
The Sellers act as servicing agents and continue to service the
transferred receivables for which they receive a monthly
servicing fee based on the aggregate amount of the outstanding
purchased receivables. The Company is required to pay a monthly
fee to the lenders based on the unused portion of the European
Securitization.
Other
The Company has certain factoring agreements in place whereby
trade accounts receivable are sold to third-party financial
institutions without recourse. The Company sold 60 million
euro ($76 million), and 99 million euro
($117 million) under such agreements in Europe as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. Additionally, the Company sold 830 million
Japanese yen ($7 million) of trade receivables under such
agreements as of December 31, 2005.
The Company recognized losses of approximately $1 million
and $2 million for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, and less than
$1 million and approximately $1 million for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005,
respectively. Such losses represent the discount from book
values at which these receivables were sold to third parties.
Cash
Flows
Operating
Activities
Cash provided from operating activities during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 totaled
$42 million, compared with $375 million during the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. The
decrease is largely attributable to non-recurrence of the
March 2005 funding agreement with Ford and subsequent
amendment (which, in total, accelerated payment terms from
33 days to 22 days in 2005), lower postretirement
benefit liabilities other than pensions, and lower depreciation
and amortization related to the impact of the second quarter
2005 asset impairment, partially offset by lower losses
excluding restructuring and impairment charges.
Investing
Activities
Cash used by investing activities was $253 million during
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006,
compared with $70 million for the
nine-month
period ended September 30, 2005. The increase resulted
principally from the non-recurrence of the $311 million
deposit from Ford as consideration for the purchase of inventory
related to the sale of certain North American facilities,
partially offset by a reduction in capital expenditures. The
Companys capital expenditures, excluding capital leases,
in the
nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 totaled
$265 million, compared with $400 million during the
nine-month
period ended September 30, 2005, reflecting the impact
of the ACH transactions and the Companys continued focus
on capital spending management. During the
nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, proceeds from asset
disposals were $18 million.
Financing
Activities
Cash provided from financing activities totaled $60 million
in the
nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, compared with a use
of $136 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005. Cash proceeds in 2006 primarily
resulted from the borrowing on the $800 million
seven-year
term loan due June 13, 2013, partially offset by a net
repayment of $322 million on the revolving credit facility,
repayment and termination of the $241 million
five-year
term loan due June 25, 2007, and repurchase of
$150 million of outstanding 8.25% interest bearing notes
due August 1, 2010. In connection with the borrowing
on the $800 million
seven-year
term loan, the Company repaid and terminated its
$350 million
18-month
term loan issued in January 2006. Cash used by financing
activities in 2005 primarily reflects the retirement of
$250 million of 7.95% notes due
August 1, 2005, termination of the General Electric
Capital Corporation trade payables program, and reductions in
other consolidated subsidiary debt, partially offset by a
$300 million borrowing on the Companys short-term
revolving credit facility.
50
New Accounting
Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R). Under this statement, companies must recognize a
net asset or liability representing the funded status of their
defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit (OPEB)
plans beginning with the balance sheet as of
December 31, 2006. Implementation of this standard
will result in an additional non-current liability on the
Companys balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to
accumulated other comprehensive loss (after consideration of tax
effects). The amount of this liability is dependent on actuarial
valuations and plan asset values as of the
September 30, 2006 measurement date, as well as
foreign currency exchange rates as of
December 31, 2006. The Company estimates that the
pre-tax
charge to equity could range from $125 to $175 million.
Additionally, the Company expects that the effect of the
implementation of this standard on its financial covenants will
be immaterial.
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108 Quantifying Financial Statement
Misstatements, (SAB 108). SAB 108
clarifies that the evaluation of financial statement
misstatements must be made based on all relevant quantitative
and qualitative factors; this is referred to as a dual
approach. The adoption of SAB 108 is effective for
the year ending December 31, 2006 and is not expected to
have a material effect on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. this statement, which becomes effective
January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure
requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its
consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation
No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
(SFAS 109), Accounting for Income
Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income
taxes in accordance with SFAS 109 with respect to
recognition and measurement of tax positions that are taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return and is effective
January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of this interpretation on its consolidated financial
statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 156 (SFAS 156),
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets. This
statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities with
respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing
assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective on
January 1, 2007 and the Company is currently
evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004)
(SFAS 123(R)),
Share-Based
Payments. This statement requires that all
share-based
payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements
based on their estimated fair value. SFAS 123(R) was
adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2006 using
the
modified-prospective
method. In accordance with the
modified-prospective
method, the Companys consolidated financial statements for
prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not
include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Under the
modified-prospective
method, compensation expense includes:
|
|
|
Share-based
payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
(SFAS 123) Accounting for
Stock-Based
Compensation.
|
|
|
Share-based
payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based
on the fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 123(R).
|
51
The cumulative effect, net of tax, of adoption of
SFAS 123(R) was $4 million or $0.03 per share as of
January 1, 2006. The Company recorded $1 million,
or $0.01 per share, and $12 million, or $0.10 per
share, of incremental compensation expense during the three and
nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, under
SFAS 123(R) when compared to the amount that would have
been recorded under SFAS 123. Additional disclosures
required by SFAS 123(R) regarding the Companys
stock-based
compensation plans and related accounting are provided in
Note 3
Stock-Based
Compensation.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and effective
January 1, 2003 the Company began expensing the fair
value of
stock-based
awards granted to employees pursuant to SFAS 123. This
standard was adopted on the prospective method basis for
stock-based
awards granted, modified or settled after
December 31, 2002. For stock options and restricted
stock awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, the
Company measured compensation cost using the intrinsic value
method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees as
permitted by SFAS 123. If compensation cost for all
stock-based
awards had been determined based on the estimated fair value of
stock options and the fair value at the date of grant for
restricted stock awards, in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 123, the Companys reported net loss and net loss
per share would have resulted in the pro forma amounts

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS 151),
Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement clarifies the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This
Statement requires that those items be recognized as current
period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of
so abnormal. In addition, this Statement requires
that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. SFAS 151 was adopted by the Company effective
from January 1, 2006 and did not have a material
effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.

54
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risks from changes in currency
exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. To
manage these risks, the Company uses a combination of fixed
price contracts with suppliers, cost sourcing arrangements with
customers and financial derivatives. The Company maintains risk
management controls to monitor the risks and the related
hedging. Derivative positions are examined using analytical
techniques such as market value and sensitivity analysis.
Derivative instruments are not used for speculative purposes, as
per clearly defined risk management policies.
Foreign Currency
Risk
The Companys net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the
risk of changes in 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.
The Companys on-going solution is to reduce the exposure
through operating actions.
The Companys primary foreign exchange operating exposures
include the euro, Czech koruna, Korean won, Mexican peso and
Hungarian forint. Because of the mix between the Companys
costs and revenues in various regions, operating results are
exposed generally to weakening of the euro and to strengthening
of the Czech koruna, Korean won, Mexican peso and Hungarian
forint. For transactions in these currencies, the Company
utilizes a strategy of partial coverage. As of
September 30, 2006, the Companys coverage for
projected transactions in these currencies was approximately 58%
for 2006.
As of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, the net fair value of foreign
currency forward contracts was a liability of $2 million
and an asset of $9 million, respectively. The hypothetical
pre-tax gain or loss in fair value from a 10% favorable or
adverse change in quoted currency exchange rates would be
approximately $69 million and $62 million as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. These estimated changes assume a parallel shift in
all currency exchange rates and include the gain or loss on
financial instruments used to hedge loans to subsidiaries.
Because exchange rates typically do not all move in the same
direction, the estimate may overstate the impact of changing
exchange rates on the net fair value of the Companys
financial derivatives. It is also important to note that gains
and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would generally
be offset by gains and losses on the underlying exposures being
hedged.
Interest Rate
Risk
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate
risk. These swaps effectively convert a portion of the
Companys fixed rate debt into variable rate debt.
Including the effect of $350 million of interest rate
swaps, approximately 36% and 45% of the Companys
borrowings were effectively on a fixed rate basis as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively.
As of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, the net fair value of interest rate
swaps was a liability of $18 million and $15 million,
respectively. The potential loss in fair value of these swaps
from a hypothetical 50 basis point adverse change in interest
rates would be approximately $8 million and
$10 million as of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, respectively. The annual increase
in pre-tax interest expense from a hypothetical 50 basis
point adverse change in variable interest rates (including the
impact of interest rate swaps) would be approximately
$7 million and $6 million as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
This analysis may overstate the adverse impact on net interest
expense because of the short-term nature of the Companys
interest bearing investments.
55
Commodity
Risk
The Companys exposure to market risks from changes in the
price of commodities including aluminum, copper, steel products,
plastic resins and diesel fuel are not hedged due to a lack of
acceptable hedging instruments in the market. The Companys
exposures to price changes in such commodities are attempted to
be addressed through negotiations with the Companys
suppliers and customers, although there can be no assurance that
the Company will not have to absorb any or all price increases
and/or surcharges. When and if acceptable hedging instruments
are available in the market, management will determine at that
time if financial hedging is appropriate, depending upon the
Companys exposure level at that time, the effectiveness of
the financial hedge and other factors.
56
ITEM 4. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in reports the Company files with the SEC under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Companys management, including its CEO
and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
The Companys management carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of the CEO and the
CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of
September 30, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, the
CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective because of the
existence of a material weakness in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting as discussed below.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, management has concluded
that the consolidated financial statements included in this
Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
fairly state, in all material respects, the Companys
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
In the Companys 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K,
management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005 because of the existence of a
material weakness in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting relating to ineffective controls over the
complete and accurate recording of freight, raw material and
other supplier costs and related period-end accruals and
payables originating in its North American purchasing function.
This material weakness continued to exist as of
September 30, 2006.
Remediation
Efforts to Address Material Weakness in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
During the third and fourth quarter of 2005, the Company
implemented additional controls to identify potential
liabilities related to activities with its North American
suppliers, and to ensure that costs are recorded in the correct
period and that related period-end accruals and payables are
complete and accurate. These controls included the
implementation of policies and procedures to identify, assess
and account for supplier activities and contracts and to
estimate and record costs as incurred. Further, additional
procedures have been implemented to ensure that period-end
accruals and payables are complete and accurate. The Company
continues to monitor and test the operating effectiveness of
these controls.
Changes in
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control
over financial reporting during the three-month period ended
September 30, 2006 that have materially effected, or
are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting.
