WABCO HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2017
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

WABCO Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively WABCO or the Company) engineers, develops, manufactures and sells integrated systems controlling advanced braking, stability, suspension and transmission automation as well as air compression and processing primarily for commercial vehicles. WABCO’s largest selling products are pneumatic anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic braking systems (EBS), electronic stability control (ESC), automated manual transmission systems, air disc brakes and a large variety of conventional mechanical products such as actuators, air compressors and air control valves for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, buses and trailers. In addition, we supply commercial vehicle aftermarket distributors and service partners as well as fleet operators with replacement parts, fleet management solutions, diagnostic tools, training and other expert services. WABCO sells its products primarily to four groups of customers around the world: truck and bus original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), trailer OEMs, commercial vehicle aftermarket distributors of replacement parts and services, and automotive OEMs. We also provide remanufacturing services globally.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial data have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Based on the organizational structure, as well as the nature of financial information available and reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocations, the Company has concluded that its total WABCO operations represent one reportable segment and that WABCO’s performance and future net cash flow perspectives are best understood and assessed as such. All majority-owned subsidiaries of WABCO are included in the consolidated financial statements and intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. WABCO’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are included at cost plus its equity in undistributed earnings less dividends and changes in foreign currency in accordance with the equity method of accounting and reflected as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in the consolidated balance sheet. Certain amounts in the prior year's condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as a result of the Company's adoption during the current year of a new accounting standard.

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes 2 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, describe the most significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ materially from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the first three months of 2017.


NOTE 2.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-07 (ASU 2017-07) Compensation-Retirement Benefits, in order to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the statements of operations. Under ASU 2017-07, the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost is disclosed in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and the other components are reported separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income.

7


ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-07 as of January 1, 2017, and applied the change retrospectively in its condensed consolidated statements of operations, by reclassifying $1.2 million from cost of sales and $4.4 million from selling and administrative expenses to other non-operating expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation, in order to simplify certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liability, classification of excess tax benefits, and taxes withheld and paid on employee stock award vestings on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 requires that companies elect to account for forfeitures based on an estimate of the number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered or to account for forfeitures as they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2016. The impact from adoption of the provisions related to forfeiture rates was reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements on a modified retrospective basis, resulting in an adjustment of $0.4 million to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016. Provisions related to income taxes were adopted prospectively resulting in a tax benefit of $1.3 million for 2016. Provisions related to the statement of cash flows were also adopted retrospectively.

Pending Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 Intra-entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory, which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect any material impact from adoption of this guidance on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows in order to reduce diversity in existing practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect any material impact from adoption of this guidance on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard on the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts entered into with customers. ASU 2014-09 requires revenue to be recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services at an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 requires certain additional disclosure around the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

ASU 2014-09 was initially effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB subsequently deferred the effective date of this standard to December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of December 15, 2016. The Company currently anticipates adopting ASU 2014-09 in the annual period beginning January 1, 2018.

ASU 2014-09 permits two methods of adoption, either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). We currently anticipate adopting ASU 2014-09 using the full retrospective method along with a number of practical expedients available under the standard. Successful adoption of ASU 2014-09 is contingent on the completion of an analysis of the cumulative impact on prior periods’ financial information as well as the completion of upgrades to the accounting information system, including upgrades to software procured from third-party providers.

While we are still evaluating all potential impacts of ASU 2014-09, we currently believe the most significant impact relates to our accounting for revenue in relation to our product engineering activities and our sales to OEM customers. Specifically, under ASU 2014-09 we expect to recognize certain reimbursements received from customers related to product engineering as revenue. We are also assessing whether revenue from sales to OEM customers of products with no alternative use should be recognized over time instead of at a point in time. Due to the complexity of certain of our agreements with OEM customers, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under ASU 2014-09 will be dependent on contract-specific terms, and may vary in some instances.


8


We do not expect the pending adoption of other recently issued accounting standards to have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(3) This accumulated other comprehensive loss component, net of taxes of $1.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, is included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. See Note 12 for additional details.


NOTE 4.
Guaranteed Notes Receivable

The Company holds guaranteed notes receivable from reputable state owned and public enterprises in China that are settled through bankers acceptance drafts, which are registered and endorsed to the Company. These notes receivable are fully guaranteed by banks and generally have contractual maturities of six months or less, but the ultimate recourse remains against the trade debtor. These guaranteed drafts are available for discounting with banking institutions in China or transferring to suppliers to settle liabilities. The total amount of notes receivable discounted or transferred for the first three months of 2017 and 2016 were $53.2 million and $18.2 million, respectively. Expenses related to discounting these notes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 amounted to $0.4 million and are included in other non-operating expense, net. There were no expenses related to discounting for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The fair value of these guaranteed notes receivable is determined based on Level 2 inputs including credit ratings and other criteria observable in the market and equal their carrying amounts of $57.1 million and $53.6 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company monitors the credit quality of both the drawers of the drafts and guarantors on a monthly basis by reviewing various factors such as payment history, level of state involvement in the institution, size, national importance as well as current economic conditions in China. Since the Company has not experienced any historical losses nor is expecting future credit losses based on a review of the various credit quality indicators described above, we have not established a loss provision against these receivables as of March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

    
NOTE 5.
Net Income Attributable to Company per Share

Basic net income attributable to Company per share has been computed using the weighted average number of WABCO common shares outstanding. The average number of outstanding shares of common stock used in computing diluted net income attributable to Company per share includes weighted average incremental shares when the impact is not anti-dilutive. The weighted average incremental shares represent the net amount of shares the Company would issue upon the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred stock units (DSUs) after assuming that the Company would use the proceeds from the exercise of options to repurchase stock. The weighted average incremental shares also includes the net amount of shares issuable for performance stock units (PSUs) at the end of the reporting period, if any, based on the number of shares issuable if the end of the period were the end of the vesting period.

Anti-dilutive shares, if applicable, are excluded and represent those options, RSUs, DSUs and PSUs whose assumed proceeds were greater than the average price of the Company’s common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, no weighted average incremental shares have been included as the impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company accounts for purchases of treasury stock under the cost method with the costs of such share purchases reflected in treasury stock in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. When treasury shares are reissued, they are recorded at the average cost of the treasury shares acquired since the inception of the share repurchase programs, net of shares previously reissued and the Company reflects the difference between the average cost paid and the amount received for the reissued shares in capital surplus. As of March 31, 2017 the Company has reissued a total of 70,686 treasury shares related to certain employee vestings under its equity incentive program.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company has repurchased a total of $1,530.7 million of shares under the five repurchase programs effective through this date, leaving an unexpended balance of $540.3 million available for share repurchases. The Company plans to continue to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices. The timing and amount of share repurchases, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including, among other things, share price, market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements.


NOTE 7.
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date and recognizes that as an expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period. The estimated fair value of the award is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

As part of its equity incentive program, the Company grants PSUs, the vesting of which would occur, if at all, and at levels depending upon, the achievement of three-year cumulative goals tied to earnings per share. The Company assesses the expected achievement levels at the end of each reporting period. The grant date fair value of the number of awards expected to vest based on the Company’s best estimate of ultimate performance against the respective targets is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the awards. As of March 31, 2017, the Company believes it is probable that the performance conditions will be met and has recognized compensation expense accordingly.

The Company also grants DSUs to its non-management directors as part of the equity portion of their annual retainer. The DSUs are fully vested at grant. Each DSU provides the right to the issuance of a share of our common stock, within ten days after the earlier of the director’s death or disability, the 13-month anniversary of the grant date or the director’s separation from service.

11


Each director may also elect within a month after the grant date to defer the receipt of shares for five or more years. No election can be made to accelerate the issuance of stock from a DSU.

Total stock-based compensation cost recognized during the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was as follows:

The Company paid approximately $1.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Senior EUR Notes, which has been presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction of the related debt liability. Interest on the Senior EUR Notes will be payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing July 1, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding debt balance net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $468.2 million.

The proceeds from the Senior Notes were partially utilized to repay the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facilities. The remaining proceeds are intended to fund our share repurchase program, finance acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness and meet general financing requirements.

12



Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, prepay all or part of the Senior EUR Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment and certain penalties as defined in the note purchase agreement (the EUR Note Purchase Agreement). The Company may also be required, subject to certain events and conditions, to make an offer to prepay all of the Senior EUR Notes including any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment. Each holder has the option to accept or reject such offer to prepay.

The EUR Note Purchase Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, and financial covenants consisting of a consolidated net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain items) ratio of not more than three times at the end of fiscal quarter based upon the preceding twelve consecutive months, as well as a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense ratio of not less than three times at the end of fiscal quarter based upon the preceding twelve consecutive months. The EUR Note Purchase Agreement also provides for customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in an acceleration of the Company's obligations under the EUR Note Purchase Agreement. We were in compliance with all of the covenants as of March 31, 2017.

The Company also agreed to indemnify the note purchasers holding Senior EUR Notes that are subject to a swap agreement for certain losses associated with swap breakage resulting from the Company's failure to issue the Senior EUR Notes on the closing date, from a prepayment of the Senior EUR Notes or from an acceleration of the Senior EUR Notes as a result of an event of default.

As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding debt balance net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $498.3 million.

The proceeds from the Senior Notes were partially utilized to repay the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facilities. The remaining proceeds are intended to fund our share repurchase program, finance acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness and meet general financing requirements.

Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, prepay all or part of the Senior Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment and certain penalties as defined in the note purchase agreement (Note Purchase Agreement).

The Note Purchase Agreement also provides for customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in an acceleration of the Company's obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement. We were in compliance with all of the covenants as of March 31, 2017.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million multi-currency five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility which was amended and restated on September 30, 2015 (the 2015 Facility, previously referred to as the 2011 Facility) to, among other things, extend the original expiry date (subject to two 1-year extension options) and amend the applicable margins on the original revolving credit facility. The term of the 2015 Facility was subsequently extended by an additional one year to expire on September 30, 2021. As of March 31, 2017, this is our principal bank credit facility.

On December 17, 2014, the Company entered into a new $100 million multi-currency five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the 2014 Facility) which will expire on December 17, 2019.

Under the revolving credit facilities, the Company may borrow, on a revolving basis, loans in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not in excess of $500 million. Up to $30 million under the 2015 Facility may be used for issuing letters of credit, of which $30 million was unused as of March 31, 2017, and up to $50 million is available in the form of swing line loans, all $50 million of which was available for use as of March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no balances outstanding on these facilities and an incremental ability to borrow $500 million.

Interest on loans under the revolving credit facilities will be calculated at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin, which can vary from 0.45% to 1.00% for both the 2014 Facility and the 2015 Facility based on the Company's leverage ratio, plus LIBOR for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, EURIBOR for loans denominated in Euros, HIBOR for loans denominated in Hong Kong Dollars and SIBOR for loans denominated in Singapore Dollars, plus mandatory costs, if any.

The revolving credit facilities contain terms and provisions (including representations, covenants and conditions) customary for credit agreements of this type. Our primary financial covenant is a leverage test which requires net indebtedness not to exceed three times adjusted four quarter trailing EBITDA. Additional financial covenants include an interest coverage test and a maximum subsidiary indebtedness test. The interest coverage test requires three times interest expense not to exceed adjusted four quarter trailing EBITDA. The maximum subsidiary indebtedness test limits the total aggregate amount of indebtedness of WABCO's subsidiaries, excluding indebtedness under the facilities, to $500 million under both the 2014 Facility and the 2015 Facility, of which not more than $150 million may be secured. All cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on the balance sheet can be deducted for net indebtedness purposes. In addition, expenses and payments related to any streamlining of WABCO’s operations are excluded when calculating the four quarter trailing adjusted EBITDA. Other covenants include delivery of financial reports and other information, compliance with laws including environmental laws and permits, ERISA and U.S. regulations, limitations on liens, mergers and sales of assets and change of business. We were in compliance with all of the covenants as of March 31, 2017.

Other Debt

As of March 31, 2017, the Company's various subsidiaries had borrowings from banks totaling $1.0 million, of which $0.6 million was classified as long-term debt. The remaining $0.4 million supports local working capital requirements. This is in comparison to $0.8 million as of December 31, 2016 of which $0.6 million was classified as long-term debt.


NOTE 9.
Warranties, Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies
Warranties
Products sold by WABCO are covered by a basic limited warranty with terms and conditions that vary depending upon the product and country in which it was sold. The limited warranty covers the equipment, parts and labor (in certain cases) necessary to satisfy the warranty obligation generally for a period of two years. Estimated product warranty expenses are accrued in cost of goods sold at the time the related sale is recognized. Estimates of warranty expenses are based primarily on warranty claims experience and specific customer contracts. Warranty expenses include accruals for basic warranties for product sold, as well as accruals for product recalls, service campaigns and other related events when they are known and estimable. To the extent WABCO experiences changes in warranty claim activity or costs associated with servicing those claims, its warranty accrual is adjusted accordingly. Warranty accrual estimates and the allocation of warranty between short and long term are updated based upon the
most current warranty claims information available.

In 2016, the Company initiated a recall and service campaign related to certain defects in components from one of our suppliers. The defective parts impacted certain shipments to our customers over a two month period. The Company currently estimates the costs of the warranty campaign to be $26.9 million, substantially all of which the Company expects to be recovered from the supplier and has been reflected within other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company anticipates the majority of this campaign to conclude in the second quarter of 2017.

Guarantees and Commitments

The Company has uncollateralized bank guarantees for $39.1 million, of which $31.6 million is related to statutorily-required guarantees for tax and other litigation, $0.2 million is related to letters of credit, and $7.3 million is related to other individually immaterial items.

Right of Recourse

As discussed in Note 4, the Company may receive bankers acceptance drafts from customers in China in payment of outstanding accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. These banker's acceptance drafts are non-interest bearing obligations of the issuing bank and generally have contractual maturities of six months or less. The Company may use these bankers acceptance drafts prior to the scheduled maturity date to settle outstanding accounts payable with vendors. Bankers acceptance drafts transferred to vendors are subject to customary right of recourse provisions prior to their scheduled maturity date. As of March 31, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $28.1 million and $24.3 million, respectively, of bankers acceptance drafts subject to customary right of recourse provisions, which were transferred to vendors and had not reached their scheduled maturity date. Historically, the bankers acceptance drafts have settled upon maturity without any claim of recourse against the Company.

Contingencies

We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to products and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable and reasonably possible losses. A determination of the amount of liability to be recorded, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue.

Under an indemnification agreement, WABCO Brazil is responsible for certain claims related to its business for periods prior to the spin-off of WABCO from Trane. In particular, there are tax claims pending in various stages of the Brazilian legal process related to income, social contribution and/or value added taxes for which a contingency exists and which may or may not ultimately be incurred by the Company. The estimated total amount of the contingency as of March 31, 2017 was $53.6 million including interest. However, based on management’s assessment and advice of our external legal counsel, the Company believes that it has valid arguments in all of these cases and thus no accrual is required at this time.

NOTE 10.
Income Taxes

The income tax expense was $15.3 million on pretax income of $99.6 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and $101.1 million on pretax income of $91.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Income tax expense is the net result of taxes on the mix of earnings in multiple tax jurisdictions, foreign tax credits and rulings, the assessment and accrual of uncertain tax positions resulting from tax authority audits or changes in the interpretation of the law.

During the first quarter of 2016, the income tax provision included a non-cash tax expense of $86.4 million related to the Belgian Excess Profit Ruling (EPR) program.

Unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2017 amounted to $70.9 million, of which $2.3 million was classified as a long-term liability. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits of $68.6 million, including the $66.4 million related to the clawback under the EPR program, were classified as a reduction to deferred tax assets, since they are non-cash unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With no material exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.


NOTE 11.
Streamlining Expenses

The Company accounts for employee-related streamlining charges as either a one-time benefit arrangement or an ongoing benefit arrangement as appropriate. From time to time the Company also has streamlining charges that are not related to employees, such as facility exit costs.

In the third quarter of 2015, the Company announced proposals to cease manufacturing at two production facilities to preserve the Company's global competitiveness for certain mechanical products. These proposals would result in a workforce reduction of approximately 320 positions and includes a smaller program initiated in the fourth quarter of 2014 (the 2014/2015 Program). Production at both facilities is expected to be transferred to other facilities within the Company's globally integrated supply chain by the end of 2017.

Based on the Company’s efforts to maintain our global footprint, the Company has periodically entered into other streamlining programs as deemed necessary which may include workforce reductions, site closures and rotation of manufacturing footprint to low cost regions (Other Programs).

The following is a summary of changes in the Company’s streamlining program liabilities for the three month period ended March 31, 2017.

Pension and post-retirement benefit plan cost is included in cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses and non-operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.


NOTE 13.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires a company to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies and has been designated as a relationship hedge. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a 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.
    

17


The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value using Level 2 inputs and these are classified as “other current assets,” “other assets,” “other accrued liabilities” or “other liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Level 2 inputs used by the Company in valuing its derivative instruments include model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
    
The earnings impact resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments is recorded in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the underlying exposure being hedged or in accumulated other comprehensive income for derivatives that qualify and have been designated as cash flow hedges or hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument's change in fair value is recognized in earnings together with changes in the fair value of any derivatives not designated as relationship hedges.

Net Investment Hedges

During 2016, the Company entered into various forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of €440.0 million that were designated as partial hedges of the foreign currency exposure of its investments in certain Euro-denominated wholly-owned subsidiaries. All of these contracts had matured as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, a gain of $9.3 million, net of taxes of $5.8 million, related to these contracts has been recognized in cumulative translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).

On November 15, 2016, the Company issued EUR Senior Notes of an aggregate amount of €440.0 million as previously discussed in Note 8, that were also designated as partial hedges of the foreign currency exposure of its investments in certain Euro-denominated wholly-owned subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2017, there was no hedge ineffectiveness and a gain of $1.3 million, net of taxes of $0.8 million, related to these notes has been recognized in cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

Foreign exchange contracts are also used by the Company to offset the earnings impact relating to the variability in exchange rates on certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and have not been designated as relationship hedges.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Overview
    
In the first quarter of 2017, we once again outperformed the market in most regions with a sales growth compared to one year ago of 8.5% on a reported basis and 11.0% excluding foreign currency translation effects. This outperformance was realized primarily in China and, to a lesser extent, other regions including India and South America. Our global aftermarket sales increased 0.7% (2.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects) in the first quarter of 2017 from continuous growth in key regions partially offset by a drop in India after the demonetization as well as in the Middle East and Turkey due to political uncertainty.

During the first quarter of 2017, the WABCO Operating System (WOS) continued to enable fast and flexible responses to major market changes, delivering $21.4 million of materials and conversion productivity, a continued solid performance for us. Gross materials productivity represented 5.1% of total materials cost, while inflation in raw material prices resulted in net materials productivity of 4.8%. Conversion productivity represented 8.1% for the first quarter of 2017.
    
As previously disclosed, we and the Belgian Government have (separately) appealed the 2016 decision of the European Commission which invalidated the Belgian excess profit ruling (EPR) program that we and many other companies had participated in since 2004 and required a clawback of all past tax benefits received under the program. We have sought and obtained an alternative tax relief for 2015 and future years under Belgium’s Patent Income Deduction (PID), and which we continue to seek for the 2013 and 2014 tax years as well. If relief is granted for 2013 and 2014 the potential tax benefit impact in a subsequent quarter could be in aggregate up to $32 million.

Results of Operations
Approximately 86% of our sales are outside the United States, and therefore changes in exchange rates can have a significant impact on the reported results of our operations, which are presented in U.S. dollars. Quarter-over-quarter changes in sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses for 2017 compared with 2016 are presented both with and without the effects of foreign currency translation. Changes in sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses excluding foreign exchange effects are calculated using current year sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses translated at prior year exchange rates. Presenting changes in sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses excluding the effects of foreign currency translation is not in conformity with U.S. GAAP, but management analyzes the data in this manner because it is useful to us in understanding the operating performance of our business. We believe this data is also useful to shareholders for the same reason. The changes in sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses excluding the effects of foreign exchange translation are not meant to be a substitute for measurements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, nor to be considered in isolation.

Sales

Our sales for the first quarter of 2017 were $747.3 million, an increase of 8.5% (11.0% excluding foreign currency translation effects) from $688.7 million in 2016.

Total sales in Europe, our largest market, increased 4.8% (8.6% excluding foreign currency translation effects) for the first quarter of 2017. While the truck and bus market grew 10%, sales growth was adversely affected by two factors. We experienced a negative sales growth mix due to a higher-than-proportionate growth in Eastern Europe of 47% where we have a lower content per vehicle compared to Western Europe. We also saw the phase out of a program at a major gearbox supplier.

Sales in North America increased 2.8% (5.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects) driven by favorable year-over-year sales comparisons due to inventory reduction by our North American joint venture in the first quarter of 2016. This offset a 16% decrease in production of new trucks and buses. Sales in South America increased 24.6% (1.4% excluding foreign currency translation effects), driven primarily by growth in truck and bus production.

Total sales in Asia increased 26.2% (27.4% excluding foreign currency translation effects) compared to an estimated 26% increase in new vehicle production in the region. Sales in China grew 64.7% (73.5% excluding foreign currency translation effects) which was primarily supported by a 48% growth in truck and bus production as well as increased WABCO content per vehicle and higher penetration rate of ABS on light duty vehicles and favorable customer mix. Sales in India decreased 0.1% (0.9% excluding foreign currency translation effects) driven by a product launch of automatic slack adjusters offset by a decline in vehicle production. Japan increased 2.7% (1.3% excluding foreign currency translation effects) and sales in Korea increased 25.0% (23.0% excluding foreign currency translation effects), driven by growth in truck and bus production of 16.2%.

WABCO's aftermarket sales, included in the geographic numbers provided above, increased by 0.7% (2.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects) in the first quarter of 2017 from continuous growth in key regions partially offset by a drop in India after the demonetization as well as in the Middle East and Turkey due to political uncertainty.


Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Within cost of sales, our largest expense is material costs, which mainly represents the purchase of components and parts. Our continued focus on productivity generated 8.1% of production and conversion cost savings, as well as 5.1% of material savings before the impact of commodity inflation, which had a negative impact of 0.3%, bringing net materials productivity to 4.8% for the first quarter of 2017.

Equity Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Equity in net income of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased by $1.5 million to $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2016, primarily driven by lower income from our North American joint venture due to the market decline in the production of heavy-duty vehicles of 18%.

Other Non-Operating Expense, Net

Other non-operating expenses increased by $5.2 million to $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, largely driven by higher pension and post-retirement benefit costs as a result of the lower interest rate environment applicable to our foreign pension and post-retirement benefit plans as well as a $3.0 million one-time charge to reflect a mortality update to one of our plans.



23


Income Taxes

The income tax expense for the first quarter of 2017 was $15.3 million on pre-tax income of $99.6 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest, compared with $101.1 million on pre-tax income of $91.3 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest in the first quarter of 2016. The income tax expense for the first quarter of 2016 included an income tax provision of $86.4 million with respect with the clawback of the tax benefits obtained under the EPR program for tax years 2012 to 2015. In the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the income tax provision was primarily the net result of taxes on the mix of earnings in multiple tax jurisdictions, foreign tax credits and rulings, and the assessment and accrual of uncertain tax positions resulting from tax authority audits or changes in the interpretation of the law.

24


Liquidity and Capital Resources
We employ several means to manage our liquidity, and we are not dependent upon any one source of funding. Our sources of financing include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, our senior unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities and the use of operating leases.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities was $54.3 million and $93.2 million for the first three months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company recorded net income including noncontrolling interests of $84.3 million for the first three months of 2017 compared with a net loss of $9.8 million for the first three months of 2016 that was mainly due to $86.4 million of tax expense related to an uncertain tax position. Net income attributable to the Company in 2017 included noncash elements such as depreciation and amortization of $24.6 million and pension and post-retirement benefit expense of $15.9 million. Our use of working capital amounted to $41.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This use of working capital results from increased business compounded by the sales growth being primarily in China which has higher working capital requirements.

Other accrued liabilities and taxes decreased $14.7 million for the first three months of 2017 compared to a decrease of $6.1 million for the first three months of 2016. The major driver of this decrease is due to payments made for our annual incentive compensation and tax-related items, partially offset by accruals for payroll. Other current and long-term assets for the first three months of 2017 increased $8.7 million compared to a decrease of $1.9 million for the first three months of 2016. This increase was mainly driven by an $11.7 million payment made into an escrow account in January 2017 with the Brazilian government due to legislative changes requiring a cash deposit in lieu of a bank guarantee for outstanding litigation related to WABCO Brazil's business for periods prior to the spin-off of WABCO from Trane, partially offset by lower taxes receivable. Other long-term liabilities for the first three months of 2017 decreased $4.7 million compared to a decrease of $2.2 million for the first three months of 2016, primarily driven by the continued shift from non-current to current liabilities on our streamlining accruals primarily related to our 2014/2015 Program as discussed in Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investing activities - Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $69.3 million and $53.7 million in the first three months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The net cash usage for 2017 includes capital expenditures of $6.9 million of investments in tooling, $20.2 million in plant and equipment and $1.1 million in software to support the Company's long-term growth strategies. This is compared to $6.1 million of investments in tooling, $20.4 million in plant and equipment and $3.4 million in software during the first three months of 2016.

During the first three months of 2017, we entered into $156.5 million of repurchase agreements and received $154.9 million from the maturities of repurchase agreements, all of which were classified within other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We also purchased $53.3 million of short-term investments. In comparison, during the first three months of 2016, we received $38.9 million from the maturity of a repurchase agreement and paid $62.7 million for business acquisitions including $60.8 million related to our acquisition of MICO as discussed in Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing activities - Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $61.9 million for the first three months of 2017 compared to net cash provided of $64.1 million for the first three months of 2016. Our total third-party debt increased $0.3 million for the first three months of 2017 compared to $132.1 million for the first three months of 2016 when we made additional borrowings on our revolving credit facilities mainly to finance our acquisitions of MICO and LCL and also to fund our share repurchase program.

During the first three months of 2017 and 2016, we repurchased shares for a total amount of $59.7 million and $62.5 million, respectively. The full amounts of repurchases were settled as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We received $3.5 million of stock option proceeds in 2017 compared with $1.2 million in 2016. We also withheld $4.2 million of shares during the first three months of 2017 related to employee tax payments made during the period for equity award vestings, as compared to $5.8 million during the first three months of 2016.

The remaining proceeds are intended to fund our share repurchase program, finance acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness and meet general financing requirements.
Credit Facilities
    
On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million multi-currency five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility which was amended and restated on September 30, 2015 (the 2015 Facility) to, among other things, extend the original expiry date subject to two 1-year extension options and amend the applicable margins on the original revolving credit facility. This facility will expire on September 30, 2021.

On December 17, 2014, the Company entered into a new $100 million multi-currency five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the 2014 Facility) which will expire on December 17, 2019.

Under the revolving credit facilities, the Company may borrow, on a revolving basis, loans in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not in excess of $500 million, which was fully unused as of March 31, 2017. The proceeds from the revolving credit facilities are available to finance acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness and meet general financing requirements.

As of March 31, 2017, various subsidiaries also had borrowings from banks totaling $1.0 million, of which $0.6 million was classified as long-term debt. The remaining $0.4 million supports local working capital requirements.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Foreign exchange contracts are used by the Company to offset the earnings impact relating to the variability in exchange rates on certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and have not been designated as relationship hedges. As of March 31, 2017, forward contracts for an aggregate notional amount of €164.3 million ($175.4 million at March 31, 2017 exchange rates) were outstanding with an average duration of one month. These foreign exchange contracts have offset the revaluation of assets and liabilities and resulted in net non-operating gains for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 of $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The majority of these exchange contracts were entered into on March 30, 2017. The fair value of these derivatives was $0.5 million as of March 31, 2017.

During 2016, the Company entered into various forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of €440.0 million that were designated as partial hedges of the foreign currency exposure of its investments in certain Euro-denominated wholly-owned subsidiaries. All of these contracts had matured as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, a gain of $9.3 million, net of taxes of $5.8 million, related to these contracts has been recognized in cumulative translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).

On November 15, 2016, the Company issued EUR Senior Notes of an aggregate amount of €440.0 million as previously discussed in Note 8, that were also designated as partial hedges of the foreign currency exposure of its investments in certain Euro-denominated wholly-owned subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2017, there was no hedge ineffectiveness and a gain of $1.3 million, net of taxes of $0.8 million, related to these notes has been recognized in cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI.
Aggregate Contractual Obligations

The Company has contractual obligations for debt, operating leases, tax indemnifications, purchase obligations, unfunded pension and post-retirement benefit plans and tax liabilities that were summarized in a table of aggregate contractual obligations for the year ended December 31, 2016 disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to those obligations since December 31, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Notes 2 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, describe the most significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ materially from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the first three months of 2017.


Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes to the disclosure on this matter for the year ended December 31, 2016 made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

The Company has established a Disclosure Controls Committee that assists the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), Rule 13a-15(e), are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
