PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INTRODUCTION TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements of Lear Corporation and
subsidiaries, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The financial information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. These results are
not necessarily indicative of a full years results of operations.

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
Lear Corporation (Lear, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company) and its
affiliates design and manufacture complete automotive seat systems and related components, as well
as electrical distribution systems and related components. The Companys main customers are
automotive original equipment manufacturers. The Company operates facilities worldwide.
On November 9, 2009, Lear and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries emerged from bankruptcy
proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Chapter 11). In accordance
with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) 852,
Reorganizations, Lear adopted fresh-start accounting upon its emergence from Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of November 7,
2009. For further information, see Note 1, Basis of Presentation, and Note 2, Reorganization
under Chapter 11, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lear, a
Delaware corporation, and the wholly owned and less than wholly owned subsidiaries controlled by
Lear. In addition, Lear consolidates variable interest entities in which it has a controlling
financial interest. Investments in affiliates in which Lear does not have control, but does have
the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted
for under the equity method.
The Companys annual financial results are reported on a calendar year basis and quarterly interim
results are reported using a thirteen week reporting calendar.
Certain amounts in the prior periods financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
presentation used in the quarter ended July 2, 2011.
Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Cost of sales includes material, labor and overhead costs associated with the manufacture and
distribution of the Companys products. Distribution costs include inbound freight costs,
purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs and other costs of the
Companys distribution network. Selling, general and administrative expenses include selling,
engineering and development and administrative costs not directly associated with the manufacture
and distribution of the Companys products.
(2) Restructuring Activities
In 2005, the Company initiated a multi-year operational restructuring strategy to (i) eliminate
excess capacity and lower the operating costs of the Company, (ii) streamline the Companys
organizational structure and reposition its business for improved long-term profitability and (iii)
better align the Companys manufacturing footprint with the changing needs of its customers. In
light of industry conditions and customer announcements, the Company expanded this strategy, and
through the end of 2010, the Company incurred pretax restructuring costs of $736.1 million. The
Company expects elevated restructuring actions and related investments to continue in 2011 and to
moderate thereafter.
Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, fixed asset impairment charges and
contract termination costs, as well as other incremental costs resulting from the restructuring
actions. These incremental costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs.
The Company also incurs incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating locations
impacted by the restructuring actions during the related restructuring implementation period.
Restructuring costs are recognized in the Companys consolidated financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Generally, charges
are recorded as restructuring actions are approved and/or implemented.
In the first half of 2011, the Company recorded charges of $4.6 million in connection with its
restructuring actions. These charges consist of $3.4 million recorded as cost of sales and $1.2
million recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. The 2011 charges consist of
employee termination benefits of $3.2 million, as well as other related restructuring costs of $1.4
million. Employee termination benefits were recorded based on existing union and employee
contracts, statutory requirements and completed negotiations. The Company expects to incur
approximately $41.7 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of
July 2, 2011. Although each restructuring action is unique, based upon the nature of the Companys
operations, the Company expects that the allocation of future restructuring costs will be
consistent with historical experience.

(4) Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Agreements
The Company incurs pre-production engineering and development (E&D) and tooling costs related to
the products produced for its customers under long-term supply agreements. The Company expenses all
pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer.
In addition, the Company expenses all pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools
for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company
does not have a non-cancelable right to use the tooling. During the first six months of 2011 and
2010, the Company capitalized $87.2 million and $63.2 million, respectively, of pre-production E&D
costs for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer. In addition, during the
first six months of 2011 and 2010, the Company capitalized $68.7 million and $67.6 million,
respectively, of pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which
reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company has a
non-cancelable right to use the tooling. These amounts are included in other current and long-term
assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended July
2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, the Company collected $162.5 million and $126.1 million, respectively, of
cash related to E&D and tooling costs.

(5) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost; however, as a result of fresh-start accounting,
property, plant and equipment was re-measured at fair value as of November 7, 2009. For further
information, see Note 3, Fresh-Start Accounting, to the consolidated financial statements
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Costs
associated with the repair and maintenance of the Companys property, plant and equipment are
expensed as incurred. Costs
associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency
or safety of the Companys property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the
remaining life of the related asset. Depreciable property is depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, using principally the straight-line method.

2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively.
The Company monitors its long-lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis in
accordance with GAAP. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment
analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by 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. The Company does not believe that there were any
indicators that would have resulted in long-lived asset impairment charges as of July 2, 2011. The
Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of any significant industry events and
long-term automotive production estimates on the realization of its long-lived assets.
(6) Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment
testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an
impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its impairment testing, the
Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to the related net book value. If
the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and
recognized. The Company conducts its annual impairment testing as of the first day of the fourth
quarter.
The Company does not believe that there were any indicators that would have resulted in goodwill
impairment charges as of July 2, 2011. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of
any significant industry events and long-term automotive production estimates on its recorded
goodwill.

(Continued)
Senior Notes
The Companys long-term debt consists of $350 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of
senior unsecured notes due 2018 with a stated coupon rate of 7.875% (the 2018 Notes) and $350
million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2020 with a stated
coupon rate of 8.125% (the 2020 Notes and together with the 2018 Notes, the Notes). The 2018
Notes were priced at 99.276% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 8.00%, and the 2020 Notes
were priced at 99.164% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 8.25%. The Notes were issued on
March 26, 2010, and the net proceeds, together with existing cash on hand, were used to repay in
full an aggregate amount of $925.0 million of term loans provided under the Companys first and
second lien credit agreements.
Interest is payable on the Notes on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15,
2010. The 2018 Notes mature on March 15, 2018, and the 2020 Notes mature on March 15, 2020.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations. Obligations under the Notes are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of
Lears domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear (see Note 17,
Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements).
The indenture governing the Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit
the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt, (ii) pay dividends
and make other restricted payments, (iii) create or permit certain liens, (iv) issue or sell
capital stock of the Companys restricted subsidiaries, (v) use the proceeds from sales of assets
and subsidiary stock, (vi) create or permit restrictions on the ability of the Companys restricted
subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company, (vii) enter into
transactions with affiliates, (viii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (ix)
consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of the Companys assets. The foregoing
limitations are subject to exceptions as set forth in the Notes. In addition, if in the future the
Notes have an investment grade credit rating from both Moodys Investors Service and Standard &
Poors Ratings Services and no default has occurred and is continuing, certain of these covenants
will, thereafter, no longer apply to the Notes for so long as the Notes have an investment grade
credit rating by both rating agencies. The indenture governing the Notes also contains customary
events of default. As of July 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the
indenture governing the Notes.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 17, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its senior secured
credit agreement (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or the first lien credit agreement)
to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of the Companys existing revolving credit facility
from March 18, 2013 to June 17, 2016, (ii) increase the amount available under its existing
revolving credit facility from $110 million to $500 million, (iii) adjust the interest rates
payable on outstanding borrowings, as described below, and (iv) modify the covenants under the
existing credit agreement to provide the Company with significant flexibility with respect to
certain actions. In connection with this amendment and restatement, the Company paid debt issuance
costs of $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. The revolving credit facility permits
borrowings for general corporate and working capital purposes and the issuance of letters of
credit. As of July 2, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit
facility.
Advances under the revolving credit facility generally bear interest at a variable rate per annum
equal to (i) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus
an adjustable margin of 1.375% to 3.0% based on the Companys corporate rating (2.25% as of July 2,
2011), payable on the last day of each applicable interest period but in no event less frequently
than quarterly, or (ii) the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement) plus an adjustable margin of 0.375% to 2.0% based on the Companys corporate rating
(1.25% as of July 2, 2011), payable quarterly. A facility fee is payable which ranges from 0.375%
to 0.50% of the total amount committed under the revolving credit facility.
Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured on a first priority basis
by a lien on substantially all of the U.S. assets of Lear and its domestic subsidiaries, as well as
100% of the stock of Lears domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of Lears foreign
subsidiaries. In addition, obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are
guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a first priority basis, by certain of Lears domestic
subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear (see Note 17, Supplemental
Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements).
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties
and covenants by the Company, including, without limitation, (i) covenants regarding maximum
leverage and minimum interest coverage, (ii) limitations on fundamental changes involving the
Company or its subsidiaries and (iii) limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments and
restricted

payments. As of July 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the
agreement governing the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
As discussed above, in 2010, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes,
together with existing cash on hand, to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the term loans
provided under the Companys first and second lien credit agreements. In connection with the
issuance of the Notes, the repayment of the term loans and the related amendments to the first lien
credit agreement, the Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $11.8 million in
the first quarter of 2010, resulting from the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, and
paid debt issuance costs of $17.6 million in the first half of 2010. The debt issuance costs are
being amortized over the life of the related debt. The loss on the extinguishment of debt is
recorded in other (income) expense, net. See Note 9, Other (Income) Expense, Net.

Contributions
Employer contributions to the Companys domestic and foreign pension plans for the six months ended
July 2, 2011, were $0.3 million, in aggregate. Based on minimum funding requirements, the Company
expects total required contributions of $10 to $15 million to its domestic and foreign pension
plans, in aggregate, in 2011. The Company may elect to make contributions in excess of minimum
funding requirements in response to investment performance or changes in interest rates or when the
Company believes that it is financially advantageous to do so and based on its other cash
requirements.
Employer contributions to the Companys defined contribution retirement program for its salaried
employees, determined as a percentage of each covered employees eligible compensation, for the six
months ended July 2, 2011, were $6.8 million. The Company expects total contributions of
approximately $13 million to this program in 2011.
Recent Legislation
In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care Education and
Affordability Reconciliation Act (the Acts) were signed into law. The Acts contain provisions
which impact the Companys accounting for retiree medical benefits. The impact of these provisions
was not significant and was included in the determination of the Companys other postretirement
benefit plan obligation as of December 31, 2010. The Company will continue to assess the
provisions of the Acts and may consider plan amendments to respond to the provisions of the Acts.
(9) Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net includes equity in net income of affiliates, non-income related taxes,
foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and
hedging activities, gains and losses on the sales of assets and other miscellaneous income and
expense. A summary of other (income) expense, net is shown below (in millions):

For the six months ended July 2, 2011, other income includes a gain of $3.9 million related to a
fair market value adjustment in conjunction with a transaction with an affiliate. For the three
and six months ended July 2, 2011, other income includes equity in net income of affiliates of $3.9
million and $8.0 million respectively.
For the six months ended July 3, 2010, other expense includes a loss on the extinguishment of debt
of $11.8 million, resulting from the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, and foreign
exchange losses of $7.5 million. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, other income
includes equity in net income of affiliates of $17.0 million and $17.8 million, respectively.
Other income also includes foreign exchange gains of $5.5 million and a gain of $1.8 million
related to a transaction with an affiliate for the three months ended July 3, 2010.
(10) Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2011, representing an
effective tax rate of 9.6% on pretax income of $205.4 million, as compared to $17.3 million for the
second quarter of 2010, representing an effective tax rate of 9.5% on pretax income of $182.6
million. The provision for income taxes was $59.7 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011,
representing an effective tax rate of 14.6% on pretax income of $408.1 million, as compared to
$23.7 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010, representing an effective tax rate of 9.0% on
a pretax income of $262.8 million.
In the first half of 2011, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the mix of
earnings among tax jurisdictions, as well as a tax benefit of $19.5 million related to the reversal
of a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets of a foreign
subsidiary. The provision was also impacted by a portion of the Companys restructuring charges
and other expenses, for which no tax
benefit was provided as the charges were incurred in certain countries for which no tax benefit is
likely to be realized due to a history of operating losses in those countries. In the first half
of 2010, the provision for income taxes was impacted by the mix of earnings among tax
jurisdictions, as well as a tax benefit of $32.8 million, including interest, related to reductions
in recorded tax reserves. The provision was also impacted by a portion of the Companys
restructuring charges and other expenses, for which no tax
12

(Continued)
benefit was provided as the charges were
incurred in certain countries for which no tax benefit is likely to be realized due to a history of
operating losses in those countries. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate in the first
half of 2011 and 2010 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% adjusted for
income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, foreign and U.S. valuation allowances,
tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.
Further, the Companys current and future provision for income taxes is significantly impacted by
the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries, particularly
the United States. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than
not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Companys future 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 allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income
taxes are impacted by the U.S. and foreign valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among
jurisdictions.
The Company was profitable in 2010 and 2009 in several international jurisdictions for which it has
provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. If the Company continues to
experience sustained levels of profitability in these jurisdictions, its assessment of the need for
a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions could
change. Any reduction to a valuation allowance will reduce the Companys tax expense in the
quarter in which such reduction occurs.
In connection with the Companys emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the Company
increased its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and retained its capital loss and tax credit
carryforwards (collectively, the Tax Attributes). However, Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
Sections 382 and 383 provide an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to
utilize its Tax Attributes, as well as certain built-in-losses, against future U.S. taxable income
in the event of a change in ownership. The Companys emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings is considered a change in ownership for purposes of IRC Section 382. The limitation
under the IRC is based on the value of the corporation as of the emergence date. As a result, the
Companys future U.S. taxable income may not be fully offset by the Tax Attributes if such income
exceeds its annual limitation, and the Company may incur a tax liability with respect to such
income. In addition, subsequent changes in ownership for purposes of the IRC could further limit
the Companys ability to use its Tax Attributes.
For further information , see Note 9, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
(11) Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear
Basic net income per share attributable to Lear was computed using the two-class method by dividing
net income attributable to Lear, after deducting undistributed earnings allocated to participating
securities, by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares
issuable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions pursuant to a contractual agreement, such as
those common shares contemplated as part of the Companys emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings, are considered common shares outstanding and are included in the computation of basic
net income per share attributable to Lear. The Companys preferred shares that were outstanding
during a portion of 2010 were considered participating securities. There were no preferred shares
outstanding during 2011 as all of the Companys remaining preferred shares outstanding were
converted into shares of common stock on November 10, 2010. For the three and six months ended
July 3, 2010, average participating securities outstanding were 4,028,708 and 5,525,554,
respectively (such securities were convertible into 8,057,416 and 11,051,108 shares, respectively,
of common stock after giving effect to the two-for-one stock split described in Note 12,
Comprehensive Income and Equity).
Diluted net income per share attributable to Lear was computed using the treasury stock method by
dividing net income attributable to Lear by the average number of common shares outstanding,
including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the average share price during the
period.

Lear Corporation Stockholders Equity
Common Stock Share Repurchase Program On February 16, 2011, the Companys Board of
Directors authorized a three year, $400 million common stock share repurchase program. Under this
program, the Company may repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock from time to time in
open market or privately negotiated transactions at prices, times and amounts to be determined by
the Company. The common stock repurchase authorization expires on February 16, 2014. In the first
half of 2011, the Company repurchased 1,988,274 shares of its outstanding common stock (share
amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split discussed below) at
an average purchase price of $50.31 per share, including commissions, for an aggregate purchase

(Continued)
price of $100.0 million, and may repurchase an additional $300.0 million in shares of its
outstanding common stock under this program. The extent to which the Company will repurchase its
outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will
depend upon its financial condition, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and
other factors. In addition, the Companys amended and restated credit facility and bond indentures
place certain limitations on the repurchase of common shares.
In addition to shares repurchased under the Companys common stock share repurchase program
described above, the Company classified shares withheld from the settlement of the Companys
restricted stock unit awards to cover minimum tax withholding requirements as common stock held in
treasury in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 2, 2011 and December
31, 2010.
Stock Split On February 16, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors declared a
two-for-one stock split of the Companys common stock. On March 17, 2011, as a result of the stock
split, stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 4, 2011, received one additional
share of common stock for every one share of the common stock held by the stockholders of record.
The additional shares of common stock were distributed on March 17, 2011. In addition, the Company
recorded a transfer from additional paid-in-capital to common stock of $0.5 million, representing
$0.01 par value of each share of common stock issued as a result of the stock split. Except as
otherwise expressly stated, all issued common stock shares and per share amounts presented in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the stock split for all periods presented.
Quarterly Dividend The Companys Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of
$0.125 per share of common stock in the first and second quarters of 2011. Declared dividends
totaled $26.8 million, in aggregate, of which $25.7 million was paid in 2011. Dividends payable on
common shares to be distributed under the Companys stock-based compensation program and common
shares contemplated as part of the Companys emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings will
be paid when such common shares are distributed.
Noncontrolling Interests
In the six months ended July 2, 2011, addition to noncontrolling interests reflects the acquisition
of a controlling interest in an affiliate previously accounted for under the equity method. In the
six months ended July 3, 2010, transaction with affiliates reflects the sale of noncontrolling
interests in two previously wholly owned subsidiaries.
(13) Legal and Other Contingencies
As of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had recorded reserves for pending legal
disputes, including commercial disputes and other matters, of $20.4 million and $23.4 million,
respectively. Such reserves reflect amounts recognized in accordance with GAAP and typically
exclude the cost of legal representation. Product liability and warranty reserves are recorded
separately from legal reserves, as described below.
Commercial Disputes
The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and claims, including, without
limitation, commercial or contractual disputes with its customers, suppliers and competitors.
These disputes vary in nature and are usually resolved by negotiations between the parties.
On September 12, 2008, a consultant to the Company filed an arbitration action against the Company
seeking royalties under the parties Joint Development Agreement (JDA) for the Companys sales of
its garage door opener products. Effective July 28, 2011, the parties executed a settlement agreement under which the parties fully resolved the dispute.
Product Liability and Warranty Matters
In the event that use of the Companys products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily
injury and/or property damage or other losses, the Company may be subject to product liability
lawsuits and other claims. Such lawsuits generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages and
attorney fees and costs. In addition, the Company is a party to warranty-sharing and other
agreements with certain of its customers related to its products. These customers may pursue
claims against the Company for contribution of all or a portion of the amounts sought in connection
with product liability and warranty claims. The Company can provide no assurance that it will not
experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such
claims. In addition, if any of the Companys products are, or are alleged to be, defective, the
Company may be required or requested by its customers to

participate in a recall or other
corrective action involving such products. Certain of the Companys customers have asserted claims
against the Company for costs related to recalls or other corrective actions involving its
products.
In certain instances, allegedly defective products may be supplied by tier 2 suppliers. The Company
may seek recovery from its suppliers of materials or services included within the Companys
products that are associated with product liability and warranty
claims. The Company carries insurance for certain legal matters, including product liability
claims, but such coverage may be limited. The Company does not maintain insurance for product
warranty or recall matters. Future dispositions with respect to the Companys product liability
claims that were subject to compromise under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings will be
satisfied out of a common stock and warrant reserve established for that purpose.
The Company records product warranty reserves based on its individual customer agreements. Product
warranty reserves are recorded for known warranty issues when liability for such issues is probable
and related amounts are reasonably estimable.
A summary of the changes in reserves for product liability and warranty claims for the six months
ended July 2, 2011, is shown below (in millions):

Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to local, state, federal and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances which
govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects and which impose
liability for clean-up costs resulting from past spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous
wastes and environmental compliance. The Companys policy is to comply with all applicable
environmental laws and to maintain an environmental management program based on ISO 14001 to ensure
compliance with this standard. However, the Company currently is, has been and in the future may
become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures.
The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party at several third-party landfill sites
and is engaged in the cleanup of hazardous waste at certain sites owned, leased or operated by the
Company, including several properties acquired in its 1999 acquisition of UT Automotive, Inc. (UT
Automotive). Certain present and former properties of UT Automotive are subject to environmental
liabilities which may be significant. The Company obtained agreements and indemnities with respect
to certain environmental liabilities from United Technologies Corporation (UTC) in connection
with its acquisition of UT Automotive. UTC manages and directly funds these environmental
liabilities pursuant to its agreements and indemnities with the Company.
As of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had recorded environmental reserves of $2.6
million and $2.7 million, respectively. While the Company does not believe that the environmental
liabilities associated with its current and former properties will have a material adverse impact
on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, no assurance can be
given in this regard.
Other Matters
Although the Company records reserves for legal disputes, product liability and warranty claims and
environmental and other matters in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are
inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from current estimates.
The Company is involved from time to time in various other legal proceedings and claims, including,
without limitation, commercial and contractual disputes, intellectual property matters, personal
injury claims, tax claims and employment matters. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot
be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that any of these other legal proceedings
or claims in which the Company is currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate, will
have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows. However, no assurance can be given in this regard.

(14) Segment Reporting
The Company has two reportable operating segments: seating, which includes seat systems and related
components, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks, seat trim covers, headrests and
seat foam, and electrical power management systems (EPMS), which includes wiring, connectors,
junction boxes and various other components of electrical distribution systems for traditional
powertrain vehicles, as well as for hybrid and electric vehicles. The other category includes
unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, geographic headquarters and the elimination of
intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements of being classified as an operating
segment.
The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on (i) revenues
from external customers, (ii) pretax income before interest and other (income) expense, net
(segment earnings) and (iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less capital
expenditures plus depreciation and amortization. A summary of revenues from external customers and
other financial information by reportable operating segment is shown below (in millions):

(15) Financial Instruments
The carrying values of the Companys debt instruments vary from their fair values. The fair values
were determined by reference to the quoted market prices of these securities. As of July 2, 2011,
the aggregate carrying value of the Companys Notes was $695.1 million, as compared to an estimated
aggregate fair value of $755.8 million. As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate carrying value of
the Companys Notes was $694.9 million, as compared to an estimated aggregate fair value of $755.6
million.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company has used derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps
and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates,
interest rates and commodity prices and the resulting variability of the Companys operating
results. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives. On the date that a derivative
contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of a
recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a
hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid
related to a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge) or (3) a hedge of a net investment
in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge).
Foreign exchange The Company uses forward foreign exchange, futures and option contracts
to reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on known foreign currency exposures.
Gains and losses on the derivative instruments are intended to offset gains and losses on the
hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. Currently, the principal currencies hedged by the Company include the
Mexican peso, various European currencies and the Chinese renminbi. Forward foreign exchange,
futures and option contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges when the hedged item is a
forecasted transaction or relates to the variability of cash flows to be received or paid. As of
July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, contracts designated as cash flow hedges with $241.5 million
and $174.7 million, respectively, of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than
six months and 12 months, respectively. As of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value
of these contracts was approximately $5.7 million and ($1.3) million, respectively. As of July 2,
2011 and December 31, 2010, other foreign currency derivative contracts that did not qualify for
hedge accounting with $103.7 million and $140.6 million, respectively, of notional amount were
outstanding. These foreign currency derivative contracts consist principally of hedges of cash
transactions of up to six months, hedges of intercompany loans and hedges of certain other balance
sheet exposures. As of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of these contracts was
$4.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
The fair value of outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts and the related classification
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
are shown below (in millions):

For the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, net sales includes losses of ($0.1) million and
($0.2) million, respectively, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
related to foreign currency derivative contracts. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2011,
cost of sales includes gains of $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, reclassified from
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to foreign currency derivative contracts.
For the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, net sales includes gains of $0.2 million and $0.3
million, respectively, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to
foreign currency derivative contracts. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, cost of
sales includes gains of $2.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, reclassified from accumulated
other comprehensive (income) loss related to foreign currency derivative contracts.
Interest rate Historically, the Company used interest rate swap and other derivative
contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rate swap and other
derivative contracts which fix the interest payments of certain variable rate debt instruments or
fix the market rate component of anticipated fixed rate debt instruments were accounted for as cash
flow hedges. Interest rate swap contracts which hedge the change in fair value of certain fixed
rate debt instruments were accounted for as fair value hedges. As of July 2, 2011 and December 31,
2010, there were no interest rate contracts outstanding. The Company will continue to evaluate,
and may use derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other
derivative contracts to manage its exposures to fluctuations in interest rates in the future.
Commodity prices The Company uses derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to
fluctuations in copper prices. These derivative instruments are utilized to hedge forecasted
inventory purchases and to the extent that they qualify and meet hedge accounting criteria, they
are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Commodity swap contracts that are not designated as cash
flow hedges are marked to market with changes in fair value recognized immediately in the condensed
consolidated statements of income. See Note 9, Other (Income) Expense, Net. As of July 2, 2011,
commodity swap contracts with $6.8 million of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of
less than ten months. As of July 2, 2011, the fair market value of these contracts was ($0.2)
million. As of December 31, 2010, there were no commodity swap contracts outstanding.

As of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, net gains (losses) of approximately $5.5 million and
($1.3) million, respectively, related to the Companys derivative instruments and hedging
activities were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the twelve month
period ending July 1, 2012, the Company expects to reclassify into earnings net gains of
approximately $5.5 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of July 2,
2011. Such gains will be reclassified at the time that the underlying hedged transactions are
realized. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, other (income) expense, net includes
gains of $1.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of
foreign currency derivative contracts that did not qualify for hedge accounting. For the three and
six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, other gains and losses recognized in other (income)
expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income related to changes in
the fair value of cash flow and fair value hedges excluded from the Companys effectiveness
assessments and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow and fair value
hedges were not material.
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP provides that fair value is an exit price, defined as a market-based measurement that
represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are based on one or more
of the following three valuation techniques:
Market: | This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. | ||
Income: | This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations. | ||
Cost: | This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |
Further, GAAP prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used in the valuation techniques described
above into a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: | Observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. | ||
Level 2: | Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability. | ||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that reflect the entitys own assumptions about the exit price of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may be used if there is little or no market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
The Company discloses fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value
hierarchy level for its assets and liabilities that are measured or disclosed at fair value.

The Company determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using quoted market prices to
calculate the forward values and then discounts such forward values to the present value. The
discount rates used are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates. If a derivative
contract is in a net liability position, these discount rates are adjusted by an estimate of the
credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the
Companys counterparties. To estimate this credit spread, the Company uses significant assumptions
and factors other than quoted market rates, which would result in the classification of its
derivative liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, to the extent that such
adjustment is necessary. As of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no derivative
contracts that were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, there were
no transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the first half of 2011.
Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis The Company measures certain
assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table
above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable
inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
In the first half of 2011, there were no significant non-recurring fair value adjustments.
(16) Accounting Pronouncements
Goodwill Impairment
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended ASC 350, Intangibles Goodwill and
Other, with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill
Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This update requires
that step 2 of the goodwill impairment test (i.e., measurement and recognition of an impairment
loss) be performed if a reporting unit has a carrying value equal to or less than zero and
qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.
The provisions of this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2010. The Companys annual goodwill impairment test is conducted as of the first day of the
fourth quarter. The Company does not expect the effects of adoption to be significant.
Business Combinations
The FASB amended ASC 805, Business Combinations, with ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary
Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, to, among other things, require pro forma revenue
and earnings disclosures in comparative financial statements that reflect the results of operations
of the acquired entity as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the
prior year. The provisions of this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2010. The Company will evaluate the impact of this update on material future
business combinations.

Fair Value Measurements
The FASB amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, with ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about
Fair Value Measurements, to require additional disclosures related to activity within Level 3 of
the fair value hierarchy. The provisions of this update are effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2010. The effects of adoption were not significant. For further
information, see Note 15, Financial Instruments.
The FASB amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, with ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement
(Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in
U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This update provides converged guidance on how to measure fair value, which
is largely consistent with existing GAAP. This update also requires additional fair value
measurement disclosures. The provisions of this update are effective as of January 1, 2012. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its financial statement disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
The FASB amended ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, with ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. If a revenue arrangement has multiple deliverables,
this update requires the allocation of revenue to the separate deliverables based on relative
selling prices. In addition, this update requires additional ongoing disclosures about an entitys
multiple-element revenue arrangements. The provisions of this update were effective as of January
1, 2011. The effects of adoption were not significant.
Comprehensive Income
The FASB amended ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, with ASU 2001-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic
220) Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which comprehensive
income is presented in an entitys financial statements. This update requires the presentation of
the components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or
in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The option to present comprehensive income
on the statement of stockholders equity has been eliminated. In addition, this update requires
that reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive income and net income be presented on
the face of the respective financial statements. The provisions of this update are effective as of
January 1, 2012. The implementation of this update will have no impact on the manner in which the
Company accounts for comprehensive income.

Basis of Presentation Certain of Lears domestic 100% owned subsidiaries (the Guarantors) have
jointly and severally unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the performance and
the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise,
of the Companys obligations under its revolving credit facility and the indenture governing the
Notes, including the Companys obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest with
respect to the Notes. The Notes consist of $350 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity
of 7.875% senior unsecured notes due 2018 and $350 million in aggregate principal amount at
maturity of 8.125% senior unsecured notes due 2020. The Guarantors include Lear Automotive
Dearborn, Inc., Lear Corporation EEDS and Interiors, Lear European Operations Corporation, Lear
Mexican Holdings Corporation, Lear Mexican Seating Corporation, Lear Operations Corporation and
Lear Trim L.P. In connection with Companys Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Lear #50
Holdings, LLC, Lear Automotive Manufacturing, LLC, Lear Corporation Global Development, Inc., Lear
Mexican Holdings, L.L.C. and Lear South American Holdings Corporation were released as guarantors.
In lieu of providing separate financial statements for the Guarantors, the Company has included the
supplemental guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements above. These financial
statements reflect the Guarantors listed above for all periods presented. Management does not
believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantors are material to investors. Therefore,
separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantors are not presented.
The 2010 supplemental guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements have been restated to
reflect certain changes to the equity investments of the Guarantors.
Distributions There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make
distributions to the Company.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Corporate and division selling, general and
administrative expenses are allocated to the operating subsidiaries based on various factors, which
estimate usage of particular corporate and division functions, and in certain instances, other
relevant factors, such as the revenues or the number of employees of the Companys subsidiaries.
During the three months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, $4.8 million and $3.9 million,
respectively, of selling, general and administrative expenses were allocated from Lear. During the
six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, $10.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, of
selling, general and administrative expenses were allocated from Lear.

LEAR CORPORATION
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in Delaware in 1987 and are a leading tier 1 supplier to the global automotive
industry. We supply our products to virtually every major automotive manufacturer in the world.
We supply automotive manufacturers with complete automotive seat systems and related components, as
well as electrical distribution systems and related components. Our strategy is to focus on our
core capabilities, selective vertical integration and investments in technology; leverage our
global presence and expand our low-cost footprint; and enhance and diversify our strong customer
relationships through our operational performance.
Industry Overview
Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers, which is
ultimately dependent on consumer and fleet demand for automotive vehicles, and our level of content
on specific vehicle platforms, as well as the portion of such content manufactured internally.
Automotive sales and production can be affected by general economic or industry conditions, labor
relations issues, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements,
the availability and cost of credit and other factors. Our operating results are also
significantly impacted by the overall commercial success of the vehicle platforms for which we
supply particular products, as well as the profitability of the products that we supply for these
platforms. In addition, it is possible that customers could elect to manufacture our products
internally. The loss of business with respect to any vehicle model for which we are a significant
supplier, or a decrease in the production levels of any such models, could have a material adverse
impact on our operating results. In addition, larger cars and light trucks, as well as vehicle
platforms that offer more features and functionality, such as luxury, sport utility and crossover
vehicles, typically have more content and, therefore, tend to have a more significant impact on our
operating results.
In recent years, the global automotive industry has undergone major restructuring and consolidation
in response to overcapacity, narrow profit margins, excess debt and the necessary realignment of
resources from mature markets to emerging markets. In 2008 and continuing into 2009, the global
economic downturn and associated decline in automotive production (particularly in North America
and Europe) represented a turning point for the industry.
During this period, industry production in North America and Europe experienced the steepest
peak-to-trough declines in history. In North America, industry production declined 50% from a
peak of 17.2 million units in 2000 to a trough of 8.6 million units in 2009. In Europe, industry
production declined over 20% from a peak of 20.2 million units in 2007 to a trough of 15.6
million units in 2009.
The year ended December 31, 2010, saw a significant improvement in industry production volumes
globally. This trend continued in the first half of 2011. North American industry production
increased by approximately 8.4% and European industry production increased by approximately 4.2% as
compared to the first half of 2010 to 6.5 million units and 9.6 million units, respectively.
The majority of our sales continue to be derived from automotive manufacturers based in North
America and Europe. Our financial results are impacted by changes in our customers market share.
Our ability to reduce the risks inherent in certain concentrations of business, and thereby
maintain our financial performance in the future, will depend, in part, on our ability to continue
to diversify our sales on a customer, product, platform and geographic basis to reflect the market
overall.
Our customers require us to reduce our prices over the life of a vehicle model and, at the same
time, assume significant responsibility for the design, development and engineering of our
products. Our financial performance is largely dependent on our ability to achieve product cost
reductions through restructuring actions, manufacturing efficiencies, product design enhancement
and supply chain management. We also seek to enhance our financial performance by investing in
product development, design capabilities and new product initiatives that respond to the needs of
our customers and consumers. We continually evaluate operational and strategic alternatives to
align our business with the changing needs of our customers, improve our business structure and
lower our operating costs.
Our material cost as a percentage of net sales was 68.4% in the first half of 2011, as compared to
67.9% in 2010 and 69.0% in 2009. Raw material, energy and commodity costs have been volatile over
the past several years. Unfavorable industry conditions over the last several years also have
resulted in financial distress within our supply base and an increase in the risk of supply
disruption. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw
material, energy and commodity costs, which include cost reduction actions, such as the selective
in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term
30

purchase commitments, financial hedges for certain commodities and the selective expansion of
low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking.
However, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers,
typically offset only a portion of the adverse impact. These costs remain volatile and could have
an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future.
We continue to monitor and assess the impact on our business of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan
that occurred in March 2011. We do not have any production facilities in Japan, and our sales in
Japan have not been significant historically, with sales in Japan representing only 1.6% of total
sales in 2010. The earthquake and tsunami, however, have adversely impacted portions of the
automotive industry outside of Japan, leading to intermittent customer production downtime and
continued shortages of certain electronic components. Although there is uncertainty regarding the
ultimate impact of these events, the indirect impact that we experienced in the second quarter was
not material to our results of operations, and we do not anticipate a material impact on our
results of operations for the full year.

Factors, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2011.
Financial Measures
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus primarily on earnings,
cash flows and return on invested capital. In addition to maintaining and expanding our business
with our existing customers in our more established markets, our expansion plans are focused on
emerging markets. Asia, in particular, continues to present significant growth opportunities, as
major global automotive manufacturers implement production expansion plans and local automotive
manufacturers aggressively expand their operations to meet demand in this region. We currently
have 20 joint ventures with operations in Asia, as well as an additional three joint ventures in
North America and Europe dedicated to serving Asian automotive manufacturers. In addition, we have
aggressively pursued this strategy by selectively increasing our vertical integration capabilities
and expanding our component manufacturing capacity in Mexico, Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia.
Furthermore, we have expanded our low-cost engineering capabilities in China, India and the
Philippines.
Our success in generating cash flow will depend, in part, on our ability to manage working capital
effectively. Working capital can be significantly impacted by the timing of cash flows from sales
and purchases. Historically, we have generally been successful in aligning our vendor payment
terms with our customer payment terms. However, our ability to continue to do so may be adversely
impacted by the unfavorable financial results of our suppliers and adverse automotive industry
conditions, as well as our financial results. In addition, our cash flow is impacted by our
ability to manage our inventory and capital spending effectively. We utilize return on invested
capital as a measure of the efficiency with which assets are deployed to increase our earnings.
Improvements in our return on invested capital will depend on our ability to maintain an
appropriate asset base for our business and to increase productivity and operating efficiency.
Operational Restructuring
In 2005, we initiated a multi-year operational restructuring strategy to (i) eliminate excess
capacity and lower our operating costs, (ii) streamline our organizational structure and reposition
our business for improved long-term profitability and (iii) better align our manufacturing
footprint with the changing needs of our customers. In light of industry conditions and customer
announcements, we expanded this strategy. Through the end of 2010, we incurred pretax
restructuring costs of approximately $736 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of
$73 million.
In the first half of 2011, we incurred additional restructuring costs of approximately $5 million
and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $1 million as we continue to
restructure our global operations and aggressively reduce our costs. Cash expenditures related to
our restructuring actions totaled $11 million in the first half of 2011.
Our restructuring strategy has resulted in the closure of 44 manufacturing and 11 administrative
facilities and a current footprint with more than 80% of our component facilities and more than 90%
of our related employment in 20 low-cost countries. We expect elevated restructuring actions and
related investments of approximately $100 million in 2011 and to moderate thereafter.
Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, fixed asset impairment charges and
contract termination costs, as well as other incremental costs resulting from the restructuring
actions. These incremental costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs.
Although each restructuring action is unique, based upon the nature of our operations, we expect
that the allocation of future restructuring costs will be consistent with historical experience.
We also incur incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating locations impacted by
the restructuring actions during the related restructuring implementation period. Restructuring

costs are recognized in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Generally, charges are recorded as
restructuring actions are approved and/or implemented. Actual costs recorded in our consolidated
financial statements may vary from current estimates.
For further information, see Note 2, Restructuring Activities, to the condensed consolidated
financial statements included in this Report.
Revolving Credit Facility
In June 2011, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which among other things,
increased the amount available under our existing revolving credit facility to $500 million and
extended its maturity to June 17, 2016. For further information, see Liquidity and Capital
Resources Capitalization, and Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this Report.
Share Repurchase Program, Stock Split and Quarterly Cash Dividend
In February 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a three year, $400 million common stock share
repurchase program and declared a two-for-one stock split of our common stock. In February and May
2011, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common
stock. For further information, see Liquidity and Capital Resources Capitalization, and
Note 12, Comprehensive Income and Equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this Report.
Other Matters
In the six months ended July 2, 2011, we recognized a gain of $4 million related to an affiliate
transaction. In the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, we recognized a tax benefit of $20
million related to the reversal of a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax
assets of a foreign subsidiary.
In the six months ended July 3, 2010, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of
approximately $12 million, resulting from the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in
conjunction with the issuance of our senior unsecured notes. In the three and six months ended
July 3, 2010, we recognized tax benefits of $15 million and $33 million, respectively, related to
reductions in recorded tax reserves.

Three Months Ended July 2, 2011 vs. Three Months Ended July 3, 2010
Net sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $3.7 billion, as compared to $3.0 billion in the
second quarter of 2010, an increase of $637 million or 21%. The impact of new business and net
foreign exchange rate fluctuations positively impacted net sales by $238 million and $224 million,
respectively. Net sales also benefited from improved production volumes on Lear platforms.
Cost of sales in the second quarter of 2011 was $3.3 billion, as compared to $2.7 billion in the
second quarter of 2010. This increase is largely due to the impact of new business and net foreign
exchange rate fluctuations and is consistent with the increase in net sales.
Gross profit and gross margin were $347 million and 9.4% in the quarter ended July 2, 2011, as
compared to $293 million and 9.6% in the quarter ended July 3, 2010. The impact of new business
and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations, as well as improved production volumes on Lear
platforms, positively impacted gross profit by $55 million. The impact of selling price
reductions, as well as higher commodity and launch costs, was largely offset by favorable operating
performance and the benefit of operational restructuring actions. In addition, gross profit
includes operational restructuring costs of $2 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared
to $8 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were
$119 million in the three months ended July 2, 2011, as compared to $113 million in the three
months ended July 3, 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to an increase in engineering and development expenses, partially offset by lower
compensation-related costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses declined to 3.2% in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to 3.7% in the second quarter
of 2010, due to the increase in net sales.
Amortization of intangible assets was $7 million in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010.
Interest expense was $11 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $13 million in the
second quarter of 2010.
Other (income) expense, net, which includes equity in net income of affiliates, non-income related
taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative
instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the sales of assets and other miscellaneous
income and expense, was expense of $4 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to income
of $23 million in the second quarter of 2010. Other (income) expense declined by $23 million
between periods due to reduced net income from affiliates and unfavorable foreign exchange.
The provision for income taxes was $20 million for the second quarter of 2011, representing an
effective tax rate of 9.6% on pretax income of $205 million, as compared to $17 million for the
second quarter of 2010, representing an effective tax rate of 9.5% on a pretax income of $183
million. In the second quarter of 2011, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by
the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions, as well as a tax benefit of $20 million related to the reversal
of a full valuation allowance with
33

respect to the deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary. The
provision was also impacted by a portion of our restructuring charges and other expenses, for which
no tax benefit was provided as the charges were incurred in certain countries for which no tax
benefit is likely to be realized due to a history of operating losses in those countries. In the
second quarter of 2010, the provision for income taxes was impacted by the mix of earnings among
tax jurisdictions, as well as tax benefits of $15 million, including interest, related to
reductions in recorded tax reserves. The provision was also impacted by a portion of our
restructuring charges and other expenses, for which no tax benefit was provided as the charges were
incurred in certain countries for which no tax benefit is likely to be realized due to a history of
operating losses in those countries. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate in the second
quarters of 2011 and 2010 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% adjusted
for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, foreign and U.S. valuation
allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.
Further, our current and future provision for income taxes is significantly impacted by the initial
recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries, particularly the United
States. We intend to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred
tax assets will be realized. Our future 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 allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by the U.S.
and foreign valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions.
We were profitable in 2010 and 2009 in several international jurisdictions for which we have
provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. If we continue to experience
sustained levels of profitability in these jurisdictions, our assessment of the need for a full
valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions could change.
Any reduction to a valuation allowance will reduce our tax expense in the quarter in which such
reduction occurs.
Net income attributable to Lear in the second quarter of 2011 was $178 million, or $1.65 per
diluted share, as compared to $160 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of
2010, for the reasons described above. Net income per share data for 2010 has been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split described in Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capitalization, and Note 12, Comprehensive Income and Equity, to the condensed consolidated
financial statements included in this Report.
Reportable Operating Segments
We have two reportable operating segments: seating, which includes seat systems and related
components, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks, seat trim covers, headrests and
seat foam, and electrical power management systems (EPMS), which includes wiring, connectors,
junction boxes and various other components of electrical distribution systems for traditional
powertrain vehicles, as well as for hybrid and electric vehicles. The financial information
presented below is for our two reportable operating segments and our other category for the periods
presented. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters,
geographic headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the
requirements of being classified as an operating segment. Corporate and geographic headquarters
costs include various support functions, such as information technology, purchasing, corporate
finance, legal, executive administration and human resources. Financial measures regarding each
segments income before interest expense, other (income) expense, net and provision for income
taxes (segment earnings) and segment earnings divided by net sales (margin) are not measures of
performance under GAAP. Segment earnings and the related margin are used by management to evaluate
the performance of our reportable operating segments. Segment earnings should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for net income attributable to Lear, net cash provided by operating
activities or other statement of income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with
GAAP or as measures of profitability or liquidity. In addition, segment earnings, as we determine
it, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For
a reconciliation of consolidated segment earnings to consolidated income before provision for
income taxes, see Note 14, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this Report.

Seating systems net sales were $2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $2.4
billion in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $452 million or 18.8%. The impact of new
business and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations positively impacted net sales by $214 million
and $167 million, respectively. Segment earnings, including restructuring costs, and the related
margin on net sales were $223 million and 7.8% in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $207
million and 8.6% in the second quarter of 2010. The benefit of our restructuring and other
operating performance actions, as well as the impact of new business and net foreign exchange rate
fluctuations, positively impacted segment earnings by $83 million. These increases were largely
offset by the impact of selling price reductions, as well as higher program development and
commodity costs. In addition, in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, we incurred costs of $2
million related to our restructuring actions.

platforms and the impact of net foreign exchange rate fluctuations positively impacted net sales by
$81 million and $57 million, respectively. Net sales also benefited from the impact of new
business. Segment earnings, including restructuring costs, and the related margin on net sales
were $49 million and 5.9% in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $24 million and 3.7% in the
second quarter of 2010. The benefit of our restructuring and other operating performance actions
and improved production volumes on Lear platforms positively impacted segment earnings by $42
million. These increases were partially offset by the impact of higher launch and commodity costs.
In addition, in the second quarter of 2011, we incurred costs of $1 million related to our
restructuring actions, as compared to $9 million in the second quarter of 2010.

Six Months Ended July 2, 2011 vs. Six Months Ended July 3, 2010
Net sales in the first six months of 2011 were $7.2 billion, as compared to $6.0 billion in first
six months of 2010, an increase of $1.2 billion or 20.2%. The impact of new business, improved
production volumes on Lear platforms and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations positively impacted
net sales by $425 million, $397 million and $246 million, respectively.
Cost of sales in the first six months of 2011 was $6.5 billion, as compared to $5.4 billion in the
first six months of 2010. This increase is largely due to the impact of new business, improved
production volumes on Lear platforms and the impact of net foreign exchange rate fluctuations and
is consistent with the increase in net sales.

Gross profit and gross margin were $670 million and 9.3% in the six months ended July 2, 2011, as
compared to $548 million and 9.2% in the six months ended July 3, 2010. Favorable operating
performance and the benefit of operational restructuring actions, as well as improved production
volumes on Lear platforms, positively impacted gross profit by $212 million. The impact of selling
price reductions, as well as higher commodity and launch costs, was partially offset by the impact
of new business. In addition, gross profit includes operational restructuring costs of $4 million
in the first six months of 2011, as compared to $22 million in the first six months of 2010.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were
$237 million in the six months ended July 2, 2011, as compared to $241 million in the six months
ended July 3, 2010. Lower compensation-related costs were largely offset by an increase in
engineering and development expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses declined to 3.3% in the first six months of 2011, as compared to 4.0% in
the first six months of 2010, due to the increase in net sales.
Amortization of intangible assets was $14 million in the first half of 2011, as compared to $13
million in the first half of 2010.
Interest expense was $14 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared to $32 million in the
first six months of 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the refund of interest related to a
favorable settlement of an indirect tax matter in a foreign jurisdiction and lower overall debt
levels.
Other (income) expense, net, which includes equity in net income of affiliates, non-income related
taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative
instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the sales of assets and other miscellaneous
income and expense, was income of $3 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared to income
of $2 million in the first six months of 2010. In the first six months of 2011, we recognized a
gain of $4 million related to a fair market value adjustment in conjunction with a transaction with
an affiliate. In the first six months of 2010, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt
of $12 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. Other (income) expense
declined by $10 million between periods due to reduced net income from affiliates.
The provision for income taxes was $60 million for the first six months of 2011, representing an
effective tax rate of 14.6% on pretax income of $408 million, as compared to $24 million for the
first six months of 2010, representing an effective tax rate of 9.0% on pretax income of $263
million. In the first six months of 2011, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by
the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions, as well a tax benefit of $20 million related to the
reversal of a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets of a foreign
subsidiary. The provision was also impacted by a portion of our restructuring charges and other
expenses, for which no tax benefit was provided as the charges were incurred in certain countries
for which no tax benefit is likely to be realized due to a history of operating losses in those
countries. In the first six months of 2010, the provision for income taxes was impacted by the mix
of earnings among tax jurisdictions, as well as a tax benefit of $33 million, including interest,
related to reductions in recorded tax reserves. The provision was also impacted by a portion of
our restructuring charges and other expenses, for which no tax benefit was provided as the charges
were incurred in certain countries for which no tax benefit is likely to be realized due to a
history of operating losses in those countries. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate in
the first half of 2011 and 2010 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35%
adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, foreign and U.S. valuation
allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.
Further, our current and future provision for income taxes is significantly impacted by the initial
recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries, particularly the United
States. We intend to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred

sustained levels of profitability in these jurisdictions, our assessment of the need for a full
valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions could change.
Any reduction to a valuation allowance will reduce our tax expense in the period in which such
reduction occurs.

EPMS net sales were $1.6 billion in the first six months of 2011, as compared to $1.3 billion in
the first six months of 2010, an increase of $346 million or 27.6%. Improved production volumes on
Lear platforms positively impacted net sales by $206 million. Net sales also benefited from the
favorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations and the impact of new business. Segment earnings,
including restructuring costs, and the related margin on net sales were $93 million and 5.8% in the
first six months of 2011, as compared to $49 million and 3.9% in the first six months of 2010.
Improved production volumes on Lear platforms and the benefit of our restructuring and other
performance actions positively impacted segment earnings by $88 million. These increases were
partially were partially offset by the impact of higher commodity and launch costs, as well as
selling price reductions. In addition, in the first six months of 2011, we incurred costs of $2
million related to our restructuring actions, as compared to $15 million in 2010.

Our other category includes unallocated corporate and geographic headquarters costs, as well as the
elimination of intercompany activity. Corporate and geographic headquarters costs include various
support functions, such as information technology, purchasing, corporate finance, legal, executive
administration and human resources. Segment earnings related to our other category were ($105)
million in the first six months of 2011, as compared to ($112) million in the first six months of
2010.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund general business requirements, including working capital
requirements, capital expenditures, operational restructuring actions and debt service
requirements. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities,
borrowings under available credit facilities and our existing cash balance. A substantial portion
of our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, we are dependent on the
earnings and cash flows of and the combination of dividends, royalties, intercompany loan
repayments and other distributions and advances from our subsidiaries to provide the funds
necessary to meet our obligations. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of our
subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Lear. For further information
regarding potential dividends from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, see Note 9, Income Taxes, to the
consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $361 million in the first six months of 2011, as
compared to $266 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase primarily reflects higher
earnings in the first half of 2011, partially offset by the net change in working capital items,
which resulted in a decrease in operating cash flow of $83 million between periods. In the first
six months of 2011, increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable resulted in a use of cash
of $451 million and a source of cash of $386 million, respectively, primarily reflecting the impact
of increased production volumes on Lear platforms.
Net cash used in investing activities was $136 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared
to $74 million in the first six months of 2010, primarily reflecting an increase in capital
expenditures of $80 million between periods. Capital spending in 2011 is estimated at
approximately $325 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was $153 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared
to $272 million in the first six months of 2010. The decrease in financing cash outflow between
periods primarily reflects the impact of our 2010 financing transactions. In 2010, we repaid $925
million of term loans under our first and second lien credit agreements, largely offset by net
proceeds of $680 million related to the issuance of our senior unsecured notes. In 2011, we paid
$26 million in dividends to our stockholders, paid $18 million in dividends to noncontrolling
interests and repurchased $100 million of our common stock. For further information regarding our
2010 financing transactions, see Note 8, Long-Term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. For further
information regarding our dividends and share repurchase program, see Capitalization, below
and Note 12, Comprehensive Income and Equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this Report.
Capitalization
In addition to cash provided by operating activities, we utilize uncommitted credit facilities to
fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements at certain of our foreign
subsidiaries. We utilize uncommitted lines of credit as needed for our short-term working capital
fluctuations. For the six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, our average outstanding
short-term debt balance was $3 million and $34 million, respectively. The weighted average
short-term interest rate on our short-term debt balances was 6.7% and 2.5% for the respective
periods. The availability of uncommitted lines of credit may be affected by our financial
performance, credit ratings and other factors.

LEAR CORPORATION
Senior Notes
As of July 2, 2011, our long-term debt consists of $350 million in aggregate principal amount at
maturity of unsecured 7.875% senior notes due 2018 (the 2018 Notes) and $350 million in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of unsecured 8.125% senior notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes and
together with the 2018 Notes, the Notes).
Scheduled cash interest payments on the Notes are approximately $28 million in the last six months
of 2011. As of July 2, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture
governing the Notes.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations. Obligations under the Notes are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of
Lears domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear.
For further information related to the Notes, including information on early redemption, covenants
and events of default, see Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this Report and Note 8, Long-Term Debt, to the consolidated financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 17, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, under which we have a
$500 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility), which permits borrowings
for general corporate and working capital purposes and the issuance of letters of credit. The
commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility expire on June 17, 2016. As of July 2, 2011, there
were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and we were in compliance with
all covenants under the agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility.
For further information related to the Revolving Credit Facility, including information on pricing,
covenants and events of default, see Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to the condensed consolidated
financial statements included in this Report and Note 8, Long-Term Debt, to the consolidated
financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees and Commitments
We guarantee 49% of certain of the debt of one of our unconsolidated affiliates, Tacle Seating USA,
LLC. As of July 2, 2011, the aggregate amount of debt guaranteed was approximately $2 million.
Common Stock Share Repurchase Program
On February 16, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a three year, $400 million common stock
share repurchase program, which permits the discretionary repurchase of our outstanding common
stock through February 16, 2014. In the first half of 2011, we repurchased 1,988,274 shares of our
outstanding common stock (share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the two-for-one
stock split discussed below) at an average purchase price of $50.31 per share, including
commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million, and may repurchase an additional $300
million in shares of our outstanding common stock under this program. The extent to which we will
repurchase our outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon our
financial condition, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors.
In addition, our amended and restated credit facility and bond indentures place certain limitations
on the repurchase of common shares. See Forward-Looking Statements.
Stock Split
During the first quarter of 2011, we completed a two-for-one stock split of our common stock. For
further information, see Note 12, Comprehensive Income and Equity, to the condensed consolidated
financial statements included in this Report.

May 12, 2011 | June 3, 2011 | June 22, 2011 |
We expect to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future, although such payment is at the discretion
of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations,
capital requirements, alternative uses of capital and other factors that our
39

Board of Directors may consider at its discretion. In addition, our amended and restated credit
facility and bond indentures place certain limitations on the payment of cash dividends.
Adequacy of Liquidity Sources
As of July 2, 2011, we had approximately $1.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $500
million in available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, which we believe will enable
us to meet our liquidity needs to satisfy ordinary course business obligations. However, our
ability to continue to meet such liquidity needs is subject to, and will be affected by, cash flows
from operations, including the impact of restructuring activities, automotive industry conditions,
the financial condition of our customers and suppliers and other related factors. Additionally, an
economic downturn or reduction in production levels could negatively impact our financial
condition. Furthermore, our future financial results will be affected by cash flows from
operations, including the impact of restructuring activities, and will also be subject to certain
factors outside of our control, including those described above. For further discussion of the
risks and uncertainties affecting our cash flows from operations and overall liquidity, see
Executive Overview above, Forward-Looking Statements below and Item 1A, Risk Factors, in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as supplemented and updated by
Part II Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 2, 2011.
Market Rate Sensitivity
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates and interest rates. We manage a portion of these risks through the use of
derivative financial instruments in accordance with managements guidelines. We enter into all
hedging transactions for periods consistent with the underlying exposures. We do not enter into
derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Exchange
Operating results may be impacted by our buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the
functional currency of our operating companies (transactional exposure). We may mitigate a
portion of this risk by entering into forward foreign exchange, futures and option contracts. The
foreign exchange contracts are executed with banks that we believe are creditworthy. Gains and
losses related to foreign exchange contracts are deferred where appropriate and included in the
measurement of the foreign currency transaction subject to the hedge. Gains and losses incurred
related to foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by the direct effects of currency
movements on the underlying transactions.
Currently, our most significant foreign currency transactional exposures relate to the Mexican
peso, various European currencies and the Chinese renminbi. We have performed a quantitative
analysis of our net currency rate exposure as of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As of July 2,
2011, the potential earnings benefit related to net transactional exposures from a hypothetical 10%
strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a
twelve-month period is approximately $3 million. In addition, the potential earnings benefit
related to net transactional exposures from a similar strengthening of the Euro relative to all
other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period is approximately $6 million. As
of December 31, 2010, the potential earnings benefit related to net transactional exposures from a
hypothetical 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies to which it is
exposed for a twelve-month period is approximately $22 million. In addition, the potential
earnings benefit related to net transactional exposures from a similar strengthening of the Euro
relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period is approximately
$15 million.
As of July 2, 2011, foreign exchange contracts representing $345 million of notional amount were
outstanding with maturities of less than six months. As of July 2, 2011, the fair value of these
contracts was approximately $10 million. A 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to
all other currencies to which it is exposed would result in a $10 million change in the aggregate
fair value of these contracts. A 10% change in the value of the Euro relative to all other
currencies to which it is exposed would result in a $5 million change in the aggregate fair value
of these contracts. As of December 31, 2010, foreign exchange contracts representing $315 million
of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than 12 months. As of December 31,
2010, the fair value of these contracts was approximately ($1) million. A 10% change in the value
of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed would have resulted in a
$7 million change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts. A 10% change in the value of the
Euro relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed would have resulted in a $4 million
change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts.
There are certain shortcomings inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented. The analysis
assumes that all currencies would uniformly strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar or
Euro. In reality, some currencies may strengthen while others may weaken, causing the earnings
impact to increase or decrease depending on the currency and the direction of the rate movement.
40

LEAR CORPORATION
In addition to the transactional exposure described above, our operating results are impacted by
the translation of our foreign operating income into U.S. dollars (translation exposure). In
2010, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 82% of our consolidated net sales,
although certain non-U.S. sales are U.S. dollar denominated. We do not enter into foreign exchange
contracts to mitigate this exposure.
Interest Rates
Historically, we have used interest rate swap and other derivative contracts to manage our exposure
to variable interest rates on outstanding variable rate debt instruments indexed to United States
or European Monetary Union short-term money market rates. As of July 2, 2011 and December 31,
2010, there were no interest rate contracts outstanding. We will continue to evaluate, and may
use, derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other
derivative contracts to manage our exposures to fluctuations in interest rates in the future.
Commodity Prices
Raw material, energy and commodity costs have been volatile over the past several years. We have
developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy and
commodity costs, which include cost reduction actions, such as the selective in-sourcing of
components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments,
financial hedges for certain commodities and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing
and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. However, these strategies,
together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, typically offset only a
portion of the adverse impact. These costs remain volatile and could have an adverse impact on our
operating results in the foreseeable future. See Forward-Looking Statements below and Item
1A, Risk Factors Increases in the costs and restrictions on the availability of raw materials,
energy, commodities and product components could adversely affect our financial performance, in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as supplemented and updated by
Part II Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 2, 2011.
We have commodity price risk with respect to purchases of certain raw materials, including steel,
leather, resins, chemicals, copper and diesel fuel. Our main cost exposures relate to steel and
copper. The majority of the steel used in our products is comprised of components that are
integrated into a seat system, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks and mechanical
components. Therefore, our exposure to steel prices is primarily indirect, through these purchased
components. Approximately 80% of our copper purchases are subject to price index agreements with
our customers.
We use derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in copper prices. As of July
2, 2011, commodity swap contracts representing $7 million of notional amount were outstanding with
maturities of less than ten months. As of July 2, 2011, the fair market value of these contracts
was ($0.2) million. The potential adverse earnings impact from a 10% parallel decline in the
copper curve for a twelve-month period is less than $1 million. As of December 31, 2010, there
were no commodity swap contracts outstanding.
OTHER MATTERS
Legal and Environmental Matters
We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without
limitation, commercial and contractual disputes, product liability claims and environmental and
other matters. As of July 2, 2011, we had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including
commercial disputes and other matters, of $20 million. In addition, as of July 2, 2011, we had
recorded reserves for product liability claims and environmental matters of $41 million and $3
million, respectively. Although these reserves were determined in accordance with GAAP, the
ultimate outcomes of these matters are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ
significantly from current estimates. For a description of risks related to various legal
proceedings and claims, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2010, as supplemented and updated by Part II Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2011. For a more complete description
of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 13, Legal and Other Contingencies, to the
condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain of our accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These
estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts,
our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and suppliers and
information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. However, these estimates and
assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. As a result, actual
results in these areas may differ significantly from our estimates. For a discussion of our
significant accounting policies and critical

accounting estimates, see Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates, and
Note 4, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been
no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates
during the first six months of 2011.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Goodwill Impairment
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended ASC 350, Intangibles Goodwill and
Other, with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill
Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This update requires
that step 2 of the goodwill impairment test (i.e., measurement and recognition of an impairment
loss) be performed if a reporting unit has a carrying value equal to or less than zero and
qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.
The provisions of this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2010. Our annual goodwill impairment test is conducted as of the first day of the fourth
quarter. We do not expect the effects of adoption to be significant.
Business Combinations
The FASB amended ASC 805, Business Combinations, with ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary
Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, to, among other things, require pro forma revenue
and earnings disclosures in comparative financial statements that reflect the results of operations
of the acquired entity as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the
prior year. The provisions of this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2010. We will evaluate the impact of this update on material future business
combinations.
Fair Value Measurements
The FASB amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, with ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement
(Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in
U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This update provides converged guidance on how to measure fair value, which
is largely consistent with existing GAAP. This update also requires additional fair value
measurement disclosures. The provisions of this update are effective as of January 1, 2012. We
are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures | |
The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and President along with the Companys Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Based on the evaluation described above, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and President along with the Companys Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the desired control objectives were achieved as of the end of the period covered by this Report. |
(b) | Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting |
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. |
