VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Description of Business

Visteon Corporation (the “Company” or “Visteon”) is a global supplier of automotive systems, modules and components to automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) worldwide including Ford, Nissan, Renault, Mazda, BMW, General Motors and Honda. Headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan, Visteon has a current workforce of approximately 11,500 employees dedicated to the design, development, manufacture and support of its product offerings and its global customers. The Company's manufacturing and engineering footprint is principally located outside of the U.S., with a heavy concentration in low-cost geographic regions.

Visteon delivers value for its customers and stockholders through its technology-focused core vehicle cockpit electronics business. The Company's vehicle cockpit electronics product line includes audio systems, infotainment systems, driver information systems, connectivity and telematics solutions and electronic control modules. The Company's vehicle cockpit electronics business is comprised of and reported under the Electronics segment. In addition to the Electronics segment, the Company has residual operations in South America and Europe previously associated with the Interiors and Climate businesses, not subject to discontinued operations classification, that comprise the Other segment.

Climate

On June 9, 2015, Visteon Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, VIHI, LLC (collectively, “Visteon”) completed the sale to Hahn & Co. Auto Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Hahn”) and Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. (“Hankook” and, together with Hahn, the “Purchasers”) of all of its shares of Halla Visteon Climate Control Corporation, a Korean corporation (“HVCC”), for approximately $3.4 billion, or KRW 52,000 per share, after adjusting for the 2014 dividend paid by HVCC to Visteon (the “Climate Transaction”), pursuant to and in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among Visteon and the Purchasers. See Note 3 "Discontinued Operations" for additional disclosures. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $2.7 billion and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $2.3 billion in connection with the closing of the Climate Transaction.

In connection with the closing of the Climate Transaction, Visteon, HVCC and/or the Purchasers have entered into certain other agreements, including a transition agreement (pursuant to which the parties will provide certain transition services for a specified period following the closing), a remediation agreement (pursuant to which Visteon will provide certain information technology services for a period of time), engineering and support agreements (pursuant to which the parties will support certain operations of the other following the closing), and a letter agreement (pursuant to which Visteon has agreed to purchase from HVCC certain electronics operations located in India).

Electronics

On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the global automotive electronics business of Johnson Controls Inc. (the "Electronics Acquisition") for an aggregate purchase price of $299 million funded with cash on hand, including $31 million of cash and equivalents at the acquired business. The operating results for the business acquired have been included in the Electronics segment from the date of acquisition. The Electronics Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the purchase price allocated on a preliminary basis as of July 2014.

Interiors

In May 2014, pursuant to a Master Purchase Agreement, as subsequently amended, Visteon agreed to divest substantially all of its global Interiors business (the "Interiors Divestiture") in exchange for the assumption of certain liabilities related to the Company's Interiors business and the payment of nominal cash consideration. Effective November 1, 2014, the Company closed on the majority of the Interiors Divestiture (the "Master Closing"). Subsequent to the Master Closing, Visteon completed the sale of Interiors operations in India and Thailand on December 1, 2014 and February 2, 2015, respectively. Remaining operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture are located in Argentina and Brazil and are expected to close during 2015. Assets and liabilities associated with these operations continue to meet the "held for sale" criteria at June 30, 2015 and were classified as "Other current assets" or "Other current liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. These remaining transactions are subject to various conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approvals, receipt of other third party consents and approvals and other customary closing conditions, and may be subject to further cash impacts based on purchase price adjustments at the time of closing. The Company expects to record losses in connection with the Argentina and Brazil portions of the Interiors Divestiture in future periods upon closing, which are estimated to be approximately $20 million.

Table of Contents

In preparing the June 30, 2015, financial statements, the Company determined that an indicator of impairment existed in relation to the long-lived assets of the European Interiors operation that is not subject to the Interiors Divestiture. Accordingly, the Company performed a recoverability test utilizing a probability weighted analysis of cash flows associated with continuing the operations and estimated cash flows associated with the potential sale of the operations. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that the assets were not recoverable. However, as the fair value of the underlying assets were determined to be in excess of the respective carrying value, no impairment was recorded as of June 30, 2015. The Company continues to pursue strategic alternatives to fully divest of its remaining European Interiors operation. To the extent that a sale transaction becomes more likely to occur in future periods an impairment charge may be required and such charge could be material. Additionally, due to certain liabilities and capital requirements of this remaining business, Visteon may be required to contribute cash to such business in connection with any disposition and such amounts could be material. As of June 30, 2015, the Company did not meet the specific criteria considered necessary for the European Interiors operation to be considered held for sale.

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

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

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

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

Other (Income) Expense, Net: Other (income) expense, net includes transformation initiatives, integration costs and a provision for losses on recoverable taxes. Transformation initiatives include financial and advisory fees incurred in connection with execution of the Company's comprehensive value creation plan and certain severance costs associated with the Electronics Acquisition and the Climate Transaction. Transformation initiatives also include favorable hedging and exchange impacts of $22 million and $19 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 respectively, related to the Climate Transaction proceeds.

Integration costs include costs associated with re-branding, facility modification, information technology readiness and related professional services necessary to integrate businesses associated with the Electronics Acquisition. The Company expects to incur total integration costs of $40 million over a two-year period through the end of 2015, of which $27 million has been incurred through June 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

Cash and Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, including short-term time deposits, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and money market funds to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2015 the remaining cash related to the Climate Transaction proceeds is invested in a diversified portfolio of conservative cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, commercial paper rated A2/P2 and above with maturity under three months, and time deposits which mature under three months with highly rated banking institutions. The Company has $964 million in AAA rated money market mutual funds, all with daily liquidity, that are invested in high quality government and prime securities with asset values exceeding $15 billion per fund. The recorded value of such funds approximates fair value based on the nature of the investment.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents amounts designated for uses other than current operations and includes $7 million related to the Letter of Credit Facility with US Bank National Association, and $2 million related to cash collateral for other corporate purposes at June 30, 2015.

Investments in Affiliates: The Company recorded equity in the net income of affiliates of $12 million and $7 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, the Company recorded $11 million and $7 million, respectively. Investments in affiliates were $63 million and $99 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015, affiliates accounted for under the equity method totaled $52 million and affiliates accounted for under the cost method totaled $11 million. The Company monitors its investments in affiliates for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that such a decline has occurred, an impairment loss is recorded, which is measured as the difference between carrying value and fair value.

In June 2015, the Company completed the sale of its 12.5% ownership interest in Yangfeng Visteon Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. ("Jinqiao"), a Chinese automotive supplier for proceeds of approximately $91 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $62 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

In April 2014, the Company completed the sale of its 50% ownership interest in Duckyang Industry Co., Ltd. ("Duckyang"), a Korean automotive interiors supplier. In connection with the transaction, the Company received total cash of approximately $31 million, including $6 million of dividends. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $2 million on this transaction during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Product Warranty and Recall: Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts that will ultimately be required to settle such items. The Company’s estimates for product warranty and recall obligations are developed with support from its sales, engineering, quality and legal functions and include due consideration of contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims and related information, production changes, industry and regulatory developments and various other considerations. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $13 million as changes in estimates for customer actions related to defective supplier parts. The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the product warranty and recall claims liability.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-8, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity". This ASU changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results and does not prohibit continuing involvement. The standard also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance was

Table of Contents

effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this new standard prospectively with effect from January 1, 2015.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this principle, an entity identifies the contract with a customer, identifies the separate performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. This ASU allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard. As such, the new standard will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption on the original effective date permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-2, "Consolidation (Topic 810)—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis", which provides guidance on evaluating whether a reporting entity should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities. Further, the amendments eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, as well as affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments using a modified retrospective approach or a full retrospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-3, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Cost". The ASU requires debt issuance costs associated with a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the corresponding debt liability. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. An entity should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-7, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This amendment removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. Discontinued Operations

The operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture and Climate Transaction met conditions required to qualify for discontinued operations reporting. Accordingly, the results of operations for the Interiors and Climate businesses have been reclassified to Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had international affiliate short-term borrowings of $28 million and $21 million, respectively. Short-term borrowings increased in 2015 primarily due to increased working capital needs at a joint venture in China. Available borrowings on outstanding affiliate credit facilities as of June 30, 2015, is approximately $24 million.

Long-Term Debt

The Credit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2014 and as amended by Waiver and Amendment No. 1 dated as of March 25, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto, each letter of credit issuer from time to time party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, provides for (i) an aggregate principal of $350 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Term Facility matures on April 9, 2021 and the Revolving Facility matures on April 9, 2019. The Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants and contains customary events of default.

Table of Contents

agree to waive a requirement of the Credit Agreement that 100% of the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the Climate Transaction be used to prepay the Term Loans so long as such net cash proceeds are used to prepay the Term Loans within five business days of the receipt of such net cash proceeds in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding after giving effect to such prepayment to no more than $350 million.

Visteon consummated the Climate Transaction on June 9, 2015 and subsequently paid down $246 million term loan principal on June 12, 2015 to reduce the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility to approximately $350 million. In connection with the principal reduction, the 0.25% mandatory quarterly prepayment obligation was considered completed, therefore the Company will cease making quarterly amortization payments.

The Company’s expected 2015 contributions may be revised.

Table of Contents

Defined Contribution Plans

Most U.S. salaried employees and certain non-U.S. employees are eligible to participate in defined contribution plans by contributing a portion of their compensation, which is partially matched by the Company. For the U.S. defined contribution plan, the Company matches 100% of contributions on the first 6% of pay contributed. The expense related to matching contributions was approximately $2 million and $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The expense related to matching contributions was approximately $7 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 12. Income Taxes

During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income tax on continuing operations of $24 million and $33 million, respectively, which includes income tax expense in countries where the Company is profitable, withholding taxes, changes in uncertain tax benefits, and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions due to valuation allowances. Pre-tax losses from continuing operations in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are maintained and no income tax benefits are recognized totaled $14 million and $68 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, resulting in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate in those periods.

The Company provides for U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the projected future repatriations of the earnings from its non-U.S. operations that are not considered permanently reinvested at each tier of the legal entity structure. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized expense of $5 million and $2 million, respectively, reflecting the Company's forecasts which contemplate numerous financial and operational considerations that impact future repatriations.

The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against income before income taxes, excluding equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the period. Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate calculations are performed for those countries where the Company's operations are profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax valuation allowances exist and are maintained. The Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain other non-recurring tax items, including changes in judgments about valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, and changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.

The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will cause variability in the Company’s quarterly and annual effective tax rates. Full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them. The factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to, recent adjusted historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.

In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company recorded anticipated U.S. income tax of $147 million, related to the gain on sale, which represents the net amount of U.S. tax after the utilization of available net operating loss carry-forwards and other tax attributes, under the more likely than not assumption the Korean withholding taxes as described further below will be refunded one to five years post-closing. This amount is reflected as discontinued operations income tax expense and the related liability is included in "Other non-current liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, including amounts attributable to discontinued operations, were $41 million and $60 million, respectively. Of these amounts approximately $39 million and $40 million represent the amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefit differs from that which would impact the effective tax rate due to uncertain tax positions embedded in other deferred tax attributes carrying a full valuation allowance. Since the uncertainty is expected to be resolved while a full valuation allowance is maintained, these uncertain tax positions should not impact the effective tax rate in current or future periods. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and related amounts accrued at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $4 million and $27 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

There were several items that impacted the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits resulting in a $4 million net reduction in income tax expense, inclusive of interest and penalties, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, of which $7 million income tax benefit was reflected in continuing operations, partially offset by $3 million income tax expense reflected in discontinued operations. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company received a favorable order from the Joint Commissioner of Income Tax in India related to numerous appeals in connection with assessments initiated over seven years ago associated with the transfer price used to value certain share transactions. During the first and second quarters of 2015, the Internal Revenue Service completed consecutive audits of the Company's U.S. climate affiliate for the 2011 through 2013 tax years. In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company eliminated substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits associated with the climate legal entities by $21 million. Also in connection with this transaction, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that impact the rate increased by $19 million to reflect the anticipated U.S. income tax related to the 2015 tax year after utilizing available tax attributes. As described further below, as a consequence of the Company abandoning its pursuit of further appeals related to the alleged underpayment of withholding tax on dividends paid from its Korean affiliates, the Company recorded $7 million of income tax expense related to dividends paid from its former Korean affiliates in 2013 and 2014.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2012 or state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2003 although U.S. net operating losses carried forward into open tax years technically remain open to adjustment. Although it is not possible to predict the timing of the resolution of all ongoing tax audits with accuracy, it is reasonably possible that certain tax proceedings in Europe and Asia (including Korea) could conclude within the next twelve months and result in a significant increase or decrease in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits including amounts attributable to discontinued operations is as follows:

During 2012, Brazil tax authorities issued tax assessment notices to Visteon Sistemas Automotivos (“Sistemas”) of approximately $15 million related to the sale of its chassis business to a third party. During 2013, after attempts to reopen an appeal of the administrative decision failed, Sistemas opened a judicial proceeding against the government to address the notice, which required a deposit in the amount of the assessment to suspend the debt and allow Sistemas to operate regularly before the tax authorities. The Company believes that the risk of a negative outcome is remote once the matter is fully litigated at the highest judicial level.

Appeal payments in Korea and Brazil, as well as contingent income tax refund claims associated with other jurisdictions, including applicable accrued interest income and exchange impacts, total $392 million as of June 30, 2015 and are included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Share Repurchase Program

As of January 1, 2014, a total of $875 million previously authorized by the Company's board of directors remained available for share repurchase. On May 8, 2014, the Company entered into an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $500 million and received an initial delivery of 3,394,157 shares of common stock using a reference price of $92.07, and an additional delivery of 1,129,001 shares of common stock following the conclusion of the hedge period which determined a certain minimum amount of shares guaranteed under a portion of the program that had a maximum per share price of $100.54. On October 15, 2014, the capped portion of the program concluded, and the Company received an additional 112,269 shares. The final settlement price for all shares delivered under the capped portion of the program was $96.19. On May 1, 2015, the uncapped portion of the program concluded and the Company received an additional 534,214 shares. The final settlement price for all shares delivered under the uncapped portion of the program was $97.25.

On June 11, 2015, the Company’s board of directors authorized an additional $125 million of share repurchase for a total of $500 million available through December 31, 2015. On June 16, 2015, the Company entered into a new ASB program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $500 million and received an initial delivery of 3,712,297 shares of common stock, which is approximately 80% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock expected to be repurchased under the ASB Agreement based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 15, 2015. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock during the term of the transaction, less an agreed discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASB Agreement. The final settlement of the transaction under the ASB Agreement is expected to occur by the end of 2015 but may be accelerated at the option of the third-party financial institution.

The Company anticipates that additional repurchases of common stock, if any, would occur from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions depending on market and economic conditions, share price, trading volume, alternative uses of capital and other.

Stock Warrants

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company received payments of $5 million and $15 million related to approximately 139,000 and 303,000 warrants, respectively, converted to shares of common stock at an exercise price of $58.80 per share.

NOTE 14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Visteon by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding. Performance based share units are considered contingently issuable shares, and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period and if the result would be dilutive.

Table of Contents

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

The impact of dilutive potential common stock is not taken into consideration in loss periods as the impact would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, dilutive potential common stocks have been excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as applicable.

NOTE 15. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.


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


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


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

Table of Contents

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and as further described in Note 3, "Discontinued Operations", the fair value of the assets and liabilities subject to the Interiors Divestiture were measured for an impairment test. For purposes of the recoverability test, the fair values of related assets and liabilities were determined using other observable inputs and were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Debt

The Company's fair value of debt excluding debt included in Liabilities held for sale was approximately $381 million and $613 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Fair value estimates were based on quoted market prices or current rates for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Accordingly, the Company's debt fair value disclosures are classified as Level 1, "Market Prices" and Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy, respectively.

Financial Instruments

Foreign Exchange Risk: The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends and investments in subsidiaries. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including forward and option contracts, to protect the Company’s cash flow from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed monthly and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company’s current primary hedged foreign currency exposures include the Euro, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies.

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

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had derivative instruments that consisted primarily of option and forward contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $259 million and $2,884 million, respectively, maturities of these instruments generally do not exceed eighteen months. Approximately $111 million and $655 million of the notional amounts of these instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, have been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" component of Stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and such gains and losses will be reclassified at the time the underlying hedged transactions are realized. The ineffective portion of these instruments is recorded as cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the impact of which is immaterial for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company entered into currency exchange derivatives with a notional amount of $150 million to manage foreign currency exposure on certain non-U.S. denominated foreign entities. These derivatives have been designated as hedges of the Company's net investments in European affiliates with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" component of Stockholder's equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. There was no ineffectiveness associated with these derivatives as of June 30, 2015 and the fair value of such derivatives is less than $1 million.

In December 2014, the Company entered into a foreign currency option contract with a notional amount of $2,229 million to manage foreign currency exposure on anticipated KRW denominated proceeds in connection with the Climate Transaction. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company entered into offsetting foreign currency option contracts and non-deliverable forwards with notional amounts of $2,229 million each to lower related premium expenses. Final settlement of these hedges occurred during the second quarter in connection with the closing of the Climate Transaction. The Company recorded losses of $3 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, reflecting the change in the fair value of the foreign currency option and forward contracts, which was classified as "Other (income) expense, net" in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk: The Company is subject to interest rate risk principally in relation to variable-rate debt. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with its risk management policies. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $150 million that effectively convert designated cash flows associated with underlying interest payments on the Term Facility from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate, the maturities of these swaps will not exceed the underlying Term Facility. The instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" component of Stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and such gains and losses will be reclassified at the time the underlying hedged transactions are realized. The ineffective portion of these swaps is assessed based on the hypothetical derivative method and is recorded as interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2015 there was no ineffectiveness associated with these derivatives and the fair value was less than $1 million.

The interest rate swaps 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 non-performance risk. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Accordingly, the Company's interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Statement Presentation

The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis. Derivative financial instruments designated and non-designated as hedging instruments are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as follows:

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments including cash equivalents, derivative contracts, and accounts receivable, expose the Company to counter-party credit risk for non-performance. The Company’s counterparties for cash equivalents and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company’s requirement of high credit standing. The Company’s counterparties for derivative contracts are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counter-party and through monitoring counter-party credit risks.

The Company's credit risk with any individual customer does not exceed ten percent of total accounts receivables except for Ford and its affiliates which represent 20% of the Company's accounts receivables the each of the periods ended at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and Mazda which represents 10% of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2015.

NOTE 16. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Claims

In 2003, the Local Development Finance Authority of the Charter Township of Van Buren, Michigan (the “Township”) issued approximately $28 million in bonds finally maturing in 2032, the proceeds of which were used at least in part to assist in the development of the Company’s U.S. headquarters located in the Township. During January 2010, the Company and the Township entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that, among other things, reduced the taxable value of the headquarters property to current market value and facilitated certain claims of the Township in the Company’s chapter 11 proceedings. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the Company would continue to negotiate in good faith with the Township in the event that property tax payments was inadequate to permit the Township to meet its payment obligations with respect to the bonds. In September 2013, the Township notified the Company in writing that it is estimating a shortfall in tax revenues of between $25 million and $36 million, which could render it unable to satisfy its payment obligations under the bonds. On May 12, 2015, the Township commenced a proceeding against the Company in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in connection with the foregoing. Upon the Company’s motion to dismiss, the Township dismissed the proceeding before the Delaware Bankruptcy Court and re-commenced the proceeding against the Company in the Michigan Wayne County Circuit Court on July 2, 2015. The Township is seeking a declaratory judgment that, among other things, the Company is responsible under the Settlement Agreement for payment of any shortfall in the bond debt service payments. The Company disputes the factual and legal assertions made by the Township and intends to vigorously defend the matter. The Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter.

In November 2013, the Company and HVCC, jointly filed an Initial Notice of Voluntary Self-Disclosure statement with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regarding certain sales of automotive HVAC components by a minority-owned, Chinese joint venture of HVCC into Iran. The Company updated that notice in December 2013, and subsequently filed a voluntary self-disclosure regarding these sales with OFAC in March 2014. In May 2014, the Company voluntarily filed a supplementary self-disclosure identifying additional sales of automotive HVAC components by the Chinese joint venture, as well as similar sales involving an HVCC subsidiary in China, totaling approximately $12 million, and filed a final voluntary-self disclosure with OFAC on October 17, 2014. OFAC is currently reviewing the results of the Company’s investigation. Following that review, OFAC may conclude that the disclosed sales resulted in violations of U.S. economic sanctions laws and warrant the imposition of civil penalties, such as fines, limitations on the Company's ability to export products from the United States, and/or referral for further investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. Any such fines or restrictions may be material to the Company’s financial results in the period in which they are imposed, but at this time is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter. Additionally, disclosure of this conduct and any fines or other action relating to this conduct could harm the Company’s reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The Company cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its own review of our voluntary self-disclosures or whether it may impose any of the potential penalties described above.

The Company's operations in Brazil are subject to highly complex labor, tax, customs and other laws. While the Company believes that it is in compliance with such laws, it is periodically engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws. As of June 30, 2015, the Company maintained accruals of approximately $7 million for claims aggregating approximately $108 million. The amounts accrued represent claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the Company's assessment of the claims and prior experience with similar matters.

Several current and former employees of Visteon Deutschland GmbH (“Visteon Germany”) filed civil actions against Visteon Germany in various German courts beginning in August 2007 seeking damages for the alleged violation of German pension laws that prohibit the use of pension benefit formulas that differ for salaried and hourly employees without adequate justification. Several of these actions have been joined as pilot cases. In a written decision issued in April 2010, the Federal Labor Court issued a declaratory judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the pilot cases. To date, more than 750 current and former employees have filed similar actions or have inquired as to or been granted additional benefits, and an additional 600 current and former employees are similarly situated. The Company's remaining reserve for unsettled cases is approximately $8 million and is based on the Company’s best estimate as to the number and value of the claims that will be made in connection with the pension plan. However, the Company’s estimate is subject to many uncertainties which could result in Visteon Germany incurring amounts in excess of the reserved amount of up to approximately $10 million.

During the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings, in December of 2009, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court granted the Company’s motion in part authorizing them to terminate or amend certain other postretirement employee benefits, including health care and life insurance. On December 29, 2009, the IUE-CWA, the Industrial Division of the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, and CLC (the “IUE”) appealed such decision to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. In March of 2010, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware affirmed the Delaware Bankruptcy Court's order in all respects, which the IUE appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In July 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed the order of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware as to the IUE and directed the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware to, among other things, direct the Delaware Bankruptcy Court to order the Company to take whatever action is necessary to immediately restore terminated or modified benefits to their pre-termination/modification levels. In August of 2010, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court ordered the Company to restore certain other postretirement employee benefits to the appellant-retirees but also to salaried retirees and certain retirees of the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”). In September of 2010, the Company reached an agreement with the original IUE appellants, which resulted in the Company not restoring other postretirement employee benefits of such retirees, and the Company appealed the Delaware Bankruptcy Court's decision to include the UAW non-appealing retirees to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. In September of 2010, the UAW also filed a complaint in the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment to prohibit the Company from terminating certain other postretirement employee benefits for UAW retirees after October 1, 2010. In July of 2012, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled in favor of the Company on its appeal, which the UAW appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In August of 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware’s rulings. The UAW filed a petition for rehearing, which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit denied on October 2, 2014.

On October 22, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan granted the Company’s motion to transfer the case back to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The UAW filed a petition for a writ of mandamus with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, requesting the court vacate the transfer of the case. In May 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals

Table of Contents

for the Sixth Circuit denied the UAW's petition. The UAW requested a panel rehearing or rehearing en banc, which was denied by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on August 13, 2014. On July 9, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware entered a judgment in favor of the Company, which the Company believes should resolve the matter.

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

As of June 30, 2015, the Company maintains an accrual for claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable. While the Company believes its accruals for litigation and claims are adequate, the final amounts required to resolve such matters could differ materially from recorded estimates and the Company's results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

Loan Guarantees and Commitments

The Company provided a $56 million revolving credit facility in connection with the Interiors Divestiture Master Closing. As of June 30, 2015, there were no draws on this facility. The seller-backed facility is expected to be reduced over the next several months as buyer credit facilities ramp up and the seller-backed facility can also be reduced if the buyer adds working capital facilities in Russia and Thailand. The seller-backed facility has a maturity of three years, an interest rate of Libor plus 5% and a default rate of interest for any interest and/or principal payment defaults. As of July 31,2015, this revolving credit facility to the buyer was reduced to $39 million as additional receivable financing became available to the buyer.

The Company provided a $40 million loan guarantee to Yanfeng Visteon Electronics (China) Investment Co., Ltd. ("YFVIC"), a 50% owned joint venture, in connection with the October 2014 YFVIC acquisition of a 49% direct ownership interest in Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. ("YFVE"). The guarantee contains standard non-payment provisions to cover the borrowers in event of non-payment of principal, accrued interest, and other fees for its five year tenor.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to the requirements of federal, state, local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations and ordinances. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge and waste management. The Company is also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at properties it presently owns or operates and at third-party disposal or treatment facilities to which these sites send or arranged to send hazardous waste. The Company is aware of contamination at some of its properties. These sites are in various stages of investigation and cleanup. The Company currently is, has been, and in the future may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures.

Costs related to environmental assessments and remediation efforts at operating facilities, previously owned or operated facilities, or other waste site locations are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are recorded at undiscounted amounts, based on experience and assessments, and are regularly evaluated. The liabilities are recorded in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the Company had recorded a reserve of less than $1 million for environmental matters. However, estimating liabilities for environmental investigation and cleanup is complex and dependent upon a number of factors beyond the Company’s control and which may change dramatically. Accordingly, although the Company believes its reserve is adequate based on current information, the Company cannot provide any assurance that its ultimate environmental investigation and cleanup costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current reserve.

Other Contingent Matters

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

Table of Contents

Contingencies are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Reserves have been established by the Company for matters discussed in the immediately foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of amounts, that cannot be estimated at June 30, 2015 and that are in excess of established reserves. The Company does not reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, based on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible.

NOTE 17. Segment Information

Financial results for the Company's reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision-making group in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision making group, comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments primarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measure) and operating assets.

Within each of the global product groups, certain facilities manufacture a broader range of the Company's total product line offering and are not limited to the primary product line.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, and in connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company classified its previously HVCC owned climate operations as discontinued operations for current and comparable periods. Certain Visteon wholly owned climate facilities with 2014 annual sales of approximately $125 million are subject to future negotiation under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and are classified within the Company's Other segment.

The Company’s current reportable segments are as follows:


•	Electronics - The Company’s Electronics product line includes audio systems, infotainment systems, driver information systems, connectivity and telematics solutions, climate controls, and electronic control modules.


•	Other - The Company’s Other product line includes certain South America and European operations previously associated with the Climate and Interiors businesses but not subject to discontinued operations classification.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company changed its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of discontinued operations. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods has been recast in a manner consistent with the Company's new definition.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies and (iii) the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is summarized below:



	Three Months Ended June 30						Six Months Ended June 30

Item 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2015, and the financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Description of Business

Shareholder Value Creation Plan

In September 2012, the Company announced a comprehensive shareholder value creation plan that has transformed and continues to transform the Company's business operations. The Company has completed the most significant objectives as outlined in the plan and is now well positioned to capture growth in the cockpit electronics market that is expected to grow at two times the pace of the overall automotive industry. Visteon will continue to operate as a publicly traded company with revenues primarily derived from its remaining Electronics business. The Company's Electronics business offers innovative vehicle cockpit electronic products to customers including audio systems, infotainment systems, driver information systems, connectivity and telematics solutions, climate controls, and electronic control modules.

A summary of the most recent significant activities of the shareholder value creation plan are summarized below.

On June 9, 2015, Visteon Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, VIHI, LLC (collectively, “Visteon”) completed the sale to Hahn & Co. Auto Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Hahn”) and Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. (“Hankook” and, together with Hahn, the “Purchasers”) of all of its shares of Halla Visteon Climate Control Corporation, a Korean corporation (“HVCC”), for approximately $3.4 billion, or KRW 52,000 per share, after adjusting for the 2014 dividend paid by HVCC to Visteon and exchange impacts (the “Climate Transaction”), pursuant to and in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2014 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), among Visteon and the Purchasers. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $2.7 billion and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $2.3 billion. See Note 3 "Discontinued Operations" for additional disclosures.

The agreement to purchase certain electronics operations located in India is expected to close in 2016 after legal separation and regulatory approvals are met. The Company has recorded a repurchase obligation of $50 million, representing the estimated purchase price of the subject business. The Company continues to consolidate the business, with net assets of approximately $22 million, based on the Company’s continued controlling financial interest. The Company’s controlling financial interest was evaluated based on continued operating control and obligation to fund losses or benefit from earnings. The business is included in a legal entity currently owned by HVCC and therefore the Electronics business assets are not available for general corporate purposes.

Based on current market conditions, the Company has announced its intention to return a portion of the Climate Transaction proceeds to stockholders, ranging from approximately $2.5 billion to $2.75 billion, through a structured series of actions including repurchases of common stock and/or a special dividend. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company entered into a $500 million accelerated share repurchase as the first of these shareholder return actions. The Company also prepaid $246 million on its Term Loan Facility and intends to use the remaining proceeds from the Climate Transaction for general corporate purposes, which may include investments in restructuring and strategic investments to support the continued expansion of the vehicle cockpit electronics business. As of June 30, 2015 the remaining cash related to the Climate Transaction proceeds is invested in a diversified portfolio of conservative cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, commercial paper rated A2/P2 and above with maturity under three months, and time deposits which mature under three months with highly rated banking institutions. The Company has $964 million in AAA rated money market mutual funds, all with daily liquidity, that are invested in high quality government and prime securities with asset values exceeding $15 billion per fund. The recorded value of such funds approximates fair value based on the nature of the investment. In July 2015, the Company placed $1 billion of the proceeds into separately managed accounts with two institutional money managers who will continue to invest the funds in conservative, diversified portfolios with a target four month average duration.

On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the global automotive electronics business of Johnson Controls Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $299 million funded with cash on hand, including $31 million of cash and equivalents at the acquired business. The operating results for the business acquired have been included in the Electronics segment from the date of acquisition. The Electronics Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the purchase price allocated on a preliminary basis as of July 2014.

In May 2014 Visteon reached an agreement to divest substantially all of its global Interiors business (the "Interiors Divestiture") pursuant to a Master Purchase Agreement, as subsequently amended. Effective November 1, 2014, the Company closed on the majority of the Interiors Divestiture (the "Master Closing"). Subsequent to the Master Closing, Visteon completed the sale of Interiors operations in India and Thailand on December 1, 2014 and February 2, 2015, respectively. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded additional losses and adjustments of $2 million and $16 million, respectively, in connection with the Interiors Divestiture, including $3 million attributable to the sale of operations in Thailand.

Remaining Interiors operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture are located in Argentina and Brazil and are expected to close during 2015. Assets and liabilities associated with these operations met the "held for sale" criteria at June 30, 2015 and were classified as "Other current assets" or "Other current liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. These remaining transactions are subject to various conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approvals, receipt of other third party consents and approvals and other customary closing conditions, and may be subject to further cash impacts based on purchase price adjustments at the time of closing. The Company expects to record losses in connection with the Argentina and Brazil portions of the Interiors Divestiture in future periods upon closing, which are estimated to be approximately $20 million.

In preparing the June 30, 2015, financial statements, the Company determined that an indicator of impairment existed in relation to the long-lived assets of the European Interiors operation that is not subject to the Interiors Divestiture. Accordingly, the Company performed a recoverability test utilizing a probability weighted analysis of cash flows associated with continuing the operations and estimated cash flows associated with the potential sale of the operations. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that the assets were not recoverable. However, no impairment was recorded as of June 30, 2015, as the fair value of the underlying assets were determined to be in excess of the respective carrying value. The Company continues to pursue strategic alternatives to fully divest of its remaining European Interiors operation. To the extent that a sale transaction becomes more likely to occur in future periods an impairment charge may be required and such charge could be material. Additionally, due to certain liabilities and capital requirements of this remaining business, Visteon may be required to contribute cash to such business in connection with any disposition and such amounts could be material. As of June 30, 2015, the Company did not meet the specific criteria considered necessary for the European Interiors operation to be considered held for sale.

Executive Summary

The Company's sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $812 million and were distributed by product group, geographic region, and customer as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

The Company conducts its business in the global automotive industry, which is capital intensive, highly competitive and sensitive to economic conditions. The Company's business is heavily concentrated in markets outside of the U.S. Accordingly, the Company is subject to primary attendant risks associated with foreign currency exchange and political factors. Additionally, the Company's business is highly sensitive to changes in the global economy that impact consumer spending and global vehicle production volumes.

During the second quarter of 2015 the global automotive industry continued to experience modest growth driven by China, Europe North America and India, partially offset by South America, Japan and Korea. Although the current year China production volume outlook has decreased from the beginning of the year, China production volumes have still increased on a year over year basis. Production in North America also increased based on continuing strength in demand, growing exports, and increased localization of production. Europe production showed a modest increase as a challenging Russian market offset steady growth in the rest of the region. Production in the remaining regions was mixed due to varying economic, political and social factors.

Sales

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $812 million, which represents an increase of $309 million compared with the same period of 2014. The Electronics Acquisition, which was effective July 1, 2014, increased sales by $344 million compared to the same period last year. Favorable volumes and product mix increased sales in the Electronics Product Group but this increase was offset by the wind-down of certain programs which impacted Other Product Group sales. Unfavorable currency decreased sales by $39 million, primarily attributable to the weakening Euro. Other reductions were associated with customer pricing, net of design savings.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased $267 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared with the same period in 2014. The increase includes $314 million attributable to increased production volumes, including the Electronics Acquisition, as well as changes in product mix, representing the variable nature of material and labor costs. Foreign currency decreased cost of sales by $35 million primarily attributable to weakening Euro. Net efficiencies related to material, design, and usage economics decreased cost of sales by $15 million. Warranty expense increased $6 million attributable to two customer actions related to defective supplier parts. The Company plans to pursue supplier reimbursement for these particular warranty issues in future periods. Other costs decreased by $3 million.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $99 million or 12.2% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $57 million or 11.3% of sales for the same period of 2014. The $42 million increase in gross margin included $45 million from favorable volumes and mix, including the impacts of the Electronics Acquisition. Gross margin also included $1 million of favorable net cost performance, driven by material and manufacturing cost efficiencies which more than offset customary pricing productivity given to customers and higher warranty and engineering costs. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable currency of $4 million primarily related to the weakening Euro.

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $65 million and $48 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is primarily related to the Electronics Acquisition, partially offset by Euro currency impacts and net efficiencies.

Restructuring Expense

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below) was $60 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, representing an increase of $31 million when compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $29 million for the same period of 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA included $30 million of favorable volume and mix, primarily attributable to the Electronics Acquisition. Currency movements were neutral for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as the favorable impact on selling, general and administrative expenses offset the unfavorable impact on gross margin. Favorable net cost performance impacted Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2015 by $1 million. Material and manufacturing cost efficiencies and lower selling, general and administrative expenses more than offset customer pricing, and increased warranty and engineering costs.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income attributable to the Company, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of discontinued operations, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, asset impairments, gains or losses on divestitures, net restructuring expenses and other reimbursable costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain employee charges and benefits, reorganization items and other non-operating gains and losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company changed its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of discontinued operations. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods has been recast in a manner consistent with the Company's new definition.

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

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Visteon for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, is as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30

Substantially all of the increases in Electronics cost of sales are attributable to the Electronic Acquisition effective July 1, 2014. These costs were partially offset by $29 million of favorable currency primarily related to the weakening Euro, and $18 million of material and manufacturing cost efficiencies. Increased warranty and engineering costs were a partial offset. Net engineering costs are comprised of gross engineering expenses related to forward model program development and advanced engineering activities, partially offset by engineering cost recoveries from customers. Gross engineering expenses were $94 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $39 million compared to the same period of 2014. Engineering recoveries were $14 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $5 million compared to the same period of 2014. Engineering cost recoveries can fluctuate period to period depending on underlying contractual terms and conditions and achievement of related development milestones.

(8) In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company has entered an agreement to purchase certain electronics operations located in India, expected to close in 2016 after legal separation and regulatory approvals are met. The Company has recorded a repurchase obligation of $50 million, representing the estimated purchase price of the subject business. The Company continues to consolidate the business, with net assets of approximately $22 million, based on the Company’s continued controlling financial interest. The Company’s controlling financial interest was evaluated based on continued operating control and obligation to fund losses or benefit from earnings. The business is included in a legal entity currently owned by HVCC and therefore the Electronics business assets are not available for general corporate purposes.The repurchase obligation is included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as "Other current liabilities" as of June 30, 2015.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded additional losses and adjustments related to the Interiors Divestiture of $16 million, including $3 million attributable to the sale of operations in Thailand. Consideration associated with the Interiors Divestiture remains subject to further adjustments including working capital adjustments.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income attributable to Visteon was $2,258 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net loss of $136 million for the same period of 2014. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included the Climate Transaction pre-tax gain of $2.3 billion, classified as income from discontinued operations and a $62 million gain on sale of its 12.5% ownership interest in Yanfeng Visteon Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Company, Limited.

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below) was $138 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing an increase of $66 million when compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $72 million for the same period of 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA included $63 million of favorable volume and mix, primarily attributable to the Electronics Acquisition. Currency movements unfavorably impacted Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2015 by $11 million, largely related to the weakening Euro. Favorable net cost performance impacted Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2015 by $14 million. Material cost efficiencies, and lower selling, general and administrative expense and engineering expense, more than offset customer pricing and increased warranty expense.

Table of Contents

March 31, 2015, the Company changed its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of discontinued operations. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods has been recast in a manner consistent with the Company's new definition.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Visteon for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, is as follows:

Electronics sales increased during the six months ended June 31, 2015 by $679 million. The largest driver of the sales increase was attributable to the Electronics Acquisition. Higher production volumes in Europe and Asia increased sales by $68 million. Unfavorable currency, primarily related to the Euro, decreased sales by $60 million. Other changes, totaling $20 million, reflected customer pricing net of design changes.

Other sales decreased during the six months end June 30, 2015 by $65 million, primarily reflecting the wind down of certain South America businesses and unfavorable currency of $13 million, primarily related to the Euro.

Substantially all of the increases in Electronics cost of sales are attributable to the Electronic Acquisition effective July 1, 2014. Warranty costs also increased by $6 million in comparison to the same period last year, attributable to two customer actions related to defective supplier parts. The Company plans to pursue supplier reimbursement for these particular warranty issues in future periods. These costs were partially offset by $42 million of favorable currency due to the weakening Euro and $33 million of material and manufacturing cost efficiencies. Net engineering costs are comprised of gross engineering expenses related to forward model program development and advanced engineering activities, partially offset by engineering cost recoveries from customers. Gross engineering expenses were $190 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $88 million compared to the same period of 2014. Engineering recoveries were $39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $25 million compared to the same period of 2014. Engineering cost recoveries can fluctuate period to period depending on underlying contractual terms and conditions and achievement of related development milestones.

Other segment cost of sales decreased by $67 million, primarily reflecting lower production volumes related to the wind down for certain programs in South America.

Electronics Adjusted EBITDA increased $63 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period of 2014. Higher volumes, including the Electronics Acquisition, and favorable product mix, increased Adjusted EBITDA by $68 million. Currency, primarily related to the Euro, had an unfavorable impact of $10 million. Other impacts of $5 million primarily reflected material and manufacturing cost efficiencies, partially offset by higher net engineering expense, customer price productivity and increased warranty expense. The increase in warranty expense was attributable to two customer actions related to defective supplier parts. The Company plans to pursue supplier reimbursement for these particular warranty issues in future periods.

Other Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $2 million compared to the same period of 2014 due to lower production volumes and the weakening Euro.

Liquidity

The Company’s primary liquidity needs are related to the funding of general business requirements, including working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, employee retirement benefits and restructuring actions. The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, asset sales, and borrowings under available credit facilities, if necessary. To the extent the Company generates discretionary cash flow, it will be evaluated for and may be used for optional prepayments of existing indebtedness, strategic acquisitions, additional share repurchases, and/or general corporate purposes.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had total cash balances of $2,866 million, including $9 million of restricted cash. Cash balances totaling $237 million were located in jurisdictions outside of the United States, of which approximately $133 million is considered permanently reinvested for funding ongoing operations outside of the U.S. If such permanently reinvested funds are needed for operations in the U.S., the Company would be required to accrue additional tax expense, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.

Table of Contents

The Company's ability to fund its liquidity needs is dependent on the level, variability and timing of its customers' worldwide vehicle production, which may be affected by many factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, specific industry conditions, financial markets, competitive factors and legislative and regulatory changes. The Company monitors the macroeconomic environment and its impact on vehicle production volumes in relation to the Company's specific cash needs. The Company's intra-year needs are impacted by seasonal effects in the industry, such as mid-year shutdowns, the subsequent ramp-up of new model production and the additional year-end shutdowns by primary customers.

Significant Cash Sources and Availability

To the extent that the Company's liquidity needs exceed cash provided by its operating activities, the Company would look to cash balances on hand which includes cash provided from its $350 million Term Facility that matures on April 9, 2021, or cash available through existing financing facilities such as its $200 million revolving credit facility that matures on April 9, 2019 ("Revolving Facility") or other affiliate working capital lines of credit, the sale of businesses or other assets as permitted under credit agreements, other contractual arrangements, and potential additional capital through debt or equity markets.

The Company originally entered into a $600 million delayed draw Term Loan Facility on April 9, 2014 and subsequently executed an Amendment to the Credit Agreement on March 25, 2015. The Amendment, among other things, provides for certain modifications to the Credit Agreement to permit Visteon’s sale of its ownership interest in HVCC (Climate Transaction) and otherwise to update the Credit Agreement to account for HVCC no longer being a subsidiary of Visteon following the Climate Transaction. While certain waivers granted under the Amendment became effective on March 25, 2015, the amendments relating to the Climate Transaction became effective concurrent with the consummation of the Climate Transaction on June 9, 2015. Under the Amendment, Term Lenders agree to waive a requirement of the Credit Agreement that 100% of the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the Climate Transaction be used to prepay the Term Loans so long as such net cash proceeds are used to prepay the Term Loans within five business days of the receipt of such net cash proceeds in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding after giving effect to such prepayment to no more than $350 million. In conjunction with the Amendment, the facilities were upgraded to BB and Ba3 by S&P and Moody's, respectively.

Visteon consummated the Climate Transaction on June 9, 2015 and subsequently paid down $246 million of term loan principal on June 12, 2015 to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding to approximately $350 million. In connection with the principal reduction, the 0.25% mandatory quarterly prepayment obligation was considered completed, and therefore the Company will cease making quarterly amortization payments.

As of June 30, 2015, $350 million face value was outstanding under the Term Facility, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. Availability under outstanding affiliate credit facilities as of June 30, 2015 is approximately $24 million.

Access to additional capital through the debt or equity markets is influenced by the Company's credit ratings. At June 30, 2015, the Company's corporate credit ratings were B1 by Moody's with a stable outlook and B+ by S&P with a positive outlook.

Climate Transaction

As of June 30, 2015 the remaining cash related to the Climate Transaction proceeds is invested in a diversified portfolio of conservative cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, commercial paper rated A2/P2 and above with maturity under three months, and time deposits which mature under three months with highly rated banking institutions. The Company has $964 million in AAA rated money market mutual funds, all with daily liquidity, that are invested in high quality government and prime securities with asset values exceeding $15 billion per fund. The recorded value of such funds approximates fair value based on the nature of the investment. In July 2015, the Company placed $1 billion of the proceeds into separately managed accounts with two institutional money managers who will continue to invest the funds in conservative, diversified portfolios with a target four month average duration.

Interiors Divestiture

In connection with the Interiors Divestiture, the Company agreed to provide a $56 million revolving credit facility to the buyer. As of June 30, 2015, there were no draws on this facility. Draws under this seller-backed facility will only be available if certain of the external credit facilities are fully drawn, and any draws on the seller-backed facility generally must be repaid prior to the repayment of the external credit facilities. The seller-backed facility has a maturity of three years, an interest rate of Libor plus 5% and a default rate of interest for any interest and/or principal payment defaults. As of July 31,2015, this revolving credit facility to the buyer was reduced to $39 million as additional receivable financing became available to the buyer.

The remaining Interiors Divestiture transactions are subject to various conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approvals, receipt of other third party consents and approvals and other customary closing conditions, and may be subject to further cash impacts based on purchase price adjustments at the time of closing, which amounts may be material.

The Company's goal is to complete the disposal of the European Interiors operation that was not part of the Interiors Divestiture, during 2015. Due to certain liabilities and capital requirements of the remaining Interiors business, Visteon may be required to contribute cash to such business in connection with any disposition, which amounts could be material.

Share Repurchase Program

Visteon's board authorized share repurchase of $875 million in 2014. On May 8, 2014, the Company announced an accelerated share buy-back ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to repurchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Approximately $250 million of this program was completed on October 15, 2014 at a final settlement price of $96.19. The remaining $250 million of this program concluded on May 1, 2015 at a final settlement price of $97.25. On June 11, 2015, the Company’s board of directors authorized an additional $125 million of share repurchase for a total of $500 million available for share repurchase. On June 16, 2015, the Company entered into a new ASB program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $500 million and received an initial delivery of 3,712,297 shares of common stock, which is approximately 80% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock expected to be repurchased under the ASB Agreement based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 15, 2015. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock during the term of the transaction, less an agreed discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASB Agreement. The final settlement of the transaction under the ASB Agreement is expected to occur by the end of 2015 but may be accelerated at the option of the third-party financial institution.

Restructuring

At June 30, 2015, the Company had restructuring accruals totaling $44 million, including amounts associated with discontinued operations. The Company anticipates that the activities associated with the restructuring reserve balance will be substantially completed by the first half of 2016. These accruals are primarily attributable to a restructuring program designed to achieve annual cost savings of approximately $70 million by the end of 2016 through synergies associated with the Electronics Acquisition. Through June 30, 2015, the Company has recorded approximately $49 million of restructuring expenses under this program, associated with approximately 1,000 employees, and expects to incur up to approximately $60 million of restructuring costs during the program.

Other

In connection with the Electronics Acquisition, the Company expects to incur total integration costs of $40 million, of which $27 million has been incurred through June 30, 2015. Of the integration costs incurred, $18 million were paid in 2014, and $9 million were paid in the first half of 2015. Remaining integration costs, primarily attributable to the migration of information systems, are expected to be incurred and paid by year ending December 31, 2015.

Cash contributions to non-U.S. retirement plans are expected to be $21 million during 2015 and cash contributions to U.S. retirement plans are expected to be $1 million during 2015. Estimated cash contributions for 2016 through 2018, under current regulations and market assumptions and including amounts associated with the European Interiors business plans, are approximately $36 million.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Climate Transaction, $377 million of Korean capital gains tax was withheld by the Purchasers and paid to the Korean government. The Company has initiated filings with the Korean tax authorities pursuing a refund of the capital gains tax pursuant to the applicable income tax treaty with Korea and believes it is more likely than not that such amount will be recovered over the subsequent one to five years. Also in connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company withdrew its appeals related to the alleged underpayment of withholding tax on dividends paid from its former Korean affiliates through 2012 and eliminated the various income tax refund claims previously recorded at the Climate legal entities. As a consequence of these actions, the Company established a long-term income tax receivable of $377 million and reduced its previous balance by approximately $12 million, of which $7 million was reflected in discontinued operations income tax expense and $5 million reflected as discontinued operations related to the gain on the Climate Transaction. During 2012, Brazilian tax authorities issued tax assessment notices to Visteon Sistemas Automotivos (“Sistemas”) of approximately $15 million related to the sale of its chassis business to a third party. During 2013, after attempts to reopen an appeal of the administrative decision failed, Sistemas opened a judicial proceeding against the government to address the notice which required a deposit in the amount of the assessment in order to suspend the debt and allow Sistemas to operate regularly before the tax authorities. The Company believes that the risk of a negative outcome is remote once the matter is fully litigated at the highest judicial level. These appeal payments in Korea and Brazil, as well as contingent income tax refund claims associated with other jurisdictions, total $392 million as of June 30, 2015 and are included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash Flows

The Company has combined cash flows from discontinued operations with cash flows from continuing operations within the operating, investing and financing categories in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the Company's consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented. As such, the discussion below includes both continuing and discontinued operations.

Operating Activities

Including discontinued operations, the Company generated $204 million of cash from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $127 million during the same period of 2014 for an increase of $77 million. The increase is primarily attributable to $57 million of lower working capital use primarily due to lower Hyundai volumes reducing HVCC working capital requirements, $12 million of delayed customer collections, $22 million of recoverable tax reimbursements primarily related to value-added taxes, $18 million of lower corporate annual incentive payments, $14 million of capitalized engineering recovery benefit, and $14 million of lower restructuring cash payments, offset by Climate Transaction related labor and incentive payments of $46 million and lower dividends received from unconsolidated affiliates of $5 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $2,604 million, compared to a cash use of $71 million for the same period in 2014, for a net increase of $2,675 million. The increase in cash from investing activities was primarily due to $2,664 million of Climate Transaction proceeds net of tax, transaction costs and divested cash balances, $91 million in proceeds from the sale of the Company's 12.5% ownership in Yanfeng Visteon Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Company, Limited, and a $5 million decrease in capital expenditures. These increases were partially offset by a $10 million shareholder loan to Yanfeng Visteon Investment Co., Ltd., a $15 million Interiors Divestiture working capital settlement, $5 million of cash transferred in connection with the Thailand Closing of the Interiors Divestiture and the non-recurrence of $58 million of proceeds from asset sales in 2014 including the sale of various interests owned by Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Electronics Co. Ltd. ("YFVE") and the sale of the Company's 50% ownership interest in Duckyang Industries Co., Ltd.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities of $769 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a cash use of $336 million for the same period in 2014, for a net use of $433 million. The change is primarily due to the prepayment on the Company's term facility including fees of $250 million for the six months ending June 30, 2015 as compared to net cash proceeds of $171 million during the same period of the prior year in which the Company redeemed 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (face value $400 million and redemption payment including premium of $419 million) and borrowed $600 million on the new Term Facility (face value $600 million and proceeds net of original issue discount and financing fees of $590 million). In addition, the Company had a $41 million use of cash primarily as a result of lower affiliate debt draws in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. These increases were partially offset by $14 million in lower dividends to non-controlling interests, primarily from the non-recurrence of a $10 million special dividend payment by YFVE made during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and higher cash received from option and stock warrant exercises of $10 million. The Company also launched a $500 million in accelerated share repurchase programs during both the second quarters of 2015 and 2014.

Debt and Capital Structure

Additional information related to the Company’s debt is set forth in Note 10, “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements included herein under Item 1. For additional information, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, for specific debt agreements and additional information related to covenants and restrictions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has a $15 million Letter of Credit ("LOC") Facility with US Bank National Association, which expires on September 30, 2015. Under the terms of the LOC facility, the Company must maintain a collateral account with U.S. Bank equal to 103% of the aggregated stated amount of the issued LOCs (or 110% for non-U.S. currencies) with reimbursement for any draws. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $7 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility and secured by restricted cash. In addition, the Company's affiliates had $5 million of locally issued letters of credit to support various customs arrangements and other obligations, with $1 million secured by cash collateral.

The Company provided a $40 million loan guarantee to Yanfeng Visteon Electronics (China) Investment Co., Ltd. ("YFVIC"), a 50% owned joint venture, in connection with the October 2014 YFVIC acquisition of a 49% direct ownership interest in YFVE. The guarantee contains standard non-payment provisions to cover the borrowers in event of non-payment of principal, accrued interest, and other fees for its five year tenor.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements in the preparation of its financial statements, utilizing 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.

In accounting for business combinations, the purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management's judgment, the utilization of independent appraisal firms and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future cash flows, market rate assumptions, actuarial assumptions, and appropriate discount rates, among other items.

In addition, to perform impairment testing for long-lived assets held and used, the Company occasionally engages independent appraisal firms with respect to the fair value of long-lived assets utilizing appraised values including cost and market approaches.

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 Company's use of derivative instruments is limited to mitigation of market risks, including hedging activities. However, derivative instruments are not used for speculative or trading purposes, as per clearly defined risk management policies. Additionally, the Company's use of derivative instruments creates exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter-party 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. Additionally, the Company's ability to utilize derivatives to manage market risk is dependent on credit conditions and market conditions given the current economic environment.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's 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, investments in subsidiaries and anticipated foreign currency denominated transaction proceeds. Where possible, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risks. Forward and option contracts may be utilized to protect the Company's cash flow from adverse movements in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed periodically and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company’s primary hedged foreign currency exposures include the Euro, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, and Indian Rupee. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies. As of June 30, 2015, the net fair value of foreign currency forward and option contracts was an asset of $2 million while at December 31, 2014, the net fair value of forward and option contracts was a liability of $12 million, maturities of these instruments generally do not exceed eighteen months.

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 $26 million and $238 million for foreign currency derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 Company's 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.

In addition to the transactional exposure described above, the Company's operating results are impacted by the translation of its foreign operating income into U.S. dollars. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate this exposure.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk, principally in relation to variable rate debt. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $150 million that effectively convert designated cash flows associated with underlying interest payments on the Term Facility from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate, the maturities of these swaps will not exceed the underlying Term Facility. The instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive income component of Stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and such gains and losses will be reclassified at the time the underlying hedged transactions are realized. The ineffective portion of these swaps is assessed based on the hypothetical derivative method and is recorded as interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2015 there was no ineffectiveness associated with these derivatives and the fair value was less than $1 million.

The Company significantly reduced interest rate exposure after the swap transactions by reducing variable rate basis of debt to approximately 58% from 99% as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Commodity Risk

The Company's exposures to market risk from changes in the price of production material are managed primarily through negotiations with suppliers and customers, although there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all such costs. The Company continues to evaluate derivatives available in the marketplace and may decide to utilize derivatives in the future to manage select commodity risks if an acceptable hedging instrument is identified for the Company's exposure level at that time, as well as the effectiveness of the financial hedge among other factors.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in periodic reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the global automotive electronics business of Johnson Controls Inc. (the "Electronics Acquisition") for an aggregate purchase price of $299 million, including $31 million of cash and equivalents at the acquired business. As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, management excluded entities acquired in the Electronics Acquisition from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. The acquired global electronics business of Johnson Controls represented approximately 12% of the Company's total assets as of December 31, 2014 and 9% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures, excluding all entities which were newly acquired in 2014. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company is integrating entities acquired in the Electronics Acquisition into the Company's operations, compliance programs and internal control processes. Specifically, as permitted by SEC rules and regulations, the Company has excluded these newly acquired entities from management's evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.
