VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation
Description of Business: Visteon Corporation (the “Company” or “Visteon”) is a supplier of climate, interiors and electronics systems, modules and components to global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan, Visteon has a workforce of approximately 23,000 employees and a network of manufacturing operations, technical centers and joint ventures in every major geographic region of the world.
Interim Financial Statements: The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Management believes that such estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable and appropriate. However, due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual results may differ from those provided in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and over which the Company exercises control. Investments in affiliates of greater than 20% and for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise control are accounted for using the equity method.
Discontinued Operations: On August 1, 2012, the Company completed the sale of its Lighting operations for proceeds of approximately $70 million. The Company recorded impairment charges principally related to property and equipment of approximately $11 million and $13 million in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012. The results of operations of the Lighting business have been classified to (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012. Discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents amounts designated for uses other than current operations and includes $10 million collateral for the Letter of Credit Facility with US Bank National Association, and $15 million related to cash collateral for other corporate purposes at June 30, 2013.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-2, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". This ASU requires companies to present, either in a note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of the amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification.
4
This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted these new disclosure requirements with effect from January 1, 2013.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-5, "Foreign Currency Matters". The amendments in ASU 2013-5 resolve the diversity in practice about whether current literature applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part of all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2013-5 resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2013-5 and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. Non-Consolidated Affiliates
The Company recorded equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates of $42 million and $103 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $86 million and $145 million, respectively. Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 includes $63 million representing Visteon's equity interest in a non-cash gain recorded by Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. ("Yanfeng"), a 50% owned non-consolidated affiliate of the Company. The gain resulted from the excess of fair value over carrying value of a former equity investee of Yanfeng that was consolidated effective June 1, 2012 pursuant to changes in the underlying joint venture agreement. The fair value was based on estimates of enterprise value determined using certain financial analysis methodologies including the discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value measurement is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company had $790 million and $756 million of equity in the net assets of non-consolidated affiliates at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The following table presents summarized financial data for the Company’s non-consolidated affiliates, including Yanfeng, which is considered a significant non-consolidated affiliate. Summarized financial information reflecting 100% of the operating results of the Company's equity investees are provided below:

$ | 4,512 | $ | 2,664 | $ | 651 | $ | 394 | $ | 178 | $ | 301 |
Yanfeng sales and gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 include approximately $527 million and $91 million, respectively, related to activity of a former equity investee that was consolidated effective June 1, 2012. Yanfeng sales and gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 include approximately $1,283 million and $222 million, respectively, related to activity of the above-mentioned former equity investee. Yanfeng net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 includes approximately $130 million associated with a non-cash gain on the consolidation of above-mentioned former equity investee.
The Company monitors its investments in the net assets of non-consolidated affiliates for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that such a decline has occurred, an impairment loss is recorded, which is measured as the difference between carrying value and fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company determined that an other-than-temporary decline in the value of its investment in Visteon TYC Corporation ("VTYC") had occurred
5
based on anticipated sale transaction proceeds and recorded an impairment of $5 million. In January 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 50% equity interest in VTYC for proceeds of approximately $17 million and no subsequent gain or loss was recorded on the sale.

Restructuring Activities
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $3 million and $23 million, respectively, of restructuring expenses under a previously announced $100 million program designed to reduce fixed costs and to improve operational efficiency. Costs recorded during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 were related to employee severance and termination benefits for approximately 40 and 180 employees, respectively.
During 2012, the Company recorded $41 million of restructuring expenses, including $36 million for employee severance and termination benefits and $5 million of other exit costs in connection with the closure of the Cadiz Electronics operation in El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. Additional employee severance and termination benefits of approximately $4 million were recorded during 2012 including $3 million associated with the separation of approximately 250 employees at a South American Interiors facility and $1 million associated with 40 voluntary employee separations associated with a Climate restructuring action announced in the fourth quarter of 2011.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, restructuring liabilities of $35 million and $39 million, respectively, are classified as other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The following is a summary of the Company's restructuring reserves and related activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

June 30, 2013 | $ | 31 | $ | 2 | $ | — | $ | 2 | $ | 35 |
The Company anticipates that the activities associated with these reserves will be substantially completed by the end of 2013. Utilization is principally related to payments for severance and other employee termination benefits. Given the economically-sensitive and highly competitive nature of the automotive industry, the Company continues to closely monitor current market factors and industry trends taking action as necessary, including but not limited to, additional restructuring actions. However, there can be no assurance that any such actions will be sufficient to fully offset the impact of adverse factors on the Company or its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Loss on Asset Contribution
In connection with agreements reached with the labor union and the Spanish government for the closure of the Cadiz Electronics operation, the Company transfered land, building and machinery with a net book value of approximately $14 million to the Spanish government for the benefit of the former Cadiz Electronics employees and the El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain community.
Transformation Activities
Business transformation costs of $4 million and $20 million were incurred during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 respectively, related to financial and advisory fees associated with continued execution of the Company's comprehensive value creation plan, including the following activities.
• | Climate consolidation - During the first quarter of 2013, Halla Climate Control Corporation ("Halla") purchased certain subsidiaries and intellectual property of Visteon's global climate business for approximately $410 million. With effect from February 1, 2013, this combined climate business has been operating under the name of Halla Visteon Climate Control ("HVCC"). HVCC is majority-owned by Visteon and headquartered in South Korea. |
• | Interiors strategy - The Company continues to explore alternatives for its Interiors business including, but not limited to, divestiture, partnership or alliance. While the Company views Interiors as a non-core business, it continues to make commitments to this business and intends to divest in the future only under acceptable terms and conditions. In connection with the preparation of the June 30, 2013 financial statements, the Company determined that an indicator of impairment existed in relation to the net assets of its Interiors business, which approximated $180 million as of June 30, 2013. Accordingly, the Company performed a recoverability test utilizing a probability weighted analysis of cash flows associated with continuing to run and operate the Interiors business and estimated cash flows associated with the potential sale of the Interiors business. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that the assets were not recoverable. However, no impairment was recorded as of June 30, 2013 as the fair value of the underlying assets were determined to be in excess of the respective carrying value. To the extent that a sale transaction becomes more likely to occur in future periods an impairment charge may be required and such charge could be material. As of June 30, 2013 the Company did not meet the specific criteria necessary for the Interiors assets to be considered held for sale. |
• | Electronics optimization - The Company continued to explore opportunities to optimize the size and scale of its Electronics business with a specific focus on cockpit electronic products. |
• | Cost reduction program - In November 2012 the Company announced a $100 million restructuring program designed to reduce fixed costs and to improve operational efficiency by addressing certain under-performing operations. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an additional $3 million associated with this program for total inception to date expense under the program of $58 million. The Company anticipates recording additional restructuring charges related to this program in future periods as underlying plans are finalized. |
Gain on Sale of Equity Interest
In June 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 20% equity interest in Dongfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. ("Dongfeng") for proceeds of approximately $20 million. Dongfeng is an interiors joint venture based in China with 2012 revenue of $190 million. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $5 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company recorded amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets of $10 million and $21 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013. The Company estimates amortization expense to be approximately $42 million for the year ending December 31, 2013. Goodwill and trade names, substantially all of which relate to the Company's Climate reporting unit, are not amortized but are assessed for impairment annually, or earlier when events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that such assets have been impaired. The Company performs its annual impairment testing as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year. No impairment was identified during the periods presented.
NOTE 7. Debt
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had total debt outstanding of $799 million, of which $129 million and $670 million was classified as short-term debt and long-term debt, respectively. The Company’s debt consists of the following:

During the first quarter of 2013, Halla Visteon Climate Control ("HVCC") entered into two unsecured bilateral term loan credit agreements with aggregate available borrowings of approximately $195 million, and as of June 30, 2013, the USD equivalent of these agreements was $187 million. Both credit agreements mature in May 2016 and are subject to financial covenants requiring total debt to EBITDA of not greater than 3.2x and a net interest coverage test of more than 3x. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at June 30, 2013.
Other short and long-term debt is primarily related to the Company’s non-U.S. operations and are payable in various currencies. As of June 30, 2013 the Company had international affiliate debt outstanding of $166 million with $129 million and $37 million classified in short-term and long-term debt, respectively. Approximately $139 million of the affiliate debt is related to HVCC of which $108 million and $31 million are classified in short-term and long-term debt, respectively. Short-term affiliate debt also includes an arrangement through a subsidiary in France to sell accounts receivable with recourse on an uncommitted basis. The amount of financing available is dependent on the amount of receivables less customary reserves. At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings under this facility of $20 million with $61 million of receivables pledged as security, which are recorded as Other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding borrowings under this facility of $15 million and $49 million of receivables pledged as security.
NOTE 8. Employee Retirement Benefits
Defined Contribution Plans
Most U.S. salaried employees and certain non-U.S. employees are eligible to participate in defined contribution plans by contributing a portion of their compensation, which is partially matched by the Company. Effective January 1, 2012, matching contributions for the U.S. defined contribution plan are 100% on the first 6% of pay contributed. The expense related to matching contributions was approximately $2 million and $3 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The expense related to matching contributions was approximately $6 million and $8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, cash contributions to the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. retirement plans were $2 million and $5 million, respectively. The Company anticipates additional 2013 cash contributions to its U.S. and non-U.S. retirement plans of $1 million and $25 million, respectively. The Company’s expected 2013 contributions may be revised.
NOTE 9. Income Taxes
During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 the Company recorded provision for income taxes of $39 million and $21 million, respectively. The Company's provision for income taxes includes income tax expense in countries where the Company is profitable, withholding taxes, changes in uncertain tax benefits, and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income. Pre-tax losses in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are maintained and no income tax benefits are recognized totaled $36 million and $68 million, respectively, for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company provides for U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the projected future repatriations of the earnings from its non-U.S. operations at each tier of the legal entity structure. During both the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized expense of $6 million, reflecting the Company's forecasts which contemplate numerous financial and operational considerations that impact future repatriations.
The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against income before income taxes, excluding equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the period. Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate calculations are performed for those countries where the Company's operations are profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax valuation allowances exist and are maintained. The Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain other non-recurring tax items, including changes in judgments about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.
The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will continue to cause variability in the Company's quarterly and annual effective tax rates. Full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them. In this regard, it is reasonably possible that existing valuation allowances on approximately $11 million of deferred tax assets related to unutilized Korean foreign tax credit carryforwards could be eliminated during 2013 as the Company continues to monitor whether certain tax planning strategies that would require further corporate restructuring is ultimately prudent and feasible.
10
The amount of income tax expense or benefit allocated to continuing operations is generally determined without regard to the tax effects of other categories of income or loss, such as other comprehensive income. However, an exception to the general rule is provided when there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and net pre-tax income from other categories in the current year. In such instances, net pre-tax income from other categories must offset the current loss from operations, the tax benefit of such offset being reflected in continuing operations even when a valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets. In instances where a valuation allowance is established against current year operating losses, net pre-tax income from other sources, including other comprehensive income, is considered when determining whether sufficient future taxable income exists to realize the deferred tax assets.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world and the income tax returns of its subsidiaries in various tax jurisdictions are subject to periodic examination by respective tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse and/or favorable outcomes to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for tax adjustments that it believes are more likely than not to be realized as a result of any ongoing or future examination. Accounting estimates associated with uncertain tax positions require the Company to make judgments regarding the sustainability of each uncertain tax position based on its technical merits. If the Company determines it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits, the Company records the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These estimates are updated at each reporting date based on the facts, circumstances and information available. Due to the complexity of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company's current estimate of the liabilities recorded.
Gross unrecognized tax benefits were $80 million at June 30, 2013 and $117 million at December 31, 2012, of which approximately $30 million and $71 million, respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefit differs from that which would impact the effective tax rate due to uncertain tax positions embedded in other deferred tax attributes carrying a full valuation allowance. Since the uncertainty is expected to be resolved while a full valuation allowance is maintained, these uncertain tax positions should not impact the effective tax rate in current or future periods. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and related amounts accrued at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $21 million and $36 million, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2013, the IRS commenced the audit of the Company's U.S. tax returns for the 2010 and 2011 tax years. At this early stage in the audit, the Company is not aware of any proposed income tax adjustments that would have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate due to the valuation allowances maintained against the Company's U.S. tax attributes. During the first quarter of 2013, the tax authorities in Spain completed an income tax examination related to the tax years 2006 through 2009 and the Company reached an agreement regarding its transfer pricing methodology resulting in a cash settlement of $2 million. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company paid $2 million to settle other tax matters (primarily in Mexico). Other decreases in the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits that impact the effective tax rate total approximately $40 million and primarily relate to reevaluating prior year uncertain tax positions associated with the examination in Spain which further validated the transfer pricing methodologies to allocate income and expense among jurisdictions in Europe and the United States.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2008 or state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2002. Although it is not possible to predict the timing of the resolution of all ongoing tax audits with accuracy, it is reasonably possible that certain tax proceedings in Asia (including Korea) could conclude within the next twelve months and result in a significant increase or decrease in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

During 2012 Korean tax authorities commenced a review of the Company's Korean affiliates (including Halla) for tax years 2007 through 2012 and issued formal notice of assessments, including penalties, of approximately $25 million for alleged underpayment of withholding tax on dividends paid and other items, including certain management service fees charged by Visteon. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company's Korean affiliates have paid approximately $22 million to the Korean tax authorities, as required under Korean tax regulations, to pursue the appeals process. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will receive a favorable ruling when all of the available appeals have been exhausted. These appeal payments and contingent income tax refund claims associated with other jurisdictions total $30 million as of June 30, 2013 and are included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Share Repurchase Program
In July 2012, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock. In January 2013, the board of directors reauthorized the current $100 million and increased the repurchase amount an additional $200 million, bringing the total share repurchase authorization to $300 million. On March 5, 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $125 million and received an initial delivery of 1,713,502 shares of common stock. The value of those shares on the date of delivery was $100 million at $58.36 per share and is included in common stock held in treasury. On April 17, 2013, the program concluded and the Company received an additional 495,576 shares. The final settlement was based on a negotiated discount to the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock over the term of the share repurchase program agreement. As of June 30, 2013, $125 million remains authorized for repurchase over the next two years.
NOTE 11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company uses the two-class method in computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Visteon, after deducting undistributed income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding after deducting undistributed income allocated to participating securities. Performance based share units are considered contingently issuable shares, and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period and if the result would be dilutive.
The table below provides details underlying the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

NOTE 12. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are categorized, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
• | Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access. |
• | Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
• | Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The fair value of the Company's debt was approximately $819 million at June 30, 2013 and $600 million at December 31, 2012. Fair value estimates were based on quoted market prices or current rates for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Accordingly, the Company's debt is classified as Level 1, "Market Prices" and Level 2, “Other Observable Inputs” in the fair value hierarchy, respectively.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends and investments in subsidiaries. Where possible, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including forward and option contracts, to protect the Company’s cash flow from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed monthly and natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument.
The Company’s primary foreign currency exposures include the Euro, Korean Won, Czech Koruna, Hungarian Forint, Indian Rupee and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had forward contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $502 million and $554 million, respectively. Fair value estimates of these contracts are based on quoted market prices. A portion of these instruments has been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of Stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the ineffective portion recorded as Cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Foreign currency hedge instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under an income approach using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying and non-performance risk. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Accordingly, the Company's foreign currency instruments are classified as Level 2, “Other Observable Inputs” in the fair value hierarchy.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, including cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative contracts and accounts receivable, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. The Company’s counterparties for cash equivalents, marketable securities and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company’s requirement of high credit standing. The Company’s counterparties for derivative contracts are with investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives and is assessed on a net basis. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counterparty and through monitoring counterparty credit risks. The Company’s concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is not significant. With the exception of the customers below, the Company’s credit risk with any individual customer does not exceed ten percent of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Ford and affiliates | 26% | 19% | |

Management periodically performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral.
NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees and Commitments
The Company has guaranteed approximately $47 million of subsidiary lease payments under various arrangements generally spanning between one to ten years in duration, and $5 million for affiliate credit lines and other credit support agreements. In connection with a 2009 agreement with the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation ("PBGC"), the Company previously agreed to provide a guarantee of contingent pension obligations of up to $30 million. The guarantee expired on June 30, 2013.
Litigation and Claims
On March 29, 2012, the Korean Supreme Court ruled that fixed bonuses should be included for purposes of calculating the ordinary wage of applicable employees, which was contrary to previous legal precedent and the position of the Korean Ministry of Employment and Labor. The Company is evaluating the potential financial impact of this new court ruling, and is not able to determine at this time whether it will have a material impact on the results of operations and cash flows of its South Korean subsidiaries. In addition, on May 24, 2013, Halla Visteon Climate Control Union in Korea, representing 891 hourly employees of Halla Visteon Climate Control Corp., filed a legal petition with Seoul Southern District Court, claiming unpaid statutory benefits for the past three years based on the recent Supreme Court ruling. The Company is in the process of evaluating these claims but at this time is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter.
In February 2013, three putative class action complaints were filed in the Superior Courts of Justice in Ontario against the Company and several other global suppliers of automotive instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units alleging violations of Canadian laws related to competition. Plaintiffs purport to be direct and indirect purchasers of automotive instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units supplied by the Company and/or the other defendants during the relevant period. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants conspired to fix prices and allocate the market and customers for instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and/or electronic control units in North America resulting in plaintiffs paying supra-competitive prices for instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units or vehicles containing instrument panel clusters, heater control panels and electronic control units. The plaintiffs in these proceedings seek injunctive relief and recovery of an unspecified amount of damages, as well as investigative costs and costs relating to the proceedings. On June 18, 2013, the court ordered these proceedings discontinued as against the Company, on a without costs and without prejudice basis.
The Company's operations in Brazil are subject to highly complex labor, tax, customs and other laws. While the Company believes that it is in compliance with such laws, it is periodically engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws. As of June 30, 2013, the Company maintained accruals of approximately $6 million for claims aggregating approximately $149 million. The amounts accrued represent claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the Company's assessment of the claims and prior experience with similar matters.

Several current and former employees of Visteon Deutschland GmbH (“Visteon Germany”) filed civil actions against Visteon Germany in various German courts beginning in August 2007 seeking damages for the alleged violation of German pension laws that prohibit the use of pension benefit formulas that differ for salaried and hourly employees without adequate justification. Several of these actions have been joined as pilot cases. In a written decision issued in April 2010, the Federal Labor Court issued a declaratory judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the pilot cases. To date, more than 750 current and former employees have filed similar actions or have inquired as to or been granted additional benefits, and an additional 600 current and former employees are similarly situated. The Company's remaining reserve for unsettled cases is approximately $8 million and is based on the Company’s best estimate as to the number and value of the claims that will be made in connection with the pension plan. However, the Company’s estimate is subject to many uncertainties which could result in Visteon Germany incurring amounts in excess of the reserved amount of up to approximately $7 million.
On May 28, 2009, the Company filed voluntary petitions in the Court seeking reorganization relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and continued to operate as debtors-in-possession until emergence on October 1, 2010. Substantially all pre-petition liabilities and claims relating to rejected executory contracts and unexpired leases have been settled under the plan of reorganization, however, the ultimate amounts to be paid in settlement of each those claims will continue to be subject to the uncertain outcome of litigation, negotiations and Bankruptcy Court decisions for a period of time after the emergence date.
In December of 2009, the Court granted the Debtors' motion in part authorizing them to terminate or amend certain other postretirement employee benefits, including health care and life insurance. On December 29, 2009, the IUE-CWA, the Industrial Division of the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, CLC, filed a notice of appeal of the Court's order with the District Court. By order dated March 31, 2010, the District Court affirmed the Court's order in all respects. On April 1, 2010, the IUE filed a notice of appeal. On July 13, 2010, the Circuit Court reversed the order of the District Court as to the IUE-CWA and directed the District Court to, among other things, direct the Court to order the Company to take whatever action is necessary to immediately restore terminated or modified benefits to their pre-termination/modification levels. On July 27, 2010, the Company filed a Petition for Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc requesting that the Circuit Court review the panel’s decision, which was denied. By orders dated August 30, 2010, the Court ruled that the Company should restore certain other postretirement employee benefits to the appellant-retirees and also to salaried retirees and certain retirees of the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”). On September 1, 2010, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the District Court of the Court's decision to include non-appealing retirees, and on September 15, 2010 the UAW filed a Notice of Cross-Appeal. The appeals process includes mandatory mediation of the dispute. The Company subsequently reached an agreement with the original appellants in late-September 2010, which resulted in the Company not restoring other postretirement employee benefits of such retirees. On September 30, 2010, the UAW filed a complaint, which it amended on October 1, 2010, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment to prohibit the Company from terminating certain other postretirement employee benefits for UAW retirees after the Effective Date. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the UAW's complaint and a motion to transfer the case to the District of Delaware, which motions are pending. As of January 11, 2013, the parties agreed to a settlement term sheet. The parties are currently working towards a final settlement agreement and preliminary approval of the settlement by the court. As of June 30, 2013, the Company maintains an accrual for claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the pending settlement.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to the requirements of federal, state, local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations and ordinances. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge and waste management. The Company is also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at properties it presently owns or operates and at third-party disposal or treatment facilities to which these sites send or arranged to send hazardous waste. The Company is aware of contamination at some of its properties. These sites are in various stages of investigation and cleanup. The Company currently is, has been, and in the future may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures.
Costs related to environmental assessments and remediation efforts at operating facilities, previously owned or operated facilities, or other waste site locations are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are recorded at undiscounted amounts, based on experience and assessments, and are regularly evaluated. The liabilities are recorded in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2013, the Company had recorded a reserve of approximately $1 million for environmental matters. However, estimating liabilities for environmental investigation and cleanup is complex and dependent upon a number of factors beyond the Company’s control and which may change dramatically. Accordingly, although the Company believes its reserve is adequate based on current information, the Company cannot provide any assurance that its ultimate environmental investigation and cleanup costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current reserve.
18
Product Warranty and Recall
Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts that will ultimately be required to settle such items. The Company’s estimates are developed with support from its sales, engineering, quality and legal functions and include due consideration of contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims and related information, production changes, industry and regulatory developments and various other considerations. 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 or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers. The components of changes in the Company's accruals for warranty and recall claims for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are provided below.

Other Contingent Matters
Various legal actions, governmental investigations and proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company, including those arising out of alleged defects in the Company’s products; governmental regulations relating to safety; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; product warranties; product recalls; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing matters may involve compensatory, punitive or antitrust or other treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, or other relief which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The Company enters into agreements that contain indemnification provisions in the normal course of business for which the risks are considered nominal and impracticable to estimate.
Contingencies are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Reserves have been established by the Company for matters discussed in the immediately foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of amounts, that cannot be estimated at June 30, 2013 and that are in excess of established reserves. The Company does not reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, based on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible.
NOTE 14. Segment Information
Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or a decision-making group, in deciding the allocation of resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Making Group ("CODM Group"), comprised of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments primarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measure) and operating assets. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of asset impairments, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, net restructuring expenses and other reimbursable costs, stock-based compensation expense, certain employee charges and benefits, reorganization items and other non-operating gains and losses. Operating assets include inventories and property and equipment utilized in the manufacture of the segments’ products.
The Company’s operating structure is organized by global product lines, including: Climate, Electronics and Interiors. These global product lines have financial and operating responsibility over the design, development and manufacture of the Company’s product
19
portfolio. Global customer groups are responsible for the business development of the Company’s product portfolio and overall customer relationships. Certain functions such as procurement, information technology and other administrative activities are managed on a global basis with regional deployment.
The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
• | Climate — The Company’s Climate product line includes climate air handling modules, powertrain cooling modules, heat exchangers, compressors, fluid transport and engine induction systems. |
• | Electronics — The Company’s Electronics product line includes audio systems, infotainment systems, driver information systems, powertrain and feature control modules, climate controls, and electronic control modules. |
• | Interiors — The Company’s Interiors product line includes instrument panels, cockpit modules, door trim and floor consoles. |

During the first quarter of 2013 the Company changed its corporate cost allocation methodology for management reporting purposes. Accordingly, certain costs associated with the Company's corporate headquarters and other administrative support functions not allocated to the Company's operating segments and subject to the Company's previously announced corporate and administrative restructuring program have been separately reported for all periods presented as Corporate reconciling items.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies, and (iii) the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain debt covenants.

The Indenture and the form of Senior Notes provide, among other things, that the Senior Notes be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest is payable on the Senior Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year beginning on October 15, 2011 until maturity. Each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee debt under the Company’s revolving loan credit agreement guarantee the Senior Notes.
Guarantor Financial Statements
Certain subsidiaries of the Company (as listed below, collectively the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have guaranteed fully and unconditionally, on a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay principal and interest under the Company’s revolving loan credit agreement and the Senior Notes.

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $185 million or 9.8% of sales compared with $128 million or 7.6% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012, representing a year-over-year increase of $57 million. All of the Company's product groups contributed to the increase with Climate providing the most significant contribution of $40 million. Climate and Electronics gross margin benefited from cost efficiencies and fixed cost leverage on higher sales volumes during the second quarter of 2013, while Interiors gross margin benefited from higher design and development cost recoveries.
The Company reported net income attributable to Visteon of $65 million, or $1.29 per diluted share during the three months ended June 30, 2013 representing a decrease of $10 million compared to the same period of 2012. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 included $63 million of equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates from a non-cash gain at Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd ("Yanfeng") related to the excess of fair value over carrying value of a former equity investee that was consolidated June 1, 2012 pursuant to changes in the underlying joint venture agreement. The Company generated $158 million of cash from its operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 an improvement of $151 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, Visteon had global cash balances of $1,008 million, including $25 million of restricted cash. Total debt was $799 million as of June 30, 2013.
Strategic Transformation
In September 2012, the Company announced a comprehensive shareholder value creation plan. A summary of activities associated with the shareholder value creation plan is provided below.
• | Climate consolidation - During the first quarter of 2013, Halla Climate Control Corporation ("Halla") purchased certain subsidiaries and intellectual property of Visteon's global climate business for approximately $410 million. With effect from February 1, 2013, this combined climate business has been operating under the name of Halla Visteon Climate Control ("HVCC"). HVCC is majority-owned by Visteon and headquartered in South Korea. |
• | Interiors strategy - The Company continues to explore alternatives for its Interiors business including, but not limited to, divestiture, partnership or alliance. While the Company views Interiors as a non-core business, it continues to make commitments to this business and intends to divest in the future only under acceptable terms and conditions. In connection with the preparation of the June 30, 2013 financial statements, the Company determined that an indicator of impairment existed in relation to the net assets of its Interiors business, which approximated $180 million as of June 30, 2013. Accordingly, the Company performed a recoverability test utilizing a probability weighted analysis of cash flows associated with continuing to run and operate the Interiors business and estimated cash flows associated with the potential sale of the Interiors business. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that the assets were not recoverable. However, no impairment was recorded as of June 30, 2013 as the fair value of the underlying assets were determined to be in excess of the respective carrying value. To the extent that a sale transaction becomes more likely to occur in future periods an impairment charge may be required and such charge could be material. As of June 30, 2013 the Company did not meet the specific criteria necessary for the Interiors assets to be considered held for sale. |
• | Electronics optimization - The Company continues to explore opportunities to optimize the size and scale of its Electronics business with a specific focus on cockpit electronic products. |
29
• | Cost reduction program - The Company continues to implement a previously announced $100 million restructuring program designed to reduce fixed costs and to improve operational efficiency by addressing certain under-performing operations. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an additional $3 million associated with this program for total inception to date expense under the program of $58 million. The Company anticipates recording additional restructuring charges related to this program in future periods as underlying plans are finalized. |
Share Repurchase Program
In July 2012, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock. In January 2013, the board of directors reauthorized the current $100 million and increased the repurchase amount to an additional $200 million, bringing the total share repurchase authorization to $300 million. In March 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125 million. On April 17, 2013, the ASB program concluded with the Company having repurchased a total of 2,209,078 shares. As of June 30, 2013, $125 million remains authorized for repurchase over the next two years.

Sales
The Company's consolidated sales totaled $1,892 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, which represents an increase of $199 million when compared to the same period of 2012. Production volumes and favorable product mix increased sales by $214 million, primarily associated with Asia and North America markets, partially offset by declines in Europe. Favorable currency of $5 million, primarily attributable to the Korean Won, also contributed to the increase. Other reductions of $20 million were associated with customer pricing, net of design actions.
Gross Margin
The Company recorded gross margin of $185 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $128 million for the same period of 2012. The increase in gross margin of $57 million resulted from favorable production volume of $48 million and design and development recoveries of $11 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $91 million and $87 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase of $4 million was primarily due to compensation factors, HVCC transition costs and other professional fees, partially offset by improved efficiencies in fixed costs associated with the Company's restructuring programs and cost reduction initiatives.
Equity in Net Income of Non-consolidated Affiliates
Equity in the net income of non-consolidated affiliates totaled $42 million and $103 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease of $61 million. Equity earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2012 included $63 million representing Visteon's equity interest in a non-cash gain recorded by Yanfeng resulting from the excess of fair value over carrying value of a former equity investee that was consolidated effective June 1, 2012. The following table presents summarized financial data for the Company's non-consolidated affiliates.

In February 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 20% equity interest in Dongfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. for cash proceeds of approximately $20 million. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $5 million upon completion of the sale in the second quarter of 2013.
Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes of $39 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, represents a decrease of $3 million when compared with $42 million in the same period of 2012. The decrease in income tax expense reflects the non-recurrence of $6 million deferred tax expense related to Visteon's equity interest in a non-cash equity investment gain recorded by Yanfeng during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, partially offset by $3 million in other items primarily attributable to overall higher earnings in those countries where the Company is profitable, which includes the year-over-year impact of changes in the mix of earnings and tax rates between jurisdictions.
Discontinued Operations
On August 1, 2012, the Company completed the sale of its Lighting operations for proceeds of approximately $70 million. In connection with the Lighting Transaction, the results of operations of the Lighting business have been classified to “Income from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, and are detailed as follows:

Net Income
Net income attributable to Visteon was $65 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to net income of $75 million for the same period of 2012, representing a decrease of $10 million. Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) was $187 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of $40 million when compared with Adjusted
32
EBITDA of $147 million for the same period of 2012. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to favorable production volume including new business, primarily in Asia and North America, partially offset by price productivity in excess of material and manufacturing efficiencies.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of asset impairments, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, net restructuring expenses and other reimbursable costs, stock-based compensation expense, certain employee charges and benefits, reorganization items and other non-operating gains and losses. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies and (iii) because the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants. Adjusted EBITDA, as determined and measured by the Company should not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company recognized a gain of approximately $5 million upon completion of the sale in the second quarter of 2013.
Income Taxes
The Company 's provision for income taxes of $21 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, represents a decrease of $48 million when compared with $69 million in the same period of 2012. The decrease in income tax expense includes $57 million associated with changes in unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, primarily attributable to reevaluating transfer pricing related exposures in Europe and the United States due to audit closures in the first quarter of 2013, as well as the non-recurrence of $6 million deferred tax expense related to Visteon's equity interest in a non-cash equity investment gain recorded by Yanfeng. The decreases in income tax expense were partially offset by $16 million in other items primarily attributable to overall higher earnings in those countries where the Company is profitable, which includes the year-over-year impact of changes in the mix of earnings and tax rates between jurisdictions.
Discontinued Operations
On August 1, 2012, the Company completed the sale of its Lighting operations for proceeds of approximately $70 million.

Net Income
Net income attributable to Visteon was $134 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to a net income of $46 million for the same period of 2012, representing an increase of $88 million. Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) was $357 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of $67 million when compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $290 million for the same period of 2012. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to favorable production volume primarily in Asia and North America, partially offset by price productivity in excess of material and manufacturing efficiencies.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of asset impairments, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, net restructuring expenses and other reimbursable costs, stock-based compensation expense, certain employee charges and benefits, reorganization items and other non-operating gains and losses. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies and (iii) because the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants.

Liquidity
Overview
The Company's primary liquidity needs are related to the funding of general business requirements, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service, employee retirement benefits and restructuring actions. The Company funds its liquidity needs with cash flows from operating activities, a substantial portion of which is generated by the Company's international subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company utilizes a combination of cash repatriation strategies, including dividends, royalties, intercompany loan repayments and other distributions and advances to provide the funds necessary to meet obligations globally. The Company's ability to access funds from its subsidiaries using these repatriation strategies is subject to, among other things, customary regulatory and statutory requirements and contractual arrangements including joint venture agreements and local debt agreements. Additionally, such repatriation strategies may be adjusted or modified as the Company continues to, among other things, rationalize its business portfolio and cost structure. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had total cash balances of $1,008 million, including restricted cash of $25 million. Cash balances totaling $487 million were located in jurisdictions outside of the United States, of which, approximately $175 million is considered permanently reinvested for funding ongoing operations outside of the U.S. If such permanently reinvested funds are needed for operations in the U.S. or in other jurisdictions, the Company would be required to accrue additional tax expense, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.
The Company's ability to fund its liquidity needs is dependent on the level, variability and timing of its customers' worldwide vehicle production, which may be affected by many factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, specific industry conditions, financial markets, competitive factors and legislative and regulatory changes. During the first six months of 2013, the global automotive industry experienced modest growth fueled by demand from certain emerging markets, lower interest rates and improved credit availability, which, along with improvements in North America and Asia light vehicle sales and production, more than offset declines in Europe. The Company continues to closely monitor the macroeconomic environment and its impact on vehicle production volumes in relation to the Company's specific cash needs. Further, the Company's intra-year needs are impacted by seasonal effects in the industry, such as mid-year shutdowns, the subsequent ramp-up of new model production and the additional year-end shutdowns by primary customers.
To the extent that the Company's liquidity needs exceed cash provided by its operating activities, the Company would look to cash balances on hand; cash available through existing financing vehicles such as the Company's $130 million asset-based revolving loan credit facility (the "Revolver"); the sale of businesses or other assets as permitted under the Company's credit agreements; affiliate working capital lines of credit, of which the Company had approximately $260 million available as of June 30, 2013; other contractual arrangements; and potential additional capital through the debt or equity markets. Access to these markets is influenced by the Company's credit ratings. At June 30, 2013, the Company's corporate credit ratings were B1 and B+ by Moody's and S&P, respectively, both with a stable outlook.
On January 28, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to the Revolver to permit, among other things, the sale of certain Climate operations to Halla. In anticipation of the associated reduction in collateral, the Company also reduced its commitment amount under the Revolver from $175 million to $130 million. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings or letter of credit obligations under its revolving loan credit agreement with $114 million available for borrowing. Future borrowing base capacity under the facility may be impacted by the sale of assets. The total purchase price for the sale of certain Climate operations to Halla was $410 million. Halla paid $344 million in the first quarter of 2013 in conjunction with the first phase of the transaction, and all remaining proceeds were paid with the completion of the transaction in the second quarter of 2013.
In January 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 50% equity interest in Visteon TYC Corporation for proceeds of approximately $17 million, which were received in the first quarter of 2013. In June 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 20% equity interest in Dongfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. ("Dongfeng") for cash proceeds of approximately $20 million. Cash proceeds in excess of amounts deemed necessary for operating liquidity and ongoing business investment, if any, resulting from such potential future transactions would be evaluated for various uses including, but not limited to, addressing the Company's capital structure and pension liabilities.
Share Repurchase Program
In July 2012, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock. In January 2013, the board of directors reauthorized the current $100 million and increased the repurchase amount to an additional $200 million, bringing the total share repurchase authorization to $300 million. In March 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125 million. Under the ASB program, the Company paid the financial institution $125 million and received an
42
initial delivery of 1,713,502 shares of common stock. The value of those shares on the date of delivery was $100 million at $58.36 per share and is included in common stock held in treasury. On April 17, 2013, the ASB program concluded and the Company received an additional 495,576 shares. The final settlement was based on a negotiated discount to the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock over the term of the ASB agreement. As of June 30, 2013, $125 million remains authorized for repurchase over the next two years. The Company anticipates that additional repurchases of common stock, if any, would occur from time to time in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions depending on market and economic conditions, share price, trading volume, alternative uses of capital and other factors.
Other
During 2012 Korean tax authorities commenced a review of the Company's Korean affiliates (including Halla) for tax years 2007 through 2012 and issued formal notice of assessments, including penalties, of approximately $25 million for alleged underpayment of withholding tax on dividends paid and other items, including certain management service fees charged by Visteon. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company's Korean affiliates have paid approximately $22 million to the Korean tax authorities, as required under Korean tax regulations, to pursue the appeals process. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will receive a favorable ruling when all of the available appeals have been exhausted. These appeal payments and contingent income tax refund claims associated with other jurisdictions total $30 million as of June 30, 2013 and are included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash provided from operating activities increased $151 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013. Approximately $74 million of the increase is related to lower disbursements in Asia associated with favorable timing of contractual payment due dates. Lower restructuring payments of $33 million also contributed to the increase in cash from operating activities. Higher tooling recoveries of $21 million, changes in receivable terms for certain customers in Asia of $16 million, and lower incentive compensation payments of $13 million also contributed to the increase. These increases were partially offset by payment of $22 million to the Korean tax authorities and non-recurrence of customer accommodation agreement payments received during the first six months of 2012 of $19 million. The remaining increase was driven by higher collections as compared to payments related to increased profitability from favorable production volume and product mix.
Investing Activities
Cash used by investing activities decreased $51 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 to $75 million, compared with $24 million used by investing activities for the same period in 2012. Investing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 included approximately $114 million of capital spending partially offset by $39 million of proceeds from asset sales which included the sale of the Company's 50% equity interest in Visteon TYC Corporation and 20% equity interest in Dongfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. Investing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 included approximately $80 million of proceeds from asset sales, primarily related to the Company's corporate headquarters, which partially offset capital spending of $102 million.
Financing Activities
Cash provided from financing activities was $96 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013, compared with a use of $20 million for the same period in 2012 for an increase of $116 million. Cash provided from financing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 included $195 million of proceeds related to HVCC unsecured bilateral term loans and an increase in other affiliate debt primarily at HVCC, partially offset by $125 million in stock repurchases under an accelerated buyback program and $22 million of dividends paid to non-controlling interests. Financing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 included $22 million of dividends paid to non-controlling interests and reductions in affiliate debt primarily in the Asia Pacific region, partially offset by an increase in the amount drawn under a receivable factoring facility in France.
Debt and Capital Structure
Information related to the Company's debt is set forth in Note 7, "Debt", to the consolidated financial statements included herein under Item 1. For additional information, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for specific debt agreements and additional information related to covenants and restrictions.
43
In July 2012, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock. In January 2013, the board of directors reauthorized the current $100 million and increased the repurchase amount to an additional $200 million, bringing the total share repurchase authorization to $300 million. In March 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125 million. Under the ASB program, the Company paid the financial institution $125 million and received an initial delivery of 1,713,502 shares of common stock. The value of those shares on the date of delivery was $100 million at $58.36 per share and is included in common stock held in treasury. On April 17, 2013, the ASB program concluded and the Company received an additional 495,576 shares. The final settlement was based on a negotiated discount to the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock over the term of the ASB agreement. In the three month period ended June 30, 2013, no stock had been repurchased outside of the ASB program. As of June 30, 2013, $125 million remains authorized for repurchase over the next two years. The Company anticipates that additional repurchases of common stock, if any, would occur from time to time in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions depending on market and economic conditions, share price, trading volume, alternative uses of capital and other factors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has a $15 million Letter of Credit ("LOC") Facility with US Bank National Association, which expires on September 30, 2013. Under the terms of the LOC facility, the Company must maintain a collateral account with U.S. Bank equal to 103% of the aggregated stated amount of the LOCs (or 110% for non-U.S. currencies) with reimbursement for any draws. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $10 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility and secured by restricted cash. In addition, the Company had $19 million of issued letters of credit to support various customs arrangements and other obligations primarily at its local affiliates, of which $15 million are secured by cash collateral.
The Company has guaranteed approximately $47 million for subsidiary lease payments under various arrangements generally spanning between one to ten years in duration, and approximately $5 million for affiliate credit lines and other credit support agreements. During January 2009, the Company reached an agreement with the PBGC pursuant to U.S. federal pension law provisions that permit the agency to seek protection when a plant closing results in termination of employment for more than 20 percent of employees covered by a pension plan. In connection with this agreement, the Company previously agreed to provide a guarantee by certain affiliates of certain contingent pension obligations of up to $30 million. The guarantee expired on June 30, 2013. These guarantees have not, nor does the Company expect they are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses fair value measurements in the preparation of its financial statements, which utilize various inputs including those that can be readily observable, corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company utilizes market-based data and valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Additionally, the Company applies assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. The primary financial instruments that are recorded at fair value in the Company's financial statements are derivative instruments.
The Company's use of derivative instruments creates exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the derivative financial instruments. The Company limits this exposure by entering into agreements directly with a variety of major financial institutions with high credit standards and that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Fair value measurements related to derivative assets take into account the non-performance risk of the respective counterparty, while derivative liabilities take into account the non-performance risk of Visteon and its foreign affiliates. The hypothetical gain or loss from a 100 basis point change in non-performance risk would be less than $1 million for the fair value of foreign currency derivatives as of June 30, 2013.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The primary market risks to which the Company is exposed include changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through derivative instruments and various operating actions including fixed price contracts with suppliers and cost sourcing arrangements with customers. The Company's use of derivative instruments is limited to hedging activities and such instruments are not used for speculative or trading purposes, as per clearly defined risk management policies. Additionally, the Company's use of derivative instruments creates exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the derivative financial instruments. The Company limits this exposure by entering into agreements directly with a variety of major financial institutions with high credit standards and that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Additionally, the Company's ability to utilize derivatives to manage market risk is dependent on credit conditions and market conditions given the current economic environment.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company's net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends and investments in subsidiaries. Where possible, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risks. Forward and option contracts may be utilized to protect the Company's cash flow from adverse movements in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed periodically and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company's primary foreign exchange operating exposures include the Euro, Korean Won, Czech Koruna, Hungarian Forint and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies. As of June 30, 2013, the net fair value of foreign currency forward contracts was a liability of $10 million while at December 31, 2012 the net fair value of forward contracts was an asset of $21 million.
The hypothetical pre-tax gain or loss in fair value from a 10% favorable or adverse change in quoted currency exchange rates would be approximately $50 million and $55 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These estimated changes assume a parallel shift in all currency exchange rates and include the gain or loss on financial instruments used to hedge loans to subsidiaries. Because exchange rates typically do not all move in the same direction, the estimate may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on the net fair value of the Company's financial derivatives. It is also important to note that gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would generally be offset by gains and losses on the underlying exposures being hedged.
In addition to the transactional exposure described above, the Company's operating results are impacted by the translation of its foreign operating income into U.S. dollars. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate this exposure.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is subject to interest rate risk, principally in relation to fixed rate debt. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. However, as of June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding interest rate derivative instruments.
Approximately 60% and 85% of the Company's borrowings were effectively on a fixed rate basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company continues to evaluate its interest rate exposure and may use swaps or other derivative instruments again in the future.
Commodity Risk
The Company's exposures to market risk from changes in the price of production material are managed primarily through negotiations with suppliers and customers, although there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all such costs. The Company continues to evaluate derivatives available in the marketplace and may decide to utilize derivatives in the future to manage select commodity risks if an acceptable hedging instrument is identified for the Company's exposure level at that time, as well as the effectiveness of the financial hedge among other factors.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in periodic reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of June 30, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

(2) On July 30, 2012, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock. On January 11, 2013, the board of directors reauthorized the current $100 million and increased the repurchase amount to an additional $200 million over the next two years. In March 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to repurchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125 million. Under the ASB program, the Company paid the financial institution $125 million and received an initial delivery of 1,713,502 shares of common stock. The program concluded on April 17, and on April 22, 2013, the financial institution delivered the remaining 495,576 shares to complete the ASB program. The final average purchase price to the Company was $56.58 per share, net of commissions and other fees. The Company anticipates that additional repurchases of common stock, if any, would occur from time to time in open market transactions, non-discretionary programs or in privately negotiated transactions depending on market and economic conditions, share price, trading volumes, alternative uses of capital and other factors.
