First Quarter in Review

Visteon Corporation

First-quarter sales were $810 million, compared with $802 million for the same period in 2016. The $8 million increase is primarily related to higher electronics production volumes and new product launches, partially offset by unfavorable currency and the exit of other operations.

Gross margin was $131 million, compared with $121 million a year earlier. The $10 million increase in gross margin reflected higher sales and the exit of other climate operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $51 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared with $56 million for the first quarter of 2016.

For the first quarter of 2017, the company reported net income attributable to Visteon of $63 million or $1.91 per diluted share, compared with $19 million or $0.49 per diluted share for the same period in 2016. First-quarter 2017 net income included income of $8 million from discontinued operations, net of tax; and $2 million of restructuring, transformation and related costs.

Electronics Product Group

Sales totaled $810 million and $793 million during the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, for an increase of $17 million, resulting from higher volume and product mix, particularly in Europe and China. Unfavorable currency movements and contractual customer pricing reductions partially offset the increase. On a regional basis, Asia accounted for 37 percent of sales, Europe 33 percent, North America 28 percent, and South America 2 percent.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2017 was $131 million, compared with $126 million a year earlier. The $5 million increase in gross margin reflected the impact of higher sales volume, material cost efficiencies and a decline in engineering expenses, partially offset by customer pricing.    

Adjusted EBITDA for the Electronics Product Group was $101 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared with $94 million for the same quarter last year. The improvement was primarily driven by increased vehicle production volumes and new business, and favorable currency. Manufacturing, engineering, and sales, general and administrative cost efficiencies were offset by customer pricing and higher warranty costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $51 million for the first quarter, compared with $56 million for the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margins were 12.5 percent for the first quarter of 2017, a 60-basis point improvement from prior-year levels.

For the first quarter of 2017, net income was $55 million or $1.67 per diluted share, compared with net income of $38 million or $0.99 per diluted share for the same period in 2016. First-quarter 2017 net income included $2 million of restructuring, transformation and related costs. Adjusted net income, which excludes these items, was $57 million or $1.73 per diluted share in 2017, compared with $52 million or $1.35 per diluted share in 2016.

Other Operations

By the end of 2016, Visteon exited its other operations, consisting of climate operations in South America and South Africa. The first quarter of 2016 included sales of $9 million, negative adjusted EBITDA of $5 million and a net loss of $5 million.

Cash and Debt Balances

As of March 31, 2017, Visteon had global cash and equivalents totaling $692 million. During the first quarter of 2017, Visteon paid $125 million to purchase shares of its common stock and $47 million to repurchase the India electronics business in connection with the 2015 climate transaction. Total debt as of March 31 was $396 million.

For the first quarter of 2017, cash from operations was a use of $10 million, capital expenditures were $32 million and adjusted free cash flow was a use of $30 million. The first quarter typically reflects an outflow of cash due to timing of working capital movements.    

In March 2017, Visteon amended its revolving and term loan credit facilities. The amendment extended the maturity dates of each facility by three years, reduced the applicable interest rate margin on each facility by 50 basis points and upsized the revolving facility by $100 million to $300 million.

Share Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2017, Visteon entered into an Accelerated Stock Repurchase (ASR) with a third party to purchase shares of its common stock for a payment of $125 million and received 1,062,022 shares, representing 80 percent of the expected shares. This ASR is expected to be completed by May 8, 2017. The company has $275 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization.

Full-Year 2017 Outlook

Visteon affirmed its full-year 2017 guidance for its key financial metrics. The company projects 2017 sales of $3.1 billion to $3.2 billion. Adjusted EBITDA is projected in the range of $355 million to $370 million.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited, Dollars in Millions)

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company’s operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuring expense, net interest expense, loss on debt extinguishment, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, other net expense, provision for income taxes, discontinued operations, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and other non-operating gains and losses. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the

Company’s business strategies, and (iii) because the Company’s credit agreements use similar measures for compliance with certain covenants.

9

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

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

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share are presented as supplemental measures that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company’s profitability, providing comparability between periods by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring business operating results. The Company believes management and investors benefit from referring to these supplemental measures in assessing company performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company defines Adjusted net income as net income attributable to Visteon adjusted to eliminate the impact of restructuring expense, loss on debt extinguishment, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, other net expenses, other non-operating gains and losses, discontinued operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Adjusted earnings per share as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

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