NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Description of Business

Visteon Corporation (the "Company" or "Visteon") is a global automotive supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures innovative electronics products for nearly every original equipment vehicle manufacturer ("OEM") worldwide including Ford, Nissan, Renault, Mazda, BMW, General Motors and Honda. Visteon is headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan and has an international network of manufacturing operations, technical centers and joint venture operations, supported by approximately 10,000 employees, dedicated to the design, development, manufacture and support of its product offerings and its global customers. The Company's manufacturing and engineering footprint is principally located outside of the U.S., with a heavy concentration in low-cost geographic regions. Visteon delivers value for its customers and stockholders through its technology-focused core vehicle cockpit electronics business. The Company's cockpit electronics product portfolio includes audio systems, information displays, instrument clusters, head up displays, infotainment systems, and telematics solutions. The Company's vehicle cockpit electronics business is comprised of and reported under the Electronics segment. In addition to the Electronics segment, the Company has residual operations in South America and Europe previously associated with the former Interiors and Climate businesses, not subject to discontinued operations classification, that comprise Other. A summary of transactions impacting the Company's businesses is provided below.

Exit of Climate Business

On June 9, 2015, Visteon Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, VIHI, LLC (collectively, “Visteon”) completed the sale to Hahn & Co. Auto Holdings Co., Ltd. and Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. (together, the “Purchasers”) of all of its shares of Halla Visteon Climate Control Corporation, a Korean corporation (“HVCC”), for approximately $3.4 billion, or KRW 52,000 per share, after adjusting for the 2014 dividend paid by HVCC to Visteon (the “Climate Transaction”), pursuant to and in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2014, among Visteon and the Purchasers. See Note 4 "Discontinued Operations" for additional disclosures. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $2.7 billion and recognized a pretax gain of approximately $2.3 billion in connection with the closing of the Climate Transaction in the second quarter 2015. The results of operations for the Climate business have been classified as income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.

On July 18, 2016, the Company reached an agreement to sell its South Africa climate operations, with 2015 annual sales of $9 million as reported in Other in the Company’s segment footnote. The sale is expected to close during 2016 for proceeds of approximately $2 million. Assets and liabilities associated with these operations met the "held for sale" criteria at September 30, 2016 and are classified as "Other current assets" or "Other current liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded a charge during the third quarter of 2016 associated with this agreement of approximately $11 million related to foreign currency translation amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Exit of Interiors Business

During 2014, the Company divested the majority of its global Interiors business (the "Interiors Divestiture"). Subsequently, Visteon completed the sale of its Interiors operations in Thailand on February 2, 2015. Remaining operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture are located in Argentina and Brazil and are expected to close during 2016. Assets and liabilities associated with these operations continue to meet the "held for sale" criteria at September 30, 2016 and are classified as "Other current assets" or "Other current liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to record losses in connection with the Argentina and Brazil portions of the Interiors Divestiture in future periods upon closing, which are estimated to be approximately $20 million.

See Note 4 "Discontinued Operations" for additional disclosures.

On December 1, 2015, Visteon completed the sale and transfer of its equity ownership in Visteon Deutschland GmbH, which operated the Berlin, Germany interiors plant ("Germany Interiors Divestiture"). The Company contributed cash, of approximately $141 million, assets of $27 million, and liabilities of $198 million including pension related liabilities. The Company will make a final contribution payment of approximately $33 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 which is included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as "Other current liabilities" as of September 30, 2016.

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments

Table of Contents

(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.

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. All other investments in non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for using the cost method.

The Company determines whether joint ventures in which it has invested is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company determined that Yanfeng Visteon Electronics (China) Investment Co., Ltd. ("YFVIC"), is a VIE. The Company holds a variable interest in YFVIC primarily related to its ownership interests and subordinated financial support. The Company and Yanfeng Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. (an unrelated party) each own 50% of YFVIC. YFVIC is not consolidated since the Company is not the primary beneficiary.

At September 30, 2016, the Company’s investment in YFVIC is $24 million. In addition, at September 30, 2016, the Company has receivables due from YFVIC, including trade receivables and other advances of $25 million, subordinated loans receivable of $22 million and payables due to YFVIC of $15 million. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s investment in YFVIC was $23 million and it had receivables due from YFVIC, including trade receivables and other advances of $36 million, a subordinated loan receivable of $10 million and payables due to YFVIC of $17 million. At September 30, 2016, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss in YFVIC is $94 million, which includes assets described above and a $23 million loan guarantee. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Visteon loaned YFVIC and affiliates approximately $12 million, expected to be repaid within five years.

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company agreed to sell its 50% interest in an equity investment for approximately $7 million. The Company has recorded a loss in the investment of $5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to this transaction, classified as "Gain on sale of non-consolidated affiliates, net" in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

On July 22, 2016, the Company sold a cost method investment to a third party for proceeds of approximately $11 million. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, classified as "Gain on sale of non-consolidated affiliates, net" in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

In June 2015, the Company completed the sale of its 12.5% ownership interest in Yangfeng Visteon Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. ("Jinqiao"), a Chinese automotive supplier for proceeds of approximately $91 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $62 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, classified as "Gain on sale of non-consolidated affiliates, net" in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

Other Expense, Net: Other expense, net includes the following:



	Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30

Recoverable taxes	—		—		(1		)	—
	$	13	$	7	$	17		$	15

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $11 million related to foreign currency translation amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the agreement to sell the Company's South Africa climate operations. In connection with the closure of the Climate facility in Argentina, the Company entered an agreement to contribute land and building with a net book value of $2 million to the local municipality.

Transformation initiatives include information technology separation costs and financial and advisory services incurred in connection with the execution of the Company's comprehensive value creation plan and certain severance costs associated with the acquisition of substantially of the global automotive electronics business of Johnson Controls Inc. (the "Electronics Acquisition") and the Climate Transaction. Transaction hedging and exchange gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $19 million, relate to Climate Transaction proceeds hedging and exchange impacts.

Cash and Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, including short-term time deposits, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and money market funds to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2016 the Company's cash balances are invested in a diversified portfolio of cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, commercial paper rated A2/P2 and above with maturity under three months, time deposits and other short-term cash investments, which mature under three months with highly rated banking institutions. The cost of such funds approximates fair value based on the nature of the investment.

Short-term Investments: Short-term investments of $47 million as of December 31, 2015 included corporate bonds, asset backed securities, and commercial paper with maturities between three and twelve months held as part of the Company's separately managed accounts. The cost of these Level 1 investments approximated fair value. These investments were liquidated during the first quarter of 2016.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents amounts designated for uses other than current operations and includes $3 million related to the Letter of Credit Facility, and $1 million related to cash collateral for other corporate purposes at September 30, 2016.

Investments in Affiliates: The Company recorded equity in net income of affiliates of less than $1 million and $3 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $3 million and $8 million, respectively. Investments in affiliates were $47 million and $56 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, investments in affiliates accounted for under the equity method totaled $42 million and $45 million, respectively, while investments in affiliates accounted for under the cost method were $5 million at September 30, 2016 and $11 million at December 31, 2015. The Company monitors its investments in 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.

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 for product warranty and recall obligations 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $7 million

for specific cause actions representing customer actions related to defective supplier parts and related software. Additional amounts of $6 million for such customer actions are expected to be recovered from contractually responsible parties, and are therefore, included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as "Accounts receivable, net" and "Other current liabilities" without an impact to the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the product warranty and recall claims liability:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this principle, an entity identifies the contract with a customer, identifies the separate performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. This ASU allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard. As such, the new standard will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption on the original effective date permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and anticipates changes to the revenue recognition of customer owned tooling and engineering recoveries. The Company expects to adopt this standard during the first quarter 2018.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-3, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Cost". The ASU requires debt issuance costs associated with a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the corresponding debt liability. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis during the three months ending March 31, 2016 and accordingly, previously issued debt issuance costs in the amount of $1 million as of December 31, 2015 have been reclassified as a reduction of the corresponding debt liability.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)": The amendments supersede current lease requirements in Topic 840 which require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)": Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. While aimed at reducing the cost and complexity of the accounting for share-based payments, these amendments are not expected to significantly impact net income, earnings per share, and the statement of cash flows. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)": Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU will be applied using a retrospective

transition method to each period presented. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. Business Acquisition

On July 8, 2016 Visteon acquired AllGo Embedded Systems Private Limited, a leading developer of embedded multimedia system solutions to global vehicle manufacturers, for a purchase price of $17 million ("AllGo Purchase") including $2 million of contingent consideration to be paid over the next year if certain technology milestones are achieved. In addition, the purchase agreement includes contingent payments of $5 million if key employees remain employed through July 2019. The AllGo Purchase is expected to add greater scale and depth to the Company's infotainment software capabilities. The operating results for the business acquired have been included in the Electronics segment from the date of acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $1 million. These amounts were recorded as incurred and have been classified as "Other expenses,net" within the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The AllGo purchase was accounted for as a business combination, with the purchase price allocated on a preliminary basis as of July 2016. The preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to change and may be subsequently adjusted to reflect final valuation results, is shown below:

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values based on management's estimates, available information, and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Additionally, the Company utilized a third-party to assist with certain estimates of fair values.

Fair values for intangible assets were based on the income approach including excess earnings and relief from royalty methods. These fair value measurements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The preliminary purchase price allocations may be subsequently adjusted to reflect final valuation results.

The pro forma effects of the AllGo acquisitions does not materially impact the Company's reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial statements are presented.

NOTE 4. Discontinued Operations

The operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture and Climate Transaction met conditions required to qualify for discontinued operations reporting. Accordingly, the results of operations for Interiors operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture have been reclassified to income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The nine month period ended September 30, 2015 also included the results of operations for the Climate transaction, sold during the second quarter of 2015.

NOTE 5. Restructuring Activities

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $5 million and $22 million of restructuring expenses, net of reversals. Given the economically-sensitive and highly competitive nature of the automotive electronics 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.

Electronics

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company announced a restructuring program to transform the Company's engineering organization and supporting functional areas to focus on execution and technology. The organization will be comprised of regional engineering, product management and advanced technologies, and global centers of competence. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company has recorded approximately $1 million and $13 million, respectively, of restructuring

expenses under this program, associated with approximately 100 employees, of which $7 million remains accrued as of September 30, 2016. The Company expects to record additional restructuring costs related to this program as the underlying plan is finalized.

In connection with the Electronics Acquisition the Company commenced a restructuring program designed to achieve annual cost savings through transaction synergies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $2 million and $14 million, respectively, of severance and termination benefits under this program associated with approximately 400 employees. As of September 30, 2016, $4 million remains accrued for this program and charges are considered substantially complete.

The Company previously announced a restructuring program designed to reduce fixed costs and to improve operational efficiency by addressing certain under-performing operations. In connection with that program, the Company announced plans to realign its corporate and administrative functions directly to their corresponding operational beneficiary. The Company recorded $1 million and $4 million for restructuring expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, primarily related to severance and termination benefits.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash contributions to the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan were $9 million. The Company expects to make cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of $13 million in 2016. The Company’s expected 2016 contributions may be revised.

On April 28, 2016, the Company purchased a non-participating annuity contract for all participants of the Canada non-represented plan. The annuity purchase covered 52 participants and resulted in the use of $5 million of plan assets for pension benefit obligation settlements of approximately $5 million. In connection with the annuity purchase, the Company recorded a settlement loss of approximately $1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

2016 Discount Rate for Estimated Service and Interest Cost: Through December 31, 2015, the Company recognized service and interest cost components of pension expense using a single weighted average discount method representing the constant annual

Table of Contents

rate required to discount all future benefit payments related to past service. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company changed the method used to estimate service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for pension benefits for its U.S. and certain non-U.S. plans. The Company has elected to utilize a disaggregated discount rate approach resulting in different amounts of interest cost compared to the traditional single weighted-average discount rate approach because of different weightings given to each subset of payments.

This change does not affect the measurement of the total benefit obligation, but resulted in a decrease in the service and interest components of benefit cost beginning in 2016. Based on current economic conditions, the Company estimates that service cost and interest cost for the affected plans will be reduced by approximately $7 million in 2016 as a result of the change in method. The Company has accounted for this as a change in accounting estimate that is inseparable from a change in accounting principle, and accordingly has accounted for it on a prospective basis.

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. For the U.S. defined contribution plan, the Company matches 100% of contributions on the first 6% of pay contributed. The expense related to matching contributions was approximately $2 million and $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The expense related to matching contributions was approximately $6 million and $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE 13. Income Taxes

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a provision for income tax on continuing operations of $5 million and $27 million, respectively, which 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 pretax losses and/or recognize tax expense for pretax income in certain jurisdictions (including the U.S.) due to valuation allowances. Pretax losses from continuing operations in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are maintained and no income tax benefits are recognized totaled $38 million and $31 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, resulting in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate in those years. As described further below, the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate is updated each quarter and was favorably impacted by incorporating certain transfer pricing adjustments between the U.S. and Japan consistent with the anticipated transfer pricing methodology expected to be agreed upon pursuant to the Company's impending bilateral advance pricing agreement ("APA") submission between those two countries.

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 that are not considered permanently reinvested at each tier of the legal entity structure.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized expense primarily related to non-U.S. withholding taxes, of $3 million and $4 million, respectively, 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. In determining the estimated annual effective tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including forecasts of projected annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the pretax income and/or pretax losses will be generated, the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, and available tax planning strategies. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate is updated each quarter and may be significantly impacted by changes to the mix of forecasted earnings by tax jurisdiction. The tax impact of adjustments to the estimated annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period such estimates are revised. 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 uncertain tax positions, and changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur, rather than included in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will 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. The factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to, recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is

Table of Contents

more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial reporting losses. In regards to the full valuation allowance recorded against the U.S. net deferred tax assets, significant judgment is applied in determining whether a carryback opportunity related to the 2015 tax year provides an incremental source of taxable income to support partial realization of the U.S. net deferred tax assets, which includes estimating the amount of future tax losses that would be available to carryback.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, including amounts attributable to discontinued operations, were $33 million and $37 million, respectively. Of these amounts approximately $18 million and $29 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $4 million and $3 million, respectively.

The $4 million net decrease in gross unrecognized tax benefits reflects $7 million in decreases primarily related to settling tax assessments from the Korean tax authorities related to underpayment of withholding taxes, and favorable developments in connection with an ongoing audit in Hungary. These decreases were partially offset by increases for audit developments in Mexico and anticipated transfer pricing-related exposures worldwide totaling $3 million.

The $11 million net decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits, that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate, reflects the $7 million settlement and $1 million net increase for ongoing audit developments described above, and $5 million in decreases related primarily to change in estimates associated with the filing of the Company’s U.S. tax returns that resulted in a reduction in U.S. income tax after utilizing available tax attributes related to the 2015 Climate Transaction.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2012 or state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2003 although U.S. net operating losses carried forward into open tax years technically remain open to adjustment. 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 Europe, Asia, Mexico and the U.S. 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. The long-term portion of uncertain income tax positions (including interest) in the amount of $22 million is included in Other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits including amounts attributable to discontinued operations is as follows:

interest, the deposit amount is approximately $15 million, as of September 30, 2016. The Company believes that the risk of a negative outcome is remote once the matter is fully litigated at the highest judicial level. These appeal payments, as well as income tax refund claims associated with other jurisdictions, total $16 million as of September 30, 2016, and are included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Share Repurchase Program

On June 16, 2015, the Company announced an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million, as the first of announced shareholder return actions. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $500 million and received an initial delivery of 3,712,297 shares of common stock using a reference price of $107.75. The program concluded in December 2015 and the Company received an additional 1,058,965 shares. The final settlement price for all shares delivered under this 2015 ASB program was $104.79.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party financial institution to purchase up to $150 million of Visteon common stock in accordance with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("10b5-1 Share Repurchase Program"). During the period of the program, which concluded on March 1, 2016, the Company paid approximately $105 million to repurchase 1,607,849 shares at an average price of $65.05.

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into another ASB program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $395 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $395 million and received an initial delivery of 4,370,678 shares of common stock using a reference price of $72.30. The program was concluded in October 2016 and the Company received additional 1,211,979 shares. In total, the Company purchased 5,582,657 shares at an average price of $70.75 under this ASB program.

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.

Distribution

On December 9, 2015, the Company declared a special distribution of $43.40 per share of its common stock outstanding as of January 15, 2016, or approximately $1.75 billion in the aggregate. On January 22, 2016 approximately $1.74 billion was paid, the remaining $15 million will be paid over a two-year period upon vesting and settlement of restricted stock units and performance-based share units previously granted to the Company's employees. These amounts were classified as "Distribution payable" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The special cash distribution was funded from Climate Transaction proceeds.

Stock Warrants

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received payments of $15 million and $30 million related to approximately 266,000 and 569,000 warrants, respectively, converted to shares of common stock at an exercise price of $58.80 per share.

NOTE 15. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Visteon 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. 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.

NOTE 16. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and market interest rates. The Company manages these risks, in part, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges the variability in the future cash flows for forecast transactions excluding those forecast transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing debt is up to eighteen months from the date of the forecast transaction. The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges forecast transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing debt is the term of the underlying debt. The use of derivative financial instruments creates exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the derivative financial instruments.

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. 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.

Fair Value of Debt

The Company's fair value of debt was approximately $377 million and $385 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Fair value estimates were based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Accordingly, the Company's debt fair value disclosures are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Financial Instruments

The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. Derivative financial instruments designated and non-designated as hedging instruments are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. There is no cash collateral on any of these derivatives.

Foreign Exchange Risk: 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. 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 periodically and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company’s current primary hedged foreign currency exposures include the Euro, Japanese Yen and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies.

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.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had derivative instruments that consisted primarily of option and forward contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $145 million and $147 million, respectively. Fair value estimates of these contracts are based on quoted market prices and other observable inputs. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, approximately $111 million and $114 million of the instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" component of Stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. There was no ineffectiveness associated with such derivatives as of September 30, 2016 and the fair value of these derivatives was an asset of $2 million. The difference between the gross and net value of these derivatives is not material.

During 2015, the Company entered into currency exchange derivatives with a notional amount of $150 million to manage foreign currency exposure on certain non-U.S. denominated foreign entities. These derivatives have been designated as hedges of the Company's net investments in European affiliates with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" component of Stockholder's equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. There was no ineffectiveness associated with such derivatives as of September 30, 2016 and the fair value of these derivatives was a liability of $2 million.

In December 2014, the Company entered into a foreign currency option contract with a notional amount of $2,229 million to manage foreign currency exposure on anticipated KRW denominated proceeds in connection with the Climate Transaction. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into offsetting foreign currency option contracts and non-deliverable forwards with notional amounts of $2,229 million each to lower related premium expenses. Final settlement of these hedges occurred during the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the closing of the Climate Transaction. The Company recorded a gain of $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, reflecting the change in the fair value of the foreign currency option and forward contracts, which was classified as "Other expense, net" in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Interest Rate Risk: The Company is subject to interest rate risk principally in relation to variable-rate debt. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with its risk management policies. During 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $150 million that effectively convert designated cash flows associated with underlying interest payments on the Term Facility from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate, the maturities of these swaps will not exceed the underlying Term Facility. The instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" component of Stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and such gains and losses will be reclassified at the time the underlying hedged transactions are realized. The ineffective portion of these swaps is assessed based on the hypothetical derivative method and is recorded as interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2016 there was no ineffectiveness associated with these derivatives and the fair value was a liability of $3 million.

Table of Contents

The interest rate swaps are valued 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, and can be derived from observable data or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Accordingly, the Company's interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments including cash equivalents, derivative contracts, and accounts receivable, expose the Company to counter-party credit risk for non-performance. The Company’s counterparties for cash equivalents 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 substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counter-party and through monitoring counter-party credit risks.

The Company's credit risk with any individual customer does not exceed ten percent of total accounts receivables except for Ford and its affiliates which represents 19% and 18% at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, Mazda which represents 10% of the Company's accounts receivables at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and Nissan/Renault which represents 12% and 11% of the Company's accounts receivables at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 17. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Claims

In 2003, the Local Development Finance Authority of the Charter Township of Van Buren, Michigan (the “Township”) issued approximately $28 million in bonds finally maturing in 2032, the proceeds of which were used at least in part to assist in the

Table of Contents

development of the Company’s U.S. headquarters located in the Township. During January 2010, the Company and the Township entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that, among other things, reduced the taxable value of the headquarters property to current market value and facilitated certain claims of the Township in the Company’s chapter 11 proceedings. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the Company would continue to negotiate in good faith with the Township in the event that property tax payments was inadequate to permit the Township to meet its payment obligations with respect to the bonds. In September 2013, the Township notified the Company in writing that it is estimating a shortfall in tax revenues of between $25 million and $36 million, which could render it unable to satisfy its payment obligations under the bonds. On May 12, 2015, the Township commenced a proceeding against the Company in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in connection with the foregoing. Upon the Company’s motion to dismiss, the Township dismissed the proceeding before the Delaware Bankruptcy Court and re-commenced the proceeding against the Company in the Michigan Wayne County Circuit Court for the State of Michigan on July 2, 2015. The Township sought damages or, alternatively, declaratory judgment that, among other things, the Company is responsible under the Settlement Agreement for payment of any shortfall in the bond debt service payments. On February 2, 2016 the Wayne County Circuit Court dismissed the Township’s lawsuit without prejudice on the basis that the Township’s claims were not ripe for adjudication and the Township has appealed this decision to the Michigan Court of Appeals. The Company disputes the factual and legal assertions made by the Township and intends to vigorously defend the matter. The Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter.

The Company is currently involved in disputes with its former President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy D. Leuliette. Mr. Leuliette filed an arbitration demand against the Company with the American Arbitration Association, alleging claims relating to the cessation of his employment. The Company subsequently filed a complaint against Mr. Leuliette in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, seeking to enjoin the arbitration and asserting additional claims. The federal litigation is currently stayed pending a ruling in the arbitration. The Company disputes the factual and legal assertions made by Mr. Leuliette, has asserted counterclaims against him in the arbitration, and, although there can be no assurances, the Company does not currently believe that the resolution of these disputes will have a material adverse impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

In November 2013, the Company and HVCC, jointly filed an Initial Notice of Voluntary Self-Disclosure statement with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regarding certain sales of automotive HVAC components by a minority-owned, Chinese joint venture of HVCC into Iran. The Company updated that notice in December 2013, and subsequently filed a voluntary self-disclosure regarding these sales with OFAC in March 2014. In May 2014, the Company voluntarily filed a supplementary self-disclosure identifying additional sales of automotive HVAC components by the Chinese joint venture, as well as similar sales involving an HVCC subsidiary in China, totaling approximately $12 million, and filed a final voluntary-self disclosure with OFAC on October 17, 2014. OFAC is currently reviewing the results of the Company’s investigation. Following that review, OFAC may conclude that the disclosed sales resulted in violations of U.S. economic sanctions laws and warrant the imposition of civil penalties, such as fines, limitations on the Company's ability to export products from the United States, and/or referral for further investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. Any such fines or restrictions may be material to the Company’s financial results in the period in which they are imposed, but at this time is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter. Additionally, disclosure of this conduct and any fines or other action relating to this conduct could harm the Company’s reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The Company cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its own review of our voluntary self-disclosures or whether it may impose any of the potential penalties described above.

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 September 30, 2016, the Company maintained accruals of approximately $11 million for claims aggregating approximately $82 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.

While the Company believes its accruals for litigation and claims are adequate, the final amounts required to resolve such matters could differ materially from recorded estimates and the Company's results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

Guarantees and Commitments

The Company provided a $23 million loan guarantee to YFVIC, a 50% owned joint venture, in connection with the October 2014 YFVIC acquisition of a 49% direct ownership interest in YFVE. The guarantee contains standard non-payment provisions to cover the borrowers in event of non-payment of principal, accrued interest, and other fees for its five year tenor.

As part of the agreements of the Climate Transaction and Interiors Divestiture, the Company continues to provide lease guarantees to divested Climate and Interiors entities. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has approximately $9 million and $8 million

outstanding guarantees respectively, related to divested Climate and Interiors entities. These guarantees will generally cease upon expiration of current lease agreements.

As part of the Interiors Divestiture the Company agreed to provide a $56 million revolving credit facility in connection with the Master Closing, representing the shortfall to the targeted amount of $90 million in external financing. The seller-backed facility was reduced as buyer credit facilities ramped up and the seller-backed facility will be reduced further if the buyer adds working capital facilities in Russia and Thailand. Draws under the seller-backed facility are only available to the extent buyer external credit facilities are fully drawn and any draws on the seller-backed facility generally must be repaid prior amounts outstanding on any external credit facilities. The seller-backed facility matures on November 1, 2017, at an interest rate of Libor plus 5% and a default rate of interest for any interest and/or principal payment defaults. As of April 6, 2016, this revolving credit facility to the buyer was reduced to $35 million as additional receivable financing became available to the buyer. As of September 30, 2016, there were no draws on this facility. In connection with the divestiture of the remaining Interiors operations, the buyer has the option to request replacement of the existing revolving credit facility with a three year term loan, between $5 million and $10 million. On October 10, 2016, the buyer provided notice of intent to exercise the option and enter into a three year term loan for the maximum amount of $10 million upon closing, anticipated in 2016.

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 September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the Company had recorded a reserve of less than $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.

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 September 30, 2016 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 18. Segment Information

Financial results for the Company's reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision-making group in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision making group, comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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’s current reportable segments are as follows:


•	Electronics - The Company's Electronics segment provides vehicle cockpit electronics products to customers, including audio systems, information displays, instrument clusters, head up displays, infotainment systems, and telematics solutions.

•

Other - Other includes entities in South America and South Africa previously associated with the Climate business but not subject to the Climate Transaction. On July 18, 2016, the Company reached an agreement to sell its South Africa climate operations, with 2015 annual sales of $9 million. The sale is expected to close during 2016. During 2015, other also included the Berlin, Germany operations previously associated with the Interiors business and sold during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuring expense, net interest expense, loss on debt extinguishment, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, other net expense, provision for income taxes, discontinued operations, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, pension settlement gains and other non-operating gains and losses.

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. 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 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.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is summarized below:



	Three Months Ended September 30					Nine Months Ended September 30

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company changed its corporate cost allocation methodology for management reporting purposes. Accordingly, costs associated with the Company's corporate headquarters and other administrative support functions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, have been reclassified to the Electronics operating segment, representing ongoing business costs.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Visteon is as follows:

Item 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Visteon Corporation (“Visteon” or the “Company”). MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2016, and the financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Description of Business

Strategic Initiatives

Visteon is a technology-focused, pure-play supplier of automotive cockpit electronics and connected car solutions. The Company has laid out the following three strategic initiatives for 2016 and beyond:

•

Strengthen the Core - Visteon offers technology and related manufacturing operations for audio, head-up displays, information displays, infotainment, instrument clusters and telematics products. The Company's backlog, defined as cumulative remaining life of program booked sales, is approximately $16.2 billion as of September 30, 2016, or 5.3 times the last twelve months of sales, reflecting a strong booked sales base on which to launch future growth.

Visteon core business financial results continue to improve with Adjusted EBITDA margin for electronics of 10.0% in the third quarter of 2016 compared with 8.7% in the third quarter of 2015. The Company expects to deliver cost efficiencies by achieving selling, general and administrative and engineering efficiencies, improving free cash flow, optimizing its capital structure and driving savings benefits as revenues grow.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company announced a restructuring program to remodel the Company's engineering organization to focus on execution and technology. The future organization will be comprised of customer regional engineering, product management and advanced technologies, and global centers of competence.

•

Move Selectively to Adjacent Products - As consumer demand continues to evolve with an increase of electronics content per vehicle, the Company strives to further develop expertise in the areas of cockpit domain controllers, next generation safety applications, and vehicle cyber security. These areas require assessment as consumer needs shift and related products complement Visteon's core products. Specifically, the Company is targeting the mid to high infotainment market as an area to differentiate itself from its competition.

•

Expand into Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ("ADAS") / Autonomous Driving - The Company's approach to autonomous driving is to feature fail-safe centralized domain hardware, designed for algorithmic developers, and applying artificial intelligence for object detection and other functions. The Company is developing a secure autonomous driving domain controller platform with an open framework based on neural networks. The Company projects a launch of the technology in 2018.

Transformation Milestones

The Company has achieved the milestones which transformed the Company's business operations into a pure-play supplier of automotive cockpit electronics and connected car solutions.

A summary of the most recent milestones completing the transformation are summarized below:

•

Exit of Climate Business - On June 9, 2015, Visteon Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, VIHI, LLC (collectively, “Visteon”) completed the sale to Hahn & Co. Auto Holdings Co., Ltd. and Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. (together, the “Purchasers”) of all of its shares of Halla Visteon Climate Control Corporation, a Korean corporation (“HVCC”), for approximately $3.4 billion, or KRW 52,000 per share, after adjusting for the 2014 dividend paid by HVCC to Visteon (the “Climate Transaction”), pursuant to and in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2014, among Visteon and the Purchasers. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $2.7 billion and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $2.3 billion in connection with the closing of the Climate Transaction in the second quarter 2015.

On July 18, 2016, the Company reached an agreement to sell its South Africa climate operations, with 2015 annual sales of $9 million as reported in the Company’s Other product line. The sale is expected to close during 2016 for proceeds of approximately $2 million. The Company recorded a loss of approximately $11 million during the third quarter, related to foreign currency translation amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

•

Exit of Interiors Business - During 2014, the Company divested the majority of its global Interiors business (the "Interiors Divestiture"). Subsequently, Visteon completed the sale of its Interiors operations in Thailand on February 2, 2015. Remaining operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture are located in Argentina and Brazil and are expected to close during 2016. These remaining transactions are subject to various conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approvals, receipt of other third party consents and approvals and other customary closing conditions, and may be subject to further cash impacts based on purchase price adjustments at the time of closing. The Company expects to record losses in connection with the Argentina and Brazil portions of the Interiors Divestiture in future periods upon closing, which are estimated to be approximately $20 million.

On December 1, 2015, Visteon completed the sale and transfer of its equity ownership in Visteon Deutschland GmbH, which operated the Berlin, Germany interiors plant ("Germany Interiors Divestiture"). The Company contributed cash, of approximately $141 million, assets of $27 million, and liabilities of $198 million including pension related liabilities. The Company will make a final contribution payment of approximately $33 million by December 2016 included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as "Other current liabilities" as of September 30, 2016.


•	Enhance Shareholder Returns - In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company returned approximately $2.75 billion of cash to shareholders through 2016 via a series of actions including share buybacks and special distributions.

On June 16, 2015, the Company announced an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of Visteon common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million, as the first of these shareholder return actions. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $500 million and received an initial delivery of 3,712,297 shares of common stock using a reference price of $107.75. The program concluded in December 2015 and the Company received an additional 1,058,965 shares. The final settlement price for all shares delivered under this 2015 ASB program was $104.79.

On December 9, 2015, the Company declared a special distribution of $43.40 per share of its common stock outstanding as of January 15, 2016, or approximately $1.75 billion in the aggregate. On January 22, 2016 approximately $1.74 billion was distributed to shareholders. An additional amount of approximately $15 million will be paid over a two-year period as related to the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units and performance-based share units previously granted to the Company's employees. These amounts were classified as "Distribution payable" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into another ASB program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of Visteon common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $395 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $395 million and received an initial delivery of 4,370,678 shares of common stock using a reference price of $72.30. The program was concluded on October 14, 2016 and the Company received additional 1,211,979 shares. In total, the Company purchased 5,582,657 shares at an average price of $70.75 under this ASB program.

Executive Summary

The Company's Electronics sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $749 million, the pie charts below highlight the sales breakdown for Visteon's Electronics segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

On April 16, 2016 there was an earthquake in Kyushu Japan which has the potential to directly or indirectly disrupt material supply and electronic component production of various automotive suppliers, including Visteon, and corresponding vehicle manufacturers. Visteon financial impacts through the third quarter of 2016 have been insignificant, and the Company continues to monitor and work with suppliers and customers to minimize potential disruptions.

Significant aspects of the Company's financial results during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 include the following:

•

The Company recorded sales of $770 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, representing a decrease of $38 million when compared with the same period of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the Germany Interiors Divestiture, lower production volumes in North America and Europe, and customer pricing net of design savings. The decrease was partially offset by higher volumes in Asia.

•

The Company recorded sales of $2,345 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing a decrease of $91 million when compared with the same period of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the Germany Interiors Divestiture, the wind down of Other South America business, Chinese Yuan and Euro currency impacts, and customer pricing net of design changes. The decrease was partially offset by Asia and Europe volume increases.


•	Gross margin was $105 million or 13.6% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared with $105 million or 13.0% of sales for the same period of 2015. Favorable currency and net engineering costs were offset by higher warranty costs.


•	Gross margin was $335 million or 14.3% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $316 million or 13.0% of sales for the same period of 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to favorable volumes, net new business and product mix, and improved cost performance, partially offset by customer pricing and the wind down of Other South America business.

•

Net income attributable to Visteon was $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to net income of $5 million for the same period of 2015. The increase of $23 million includes higher income from discontinued operations of $18 million driven by tax impacts, lower selling, general and administrative expense of $6 million, lower transformation and integration costs of $7 million and lower provision for income taxes of $5 million. Partial offsets include 2016 impairment charges for South Africa climate operations of $11 million and Argentina climate closure related charges of $2 million.

•

Net income attributable to Visteon was $73 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to net income of $2,263 million for the same period of 2015. The decrease of $2,190 million includes lower income from discontinued operations of $2,209 million primarily resulting from the 2015 gain on the Climate Transaction, tax impacts and decreased results from climate operations. Net income also decreased during 2016 due to the lower gain on sale of non-consolidated affiliates, net of $61 million. These were offset by lower net income attributable to non-controlling interests of $29 million which included impacts of divested climate operations, improved gross margin for continuing operations of $19 million, lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $19 million, lower provision for income taxes of $16 million and the non-recurrence of loss on debt extinguishment of $5 million.


•	Including discontinued operations, cash provided by operating activities was $38 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $236 million compared with the same period of 2015. The reduction is primarily related to the exit of the Climate business, higher tax payments and higher working capital use.


•	Total cash and short-term investments, excluding amounts held for sale, were $854 million as of September 30, 2016, $1,929 million lower than $2,783 million as of December 31, 2015, primarily attributable to the special distribution of approximately $1,736 million and share repurchases of $500 million, partially offset by the Climate Transaction withholding tax refund of $356 million.

Sales

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $770 million, which represents a decrease of $38 million compared with the same period of 2015. Favorable volumes, product mix, and net new business increased sales by $6 million. This increase was more than offset by the sale of an interiors facility in Germany on December 1, 2015 which decreased sales by $20 million. Unfavorable currency further decreased sales by $4 million, primarily attributable to the Chinese Yuan and Euro partially offset by the Japanese Yen. Other reductions were associated with customer pricing, net of design savings.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased $38 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 when compared with the same period in 2015. Increased volumes, product mix, and net new business increased cost of sales by $8 million. This increase was more than offset by the Germany interiors facility sale which decreased cost of sales by $20 million. Foreign currency further decreased cost of sales by $8 million primarily attributable to the Chinese Yuan, Euro, and Mexican Peso, partially offset by the Japanese Yen. Net efficiencies, including material, design and usage economics and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by increased warranty expense, decreased cost of sales by $18 million.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $105 million or 13.6% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $105 million or 13.0% of sales for the same period of 2015. Volume decreased gross margin by $2 million as product mix offset slightly higher production volumes. Currency increased gross margin by $4 million as the impact of Mexican Peso, Euro, and Chinese Yuan offset the Japanese Yen. Gross margin also included $2 million of unfavorable net cost performance. Higher warranty expense and customer pricing offset material and manufacturing cost efficiencies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $53 million and $59 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to net efficiencies and lower incentive compensation costs.

Restructuring Expense

Electronics: During the first quarter of 2016, the Company announced a restructuring program to transform the Company's engineering organization and supporting functional areas to focus on execution and technology. The organization will be comprised of regional engineering, product management and advanced technologies, and global centers of competence. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company has recorded approximately $1 million of restructuring expenses under this program.

In connection with the Electronics Acquisition, the Company commenced a restructuring program designed to achieve annual cost savings through transaction synergies. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $2 million of severance and termination benefits, net of reversals, under this program associated with approximately 400 employees..

The Company previously announced a restructuring program designed to reduce fixed costs and to improve operational efficiency by addressing certain under-performing operations. In connection with that program, the Company announced plans to realign its corporate and administrative functions directly to their corresponding operational beneficiary. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $1 million for restructuring expenses, primarily related to severance and termination benefits.

The Company recorded an impairment charge of $11 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, related to foreign currency translation amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the agreement to sell the Company's South Africa climate operations. In connection with the closure of the Climate facility in Argentina, the Company entered an agreement to contribute land and building with a net book value of $2 million to the local municipality.

Integration costs include costs associated with re-branding, facility modification, information technology readiness and related professional services necessary to integrate businesses associated with the Electronics Acquisition.

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes of $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, represents a decrease of $5 million when compared with $10 million in the same period of 2015. The decrease in tax expense is primarily attributable to the year-over-year changes in the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions. In this regard, the Company is currently pursuing a bilateral advance pricing agreement (“APA”) with the U.S. and Japan tax authorities and expects to file a formal submission during the fourth quarter of 2016. Consistent with the anticipated transfer pricing methodology expected to be agreed upon, the Company has reflected adjustments related to the 2016 operations through September 30, 2016.

In connection with the closure of the Company’s Climate facility in Argentina during the third quarter of 2016, it is possible the Company will recognize a worthless stock deduction for U.S. income tax purposes should the entity be considered worthless in 2016. The impact of a worthless stock deduction in 2016 could result in substantially reducing the Company’s 2015 income tax liability.

Discontinued Operations

The operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture and Climate Transaction met conditions required to qualify for discontinued operations reporting. Accordingly, the results of operations for the Interiors business have been reclassified to income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. See Note 4 “Discontinued Operations" for additional disclosures.

Net Income

Net income attributable to Visteon was $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to net income of $5 million for the same period of 2015. The increase of $23 million includes higher income from discontinued operations of $18 million driven by tax impacts, lower selling, general and administrative expense of $6 million, lower transformation and integration costs of $7 million and lower provision for income taxes of $5 million. Partial offsets include 2016 impairment charges for South Africa climate operations of $11 million and the Argentina climate operations closure of $2 million .

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below) was $75 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $10 million when compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $65 million for the same period of 2015. The increase included $8 million from favorable net cost performance, driven by material, manufacturing, and selling, general

Transformation initiatives include information technology separation costs and financial and advisory services incurred in connection with the execution of the Company's comprehensive value creation plan and certain severance costs associated with the Electronics Acquisition and the Climate Transaction. Transaction hedging and exchange losses of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, relate to the Climate Transaction Korean withholding tax refund exchange impacts. Transaction hedging and exchange gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $19 million, relate to Climate Transaction proceeds hedging and exchange impacts.

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes of $27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 represents a decrease of $16 million when compared with $43 million in the same period of 2015. The decrease in tax expense is attributable to several items including the year-over-year decrease in earnings, as well as changes in the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions. In this regard, the Company is currently pursuing a bilateral advance pricing agreement (“APA”) with the U.S. and Japan tax authorities and expects to file a formal submission during the fourth quarter of 2016. Consistent with the anticipated transfer pricing methodology expected to be agreed upon, the Company has reflected adjustments related to the 2016 operations through September 30, 2016. Other year-over-year decreases include the non-recurrence of $8 million related to the withholding tax associated with the sale of its non-consolidated affiliate located in China during the second quarter of 2015, and favorable developments in connection with certain income tax incentives formally approved by the Portuguese tax authorities during the first quarter of 2016 resulting in a discrete income tax benefit of $3 million.

These decreases were partially offset by several items including the non-recurrence of an $8 million benefit, including interest and penalties, primarily attributable to favorable audit developments in Asia leading to changes in judgment during the first quarter of 2015, and $2 million related to ongoing interest accruals for uncertain tax positions and unfavorable developments associated with an ongoing audit in Mexico during the first quarter of 2016, and $3 million to record under withheld taxes in connection with intercompany transactions between the U.S. and non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions related to previous years.

To the extent the Company generates discretionary cash flow, management will evaluate alternatives including optional prepayments of existing indebtedness, strategic acquisitions, additional share repurchases, and/or general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had total cash balances of $856 million, including $2 million of cash held for sale and $4 million of restricted cash. Cash balances totaling $607 million were located in jurisdictions outside of the United States, of which approximately $280 million is considered permanently reinvested for funding ongoing operations outside of the U.S. If such permanently reinvested funds are repatriated to operations in the U.S., 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. The Company monitors the macroeconomic environment and its impact on vehicle production volumes in relation to the Company's specific cash needs. 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.

Significant Cash Sources and Availability

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, which includes funds from its existing $350 million Term Facility due April 9, 2021 ("Term Facility"), or additional cash available on undrawn financing facilities such as its $200 million revolving credit facility due April 9, 2019 ("Revolving Facility"), other affiliate working capital lines of credit, or potential additional capital through debt or equity markets.

Access to capital markets is influenced by the Company's credit ratings. In March 2016, the Company's credit rating was upgraded by S&P to BB- from B+ and Moody's upgraded the Company's credit rating to Ba3 from B1.

The Company executed an Amendment to the Credit Agreement on March 25, 2015. The Amendment, among other things, provides for certain modifications to the Credit Agreement to permit Visteon’s sale of its ownership interest in HVCC and otherwise to update the Credit Agreement to account for HVCC no longer being a subsidiary of Visteon following the Climate Transaction. Under the Amendment, Term Lenders agreed to waive that 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the Climate Transaction be used to prepay the Term Loans so long as such Net Cash Proceeds are used to prepay the Term Loans within five Business Days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding after giving effect to such prepayment to no more than $350 million. In connection with the Amendment, the facilities were upgraded to BB and Ba3 by S&P and Moody's, respectively. In March 2016, the facilities were further upgraded to BB+ and Ba2 by S&P and Moody's, respectively.

As of September 30, 2016, $350 million face value was outstanding under the Term Facility, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. Availability under outstanding affiliate credit facilities as of September 30, 2016 is approximately $34 million.

Distribution

On December 9, 2015, the Company approved a special distribution of $43.40 per share of its common stock outstanding as of January 15, 2016, or approximately $1.75 billion in the aggregate, consistent with its previously announced plans to return a portion of the Climate Transaction proceeds to stockholders, ranging from approximately $2.5 billion to $2.75 billion, through a structured series of actions including repurchases of common stock and/or a special distribution. On January 22, 2016 approximately $1.74 billion was distributed to shareholders. An additional amount of approximately $15 million will be paid over a two-year period related to the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units and performance-based share units previously granted to the Company's employees.

Approximately $1.74 billion of the Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments, including the separately managed accounts, were liquidated on or about January 19, 2016 to fund the special distribution paid on January 22, 2016.

Share Repurchase Program

Since July 2012, the Company's board of directors has cumulatively authorized a total of $1.8 billion in share repurchases. On June 16, 2015, the Company announced an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of Visteon common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $500 million and received an initial delivery of 3,712,297 shares of common stock using a reference price of $107.75. The program concluded in December 2015 and the Company received an additional 1,058,965 shares. The final settlement price for all shares delivered under this 2015 ASB program was $104.79.

In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party financial institution to purchase up to $150 million of Visteon common stock in accordance with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("10b5-1 Share Repurchase Program"). Under this program, the third-party financial institution repurchased the Company's shares at the prevailing market prices pursuant to a pre-specified matrix of various share price levels and corresponding daily purchase amounts. During the period of the program, which concluded on March 1, 2016 , the Company paid approximately $105 million to repurchase 1,607,849 shares at an average price of $65.05.

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into another ASB program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of Visteon common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $395 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $395 million and received an initial delivery of 4,370,678 shares of common stock using a reference price of $72.30. The program concluded on October 14, 2016, and the Company subsequently received an additional 1,211,979 shares for a total purchase of 5,582,657 shares at an average price of $70.75.

Significant Cash Obligations related to Divestiture Agreements

In connection with the Interiors Divestiture, the Company agreed to provide a $56 revolving credit facility to the buyer, which was to mature on November 1, 2017. As of April 6, 2016, this revolving credit facility to the buyer was reduced to $35 million as additional receivable financing became available to the buyer. As of September 30, 2016, there were no draws on this facility.

In accordance with the Master Closing Agreement, the buyer has the option to request replacement of the existing revolving credit facility, at the time of closing on the remaining operations, with a three year term loan between $5 and $10 million. On October 10, 2016, the buyer provided notice of intent to exercise the option and enter into a three year term loan for the maximum amount of $10 million upon closing, anticipated in 2016. The Company is obligated to deliver working capital of $10 million in connection with the Argentina and Brazil portions of the Interiors Divestiture in future periods upon closing.

In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase certain electronics operations located in India for $50 million, expected to close in 2016.

The remaining payment related to the Germany Interiors Divestiture which transacted December 1, 2015 is expected to transact in 2016 for $33 million.

Restructuring

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $5 million and $22 million, respectively, of restructuring expenses.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company announced a restructuring program designed to reduce the workforce at a European Electronics facility. The Company recorded $12 million of severance and termination benefits under this program associated with approximately 100 employees.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Electronics Acquisition, the Company commenced a restructuring program designed to achieve annual cost savings through transaction synergies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $2 million and $14 million, respectively, of severance and termination benefits under this program associated with approximately 400 employees.

Given the economically-sensitive and highly competitive nature of the automotive electronics 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.

Other

During the third quarter, 2016, the Company agreed to sell its 50% interest in an equity method investment for approximately $7 million. The Company has recorded a loss in connection with this transaction of $5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, classified as "Gain on sale of non-consolidated affiliates, net" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income .

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash contributions to the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan were $9 million. The Company expects to make cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of $13 million in 2016. Estimated cash contributions for 2017 through 2019, under current regulations and market assumptions are approximately $57 million.

During 2012, Brazil tax authorities issued tax assessment notices to Visteon Sistemas Automotivos (“Sistemas”) related to the sale of its chassis business to a third party, which required a deposit in the amount of $15 million during 2013 necessary to open a judicial proceeding against the government in order to suspend the debt and allow Sistemas to operate regularly before the tax authorities after attempts to reopen an appeal of the administrative decision failed. The Company believes that the risk of a negative outcome is remote once the matter is fully litigated at the highest judicial level. These appeal payments, as well as income tax refund claims associated with other jurisdictions, total $16 million as of September 30, 2016, and are included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Cash Flows

The Company has combined cash flows from discontinued operations with cash flows from continuing operations within the operating, investing and financing categories in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the Company's consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented. As such, the discussion below includes both continuing and discontinued operations.

Operating Activities

Including discontinued operations, the Company generated $38 million of cash in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to cash provided by operations of $274 million during the same period of 2015 for a decrease of $236 million.

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to the divestiture of climate operations which provided $186 million in operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The $50 million decrease in continuing operations cash reflects higher income tax payments of approximately $59 million primarily related to increases in Japan, China and Europe, and U.S. federal income taxes in connection with the 2015 Climate Transaction, partially offset by the non-recurrence of taxes withheld in connection with the 2015 sale of a non-consolidated affiliate. The decrease in operating cash flow is also impacted by higher working capital use of approximately $31 million primarily related to a 2015 system conversion payment delay of $20 million and inventory build for a 2016 plant consolidation effort. These decreases were partially offset by the non-recurrence of 2015 Climate Transaction related labor and incentive payments of $46 million.

Investing Activities

Cash provided from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $339 million, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $2,531 million in the same period in 2015 for a decrease of $2,192 million. Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, includes the Climate Transaction withholding tax recovery of $356 million, liquidation of short-investments of $47 million, and proceeds from divestiture of a cost-basis investment of $11 million. These increases were partially offset by capital expenditures of $56 million, the acquisition of AllGo Embedded Systems Private Limited of $15 million and loans to non-consolidated affiliates of $8 million.

Net cash flow provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes Climate Transaction proceeds net of tax, transaction costs and divested cash balances of $2,664 million, proceeds from the sale of the Company's 12.5% ownership in Yanfeng Visteon Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Company, Limited of $91 million. These increases were partially offset by capital expenditures of $151 million, investments in short-term securities of $52 million, a $10 million shareholder loan to a non-consolidated affiliate, and a $15 million Interiors Divestiture working capital settlement.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $56 million, a decrease of $95 million when compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to the divestiture of climate operations.

Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $2,260 million, compared to $759 million used by financing activities for the same period in 2015, for an increase in cash used by financing activities of $1,501 million. Cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included a distribution payment of $1,736 million, share repurchases of $500 million, stock based compensation tax withholding payments of $11 million and capital lease and net debt payments of $13 million.

Cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $759 million, primarily consisted of accelerated share repurchases of $500 million, prepayment of the Company's Term Facility including fees of $248 million, dividends paid to non-controlling interests of $31 million, partially offset by cash received from option and warrant exercises of $24 million.

For additional information, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, for specific debt agreements and additional information related to covenants and restrictions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company renewed its $15 million Letter of Credit ("LOC") Facility with U.S. Bank National Association for two years on September 30, 2015. 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 issued LOCs (or 110% for non-U.S. currencies) with reimbursement for any draws. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had $3 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility and secured by restricted cash. In addition, the Company had $17 million of locally issued letters of credit to support various customs arrangements and other obligations at its local affiliates.

In connection with the Interiors Divestiture and November 1, 2014 Master Closing, the Company agreed to provide a $56 revolving credit facility to the buyer. The seller-backed facility matures on November 1, 2017, an interest rate of Libor plus 5% and a default rate of interest for any interest and/or principal payment defaults. As of April 6, 2016, this revolving credit facility to the buyer was reduced to $35 million as additional receivable financing became available to the buyer. As of September 30, 2016, there were no draws on this facility. In connection with the divestiture of the remaining Interiors operations, the buyer has the option to request replacement of the existing revolving credit facility with a three year term loan of between $5 million and $10 million. On October 10, 2016, the buyer provided notice of intent to exercise the option and enter into a three year term loan for the maximum amount of $10 million upon closing, anticipated in 2016.

Fair Value Measurement

Additional information related to the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value is set forth in Note 16, “Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments” 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, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this principle, an entity identifies the contract with a customer, identifies the separate performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. This ASU allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard. As such, the new standard will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption on the original effective date permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and anticipates changes to the revenue recognition of customer owned tooling and engineering recoveries. The Company expects to adopt this standard during the first quarter 2018.

See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements under Item 1 “Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

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 mitigation of market risks, including hedging activities. However, derivative 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 non-performance by the counter-party 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, investments in subsidiaries and anticipated foreign currency denominated transaction proceeds. Where possible, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risks. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed periodically and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company’s primary hedged foreign currency exposures include the Euro, Japanese Yen, and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies. In addition, during 2015, the Company entered into currency exchange derivatives with a notional amount of $150 million to manage foreign currency exposure on certain non-U.S. denominated foreign entities. These derivatives have been designated as hedges of the Company's net investments in European affiliates with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss component of Stockholder's equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. There was no ineffectiveness associated with these derivatives as of September 30, 2016. Forward and option contracts may be utilized to reduce the impact to the Company's cash flow from adverse movements in exchange rates. As of September 30, 2016, the net fair value of such currency exchange derivatives, foreign currency forward and option contracts was a asset of less than $1 million while at December 31, 2015, the net fair value of such currency exchange derivatives, foreign currency forward and option contracts was an asset of $6 million, maturities of these instruments generally do not exceed eighteen months.

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 $29 million and $26 million for foreign currency derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk, principally in relation to variable rate debt. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

During 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $150 million that effectively convert designated cash flows associated with underlying interest payments on the Term Facility from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate, the maturities of these swaps will not exceed the underlying Term Facility. The instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive income component of Stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and such gains and losses will be reclassified at the time the underlying hedged transactions are realized. The ineffective portion of these swaps is assessed based on the hypothetical derivative method and is recorded as interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 there was no ineffectiveness associated with these derivatives and the fair value was a liability of $3 million and $1 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The Company significantly reduced interest rate exposure after entering the swap transactions in 2015. The variable rate basis of debt is approximately 57% and 59% respectively as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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
