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 automotive seats 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.
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.
In the second quarter of 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Guilford Mills (Guilford) for $243.9 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. For further information on the acquisition of Guilford, see Note 3, Acquisition, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
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 September 28, 2013.
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
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 nine months of 2013, the Company recorded charges of $42.9 million in connection with its restructuring actions. These charges consist of $30.7 million recorded as cost of sales and $12.2 million recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. The restructuring charges consist of employee termination benefits of $28.1 million, asset impairment charges of $4.6 million and contract termination costs of $0.3 million, as well as other related costs of $9.9 million. Employee termination benefits were recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy. Asset impairment charges relate to the disposal of buildings, leasehold improvements and machinery and/or equipment with carrying values of $4.6 million in excess of related estimated fair values. The Company expects to incur approximately $15 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of September 28, 2013, and expects that the components of such costs will be consistent with its historical experience. Any future restructuring actions will depend upon market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

(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 nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company capitalized $139.8 million and $161.0 million, respectively, of pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer. During the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company also capitalized $164.3 million and $121.6 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 first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company collected $296.5 million and $209.4 million, respectively, of cash related to E&D and tooling costs.

Depreciation expense was $64.4 million and $54.9 million for the three months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively, and $182.5 million and $151.0 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, 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 from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The Company does not believe that there were any indicators that would have resulted in long-lived asset impairment charges as of September 28, 2013. 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.
In the first nine months of 2013, the Company recognized asset impairment charges of $4.6 million in conjunction with its restructuring actions (Note 2, Restructuring).
Investments in Affiliates
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 22.88% ownership interest in International Automotive Components Group North America, LLC for net proceeds of $49.6 million. The Company did not recognize a significant gain or loss related to this transaction.
(6) Goodwill
A summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, all of which relates to the seating segment, for the nine months ended September 28, 2013, is shown below (in millions):

|

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 annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit 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 its fourth quarter.
The Company does not believe that there were any indicators that would have resulted in goodwill impairment charges as of September 28, 2013. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of significant events or circumstances on its recorded goodwill.

As of September 28, 2013, the Companys long-term debt consists of $280 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2018 at a stated coupon rate of 7.875% (the 2018 Notes), $280 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2020 at a stated coupon rate of 8.125% (the 2020 Notes) and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2023 at a stated coupon rate of 4.75% (the 2023 Notes and together with the 2018 Notes and the 2020 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 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes were issued on March 26, 2010, and interest on the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2018 Notes mature on March 15, 2018, and the 2020 Notes mature on March 15, 2020.
On March 26, 2013, the Company redeemed 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of each of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid $72.1 million and recognized a loss of approximately $3.6 million on the partial extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2013.
The 2023 Notes were issued on January 17, 2013, and interest on the 2023 Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The 2023 Notes were offered and sold in a private transaction to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and, outside of the United States, pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The 2023 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In connection with the issuance of the 2023 Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement providing, among other things, customary registration rights with respect to the exchange of the 2023 Notes for a new issue of registered notes with substantially identical terms to the 2023 Notes on or before June 2, 2014. The proceeds from the offering of $500 million, net of related issuance costs of $7.4 million, together with the Companys existing sources of liquidity, were used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the redemption of $70 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes during 2013 (see above), investments in additional component capabilities and emerging markets and share repurchases under the Companys common stock share repurchase program (see Note 12, Comprehensive Income and Equity). The 2023 Notes mature on January 15, 2023.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations. The Companys obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear. See Note 17, Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements.
The indenture governing the 2018 Notes and the 2020 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 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes. In addition, if in the future the 2018 Notes and the 2020 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 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes have an investment grade credit rating by both rating agencies. The indenture governing the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes also contains customary events of default.

An annual facility fee is payable which ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% of the total amount committed under the revolving credit facility.
The Companys obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured on a first priority basis by a lien on substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, as well as 100% of the stock of the Companys domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of the Companys foreign subsidiaries. In addition, obligations under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a first priority basis, by certain domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear.

(10) Income Taxes

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
The effective tax rate increased in 2013 as compared to 2012 primarily due to the reversal of a substantial portion of the Companys U.S. valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2012. As a result of the reversal, the provision for income taxes in the first nine months of 2013 includes U.S. federal income tax expense at a rate of 35% with respect to the Companys earnings in the United States. The provision for income taxes in the first nine months of 2012 includes no U.S. federal income tax expense with respect to the Companys earnings in the United States.
In the first nine months of 2013, the Company recognized tax benefits of $3.4 million primarily related to the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which was signed into law on January 2, 2013, and net tax benefits of $21.7 million related to net changes in valuation allowances with respect to the deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. In the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the provision for income taxes was impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. 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. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.
The Companys current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Companys future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Companys deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Companys decisions regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods.
For further information , see Note 8, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
(11) Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear
Basic net income per share attributable to Lear is computed by dividing net income attributable to Lear 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 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.
Diluted net income per share attributable to Lear is 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.

Subsequent to this action, the Company received notice from certain of its stockholders, Marcato Capital Management LLC, Oskie Capital Management and their affiliates (together, the Marcato-Oskie Group), that they intended to nominate three directors for election and propose certain other business at the Companys 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. Following discussions with the Marcato-Oskie Group and continued review of the Companys capital structure by the Board of Directors, in April 2013, the Company and the Marcato-Oskie Group entered into an agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Marcato-Oskie Group agreed to withdraw its director nominees, the Company agreed to appoint a ninth director who is mutually acceptable to the Company and the Marcato-Oskie Group, as promptly as practicable following the Companys 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, and the Board of Directors authorized a further acceleration of the Companys existing common stock share repurchase program so that the program will be completed no later than March 2014. In addition, under the terms of the agreement, the Board of Directors approved a new two-year common stock share repurchase authorization of $750 million to commence immediately following the completion of the current authorization.
Pursuant to the agreement reached with the Marcato-Oskie Group described above, on April 25, 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated stock repurchase (ASR) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $800 million of its common stock. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company paid $800 million to the financial institution, using cash on-hand, and received an initial delivery of 11,862,836 shares. This initial share delivery represented 80% of the ASR transactions value at the then-current

price of $53.95 per share. These shares have been included in common stock held in treasury as of the applicable delivery date. The remaining 20% of the ASR transactions value, or $160 million, has been included in additional paid-in-capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2013, and will be transferred to common stock held in treasury upon settlement of the ASR transaction. The ultimate number of shares to be repurchased and the final price paid per share under the ASR transaction will be based on the daily volume weighted average price of the Companys common stock during the term of the ASR agreement, less an agreed upon discount. At settlement, if the ultimate number of shares to be repurchased exceeds the 11,862,836 shares initially delivered, the Company will receive additional shares from the financial institution. If the ultimate number of shares to be repurchased is less than the 11,862,836 shares initially delivered, the Company has the contractual right to either deliver additional shares or cash equal to the value of those shares to the financial institution. The ASR transaction is expected to be completed no later than March 2014. For further information regarding the Companys ASR program, see Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Capitalization Common Stock Share Repurchase Program.
After completion of the ASR transaction, the Company will have a remaining repurchase authorization of $750 million under its common stock share repurchase program. The Company may implement these share repurchases through a variety of methods, including open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. 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 the indenture governing the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes place certain limitations on the Companys ability to repurchase its common shares.
Inclusive of the $800 million ASR transaction, the Company has paid $1.5 billion, in aggregate, for repurchases of its outstanding common stock, excluding commissions and related fees, since the first quarter of 2011. In the first nine months of 2013, the Company paid $1.0 billion, in aggregate, for repurchases of its outstanding common stock (15,533,758 shares repurchased, including the initial delivery of shares under the ASR transaction, at an average purchase price of $54.08, excluding commissions and fees). In the first nine months of 2012, the Company paid $172.6 million, in aggregate, for repurchases of its outstanding common stock (4,200,151 shares repurchased at an average purchase price of $41.10 per share, excluding commissions).
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 September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Pursuant to the agreement reached with the Marcato-Oskie Group described above, on September 26, 2013, the Company appointed Richard H. Bott to the Board of Directors of the Company.
Quarterly Dividend In the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Companys Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.17 and $0.14 per share of common stock, respectively. In the first nine months of 2013, dividends declared and paid totaled $44.8 million. In the first nine months of 2012, declared dividends totaled $42.3 million, and dividends paid totaled $40.9 million. 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 first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company acquired noncontrolling interests in certain of its consolidated subsidiaries.
(13) Legal and Other Contingencies
As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes and other matters, of $14.5 million and $12.8 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.

On October 5, 2011, a plaintiff filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against the Company and several other global suppliers of automotive wire harnesses alleging violations of federal and state antitrust and related laws. Since that time, a number of other plaintiffs have filed substantially similar class action complaints against the Company and these and other suppliers and individuals in a number of different federal district courts, and it is possible that additional similar lawsuits may be filed in the future. Plaintiffs purport to be direct and indirect purchasers of automotive wire harnesses supplied by the Company and/or the other defendants during the relevant period. The complaints allege that the defendants conspired to fix prices at which automotive wire harnesses were sold and that this had an anticompetitive effect upon interstate commerce in the United States. The complaints further allege that defendants fraudulently concealed their alleged conspiracy. The plaintiffs in these proceedings seek injunctive relief and recovery of an unspecified amount of damages, as well as costs and expenses relating to the proceedings, including attorneys fees. On February 7, 2012, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation entered an order transferring and coordinating the various civil actions, for pretrial purposes, into one proceeding in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. On May 14, 2012, three purported classes of plaintiffs direct purchasers of automotive wire harnesses; automotive dealers that indirectly purchased automotive wire harnesses or vehicles containing such harnesses; and indirect purchasers that purchased or leased vehicles containing automotive wire harnesses (or purchased replacement automotive wire harnesses for their vehicles) filed consolidated amended complaints in the consolidated proceeding. With respect to the Company, the consolidated amended complaints are substantially similar to the individual complaints that had been filed in the various jurisdictions. On July 13, 2012, the Company filed a motion to have these actions dismissed. On June 6, 2013, the District Court entered an order denying the Companys motion to dismiss and, on September 6, 2013, denied the Companys motion to certify the June 6, 2013 order for interlocutory appeal.
Beginning in early 2012, single putative class action complaints were filed in the Superior Courts of Justice in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia against the Company and several other global suppliers of automotive wire harnesses alleging violations of Canadian laws related to competition. The allegations in the complaints are substantially similar to those complaints that have been filed in the United States.
On November 17, 2011, the Company filed a motion with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking entry of an order enforcing the Companys 2009 Plan of Reorganization and directing dismissal of the pending class action complaints. The bankruptcy court heard oral argument on the motion and, on February 10, 2012, ruled that claims against the Company alleging violation of antitrust law are enjoined to the extent that they arose prior to the Companys emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on November 9, 2009. The bankruptcy court further held that the District Court was the appropriate forum to address antitrust claims arising after the Companys emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The Company appealed the bankruptcy courts decision on this issue, and in November 2012, the appellate court ruled in favor of the Company and remanded for consideration by the bankruptcy court the possible effects of certain alleged antitrust claims arising after November 9, 2009. This issue was stayed by the bankruptcy court until a decision was entered with respect to the Companys motion to dismiss the underlying class action complaints in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Following the District Courts June 6, 2013 order denying the Companys motion to dismiss, the Company renewed its request that the bankruptcy court enjoin the antitrust class action plaintiffs, and any similarly situated potential plaintiffs, from seeking damages against the Company for the period prior to November 9, 2009. The bankruptcy court heard oral argument on this matter on September 10, 2013, and the Company awaits a decision.
The ultimate outcome of this litigation, and consequently, an estimate of the possible loss, if any, related to this litigation, cannot reasonably be determined at this time. However, the Company believes the plaintiffs allegations against it are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself in these proceedings.
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.
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 attorneys 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 assurances 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 nine months ended September 28, 2013, 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 the Companys acquisition of UT Automotive. UTC manages and directly funds these environmental liabilities pursuant to its agreements and indemnities with the Company.
As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded environmental reserves of $5.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively. 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; however, no assurances can be given in this regard.
Other Matters
The Company is involved from time to time in various other legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, intellectual property matters, 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 assurances can be given in this regard.
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.

Insurance Recoveries
The Company has incurred losses and incremental costs related to the destruction of assets caused by a fire at one of its European production facilities in the third quarter of 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company reached a settlement for the recovery of such costs under applicable insurance policies. Anticipated proceeds from insurance recoveries related to losses and incremental costs that have been incurred (loss recoveries) are recognized when receipt is probable. Anticipated proceeds from insurance recoveries in excess of the net book value of destroyed property, plant and equipment (insurance gain contingencies) are recognized when all contingencies related to the claim have been resolved. Loss recoveries related to the destruction of inventory and incremental costs are included in costs of sales, and loss recoveries and insurance gain contingencies related to the destruction of property, plant and equipment are included in other expense, net. Cash proceeds related to the destruction of inventory and incremental costs are included in cash flows from operating activities, and cash proceeds related to the destruction of property, plant and equipment are included in cash flows from investing activities.
Since the fire in the third quarter of 2011, the Company incurred cumulative losses and incremental costs of $65.7 million ($7.3 million incurred in the nine months ended September 28, 2013; and $9.6 million and $27.4 million incurred in the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively). The Company also recognized in cost of sales cumulative recoveries of $59.1 million ($5.8 million and $26.0 million recognized in the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively) and in other expense cumulative recoveries and gains of $29.9 million ($7.2 million and $12.3 million recognized in the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively). In addition, the Company received cumulative cash proceeds of $89.0 million ($10.0 million and $37.8 million received in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively), of which $59.1 million ($2.9 million and $26.4 million received in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively) has been reflected in cash flows from operating activities and $29.9 million ($7.1 million and $11.4 million received in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively) has been reflected in cash flows from investing activities.
(14) Segment Reporting
The Company has two reportable operating segments: seating, which includes seats and related components, such as seat structures and mechanisms, seat covers, seat foam and headrests, and electrical power management systems (EPMS), which includes electrical distribution systems for both traditional powertrain vehicles, as well as high-power for hybrid and electric vehicles. Key components of electrical distribution systems include wiring harnesses, terminals and connectors, junction boxes, electronic control modules and wireless control devices, such as key fobs. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for 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 equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense and other expense (segment earnings) and (iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization.

(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 (Level 2 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy). As of September 28, 2013, the aggregate carrying value of the Companys Notes was $1,057.0 million, as compared to an estimated aggregate fair value of $1,070.6 million. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate carrying value of the Notes was $626.3 million, as compared to an estimated aggregate fair value of $696.6 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 the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of the exposure of a forecasted transaction or of the variability in the cash flows of 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).

The Companys derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination.
Foreign exchange The Company uses forwards, swaps and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects 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 exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the Chinese renminbi, Thai baht and the Canadian dollar. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, contracts designated as cash flow hedges with $762.2 million and $836.4 million, respectively, of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than 18 months and 17 months, respectively. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of these contracts was approximately $0.2 million and $19.9 million, respectively. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, other foreign currency derivative contracts that did not qualify for hedge accounting with $124.2 million and $23.4 million, respectively, of notional amount were outstanding. These foreign currency derivative contracts consist principally of hedges of cash transactions of up to 12 months, hedges of intercompany loans and hedges of certain other balance sheet exposures. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of these contracts was approximately $1.3 million and approximately zero, respectively.

Interest rate Historically, the Company used interest rate swap and other derivative contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 Historically, the Company used derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in certain commodity 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.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2012, cost of sales includes losses of $0.2 million reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to commodity swap contracts.
As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, pretax net gains of approximately $0.2 million and $19.9 million, respectively, related to the Companys derivative instruments and hedging activities were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the twelve month period ending September 27, 2014, the Company expects to reclassify into earnings net gains of approximately $1.2 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 28, 2013. Such gains will be reclassified at the time that the underlying hedged transactions are realized. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, amounts recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive 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.
Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis Fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for the Companys assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, are shown below (in millions):

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, the Company adjusts these discount rates, if required, 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. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 nine months of 2013.
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. As of September 28, 2013, there were no significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As a result of the Guilford acquisition in 2012, Level 3 fair value estimates related to property, plant and equipment of $89.9 million and intangible assets of $56.0 million were recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. For further information on these fair value measurements, see Note 3, Acquisition, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. For further information on assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, see Note 2, Restructuring.

Cumulative Translation Adjustments
The FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parents Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which amends ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. This ASU clarifies the accounting for cumulative translation adjustments when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a foreign subsidiary. The provisions of this update are effective as of January 1, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update.
Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes. This ASU requires that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this update are effective as of January 1, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update.

LEAR CORPORATION
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
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 seating and electrical distribution systems and related components to virtually every major automotive manufacturer in the world.
Our seating business consists of the design, engineering, just-in-time assembly and delivery of complete seat systems, as well as the manufacture of all major seat components, including seat structures and mechanisms, seat covers, seat foam and headrests. Our electrical distribution business consists of the design, engineering and manufacturing of systems that route electrical signals and manage electrical power within a vehicle for both traditional powertrain vehicles, as well as high-power for hybrid and electric vehicles. Key components of electrical distribution systems include: wiring harnesses, terminals and connectors, junction boxes, electronic control modules and wireless control devices, such as key fobs.
Our strategy is to achieve profitable growth balancing risk and returns. Key elements of this strategy include profitable growth and diversification of our sales globally and by customer and vehicle type, the continued expansion of our component capability in emerging and low-cost markets and the pursuit of complementary acquisitions to strengthen and grow both of our core businesses, while maintaining a strong balance sheet with investment grade credit metrics and returning excess cash to shareholders.
Industry Overview
Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive vehicles and our content per vehicle. Automotive sales and production can be affected by general economic or industry conditions, the age of the vehicle fleet and related scrappage rates, labor relations issues, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements, the availability and cost of credit, the availability of critical components needed to complete the production of vehicles, restructuring actions of our customers and suppliers 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 our 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 adversely affect 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 the first nine months of 2013, global industry production volumes increased 2% from a year ago levels to 61.1 million units. Although North American industry production increased 5% from a year ago levels to 12.2 million units, business conditions in Europe remain challenging and European industry production decreased 1% from a year ago levels to 14.7 million units.
Sales in Europe (including Africa) and North America each accounted for approximately 38% (or 76% combined) of our net sales in the first nine months of 2013. 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 typically 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 product design enhancement and supply chain management, as well as manufacturing efficiencies and restructuring actions. 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 and improve our business structure by investing in vertical integration opportunities.
Our material cost as a percentage of net sales was 67.1% in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to 67.8% in 2012. Raw material, energy and commodity costs can be volatile. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy and commodity costs, 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. In addition, the availability of raw materials, commodities and product components fluctuates from time to time due to factors outside of our control. If these costs increase or availability is restricted, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future.

LEAR CORPORATION
See Forward-Looking Statements below and Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Financial Measures
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus primarily on earnings, operating margins, 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 primarily 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 19 joint ventures with operations in Asia, as well as 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 globally, as well as expanding our component manufacturing capacity in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Mexico and South America. Furthermore, we have expanded our low-cost engineering capabilities in 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 impacted by adverse automotive industry conditions, changes to our customers payment terms and the financial results of our suppliers, 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 the first nine months of 2013, we incurred pretax restructuring costs of approximately $43 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $4 million. Any future restructuring actions will depend upon market conditions, customer actions and other factors.
For further information, see Note 2, Restructuring, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Financing Transactions
Senior Notes
In January 2013, we issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2023. For further information, see Liquidity and Capital Resources Capitalization Senior Notes and Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
In March 2013, we paid $72 million to redeem 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of our outstanding senior notes due 2018 and 2020. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a loss of approximately $4 million on the partial extinguishment of debt.
Revolving Credit Facility
In January 2013, we amended and restated our revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity from $500 million to $1.0 billion, extend the maturity date to January 2018 and reduce interest rates payable on outstanding borrowings under the facility. For further information, see Liquidity and Capital Resources Capitalization Revolving Credit Facility and Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividend
Since the first quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors has authorized $2.25 billion in share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program. On April 25, 2013, we entered into an accelerated stock repurchase (ASR) agreement to repurchase $800 million of our common stock. After the completion of the ASR program, we will have completed $1.5 billion of share repurchases and have a remaining repurchase authorization of $750 million under our common stock share repurchase program.
In February, May and August 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share of common stock.

LEAR CORPORATION
For further information regarding our common stock share repurchase program, the ASR program and our quarterly dividends, 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
We have incurred losses and incremental costs related to the destruction of assets caused by a fire at one of our European production facilities in the third quarter of 2011. During 2012, we reached a settlement for the recovery of such costs under applicable insurance policies. In the nine months ended September 28, 2013, we recognized losses and incremental costs of $7 million. In the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, we recognized losses and incremental costs of $10 million and $27 million, respectively, and loss recoveries and insurance gains of $13 million and $38 million, respectively. For further information, see Note 13, Legal and Other Contingencies Insurance Recoveries, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
In the nine months ended September 28, 2013, we incurred costs of $3 million related to a proxy contest. For further information, see Note 12, Comprehensive Income and Equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
In the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, we recognized net tax benefits of $6 million and $23 million, respectively, primarily related to net changes in valuation allowances with respect to the deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. In the nine months ended September 28, 2013, we also recognized net tax benefits of $3 million related to the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit.
In the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, we recognized income of $2 million and $17 million, respectively, related to our portion of an affiliates reversal of a valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.
As discussed above, our results for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, reflect the following items (in millions):

Three Months Ended September 28, 2013 vs. Three Months Ended September 29, 2012
Net sales in the third quarter of 2013 were $3.9 billion, as compared to $3.5 billion in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $379 million or 10.7%. New business and improved production volumes on key Lear platforms positively impacted net sales by $237 million and $89 million, respectively.
Cost of sales in the third quarter of 2013 was $3.6 billion, as compared to $3.2 billion in the third quarter of 2012. The increase is primarily due to the impact of new business and improved production volumes on key Lear platforms, as described in the preceding paragraph.
Gross profit and gross margin were $330 million and 8.4%, respectively, in the quarter ended September 28, 2013, as compared to $291 million and 8.2%, respectively, in the quarter ended September 29, 2012. Gross profit and gross margin were positively impacted by $43 million as a result of new business and improved production volumes on key Lear platforms. Selling price reductions and the impact of the changeover of key Lear platforms of $58 million negatively impacted both gross profit and gross margin and were offset by the impact of favorable operating performance and the benefit of operational restructuring actions of $54 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were $129 million in the three months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to $113 million in the three months ended September 29, 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7 million due to higher engineering and development costs to support new business and restructuring costs. Higher compensation related costs, together with infrastructure costs to support the growth of our business in emerging markets, also contributed to the increase between quarters. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 3.3% in the third quarter of 2013, as compared to 3.2% in the third quarter of 2012.
Amortization of intangible assets was $9 million in the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $8 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Interest expense was $18 million in the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $14 million in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting interest of $6 million related to our senior notes due 2023 issued in January 2013, offset by $2 million related to the partial redemption of our senior notes due 2018 and 2020.
Other expense, net, which includes 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 extinguishment of debt, gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets and other miscellaneous income and expense, was $17 million in the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $2 million in the third quarter of 2012. In the third quarter of 2012, we recognized a gain of $7 million related to insurance recoveries and a loss of $4 million related to the redemption of 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of our outstanding senior notes. In the third quarter of 2013, other expense, net was negatively impacted by an increase of $8 million in foreign exchange losses.

LEAR CORPORATION
The provision for income taxes was $51 million for the third quarter of 2013, representing an effective tax rate of 32.3% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $159 million, as compared to $29 million for the third quarter of 2012, representing an effective tax rate of 19.0% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $154 million.
The effective tax rate increased in 2013 as compared to 2012 primarily due to the reversal of a substantial portion of our U.S. valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2012. As a result of the reversal, the provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2013 includes U.S. federal income tax expense at a rate of 35% with respect to our earnings in the United States. The provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2012 includes no U.S. federal income tax expense with respect to our earnings in the United States.
In the third quarter of 2013, we recognized net tax benefits of $6 million primarily related to net changes in valuation allowances with respect to the deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. In the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, the provision for income taxes was impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. 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 third quarters of 2013 and 2012 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.
Our current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. Our future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, we consider all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, our decisions regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods.
Equity in net income of affiliates was $9 million in the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $3 million in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting the improved performance of our equity affiliates.
Net income attributable to Lear in the third quarter of 2013 was $113 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, as compared to $121 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012. Net income decreased for the reasons described in the preceding paragraphs, and diluted net income per share increased as a result of the decrease in the average shares outstanding during the quarter.
Reportable Operating Segments
We have two reportable operating segments: seating, which includes seats and related components, such as seat structures and mechanisms, seat covers, seat foam and headrests, and electrical power management systems (EPMS), which includes electrical distribution systems for both traditional powertrain vehicles, as well as high-power for hybrid and electric vehicles. Key components of electrical distribution systems include wiring harnesses, terminals and connectors, junction boxes, electronic control modules and wireless control devices, such as key fobs. 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, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate and regional headquarters costs include various support functions, such as information technology, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources. Financial measures regarding each segments pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense and other expense (segment earnings) and segment earnings divided by net sales (margin) are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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

Nine Months Ended September 28, 2013 vs. Nine Months Ended September 29, 2012
Net sales in the first nine months of 2013 were $12.0 billion, as compared to $10.8 billion in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $1.1 billion or 10.4%. New business, improved production volumes on key Lear platforms and the acquisition of Guilford Mills (Guilford) positively impacted net sales by $575 million, $412 million and $141 million, respectively.
Cost of sales in the first nine months of 2013 was $11.0 billion, as compared to $9.9 billion in the first nine months of 2012. The increase is primarily due to the impact of new business, improved production volumes on key Lear platforms and the acquisition of Guilford, as described in the preceding paragraph.
Gross profit and gross margin were $980 million and 8.2%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to $916 million and 8.4%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 29, 2012. Gross profit and gross margin were positively impacted by $123 million as a result of improved production volumes on key Lear platforms and new business. Selling price reductions and the impact of the changeover of key Lear platforms of $173 million negatively impacted both gross profit and gross margin and were partially offset by the impact of favorable operating performance and the benefit of operational restructuring actions of $121 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were $386 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to $347 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $32 million due to higher restructuring and engineering and development costs to support new business and the acquisition of Guilford in the second quarter of 2012. Higher compensation related costs, together with infrastructure costs to support the growth of our business in emerging markets, also contributed to the increase between periods. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 3.2% in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.
Amortization of intangible assets was $26 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $23 million in the first nine months of 2012, reflecting the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of Guilford.
Interest expense was $52 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $40 million in the first nine months of 2012, reflecting interest of $17 million related to our senior notes due 2023 issued in January 2013, offset by $7 million related to the partial redemption of our senior notes due 2018 and 2020.
Other expense, net, which includes 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 extinguishment of debt, gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets and other miscellaneous income and expense, was $38 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $12 million in the first nine months of 2012. In 2013, other expense, net was negatively impacted by an increase of $6 million in foreign exchange losses. In 2012, we recognized gains of $12 million related to our insurance recoveries.
The provision for income taxes was $130 million for the first nine months of 2013, representing an effective tax rate of 27.2% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $479 million, as compared to $100 million for the first nine months of 2012, representing an effective tax rate of 20.3% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $494 million.
The effective tax rate increased in 2013 as compared to 2012 primarily due to the reversal of a substantial portion of our U.S. valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2012. As a result of the reversal, the provision for income taxes in the first nine months of 2013 includes U.S. federal income tax expense at a rate of 35% with respect to our earnings in the United States. The provision for income taxes in the first nine months of 2012 includes no U.S. federal income tax expense with respect to our earnings in the United States.
In the first nine months of 2013, we recognized net tax benefits of $26 million primarily related to net changes in valuation allowances with respect to the deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries and the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which was signed into law on January 2, 2013. In the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the provision for income taxes was impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. 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 nine months of 2013 and 2012 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.

Segment earnings related to our other category were ($178) million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to ($154) million in the first nine months of 2012, reflecting higher compensation related costs and infrastructure costs to support the growth of our business in emerging markets.
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. In addition, we expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock (see Capitalization Common Stock Share Repurchase Program, below). 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. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents of $672 million and $918 million, respectively, were held in foreign subsidiaries and can be repatriated, primarily through the repayment of intercompany loans, without creating additional income tax expense. 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 Adequacy of Liquidity Sources, below and Note 8, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $430 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $361 million in the first nine months of 2012. The net change in recoverable customer engineering, development and tooling was a use of cash of $17 million and $67 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively, resulting in an incremental increase in operating cash flow of $49 million between periods, primarily due to cash received related to previously capitalized amounts.
In the first nine months of 2013, increases in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable resulted in a use of cash of $567 million, a use of cash of $122 million and a source of cash of $320 million, respectively, reflecting the normal seasonality of our working capital. Changes in accrued liabilities and other resulted in a source of cash of $211 million, primarily reflecting the timing of payment of accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $281 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $536 million in the first nine months of 2012. In 2013, we sold our ownership interest in an equity affiliate for $50 million. In 2012, we acquired Guilford for $244 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, capital spending increased $29 million between periods. Capital spending in 2013 is estimated at approximately $450 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was $674 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $305 million in the first nine months of 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, we issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2023 and paid $72 million to redeem a portion of our outstanding senior notes due 2018 and 2020. In addition, in the first nine months of 2013, we paid an aggregate of $1 billion to repurchase our common stock, including $200 million of open market repurchases and $800 million of repurchases through an ASR program. In the first nine months of 2012, we repurchased $173 million of our common stock and paid $72 million to redeem a portion of our outstanding senior notes due 2018 and 2020. For further information regarding our share repurchase program, see Capitalization Common Stock Share Repurchase Program, below and Note 12, Comprehensive Income and Equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Capitalization
From time to time, we utilize uncommitted lines of credit to fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements at certain of our foreign subsidiaries, in addition to cash provided by operating activities. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no short-term debt balances outstanding. The availability of uncommitted lines of credit may be affected by our financial performance, credit ratings and other factors.
Senior Notes
As of September 28, 2013, our long-term debt consists of $280 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2018 at a stated coupon rate of 7.875% (the 2018 Notes), $280 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2020 at a stated coupon rate of 8.125% (the 2020 Notes) and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2023 at a stated coupon rate of 4.75% (the 2023 Notes and together with the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes, the Notes).
The 2023 Notes were issued on January 17, 2013. The net proceeds from the offering of $493 million, together with our existing sources of liquidity, have been or will be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the redemption of $70 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2018 Notes and our 2020 Notes (see below), investments in additional component capabilities and emerging markets and share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program (see below).
On March 26, 2013, we redeemed 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of each of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In connection with this transaction, we paid $72 million and recognized a loss of approximately $4 million on the partial extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2013.
There are no scheduled cash interest payments on the Notes in the last three months of 2013. As of September 28, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indentures governing the Notes.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations. Our obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain 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 7, Long-Term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Revolving Credit Facility
On January 30, 2013, we amended and restated our revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity from $500 million to $1.0 billion, extend the maturity date to January 30, 2018, and reduce interest rates payable on outstanding borrowings under the facility. The revolving credit facility permits borrowings for general corporate and working capital purposes and the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 28, 2013, 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 7, Long-Term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees and Commitments
As of December 31, 2012, we guaranteed 49% of certain of the debt of one of our unconsolidated affiliates, Tacle Seating USA, LLC. As of September 28, 2013, the related debt had been repaid by the affiliate, and we were released from our guarantee.
Common Stock Share Repurchase Program
On April 25, 2013, we entered into an ASR agreement to repurchase $800 million of our common stock. In the second quarter of 2013, we paid $800 million to a financial institution, using cash on-hand, and received an initial delivery of 11,862,836 shares. This initial share delivery represented 80% of the ASR transactions value at the then-current price of $53.95 per share. The ultimate number of shares to be repurchased and the final price paid per share under the ASR transaction will be based on the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the term of the ASR agreement, less an agreed upon discount. The ASR transaction is expected to be completed no later than March 2014. In the first nine months of 2013, we paid $1.0 billion, in aggregate, for repurchases of our outstanding common stock (15,533,758 shares repurchased, including the initial delivery of shares under the ASR transaction, at an average purchase price of $54.08, excluding commissions and fees).

LEAR CORPORATION
After completion of the ASR transaction, we will have a remaining repurchase authorization of $750 million under our common stock share repurchase program. We may implement these share repurchases through a variety of methods, including open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. 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 the indenture governing our 2018 Notes and our 2020 Notes place certain limitations on our ability to repurchase our common shares. See Forward-Looking Statements.

Dividends
A summary of 2013 dividend declarations is shown below:
Dividend Amount |
Declaration Date |
Record Date | Payment Date | |||
$0.17 | February 7, 2013 | March 1, 2013 | March 20, 2013 | |||
$0.17 | May 16, 2013 | June 7, 2013 | June 26, 2013 | |||
$0.17 | August 15, 2013 | September 6, 2013 | September 25, 2013 |
We currently expect to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future, although the timing and amount of such payments are 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 Board of Directors may consider at its discretion. In addition, our amended and restated credit facility and the indenture governing our 2018 Notes and our 2020 Notes place certain limitations on the payment of cash dividends.
Adequacy of Liquidity Sources
As of September 28, 2013, we had $884 million of cash and cash equivalents on-hand and $1 billion in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. Together with cash provided by operating activities, we believe that this will enable us to meet our liquidity needs to satisfy ordinary course business obligations. In addition, we expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock (see Common Stock Share Repurchase Program, above). Our future financial results and our ability to continue to meet our liquidity needs are 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. For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties affecting our cash flows from operations and our 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, 2012.
Market Risk Sensitivity
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We manage a portion of these risks through the use of derivative financial instruments in accordance with our policies. 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, the Chinese renminbi, Thai baht and the Canadian dollar. We have performed a quantitative analysis of our overall currency rate exposure as of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012. As of September 28, 2013, the potential adverse earnings impact 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 ($26) 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 $18 million. As of December 31, 2012, the potential adverse earnings impact 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 ($26) 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 $5 million.
As of September 28, 2013, foreign exchange contracts representing $886 million of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than 18 months. As of September 28, 2013, the fair value of these contracts was approximately $2 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 $24 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 $22 million change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts. As of December 31, 2012, foreign exchange contracts representing $860 million of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than 17 months. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of these contracts was approximately $20 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 $12 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 $30 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.
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 (translational exposure). In 2012, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 80% 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 our translational exposure.
Interest Rates
Historically, we have used interest rate swap and other derivative contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 can be volatile. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy and commodity costs, 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. If these costs increase, it 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, 2012.
We have commodity price risk with respect to purchases of certain raw materials, including steel, copper, diesel fuel, chemicals, resins and leather. 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 structures and mechanisms and mechanical components. Therefore, our exposure to steel prices is primarily indirect, through these purchased components. Approximately 85% of our copper purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers.
Historically, we used commodity swap and other derivative contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in copper prices. As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 September 28, 2013, we had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes and other matters, of $15 million. In addition, as of September 28, 2013, we had recorded reserves for product liability claims and environmental matters of $27 million and $5 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, 2012. 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 2, 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, 2012. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the first nine months of 2013.

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 President and Chief Executive Officer 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) 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 President and Chief Executive Officer 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 September 28, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
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. 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, 2012. For a description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 13, Legal and Other Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
