VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Visteon Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Visteon") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, stockholders' equity, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Considerable judgment is involved in making these determinations and the use of different estimates or assumptions could result in significantly different results. Management believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate. However, actual results could differ from those reported herein. Events and changes in circumstances arising after September 30, 2023 will be reflected in management's estimates in future periods.

Segment: The Company’s reportable segment is Electronics. The Electronics segment provides vehicle cockpit electronics products to customers, including digital instrument clusters, domain controllers with integrated advanced driver assistance systems ("ADAS"), displays, Android-based infotainment systems, and battery management systems. As the Company has one reportable segment, net sales, total assets, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures are equal to consolidated results.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable based on the current expected credit loss impairment model (“CECL”). The Company applies a historical loss rate based on historic write-offs by region to aging categories. The historical loss rate is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, as necessary. The Company may also record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $8 million and $5 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Business Combinations - Joint Venture - In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, "Joint Venture Formation (Subtopic 805-60) - Recognition and initial measurement." to provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital (collectively, investors) in a joint venture’s financial statements and to create consistency in presentation. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2025 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2023-05.

Disclosure Improvements - In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements (Release No. 33-10532)." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the interim period June 30, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2023-06.

NOTE 2. Non-Consolidated Affiliates

Investments in Affiliates

The Company's investments in non-consolidated equity method affiliates include the following:


	September 30,		December 31,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Yanfeng Visteon Investment Co., Ltd. ("YFVIC") (50%)	$	11	$	25
Limited partnerships	14		13
Other	11		11
Total investments in non-consolidated affiliates	$	36	$	49

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates whether joint ventures in which it has invested are Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. The Company consolidates a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE having 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 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 Yangfeng Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. ("YF") each own 50% of YFVIC and neither entity has the power to control the operations of YFVIC; therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of YFVIC and does not consolidate the joint venture.

The Company's investments in YFVIC consists of the following:


	September 30,		December 31,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Payables due to YFVIC	$	20	$	38
Exposure to loss in YFVIC:
Investment in YFVIC	$	11	$	25
Receivables due from YFVIC	22		48
Maximum exposure to loss in YFVIC	$	33	$	73

A $5 million dividend was declared by a non-consolidated affiliate during the second quarter 2023, which is recorded as a current asset as of September 30, 2023.

The Company recorded a $9 million settlement charge related to a one-time contract dispute with a joint venture partner during the second quarter of 2022. This charge is recorded within Cost of Sales.

Equity Investments

In 2018, the Company committed to make a $15 million investment in two entities principally focused on the automotive sector pursuant to limited partnership agreements. As a limited partner in each entity, the Company will periodically make capital contributions toward this total commitment amount. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has contributed a total of approximately $12 million toward the aggregate investment commitments. These limited partnerships are classified as equity method investments.

NOTE 3. Restructuring and Impairments

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 actions as necessary which may include 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $2 million and $8 million, respectively, of net restructuring expense primarily related to employee severance.

Current restructuring actions include the following:

•During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company approved and recorded $2 million of net restructuring expense primarily in North and South America to improve efficiencies and rationalize the Company's footprint. As of September 30, 2023, $1 million remains accrued related to this action.

•During prior periods the Company approved various restructuring programs to improve efficiencies across the organization. As of September 30, 2023, $3 million remains accrued related to these previously announced actions.

•As of September 30, 2023, the Company retained restructuring reserves as part of the Company's divestiture of the majority of its global Interiors business (the "Interiors Divestiture") and legacy operations of $3 million associated with completed programs for the fundamental reorganization of operations at facilities in Brazil and France.

Impairments

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the value of these long-lived asset groups are not recoverable.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe, the Company elected to close the Russian facility resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $4 million to fully impair property and equipment and reduce inventory to its net realizable value.

Terms of the amended credit facility require a quarterly principal payment equal to 1.25% of the original term debt balance. The first required payment was paid during the second quarter of 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has no other short-term borrowings at the Company's subsidiaries. The Company's subsidiaries have access to $32 million of capacity under short-term credit facilities.

Long-Term Debt

The Company has no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023.

Interest on the Term Facility loans and Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to a SOFR-based rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.00% and 1.75%, as determined by the Company's total gross leverage ratio. The Company can benefit from a 5 basis point decrease to the applicable margin due to a sustainability-linked pricing provision based on the Company's annual performance on reducing GHG emissions.

The Credit Agreement requires compliance with customary affirmative and negative covenants and contains customary events of default. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a total net leverage ratio no greater than 3.50:1.00. During any period when the Company’s corporate and family ratings meet investment grade ratings, certain of the negative covenants are suspended.

The Revolving Credit Facility also provides $75 million availability for the issuance of letters of credit and a maximum of $20 million for swing line borrowings. Any amount of the facility utilized for letters of credit or swing line loans outstanding will reduce the amount available under the existing Revolving Credit Facility. The Company may request increases in the limits under the Credit Agreement and may request the addition of one or more term loan facilities. Outstanding borrowings may be prepaid without penalty (other than borrowings made for the purpose of reducing the effective interest rate margin or weighted average yield of the loans). There are mandatory prepayments of principal in connection with: (i) certain asset sales or other dispositions, (ii) certain refinancing of indebtedness and (iii) over-advances under the Revolving Credit Facility.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement and obligations with respect to certain cash management services and swap transaction agreements between the Company and its lenders are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, any amounts outstanding are secured by a first-priority perfected lien on substantially all property of the Company and the subsidiaries party to the security agreement, subject to certain limitations.

Other

The Company has a $4 million letter of credit facility, whereby the Company is required to maintain a cash collateral account equal to 103% (110% for non-U.S. dollar denominated letters) of the aggregate stated amount of issued letters of credit and must reimburse any amounts drawn under issued letters of credit. The Company had $2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility secured by restricted cash, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Additionally, the Company had $2 million and $3 million of locally issued bank guarantees and letters of credit as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, to support various tax appeals, customs arrangements and other obligations at its local affiliates.

Pension financing benefits are classified as Other income, net on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash contributions to the Company's defined benefit plans were $4 million related to its non-U.S. plans. The Company estimates that total cash contributions to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans during 2023 will be $5 million.

NOTE 10. Income Taxes

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income tax of $48 million which reflects income tax expense in countries where the Company is profitable, accrued withholding taxes, and the inability to record a tax benefit for pretax losses and/or recognize expense for pretax income in certain jurisdictions, including the United States ("U.S."), due to valuation allowances. Pre-tax losses in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are maintained and no income tax benefits are recognized totaled $29 million and $16 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate.

The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against income before income taxes, excluding equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the period. Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate calculations are performed for those countries where the Company's operations are profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax valuation allowances exist and are maintained.

The 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 Company evaluates its deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. Based on the Company’s current assessment, it is possible that sufficient positive evidence may be available to support the release of all, or a portion, of its U.S. valuation allowance in three to twelve months. Release of all, or a portion, of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded.

There were no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the third quarter of 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $3 million increase in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions attributable to transfer pricing as a result of new information from discussions with foreign tax authorities. The long-term portion of uncertain income tax positions (including interest) of $6 million is included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, while $4 million is included in other current liabilities, and $5 million is reflected as a reduction of deferred tax assets included in Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Outstanding income tax refund claims related primarily to India and Brazil jurisdictions, total $7 million as of September 30, 2023, and are included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Share Repurchase Program

On March 2, 2023 the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of $300 million of common stock through December 31, 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has purchased 333,758 shares at an average price of $137.11 related to this program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has purchased 545,537 shares at an average price of $138.87 related to this program.

NOTE 12. 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 calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potentially 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.

The table below provides details underlying the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 13. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

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.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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 use of derivative financial instruments creates exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the derivative financial instruments. The Company limits this exposure by entering into agreements including master netting arrangements directly with a variety of major highly rated financial institutions that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Additionally, the Company’s ability to utilize derivatives to manage risks is dependent on credit and market conditions. 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. There is no cash collateral on any of these derivatives.

Derivative financial 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 or may derived from observable data. Accordingly, the Company's derivative

instruments are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy.

Cross Currency Swaps: The Company has executed cross-currency swap transactions intended to mitigate the variability of the U.S. dollar value of its investment in certain of its non-U.S. entities. These swaps are designated as net investment hedges and the Company has elected to assess hedge effectiveness under the spot method. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment in AOCI in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During 2022, the Company terminated existing cross currency swaps and received $9 million upon settlement. Subsequently, the Company executed new cross-currency swap transactions. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $200 million intended to mitigate the variability of U.S. dollar value investment in certain of its non-U.S. entities. These swaps are designated as net investment hedges. There was no ineffectiveness associated with such derivatives as of September 30, 2023, and the fair value of these derivatives is a non-current liability of $6 million. As of September 30, 2023, a gain of approximately $3 million is expected to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of these derivatives was a non-current liability of $8 million.

Interest Rate Swaps: The Company utilizes interest rate swap instruments to manage its exposure and to mitigate the impact of interest rate variability. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, accordingly, the effective portion of the changes in fair value is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Subsequently, the accumulated gains and losses recorded in equity are reclassified to income in the period during which the hedged exposure impacts earnings.

During 2022, the Company terminated existing interest rate swaps and received less than $1 million upon settlement. Subsequently, the Company executed new interest rate swap instruments. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $250 million. The fair value of these derivatives is a non-current asset of $14 million as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, a gain of approximately $7 million is expected to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next twelve months.

As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of these derivatives was a non-current asset of $10 million.

Financial Statement Presentation

Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Items Not Carried at Fair Value

The Company's fair value of debt was $337 million and $336 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 in the fair value hierarchy.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments including cash equivalents, derivative contracts, and accounts receivable, expose the Company to counterparty 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 credit rating requirements. 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 pursuant to written policies that specify minimum counterparty credit profile and by limiting the concentration of credit exposure amongst its multiple counterparties.

The Company's credit risk with any single customer does not exceed ten percent of total accounts receivable except for Ford and GM and their affiliates. Ford represents 18% and 16% of the Company's balance as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. GM represents 13% and 9% of the Company's balance as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Claims

In 2003, the Local Development Finance Authority of the Charter Township of Van Buren, Michigan issued approximately $28 million in bonds finally maturing in 2032, the proceeds of which were used at least in part to assist in the 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 also provided that the Company would negotiate in good faith with the Township if the property tax payments were inadequate to permit the Township to meet its payment obligations with respect to the bonds. On December 9, 2019, the Township commenced litigation against the Company in Michigan’s Wayne County Circuit Court. On

June 27, 2023, Visteon and the Township entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement pursuant to which Visteon, without admitting wrongdoing, will pay the Township $12 million. Payment will be made in two installments. One payment was made on July 3, 2023. The second payment is scheduled to be paid on July 1, 2024 and is classified as a current liability. The litigation commenced in Michigan’s Wayne County Circuit Court and has been dismissed with prejudice.

In November 2013, the Company and Halla Visteon Climate Control Corporation (“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 $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 the Company 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 its business, operating results and financial condition. The Company cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its own review of 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. The Company maintained accruals of $8 million for claims aggregating $39 million in Brazil as of September 30, 2023. 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.

The adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant reduction in vehicle production in the first half of 2020, which was followed by increased consumer demand and vehicle production schedules in the second half of 2020, particularly in the fourth quarter. Because semiconductor suppliers have been unable to rapidly reallocate production to serve the automotive industry, the surge in demand has led to a worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. The Company's semiconductor suppliers, along with most automotive component supply companies that use semiconductors, have been unable to fully meet the vehicle production demands of the Company's customers due to events which are outside the Company's control, including but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic, the global semiconductor shortage, a fire at a semiconductor fabrication facility in Japan, significant weather events impacting semiconductor supplier facilities in the southern United States, and other extraordinary events. The Company is working closely with suppliers and customers to attempt to minimize potential adverse impacts of these events. Certain customers have communicated that they expect the Company to absorb some of the financial impact of their reduced production and are reserving their rights to claim damages arising from supply shortages, however, the Company believes it has a number of legal defenses to such claims and intends to defend any such claims vigorously. The Company has also notified semiconductor suppliers that it will seek compensation from them for failure to deliver sufficient quantities. The Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter at this time.

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

As part of 2015 divestitures involving the Company's former climate and interiors businesses, the Company continues to provide lease guarantees to divested Climate and Interiors entities. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has $2 million and $2 million of outstanding guarantees related to the divested Climate and Interiors entities, respectively. The guarantees represent the maximum potential amount that the Company could be required to pay under the guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed parties. The guarantees will generally cease upon expiration of current lease agreement which expire in 2026 and 2024 for the Climate and Interiors entities, respectively.

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.

The following table provides a rollforward of changes in the product warranty and recall claims liability:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Beginning balance	$	51	$	50
Provisions	26		13
Changes in estimates	2		1
Currency	(1)		(6)
Settlements, net	(12)		(11)
Ending balance	$	66	$	47

The Company has recorded $15 million of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to a recall campaign for certain vehicles involving instrument panel clusters manufactured by the Company. The cause for the instrument panel cluster failures was resolved by the Company in April 2023 and the recall relates to certain parts shipped prior to that time. The amount recorded represents the Company’s best estimate and the ultimate resolution of these matters could have a further negative effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.

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; customs and international trade regulations; product recalls; product liability claims; 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 paragraphs where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraphs 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 as of September 30, 2023 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.

Global Automotive Market Conditions and Production Levels

For the last few years, the industry has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, worldwide semiconductor and other supply related shortages, and increased geopolitical challenges. Industry vehicle volumes increased in 2022 and are forecasted to increase again in 2023 as the worldwide semiconductor and other supply related shortages have eased. However, industry production volumes remain well below recent industry production levels that peaked in 2017 and risks related to vehicle affordability, economic uncertainty, and potential geopolitical challenges create ongoing uncertainties. The magnitude of the impact on the financial statements, results of operations, and cash flows will depend on the evolution of the semiconductor supply shortage, plant production schedules, supply chain impacts, and global economic impacts.

The current United Autoworkers (UAW) work stoppages at certain customer facilities exposes the Company to the risk of reduced customer orders due to labor disruptions affecting its customers' production and operations. A protracted UAW strike, or strikes by other labor unions at customer facilities, may lead to decreased demand for the Company's products or services, as its customers' production schedules may be adversely impacted. The Company intends to closely monitor the UAW strike and any related developments, including their impact on customer relationships and financial results.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $1,014 million, representing a decrease of $12 million compared with the same period of 2022. Volumes and net new business increased net sales by $91 million due to increases in customer production and continued market outperformance as a result of recent product launches. Unfavorable currency decreased net sales by $2 million, primarily attributable to the euro, Chinese renminbi, and Japanese yen. Customer pricing decreased net sales by $102 million primarily as a result of lower semiconductor open market purchases and the associated customer recoveries due to improving supply chain dynamics related to the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. Other cost performance, primarily related to design changes, increased sales by $1 million.

Cost of sales decreased by $51 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the same period in 2022. Volume, mix and net new business increased cost of sales by $76 million. Foreign currency decreased cost of sales by $5 million, primarily attributable to the euro, Chinese renminbi, and Japanese yen. Net engineering costs, excluding currency, decreased cost of sales by $5 million. Favorable cost performance, design changes, and other decreased cost of sales by $117 million primarily due to improving supply chain and material cost impacts associated with the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage as well as manufacturing efficiencies.

A summary of net engineering costs is shown below:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Gross engineering costs	$	(79)	$	(83)
Engineering recoveries	25		25
Engineering costs, net	$	(54)	$	(58)

Gross engineering costs relate to forward model program development and advanced engineering activities and exclude contractually reimbursable engineering costs. Net engineering costs of $54 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, including the impacts of currency, were $4 million lower than the same period of 2022. This decrease is primarily related to timing of project expenses, partially offset by increased personnel costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses was $52 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $5 million as compared to the three months ended 2022 is primarily due to increased personnel costs and reserves for bad debt.

Restructuring and impairment

The Company recorded less than $1 million and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of restructuring expense primarily related to employee severance.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1 million and $2 million, respectively. Interest expense for these periods is primarily related to the Company's term debt facility partially offset by higher interest income as a result of higher interest rates.

Equity in Net Income of Non-Consolidated Affiliates

Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates was a loss of $1 million income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Other Income, Net

Other income of $3 million and $5 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, was primarily related to net pension financing benefits.

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes of $21 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 represents an increase of $12 million compared with $9 million in the same period of 2022. The increase in tax expense is primarily attributable to the overall increase in pre-tax income, including changes in the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions as well as withholding taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, provision for income taxes, net interest expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, restructuring and impairment expense, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.

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. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in incentive compensation decisions and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies. In addition, the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants.

The reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Visteon to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022		Change

Adjusted EBITDA was $128 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $33 million when compared to $95 million for the same period of 2022. Favorable volumes and mix increased Adjusted EBITDA by $15 million. Foreign currency increased Adjusted EBITDA by $2 million, primarily attributable to the euro, Chinese renminbi, and Japanese yen. Net engineering costs, excluding currency, increased Adjusted EBITDA by $5 million. Customer pricing decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $102 million primarily as a result of lower semiconductor open market purchases and the associated customer recoveries due to improving supply chain dynamics related to the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. Other cost performance increased Adjusted EBITDA by $109 million primarily related to design changes and improved supply chain dynamics related to the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage as well as manufacturing efficiencies.

A summary of net engineering costs is shown below:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Gross engineering costs	$	(253)	$	(245)
Engineering recoveries	81		98
Engineering costs, net	$	(172)	$	(147)

Gross engineering costs relate to forward model program development and advanced engineering activities and exclude contractually reimbursable engineering costs. Net engineering costs of $172 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, including the impacts of currency, were $25 million higher than the same period of 2022. This increase is primarily related to further investments in engineering, inflation, and the timing of engineering recoveries.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses was $156 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $22 million as compared to the nine months ended 2022 is primarily due to increased personnel costs, investments in information technology, and reserves for bad debt.

Restructuring and impairment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $2 million and $8 million, respectively, of restructuring expense primarily related to employee severance.

Due to the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe, the Company closed its Russian facility resulting in a 2022 non-cash impairment charge of $4 million to fully impair property and equipment and reduce inventory to its net realizable value.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $7 million. Interest expense for these periods is primarily related to the borrowings on the Company's term debt facility partially offset by higher interest income as a result of higher interest rates.

Equity in Net Income of Non-Consolidated Affiliates

Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates was a loss of $8 million and income of $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in income is primarily due to various operational and non-operational charges incurred at an affiliate.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other expense, net of $4 million for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023 was primarily related to a litigation settlement expense partially offset by net pension financing benefits.

Other income, net of $15 million for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2022 is primarily due to net pension financing benefits.

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes of $48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 represents an increase of $24 million compared with $24 million in the same period of 2022. The increase in tax expense is primarily attributable to the overall increase in pre-tax income, including changes in the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions as well as withholding taxes, and $3 million related to uncertain tax positions attributable to transfer pricing following new discussions with foreign tax authorities.

Adjusted EBITDA

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 U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, and debt service requirements. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in incentive compensation decisions and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies. In addition, the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants

The reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Visteon to Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022		Change
Net income (loss) attributable to Visteon Corporation	$	120	$	90	$	30

Adjusted EBITDA was $317 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $72 million when compared to $245 million for the same period of 2022. Favorable volumes and mix increased Adjusted EBITDA by $112 million. Foreign currency decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $19 million, primarily attributable to the euro, Chinese renminbi, and Japanese yen. Net engineering costs, excluding currency, decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $25 million. Customer pricing decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $162 million, primarily as a result of lower semiconductor open market purchases and the associated customer recoveries due to improving supply chain dynamics related to the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. Other cost performance increased Adjusted EBITDA by $163 million, primarily due to reduced supply chain and material cost impacts associated with the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage as well as manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by a charge of $15 million related to a product recall with one of the Company's customers.

Liquidity

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, and borrowings under available credit facilities. The Company's intra-year needs are normally impacted by seasonal effects in the industry, such as mid-year shutdowns, the ramp-up of new model production, and year-end shutdowns at key customers.

A substantial portion of the Company's cash flows from operations are generated by operations located outside of the United States. Accordingly, the Company utilizes a combination of cash repatriation strategies, including dividends and distributions, royalties, and other intercompany arrangements to provide the funds necessary to meet obligations globally. The Company’s ability to access funds from its subsidiaries is subject to, among other things, customary regulatory and statutory requirements

and contractual arrangements including joint venture agreements and local credit facilities. Moreover, repatriation efforts may be modified by the Company according to prevailing circumstances.

Access to additional capital through the debt or equity markets is influenced by the Company's credit ratings. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s corporate credit rating is BB- by Standard & Poor’s. See Note 8, "Debt" for a comprehensive discussion of the Company's debt facilities. Incremental funding requirements of the Company's consolidated foreign entities are primarily accommodated by intercompany cash pooling structures. Affiliate working capital lines, which may be utilized by the Company's local subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures, had availability of $32 million and the Company had $400 million of available credit under the revolving credit facility, as of September 30, 2023.

Cash Balances

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $485 million, including $4 million of restricted cash. Cash balances totaling $293 million were located in jurisdictions outside of the United States, of which approximately $30 million is considered permanently reinvested for funding ongoing operations outside of the U.S. If such permanently reinvested funds were repatriated to the U.S., no U.S. federal taxes would be imposed on the distribution of such foreign earnings due to U.S. tax reform enacted in December 2017. However, the Company would be required to accrue additional tax expense primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.

Other Items Affecting Liquidity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid $6 million related to restructuring activities. Additional discussion regarding the Company's restructuring activities is included in Note 3, "Restructuring and Impairments." The Company estimates that total cash restructuring payments during the next twelve months will be approximately $4 million.

The Company committed to make a $15 million investment in two funds managed by venture capital firms principally focused on the automotive sector pursuant to limited partnership agreements. As of September 30, 2023, the Company contributed $12 million toward the aggregate investment commitments. As a limited partner in each entity, the Company will periodically make capital contributions toward this total commitment amount.

The Company may be required to make significant cash outlays related to its unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, that would be expected to result in a cash outlay of $10 million. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the period of cash settlement, if any, with the respective taxing authorities.

On March 2, 2023 the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of $300 million of common stock through December 31, 2026. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has purchased 545,537 shares at an average price of $138.87.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

The Company benefited from $169 million of cash inflows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing increased cash generation of $167 million as compared to prior year. The increase in cash from operations during 2023 is primarily attributable to higher Adjusted EBITDA of $72 million and improved working capital usage of $133 million, primarily related to customer collections and improved inventory management, offset by decreased payables.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $80 million, representing a $36 million increase as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase in cash used by investing activities is primarily due to increased capital expenditures of $28 million.

Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $119 million, representing a $112 million increase as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to repurchases of common stock of $76 million and dividends paid to non-controlling interest of $27 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary market risks to which the Company is exposed include changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through operating actions including fixed price contracts with suppliers and cost sourcing arrangements with customers and through various derivative instruments. The Company's use of derivative instruments is strictly intended for hedging purposes to mitigate market risks pursuant to written risk management policies. Accordingly, derivative instruments are not used for speculative or trading purposes. 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, market conditions, and prevailing economic environment.

Foreign Currency 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, investments in subsidiaries, and anticipated foreign currency denominated transaction proceeds. The Company may utilize derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risks. Forward and option contracts may be utilized to reduce the impact to the Company's cash flow from adverse movements in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed periodically, and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument.

In addition to the transactional exposure described above, the Company's operating results are impacted by foreign currency risk related to its foreign operations. The Company has not entered into currency exchange rate contracts to mitigate this exposure.

The hypothetical pre-tax gain or loss in fair value from a 10% favorable or adverse change in quoted currency exchange rates would be $20 million and $21 million for currency derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 investments in 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.

Interest Rate Risk

See Note 13, "Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 for additional information.

Commodity Risk

The Company's exposures to market risk from changes in the price of production material are managed primarily through negotiations with suppliers and customers, although there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all such costs. The Company continues to evaluate derivatives available in the marketplace and may decide to utilize derivatives in the future to manage select commodity risks if an acceptable hedging instrument is identified for the Company's exposure level at that time, as well as the effectiveness of the financial hedge among other factors.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in periodic reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of September 30, 2023, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II

Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See the information above under Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

The Company is supplementing the risk factors describe under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the additional risk factors set forth below, which supplement, and to the extent inconsistent, supersedes such risk factors.

A disruption in the Company's information technology systems, including because of cyberattack, could adversely affect its business and financial performance

The Company relies on the accuracy, capacity, and security of its information technology systems as well as those of its customers, suppliers, partners, and service providers to conduct its business. Despite the security and risk-prevention measures the Company has implemented, the Company's systems could be breached, damaged, or otherwise interrupted by a system failure, cyberattack, malicious computer software (including malware or ransomware), unauthorized physical or electronic access, or other natural or man-made incidents or disasters. The Company is also susceptible to security breaches that may go undetected. Such a breach or interruption could result in business disruption, theft of the Company's intellectual property or trade secrets, and unauthorized access to personal information. To the extent that business is interrupted or data is lost, destroyed, or inappropriately used or disclosed, such disruptions could lead to legal claims against the Company and adversely affect the Company’s competitive position, reputation, relationships with customers, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

On July 3, 2023, the Company experienced a disruption of certain IT services and assets at its third-party data center provider that resulted in some IT services experiencing interruptions and loss of data. Operations were not significantly impacted. The Company continues to work to restore the affected services and assets. There can be no guarantee that all information will be recovered, which may result in additional costs and inefficiencies.

Work stoppages and similar events could significantly disrupt the Company’s business

Because the automotive industry relies heavily on just-in-time delivery of components during the assembly and manufacture of vehicles, a work stoppage at one or more of the Company’s manufacturing and assembly facilities could have material adverse effects on the business. Similarly, if one or more of the Company’s customers were to experience a work stoppage, that customer would likely halt or limit purchases of the Company’s products, which could result in the shutdown of the related manufacturing facilities. A significant disruption in the supply of a key component due to a work stoppage at any of the Company’s suppliers or subsuppliers, or reduced orders from the Company’s customers as a result of work stoppages, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Item 5. Other Information
