VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Nov. 7, 2013 — Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC) today announced third-quarter 2013 results, reporting year-over-year increases in sales and net income.

Visteon reported third-quarter sales of $1.73 billion, an increase of $109 million compared with the same quarter a year earlier. Net income attributable to Visteon of $43 million ($0.85 per diluted share) increased $28 million ($0.57 per diluted share) compared with $15 million ($0.28 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2012. Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was $160 million, increasing from $134 million in the same period last year.

“We sustained strong performance in the third quarter and continue to benefit from the momentum of our value-creating strategic plan,” said Tim Leuliette, president and CEO. “Fueled by strong technology, we achieved year-over-year improvement in our core climate and electronics businesses. We continue to effectively manage fixed costs, including focusing engineering expenses on technology areas that will drive growth in those businesses. I am pleased that our share repurchase program continues to return value to shareholders.”

Year-to-date cash from operating activities was $179 million, an increase of $16 million compared with 2012. Cash from operating activities in the third quarter totaled $21 million, decreasing $135 million compared with the same period in 2012, driven by the timing of dividends and working capital. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was $96 million year-to-date and a use of $1 million for the third quarter of 2013.

Other Developments

As part of Visteon’s authorized share repurchase program, the company in August 2013 entered into a $125 million accelerated stock buyback program, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. A total of $875 million remains authorized and available for repurchase through Dec. 31, 2015.

On Aug. 12, 2013, Visteon entered into an agreement with Huaya Automotive Systems Company Limited (HASCO), Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. (YFV), and Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. (YFVE) to sell its 50 percent ownership interest in YFV for cash proceeds of $928 million, and to sell its ownership interests in other interiors joint ventures to Yanfeng for additional cash proceeds aggregating $96 million. In addition, Visteon agreed to an additional investment of $58 million into YFVE in exchange for additional equity resulting in a 51 percent controlling equity interest in YFVE. Visteon is also entitled to distributions of approximately $200 million associated with Yanfeng and affiliate earnings. In total, Visteon expects to receive approximately $1.2 billion in cash payments related to these transactions. The transactions are subject to customary government and regulatory approvals; they are expected to be completed in multiple stages, with the initial closing in late 2013 or early 2014 representing approximately 90 percent of the economic interests, and with remaining elements to be substantially completed by June 2015.

Third Quarter in Review

Hyundai-Kia accounted for approximately 34 percent of Visteon’s third-quarter sales, with Ford Motor Company accounting for 28 percent, Renault-Nissan 7 percent and PSA Peugeot-Citroën 4 percent. On a regional basis, Asia accounted for 45 percent of sales, Europe represented 30 percent, North America 20 percent and South America 5 percent.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2013 was $143 million, compared with $129 million a year earlier. Gross margin increased $14 million year-over-year, reflecting higher sales volume and new business impacts. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $87 million, or 5.0 percent of sales, for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $89 million, or 5.5 percent of sales, a year earlier.

During the third quarter of 2013, Visteon recognized $48 million of equity in the net income of non-consolidated affiliates, including $45 million from Visteon’s 50 percent-owned affiliate, YFV, and related affiliated interests. Visteon recognized $38 million of equity in the net income of non-consolidated affiliates in the third quarter of 2012.

For the third quarter of 2013, the company reported net income attributable to Visteon of $43 million, or $0.85 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 was $160 million, compared with $134 million for the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting favorable volume, new business and higher equity income.

Third Quarter Results by Segment

Climate sales totaled $1.131 billion during the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $107 million compared with the same quarter last year. Higher production volumes and new business increased sales year-over-year, with the largest increases in Asia Pacific and Europe.

Electronics sales were $340 million during the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $36 million compared with the same period in 2012. Higher production volumes increased sales year-over-year in all regions, with the largest increases in North America and Europe.

Interiors sales were $293 million during the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $14 million, compared with the third quarter of 2012. The sales decrease was primarily in Europe and South America in connection with weakened economic conditions.

Cash and Debt Balances

As of Sept. 30, 2013, Visteon had global cash balances totaling $862 million, including restricted cash of $25 million. Total debt as of Sept. 30, 2013, was $807 million.

For the third quarter of 2013, Visteon generated $21 million of cash from operations, compared with $156 million in the same period a year earlier. The $135 million decrease was primarily driven by the timing of dividends and working capital. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $50 million, up from $44 million in the third quarter of 2012. Adjusted free cash flow was a use of $1 million in the quarter, compared with proceeds of $120 million in the third quarter of 2012.

Full-Year 2013 Outlook

Visteon increased its full-year 2013 guidance for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted earnings per share. The company projects 2013 sales of $7.4 billion, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $680 million to $700 million, adjusted free cash flow in the range of $145 million to $185 million, and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $5.00 to $6.26.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited, Dollars in Millions)

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company’s continuing operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Visteon, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of asset impairments, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, net restructuring expenses and other reimbursable costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain non-recurring employee charges and benefits, reorganization items, and other non-operating gains and losses. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under 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 similar measures for compliance with certain covenants.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow and adjusted free cash are presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s liquidity that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, as further adjusted for restructuring payments net of customer recoveries, transformation and reorganization-related payments. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be a substitute for cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools as they do not reflect cash used to service debt and do not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. In addition, the Company uses Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (i) as factors in incentive compensation decisions and (ii) for planning and forecasting future periods.


VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited, Dollars in Millions)

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are presented as supplemental measures that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company’s profitability. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income attributable to Visteon plus net restructuring expenses, reorganization items, discontinued operations and other non-operating gains and losses. The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
