Visteon Announces First-Quarter 2015 Results

VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., May 7, 2015 — Visteon Corporation (NYSE:VC) today announced first-quarter 2015 results, reporting sales of $2.03 billion and net income attributable to Visteon of $50 million, or $1.10 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was $189 million, compared with $161 million in the same period last year.

“We achieved strong quarterly adjusted EBITDA on the fundamental strength of our cockpit electronics businesses in a positive overall market, combined with benefits from engineering synergies and manufacturing costs,” said Tim Leuliette, president and CEO. “We continue to realize value for our customers and shareholders through the ongoing integration of the former Johnson Controls electronics business. With the upcoming sale of our ownership interest in Halla Visteon Climate Control Corp., we will be singularly focused on our profitable, technology-focused electronics business, where we are well-positioned to capitalize on dynamic growth of the connected vehicle ecosystem.”

Cash from operating activities in the first quarter totaled $173 million, compared with $96 million from the same period in 2014. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was $139 million for the first quarter of 2015.

First Quarter in Review

Visteon reported first-quarter sales of $2.03 billion, an increase of $311 million compared with the same quarter a year earlier. Hyundai-Kia accounted for approximately 31 percent of those sales and Ford Motor Company 26 percent. On a regional basis, Asia accounted for 48 percent of sales; Europe 29 percent; North America 21 percent; and South America 2 percent. An additional $22 million of sales was classified as discontinued operations.

Electronics sales totaled $781 million, an increase of $342 million from the first quarter last year. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the global automotive electronics business of Johnson Controls Inc., effective July 1, 2014. Climate sales of $1,240 million were $28 million lower year-over-year. The decrease reflected unfavorable currency, partially offset by higher volumes.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2015 was $212 million, compared with $179 million a year earlier. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $96 million, or 4.7 percent of sales, for the first quarter of 2015, compared with $81 million, or 4.7 percent of sales, a year earlier. Year-over-year results for gross margin and SG&A were both impacted by the Johnson Controls electronics acquisition. The $33 million increase in gross margin also included higher sales volume and new business impacts, along with cost efficiencies, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable currency.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2015 was $189 million, compared with $161 million for the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting the impact of the JCI electronics acquisition, favorable volume and new business, and positive cost performance, partially offset by currency impacts.

For the first quarter of 2015, the company reported net income attributable to Visteon of $50 million, or earnings per share of $1.10 per diluted share. First-quarter net income included an income tax benefit of $33 million related to favorable audit developments, a loss of $23 million related to discontinued operations, and $18 million of restructuring, transformation and integration costs. Adjusted net income, which excluded restructuring and other transaction costs, was $93 million, or $2.04 per diluted share.

Sale of Ownership Interest in Halla Visteon Climate Control

During the first quarter, Visteon received all antitrust approvals required for the previously announced sale of its approximate 70 percent ownership interest in Halla Visteon Climate Control Corp. (HVCC) to an affiliate of Hahn & Company – a South Korea-based private equity company – and Hankook Tire Co. Ltd. Completion of the transaction is subject to, among other things, the approval of Visteon’s shareholders at a special meeting May 18. Assuming shareholder approval is received, Visteon expects the transaction to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2015.

Cash and Debt Balances

As of March 31, 2015, Visteon had global cash balances totaling $916 million. Total debt as of March 31 was $957 million. Included in the balances was HVCC cash of $462 million and HVCC debt of $346 million.

For the first quarter of 2015, Visteon generated $173 million of cash from operations, compared with $96 million in the same period a year earlier. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $55 million, $3 million higher than the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted free cash flow was $139 million in the quarter, compared with $64 million generated in the first quarter of 2014. Visteon generated $12 million of cash from operations related to the Electronics Product Group and Corporate costs. Electronics capital expenditures totaled $23 million, and adjusted free cash flow for Electronics and Corporate totaled $6 million in the quarter, which includes a $33 million seasonal investment in working capital.

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 operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of 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. 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 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) because 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 flow 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 and transformation-related payments. Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow include amounts associated with discontinued operations. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow 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 U.S. 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.

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 and other non-operating gains and losses, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of discontinued operations. 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.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be a substitute for profitability. Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share have limitations as analytical tools as they do not consider certain restructuring and transaction-related payments and/or expenses. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share for planning and forecasting future periods.
