PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Company

On April 15, 2014, Federal-Mogul Corporation completed a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the outstanding shares of Federal-Mogul Corporation common stock were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation common stock, and all of the stockholders of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Reorganization automatically became stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. The rights of stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation are generally governed by Delaware law and Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are the same in all material respects as those of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Reorganization. In addition, the board of directors of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation and its Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are composed of the same members as the board of directors, Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of Federal-Mogul Corporation prior to the Reorganization.

References herein to the “Company,” “Federal-Mogul,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Federal-Mogul Corporation for the period prior to the effective time of the Reorganization on April 15, 2014 and to Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation for the period after the effective time of the Reorganization.

On September 3, 2014, we announced a plan to separate our Powertrain and Motorparts divisions into two independent, publicly-traded companies serving the global original equipment and aftermarket industries.

On January 15, 2016, we announced a termination of the previously announced spin-off of our Motorparts division. We will continue to operate with two separate, independent businesses with separate CEOs who will each report directly to our board of directors. The separate businesses more effectively serve their unique markets and allow each operating business to pursue its business strategy and more quickly react to our respective market conditions.

Interests Held by an Entity Controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn

An entity indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Icahn filed a Schedule 13D and amendments therein with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating that such entity has a beneficial interest in approximately 81.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, Mr. Icahn has the indirect ability to nominate and elect all of the directors on our board of directors. Under applicable law and our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, certain actions cannot be taken without the approval of holders of a majority of our voting stock including, without limitation, mergers, the sale of substantially all of our assets, and amendments to our certificate of incorporation and by-laws. So long as Mr. Icahn continues to control a majority of our outstanding capital stock, he will continue to have these governance rights and the ability to control Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation.

Business Overview

We are a leading global supplier of technology and innovation in vehicle and industrial products for fuel economy, emissions reduction and safety systems. We serve the world’s foremost original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and servicers (“OES”) (collectively “OE”) of automotive, light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, off-road, agricultural, marine, rail, aerospace, power generation and industrial equipment, as well as the worldwide aftermarket. We seek to participate in both of these markets by leveraging our original equipment product engineering and development capability, manufacturing know-how, and expertise in managing a broad and deep range of replacement parts to service the aftermarket. We believe that we are uniquely positioned to effectively manage the life cycle of a broad range of products to a diverse customer base. We are a leading technology supplier and a market share leader in several product categories. As of December 31, 2015, we had current OEM products included on more than 300 global vehicle platforms and more than 700 global powertrains used in light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles. We offer premium brands, OE replacement, and entry/mid level products for all aftermarket customers. This broad range of vehicle and powertrain applications reinforces our belief in our unique market position.

We operate with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain segment focuses on original equipment powertrain products for automotive, heavy duty, and industrial applications. The Motorparts segment sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket including more than 20 globally-recognized brands. We also serve original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, wipers, and a limited range of chassis. This organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and enables us to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with our premium brands. Additionally, this organizational model enhances management focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic or acquisition

growth, profit improvement, capital allocation, and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases and business models.

Powertrain offers its customers a diverse array of market-leading products for OE applications, including pistons, piston rings, piston pins, cylinder liners, engine valves, valve seats and guides, ignition products, dynamic seals, bonded piston seals, combustion and exhaust gaskets, static gaskets and seals, rigid heat shields, engine bearings, industrial bearings, bushings and washers, element resistant systems protection sleeving products, acoustic shielding, and flexible heat shields. Motorparts offers powertrain products, typically manufactured by Powertrain, and is also a leading global manufacturer and distributor of brake disc pads, brake linings, brake blocks, brake system components, chassis and driveline products, engine gaskets and seals, wipers, lighting, and other product lines to OE and aftermarket customers. Motorparts markets its products under more than 20 globally recognized brands through a global distribution network.

We have manufacturing facilities, technical centers, distribution centers, and warehouses in 25 countries. Accordingly, our reporting segments derive sales from both domestic and international markets. The attendant risks of our international operations are primarily related to currency fluctuations, changes in local economic and political conditions, extraterritorial effects of United States laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and changes in laws and regulations.

This business serves leading U.S. aftermarket customers with chassis products and broadened Motorparts product offering and customer base while also providing operational synergies. The purchase price was $149 million, net of acquired cash.

See Note 5, Acquisitions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of this report.

Divestitures. In connection with our strategic planning process, we assess our operations for market position, product technology and capability, and profitability. Those businesses determined by management not to have a sustainable competitive advantage are considered non-core and may be considered for divestiture or other exit activities. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell one of our subsidiaries located in France, which has been presented in the consolidated balance sheet as held for sale.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we divested our sintered components operations located in France, our connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada, our camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom, and our fuel pump business, which included an aftermarket business component and a manufacturing and research and development facility located in the United States. These divestitures have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.

See Note 6, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of this report.

Restructuring Activities. Our restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute management’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions and productivity improvements. Restructuring activities include efforts to integrate and rationalize our businesses and to relocate manufacturing operations to best cost markets.

During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recorded $89 million, $86 million and $40 million in net restructuring expenses. Our restructuring activities are further discussed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 3, Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairments, to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8 of this report.

Products

The following provides an overview of products manufactured and distributed by our reporting segments.

Powertrain. The Powertrain segment primarily represents our OE business in powertrain-related components and systems. In 2015, about 94% of Powertrain’s revenue was derived from OE customers, with the remaining 6% of revenue coming directly from the Motorparts segment for eventual distribution, by Motorparts, to customers in the independent aftermarket.

Powertrain operates 84 manufacturing sites in 19 countries, serving a large number of major automotive, heavy-duty, marine and industrial customers worldwide. Powertrain derived 35% of 2015 OE sales in North America, 46% in Europe, the Middle-East and Africa ("EMEA") and 19% in the rest of the world (“Rest of World” or “ROW”).

We are one of the world’s leading powertrain component and assembly providers. Comprehensive design capability and an extensive product portfolio enable effective delivery of a broad range of engine and driveline components as well as engineered solutions to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions or enhance vehicle performance and durability. Powertrain products are used in automotive, motorcycle, light truck, heavy-duty, industrial, commercial equipment (construction, agricultural, power generation, marine and railway), aerospace, and small air-cooled engine applications. The following provides a description of the various products manufactured by Powertrain:



Product	Description

Pistons	The main task of the piston is to compress the air and fuel mixture in advance of ignition. Following combustion, the piston relays the combustion energy into mechanical energy. In this process, substantial pressures are exerted on the piston, imposing high demands on it in terms of rigidity and temperature resistance.

Piston Rings	The three main tasks of piston rings in internal combustion engines include: (1) sealing the combustion chamber, (2) supporting heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall, and (3) regulating lubrication and oil consumption.

Piston Pins	Piston pins attach the piston to the end of the connecting rod, allowing the piston to pivot in each cycle of the engine and following the revolution of the crankshaft.

Cylinder Liners	Cylinder liners, or sleeves are specially engineered where surfaces formed within the engine block, working in tandem with the piston and ring, as the chamber in which the thermal energy of the combustion process is converted into mechanical energy.

Valve Seats and Guides	Valve seats and guides are a wide variety of powdered metal inserts used in engines and general industrial applications, which are specially designed to meet customer requirements for extreme hardness.

Engine Valves	Engine valves are used to control the air and fuel flow into and out of the cylinders, facilitating the combustion process. Valve designs consist of mono, bimetallic and hollow valves depending on application, which includes automotive and various industrial requirements including marine and power generation. The product line also provides other related valve train components including cotters, rotators and retainers.

Engine Bearings	Engine bearings provide an intermediate surface between the connecting rod and crankshaft and between the crankshaft and engine block. Their purpose is to facilitate the conversion of combustion energy into mechanical energy by allowing low-friction movement of the connecting rods and crankshaft when absorbing the power created in the combustion chamber. They operate principally under hydrodynamic lubrication conditions. The bearing product line includes lead-free aluminum engine bearings commonly used in gasoline engines and bronze bearings used in highly-loaded compression engines such as diesel or gasoline turbocharged models.




Industrial Bearings	Sold under the Deva^®and Glycodur^® brands, industrial bearings are primarily dedicated to applications operating in mixed or low lubrication conditions. Applications are mainly diverse industrial motors or converters and include wind turbines and hydroelectric power generation equipment.

Bushings and Washers	Bushings and washers are used in engines and transmissions to ensure low friction rotation or oscillation of shafts. They are made of bronze, aluminum or polymer material.

Ignition	Ignition products include spark plugs, glow plugs, ignition coils and accessories for automotive commercial and industrial applications.

Dynamic Seals	Dynamic seals are used between a housing or body structure and rotating or moving shafts to contain lubricants, fluids and pressure inside the housing, while keeping out dust and other contaminates. There are numerous areas of application including engine crankshaft, transmission driveshaft, pinion and axle, and wheel seals.

Bonded Piston Seals	Bonded piston seals use hydraulic pressure in transmissions to facilitate gearshift. These products are used in automatic, dual clutch transmissions and continuously variable transmissions.

Combustion and Exhaust Gaskets	Combustion and exhaust gaskets are used between two surfaces to contain gas and pressure produced from combustion. These gaskets are primarily used on internal combustion engine applications including cylinder head, exhaust manifold, exhaust takedown, exhaust gas recirculation and turbocharger gaskets.

Static Gaskets and Seals	Static gaskets and seals create a barrier between two surfaces to contain fluids, pressure and gases while keeping out dust and other contaminants. There are numerous areas of application including engine covers, oil pans, intake manifolds, transmission covers and differential covers.

Rigid Heat Shields	Rigid heat shields are designed to provide a heat and sound barrier to emitting components. These products cover a full range of application on a vehicle from engine to tailpipe.

Flexible Heat Shields	Flexible heat shields are designed to provide a heat barrier and for thermal management usually in the engine compartment.

Element Resistant Sleeving	Element resistant sleeving products provide protection of wires, hoses, sensors, and mechanical components and assemblies from heat, electro-magnetic interference, dirt, vibration and moisture. Element resistant sleeving products include: • automotive wire harnesses and hoses; • abrasion protection and wire management of cable assemblies; • dielectric protection of electrical leads; • thermal and mechanical protection of hose assemblies; and • acoustic insulating and sound-dampening materials.

Lighting	Automotive lighting products include power and lighting systems, and interior and exterior lighting components.

Motorparts. Motorparts sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global vehicle aftermarket while also serving the OE market with products including braking, wipers, and chassis. In 2015, approximately 73% of Motorparts’ sales were derived from sales to customers in the aftermarket and approximately 27% were attributable to sales to the OE market. Motorparts operates 32 manufacturing sites in 15 countries and 35 distribution centers and warehouses in 13 countries. In 2015, Motorparts derived 56% of sales in North America, 37% in EMEA and 7% in Rest of World.

Motorparts’ products are designed to solve a problem, facilitate installation and improve safety, durability, and vehicle performance. Motorparts’ products are utilized widely in vehicle braking systems and chassis, as well as in engine and sealing applications and general service. Through global market insight, supply chain expertise, and brand and product line management, aftermarket and OE customers worldwide benefit from our innovative technology, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution capabilities.

The following table sets forth a description of the principal products manufactured and/or sold by Motorparts:

Light Vehicle Disc Pads	A light vehicle disc pad assembly consists of: friction material, which dissipates forward momentum by converting energy into heat; underlayer, which is a layer of different friction material placed between the backplate and friction material to improve strength, provide a thermal barrier, corrosion resistance, noise performance or a combination of these characteristics; backplate, to support and locate the friction material in the caliper; and shim, which is a rubber/metal laminate developed to suppress noise.	Wagner^®, Abex^®, Ferodo^®, Jurid^®, Stop^®, QuickStop^®, ThermoQuiet^®, and OE^x^®

Commercial Vehicle Disc Pads	Commercial vehicle disc brake pads are a growing segment of the friction market, superseding drum brakes on trucks, buses, tractor units and trailers. The basic construction of a commercial vehicle disc pad is the same as a light vehicle disc pad.	Ferodo^®, Beral^®, Abex^® and Stop^®

Light Vehicle Drum Brake Linings	Drum brake linings are friction material affixed to a brake shoe and fitted on the rear service brake, rear parking brake and/or transmission brake application.	Ferodo^® and Wagner^®

Commercial Vehicle Full Length Linings	Full length linings are the commercial vehicle equivalent of light vehicle drum brake linings.	Ferodo^®, Beral^®, Abex^® and Jurid^®

Commercial Vehicle Half Blocks	Half blocks are segments of friction material made to be riveted onto drum brake shoes. They are used on heavier vehicle applications where discs are not used.	Ferodo^®, Beral^®, Abex^® and Jurid^®

Railway Brake Blocks	Railway brake blocks work by acting on the circumference of the wheel. They are lighter and quieter in operation than cast iron blocks. However, friction performance is designed to replicate that of cast iron blocks.	Ferodo^® and Jurid^®

Chassis	Chassis parts include ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar links, idler arms, pitman arms, and control arms. These components affect vehicle steering and vehicle ride quality.	MOOG^® and QuickSteer^®

Driveline Universal Joints	Driveline universal joints which provide a linkage between a power unit and output device such as a wheel end or service device.	MOOG^®

Combustion and Exhaust Gaskets	Combustion and exhaust gaskets are used between two surfaces to contain gas and pressure produced from combustion. These gaskets are primarily used on internal combustion engine applications including cylinder head, exhaust manifold, exhaust takedown, exhaust gas recirculation and turbocharger gaskets.	Fel-Pro^®, Payen^® and Goetze^®

Static Gaskets and Seals	Static gaskets and seals create a barrier between two surfaces to contain fluids, pressure and gases while keeping out dust and other contaminants. There are numerous areas of application including engine covers, oil pans, intake manifolds, shaft seals, transmission covers and differential covers.	Fel-Pro^®, Payen^®, Goetze^® and National^®

Wipers	Windshield wiper parts include conventional and profile style wiper blades, blade refills, and wiper arms.	ANCO^®

Filters	Filtration parts include oil, air, cabin, fuel and other filters for both light and commercial vehicles. These components prevent harmful contaminants contained in liquids and gases from passing through vehicle components and potentially leading to premature wear or failure.	Champion^®



Pistons	The main task of the piston is to compress the air and fuel mixture in advance of ignition. Following combustion, the piston relays the combustion energy into mechanical energy. In this process, substantial pressures are exerted on the piston, imposing high demands on it in terms of rigidity and temperature resistance.	Sealed Power^®, Speed Pro^®, FP Diesel^® and Nüral^®

Piston Rings	The three main tasks of piston rings in internal combustion engines are (1) sealing the combustion chamber, (2) supporting heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall and (3) regulating lubrication and oil consumption.	Sealed Power^®, Speed Pro^®, FP Diesel^® and Goetze^®

Cylinder liners	Cylinder liners, or sleeves, are specially engineered where surfaces form within the engine block, working in tandem with the piston and ring, as the chamber in which the thermal energy of the combustion process is converted into mechanical energy.	FP Diesel^® and Goetze^®

Ignition	Ignition products include spark plugs, glow plugs, ignition coils and accessories for automotive, commercial and industrial applications.	Champion^® and Beru^®

Lighting	Replacement vehicle lighting products for automotive and commercial applications	Wagner^®

Industry

The automotive light vehicle market, as well as the medium duty/heavy duty commercial market, is comprised of two primary segments: the OE market in which our products are used in the manufacture of new vehicles and OE dealer service parts ("OES"), and the global aftermarket, in which our products are used as replacement parts for all vehicles in operation on the road, including all previous models.

The OE Market. Demand for component parts in the OE market is generally a function of the number of new vehicles produced, which is driven by macro-economic conditions and other factors such as interest rates, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment trends, regulatory requirements, and trade agreements. Although OE demand is tied to planned vehicle production, parts suppliers also have the opportunity to grow through increasing their product content per vehicle, by increasing market share and by expanding into new or emerging markets. Companies with a global presence, leading technology and innovation, and advanced product engineering, manufacturing and customer support capabilities are best positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.

There are currently several significant trends that are effecting the OE market, including the following:


•	Global Production – The global light and commercial vehicle production in developed markets during 2015 and 2014 was as follows:



	Global Light and Commercial Vehicle Production
	2015	2014
	(Millions of Vehicles)
Americas	21.3	21.4
EMEA	23.3	22.3
Asia	46.5	45.7

While global OE production increased at a moderate pace, the demand for parts, including products produced by us also increased moderately during 2015 due to solid demand in the Americas and Asia.

•

Automotive Supply Consolidation – Consolidation within the automotive supply base is expected to continue as the entire industry evolves and as the industry responds to the need to achieve economies of scale and global capabilities to serve vehicle manufacturers who are increasingly global in their production. Suppliers will seek opportunities to achieve synergies in their operations through consolidation, while striving to acquire complementary businesses to improve global competitiveness or to strategically enhance a product offering to global customers.

•

Globalization of Automotive Industry – OEs are increasingly designing global platforms where the basic design of the vehicle is performed in one location, but the vehicle is produced and sold in numerous geographic markets to realize significant economies of scale by limiting variations across product designs and geographic regions. While developed markets in North America and Europe continue to remain important to OEs, increased focus is being placed upon expanded design, development, and production within emerging markets for growth opportunities, especially in India

and China. As a result, suppliers must be prepared to provide product and technical resources in support of their customers within these emerging markets. Furthermore, OEs are moving their operations to best cost geographies outside the U.S. and Western European markets and, accordingly, OEs are increasingly requiring suppliers to provide parts on a global basis. Finally, the Asian OEs continue to expand their reach and market share in relation to traditional North American and European manufacturers. As this trend is expected to continue into the foreseeable future, suppliers must be geographically and technically positioned to meet the needs of the Asian OEs.

•

Focus on Fuel Economy, Reduced Emissions and Alternative Energy Sources – Increased fuel economy and decreased vehicle emissions are of great importance to OEs as legislators and customers continue to demand more efficient and cleaner operating vehicles. Increasingly stringent fuel economy standards and environmental regulations are driving OEs to focus on new technologies including downsized, higher output and turbocharged gasoline engines, diesel and turbocharged diesel, bio-mass and hybrid diesel applications, and hybrid electric and alternative energy engines. As a result, the number of powertrain configurations will increase in response to the proliferation of commercially available energy sources. Suppliers offering solutions to OEs related to numerous vehicle fuel and powertrain configurations possess a distinct competitive advantage, which is driving accelerated new product development cycles.

•

Focus on Vehicle Safety – Vehicle safety continues to receive industry attention by OEs as customers view safety as a fundamental driver in consumer purchasing decisions and legislation looks on improved vehicle safety as a public health issue. Accordingly, OEs are seeking suppliers with new technologies, capabilities, and products that have the ability to advance vehicle safety. Suppliers that are able to enhance vehicle safety through innovative products and technologies have a distinct competitive advantage.

•

Pricing Pressures – OEs provide extensive pricing incentives and financing alternatives to consumers in order to generate sales of new vehicles and retain or gain market share. These actions, coupled with the increasing content required to meet regulations, have placed pressures on the OEs’ profits and, in turn, the OEs expect certain recovery from their supply base. Suppliers must continually identify and implement product innovation and cost reduction activities to fund customer annual price concession expectations in order to retain current business as well as to be competitively positioned for future new business opportunities.

•

Raw Material Cost Fluctuations – There have been significant fluctuations in recent periods in global prices of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, platinum, resins, steel, other base raw materials, and energy. Suppliers must continue to identify leading design and innovative technological solutions and material substitution options in order to retain a competitive advantage to the extent that cost increases are not passed on to customers.

•

Energy, Industrial and Transport Markets – Customers continue to develop alternatives to historic infrastructure in the energy, industrial and transport markets. This includes power generators and other power conversion devices as well as growth in the aerospace and high speed railway markets and ocean transport. Suppliers with the capability to utilize automotive expertise to service these and other related markets have a competitive advantage.

The Aftermarket Business. Products for the global vehicle aftermarket are sold directly to a wide range of distributors, retail parts stores and mass merchants that distribute these products to professional service providers, “do-it-yourself” consumers, and in some cases, directly to service chains. Demand for aftermarket products historically has been driven by three primary factors: (i) the number of vehicles in operation; (ii) the average age of vehicles in operation; and (iii) vehicle usage trends. These factors, while applicable in all regions, vary depending on the composition of the car parc and other factors, which are discussed in greater detail below:


•	Number of Vehicles in Operation - The global vehicle population is expected to grow to 1.4 billion by 2021. Growth in certain emerging markets, such as China, is increasing at the highest rate, while more mature markets are expected to continue to remain stable or to grow modestly in size, indicating that new car sales are well beyond the replacement rate for scrapped vehicles.

•

Increase in Average Age of Vehicles - The average age of vehicles on the road in the United States has increased since 2002 from 9.6 years to an estimated 11.5 years in 2015. It is expected to remain level at approximately 11.5 years or increase slightly through 2018. The average age of vehicles on the road in Europe has also steadily increased over the past decade to 9.7 years with a slight increase projected through 2020. These trends will drive the need for maintenance and repair work and thereby increasing the overall demand for aftermarket replacement parts in both markets. The average age of vehicles on the road in China is just under four years and is expected to increase over the next several years as the vehicle population matures. We believe this will lead to continuing significant growth in the China aftermarket.

•

Channel Consolidation - In the more mature markets of the United States and Western Europe, there has been increasing consolidation in aftermarket distribution networks with larger, more sophisticated aftermarket distributors and retailers gaining market share. These distributors generally require larger, more sophisticated suppliers with product expertise, category management capabilities, and supply chain services and capabilities, as well as a global manufacturing and sourcing footprint.

•

Growth of Online Capabilities - Reaching consumers directly through online capabilities, including e-commerce, is expected to have an increasing effect on the global aftermarket industry and how aftermarket products are sold. Establishment of a robust online presence will be critical for suppliers regardless of whether they intend to participate directly in e-commerce. In 2015, Motorparts devoted significant resources to improving its online capabilities, in both customer-facing and internal applications, including a new online order management system, vendor management system, customer relationship management ("CRM"), global brand websites, and data and analytics. Initiatives to improve Motorparts online capabilities will continue in 2016.

•

Increase in Private Label Brands and Low-Cost Country Imports - In the United States, there has been an increase in private label or store brands sold by retailers and distributors at a lower price point than premium brands of the same products. However, in many cases, retailers or wholesale distributors creating private label brands will still rely on established suppliers, like Motorparts, to manufacture their private label products and, in some cases, utilize co-branding to support their private label offerings. Motorparts will continue to invest in product innovation and marketing to support the differentiation of its branded product lines.

•

Changes in Consumer Behavior - The aftermarket is affected by changes in economic conditions, volatility in fuel prices, and expanding focus on environmental and energy conservation. For example, the number of consumers with the ability to purchase new vehicles during the 2008-2010 economic downturns led to increased demand for repairs in order to keep older vehicles road-worthy. Increased environmental regulation will lead to additional replacement parts being required on a more frequent basis to meet more exacting standards. Recent falling fuel prices in the United States are likely to lead consumers to drive more and to increase disposable income available for consumers to purchase aftermarket automotive parts and complete necessary repairs.

Customers

We supply OEs with a wide variety of technologically innovative parts, substantially all of which are manufactured by us. Our OE customers consist of automotive and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers as well as agricultural, off-highway, marine, railroad, aerospace, high performance, and industrial application manufacturers. We have well-established relationships with substantially all major American, European, and Asian automotive OEs.

Our aftermarket customers include independent warehouse distributors who redistribute products to local parts suppliers, distributors of heavy-duty vehicular parts, engine rebuilders, retail parts stores, and mass merchants. The breadth of our product lines, the strength of our leading brand names, marketing expertise, its sizable sales force, and our distribution and logistics capability are central to the success of our Motorparts operations.

No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our net sales during 2015.

Competition

The global vehicular parts business is highly competitive. We compete with many independent manufacturers and distributors of component parts globally. In general, competition for sales is based on price, product quality, technology, delivery, customer service, and the breadth of products offered by a given supplier. We are meeting these competitive challenges by developing leading technologies, efficiently integrating and expanding our manufacturing and distribution operations, widening our product coverage within our core businesses, restructuring our operations and transferring production to best cost countries, and utilizing our worldwide technical centers to develop and provide value-added solutions to our customers. A summary of our primary independent competitors by reporting segment is set forth below.


•	Powertrain – Primary competitors include AGM Automotive, Art Metal, Bergmann, BinZou, Bleistahl, Bosch, Daido, Dana, Dana-Reinz, Delfingen, Denso, DongYang, ElringKlinger, FNOK, Freudenberg, Kaco/Sabo, Kolbenschmidt, Mahle, Miba, NGK, NOK, NPR, Relats, Sinteron, SKF, Taiho, and Vitrica.


•	Motorparts – Primary competitors include Akebono Brake Corporation, Autolite, Brake Parts Inc., Bosch Group, Centric Parts, Crowne Group LLC, Delphi Automotive LLP, Denso Corporation, Dorman Products, Inc., GRI Engineering and Development LLC (MAT Holdings, Inc.), Mahle GmbH, Mevotech Inc., NGK Spark Plug Co., Ltd.,

NTN Bearing Corporation, Neapco Inc., Old World Industries, LLC, Phillips Industries, Pylon Manufacturing Corporation, Rain-X (ITW Global Brands), SKF Group, Osram Sylvania Ltd., The Timken Company, Trico Products Corporation, Valeo Group, Dana Corporation (Victor Reinz brand), and ZF TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.

Backlog

For OE customers, we generally receive purchase orders for specific products supplied for particular vehicles. These supply relationships typically extend over the life of the related vehicle, subject to interim design and technical specification revisions, and do not require the customer to purchase a minimum quantity. In addition to customary commercial terms and conditions, purchase orders generally provide for annual price reductions based upon expected productivity improvements and other factors. Customers typically retain the right to terminate purchase orders, but we generally cannot terminate purchase orders. OE order fulfillment is typically manufactured in response to customer purchase order releases, and we ship directly from a manufacturing location to the customer for use in vehicle production and assembly. Accordingly, our manufacturing locations turn finished goods inventory relatively quickly, producing from on-hand raw materials and work-in-process inventory within relatively short manufacturing cycles. Significant risks to us include a change in engine production, driven by mix changes, for powertrain components (e.g. a change from diesel to gasoline engines), lower than expected vehicle or engine production by one or more of our OE customers, or termination of the business based upon perceived or actual shortfalls in delivery, quality or value.

For our global aftermarket customers, Motorparts generally establishes product line arrangements that encompass substantially all parts offered within a particular product line. In some cases, Motorparts will enter into agreements with terms ranging from one to three years that cover one or more product lines with fixed prices. Pricing is market responsive and subject to adjustment based upon competitive pressures, material costs and other commercial factors. Global Aftermarket order fulfillment is largely performed from finished goods inventory stocked in our worldwide distribution network. Inventory stocking levels in our distribution centers are established based upon historical and anticipated future customer demand.

Although customer programs typically extend to future periods, and although there is an expectation that we will supply certain levels of OE production over such periods, we believe that outstanding purchase orders and product line arrangements do not constitute firm orders. Firm orders are limited to specific and authorized customer purchase order releases placed with our manufacturing and distribution centers for actual production and order fulfillment. Firm orders are typically fulfilled as promptly as possible after receipt from the conversion of available raw materials and work-in-process inventory for OE orders and from current on-hand finished goods inventory for aftermarket orders. The dollar amount of such purchase order releases on hand and not processed at any point in time is not believed to be significant based upon the time frame involved.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

We purchase various raw materials and component parts for use in our manufacturing processes, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, non-metallic raw materials, stampings, castings and forgings. We also purchase parts manufactured by other manufacturers for sale in the aftermarket. We have not experienced any significant shortages of raw materials, components or finished parts and normally do not carry inventories of raw materials or finished parts in excess of those reasonably required to meet our production and shipping schedules. In 2015, no outside supplier provided products that accounted for more than 3% of our annual purchases.

Insight Portfolio Group LLC (formally known as Icahn Sourcing, LLC) - Related Party

Insight Portfolio Group LLC (“Insight”) is an entity formed and controlled by Icahn Enterprises, L.P ("IEP") in order to maximize the potential buying power of a group of entities with which IEP has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services, and tangible and intangible property at negotiated rates. We acquired a minority equity interest in Insight and agreed to pay a portion of Insight’s operating expenses beginning in 2013. In addition to the minority equity interest held by us, certain subsidiaries and affiliates of IEP, and other entities with which IEP has a relationship, also acquired minority equity interests in Insight and agreed to pay a portion of Insight’s operating expenses.

Our payments to Insight were less than $0.5 million in each of the three years 2015, 2014, and 2013. We anticipate our 2016 payments to Insight to be similar to the amounts paid in 2015.

Related Parties

On June 1, 2015, IEP completed an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Uni-Select USA, Inc. and Beck/Arnley Worldparts, Inc. comprising the U.S. automotive parts distribution of Uni-Select Inc ("Uni-Select"). Subsequent to the IEP acquisition of Uni-Select, Uni-Select changed its name to Auto Plus.

Auto Plus is operated independently from us and all transactions are approved by the independent directors of our company. In connection with IEP's acquisition of Auto Plus, Mr. Icahn has resigned from our board of directors and our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Daniel A. Ninivaggi, has resigned from the board of directors of IEP.

We had $27 million of net sales from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2015 to Auto Plus and $12 million of accounts receivable outstanding from Auto Plus as of December 31, 2015.

On February 3, 2016, IEP acquired a majority of the outstanding shares of Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack ("Pep Boys"), a leading aftermarket provider of automotive service, tires, parts and accessories across the United States and Puerto Rico. On February 4, 2016, IEP completed the acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of Pep Boys. Motorparts sales to Pep Boys in 2015 were approximately $5 million.

Seasonality of Our Business

Our business is moderately seasonal because many North American OE customers typically close assembly plants for two weeks in July for model year changeovers, and for an additional week during the December holiday season. OE customers in Europe historically shut down vehicle production during portions of July and August and one week in December. Shut-down periods in the Rest of World generally vary by country. The aftermarket experiences seasonal fluctuations in sales due to demands caused by weather and driving patterns. Historically, our sales and operating profits have been the strongest in the second quarter. For additional information, refer to our quarterly financial results contained in Note 22, Supplementary Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited), to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8 of this report.

Employee Relations

We have 53,700 employees as of December 31, 2015. Various unions represent approximately 28% of our U.S. hourly employees and approximately 87% of our non-U.S. hourly employees. With the exception of two facilities in the U.S., most of our unionized manufacturing facilities have their own contracts with their own expiration dates and, as a result, no contract expiration date affects more than one facility.

Effect of Environmental Regulations

Our operations, consistent with those of the manufacturing sector in general, are subject to numerous existing and proposed laws, and governmental regulations designed to protect the environment, particularly regarding plant wastes and emissions, and solid waste disposal. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for environmental control activities did not have a material effect on our financial position or cash flows in 2015 and are not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or cash flows in 2016.

Intellectual Property

We hold in excess of 6,300 patents and patent applications on a worldwide basis, of which more than 1,200 have been filed in the United States. Of the approximately 6,300 patents and patent applications, approximately 30% are in production use and/or are licensed to third parties, and the remaining 70% are being considered for future production use or provide a strategic technological benefit to us.

We do not materially rely on any single patent, nor will the expiration of any single patent materially affect our business. Our current patents expire over various periods into the year 2036. We are actively introducing and patenting new technology to replace formerly patented technology before the expiration of the existing patents. In the aggregate, our worldwide patent portfolio is materially important to our business because it enables us to achieve technological differentiation from our competitors.

We also maintain more than 6,600 active trademark registrations and applications worldwide. In excess of 90% of these trademark registrations and applications are in commercial use by us or are licensed to third parties.

ITEM 1.A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in Federal-Mogul involves various risks. The risks discussed below are not the only ones faced by the Company. Please also read the cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 2.

The Company has substantial indebtedness, which could restrict the Company’s business activities and could subject the Company to significant interest rate risk: As of December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $3.1 billion of outstanding indebtedness. The Company is permitted by the terms of its debt instruments to incur additional indebtedness, subject to the restrictions therein. The Company’s inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy its debt obligations, or to refinance its debt obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, covenants in the Company’s debt agreements could limit its ability to engage in certain transactions and pursue its business strategies, which could adversely affect liquidity.

The Company’s indebtedness could:


•	limit the Company’s ability to borrow money for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other corporate purposes, guarantee additional debt or issue redeemable, convertible of preferred equity;


•	limit the Company’s ability to make distributions or prepay its debt, incur liens, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets (including capital stock of subsidiaries), enter into transactions with affiliates and merger consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets;


•	require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow to payments on indebtedness, which would reduce the amount of cash flow available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development, and other corporate requirements;


•	increase the Company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and


•	limit the Company’s ability to respond to business opportunities.

A significant portion of the Company’s indebtedness accrues interest at variable rates. To the extent market interest rates rise, the cost of the Company’s debt would increase, adversely affecting the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The Company’s restructuring activities and strategic initiatives may affect the Company’s short-term liquidity and may not result in the anticipated synergies and cost savings: The Company is pursuing a number of organic and inorganic growth activities, restructuring plans, and strategic initiatives to increase and improve the Company’s business and profitability. Management believes these activities will enhance the Company’s long term shareholder value; however, the investment to effectuate these activities may have an effect on the Company’s short term liquidity and may create the need for additional borrowing which may be at higher interest rates given the Company’s current level of indebtedness. In addition, it is possible the achievement of expected synergies and cost savings associated with the Company’s restructuring activities will require additional costs or charges to earnings in future periods. It is also possible the expected synergies or returns from strategic initiatives may not be achieved. Any costs or charges could adversely effect the business, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition.

The Company’s operations in foreign countries expose the Company to risks related to economic and political conditions, currency fluctuations, import/export restrictions, regulatory and other risks: The Company has manufacturing and distribution facilities in many countries. International operations are subject to certain risks including:


•	exposure to local economic conditions;


•	exposure to local political conditions (including the risk of seizure of assets by foreign governments);


•	currency exchange rate fluctuations (including, but not limited to, material exchange rate fluctuations, such as devaluations) and currency controls


•	export and import restrictions;


•	restrictions on ability to repatriate foreign earnings;


•	labor unrest; and


•	compliance with U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and local laws prohibiting inappropriate payments.

The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential effect on the Company are unpredictable and vary from country-to-country.

Certain of the Company’s operating entities report their financial condition and results of operations in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (including, but not limited to, Brazilian real, British pound, Chinese yuan renminbi, Czech crown, euro, Indian rupee, Mexican peso, Polish zloty, Russian ruble, South Korean won, and Swedish krona). In reporting its consolidated

statements of operations, the Company translates the reported results of these entities into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. As a result, fluctuations in the dollar against foreign currencies will affect the value at which the results of these entities are included within Federal-Mogul’s consolidated results.

The Company is exposed to a risk of gain or loss from changes in foreign exchange rates whenever the Company, or one of its foreign subsidiaries, enters into a purchase or sales agreement in a currency other than its functional currency. While the Company reduces such exposure by matching most revenues and costs within the same currency, changes in exchange rates could affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company conducts operations through joint ventures which may contain various contractual restrictions and require approval for certain actions by our joint venture partners: Certain of the Company’s operations, including emerging markets, are conducted through joint ventures and strategic alliances. With respect to these joint ventures, the Company may share ownership and management responsibilities with one or more partners that may not share the same goals and objectives. Operating a joint venture requires the Company to operate the business pursuant to the terms of the agreement that was entered into with the joint venture partners, as well as to share information and decision making. Additional risks associated with joint ventures include one or more partners failing to satisfy contractual obligations, conflicts arising between the joint venture partners, a change in the ownership of any of the joint venture partners and our limited ability to control compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and related rules and regulations. Additionally, the Company’s ability to sell its interest in a joint venture may be subject to contractual and other limitations. Accordingly, any such occurrences could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

The Company may pursue acquisitions or other affiliations that involve inherent risks, any of which may cause the Company not to realize anticipated benefits, and the Company may have difficulty integrating the operations of any companies that may be acquired, which may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations: In the past, the Company has grown through acquisitions, and may engage in acquisitions in the future as part of the Company’s business strategy. The full benefits of these acquisitions, however, require integration of manufacturing, administrative, financial, sales, and marketing approaches and personnel. If the Company is unable to successfully integrate its acquisitions, it may not realize the benefits of the acquisitions, the financial results may be negatively affected, or additional cash may be required to integrate such operations.

In the future, the Company may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition or affiliation opportunities or complete any particular acquisition, combination, affiliation or other transaction on acceptable terms. The Company’s identification of suitable acquisition candidates and affiliation opportunities and the integration of acquired business operations involve risks inherent in assessing the values, strengths, weaknesses, risks, and profitability of these opportunities. This includes the effects on the Company’s business, diversion of management’s attention, and risks associated with unanticipated problems or unforeseen liabilities, and may require significant financial resources that would otherwise be used for the ongoing development of the Company’s business.

The difficulties of integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically dispersed organizations, integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. These difficulties could be further increased to the extent the Company pursues acquisition or affiliation opportunities internationally. The Company may not be effective in retaining key employees or customers of the combined businesses. The Company may face integration issues pertaining to the internal controls and operations functions of the acquired companies and also may not realize cost efficiencies or synergies that were anticipated when selecting the acquisition candidates. The Company may experience managerial or other conflicts with its affiliation partners. Any of these items could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company’s failure to identify suitable acquisition or joint venture opportunities may restrict the Company’s ability to grow its business. If the Company is successful in pursuing future acquisitions or other affiliations, the Company may be required to expend significant funds, incur additional debt and/or issue additional securities, which may materially adversely affect its results of operations. If the Company spends significant funds or incurs additional debt, the Company’s ability to obtain financing for working capital or other purposes could decline and the Company may be more vulnerable to economic downturns and competitive pressures.

Impairment charges relating to the Company’s goodwill and long lived assets could adversely affect its financial performance: The Company has been required to recognize impairment charges for its goodwill and other long lived. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company periodically assesses these assets to determine if they are impaired. Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of these assets, changes in the structure of our

business, divestitures, market capitalization declines, or increases in associated discount rates may impair our goodwill and other intangible assets. Any charges relating to such impairments may adversely affect our results of operations in the periods recognized.

Adverse conditions in the automotive market adversely affect demand for the Company’s products and exposes the Company to credit risks of its customers: The revenues of the Company’s operations are closely tied to global OE automobile sales, production levels, and independent aftermarket parts replacement activity. The OE market is characterized by short-term volatility, with overall expected long-term growth in global vehicle sales and production. Automotive production in the local markets served by the Company can be affected by macro-economic factors such as interest rates, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment trends, regulatory and legislative oversight requirements and trade agreements. A variation in the level of automobile production would affect not only sales to OE customers but, depending on the reasons for the change, could affect demand from aftermarket customers. In addition, aftermarket demand is affected by various factors, including the size and composition of the vehicle population and vehicle usage. The Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if the Company fails to respond in a timely and appropriate manner to changes in the demand for its products or if the Company is not able to timely identify or address financial distress of its aftermarket customers.

Accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s customer base includes virtually every significant global automotive manufacturer, numerous Tier 1 automotive suppliers, and a large number of distributors and installers of automotive aftermarket parts. Consolidation in the automotive aftermarket may lead to financial distress for financially weaker customers of the Company which, coupled with payment terms that are typically longer than in the OE market, could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial results.

Consolidation, increased market power, and potential conflicts with the Company’s independent aftermarket customers could negatively affect the Company’s financial performance: The Company’s independent aftermarket customers are continuing to consolidate and gain purchasing power and the ability to demand extended payment terms and other pricing concessions. If these trends continue the financial results of the Company’s Motorparts business segment could be negatively affected. In addition, aftermarket customers may reduce their business with the Company based on perceived conflicts with the Company's strategy of supporting its branded products and supporting new distribution channels or its affiliation with certain competitors.

Cybersecurity risks and other cyber incidents could result in disruption: Threats to information technology systems associated with cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents or attacks continue to grow. The Company depends on information technology systems. In addition, the Company collects, processes and retains certain sensitive and confidential customer information in the normal course of business. Despite the security measures in place and any additional measures that may be implement in the future, the Company’s facilities and systems, and those of its third-party service providers, could be vulnerable to security breaches, computer viruses, lost or misplaced data, programming errors, human errors, acts of vandalism or other events. Any disruption of our systems or security breach or event resulting in the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, whether by the Company directly or its third-party service providers, could damage our reputation, expose us to the risks of litigation and liability, disrupt our business or otherwise affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company is subject to possible insolvency of financial counterparties: The Company engages in numerous financial transactions and contracts including insurance policies, letters of credit, credit line agreements, financial derivatives, and investment management agreements involving various counterparties. The Company is subject to the risk that one or more of these counterparties may become insolvent and therefore be unable to discharge its obligations under such contracts.

The automotive industry is highly competitive and the Company’s success depends upon its ability to compete effectively in the market: The Company operates in an extremely competitive industry, driven by global vehicle production volumes and part replacement trends. Business is typically awarded to the supplier offering the most favorable combination of cost, quality, technology, and service. In addition, customers continue to require periodic price reductions that require the Company to continually assess, redefine and improve its operations, products, and manufacturing capabilities to maintain and improve profitability. In addition, the Company’s competitors’ efforts to increase their market share could exert additional downward pressure on product pricing and margins. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to compete effectively in the automotive market.

The Company’s pension obligations and other postemployment benefits could adversely affect the Company’s operating margins and cash flows: The automotive industry, like other industries, continues to be affected by the rising cost of providing pension and other postemployment benefits. In addition, the Company sponsors certain defined benefit plans worldwide that are underfunded and will require cash payments. If the performance of the assets in the pension plans does not meet the

Company’s expectations, or other actuarial assumptions are modified, the Company’s required contributions may be higher than it expects. See Note 15, Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of this report.

The price of the Company’s common stock is subject to volatility: Various factors could cause the market price of the Company’s common stock to fluctuate substantially including general financial market changes, changes in governmental regulation, significant automotive industry announcements or developments, the introduction of new products or technologies by the Company or its competitors, and changes in other conditions or trends in the automotive industry. Other factors that could cause the Company’s stock price to fluctuate could be actual or anticipated variations in the Company’s or its competitors’ quarterly or annual financial results, financial results failing to meet expectations of analysts or investors, changes in securities analysts’ estimates of the Company’s future performance or of that of the Company’s competitors and the general health of the automotive industry.

Mr. Carl C. Icahn exerts significant influence over the Company and his interests may conflict with the interest of the Company’s other stockholders: Mr. Carl C. Icahn indirectly controls approximately 81.99% of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock and, by virtue of such stock ownership, is able to control or exert substantial influence over the Company, including:


•	the election of directors;


•	business strategy and policies;


•	mergers or other business combinations;


•	acquisition or disposition of assets;


•	future issuances of common stock or other securities;


•	incurrence of debt or obtaining other sources of financing; and


•	the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock.

The existence of a controlling stockholder may have the effect of making it difficult for, or may discourage or delay, a third party from seeking to acquire a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of the stock.

Mr. Icahn’s interests may not always be consistent with the Company’s interests or with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. Mr. Icahn and entities controlled by him may also pursue acquisitions or business opportunities that may or may not be complementary to the Company’s business. To the extent that conflicts of interest may arise between the Company and Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, those conflicts may be resolved in a manner adverse to the Company or its other shareholders.

If the Company loses any of its executive officers or key employees, the Company’s operations and ability to manage the day-to-day aspects of its business may be materially adversely affected: The Company’s future performance substantially depends on its ability to retain and motivate executive officers and key employees, both individually and as a group. If the Company loses any of its executive officers or key employees, which have many years of experience with the Company and within the automotive industry and other manufacturing industries, or is unable to recruit qualified personnel, the Company’s ability to manage the day-to-day aspects of its business may be materially adversely affected. The loss of the services of one or more executive officers or key employees, who also have strong personal ties with customers and suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company does not currently maintain “key person” life insurance.

The Company’s stock price may decline due to sales of shares by Mr. Carl C. Icahn: Sales of substantial amounts of the Company’s common stock by Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, or the perception that these sales may occur, may adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock and impede its ability to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities in the future. Mr. Icahn is contractually entitled, subject to certain exceptions, to exercise rights under a registration rights agreement to cause the Company to register his shares under the Securities Act. By exercising his registration rights and selling a large number of shares, Mr. Icahn could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline. No other shareholder has registration rights.

The Company is subject to the pension liabilities of all entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80%: As a result of the more than 80% ownership interest in the Company by Mr. Icahn’s affiliates, the Company is subject to the pension liabilities of all entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80%. One such entity, ACF Industries LLC ("ACF"), is the sponsor of several pension plans. All the minimum funding requirements of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 for these plans have been met as of December 31, 2015. If the ACF plans were voluntarily terminated, they would be underfunded by approximately $101 million as of December 31, 2015. These results are based on the most recent information provided by the plans’ actuaries. These liabilities could increase or

decrease, depending on a number of factors, including future changes in benefits, investment returns, and the assumptions used to calculate the liability. As members of the controlled group, the Company would be liable for any failure of ACF to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon a termination of the pension plans of ACF. In addition, other entities now or in the future within the controlled group in which the Company is included may have pension plan obligations that are, or may become, underfunded and the Company would be liable for any failure of such entities to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon termination of such plans. Further, the failure to pay these pension obligations when due may result in the creation of liens in favor of the pension plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) against the assets of each member of the controlled group.

The current underfunded status of the pension plans of ACF requires it to notify the PBGC of certain “reportable events,” such as if the Company ceases to be a member of the ACF controlled group, or the Company makes certain extraordinary dividends or stock redemptions. The obligation to report could cause the Company to seek to delay or reconsider the occurrence of such reportable events.

Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC have undertaken to indemnify Federal-Mogul for any and all liability imposed upon the Company pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or any regulation there under (“ERISA”) resulting from the Company being considered a member of a controlled group within the meaning of ERISA § 4001(a)(14) of which American Entertainment Properties Corporation is a member, except with respect to liability in respect to any employee benefit plan, as defined by ERISA § 3(3), maintained by the Company. Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC are not required to maintain any specific net worth and there can be no guarantee Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC will be able to fund its indemnification obligations to the Company.

Certain disruptions in supply of and changes in the competitive environment for raw materials could adversely affect the Company’s operating margins and cash flows: The Company purchases a broad range of materials, components, and finished parts. The Company also uses a significant amount of energy, both electricity and natural gas, in the production of its products. A significant disruption in the supply of these materials, supplies, and energy or the failure of a supplier with whom the Company has established a single source supply relationship could decrease production and shipping levels, materially increase operating costs and materially adversely affect profit margins. Shortages of materials or interruptions in transportation systems, labor strikes, work stoppages, or other interruptions to or difficulties in the employment of labor or transportation in the markets where the Company purchases material, components, and supplies for the production of products or where the products are produced, distributed or sold, whether as a result of labor strife, war, further acts of terrorism or otherwise, in each case may adversely affect profitability.

In recent periods there have been significant fluctuations in the prices of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, platinum, resins, steel, other base metals and energy which have had and may continue to have an unfavorable effect on the Company’s business. Any continued fluctuations in the price or availability of energy and materials may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. To address increased costs associated with these market forces, a number of the Company’s suppliers have implemented surcharges on existing fixed price contracts. Without the surcharge, some suppliers claim they will be unable to provide adequate supply. Competitive and marketing pressures may limit the Company’s ability to pass some of the supply and material cost increases on to the Company’s customers and may prevent the Company from doing so in the future. Furthermore, the Company’s customers are generally not obligated to accept price increases the Company may desire to pass along to them. This inability to pass on price increases to customers when material prices increase rapidly or to significantly higher than historic levels could adversely affect the Company’s operating margins and cash flow, possibly resulting in lower operating income and profitability.

The Company’s hedging activities to address commodity price fluctuations may not be successful in offsetting future increases in those costs or may reduce or eliminate the benefits of any decreases in those costs: In order to mitigate short-term variation in operating results due to the aforementioned commodity price fluctuations, the Company hedges a portion of near-term exposure to certain raw materials used in production processes, primarily natural gas, copper, nickel, tin, zinc, high-grade aluminum and aluminum alloy. The results of the Company’s hedging practice could be positive, neutral or negative in any period depending on price changes in the hedged exposures.

The Company’s hedging activities are not designed to mitigate long-term commodity price fluctuations and, therefore, will not protect from long-term commodity price increases. The Company’s future hedging positions may not correlate to actual energy or raw materials costs, which would cause acceleration in the recognition of unrealized gains and losses on hedging positions in operating results.

The Company is subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws, and regulations, and the cost of complying or the Company’s failure to comply with such requirements may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations: The Company is subject to a variety of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations relating to the release or discharge of materials into the environment, the management, use, processing, handling, storage, transport or disposal of hazardous waste materials, or otherwise relating to the protection of public and employee health, safety, and the environment. These laws and regulations expose the Company to liability for the environmental condition of its current facilities, and also may expose the Company to liability for the conduct of others or for the Company’s actions that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time these actions were taken. These laws and regulations also may expose the Company to liability for claims of personal injury or property damage related to alleged exposure to hazardous or toxic materials in foreign countries. Despite the Company’s intention to be in compliance with all such laws and regulations, the Company cannot guarantee that it will at all times be in compliance with all such requirements. The cost of complying with these requirements may also increase substantially in future years. If the Company violates or fails to comply with these requirements, the Company could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. These requirements are complex, change frequently, and may become more stringent over time, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company’s failure to maintain and comply with environmental permits the Company is required to maintain could result in fines or penalties or other sanctions and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or results. Future events, such as new environmental regulations or changes in or modified interpretations of existing laws and regulations or enforcement policies, newly discovered information or further investigation or evaluation of the potential health hazards of products or business activities, may give rise to additional compliance and other costs that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditions, and operations.

New regulations related to “conflict minerals” may force us to incur additional expenses and may make the Company’s supply chain more complex. In August 2012, the SEC adopted annual disclosure and reporting requirements for those companies who use certain minerals known as “conflict minerals” mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in their products. These new requirements required due diligence efforts in 2013, with initial disclosure requirements beginning in 2014. There will be significant costs associated with complying with these disclosure requirements, including for diligence to determine the sources of conflict minerals used in the Company’s products and other potential changes to products, processes or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities.

A significant labor dispute involving the Company or one or more of its customers or suppliers or that could otherwise affect our operations could adversely affect the Company’s financial performance: A substantial number of the Company’s employees and the employees of the Company’s largest customers and suppliers are members of industrial trade unions and are employed under the terms of various labor agreements. Most of the Company’s unionized manufacturing facilities have their own contracts with their own expiration dates. There can be no assurances that future negotiations with the unions will be resolved favorably or that the Company will not experience a work stoppage or disruption that could adversely affect its financial condition, operating results and cash flows. A labor dispute involving the Company, any of its customers or suppliers or any other suppliers to the Company’s customers or that otherwise affects the Company’s operations, or the inability by the Company, any of its customers or suppliers or any other suppliers to the Company’s customers to negotiate, upon the expiration of a labor agreement, an extension of such agreement or a new agreement on satisfactory terms could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition, if any of the Company’s significant customers experience a material work stoppage, the customer may halt or limit the purchase of the Company’s products. This could require the Company to shut down or significantly reduce production at facilities relating to such products, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and harm its profitability.

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s profitability and consolidated financial position: The Company is involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that, from time to time, are significant. These are typically claims that arise in the normal course of business including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, including disputes with suppliers, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, environmental issues, tax matters and employment matters. No assurances can be given that such proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profitability and consolidated financial position.

If the Company is unable to protect its intellectual property and prevent its improper use by third parties, the Company’s ability to compete in the market may be harmed: Various patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws afford only limited protection and may not prevent the Company’s competitors from duplicating the Company’s products or gaining access to its proprietary information and technology. These means also may not permit the Company to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.

Any of the Company’s patents may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. The Company cannot guarantee it will be successful should one or more of its patents be challenged for any reason and countries outside the U.S. may diminish the protection of the Company’s patents. If the Company’s patent claims are rendered invalid or unenforceable, or narrowed in scope, the patent coverage afforded to the Company’s products could be impaired, which could significantly impede the Company’s ability to market its products, negatively affect its competitive position and materially adversely affect its business and results of operations.

The Company’s pending or future patent applications may not result in an issued patent. Additionally, newly issued patents may not provide meaningful protection against competitors or against competitive technologies. Courts in the United States and in other countries may invalidate the Company’s patents or find them unenforceable. Competitors may also be able to design around the Company’s patents. Other parties may develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. If these developments were to occur, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s sales. If the Company’s intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, the Company may not be able to commercialize its technologies, products or services and the Company’s competitors could commercialize the Company’s technologies, which could result in a decrease in the Company’s sales and market share and could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s products could infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may lead to litigation that could itself be costly, could result in the payment of substantial damages or royalties, and could prevent the Company from using technology that is essential to its products: The Company cannot guarantee its products, manufacturing processes or other methods do not infringe the patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Infringement and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against the Company, whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and harm the Company’s reputation. Such claims and proceedings can also distract and divert management and key personnel from other tasks important to the success of its business. In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force the Company to do one or more of the following:


•	cease selling or using of any products that incorporate the asserted intellectual property, which would adversely affect the Company’s revenue;


•	pay substantial damages for past use of the asserted intellectual property;


•	obtain a license from the holder of the asserted intellectual property, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all; and


•	redesign or rename, in the case of trademark claims, products to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties, which may not be possible and could be costly and time-consuming if it is possible to do.

In the event of an adverse determination in an intellectual property suit or proceeding, or the Company’s failure to license essential technology, the Company’s sales could be harmed and its costs could increase, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company may be exposed to certain regulatory and financial risks related to climate change: Climate change is continuing to receive ever increasing attention worldwide. Many scientists, legislators and others attribute climate change to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which could lead to additional legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The focus on emissions could increase costs associated with the Company’s operations, including costs for raw materials and transportation. Because the scope of future laws in this area is uncertain, the Company cannot predict the potential effect of such laws on its future consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting could affect our ability to timely file reliable financial statements and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. If the Company discovers significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting or at any recently acquired entity, it may adversely affect its ability to provide timely and reliable financial information and satisfy its reporting obligations under federal securities laws, which also could affect the market price of its common stock or its ability to remain listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, or NASDAQ.

As discussed in Part II, Item 9A - Controls and Procedures, we have identified a material weakness in the operating effectiveness of information technology (IT) general controls. More specifically, the Company was not consistently following its processes and procedures during 2015 to execute and monitor change management controls or to restrict or monitor access to certain of its IT systems. These processes and procedures are intended to ensure that access to financial applications and data is adequately restricted to appropriate personnel and that all changes affecting the financial applications and underlying account records are identified, authorized, tested and implemented appropriately. Additionally, as a result of the deficiencies identified, there is a possibility that the effectiveness of business process controls that are dependent on the affected IT systems or data and

financial reports generated from the affected IT systems may be adversely affected. A material weakness could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim Consolidated Financial Statements. A material misstatement could result in significant adverse consequences.

If in the future we have additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to attest that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could decrease. We could also become subject to stockholder or other third-party litigation as well as investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources and could result in fines, trading suspensions or other remedies.

The facilities range in size from approximately 100 square feet to 700 thousand square feet. Management believes substantially all of our facilities are in good condition and it has sufficient capacity to meet our current and expected manufacturing and distribution needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various litigation matters regarding environmental matters and other matters as described below.

Environmental Matters

The Company is a defendant in lawsuits filed, or the recipient of administrative orders issued or demand letters received, in various jurisdictions pursuant to the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) or other similar national, provincial or state environmental remedial laws. These laws provide that responsible parties may be liable to pay for remediating contamination resulting from hazardous substances that were discharged into the environment by them, by prior owners or occupants of property they currently own or operate, or by others to whom they sent such substances for treatment or other disposition at third party locations. The Company has been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies that it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to CERCLA and other national and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation typically requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities.

Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, the Company’s share of the total waste sent to these sites has generally been small. Therefore, the Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is limited.

The Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is actively seeking to resolve these actual and potential statutory, regulatory and contractual obligations. Although difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, the Company has accrued amounts corresponding to its best estimate of the costs associated with such regulatory and contractual obligations on the basis of available information from site investigations and best professional judgment of consultants.

Total environmental liabilities were $14 million and $15 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014. Management believes that such accruals will be adequate to cover the Company’s estimated liability for its exposure in respect to such matters. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded by the Company, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected. At December 31, 2015, management estimates that reasonably possible material additional losses above and beyond management’s best estimate of required remediation costs, as recorded, approximate $45 million.

Other Matters

The Company is involved in other legal actions and claims, directly and through its subsidiaries that arise in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these other actions or claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, operating results, or cash flows. See Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of this report.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

Our Business: We are a leading global supplier of a broad range of components, accessories, and systems to the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty, marine, railroad, agricultural, off-road, aerospace and energy, industrial, and transport markets, including customers in both the original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and servicers (“OES”) (collectively “OE”) market and the replacement market (“aftermarket”). Our customers include the world’s largest automotive OEs, and major distributors and retailers in the independent aftermarket.

We operate with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain segment focuses on original equipment powertrain products for automotive, heavy duty and industrial applications. Powertrain operates manufacturing facilities in 19 countries and derived 35% of its 2015 OE sales in North America, 46% in Europe, the Middle-East and Africa ("EMEA"), and 19% in the rest of the world ("Rest of World" or "ROW"). The Motorparts segment sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket including more than 20 globally-recognized brands. We also serve OEMs with products including braking, wipers, and a limited range of chassis components. Motorparts operates manufacturing sites in 15 countries and distribution centers and warehouses in 13 countries. In 2015, Motorparts derived 56% of its sales in North America, 37% in EMEA, and 7% in Rest of World.

Termination of Spin-off: On January 15, 2016, we announced the termination of the previously announced spin-off of the Motorparts division. We will continue to operate with two separate, independent businesses with separate CEOs who will each report directly to our board of directors. The separate businesses more effectively serve their unique markets and allow each operating business to pursue its business strategy and more quickly react to its unique market conditions.

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2015: Consolidated net sales were $7,419 million, an increase of $102 million, or 1.4%. The increase was primarily driven by a 10% increase in sales volumes of $734 million (which included a $657 million benefit from acquisitions), which was substantially offset by the $642 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange.

Cost of products sold was $6,345 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $85 million, or 1%. The increase was driven by $645 million in incremental costs related to higher sales volumes attributable to acquisitions, and partly to volumes related to organic growth. This was substantially offset by the $529 million favorable effect of foreign currency exchange and $31 million of savings from net performance. Net performance gains were burdened by incremental costs associated with the realignment of our North American distribution centers within our Motorparts division and strategic initiatives within both divisions.

Gross profit increased by $17 million to $1,074 million, or 14.5% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $1,057 million, or 14.4% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2014. This was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of $98 million, which included the effect of acquisitions, and the $32 million favorable effect of performance, which was offset by the negative effects of foreign currency exchange.

For the year-ended December 31, 2015:


•	Net loss attributable to Federal-Mogul for the year-ended December 31, 2015 was $110 million, which included goodwill and intangible impairment charges of $94 million, and restructuring charges and asset impairments of $121 million.


•	We impaired $50 million and $44 million of goodwill related to our Motorparts and Powertrain segments, respectively.


•	Restructuring charges and asset impairments were comprised of $62 million related to the Powertrain segment and $59 million related to the Motorparts segment. This charge includes $89 million of costs related to severance and other charges primarily focused on reducing inefficiencies in the cost structure of recent acquisitions and the EMEA aftermarket.

•

Total debt, including short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt, increased by $372 million. This was attributable to the additional strategic investments made during 2015 including the acquisition of TRW’s valvetrain business, which was funded primarily by our revolving line of credit. We had $194 million of cash and $170 million of availability under our credit facilities at December 31, 2015.

Recent Trends and Market Conditions:

Our business and operating results are affected by the relative strength of:

General economic conditions: Our OE business is directly related to automotive sales and automotive vehicle production by our customers. Automotive sales depend on a number of factors, including global and regional economic conditions. Demand for aftermarket products is driven by three primary factors including: the number of vehicles in operation; the average age of vehicles; and vehicle usage trends (primarily distance traveled).

Early estimates of global GDP indicate a 2.4 percent increase in 2015. Major factors contributing to this rate of growth include generally stable conditions in developed regions and slowing growth in emerging markets. While the Chinese economic growth rate slowed from previous years, GDP estimates indicate 6.9 percent growth in 2015. Full-year GDP estimates for the European Union, Japan, and the United States are 1.5, 0.8 and 2.5 percent, respectively. Economic conditions in key regions remain mixed. However, the combination of low interest rates and declining fuel prices continues to support vehicle sales and production globally. Declining commodity prices have also strengthened the position of automotive manufacturers. However, visibility on global GDP remains limited and uncertain.

Global vehicle production levels: Global vehicle production increased by 1.3 percent in 2015. European vehicle production rose 4.1 percent from 2014 levels. North American vehicle production increased 3.6 percent, with positive growth in Mexico and the United States. Vehicle production in the Asia-Pacific region increased just under 1 percent in 2015, reaching another record high. Among the major regions, only South America posted a decline in 2015, down 19.3 percent.

Global vehicle sales levels: Global vehicle sales increased by 1.8 percent in 2015. European vehicle sales rose 3.5 percent from 2014 levels. North American vehicles sales increased 6.3 percent, with positive growth in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Vehicle sales in the Asia-Pacific region increased 1.5 percent in 2015, reaching another record high. Among the major regions, only South America posted a decline in 2015 which was down 21.1 percent.

Part replacement trends: The strength of our aftermarket business is influenced by several key drivers. These include the vehicle population (or "parc"), average vehicle age, fuel prices and vehicle distance traveled. The vehicle parc is estimated to have expanded in most major markets, including the United States, Japan, China, and Germany. Average vehicle ages also increased, despite growth in new vehicle sales, in most regions.

Recent decline in oil prices: The recent decline in oil prices results in lower fuel prices for consumers. Lower fuel prices provide consumers with more discretionary income for vehicle repairs and tends to encourage more driving miles, which in turn accelerates wear on vehicle components, accelerating the need for replacements. Low fuel prices also encourage more vehicle sales, which increases demand for parts from OEMs.

Foreign currencies: Given the global nature of our operations, we are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates. During 2015, foreign currency fluctuations had a considerable effect on our reported earnings in U.S. dollars compared to 2014.

Strategy:

Our strategy is to develop and deliver leading technology, innovation, and service capabilities which results in market share expansion in the OE market and aftermarket. Our strategy is designed to create sustainable global profitable growth by leveraging existing and developing new economic advantages. This strategy consists of the following:

Extending our global reach to support our OE and aftermarket customers, furthering our relationships with leading Asian OEs and strengthening market share with U.S. and European OEs.

During 2015, we acquired TRW’s valvetrain business, which adds a completely new product line to our product portfolio, and strengthens our position as a leading developer and supplier of core components for engines.

During 2014, we completed the purchase of certain assets of the Honeywell brake component business and the Affinia chassis business. The Honeywell brake component acquisition included two recently established manufacturing facilities in China and Romania that substantially strengthened the manufacturing and engineering capabilities of our global braking portfolio.

Assess acquisition and investment opportunities that provide product line expansion, technological advancements, geographic positioning, penetration of emerging markets (including India and China) and market share growth.

In addition to the TRW valvetrain acquisition during 2015, we also made investments in joint ventures in India, as well as entered into two new joint ventures, one in Thailand and one in China focused on automotive aftermarket vehicle repair business. We will be the preferred supplier to the China joint venture and will provide our broad portfolio of premium-branded automotive parts for distribution through a network of repair shops. These investments position the company to capitalize on the development of the independent aftermarket in the Asia Pacific region.

Leverage the strength of our global aftermarket leading brand positions, product portfolio and range, marketing and selling expertise, and distribution and logistics capabilities.

The acquired of the Affinia chassis business serves leading U.S. aftermarket customers with chassis products and broadened our product offering and customer base while also providing operational synergies.

During 2015, we executed on various marketing campaigns for our premium brands. We also launched a series of 'Tech First' initiatives to provide online, on-demand, and onsite technical training and support to vehicle repair technicians who use and install our products. This initiative included the opening of 'Garage Gurus,' a nationwide technical education network network consisting of 10 technical support centers and mobile training vans in major U.S. markets; a repair shop engagement program in France and Germany; and the opening of the company’s first technical training and support center in China.

Aggressively pursue cost competitiveness in all business segments by continuing to drive productivity in existing operations, consolidating and relocating manufacturing operations to best cost countries, utilizing our strategic alliances, and rationalizing business resources and infrastructure.

Restructuring expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily related to our EMEA locations and were aimed at (1) the reshaping of the aftermarket distribution network, (2) reducing production complexities, and (3) reducing inefficiencies in indirect and fixed costs structures.

We assess individual opportunities to execute our strategy based upon estimated sales and margin growth, cost reduction potential, internal investment returns, and other criteria, and make investment decisions on a case-by-case basis. Opportunities meeting or exceeding benchmark return criteria may be undertaken through research and development activities, acquisitions, and other strategic alliances, or restructuring activities.

Outlook

We expect to benefit from the effect of our synergistic acquisitions, strategic initiatives and restructuring actions initiated over the last several years through improved efficiencies and cost savings; as well as a reduction in the cash outlay and related costs directly associated with these actions. Incremental costs associated with the realignment of our North American distribution centers within our Motorparts division are expected to decline as the distribution centers reach full utilization. We also believe there are opportunities to reduce inventory levels, which increased as part of the ramp-up of these distribution centers. However, we expect further investments in our European and Asia Pacific distribution networks and information technology systems in 2016 and 2017.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on From 10K have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in

the United Sates (“U.S GAAP”). Accordingly, our significant accounting policies have been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes under Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." We provide enhanced information that supplements such disclosures for accounting estimates when the estimate involves matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and different estimates or changes to an estimate could have a material effect on the reported financial position, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

When more than one accounting principle, or the method of its application, is generally accepted, management selects the principle or method that it considers to be the most appropriate given the specific circumstances. Application of these accounting principles requires us to make estimates about the future resolution of existing uncertainties. Estimates are typically based upon historical experience, current trends, contractual documentation, and other information, as appropriate. Due to the inherent uncertainty involving estimates, actual results reported in the future may differ from those estimates. In preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements, giving due regard to materiality. The following summarizes our critical accounting policies.

Pension Plans and Other Postemployment Benefit Plans

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans and postretirement plans for certain employees and retirees around the world. Our defined benefit plans are accounted for on an actuarial basis, which requires the selection of various assumptions, including an expected long-term rate of return, discount rate, and mortality and mortality improvement rates of plan participants.

Differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may materially affect the pension obligations. Actual results that differ from assumptions are accumulated in net actuarial gains and losses which are subject to amortization and expensed over future periods. The unamortized pre-tax actuarial loss on our pension plans was $532 million and $590 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014. We expect to recognize amortization expense of $15 million in 2016.

Assumptions used to calculate benefit obligations as of the end of a fiscal year directly affect the expense to be recognized in future periods. The primary assumptions affecting our accounting for employee benefits as of December 31, 2015 are as follows:

•

Long-term rate of return on plan assets: The required use of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets may result in recognized returns that are greater or less than the actual returns on those plan assets in any given year. While the development of the long-term rate of return on assets gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is designed to approximate a long-term prospective rate. The expected long-term rate of return used to calculate net periodic pension cost is 6.55% for U.S. plans and a weighted average of 3.52% for non-U.S. plans.

•

Discount rate: The discount rate reflects the effective yield on high quality fixed income securities available in the marketplace as of the measurement date to settle pension and postemployment benefit obligations. The discount rate assumption is established at the measurement date. In the U.S., we use a cash flow matching approach that uses projected cash flows matched to spot rates along a high quality corporate yield curve to determine the present value of cash flows to calculate a single equivalent discount rate. The benefit obligation for pension plans in Belgium, France, and Germany represents 91% of the non-U.S. pension benefit obligation at December 31, 2015. The discount rates for plans in Belgium, France, and Germany are determined using a cash flow matching approach similar to the U.S. approach.

The weighted-average discount rates used to calculate net periodic benefit cost for the 2015 and year-end obligations as of December 31, 2015 were as follows:



	Pension Benefits
	U.S.		Non-U.S.		Other Postretirement
	Plans		Plans		Benefits
Used to calculate net periodic benefit cost	3.85	%	1.77	%	3.84	%
Used to calculate benefit obligations	4.15	%	2.72	%	4.18	%


•	Health care cost trend: We review external data and our historical trends for health care costs to determine the health care cost trend rate. The assumed health care cost trend rate used to measure next year’s postretirement health care benefits is 6.97% for both health care and drug costs, both declining to an ultimate trend rate of 5.00% in 2022.


•	Mortality Assumptions: We have reviewed the mortality improvement tables published by the Society of Actuaries in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and determined our current assumptions are appropriate to measure our December 31, 2015 U.S. pension plans’ benefit obligations.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in certain assumptions for projected benefit obligations (“PBO”) and associated expense. The changes in these assumptions have no effect on our funding requirements.



	Pension Benefits												Other Postretirement Benefits
	United States Plans						Non-U.S. Plans						Other Postretirement Benefits
	Change in 2016 Pension Expense			Change in PBO			Change in 2016 Pension Expense			Change in PBO			Change in 2016 Expense		Change in PBO

Environmental Matters

Environmental remediation liabilities are recognized when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities generally are not subject to insurance coverage. The cost of each environmental remediation is estimated by engineering, financial, and legal specialists based on current law and considers the estimated cost of investigation and remediation required and the likelihood that, where applicable, other responsible parties will be able to fulfill their legal obligations and commitments. The process of estimating environmental remediation liabilities is complex and dependent primarily on the nature and extent of historical information and physical data relating to a contaminated site, the complexity of the site, the uncertainty as to what remediation and technology will be required, and the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies and, if applicable, other responsible parties. In future periods, new laws or regulations, advances in remediation technologies and additional information about the ultimate remediation methodology to be used could significantly change our estimates. Refer to Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional details. We cannot ensure that environmental requirements will not change or become more stringent over time or that our eventual environmental costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of current reserves. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded, our results of operations could be materially affected.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In determining whether the fair value of asset retirement obligations ("ARO") can reasonably be estimated, we must determine if the obligation can be assessed in relation to the acquisition price of the related asset or if an active market exists to transfer the obligation. If the obligation cannot be assessed in connection with an acquisition price and if no market exists for the transfer of the obligation, we must determine if it has sufficient information upon which to estimate the obligation using expected present value techniques. This determination requires us to estimate the range of settlement dates and the potential methods of settlement, and then to assign the probabilities to the various potential settlement dates and methods. The majority of the identified ARO liabilities involve Asbestos related cleanup. Refer to Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional details. We cannot ensure that ARO requirements will not change or become more stringent over time or that our eventual environmental costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of current reserves. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded, our results of operations could be materially affected.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Investments in Affiliates and Expected Useful Lives

We monitor our long-lived and definite lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis based on projections of anticipated future cash flows, including future profitability assessments of various manufacturing sites when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If impairment indicators exist, we perform the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Even if an impairment charge is not required, a reassessment of the useful lives over which depreciation or amortization is being recognized may be appropriate based on our assessment of the recoverability of these assets. We estimate cash flows and fair value using internal budgets based on recent sales data, independent automotive production volume estimates and customer commitments, and review of appraisals. The key factors which impact our estimates are (1) future production estimates; (2) customer preferences and decisions; (3) product pricing; (4) manufacturing and material cost estimates; and (5) product life / business retention. Any differences in actual results from the estimates could result in fair values different from the estimated fair values, which could materially effect our future results of operations and financial condition. We believe the projections of anticipated future cash flows and fair value assumptions are reasonable; however, changes in assumptions underlying these estimates could affect our valuations.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing

We review goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. We perform impairment assessments at the reporting unit level. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount (step 1), goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step is not required. However, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the second step is to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step requires a reporting unit to compare its implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the reporting unit would recognize an impairment loss for that excess. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis that have the most significant effect on the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units are the weighted average cost of capital and revenue growth-rates.

We perform an annual impairment analysis of our trademarks and brand names annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired. We perform quantitative assessment estimating fair values based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets. Our trademarks and brand names further broken down by product line. The primary, and most sensitive, input utilized in determining the fair values of trademarks and brand names is sales by product line. We Company performed a sensitivity analysis on its trademarks and brand names and determined that a one percentage point decrease in its projected future sales growth rates within each aftermarket product line would result in a $1 million impairment.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in tax laws or accounting standards and methods may affect recorded deferred taxes in future periods.

When establishing a valuation allowance, we consider future sources of taxable income such as “future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards” and “tax planning strategies.” A tax planning strategy is defined as “an action that: is prudent and feasible; an enterprise ordinarily might not take, but would take to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused; and would result in realization of deferred tax assets.” In the event we determine it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax assets will be charged to earnings in the period in which we make such a determination. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment and accounting for the deferred tax effect of events that have been recorded in the financial statements or in tax returns and our future projected profitability. Changes in our estimates, due to unforeseen events or otherwise, could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We calculate our current and deferred tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed in subsequent years. Adjustments based on filed returns are recorded when identified. The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time. We use a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax

positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We record a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax return. To the extent that our assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. We report tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the tax related balances or valuation allowance balances. However, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may be materially different from the current estimate. Refer to Note 16, Income Taxes, to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

Non-GAAP Measures:

Management utilizes Operational EBITDA as the key performance measure of segment profitability and uses the measure in its financial and operational decision making processes; for internal reporting; and for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources. Operational EBIDTA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), as adjusted for additional amounts. Examples of these adjustments include impairment charges related to goodwill, other long-lived assets and investments; restructuring charges; certain gains or losses on the settlement/extinguishment of obligations; and receivable financing charges. During 2015, we modified our definition of Operational EBITDA to adjust for financing charges related to certain receivable financing programs. Comparable periods have been adjusted to conform to this definition.

Operational EBITDA presents a performance measure exclusive of capital structure and the method by which net assets were acquired, disposed of, or financed. Management believes this measure provides additional transparency into its core operations and is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our operating segments and reporting units. The measure also allows management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among operating segments.

Operational EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Operational EBITDA that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operational EBITDA, as determined and measured by Federal Mogul, should not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our results of operations should be read in connection with Items 1, 3 and 7A of this Form 10-K, as well as “Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 1.A. “Risk Factors.” These items provide additional relevant information regarding the business, our strategy, and the various industry dynamics in the OE market and the aftermarket which have a direct and significant effect on our results of operations, as well as the risks associated with our business.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2015 to Year Ended December 31, 2014

Sales: Consolidated net sales increased by $102 million, or 1.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase over 2014 sales was primarily driven by a 10% increase in sales volumes of $743 million (which included a $657 million benefit from acquisitions) and was substantially offset by a $642 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange.

Cost of Sales: Cost of products sold increased by $85 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was driven by a $645 million in incremental costs related to higher sales volumes attributable to acquisitions, and partly to volumes related to organic growth. This was substantially offset by the $529 million favorable effect of foreign currency exchange and $31 million of savings from net performance. Net performance gains were burdened by incremental costs associated with the realignment of our North American distribution centers within our Motorparts division and strategic initiatives within both divisions.

Gross Profit: Gross profit as a percentage of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 14.5% compared to 14.4% for the year ended December 31, 2014. Gross profit increased by $17 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily driven by the favorable effects of higher sales volumes (net of changes in mix) of $98 million, which included the effect from acquisitions, $32 million favorable effects of net performance. These favorable effects were substantially offset by the negative effects of foreign currency exchange.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense: Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of sales, was 10.7% for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to 10.6% for the year ended December 31, 2014. This increase of $18 million is primarily attributable to the addition of SG&A expenses associated with acquisitions, partially offset by foreign exchange. Included in SG&A was a $7 million charge related to the bankruptcy of one of our aftermarket customers.

Research and development (“R&D”) costs, including product and validation costs, of $189 million and $192 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Goodwill and intangible impairment expense, net: Goodwill and intangible asset impairments decreased by $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. During 2015, we impaired $50 million and $44 million of goodwill related to our Motorparts and Powertrain segments. During 2014, we impaired $120 million of goodwill related to our Motorparts segment.

Restructuring charges and asset impairments: Restructuring charges and asset impairments increased by $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. This was driven by overall higher severance and other charges of $3 million, primarily related to our overall restructuring efforts in Europe, and an increase in asset impairments of $8 million, primarily related to an impairment of assets held for sale during 2015.

Amortization expense: Amortization expense increased by $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. During 2015, we completed the acquisition of TRW’s valvetrain business thereby adding $107 million of definite lived intangible assets which contributed to the increase in amortization expense.

Equity earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates: Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates increased by $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily driven by increased earnings at a number of our nonconsolidated affiliates, including an initial investment in two new affiliates,

and the sale of a nonconsolidated affiliate that incurred a loss of $1 million in 2014.

Loss on Debt extinguishment: Loss on Debt extinguishment was $24 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. In 2014, we entered into a new tranche B term loan facility and a new tranche C term loan facility and repaid our existing outstanding indebtedness under previous facilities. In conjunction with the transaction, we recorded a loss on retirement of debt of $24 million, including the write-off of a portion of related debt issuance costs and debt discount.

Interest Expense, Net: Net interest expense was $138 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $120 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily attributable to the realization of higher interest rates for the full year, and increased borrowings under the Replacement Revolving Facility, offset by lower amortization costs.

Other Income (Expense), Net: Other expense, net was $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The primary reason for the decrease is a $6 million reduction in the amount of segmentation costs recognized for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.

Income tax (expense) / benefit: For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded an income tax expense of $30 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $81 million, compared to income tax expense of $56 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $105 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to goodwill impairment, pre-tax losses with no tax benefits, partially offset by pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that are believed to be not more likely than not to be realized and a tax benefit recorded related to special economic zone tax incentive.

The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to goodwill impairment, pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. Statutory rate, recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that are believed to be not more likely than not to be realized, income in jurisdictions with no tax expense due to offsetting valuation allowance release, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits and a tax benefit recorded related to special economic zone tax incentive.

Gain (loss) from discontinued operation, net of tax: During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized a $7 million adjustment (no income tax effect) which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” within the consolidated statement of operations related to a 2013 divestiture of our fuel pump business.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2014 to Year Ended December 31, 2013

Sales: Consolidated net sales increased by $531 million, or 8%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase over 2013 sales was primarily driven by a 9% increase in sales volumes resulting from a $356 million benefit from acquisitions, higher demand, and organic growth, together totaling $612 million, which was partially offset by a $51 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange.

Cost of Sales: Cost of products sold increased by $494 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily driven by a $505 million increase in costs primarily related to higher sales volumes, which is partly attributable to acquisitions, and $32 million of unfavorable net performance. These costs were partially offset by the $43 million favorable effect of foreign currency exchange.

Gross Profit: Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 14.4% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 15.0% for the year ended December 31, 2013. While gross profit increased by $37 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to increased sales volumes, the gross profit margin decreased primarily due to: changes in mix and pricing, and increases to strategic initiatives and unfavorable productivity.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense: Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of sales, was 10.6% for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The increase of $57 million is primarily attributable to the addition of SG&A expenses associated with acquisitions. Included in SG&A were research and development (“R&D”) costs, including product and validation costs, of $192 million and $173 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Goodwill and intangible impairment expense, net: Goodwill and intangible asset impairments increased by $120 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. During 2014, we impaired $120 million of goodwill related to our Motorparts segment.

Interest Expense, Net: Net interest expense was $120 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $99 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the increased interest rates after the refinancing of our term loans in April 2014.

Restructuring charges and asset impairments: Restructuring charges and asset impairments increased by $81 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily related to higher severance and other charges of $46 million, primarily related to our overall restructuring efforts in Europe, an increase in asset impairments of $16 million, which included a $5 million impairment of a nonconsolidated affiliate, partially offset by an OPEB curtailment gain recorded in 2013 that was related to a restructuring action.

Amortization expense: Amortization expense increased by $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. During 2014, we completed the acquisition of certain Affinia assets and DZV bearings operations thereby adding $52 million of definite lived intangible assets which contributed to the increase in amortization expense.

Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates: Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates increased by $14 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily driven by increased earnings at nonconsolidated affiliates located in the Asia and EMEA regions.

Other Expense, Net: Other expense, net was $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The primary reason for the increase is the recognition of $10 million in segmentation costs during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Foreign currency exchange: We recognized $7 million in foreign currency exchange losses during the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $10 million in foreign currency exchange losses during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Income tax (expense) / benefit: For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded income tax expense of $56 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $105 million, compared to income tax expense of $56 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $157 million for the year ended December 31, 2013

offsetting valuation allowance release, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits and a tax benefit recorded related to special economic zone tax incentive.

The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to goodwill impairment with no tax benefit and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit, partially offset by pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. Statutory rate, income in jurisdictions with no tax expense due to offsetting valuation allowance release, release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlements, valuation allowance release, and a tax benefit recorded related to special economic zone tax incentive.

Gain (loss) from discontinued operation net of tax: During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a $52 million loss which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” within the consolidated statement of operations related to the divestiture of three separate businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

As summarized in the table below, net cash provided from (used by) operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:



	Years Ended December 31
	2015			2014			2013

Net Cash Provided From (Used by) Operating Activities	$	38		$	278		$	418

The decrease in cash provided by operations for 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily the result of: a $164 million increase in working capital requirements during 2015 as compared to a $59 million increase in the prior year (the increase was primarily driven by higher inventory levels required to support the realignment of the aftermarket distribution footprint); higher cash interest payments of $22 million; lower cash dividends from non-consolidated affiliates of $14 million; and a net increase in payments related to other operating expenses offset by the slight benefit of higher margins and performance improvements.

The decrease in cash provided by operations for 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily the result of: a $59 million increase in working capital requirements during 2014 as compared to a $59 million decrease in the prior year (the increase was required to support higher sales volumes); higher cash interest payments of $34 million; lower cash dividends from non-consolidated affiliates of $8 million; a the slight benefit of higher margins; and a net decrease in payments related to other operating expenses.

Investing Activities

As summarized in the table below, net cash provided from (used by) investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:



	Years Ended December 31
	2015		2014		2013
	(Millions of Dollars)

Capital investment in nonconsolidated affiliate	(14	)	—		(4	)
Net cash provided from (used by) investing activities	(787	)	(735	)	(355	)

Capital expenditures were $440 million, $418 million and $380 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These capital expenditures were primarily related to investing in new facilities, upgrading existing products, continuing new product launches, and infrastructure and equipment at our facilities to support our manufacturing, distribution and cost reduction efforts. We expect to spend between $390 million and $440 million on capital expenditures during 2016, depending on timing of expenditures, as we continue to invest in our strategic priorities and growth.

During 2015, we acquired TRW’s valvetrain business for $374 million. During 2014, we also made total payments of $321 million to acquire businesses, which included: $15 million to acquire the DZV bearings business, including assumed debt of $10 million; $140 million to acquire the Affinia chassis business, exclusive of $9 million of contingent consideration classified within financing activities; $156 million to acquire the Honeywell brake component business; and $10 million related to other acquisitions.

During 2013, we received net proceeds of $26 million from divesting our sintered components operations located in France, our connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada, our camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom, and our fuel pump business, which included an aftermarket business component and a manufacturing and research and development facility located in the United States.

Financing Activities

Cash flow provided from (used by) financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013:



	Years Ended December 31
	2015		2014		2013

Net proceeds (remittances) on servicing of factoring arrangements	—		(1	)	(4	)
Net cash provided from (used by) financing activities	627		35		242

During 2015, net borrowings under the revolving line of credit increased by $357 million. The revolver was used to fund the acquisition of TRW’s valvetrain business. We also issued 19 million shares of common stock for $250 million during 2015.

On April 15, 2014, we entered into a new tranche B term loan facility (the “New Tranche B Facility”) and a new tranche C term loan facility (the “New Tranche C Facility,” and together with the New Tranche B Facility, the “New Term Facilities”). Immediately following the closing of the New Term Facilities, we contributed all of the net proceeds from the New Facilities and repaid our existing outstanding indebtedness as a borrower under the tranche B and tranche C term loan facilities.

During 2013, we completed a $500 million common stock rights offering and made a $250 million prepayment on our tranche B term loan.

Liquidity

The following table summarizes our available liquidity:



	Years Ended December 31
	2015		2014		2013
	(Millions of Dollars)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	194	$	332	$	761
Available under credit facilities	$	170	$	516	$	550

Our ability to maintain liquidity adequate to fund our needs depends generally on the results of our operations, spending on capital and restructuring initiatives, and the availability of financing. We believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations, available borrowings under our revolving credit facility and ability to secure additional borrowings will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and meet our operating obligations through the end of 2016. In the longer term, we believe that our base operating potential, supplemented by the benefits from our announced restructuring programs, will provide adequate long-term

cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that such initiatives are achievable in this regard.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

	2015			2014			2013
	(Millions of Dollars)
Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales	$	1,550		$	1,679		$	1,482
Losses on sales of account receivables	(9		)	(6		)	(7		)

Accounts receivables factored but not qualifying as a sale were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within “Accounts receivable, net” and “Short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt.”

The financing charges on sales of accounts receivable are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within other income/(expense), net. Where we receive a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.

Certain of the facilities contain terms that require us to share in the credit risk of the sold receivables. The maximum exposures to us associated with these certain facilities’ terms were $11 million and $17 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Subsequent Events

On January 1, 2016, we completed the sale of one of our subsidiaries in France.

In February 2016, we increased our borrowing capacity under our revolving line of credit by $50 million up to $600 million.

On February 29, 2016, the Company announced its receipt of a proposal from its majority shareholder, IEP to purchase the shares of Federal-Mogul common stock not owned by IEP in a merger transaction.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain global market risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk, and interest rate risk associated with our debt.

Direct responsibility for the execution of our market risk management strategies resides with our Treasurer’s Office and is governed by written policies and procedures. In accordance with our corporate risk management policies, we use derivative instruments, when available, such as forward contracts and options that economically hedge certain exposures (foreign currency and commodity). We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative instruments is included in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk - We have currency exposures related to buying, selling, and financing in currencies other than the local currencies in which we operate. At December 31, 2015, our most significant foreign currency exposures were Brazilian real, British pound, Chinese yuan renminbi, euro, Indian rupee, and Mexican peso. Historically, we have reduced our exposure through financial instruments (hedges) that provide offsets or limits to our exposures, which are opposite to the underlying transactions. We did not hold any foreign currency price hedge contracts at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to the translation and remeasurement of the results of certain international operations into U.S. Dollars as part of the consolidation process. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can therefore create volatility in the results of operations and may adversely affect our financial condition.

The following table summarizes the amounts of foreign currency translation and transaction losses (dollars in millions):



	Years Ended December 31,
	2015		2014
Translation losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income	$	237	$	248
Transaction losses recorded in earnings	3		7

Commodity Price Risk - Commodity swaps/average rate forward contracts are executed to offset a portion of our exposure to the potential change in prices mainly for various non-ferrous metals used in the manufacturing of automotive components. The net fair value of our contracts was a liability of approximately $3 million and approximately $1 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014. At December 31, 2015, we performed a sensitivity analysis to assess the effects of a 10% adverse change in commodity prices. Based upon the analysis performed, such changes would not be expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk - Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relate primarily to our debt obligations. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had approximately $3.1 billion and $2.7 billion of debt which primarily bear variable interest rates. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, we did not have any interest rate swap positions to manage interest rate exposures. Our term loans which represent approximately $2.6 billion of our debt at December 31, 2015, is not sensitive to changes in market interest rate because the market rate is substantially below the interest rate floor within our credit agreement. Therefore, an adverse market change in interest rates of 10% would have no effect on cash flows. Our revolving line of credit also has variable market interest rates and the effect on cash flow from a 10% adverse change in market rates would be de minimis.

Our remaining debt consists of foreign debt with primarily variable interest rates. An adverse market change in interest rates of 10% would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment. Management has identified a material weakness in the operating effectiveness of information technology general controls. More specifically, the Company was not consistently following its processes and procedures during 2015 to execute and monitor change management controls or to restrict or monitor access to certain of its Information Technology (“IT”) systems. These processes and procedures are intended to ensure that access to financial applications and data is adequately restricted to appropriate personnel and that all changes affecting the financial applications and underlying account records are identified, authorized, tested and implemented appropriately. Additionally, as a result of the deficiencies identified, there is a possibility that the effectiveness of business process controls that are dependent on the affected IT systems or data and financial reports generated from the affected IT systems may be adversely affected.

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. The material weakness identified above was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2015 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated February 29, 2016 which expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management’s statement referring to their remediation plan and the related benefits of implementing new controls.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015. Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted new accounting guidance in 2015, related to the presentation of deferred income taxes.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 29, 2016 expressed an adverse opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In millions, except per share amounts)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation was incorporated as a Delaware Corporation in 2014. The Company is a leading global supplier of technology and innovation in vehicle and industrial products for fuel economy, emissions reduction, and safety systems. The Company serves the world’s foremost original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and servicers (“OES”) (collectively, “OE”) of automotive, light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, off-road, agricultural, marine, rail, aerospace, power generation and industrial equipment, as well as the worldwide aftermarket.

Holding Company Reorganization: On April 15, 2014, Federal-Mogul Corporation completed a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the outstanding shares of Federal-Mogul Corporation common stock were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation common stock, and all of the stockholders of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Reorganization automatically became stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. The rights of stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation are generally governed by Delaware law and Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are the same in all material respects as those of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Reorganization. In addition, the board of directors of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation and its Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are composed of the same members as the board of directors, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee of Federal-Mogul Corporation prior to the Reorganization.

References herein to the “Company,” “Federal-Mogul,” “we,” “us,” “our” refer to Federal-Mogul Corporation for the period prior to the effective time of the Reorganization on April 15, 2014 and to Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation for the period after the effective time of the Reorganization.

Controlling Ownership: As of December 31, 2015 Mr. Carl C. Icahn indirectly controls approximately 81.99% of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock and, by virtue of such stock ownership, is able to control or exert substantial influence over the Company, including the election of directors, business strategy and policies, mergers or other business combinations, acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of common stock or other securities, incurrence of debt or obtaining other sources of financing, and the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock. The existence of a controlling stockholder may have the effect of making it difficult for, or may discourage or delay, a third party from seeking to acquire a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of the stock.

Spinoff: On January 15, 2016, the Company announced it terminated the previously announced spin-off of its Motorparts division. The Company will continue to operate with two separate, independent businesses with separate CEOs who will each report directly the Company's board of directors. The separate businesses more effectively serve their unique markets and allow each operating business to pursue its business strategy and more quickly react to its respective market conditions.

Deconsolidations: In 2012, the Company began exiting substantially all its activities in Venezuela with only residual cash and de minimis administrative costs remaining in 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company concluded that the inability to freely exchange currency between the Venezuelan bolivar currency and the U.S. dollar coupled with the significant government regulations and restrictions then in place severely limited its ability to manage and control its Venezuelan operations. As a result, the Company's Venezuelan subsidiary was deconsolidated as of December 31, 2014. The effect of the deconsolidation was a $2 million dollar charge included in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. In 2015, the Company had no operations in Venezuela.

2 . BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation: The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of the Company, all wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any partially-owned subsidiary that the Company has the ability to control. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for using the cost method. See Note 12, Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates, for discussion regarding the Company's subsidiaries that are subject to regulatory control.

The Company does not consolidate any entity for which it has a variable interest based solely on power to direct the activities and significant participation in the entity’s expected results that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting interests. Further, the Company’s affiliates are businesses established and maintained in connection with the Company’s operating strategy. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications from the prior year presentation have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.

Cash and Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of accounts receivable, cash investments and derivative instruments. The Company’s customer base includes virtually every significant global light and commercial vehicle manufacturer and a large number of distributors, installers and retailers of automotive aftermarket parts. The Company’s credit evaluation process and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions help to mitigate credit risk concentration. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales during 2015 and one customer accounts for approximately 11.2% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2015. The Company requires placement of cash in financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy. See Note 7 for further discussion related to derivatives.

Divestitures: In connection with its strategic planning process, the Company assesses its operations for market position, product technology and capability, and profitability. Those businesses determined by management not to have a sustainable competitive advantage are considered non-core and may be considered for divestiture or other exit activities. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company divested its sintered components operations located in France, its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada, its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom and its fuel pump business, which included an aftermarket business component and a manufacturing and research and development facility located in the United States. These divestitures have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, for further details.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Trade accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value, which approximates fair value. The Company does not generally require collateral for its trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as the balances become past due, the financial condition of its customers, and the Company’s historical experience of write-offs. The Company’s general policy for uncollectible accounts, if not reserved through specific examination procedures, is to reserve based upon the aging categories of accounts receivable and whether amounts are due from an original equipment manufacturer or servicer (“OE”) or aftermarket customer. Past due status is based upon the invoice date of the original amounts outstanding. Included in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are bad debt expenses of $13 million, $5 million and $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $27 million and $18 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Factoring of Accounts Receivable: The Company has subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and the United States which are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Amounts factored under these facilities consist of the following:



	As of December 31
	2015		2014
Gross accounts receivable factored	$	408	$	306
Gross accounts receivable factored, qualifying as sales	401		293
Undrawn cash on factored accounts receivable	1		2

Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and expenses associated with the factoring of accounts receivable are as follows:



	Year Ended December 31
	2015			2014			2013
Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales	$	1,550		$	1,679		$	1,482
Financing charges	(9		)	(6		)	(7		)

Accounts receivables factored but not qualifying as a sale, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within “Accounts receivable, net” and “Short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt.”

The financing charges totaled $9 million as of December 31, 2015 and are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other income (expense), net.” Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.

Certain of the facilities contain terms that require the Company to share in the credit risk of the sold receivables. The maximum exposures to the Company associated with these certain facilities’ terms were $11 million and $17 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Inventories: The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Cost of inventory includes direct materials, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead costs. The value of inventories are reduced for excess and obsolescence based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage.

Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment are recorded at fair value established at acquisition or cost unless the expected future use of the assets indicate a lower value is appropriate. Definite-lived intangible assets have been stated at fair value established at acquisition or at cost. Long-lived assets are periodically reviewed for impairment indicators. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required analysis and records an impairment charge, if required, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant & Equipment. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Depreciation and amortization is computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.

Goodwill: Goodwill is determined as the excess of fair value over amounts attributable to specific tangible and intangible assets, including developed technology and customer relationships. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This impairment analysis compares the fair values of the Company’s reporting units to their related carrying values. If a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company must then calculate the reporting unit’s implied fair value of goodwill and impairment charges are recorded for any excess of the goodwill carrying value over the implied fair value of goodwill. The reporting units’ fair values are based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved, guideline transaction multiples, and multiples of current and future earnings.

Trademarks and Brand Names: Trademarks and brand names are stated at fair value established at acquisition or cost. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

indicators exist, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This impairment analysis compares the fair values of these assets to the related carrying values, and impairment charges are recorded for any excess of carrying values over fair values. These fair values are based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets.

Pension and Other Postretirement Obligations: The cost of benefits provided by defined benefit pension and postretirement plans is recorded in the period employees provide service. Future pension expense for certain significant funded benefit plans is calculated using an expected return on plan asset methodology. The market-related value of plan assets is fair value. Actuarial gains and losses are accumulated and amortized into net income once they exceed a corridor, which is 10% of the projected benefit obligation, over the expected future working lifetime or life expectancy of the plan participants.

The discount rate assumption is established at the measurement date. In the U.S., the Company uses a cash flow matching approach that uses projected cash flows matched to spot rates along a high quality corporate yield curve to determine the present value of cash flows to calculate a single equivalent discount rate. The benefit obligation for pension plans in Belgium, France, and Germany represents 91% of the non-U.S. pension benefit obligation at December 31, 2015. The discount rates for plans in Belgium, France, and Germany are determined using a cash flow matching approach similar to the U.S. approach.

Investments with registered investment companies, common and preferred stocks, and certain government debt securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.

Corporate debt securities are valued by third-party pricing sources using the multi-dimensional relational model using instruments with similar characteristics.

Hedge funds and the collective trust are valued at net asset value (NAV) per share which are provided by the respective investment sponsors or investment advisers.

Revenue Recognition: The Company records sales when products are shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and the collectability of revenue is reasonably assured. Accruals for sales returns and other allowances are provided at point of sale based upon past experience. Adjustments to such returns and allowances are made as new information becomes available.

Rebates: The Company accrues for rebates pursuant to specific arrangements with certain customers, primarily in the aftermarket. Rebates generally provide for price reductions based upon the achievement of specified purchase volumes and are recorded as a reduction of sales as earned by such customers.

Sales and Sales Related Taxes: The Company collects and remits taxes assessed by various governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions with its customers. These taxes may include, but are not limited to, sales, use, value-added, and some excise taxes. The collection of these taxes is reported on a net basis (excluded from revenues).

Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs as incurred as a component of "Cost of products sold" in the consolidated statements of operations.

Engineering and Tooling Costs: Pre-production tooling and engineering costs that the Company will not own and that will be used in producing products under long-term supply arrangements are expensed as incurred unless the supply arrangement provides the Company with the noncancelable right to use the tools, or the reimbursement of such costs is agreed to by the customer. Pre-production tooling costs that are owned by the Company are capitalized as part of machinery and equipment, and are depreciated over the shorter of the tool’s expected life or the duration of the related program.

Research and Development: The Company expenses research and development (“R&D”) costs as incurred. R&D expense, including product engineering and validation costs, was $189 million, $192 million and $173 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. R&D expense is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”

Advertising Costs: Advertising and promotion expenses for continuing operations are expensed as incurred and were $48 million, $47 million, and $41 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Advertising and promotion expenses are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

Restructuring: Restructuring is comprised of two types of costs: employee costs (principally termination benefits) and facility closure costs. Termination benefits are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 712, Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits and are recorded when it is probable employees will be entitled to benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of termination benefits are based on the frequency of past termination benefits, the similarity of benefits under the current plan and prior plans, and the existence of statutory required minimum benefits. Termination benefits are also accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (“ASC 420”), for one-time termination benefits and are recorded dependent upon future service requirements. Facility closure and other costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 420 and are recorded when the liability is incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation: Exchange adjustments related to international currency transactions and translation adjustments for international subsidiaries whose functional currency is the United States dollar (principally those located in highly inflationary economies) are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Translation adjustments of international subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” Deferred taxes are not provided on translation adjustments as the earnings of the subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested.

Environmental Liabilities: The Company recognizes environmental liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations ("ASC 410") when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Such liabilities are generally not subject to insurance coverage. Engineering and legal specialists within the Company estimate each environmental obligation based on current law and existing technologies. Such estimates are based primarily upon the estimated cost of investigation and remediation required and the likelihood that other potentially responsible parties will be able to fulfill their commitments at the sites where the Company may be jointly and severally liable with such parties. The Company regularly evaluates and revises its estimates for environmental obligations based on expenditures against established accruals and the availability of additional information.

Asset Retirement Obligations: The Company records asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. The Company’s primary ARO activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records AROs when liabilities are probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses interest rate swaps, commodity forward contracts and currency swaps to manage volatility of underlying exposures. The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a financial instrument, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, is recognized in earnings immediately. The gain or loss related to financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. Cash flows related to hedging activities are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize risks using the most effective and cost-efficient methods available.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and provides a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and will require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions. The FASB, through the issuance of ASU No. 2015-14, approved a one year delay of the effective date and the new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement and the implementation approach to be used.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. This ASU amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements. ASU No. 2015-15 is effective upon issuance. Upon adoption of aforementioned guidance the Company will present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from its debt liability. The Company expects the retroactive adoption of this guidance will decrease debt by approximately $9 million as of December 31, 2015.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This ASU requires entities to measure most inventory “at the lower of cost and net realizable value,” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. ASU No. 2015-11 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. Under this ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The effect on earnings of changes in depreciation or amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed as of the acquisition date, must be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined rather than retrospectively. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company expects the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on its financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in this update simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This update applies to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. These amendments may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. If the guidance is applied prospectively, disclosure is made in the first interim and first annual period of change, the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle and a statement that prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. If the guidance is applied retrospectively, disclosure is made in the first interim and first annual period of change, the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle and quantitative information about the effects of the accounting change on prior periods. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is allowed for any interim or annual financial statements that have not been issued. The Company has elected early to adopt this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The amendments in the ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement.

3. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

The Company’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute management’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve productivity improvements and net cost reductions. Restructuring activities include efforts to integrate and rationalize the Company’s businesses and to relocate manufacturing operations to best cost manufacturing locations.

The Company's restructuring charges consist primarily of employee costs (principally severance and/or termination benefits), facility closure and other costs, curtailment losses (gains) related to reductions of pension and retiree medical benefit obligations as a result of headcount reductions, and asset impairments related to restructuring activities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, restructuring charges and asset impairments include the following:

Restructuring

Estimates of restructuring charges are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. In certain countries where the Company operates, statutory requirements include involuntary termination benefits that extend several years into the future. Accordingly, severance payments continue well past the date of termination at many international locations. Thus, restructuring programs appear to be ongoing when, in fact, terminations and other activities have been substantially completed.

Restructuring opportunities include potential plant closures and employee headcount reductions in various countries require consultation with various parties including, but not limited to, unions/works councils, local governments and/or customers. The consultation process can take a significant amount of time and affect the final outcome and timing. The Company's policy is to record a provision for qualifying restructuring costs in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance when the outcome of such consultations becomes probable.

Management expects to finance its restructuring programs through cash generated from its ongoing operations or through cash available under its existing credit facility, subject to the terms of applicable covenants. Management does not expect that the execution of these programs will have an adverse effect on its liquidity position.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially estimated. Accordingly, the Company reduced its liability previously recorded in 2015, 2014 and 2013 by $4 million, $1 million, and $4 million.

Restructuring expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily relate to EMEA locations aimed at reducing production complexities and reducing inefficiencies in indirect and fixed costs structures. We expect to complete these programs in 2017 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of approximately $10 million. For programs previously initiated, we expect to complete these programs in 2018 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of approximately $10 million.

5 . ACQUISITIONS

Affinia Chassis Business Acquisition

On May 1, 2014, the Company completed the Affinia chassis business acquisition. This business serves leading U.S. aftermarket customers with private label chassis product lines and will allow the Company to broaden its product offering, provide operational synergies and better service customers globally. The purchase price was $149 million, net of acquired cash. The Company paid $140 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $9 million in the third quarter of 2014.

A valuation of the assets from the Affinia chassis business acquisition resulted in $71 million allocated to tangible net assets, $26 million allocated to goodwill, and $52 million allocated to other intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date as determined by third party valuation specialists. The valuation of assets was performed utilizing cost, income, and market approaches.

Honeywell Brake Component Acquisition

On July 11, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of certain business assets of the Honeywell brake component business including two recently established manufacturing facilities in China and Romania which substantially strengthens the manufacturing and engineering capabilities of the Company's current global braking portfolio. The business was acquired

through a combination of asset and stock purchases for a base purchase price of $168 million and other incurred liabilities of $15 million.

A valuation of the assets from the Honeywell brake component business acquisition was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches resulting in $183 million allocated to tangible net assets.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

TRW’s Valvetrain Business Acquisition

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Share and Asset Purchase Agreement dated January 23, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of TRW’s valvetrain business. On February 6, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of TRW’s valvetrain business. The business was acquired through a combination of asset and stock purchases for a purchase price of approximately $309 million. On July 7, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of certain additional business assets of the TRW’s valvetrain business. The business was acquired through stock purchases for a base purchase price of approximately $56 million. The purchase included a $25 million noncontrolling interest related to a 66% stake in a majority owned entity that the Company consolidates in its financial statements. The acquisition was funded primarily from the Company's available revolving line of credit and is subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments. The acquisition of TRW’s valvetrain business adds a completely new product line to the Company's portfolio, strengthens the Company's position as a leading developer and supplier of core components for engines, and enhances the Company's ability to support its customers to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing certain customary post-closing adjustments which could have an effect on the third-party valuations of certain tangible assets; thus, the provisional measurements of net assets are subject to change.

6. HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Held-for-Sale Operations

The Company classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale ("disposal group") when management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable within one year, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The Company also considers whether an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, whether the disposal group is marketed actively for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and whether actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

The Company aggregates the assets and aggregate liabilities of all held-for-sale disposal groups on the balance sheet for the period in which the disposal group is held for sale.

In the fourth quarter 2015, the Company entered into a share agreement to sell 100% of the shares of one of its subsidiaries in the Powertrain segment and classified the assets and liabilities as held for sale. The purchase price for the shares was €1. Prior to December 31, 2015, the Company contributed $12 million in cash to the subsidiary. The sale closed on January 1, 2016.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

The assets and liabilities that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2015 were as follows:



Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12
Receivables	1
Inventories	3
Impairment on carrying value	(12		)
Total assets held-for-sale	$	4

Liabilities
Trade payables	$	1
Accrued liabilities	1
Other liabilities	3
Total liabilities held-for-sale	$	5

After the effect of amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, mainly foreign currency translation adjustments of ($1) million as well as additional liabilities the Company will retain as agreed upon per the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has recognized an impairment loss of $12 million which has been included "Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net" in the consolidated statements of operations.

Discontinued Operations

In connection with its strategic planning process, the Company assesses its operations for market position, product technology and capability, and profitability. Those businesses not core to the Company’s long-term portfolio may be considered for divestiture or other exit activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company's Motorparts segment recognized a $7 million adjustment (no income tax effect) which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” within the consolidated statement of operations.

During September 2013, the Company's Motorparts segment completed the divestiture of its fuel pump business. This disposal resulted in a $7 million net gain (inclusive of a $2 million tax benefit), which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” during the year ended December 31, 2013. The termination of those employees and the related reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date of the remaining active plan participants in the U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan triggered a $19 million OPEB curtailment gain which is included in "Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net" within the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2013.

During June 2013, the Company’s Powertrain Segment completed the divestiture of its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada and its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom. This disposal resulted in a $6 million net loss (no income tax effect), which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” during the year ended December 31, 2013.

During March 2013, the Company’s Powertrain Segment completed the divestiture of its sintered components operations located in France. This disposal resulted in a $48 million net loss (no income tax effect), which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” during the year ended December 31, 2013.

7. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, the Company aggregates the exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. For exposures that are not offset within its operations, the Company enters into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, and designation of derivative instruments is performed on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include, copper, tin, high-grade aluminum, aluminum alloy and brass. Forward contracts are used to mitigate commodity price risk associated with raw materials, generally related to purchases forecast for up to fifteen months in the future.

Information regarding the Company’s outstanding commodity price hedge contracts is as follows:



	December 31
	2015			2014
Combined notional value	$	28		$	36
Combined notional value designated as hedging instruments	$	28		$	36
Unrealized net (loss) recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”	$	(2	)	$	(1	)

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Africa. As a result, the Company’s financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and sells its products. The Company generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the euro, British pound and Polish zloty. Foreign currency forwards are also used in conjunction with the Company's commodity hedging program. In order to obtain critical terms match for commodity exposure, the Company engages the use of foreign exchange contracts. The Company did not hold any foreign currency price hedge contracts at December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

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 concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is not material.

Other

The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective hedges, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, are recognized in “Other income (expense), net.” Derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for effective hedges are reclassified into operations upon recognition of the hedged transaction. Derivative gains and losses associated with undesignated hedges are recognized in “Other income (expense), net” for outstanding hedges and “Cost of products sold” or "Other income (expense), net” upon hedge maturity.

The following table discloses the fair values and balance sheet locations of the Company’s derivative instruments, all of which were designated as cash flow hedging instruments:

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:



	Level	1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
	Level	2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
	Level	3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative contracts using an income approach based on valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single, discounted amount. Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured and disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are set forth in the table below:



	Asset (Liability)			Level 2
December 31, 2015:
Commodity contracts	$	(3	)	$	(3	)

December 31, 2014:
Commodity contracts	$	(1	)	$	(1	)

The Company calculates the fair value of its commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts using quoted commodity forward rates and quoted currency forward rates, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values. The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted bank deposit rates.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also have assets that may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these items are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the tables above. These assets include, long-lived assets, intangible assets and investments in affiliates which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment.

The Company has determined the fair value measurements related to each of these assets rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company's assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available. As such, the Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company utilizes the projected cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived assets, then discounts the future cash flows over the useful life of the long-lived assets by using a risk-adjusted rate for the Company. The Company records asset impairments associated with its determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets that exhibited indicators of impairment.

During the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the Company recorded impairment charges of $20 million and $19 million related to property, plant, and equipment, which have been recorded within "Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net" in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company's impairments related to Goodwill are discussed further in Note 11, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Measurement Approach
Term Loans	$	2,559	$	2,273	$	2,583	$	2,571	Level 2

Fair value approximates carrying value for foreign debt as well as the U.S. revolver.

Fair market values are developed by the use of estimates obtained from brokers and other appropriate valuation techniques based on information available as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.

Goodwill

The Company conducts its review for goodwill impairments on October 1 of each year for all reporting units.

Powertrain

Based on our annual goodwill impairment testing we determined that goodwill was impaired for three reporting units within the Powertrain segment, as the fair values decreased below their carrying values. The decreases in fair values during 2015 were driven by decreases in operating results for these reporting units. Based on the results of our annual goodwill impairment test, we recorded an estimate of goodwill impairment charges of $44 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 in our Powertrain segment. Due to the complexity of the second step goodwill impairment test, the Company did not finalize its assessment prior to filing its annual report.

Motorparts

As part of an interim goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2015, the Company determined there were impairment indicators for one of its reporting units and conducted an impairment analysis. Decreases in operating results for certain reporting units as a result of the negative effect of exchange rates and negative economic conditions resulted in impairment indicators prior to the annual impairment assessment. Based on the results of our interim goodwill impairment tests, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $56 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 in our Motorparts segment.

Based on the results of our annual goodwill impairment tests, there were no additional goodwill impairment charges in the year ended December 31, 2015 in our Motorparts segment.

Due to the complexity of the 2014 second step goodwill impairment test, the Company did not finalize its assessment until the first quarter of 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company concluded its assessment of the step two goodwill impairment analysis as of October 1, 2014 and recorded a reduction of $6 million to its initial estimate of the goodwill impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

Additional declines in operating results or forecasts due to a strengthening of the US dollar or deterioration of economic conditions could result in an impairment charge in future periods.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company noted impairment indicators existed in one reporting unit within the Motorparts segment. Among other factors, this reporting unit experienced lower than expected profits and cash flows resulting from decreases in volumes and pricing pressure from customers towards the end of 2014. As a result of these impairment indicators, the Company concluded that there was also a potential impairment of its long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets. These impairment tests were performed before the goodwill impairment test, and an impairment loss related to long-lived assets of $7 million was recognized prior to goodwill being tested for impairment.

The Company then tested goodwill for impairment and determined the carrying value of one reporting unit, within the Motorparts segment, exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, as part of a step two goodwill impairment test, the Company made a preliminary conclusion that the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of that goodwill and an impairment loss of $120 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of the Company's reporting units were determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information, primarily discounted cash flow projections. These fair values require the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, market share and discount rates that represent unobservable inputs into our valuation methodologies. The cash flows are estimated over a significant future period of time, which makes those estimates and assumptions subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples and the quoted market price of our common stock are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow method. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis that have the most significant effect on the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units are:


•	the weighted average cost of capital


•	revenue growth-rates

Reporting Units

The Company has nine reporting units that have goodwill as of December 31, 2015. The following table categorizes the Company’s goodwill by reporting unit as of October 1, 2015 according to the level of excess between the reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value giving effect to the 2015 impairment charges:

As of December 31, 2014, the Motorparts segment moved from a product-centered reporting structure to a regional reporting structure in order to align with its regional focus.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company performs its annual trademarks and brand names impairment analysis as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. This impairment analysis compares the fair values of these assets to the related carrying values, and impairment charges are recorded for any excess of carrying values over fair values. The fair values are based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets.

The Company had no trademark and brand name impairments from the October 1, 2015 and 2014 impairment analysis.

12. INVESTMENT IN NONCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company maintains investments in several nonconsolidated affiliates, which are primarily located in China, Korea, Turkey, India, Germany and the United States. With the exception of the deconsolidated business discussed below, the Company generally equates control to ownership percentage whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are consolidated.

These entities, along with Federal-Mogul Izmit Piston ve Pim Uretim Tesisleri A.S., are collectively referred to herein as the Turkey JVs.

As part of the regulatory approval related to the acquisition of the Honeywell brake component business, the Company committed to divest, or procure the divestiture of the commercial and light vehicle brake pads business relating to the original equipment manufacturers market in the European Economic Area. As such, the Company deconsolidated these subsidiaries and accounted for them as equity method investments until disposition, which have not been included in the table above. The disposition was completed in the first quarter of 2015. As a result, the Company recognized an $11 million loss on disposal recorded in the line item "Other income (expense), net" in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table represents amounts reflected in the Company’s financial statements related to nonconsolidated affiliates:



	Year Ended December 31
	2015		2014		2013
Equity earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates, net of tax	$	56	$	48	$	34
Cash dividends received from nonconsolidated affiliates	11		25		33

At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the carrying amount of our investments in the Turkey JVs exceeded our share of the underlying net assets by $37 million and $43 million, respectively. These differences primarily relate to goodwill and other intangible assets.

The New Term Facilities, among other things, (i) provides for aggregate commitments under the New Tranche B Facility of $700 million with a maturity date of April 15, 2018, (ii) provides for aggregate commitments under the New Tranche C Facility of $1.9 billion with a maturity date of April 15, 2021, (iii) increases the interest rates applicable to the New Facilities as described below, (iv) provides that for all outstanding letters of credit there is a corresponding decrease in borrowings available under the Replacement Revolving Facility, (v) provides that in the event that as of a particular determination date more than $700 million aggregate principal amount of existing term loans and certain related refinancing indebtedness will become due within 91 days of such determination date, the Replacement Revolving Facility will mature on such determination date, (vi) provides for additional incremental indebtedness, secured on a pari passu basis, of an unlimited amount of additional indebtedness if the Company meets a financial covenant incurrence test, and (vii) amends certain other restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the New Term Facilities, Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation assumed all of the obligations of Federal-Mogul Corporation with respect to the Replacement Revolving Facility under the Credit Agreement.

Advances under the New Tranche B Facility generally bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 2.00% or (ii) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus a margin of 3.00%, subject, in each case, to a floor of 1.00%. Advances under the New Tranche C Facility generally bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 2.75% or (ii) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus a margin of 3.75%, subject, in each case, to a minimum rate of 1.00% plus the applicable margin.

On December 6, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of its Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 27, 2007 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) to amend its existing revolving credit facility to provide for a replacement revolving credit facility (the “Replacement Revolving Facility”). The Replacement Revolving Facility, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate commitments available under the Replacement Revolving Facility from $540 million to $550 million, (ii) extended the maturity date of the Replacement Revolving Facility to December 6, 2018, subject to certain limited exceptions described below, and (iii) amended the Company’s borrowing base to provide the Company with additional liquidity.

An unused commitment fee of 0.375% also is payable under the terms of the Replacement Revolving Facility.

In connection with the New Term Facilities, the Company incurred original issue discount of $9 million and debt issuance costs of $6 million in connection with the New Tranche C Facility and original issue discount of $2 million and debt issuance costs of $6 million in connection with the New Tranche B Facility. The discount and debt issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the loans of 84 months and 48 months.

15. PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Defined Contribution Pension Plans

The Company maintains certain defined contribution pension plans for eligible employees. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company amended its U.S. defined contribution plan to allow for an enhanced company match and company provided age-based contributions for eligible U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees. The total expenses attributable to the Company’s defined contribution savings plan were $45 million, $45 million, and $42 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

The amounts contributed to defined contribution pension plans include contributions to multi-employer plans in France, Italy and the United States of $1 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. None of the multiemployer plans in which the Company participates are individually significant.

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans and health care and life insurance benefits for certain employees and retirees around the world. Using appropriate actuarial methods and assumptions, the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement benefits other than pensions are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits. There is also an unfunded nonqualified pension plan primarily covering U.S. executives.

The funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute the minimum required by applicable laws and regulations or to directly pay benefit payments where appropriate. At December 31, 2015 all legal funding requirements had been met. We expect to contribute $37 million to our U.S. qualified plans, $2 million to our U.S. non-qualified plans, and $33 million to our non-U.S. pension plans in 2016.

Other Postretirement Benefits - U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan

The Company recognized aggregate OPEB curtailment gains of $38 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In May 2013, the Company ceased operations at one of its U.S. manufacturing locations. As this location participated in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, the Company had this plan re-measured due to its curtailment implications. The resulting reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date of the remaining active plan participants in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan triggered the recognition of a $19 million OPEB curtailment gain, which was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Additionally, in the third quarter of 2013, the Company completed the sale of its fuel manufacturing facility and research and development center located in the U.S., resulting in the termination of certain employees that participated in the Company's U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan. The resulting reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date of the remaining active plan participants triggered the recognition of an additional OPEB curtailment gain of $19 million, which is included in gain on discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Other Benefits

The Company accounts for benefits to former or inactive employees paid after employment but before retirement pursuant to ASC Topic 712, Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits. The liabilities for such U.S. and European postemployment benefits were $26 million and $25 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Estimated amounts to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost in the year ending December 31, 2016 based on December 31, 2015 plan measurements are $15 million, consisting primarily of amortization of the net actuarial loss in the U.S. pension plans.

Long-term Rate of Return

The Company’s expected return on assets is established annually through analysis of anticipated future long-term investment performance for the plan based upon the asset allocation strategy. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term prospective rate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

The study was performed in December 2015 resulting in changes to the expected long-term rate of return on assets. The weighted-average long-term rate of return on assets for the U.S. plans decreased from 6.6% at December 31, 2014 to 5.7% at December 31, 2015. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in determining pension expense for non-U.S. plans is determined in a similar manner to the U.S. plans and decreased from 3.5% at December 31, 2014 to 3.2% at December 31, 2015.

Health Care Trend

The assumed health care and drug cost trend rates used to measure next year’s postemployment healthcare benefits are as follows:



	Other Postretirement Benefits
	2015		2014
Initial health care cost trend rate	6.97	%	7.25	%
Ultimate health care cost trend rate	5.00	%	5.00	%
Year ultimate health care cost trend rate reached	2022		2022

The assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the amounts reported for Other Postretirement Benefits plans. The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in the assumed health care cost trend rate:

Plan Assets

Certain pension plans sponsored by the Company invest in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes that attempts to maximize returns while minimizing volatility. These asset classes include developed market equities, emerging market equities, private equity, global high quality and high yield fixed income, real estate, and absolute return strategies.

U.S. Plan

As of December 31, 2015, plan assets were comprised of 61% equity investments, 23% fixed income investments, and 16% in other investments which include hedge funds. Approximately 73% of the U.S. plan assets were invested in actively managed investment funds. The Company’s investment strategy includes a target asset allocation of 50% equity investments, 25% fixed income investments and 25% in other investment types including hedge funds.

The U.S. investment strategy mitigates risk by incorporating diversification across appropriate asset classes to meet the plan’s objectives. It is intended to reduce risk, provide long-term financial stability for the plan and maintain funded levels that meet long-term plan obligations while preserving sufficient liquidity for near-term benefit payments. Risk assumed is considered appropriate for the return anticipated and consistent with the diversification of plan assets.

Non-U.S. Plans

The insurance contracts guarantee a minimum rate of return. The Company has no input into the investment strategy of the assets underlying the contracts, but they are typically heavily invested in active bond markets and are highly regulated by local law.

The majority of the assets of the non-U.S. plans are invested through insurance contracts. The insurance contracts guarantee a minimum rate of return. The Company has no input into the investment strategy of the assets underlying the contracts, but they are typically heavily invested in active bond markets and are highly regulated by local law. The target asset allocation for the non-U.S. pension plans is 70% insurance contracts, 25% debt investments and 5% equity investments.

16. INCOME TAXES

Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The components of (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes consist of the following:

In 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as related valuation allowances, to be classified as non-current rather than as current and non-current based on the classification of the related assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the provisions of this update in 2015. Accordingly, $45 million and $16 million of deferred taxes have been reclassified from other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, to other long-term assets and other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.

The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance related to its net deferred tax assets in multiple jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had valuation allowances of $966 million related to tax loss and credit carryforwards. The current and future provision for income taxes may be significantly affected by changes to valuation allowances in certain countries. These allowances will be maintained until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowance is eliminated.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had a deferred tax asset before valuation allowance of $1,059 million for tax loss carryforwards and tax credits, including: $660 million in the United States with expiration dates from 2016 through 2035; $132 million in the United Kingdom with no expiration date; and $267 million in other jurisdictions with various expiration dates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

The Company has also concluded that there is a more than remote possibility that existing valuation allowances of up to $157 million as of December 31, 2015 could be released within the next 12 months. If releases of such valuation allowances occur, they may have a significant effect on results of operations in the quarter in which it is deemed appropriate to release the reserve. Income taxes paid, net of income tax refunds received, were $44 million, $42 million and $38 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

The Company did not record taxes on its undistributed earnings of $879 million at December 31, 2015 since these earnings are considered by the Company to be permanently reinvested. If at some future date these earnings cease to be permanently reinvested, the Company may be subject to United States income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on such amounts. Determining the unrecognized deferred tax liability on the potential distribution of these earnings is not practicable as such liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances existing when remittance occurs.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $194 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $95 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The Company asserts that these funds are indefinitely reinvested due to operational and investing needs of the foreign locations. Furthermore, the Company will accrue any applicable taxes in the period when the Company no longer intends to indefinitely reinvest these funds. The Company would expect that the effect on cash taxes would be immaterial due to: the availability of net operation loss carryforwards and related valuation allowances; earnings considered previously taxed; and applicable tax treaties.

At December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company had total unrecognized tax benefits of $37 million, $50 million and $78 million. Of these totals, $29 million, $44 million and $47 million, represent the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rates. The total unrecognized tax benefits differ from the amounts which would affect the effective tax rates primarily due to the effect of valuation allowances.

A summary of the changes in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are shown below:



	Year Ended December 31
	2015			2014			2013
Change in unrecognized tax benefits

Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	6			7			7

The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $7 million, $12 million and $23 million in liabilities for tax-related net interest and penalties on its consolidated balance sheet. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax (expense) benefit related to a net change in its liability for interest and penalties of $(5) million, $11 million and $(8) million.

The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2011 or state and local for years before 2008, with limited exceptions. Furthermore, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations in major foreign tax jurisdictions for years prior to 2005. The income tax returns of foreign subsidiaries in various tax jurisdictions are currently under examination.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits in multiple jurisdictions, which primarily relate to transfer pricing, corporate reorganization and various other matters, may decrease by approximately $2 million in the next 12 months due to audit settlements or statute expirations, of which approximately $1 million, if recognized, could affect the effective tax rate.

On July 11, 2013, Federal-Mogul Corporation became part of the Icahn Enterprises. L.P. affiliated group of corporations as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the Code"), as amended, of which American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”) is the common parent. The Company subsequently entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (the “Tax Allocation Agreement”) with AEP. Pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, AEP and the Company have agreed to the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

allocation of certain income tax items. The Company will join AEP in the filing of AEP’s federal consolidated return and certain state consolidated returns. In those jurisdictions where the Company is filing consolidated returns with AEP, the Company will pay to AEP any tax it would have owed had it continued to file separately. To the extent that the AEP consolidated group is able to reduce its tax liability as a result of including the Company in its consolidated group, AEP will pay the Company an amount equal to 20% of such reduction and the Company will carryforward for its own use under the Tax Allocation Agreement 80% of the items that caused the tax reduction (the “Excess Tax Benefits”). While a member of the AEP affiliated group, the Company will reduce the amounts it would otherwise owe AEP by the Excess Tax Benefits. Moreover, if the Company should ever become deconsolidated from AEP, AEP will reimburse the Company for any tax liability in post-consolidation years the Company would not have paid had it actually had the Excess Tax Benefits for its own use. The cumulative payments to the Company by AEP post-consolidation cannot exceed the cumulative reductions in tax to the AEP group resulting from including the Company in its consolidation group. Separate return methodology will be used in determining income taxes.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, the Company’s share of the total waste sent to these sites has generally been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is limited.

On a global basis, the Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is actively seeking to resolve these actual and potential statutory, regulatory and contractual obligations. Although difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, the Company has accrued amounts corresponding to its best estimate of the costs associated with such regulatory and contractual obligations on the basis of available information from site investigations and best professional judgment of consultants.

Total environmental liabilities, determined on an undiscounted basis are included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:



	December 31,		December 31,
	2015		2014
Other current liabilities	$	4	$	6
Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent)	10		9
	$	14	$	15

Management believes that recorded environmental liabilities will be adequate to cover the Company’s estimated liability for its exposure in respect to such matters. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded by the Company, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected. At December 31, 2015, management estimates that reasonably possible material additional losses above and beyond management’s best estimate of required remediation costs as recorded approximate $45 million.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. The Company’s primary ARO activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount can be reasonably estimated,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

typically upon the expectation that an operating site may be closed or sold. ARO fair values are determined based on the Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the remediation activities, generally using a present value technique.

For those sites that the Company identifies in the future for closure or sale, or for which it otherwise believes it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of potential settlement dates, the Company will review these sites for both ARO and impairment issues.

The Company has identified sites with contractual obligations and several sites that are closed or expected to be closed and sold. In connection with these sites, the Company maintains ARO liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:



	December 31,		December 31,
	2015		2014
Other current liabilities	$	2	$	3
Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent)	14		21
	$	16	$	24

The following is a rollforward of the Company’s ARO liability for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:



Balance at December 31, 2013	$	26
Liabilities incurred	—
Liabilities settled/adjustments	(1		)
Foreign Currency	(1		)
Balance at December 31, 2014	24
Liabilities incurred	—
Liabilities settled/adjustments	(6		)
Foreign Currency	(2		)
Balance at December 31, 2015	$	16

The Company has conditional asset retirement obligations (“CARO”), primarily related to removal costs of hazardous materials in buildings, for which it believes reasonable cost estimates cannot be made at this time because the Company does not believe it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of potential settlement dates for these retirement obligations. Accordingly, the Company is currently unable to determine amounts to accrue for CARO at such sites.

Affiliate Pension Obligations

As a result of the more than 80% ownership interest in the Company by Mr. Icahn’s affiliates, the Company is subject to the pension liabilities of all entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80%. One such entity, ACF Industries LLC ("ACF"), is the sponsor of several pension plans. All the minimum funding requirements of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 for these plans have been met as of December 31, 2015. If the ACF plans were voluntarily terminated, they would be underfunded by approximately $101 million as of December 31, 2015. These results are based on the most recent information provided by the plans’ actuaries. These liabilities could increase or decrease, depending on a number of factors, including future changes in benefits, investment returns, and the assumptions used to calculate the liability. As members of the controlled group, the Company would be liable for any failure of ACF to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon a termination of the pension plans of ACF. In addition, other entities now or in the future within the controlled group in which the Company is included may have pension plan obligations that are, or may become, underfunded and the Company would be liable for any failure of such entities to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon termination of such plans. Further, the failure to pay these pension obligations when due may result in the creation of liens in favor of the pension plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) against the assets of each member of the controlled group.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC have undertaken to indemnify the Company for any and all liability imposed upon the Company pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or any regulation thereunder (“ERISA”) resulting from the Company being considered a member of a controlled group within the meaning of ERISA § 4001(a)(14) of which American Entertainment Properties Corporation is a member, except with respect to liability in respect to any employee benefit plan, as defined by ERISA § 3(3), maintained by the Company. Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC are not required to maintain any specific net worth and there can be no guarantee Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC will be able to fund its indemnification obligations to the Company.

Other Matters

On April 25, 2014, a group of plaintiffs brought an action against Federal-Mogul Products, Inc. (“F-M Products”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, alleging injuries and damages associated with the discharge of chlorinated hydrocarbons by the former owner of a facility located in Kentucky. Since 1998, when F-M Products acquired the facility, it has been cooperating with the applicable regulatory agencies on remediating the prior discharges pursuant to an order entered into by the facility’s former owner. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible range of loss for reasons including that the plaintiffs did not claim any amount of damages in their complaint. F-M Products intends to vigorously defend this litigation.

The Company is involved in other legal actions and claims, directly and through its subsidiaries. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these other actions or claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

19. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In February 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted approximately 809,000, 1,043,000 and 437,000 stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), to certain employees. The SARs granted in February 2012 (“2012 SARs”) and in February 2011 (“2011 SARs”) vested 25.0% on grant date and 25.0% on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date. The SARs granted in February 2010 (“2010 SARs”) vest 33.3% on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date. All SARs have a term of five years from date of grant. The SARs are payable in cash or, at the election of the Company, in stock. As the Company anticipates paying out SARs exercises in the form of cash, the SARs are being treated as liability awards for accounting purposes.

The Company has total outstanding awards of approximately 603,000, 796,000 and 1,259,000 as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. All 2010 SARs have expired as of December 31, 2015.

The Company recognized SARs income of $1 million and $4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and SARs expense of $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	0.04			—			(0.42		)
Net (loss) income	$	(0.67	)	$	(1.12	)	$	0.33

The Company had losses for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic in those periods, as any potentially dilutive securities would reduce the loss per share.

Warrants to purchase 6,951,871 common shares, which expired December 27, 2014, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

As required by ASC Topic 710, Compensation, there are 500,000 common shares issued in connection with a deferred compensation agreement that are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2014.

21. OPERATIONS BY REPORTING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA

The Company operates with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain segment focuses on original equipment powertrain products for automotive, heavy duty, and industrial applications. The Motorparts segment sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, wipers, and a limited range of chassis components. This organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and enables the Company to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with its premium brands. Additionally, this organizational model enhances management focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic or acquisition growth, profit improvement, resource utilization, and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases. Reporting units are components of the Company’s reporting segments (which are also its operating segments) and generally align with specific product groups for Powertrain and regions for Motorparts for which segment managers regularly review operating results.

Management utilizes Operational EBITDA as the key performance measure of segment profitability and uses the measure in its financial and operational decision making processes; for internal reporting; and for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources. Operational EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), as adjusted for additional amounts. Examples of these adjustments include impairment charges related to goodwill, other long-lived assets and investments; restructuring charges; certain gains or losses on the settlement/extinguishment of obligations; and receivable financing charges. During 2015, the Company modified its definition of Operational EBITDA to adjust for financing charges related to certain receivable financing programs. Comparable periods have been adjusted to conform to this definition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

measure also allows management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among operating segments.

Operational EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Operational EBITDA that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operational EBITDA, as determined and measured by the Company, should not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

23. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Insight Portfolio Group, LLC (“Insight”) is an entity formed and controlled by Icahn Enterprises, L.P. ("IEP") in order to maximize the potential buying power of a group of entities with which IEP has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services, and tangible and intangible property at negotiated rates. The Company acquired a minority equity interest in Insight and agreed to pay a portion of Insight’s operating expenses beginning in 2013. In addition to the minority equity interest held by the Company, certain subsidiaries of IEP and other entities with which IEP has a relationship also acquired equity interests in Insight and also agreed to pay certain operating expenses.

The Company’s payments to Insight were less than $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

On June 1, 2015, IEP, the Company's parent, completed an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Uni-Select USA, Inc. and Beck/Arnley Worldparts, Inc. comprising the U.S. automotive parts distribution of Uni-Select Inc ("Uni-Select"). Uni-Select will be operated independently from the Company and all transactions will be approved by the independent directors of the Company. In connection with IEP's acquisition of Uni-Select, Mr. Icahn has resigned from the Company's board of directors and Daniel A. Ninivaggi, Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company has resigned from the board of directors of IEP.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2015, have concluded that, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive and financial officers of the Company, an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting was conducted based upon the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (the “COSO 2013 Framework”) of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the evaluation performed under the COSO 2013 Framework as of December 31, 2015, management has concluded, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified a material weakness in the operating effectiveness of information technology (IT) general controls. More specifically, the Company was not consistently following its processes and procedures during 2015 to execute and monitor change management controls or to restrict or monitor access to certain of its IT systems. These processes and procedures are intended to ensure that access to financial applications and data is adequately restricted to appropriate personnel and that all changes affecting the financial applications and underlying account records are identified, authorized, tested and implemented appropriately. Additionally, as a result of the deficiencies identified, there is a possibility that the effectiveness of business process controls that are dependent on the affected IT systems or data and financial reports generated from the affected IT systems may be adversely affected.

The Company is evaluating the material weakness and developing a plan of remediation to strengthen our information technology general controls. The remediation plan will include the following actions:


•	Assess the organization structure as well as roles and responsibilities within the IT department to enhance controls and compliance,


•	Improve the design and operation of control activities and procedures associated with user and administrator access to the affected IT systems; including both preventive and detective control activities,


•	Implement appropriate program change management control activities to the affected IT systems; including both preventative and detective control activities, and


•	Test and evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of the control procedures and conclude on the effectiveness of the remediation plan.

The Company has concluded that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements to our internal control over financial reporting. The Company has started to implement these steps, however, some of these steps will take time to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Additional controls may also be required over time. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented and tested, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, as stated in their report which is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, except as discussed above, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTORS INDEPENDENCE

Tax Allocation Agreement

On July 11, 2013, Federal-Mogul Corporation became part of the Icahn Enterprises affiliated group of corporations as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the Code"), as amended, of which American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”) is the common parent. The Company subsequently entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (the “Tax Allocation Agreement”) with AEP. Pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, AEP and the Company have agreed to the allocation of certain income tax items. The Company will join AEP in the filing of AEP’s federal consolidated return and certain state consolidated returns. In those jurisdictions where the Company is filing consolidated returns with AEP, the Company will pay to AEP any tax it would have owed had it continued to file separately. To the extent that the AEP consolidated group is able to reduce its tax liability as a result of including the Company in its consolidated group, AEP will pay the Company an amount equal to 20% of such reduction and the Company will carryforward for its own use under the Tax Allocation Agreement 80% of the items that caused the tax reduction (the “Excess Tax Benefits”). While a member of the AEP affiliated group the Company will reduce the amounts it would otherwise owe AEP by the Excess Tax Benefits. Moreover, if the Company should ever become deconsolidated from AEP, AEP will reimburse the Company for any tax liability in post-consolidation years the Company would not have paid had it actually had the Excess Tax Benefits for its own use. The cumulative payments to the Company by AEP post-consolidation cannot exceed the cumulative reductions in tax to the AEP group resulting from its use of the Excess Tax Benefits. Separate return methodology will be used in determining income taxes.

Insight Portfolio Group LLC (formally known as Icahn Sourcing, LLC)

Insight Portfolio Group, LLC (“Insight”) is an entity formed by Icahn Enterprises L.P.

The Company was a member of the buying group in 2012. Prior to December 31, 2012, the Company did not pay Icahn Sourcing any fees or other amounts with respect to the buying group arrangement.

102

The Company acquired a minority equity interest in Insight in 2013 and agreed to pay a portion of Insight's operating expenses in 2013. In addition to the minority equity interest held by the Company, certain subsidiaries of IEP and other entities with which IEP has a relationship also acquired minority equity interests in Insight and agreed to pay a portion of Insight’s operating expenses.

The Company’s payments to Insight were less than $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013. The Company anticipates its 2016 payments to Insight Portfolio Group to be similar to the amounts paid in 2015.
