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
June 30, 2008 and the related consolidated statements
of operations for each of the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 and
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2008 and
June 30, 2007. 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 (United States), 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 previously audited in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007,
and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders deficit and of cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated
February 22, 2008, except for Note 21, as to which the
date is May 19, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet information as of December 31, 2007, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis of
Presentation
|
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These interim consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) 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, 2007 and Current
Report on
Form 8-K
dated May 19, 2008, as filed with the SEC. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of full year results.

Basis of
Presentation (Continued)
|
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.
Revenue Recognition: The Company records
revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery occurs or services are rendered, the sales price or fee
is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably
assured. The Company delivers 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.
Services revenues are recognized as services are rendered and
associated costs of providing such services are recorded as
incurred.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period
presentation.
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.
Fair Value Measurements: The Company uses fair
value measurements in the preparation of its financial
statements, which utilize various inputs including those that
can be readily observable, corroborated or are generally
unobservable. The Company utilizes market-based data and
valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Additionally, the
Company applies assumptions that market participants would use
in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about
risk.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In
March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133. This statement requires disclosure
of (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments,
(b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entitys financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and
becomes effective for the Company on a prospective basis on
January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business
Combinations and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment to ARB
No. 51. These statements change the accounting and
reporting for business combination transactions and minority
interests in consolidated financial statements. These statements
are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for
the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of these statements on its consolidated financial
statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115. This statement permits measurement of
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
Company adopted this statement effective
January 1, 2008 and has not elected the permitted fair
value measurement provisions of this statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157),
Fair Value Measurements. This statement, which
became effective January 1, 2008, defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The
Company adopted the requirements of SFAS 157 as of
January 1, 2008 without a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP)
No. FAS 157-2
(FSP
FAS 157-2),
Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157, which delays the effective date of
SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities that are recognized or disclosed in the financial
statements on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. The Company has not applied
the provisions of SFAS 157 to its nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities in accordance with FSP
FAS 157-2.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this FSP on
its consolidated financial statements.
2008
Divestitures
On June 30, 2008, Visteon UK Limited, an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, transferred certain
assets related to its chassis manufacturing operation located in
Swansea, United Kingdom to Visteon Swansea Limited, a company
incorporated in England and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Visteon
UK Limited. Effective July 7, 2008, Visteon UK Limited
sold the entire share capital of Visteon Swansea Limited to
Linamar UK Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Linamar
Corporation for nominal cash consideration (together, the
Swansea Divestiture). The Swansea operation, which
manufactured driveline products, generated negative gross margin
of approximately $40 million on sales of approximately
$80 million during 2007. While the Swansea Divestiture
resulted in the complete exit of driveline product
manufacturing, the Company continues to generate significant
continuing cash flows related to ongoing services and
contractual arrangements pursuant to the ACH Transactions.
Visteon expects to record losses of approximately
$47 million in connection with this transaction, of which
approximately $13 million will be reimbursed from the
escrow account established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement,
dated as of October 1, 2005, among the Company, Ford
and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. Losses on the
Swansea Divestiture include $18 million of employee
severance and termination benefits, $7 million of pension
curtailment losses and $7 million of asset impairment
charges, which have been recorded in the second quarter
of 2008 along with $13 million of escrow
reimbursement. The remaining expected loss on the Swansea
Divestiture relates to working capital adjustments and will be
recorded in the third quarter in connection with the
July 7, 2008 transaction closing date.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company sold its
North American-based aftermarket underhood and remanufacturing
operations including facilities located in Sparta, Tennessee and
Reynosa, Mexico (the NA Aftermarket). The NA
Aftermarket manufactured starters and alternators, radiators,
compressors and condensers and also remanufactures steering
pumps and gears. These operations recorded sales for the year
ended December 31, 2007 of approximately
$133 million and generated negative gross margin of
approximately $16 million. During the first quarter
of 2008, the Company recorded a loss of $40 million on
the disposition of the NA Aftermarket.
2007
Divestitures
In March 2007, the Company entered into a Master Asset and
Share Purchase Agreement (MASPA) to sell certain
assets and liabilities associated with the Companys
chassis operations (the Chassis Divestiture). The
Companys chassis operations were primarily comprised of
suspension, driveline and steering product lines and included
facilities located in Dueren and Wuelfrath, Germany, Praszka,
Poland and Sao Paulo, Brazil. Collectively, these operations
recorded sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 of
approximately $600 million. The Chassis Divestiture, while
representing a significant portion of the Companys chassis
operations, did not result in the complete exit of any of the
affected product lines.
Effective May 31, 2007, the Company ceased to produce
brake components at its Swansea, UK facility, which resulted in
the complete exit of the Companys global suspension
product line. Accordingly, the results of operations of the
Companys global suspension product line have been
reclassified to Loss from discontinued operations, net of
tax in the consolidated statements of operations for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007.
A summary of the results of discontinued operations is provided
in the table below.

Restructuring
Activities
|
The Company has undertaken various restructuring activities to
achieve its strategic and financial objectives. Restructuring
activities include, but are not limited to, plant closures,
production relocation, administrative cost structure realignment
and consolidation of available capacity and resources. The
Company expects to finance restructuring programs through cash
reimbursement from an escrow account established pursuant to the
ACH Transactions, from cash on hand, from cash generated from
its ongoing operations, or through cash available under its
existing debt agreements, subject to the terms of applicable
covenants.

2008
Restructuring Actions
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded
restructuring expenses of $29 million under the previously
announced multi-year improvement plan, including the following
significant actions:
|
|
|
$18 million of employee severance and termination benefit
costs associated with 55 employees at the Companys
Other products facility located in Swansea, UK. In connection
with the Swansea Divestiture, Visteon UK Limited agreed to
reduce the number of employees to be transferred, which resulted
in $5 million of employee severance benefits and
$13 million of special termination benefits. Additionally,
the Company entered into customer agreements to mitigate the
operating losses at certain UK manufacturing facilities.
|
|
|
$5 million of employee severance and termination benefit
costs associated with approximately 40 employees to reduce
the Companys salaried workforce in higher cost countries.
|
|
|
$2 million of equipment relocation costs associated with
the completed closure of a North American Climate facility.
|
The Company currently estimates that the total cost associated
with the multi-year improvement plan will be approximately
$555 million. However, the Company continues to achieve
targeted cost reductions associated with the multi-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.
The Company anticipates that approximately $420 million of
costs incurred under the multi-year improvement plan will be
reimbursed from the escrow account pursuant to the terms of the
Escrow Agreement. While the Company anticipates substantial
utilization of funds available under the Escrow Agreement from
the
multi-year
improvement plan and other restructuring actions, any amounts
remaining in the escrow account after
December 31, 2012 will be disbursed to the Company
pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. It is possible
that actual cash restructuring costs could vary significantly
from the Companys current estimates resulting in
unexpected costs in future periods. 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 $350 million in cumulative
restructuring costs related to the multi-year improvement plan
including $138 million, $118 million, $63 million
and $31 million for the Other, Interiors, Climate and
Electronics product groups, respectively. Substantially all
restructuring expenses recorded to date relate to employee
severance and termination benefit costs and are classified as
Restructuring expenses on the consolidated
statements of operations. As of June 30, 2008, the
restructuring reserve balance of $96 million is entirely
attributable to the multi-year improvement plan.

Escrow
Agreement
Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, dated as of
October 1, 2005, among the Company, Ford and Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas, Ford paid $400 million
into an escrow account for use by the Company to restructure its
businesses. The Escrow Agreement provides that the Company will
be reimbursed from the escrow account for the first
$250 million of reimbursable restructuring costs, as
defined in the Escrow Agreement, and up to one half of the next
$300 million of such costs. Cash in the escrow account is
invested, at the direction of the Company, in high quality,
short-term investments and related investment earnings are
credited to the account as earned. Investment earnings of
$28 million became available to reimburse the
Companys restructuring costs following the use of the
first $250 million of available funds. Investment earnings
on the remaining $150 million will be available for
reimbursement after full utilization of those funds.
The following table provides a reconciliation of amounts
available in the escrow account.

Asset Impairments
and Loss on Divestitures
|
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144
(SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets requires that long-lived
assets and intangible assets subject to amortization be reviewed
for impairment when certain indicators of impairment are
present. Impairment exists if estimated future undiscounted cash
flows associated with long-lived assets are not sufficient to
recover the carrying value of such assets. Generally, when
impairment exists the long-lived assets are adjusted to their
respective fair values.
2008 Asset
Impairments and Loss on Divestiture
During the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2008 the Company recorded asset impairments
and loss on divestitures of $11 million and
$51 million, respectively. These amounts were related to
the following:
|
|
|
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company
determined that long-lived assets subject to the Swansea
Divestiture met the held for sale criteria of
SFAS 144. Accordingly, these assets were valued at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, which
resulted in an asset impairment charge of approximately
$7 million. The Company expects to record additional losses
of approximately $15 million on the Swansea Divestiture
related to working capital adjustments in connection with the
July 7, 2008 transaction closing date.
|
|
|
|
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the
Company also recorded an asset impairment charge of
approximately $4 million for certain Other product group
assets that met the held for sale criteria of
SFAS 144.
|
|
|
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company determined
that long-lived assets subject to the NA Aftermarket Divestiture
met the held for sale criteria of SFAS 144.
Accordingly, these assets were valued at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell, which resulted in an
asset impairment charge of approximately $21 million. The
Company also recorded a $19 million loss on the disposition
of the NA Aftermarket during the first quarter of 2008.
|
2007 Asset
Impairments
During the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2007 the Company recorded asset impairments
of $11 million and $51 million, respectively. These
amounts were related to the following:
|
|
|
During 2007 the Company determined that assets subject to
the Chassis Divestiture met the held for sale
criteria of SFAS 144. Accordingly, these assets were valued
at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell,
which resulted in asset impairment charges of approximately
$8 million and $25 million for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
|
|
|
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company recorded an asset impairment of $3 million to
reduce the net book value of certain long-lived assets to their
estimated fair value, in connection with restructuring
activities undertaken at a North American Other facility.
|
|
|
In consideration of the MASPA and the Companys announced
exit of the brake manufacturing business at its Swansea, UK
facility, an asset impairment charge of $16 million was
recorded to reduce the net book value of certain long-lived
assets at the facility to their estimated fair value in the
first quarter of 2007. The Companys estimate of fair
value was based on market prices, prices of similar assets, and
other available information.
|
|
|
Additionally during the first quarter of 2007 the Company
entered into an agreement to sell an Electronics building
located in Japan. The Company determined that the building met

|
|
|
NOTE 6.
|
Asset
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 trade receivables originating from Company subsidiaries
located in Germany, Portugal, Spain, France and the UK (the
Sellers). Under the European Securitization, trade
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. Trade
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, which represent the
Companys retained interest in the trade 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.
Transfers under the European Securitization, for which the
Company receives a beneficial interest are not removed from the
balance sheet and total $433 million and $434 million
as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. Such amounts are recorded at fair value and are
subordinated to the interests of third-party lenders. Securities
representing the Companys retained interests are accounted
for as trading securities under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Availability of funding under the European Securitization
depends primarily upon the amount of trade receivables reduced
by outstanding borrowings under the program and other
characteristics of those trade receivables that affect their
eligibility (such as bankruptcy or the grade of the obligor,
delinquency and excessive concentration). As of
June 30, 2008, approximately $223 million of the
Companys transferred trade receivables were considered
eligible for borrowing under this facility, $105 million
was outstanding and $118 million was available for funding.
The Company recorded losses of $4 million for each of the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
related to trade receivables sold under the European
Securitization. The table below provides a reconciliation of
changes in interests in account receivables transferred for the
period.

2008 Issuance of
New Notes and Tender Offer for Notes due 2010
On June 18, 2008, the Company completed the sale of
$206.4 million aggregate principal amount of its
12.25% senior notes due 2016 (the New Notes) in
a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933. On June 18, 2008, the
Company repurchased $344 million in aggregate principal
amount of its 8.25% senior notes due August 2010 pursuant
to a partial tender offer commenced on May 19, 2008
(collectively the Bond Transactions). The Company
used the net proceeds from the sale of the New Notes, plus
additional cash on hand, to pay the aggregate consideration of
approximately $337 million, excluding costs and expenses,
for such repurchase. The New Notes rank equally with the
Companys existing and future unsecured term debt, senior
to any future subordinated debt, and are guaranteed by certain
of its U.S. subsidiaries. The New Notes have not been and
will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws.
The New Notes were issued pursuant to a supplemental indenture
which contains covenants that limit, among other things, the
ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur
additional indebtedness, make certain distributions, investments
and other restricted payments, dispose of assets, grant liens on
assets, issue guarantees, designate unrestricted subsidiaries,
engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements
restricting the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends, engage
in sale and leaseback transactions, and merge or consolidate or
transfer substantially all of its assets, subject to certain
exceptions and qualifications. Each of the Companys
existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted
subsidiaries that guarantee debt under the Companys
revolving credit facility guarantee the New Notes.

Debt (Continued)
|
Holders of the New Notes have the right to require the Company
to redeem their New Notes in whole or in part on
December 31, 2013 at a redemption price of 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (the
Put Option). The Company may redeem the New Notes
prior to December 31, 2013 in whole at any time or in part
from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to
the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount to be
redeemed, and (2) the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the
New Notes to be redeemed discounted to the date of redemption on
a semi-annual basis at the applicable Treasury Rate plus
50 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest,
including, if applicable, liquidated damages, on the principal
amount being redeemed to the redemption date. Thereafter, the
Company may redeem the New Notes in whole at any time or in part
from time to time, at its option, at specified redemption prices
plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the
occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the
New Notes have the right to require the Company to purchase some
or all of the New Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Interest on the New Notes is fixed at an annual rate of 12.25%
and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and
December 31, beginning December 31, 2008. The
Company is required to pay additional interest on the New Notes
if, at any time during the period beginning six months and
ending one year after the June 18, 2008, adequate
current public information with respect to the Company is
unavailable.
The Bond Transactions were accounted for as a modification of
existing indebtedness under FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
No. 96-19,
Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of
Debt Instruments. Accordingly, an aggregate discount of
$10 million related to the net amount of the discount on
the New Notes, which were issued at a price of $916.21 per
$1,000 in aggregate principle amount, fees paid to creditors and
the gain on retirement of $344 million of Old Notes has
been deferred and will be amortized over the life of the New
Notes up to the date of the Put Option. Additionally, during the
three months ended June 30, 2008 the Company recorded
$5 million of expenses related to third party fees and
recognized $3 million of unamortized gains related to
previously terminated interest rate swaps in connection with the
Bond Transactions.

|
|
|
The Company recorded curtailment gains of $3 million and
$9 million for the three and six months ended

restructuring actions.
|
|
|
The Company recorded a settlement loss of $13 million

Retirement
Benefit Related Restructuring Expenses
In addition to retirement benefit expenses, the Company recorded
$14 million and $18 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, for
retirement benefit related restructuring charges. Such charges
generally relate to special termination benefits, voluntary
termination incentives, and pension losses and are the result of
various restructuring actions as described in Note 4
Restructuring Activities. Retirement benefit related
restructuring charges are initially classified as restructuring
expenses and related accruals are subsequently reclassified to
retirement benefit liabilities.
Contributions
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008,
contributions to the Companys U.S. retirement plans
and postretirement health care and life insurance plans were
$11 million and $14 million, respectively, and
contributions to
non-U.S. retirement
plans were $25 million. The Company presently anticipates
additional contributions to its U.S. retirement plans and
postretirement health care and life insurance plans of
$9 million and $19 million, respectively,
in 2008. The Company also anticipates additional 2008
contributions to
non-U.S. retirement
plans of $60 million.
Other
In accordance with the adoption of SFAS 158, the Company
re-measured plan assets and obligations as of
January 1, 2007. As a result, the Company recorded a
reduction to the pension liability of approximately
$120 million, a reduction of the OPEB liability of
approximately $90 million and an increase to accumulated
other comprehensive income of approximately $210 million.
The Company also adjusted the January 1, 2007 retained
earnings balance by approximately $34 million, representing
the net periodic benefit costs for the period between
September 30, 2006 and January 1, 2007 that
would have been recognized on a delayed basis during the first
quarter of 2007 absent the change in measurement date.

Provision for
Income Taxes
The Companys provision for income taxes in interim periods
is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate
against loss from continuing operations before income taxes and
minority interests, excluding equity in net income of
non-consolidated affiliates for the period. Effective tax rates
vary from period to period as separate calculations are
performed for those countries where the Companys
operations are profitable and whose results continue to be
tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax
asset valuation allowances exist and are maintained. The
Companys provision for income tax of $49 million and
$100 for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2008 reflects income tax expense related to
those countries where the Company is profitable, accrued
withholding taxes, ongoing assessments related to the
recognition and measurement of uncertain tax benefits and
certain non-recurring tax items and the inability to record a
tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain
other jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories
of income.
The 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 UK and Germany, will be
maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce
or eliminate them.
Unrecognized Tax
Benefits
The Company and its subsidiaries have operations in every major
geographic region of the world and are subject to income taxes
in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions.
Accordingly, the Company files tax returns and is subject to
examination by taxing authorities throughout the world,
including such significant jurisdictions as Korea, India,
Portugal, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Canada,
Germany and the United States. With few exceptions, the Company
is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for
years before 2004 or state and local, or
non-U.S. income
tax examinations for years before 2000.
The Companys gross unrecognized tax benefits at
June 30, 2008 were approximately $268 million,
and the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized,
would impact the effective tax rate were approximately
$140 million. The gross unrecognized tax benefits differ
from that which would impact the effective tax rate due to
uncertain tax positions embedded in other deferred tax
attributes carrying a full valuation allowance. Since the
uncertainty is expected to be resolved while a full valuation
allowance is maintained, these uncertain tax positions will not
impact the effective tax rate in current or future periods.
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company increased
its gross unrecognized tax benefits by approximately
$14 million primarily as a result of certain positions
expected to be taken in future tax returns, of which,
$7 million would impact the effective tax rate if the
unrecognized tax benefits were recognized.
It is reasonably possible that the amount of the Companys
unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next twelve
months as a result of settlement of ongoing audits or for
changes in judgment as new information becomes available related
to positions expected to be taken in future tax returns,
primarily related to transfer pricing initiatives. An estimate
of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made at
this time. Further, substantially all of the Companys
unrecognized tax benefits relate to uncertain tax positions that
are not currently under review by taxing authorities, and the
Company is unable to specify the future periods in which it may
be obligated to settle such amounts.

Basic net 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. In addition to restricted stock, the
calculation of diluted net loss per share takes into account the
effect of dilutive potential common stock, such as stock
warrants and stock options.

Fair Value
Measurements
|
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair
Value Measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a framework
for measuring fair value, which includes a hierarchy based on
the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and provides
specific disclosure requirements based on the hierarchy.
Fair Value
Hierarchy
SFAS 157 requires the categorization of financial assets
and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique,
into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value
hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest
priority to unobservable inputs. The various levels of the
SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 Financial assets and
liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market
prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market
that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 Financial assets and
liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets
that are not active or model inputs that are observable for
substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Financial assets and
liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation
techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and
significant to the overall fair value measurement.

NOTE 17.
|
Fair Value
Measurements (Continued)
|
SFAS 157 requires the use of observable market data, when
available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used
to measure fair value fall within different levels of the
hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is
categorized is based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring Fair
Value Measurements
The following table presents the Companys fair value
hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008:

Financial instruments whose fair values are based on prices or
valuation techniques that require inputs that are both
unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement are
considered to be Level 3 assets or liabilities. Changes in
the fair value of the Companys Level 3 assets for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 were
not material.
Valuation
Methods
Interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedge
instruments These financial instruments are valued
under an income approach using industry-standard models that
consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility
factors, current market and contractual prices for the
underlying, and counterparty non-performance risk. Substantially
all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace
throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from
observable data or are supported by observable levels at which
transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Interest in accounts receivable transferred These
financial assets result from the transfer of trade accounts
receivable under the European Securitization. These securities
are valued under an income approach, which requires inputs that
are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value
measurement. These inputs reflect the assumptions a market
participant would use in pricing the asset or liability and
include consideration of time value and counterparty
non-performance risk.

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.
The Company and its current and former directors and officers
intend to contest the foregoing lawsuit vigorously. However, at
this time the Company is not able to predict with certainty the
final outcome of the foregoing lawsuit or its potential exposure
with respect to such lawsuit. In the event of an unfavorable
resolution of this matter, 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
accruals.
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 six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007:

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.
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
June 30, 2008, had recorded an accrual of
approximately $7 million for this environmental
investigation and cleanup. However, estimating liabilities for
environmental investigation and cleanup is complex and dependent
upon a number of factors beyond the Companys control and
which may change dramatically. Although the Company believes its
accrual 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 accrual.
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; intellectual
property rights; and non-income taxes. 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. Accruals 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
June 30, 2008 or that are in excess of established
accruals. 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.

Segment
Information (Continued)
|
The Companys 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
primarily with ACH for the costs of leased employees and other
services provided by the Company.
The Companys chief operating decision making group,
comprised of the Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer
(CEO), 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.
Overview of
Segments

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A) is intended to help the reader
understand the results of operations, financial condition, and
cash flows of Visteon Corporation (Visteon or
the Company). MD&A is provided as a supplement
to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Companys
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and
Current Report on
Form 8-K
dated May 19, 2008, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and the financial statements and
accompanying notes to the financial statements included
elsewhere herein. The financial data presented herein are
unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all
adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of such information.
Executive
Summary
Visteon Corporation is a leading global supplier of
climate, interiors, electronics and other automotive systems,
modules and components to global automotive original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs). The Company sells to all the
of the worlds largest vehicle manufacturers including BMW,
Chrysler LLC, Daimler AG, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Honda,
Hyundai / Kia, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroën
(PSA), Renault, Toyota and Volkswagen. The Company
has a broad network of manufacturing, technical engineering and
joint venture operations in every major geographic region of the
world, supported by approximately 38,500 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.
The automotive industry remains challenging, particularly in
North America. However, because the North America region
represents only 25% of Visteons total sales, production
decreases by North American automakers have been largely offset
by sales growth in other regions of the world, particularly in
Asia. Diversification by customer and geography, coupled with
the Companys ongoing restructuring and business
improvement actions, has allowed Visteon to continue to improve
its financial performance during 2008, despite the
difficult North American market.
Effective July 7, 2008, Visteon completed the sale of
its Swansea, United Kingdom, operation. This disposition
represents a significant milestone in the Companys effort
to address non-core facilities and improve its financial
performance in connection with its multi-year improvement plan.
The Swansea operation, Visteons largest operation in the
UK, generated negative gross margin of approximately
$40 million on sales of approximately $80 million
during 2007. The Company expects to record losses of
approximately $47 million in connection with this
transaction, of which approximately $13 million will be
reimbursed from the escrow account. During the three-months
ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded losses of
$32 million on the Swansea Divestiture along with
$13 million of escrow reimbursement. The remaining expected
loss on the Swansea Divestiture is related to working capital
adjustments and will be recorded in connection with the
transaction closing date in the third quarter. Additionally, the
Company entered into customer agreements to mitigate the
operating losses at certain UK manufacturing facilities.
During the second quarter of 2008, Visteon also completed
the planned closure of two non-core fuel tank facilities in
Germany and ceased production at its operation in Bedford,
Indiana, USA. These actions bring the number of completed
actions as of June 30, 2008 to 22 of 30 previously
identified restructuring actions under Visteons multi-year
improvement plan. As a result of these actions, the Company has
recognized cumulative savings of approximately $250 million
since the inception of the multi-year improvement plan. The
Company continues to evaluate alternative courses of action
related to the remaining 8 facilities, including the possibility
of divestiture, closure or renegotiated commercial
and/or 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
long-term return to shareholders.
30
The Companys restructuring and business improvement
efforts continued to drive significant geographic and customer
diversification, with a greater percentage of the Companys
product sales outside of North America. For the first half
of 2008 the Company recorded net sales in North America of
approximately $1.45 billion or 25%, Europe of approximately
$2.42 billion or 42%, and Asia of approximately
$1.68 billion or 29%. Although Ford remains the
Companys largest customer, the Company has been steadily
diversifying its sales with other OEMs. Product sales to Ford in
North America were 12% of total product sales for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 16% during the six
months ended June 30, 2007. Ford product sales in other
regions were 24% and 25% for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively.
Further 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 first
half of 2008, the Company was awarded new forward year programs
across all of its product groups by other vehicle manufacturers
which will further diversify the Companys sales base in
future years.
The Company also took steps to improve its capital structure and
reduce its near term debt maturities during the second quarter
of 2008. On June 18, 2008, the Company completed the
sale of $206.4 million aggregate principal amount of its
12.25% senior notes due 2016 (the New
Notes) in a private placement exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. On
June 18, 2008, the Company repurchased
$344 million in aggregate principal amount of its
8.25% senior notes due August 2010 pursuant to a
partial tender offer commenced on May 19, 2008. The
Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the New Notes,
plus additional cash on hand, to pay the aggregate consideration
of approximately $337 million, excluding costs and
expenses, for such repurchase.
Summary Financial
Results for the Quarterly Period Ended
June 30, 2008
Visteon reported significant year-over-year financial
improvements in the second quarter of 2008, improving gross
margin by $76 million and reducing its net loss by
$25 million. Key financial results for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2008 are summarized as follows:
|
|
|
Product sales of approximately $2.8 billion, consistent
with the same period of 2007.
|
|
|
Product gross margin of $230 million or 8.3% of product
sales, up from $154 million or 5.4% of product sales when
compared to the same period of 2007.
|
|
|
Net loss lower by $25 million when compared to a net loss
of $67 million for the same period of 2007.
|
|
|
Cash and equivalents of approximately $1.5 billion, of
which approximately $950 million is in the United States.
|
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded
product sales of $2.78 billion compared to
$2.83 billion for the same period in 2007,
representing a decrease of approximately $52 million. Plant
divestitures and closures decreased sales by $222 million
and lower North America volumes resulted in a decrease in sales
of $106 million. These decreases were partially offset by
favorable currency of $163 million and increased vehicle
production volumes in Asia, Europe and South America,
demonstrating the benefit of the Companys significant
geographic diversification.
31
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, North
America product sales have decreased by 25% when compared to the
same period of 2007 and comprise 24% of the Companys
total product sales. This decrease was primarily driven by
production declines in North America for key customers,
including a 126,000 unit decline for Ford and
a 20,000 unit decline for Nissan. Plant closures in
connection with the Companys improvement plan also
resulted in product sales declines in North America. Europe
product sales comprised 43% of total product sales for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to 38%
in the same period of 2007. The increase in Europe product
sales was driven primarily by favorable currency related to the
strengthening of the Euro, partially offset by the 2007
Chassis divestiture. Asia product sales increased by
$69 million, comprising 29% of total product sales for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to 26%
of total product sales for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2007. The increase in Asia was primarily due
to higher Hyundia/Kia vehicle production volumes.
The Companys product gross margin was $230 million in
the second quarter of 2008, compared with $154 million
in the second quarter of 2007, representing an increase of
$76 million or 49%. The increase in gross margin was driven
by favorable currency of $43 million and net cost
performance of $41 million, which includes efficiencies
achieved through manufacturing, purchasing, and ongoing
restructuring efforts, net of customer pricing. These increases
were partially offset by a reduction in gross margin related to
manufacturing facilities that have been closed or divested.
As of June 30, 2008 the Companys consolidated
cash and equivalents totaled $1.5 billion and approximately
63% of this balance was located in the U.S. The
Companys cash and equivalent balance decreased by
approximately $250 million during 2008 including the
use of approximately $150 million to repurchase a portion
of the Companys 8.25% senior notes due
August 2010 and capital spending of $154 million,
partially offset by proceeds from asset sales and divestitures
of $59 million.

Net
Sales
Net sales decreased $69 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2008 when compared to the same period
of 2007, consisting of a $52 million decrease in
product sales and a $17 million decrease in services
revenues. The decrease was attributable to divestitures and
plant closures of $222 million and net customer price
reductions, which were partially offset by favorable currency of
$163 million and higher sales volumes of $38 million
primarily due to increased Hyundia/Kia vehicle production
volumes.
32
Net sales for Climate were $879 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, compared with
$891 million for the same period of 2007, representing
a decrease of $12 million or 1%. Vehicle production volume
and mix increased Climate sales by $60 million mainly in
Asia and were primarily related to higher Hyundai/Kia sales.
Favorable currency, primarily driven by the Euro, increased
sales by $14 million. These increases were more than offset
by a $52 million reduction in sales resulting from the
closure of the Companys Connersville, Indiana facility and
net customer price reductions.
Net sales for Electronics were $1,001 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to
$944 million for the same period of 2007, representing
an increase of $57 million or 6%. This increase included
favorable currency of $98 million and favorable vehicle
production volume and mix of $23 million in Europe
primarily related to Ford, VW, and BMW. These increases were
partially offset by lower North America vehicle production
volumes related to Ford, the impact of past customer sourcing
actions and net customer price reductions.
Net sales for Interiors were $844 million and
$825 million for the three-month periods ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
representing an increase of $19 million or 2%. Favorable
currency increased sales by $49 million and vehicle
production volume and mix was favorable $52 million in
Asia, largely driven by higher Hyundai/Kia vehicle production
volumes. These increases were partially offset by lower Nissan
vehicle production volumes in North America, lower
Nissan/Renault and PSA vehicle production volumes in Europe,
closure of the Companys Chicago, Illinois facility of
$11 million and net customer price reductions.
Net sales for Other were $175 million in the second quarter
of 2008, compared with $350 million in the second
quarter of 2007, representing a decrease of
$175 million or 50%. The decrease is associated with
divestitures and plant closures of $130 million including
the Chassis Divestiture, the Visteon Powertrain Control Systems
India (VPCSI) divestiture, and the NA Aftermarket
divestiture. Lower Ford North America vehicle production
volume also contributed to the decrease.
Services revenues primarily relate to information technology,
engineering, administrative and other business support services
provided by the Company to ACH, under the terms of various
agreements with ACH. Such services are generally provided at an
amount that approximates cost. Total services revenues were
$124 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2008, compared with $141 million for the
same period of 2007. The decrease in services revenue
represents lower ACH utilization of the Companys services
in connection with the terms of various agreements.
Gross
Margin
The Companys gross margin increased $76 million or
49% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The
increase in gross margin included $43 million related to
favorable currency, $41 million related to net cost
performance achieved through manufacturing and purchasing
improvement efforts and restructuring activities net of customer
pricing, and $30 million related to employee benefit
curtailments and settlements. These increases were partially
offset by a $21 million reduction related to plant closures
and divestitures and $12 million related to the
non-recurring benefit of a 2007 commercial settlement.
Gross margin for Climate of $78 million, or 8.9% of sales,
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 represents an
increase of $25 million or 47% when compared to
$53 million for the same period of 2007. This increase
includes $22 million resulting from increased vehicle
production volumes and favorable currency.
Gross margin for Electronics was $115 million, or 11.5% of
sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2008,
compared with $69 million for the same period of 2007,
representing an increase of $46 million or 67%. Net cost
efficiencies achieved through manufacturing and purchasing
improvement efforts and restructuring activities resulted in an
increase in gross margin of $34 million. Favorable vehicle
production volumes and currency further increased gross margin
by $19 million, while accelerated depreciation attributable
to the Companys restructuring efforts reduced gross margin
$7 million.
33
Gross margin for Interiors was $25 million, or 3% of sales,
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared
with $30 million for the same period of 2007,
representing a decrease of $5 million. The decrease
includes the non-recurring benefit of a 2007 commercial
settlement of $8 million, net negative cost performance of
$6 million attributable to new program launches, partially
offset by $10 million of contractual operating cost
reimbursement.
Gross margin for Other was $12 million in the second
quarter of 2008, compared with $4 million in the
second quarter of 2007, representing an increase of
$8 million. This increase includes employee benefit
curtailment gains of $25 million, $8 million of
contractual operating cost reimbursement, and favorable legal
settlements of $5 million, partially offset by
divestitures, plant closures and lower Ford North America
vehicle production volumes.
Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$156 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared
with $145 million in the second quarter of 2007,
representing an increase of $11 million or 8%. The increase
in expense includes $10 million of implementation costs
related to the companys cost reduction initiatives,
$7 million of bad debt and other costs, and currency of
$6 million. These increases were partially offset by
$12 million of efficiencies resulting from the
Companys continuing cost reduction efforts, net of other
costs.
Restructuring
Expenses and Reimbursement from Escrow Account
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded
restructuring expenses of approximately $29 million under
the previously announced multi-year improvement plan, of which,
50% were subject to reimbursement from the escrow account.
Significant restructuring actions include the following:
|
|
|
$18 million of employee severance and termination benefit
costs associated with 55 employees at the Companys
Other products facility located in Swansea, UK. In connection
with the Swansea Divestiture, Visteon UK Limited agreed to
reduce the number of employees to be transferred, which resulted
in a $5 million employee severance benefit and
$13 million of special termination benefits.
|
|
|
$5 million of employee severance and termination benefit
costs associated with approximately 40 employees to reduce
the Companys salaried workforce in higher cost countries.
|
|
|
$2 million of equipment relocation costs associated with
the completed closure of a North American Climate facility.
|
The Company has incurred $350 million in cumulative
restructuring costs related to the multi-year improvement plan
including $138 million, $118 million, $63 million
and $31 million for the Other, Interiors, Climate and
Electronics product groups, respectively. Substantially all
restructuring expenses recorded to date relate to employee
severance and termination benefit costs and are classified as
Restructuring expenses on the consolidated
statements of operations. As of June 30, 2008, the
restructuring reserve balance of $96 million is entirely
attributable to the multi-year improvement plan.
The following is a summary of the Companys consolidated
restructuring reserves and related activity for the three months
ended June 30, 2008. The Companys restructuring
expenses are primarily related to employee severance and
termination benefit costs.

Utilization for the three months ended June 30, 2008
includes $25 million of payments for severance and other
employee termination benefits, $14 million of special
termination benefits reclassified to pension and other
postretirement employee benefits, where such payments are made
from the Companys benefit plans and $3 million of
payments for contract termination, equipment relocation and
other costs.
Asset Impairments
and Loss on Divestitures
On June 30, 2008, Visteon UK Limited, an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, transferred certain
assets related to its chassis manufacturing operation located in
Swansea, United Kingdom to Visteon Swansea Limited, a company
incorporated in England and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Visteon
UK Limited. Effective July 7, 2008, Visteon UK Limited
sold the entire share capital of Visteon Swansea Limited to
Linamar UK Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Linamar
Corporation for nominal cash consideration (together, the
Swansea Divestiture). As of June 30, 2008,
assets subject to the transaction met the held for
sale criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144),
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets. Accordingly, these assets were valued at the lower
of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, which
resulted in an asset impairment charge of approximately
$7 million. The Company also recorded an asset impairment
charge of approximately $4 million for certain Other
product group assets that met the held for sale
criteria of SFAS 144.
Interest
Interest expense was $55 million for the quarterly periods
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Increases related
to higher average outstanding debt and fees associated with the
New Notes were offset by lower average interest rates and the
recognition of unamortized gains related to interest rate swap
hedges on the Old Notes.
Income
Taxes
The provision for income taxes of $49 million for the
second quarter represents an increase of $21 million when
compared with $28 million in the same period of 2007.
The increase in tax expense is primarily attributable to a lower
tax benefit in the current period related to the Companys
ability to offset pre-tax losses against other categories of
income despite the existence of deferred tax asset valuation
allowances. During the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2007, the Company realized a tax benefit of
approximately $20 million related to offsetting other
comprehensive income realized in the U.S. and Germany,
primarily related to the re-measurement of net pension and other
postretirement benefits (OPEB) obligations, against
pre-tax operating losses effectively reducing the Companys
deferred tax valuation allowance.

Net
Sales
Net sales decreased $97 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 when compared to the same period
of 2007, consisting of a $71 million decrease in
product sales and a $26 million decrease in services
revenues. The decrease was due to divestitures and plant
closures of $601 million and net customer price reductions,
partially offset by favorable currency of $344 million and
higher net sales volumes of $205 million. The net sales
volume increase is primarily due to higher Hyundai/Kia and Ford
Europe vehicle production volumes partially offset by decreases
in Ford and Nissan vehicle production volumes in North America.
Net sales for Climate were $1,733 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, compared with
$1,713 million for the same period of 2007,
representing an increase of $20 million or 1%. Vehicle
production volume and mix increased Climate sales by
$123 million primarily related to higher Hyundai/Kia sales
in Asia. Favorable currency increased sales by $56 million,
primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro. These increases
were partially offset by lower sales resulting from the closure
of the Companys Connersville, Indiana facility of
$105 million and net customer price reductions.
Net sales for Electronics were $1,969 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to
$1,845 million for the same period of 2007,
representing an increase of $124 million or 7%. This
increase included $179 million of favorable currency and
$66 million of vehicle production volume and mix in Europe
primarily related to higher volumes with Ford, VW, and BMW.
These increases were partially offset by lower North America
sales volumes related to Ford, the impact of past customer
sourcing actions and net customer price reductions.
Net sales for Interiors were $1,685 million and
$1,608 million for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for an
increase of $77 million or 5%. Favorable currency increased
sales by $105 million and vehicle production volume and mix
was favorable $117 million in Asia consisting of higher
Hyundai/Kia sales. These increases were partially offset by
lower Nissan vehicle production volumes in North America, lower
Nissan/Renault and PSA vehicle production volumes in Europe,
closure of the Companys Chicago, Illinois facility of
$54 million and net customer price reductions.
Net sales for Other were $374 million in the first half
of 2008, compared with $783 million in the first half
of 2007, representing a decrease of $409 million or
52%. The decrease was attributable to divestitures and plant
closures of $392 million, including the Chassis
Divestiture, the Visteon Powertrain Control Systems India
(VPCSI) Divestiture, and the NA Aftermarket
Divestiture.
36
Services revenues primarily relate to information technology,
engineering, administrative and other business support services
provided by the Company to ACH, under the terms of various
agreements with ACH. Such services are generally provided at an
amount that approximates cost. Total services revenues were
$245 million for the six-months ended
June 30, 2008, compared with $271 million for the
same period of 2007. The decrease in services revenue
represents lower ACH utilization of the Companys services
in connection with the terms of various agreements.
Gross
Margin
The Companys gross margin was $426 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of
$154 million or 57%. The increase in gross margin included
$75 million of net cost efficiencies achieved through
business improvement and restructuring activities,
$73 million of favorable currency, $54 million of
employee benefit curtailments and settlements $13 million
related to the sale of land and buildings in the UK,
$9 million related to vehicle production volumes, and
$5 million related to legal settlements. These increases
were partially offset by a $48 million reduction related to
plant closures and divestitures, the non-recurring benefit of a
$12 million 2007 commercial settlement, and
$6 million related to accelerated depreciation attributable
to the Companys on-going restructuring efforts.
Gross margin for Climate of $161 million, or 9.3% of sales,
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 represents an
increase of $68 million or 73% when compared to the same
period of 2007. This increase includes $16 million
resulting from increased vehicle production volumes and
favorable currency, $12 million of net cost performance
achieved through manufacturing and purchasing improvement
efforts and restructuring activities, $13 million for real
property asset sales, and $10 million related to the
non-recurrence of accelerated depreciation in 2007.
Gross margin for Electronics was $208 million, or 10.6% of
sales, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008,
compared with $132 million, representing an increase of
$76 million or 58%. Net cost efficiencies achieved through
manufacturing and purchasing improvement efforts and
restructuring activities resulted in an increase in gross margin
of $56 million. Favorable vehicle production volumes and
currency further increased gross margin by $35 million,
while accelerated depreciation attributable to the
Companys restructuring efforts reduced gross margin by
$15 million.
Gross margin for Interiors was $39 million, or 2.3% of
sales, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008,
compared with $36 million for the same period of 2007,
for an increase of $3 million or 8%. The increase includes
$7 million related to net cost efficiencies achieved
through manufacturing and purchasing improvement efforts and
restructuring activities and $2 million related to
favorable vehicle production volumes and currency. This increase
was partially offset by the non-recurrence of an
$8 million 2007 favorable commercial settlement.
Gross margin for Other was $16 million in the first half
of 2008, compared with $27 million in the first half
of 2007, representing a decrease of $11 million or
41%. The effect of divestitures and plant closures was partially
offset by an employee benefit curtailment gain of
$25 million related to the closure of Bedford,
IN manufacturing facility and favorable settlements of
$5 million.
Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$304 million in the first half of 2008, compared with
$314 million in the first half of 2007, representing a
decrease of $10 million or 3%. The decrease is primarily
attributable to $37 million of cost efficiencies resulting
from the Companys ongoing restructuring activities. This
decrease was partially offset by $14 million of
implementation costs associated with the Companys
restructuring activities and currency.
37
Restructuring
Expenses and Reimbursement from Escrow Account
During the first six months of 2008 the Company recorded
restructuring charges of $75 million under the previously

|
|
$23 million of employee severance and termination benefit
costs associated with approximately 20 salaried and
280 hourly employees at a European Interiors facility.
|
|
|
$18 million of employee severance and termination benefit
costs associated with 55 employees at the Companys
Other products facility located in Swansea, UK. In connection
with the Swansea Divestiture, Visteon UK Limited agreed to
reduce the number of employees to be, which resulted in a
$5 million employee severance benefit and $13 million
of special termination benefits.
|
|
|
$18 million of employee severance and termination benefit
costs related to reduce the Companys salaried workforce in
higher cost countries. These costs are associated with
approximately 160 salaried employees.
|
|
|
$6 million of contract termination charges related to the
closure of two European Other facilities.
|
|
|
$3 million of equipment relocation costs associated with
the completed closure of a North American Climate facility.

|
|
$2 million of employee termination benefits associated with
outplacement and training of former employees of a European
Interiors facility.
|
The following is a summary of the Companys consolidated
restructuring reserves and related activity for the six months
ended June 30, 2008. The Companys restructuring
expenses are primarily related to employee severance and
termination benefit costs.

termination benefits reclassified to pension and other
postretirement employee benefits, where such payments are made
from the Companys benefit plans and $5 million of
payments for contract termination, equipment relocation and
other costs.
Asset Impairments
and Loss on Divestitures
During the first half of 2008, the Company recorded asset
impairment and loss on divestitures of $51 million,
including $7 million related to the Swansea Divestiture and
$40 million related to the NA Aftermarket divestiture.
Of the $40 million loss on the NA Aftermarket divestiture,
$21 million was considered asset impairment.
During, 2008, assets subject to these divestiture
transactions met the held for sale criteria of
SFAS 144. Accordingly, these assets were valued at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, which
resulted in asset impairment charges of approximately
$28 million. The Company also recorded an impairment of
$4 million for certain Other product group assets that met
the held for sale criteria of SFAS 144.
38
Interest
Interest expense was $112 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $104 million for the
same period of 2007. The increase of $8 million was
due to higher average debt levels in the first half of 2008
when compared to 2007 as well as fees associated with the
New Notes. Interest income increased by $5 million to a
total of $28 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 largely due to higher cash balances and
related investments in 2008.
Income
Taxes
The provision for income taxes of $100 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008 represents an
increase of $55 million when compared with $45 million
in the same period of 2007. The increase in tax expense is
attributable to higher earnings in those countries where the
Company is profitable resulting in an increase in income tax of
$27 million. Additionally, the year to date income tax
expense was affected by a lower income tax benefit corresponding
to the Companys ability to offset pre-tax losses against
other categories of income despite the existence of deferred tax
asset valuation allowances, resulting in an increase in income
tax expense of $26 million. During the six months ended
June 30, 2007, the Company realized a tax benefit of
approximately $27 million related to offsetting other
comprehensive income realized in the U.S. and Germany,
primarily related to the re-measurement of net pension and OPEB
obligations, against pre-tax operating losses effectively
reducing the Companys deferred tax valuation allowance.
Liquidity
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 for two weeks in
July, the subsequent
ramp-up of
new model production and the additional one-week shutdown in
December by its primary North American customers. These seasonal
effects normally require use of liquidity resources during the
first and third quarters. The Company expects to fund its
working capital, restructuring and capital expenditure needs
with cash flows from operations. To the extent that the
Companys liquidity needs exceed cash from operations, the
Company would look to its cash balances and availability for
borrowings to satisfy those needs, as well as the need to raise
additional capital. However, the Companys ability to fund
its working capital, restructuring and capital expenditure needs
may be adversely affected by many factors including, but not
limited to, general economic conditions, specific industry
conditions, financial markets, competitive factors and
legislative and regulatory changes. Therefore, assurance cannot
be provided that Visteon will generate sufficient cash flow from
operations or that available borrowings will be sufficient to
enable the Company to meet its liquidity needs.
39
The Companys business is highly dependent upon the ability
to access the credit and capital markets. Access to, and the
costs of borrowing in, these markets depend in part on the
Companys credit ratings, which are currently below
investment grade. Moodys current corporate rating of the
Company is B3 with a negative outlook, and the SGL rating is 3.
The rating on the 2010 and 2014 senior unsecured debt
is Caa2, and the rating on the new 2016 senior unsecured
debt is Caa1. The current corporate rating of the Company by
S&P is B with a negative outlook on the rating.
S&Ps senior unsecured debt rating is B-. 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.
Additionally, the current state of the credit and capital
markets has resulted in severely constrained liquidity
conditions owing to a reevaluation of risk attributable
primarily, but not limited to, U.S. sub-prime mortgage
backed securities. Continuation of such constraints may increase
the Companys costs of borrowing and could restrict the
Companys access to this potential source of future
liquidity.
2008 Issuance of
New Notes and Tender Offer for Notes due 2010
On June 18, 2008, the Company completed the sale of
$206.4 million aggregate principal amount of its
12.25% senior notes due 2016 (the New
Notes) in a private placement exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. On
June 18, 2008, the Company repurchased
$344 million in aggregate principal amount of its
8.25% senior notes due August 2010 pursuant to a
partial tender offer commenced on May 19, 2008. The
Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the New Notes,
plus additional cash on hand, to pay the aggregate consideration
of approximately $337 million, excluding costs and
expenses, for such repurchase. The New Notes rank equally with
the Companys existing and future unsecured term debt,
senior to any future subordinated debt, and are guaranteed by
certain of its U.S. subsidiaries. The New Notes have not
been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws.
Cash and
Equivalents
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007
the Companys consolidated cash balances totaled
$1.5 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.
Approximately 63% and 68% of these consolidated cash balances
were located in the U.S. as of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. 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. remain significant. The
Companys ability to efficiently access cash balances in
certain foreign jurisdictions is subject to local regulatory and
statutory requirements.
Escrow
Account
In connection with the ACH Transactions, Ford paid
$400 million into an escrow account for use by the Company
to restructure its businesses subject to the terms and
conditions of the Escrow Agreement, dated
October 1, 2005, among the Company, Ford and Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas. The Escrow Agreement provides
that the Company will be reimbursed from the escrow account for
the first $250 million of reimbursable restructuring costs,
as defined in the Escrow Agreement, and up to one half of the
next $300 million of such costs. Cash in the escrow account
is invested, at the direction of the Company, in high quality,
short-term investments and related investment earnings are
credited to the account as earned. Investment earnings of
$28 million became available to reimburse the
Companys restructuring costs following the use of the
first $250 million of available funds. Investment earnings
on the remaining $150 million will be available for
reimbursement after full utilization of those funds.
Effective October 2007, the Companys restructuring
cost reimbursement match was reduced to fifty percent of
qualifying expenses pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had
received cumulative reimbursements from the escrow account of
$336 million, and $97 million was available for
reimbursement pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
40
Asset
Securitization
The Company transfers certain customer trade account receivables
originating from subsidiaries located in Germany, Portugal,
Spain, France and the UK (Sellers) pursuant to a
European securitization agreement (European
Securitization). The European Securitization agreement
extends until August 2011 and provides up to
$325 million in funding from the sale of receivables
originated by the Sellers and 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.
Availability of funding under the European Securitization
depends primarily upon the amount of trade account 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
June 30, 2008, approximately $223 million of the
Companys transferred receivables were considered eligible
for borrowing under this facility, $105 million was
outstanding and $118 million was available for funding.
Revolving Credit
Agreement
The Companys revolving credit agreement allows for
available borrowings of up to $350 million. Availability at
any time is dependent upon various factors, including
outstanding letters of credit, the amount of eligible
receivables, inventory and property and equipment. Borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest based on a
variable rate interest option selected at the time of borrowing.
The Revolving Credit Agreement expires on
August 14, 2011. As of June 30, 2008, there
were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Agreement. The total facility availability for the Company was
$251 million, with $158 million of available
borrowings under the facility after a reduction for
$93 million of obligations under letters of credit.
Cash
Flows
Operating
Activities
Cash provided by operating activities during the six months
ended June 30, 2008 totaled $7 million, compared
with $15 million for the same period in 2007. The
decrease is attributable to lower dividends from
non-consolidated affiliates, higher net restructuring cash
outflow, higher annual incentive compensation payments, and an
increase in recoverable tax assets. The decreases were partially
offset by non-recurrence of a $65 million reduction in
receivables sold in 2007, improved trade working capital
excluding change in receivables sold, and lower net loss, as
adjusted for certain non-cash items.
Investing
Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $91 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with
$55 million for the same period in 2007. The increase
in cash usage primarily resulted from lower proceeds from
divestiture and asset sales and an increase in capital
expenditures. Capital expenditures, excluding capital leases,
increased to $154 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared with $144 million in the
same period of 2007. The proceeds from divestiture and
asset sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008,
which included proceeds from the NA Aftermarket divestiture,
totaled $59 million compared to $90 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007, which included
proceeds from the Chassis divestiture.
41
Financing
Activities
Cash used by financing activities totaled $182 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with
$444 million provided by financing activities in the same
period of 2007. Cash used by financing activities in the
six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily resulted from
the purchase of $344 million in aggregate principal amount
of the Companys Old Notes and issuance of
$206.4 million in aggregate principal amount of New Notes,
a decrease in book overdrafts and dividends to minority
shareholders. Cash provided from financing activities in the six
months ended June 30, 2007 reflects the proceeds from
the Companys $500 million addition to its seven-year
term loan, partially offset by reductions in affiliate debt, a
decrease in book overdrafts, and dividends to minority
shareholders.
Debt and Capital
Structure
Debt
Additional information related to the Companys debt is set
forth in Note 12 Debt to the consolidated
financial statements included herein under Item 1.
Covenants and
Restrictions
The New Notes were issued pursuant to a supplemental indenture
which contains covenants that limit, among other things, the
ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur
additional indebtedness, make certain distributions, investments
and other restricted payments, dispose of assets, grant liens on
assets, issue guarantees, designate unrestricted subsidiaries,
engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements
restricting the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends, engage
in sale and leaseback transactions, and merge or consolidate or
transfer substantially all of its assets, subject to certain
exceptions and qualifications. Each of the Companys
existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted
subsidiaries that guarantee debt under the Companys
revolving credit facility guarantee the New Notes.
Holders of the New Notes have the right to require the Company
to redeem their New Notes in whole or in part on
December 31, 2013 at a redemption price of 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The
Company may redeem the New Notes prior to
December 31, 2013 in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed,
and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the New Notes to
be redeemed discounted to the date of redemption on a
semi-annual basis at the applicable Treasury Rate plus
50 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest,
including, if applicable, liquidated damages, on the principal
amount being redeemed to the redemption date. Thereafter, the
Company may redeem the New Notes in whole at any time or in part
from time to time, at its option, at specified redemption prices
plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the
occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the
New Notes have the right to require the Company to purchase some
or all of the New Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company is required to pay
additional interest on the New Notes if, at any time during the
period beginning six months and ending one year after the
June 18, 2008, adequate current public information
with respect to the Company is unavailable.
Subject to limited exceptions, each of the Companys direct
and indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries as well
as certain foreign 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 as well as
certain foreign subsidiaries, and 65% of the stock of certain
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.
42
Obligations under the Revolving 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) and certain 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.
Under certain conditions, amounts outstanding under the credit
agreements may be accelerated. Bankruptcy and insolvency events
with respect to the Company or certain of its 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 June 30, 2008, 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. If the Company was
to violate a covenant and not obtain a waiver, the credit
agreements could be terminated and amounts outstanding would be
accelerated. The Company can provide no assurance that, in such
event, that it would have access to sufficient liquidity
resources to repay such amounts.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
Guarantees
The Company has guaranteed certain Tier 2 suppliers
debt and lease obligations and other third-party service
providers obligations to ensure the continued supply of
essential parts. 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.
43
Asset
Securitization
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.
Transfers under the European Securitization, for which the
Company receives a beneficial interest are not removed from the
balance sheet and total $433 million and $434 million
as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. Such amounts are recorded at fair value and are
subordinated to the interests of third-party lenders. Securities
representing the Companys retained interests are accounted
for as trading securities under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Availability of funding under the European Securitization
depends primarily upon the amount of trade receivables reduced
by outstanding borrowings under the program and other
characteristics of those trade receivables that affect their
eligibility (such as bankruptcy or the grade of the obligor,
delinquency and excessive concentration). As of
June 30, 2008, approximately $223 million of the
Companys transferred trade receivables were considered
eligible for borrowing under this facility, $105 million
was outstanding and $118 million was available for funding.
The Company recorded losses of $4 million for each of the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
related to trade receivables sold under the European
Securitization. The table below provides a reconciliation of
changes in interests in account receivables transferred for the
period.

Fair Value
Measurements
The Company uses fair value measurements in the preparation of
its financial statements, which utilize various inputs including
those that can be readily observable, corroborated or are
generally unobservable. The Company utilizes market-based data
and valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Additionally, the Company applies assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability,
including assumptions about risk. The primary financial
instruments that are recorded at fair value in the
Companys financial statements include derivative
instruments and retained interests in trade accounts receivable
transferred under the European Securitization.
The Companys use of derivative instruments creates
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparty to the derivative financial instruments. The
Company limits this exposure by entering into agreements
directly with a variety of major financial institutions with
high credit standards and that are expected to fully satisfy
their obligations under the contracts. Fair value measurements
related to derivative assets take into account the
non-performance risk of the respective counterparty, while
derivative liabilities take into account the non-performance
risk of the Company and its foreign affiliates. The hypothetical
gain or loss from a 100 basis point change in
non-performance risk would be less than $1 million for the
fair value of foreign currency derivatives and net interest rate
swaps as of June 30, 2008.
44
The fair value of retained interests in accounts receivable
transferred is based on a valuation technique that requires
inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall
fair value measurement. These inputs reflect the assumptions a
market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability
and include consideration of time value and counterparty
non-performance risk. The hypothetical gain or loss from a
100 basis point change in these assumptions would be
approximately $5 million.
New Accounting
Standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133. This statement requires disclosure
of (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments,
(b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entitys financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and
becomes effective for the Company on a prospective basis on
January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business
Combinations and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment to ARB
No. 51. These statements change the accounting and
reporting for business combination transactions and minority
interests in consolidated financial statements. These statements
are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for
the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of these statements on its consolidated financial
statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115. This statement permits measurement of
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
Company adopted this statement effective
January 1, 2008 and has not elected the permitted fair
value measurement provisions of this statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157),
Fair Value Measurements. This statement, which
became effective January 1, 2008, defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The
Company adopted the requirements of SFAS 157 as of
January 1, 2008 without a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements, as more fully disclosed in
Note 17, Fair Value Measurements. In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) No.
FAS 157-2
(FSP
FAS 157-2),
Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157, which delays the effective date of
SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities that are recognized or disclosed in the financial
statements on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. The Company has not applied
the provisions of SFAS 157 to its nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities in accordance with
FSP FAS 157-2
and is currently evaluating the impact of this FSP on its
consolidated financial statements.
Cautionary
Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements contained or incorporated in this Quarterly
Report on
Form 10-Q
which are not statements of historical fact constitute
Forward-Looking Statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
Reform Act). Forward-looking statements give current
expectations or forecasts of future events. Words such as
anticipate, expect, intend,
plan, believe, seek,
estimate and other words and terms of similar
meaning in connection with discussions of future operating or
financial performance signify forward-looking statements. These
statements reflect the Companys current views with respect
to future events and are based on assumptions and estimates,
which are subject to risks and uncertainties including those
discussed in Item 1A under the heading Risk
Factors in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for fiscal year 2007 and elsewhere in this report.
Accordingly, the reader should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements. Also, these
45
forward-looking statements represent the Companys
estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report.
The Company does not intend to update any of these
forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events
that occur after the statement is made. The Company qualifies
all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary
statements.
The reader should understand that various factors, in addition
to those discussed elsewhere in this document, could affect the
Companys future results and could cause results to differ
materially from those expressed in such forward-looking
statements, including:
|
|
|
Visteons ability to satisfy its future capital and
liquidity requirements; Visteons ability to access the
credit and capital markets at the times and in the amounts
needed and on terms acceptable to Visteon, which is influenced
by Visteons credit ratings (which have declined in the
past and could decline further in the future); Visteons
ability to comply with covenants applicable to it; and the
continuation of acceptable supplier payment terms.
|
|
|
Visteons ability to satisfy its pension and other
postemployment benefit obligations, and to retire outstanding
debt and satisfy other contractual commitments, all at the
levels and times planned by management.
|
|
|
Visteons ability to access funds generated by its foreign
subsidiaries and joint ventures on a timely and cost effective
basis.
|
|
|
Changes in the operations (including products, product planning
and part sourcing), financial condition, results of operations
or market share of Visteons customers, particularly its
largest customer, Ford.
|
|
|
Changes in vehicle production volume of Visteons customers
in the markets where we operate, and in particular changes in
Fords North American and European vehicle production
volumes and platform mix.
|
|
|
Visteons ability to profitably win new business from
customers other than Ford and to maintain current business with,
and win future business from, Ford, and, Visteons ability
to realize expected sales and profits from new business.
|
|
|
The availability of Visteons federal net operating loss
carryforward and other federal income tax attributes may be
eliminated or significantly limited if a change of ownership of
Visteon, within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code, were to occur.
|
|
|
Increases in commodity costs or disruptions in the supply of
commodities, including steel, resins, aluminum, copper, fuel and
natural gas.
|
|
|
Visteons ability to generate cost savings to offset or
exceed agreed upon price reductions or price reductions to win
additional business and, in general, improve its operating
performance; to achieve the benefits of its restructuring
actions; and to recover engineering and tooling costs.
|
|
|
Visteons ability to compete favorably with automotive
parts suppliers with lower cost structures and greater ability
to rationalize operations; and to exit non-performing businesses
on satisfactory terms, particularly due to limited flexibility
under existing labor agreements.
|
|
|
Restrictions in labor contracts with unions that restrict
Visteons ability to close plants, divest unprofitable,
noncompetitive businesses, change local work rules and practices
at a number of facilities and implement cost-saving measures.

ITEM 3.
|
QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
The primary market risks to which the Company is exposed include
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and
certain commodity prices. The Company manages these risks
through derivative instruments and various operating actions
including fixed price contracts with suppliers and cost sourcing
arrangements with customers. The Companys use of
derivative instruments is limited to hedging activities and such
instruments are not used for speculative or trading purposes, as
per clearly defined risk management policies. Additionally, the
Companys use of derivative instruments creates exposure to
credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty
to the derivative financial instruments. The Company limits this
exposure by entering into agreements directly with a variety of
major financial institutions with high credit standards and that
are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the
contracts.
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 Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage
foreign currency exchange rate risks. Forward contracts and, to
a lesser extent, option contracts are utilized to protect the
Companys cash flow from adverse movements in exchange
rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed monthly and any
natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a
derivative financial instrument. The Companys primary
foreign exchange operating exposures include the Euro, Korean
Won, Czech Koruna and Mexican Peso. For transactions in these
currencies, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage.
As of June 30, 2008, the Companys coverage for
projected transactions in these currencies was approximately
69%. As of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, the net fair value of foreign
currency forward and option contracts was an asset of
$8 million and a liability of $1 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 $37 million and $30 million as
of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
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 is subject to interest rate risk principally in
relation to fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. The Company uses
derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates in connection with its risk
management policies. The Company has entered into interest rate
swaps for a portion of the 8.25% notes due
August 1, 2010 ($125 million) and 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.
Additionally, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps
for a portion of the $1 billion term loan due 2013
($200 million), effectively converting the designated
portion of this loan from a variable interest rate to a fixed
interest rate instrument. Approximately 32% and 37% of the
Companys borrowings were effectively on a fixed rate basis
as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. As of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, the net fair value of interest rate
swaps were liabilities of $6 million and $9 million,
respectively.
48
The potential loss in fair value of these swaps from a
hypothetical 50 basis point adverse change in interest
rates would be approximately $3 million as of
June 30, 2008 and $4 million as of
December 31, 2007. 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 $9 million as
of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. This
analysis may overstate the adverse impact on net interest
expense because of the short-term nature of the Companys
interest bearing investments.
During the third quarter of 2004 and the first quarter
of 2005, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with a
notional amount of $190 million and $200 million,
respectively, related to the 8.25% notes due 2010. The
fair value of these swaps at termination was deferred and
amortized as a reduction in interest expense over the remaining
term of the debt. In connection with the June 2008
retirement of $344 million of the 8.25% notes
due 2010, the Company recognized $3 million of
unamortized gains associated with approximately
$300 million notional amount of such previously terminated
interest rate swaps.
Commodity
Risk
The Companys exposure to market risks from changes in the
price of commodities including steel products, plastic resins,
aluminum, natural gas and diesel fuel are not hedged due to a
lack of acceptable hedging instruments in the market. While the
Company addresses exposures to price changes in such commodities
through operating actions, including negotiations with suppliers
and customers, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to mitigate 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.

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
June 30, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and
CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective.
Changes in
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal controls
over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2008 that have materially affected the
Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
