Description of Business

Visteon Corporation (the "Company" or "Visteon") is a global automotive supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures innovative cockpit electronics and connected car solutions for the world's major vehicle manufacturers including Ford, Mazda, Renault/Nissan, General Motors, Volkswagen, Jaguar/Land Rover, Daimler, Honda and BMW. Visteon is a global leader in cockpit electronic products including digital instrument clusters, information displays, infotainment, head-up displays, telematics, SmartCore™ cockpit domain controllers, and the DriveCore™ advanced safety platform. 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 11,000 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., primarily in Mexico, Bulgaria, Portugal, Germany, India and China.

The Company’s Industry

The Company operates in the automotive industry, which is cyclical and highly sensitive to general economic conditions. The Company believes that future success in the automotive industry is, in part, dependent on alignment with customers to support their efforts to effectively meet the challenges associated with the following significant trends and developments in the global automotive industry.

•

Electronic content and connectivity - The electronic content of vehicles continues to increase due to various regulatory requirements and consumer demand for increased vehicle performance and functionality. The use of electronic components can reduce weight, expedite assembly, enhance fuel economy, improve emissions, increase safety and enhance vehicle performance. These benefits coincide with vehicles becoming more electric, connected and automated. Additionally, digital and portable technologies have dramatically influenced the lifestyle of today’s consumers, who expect products that enable such a lifestyle. Consequently, the vehicle cockpit is transforming into a fully digital environment with multi-displays systems incorporating larger, curved and complex displays and the consolidation of discrete electronic control units into a multi-core domain controller.

•

Advanced driver assistance systems ("ADAS") and autonomous driving - The industry continues to advance toward semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles. The Society of Automotive Engineers has defined five levels of autonomy ranging from levels one and two with driver-assist functions whereby the driver is responsible for monitoring the environment, to level five with full autonomy under all conditions. Levels one and two are already popular in the market while levels three and above require a combination of sensors, radars, camera and LiDARs, requiring sensor fusion and machine learning technologies, as the system assumes the role of monitoring the environment. Level three includes features such as highway pilot and parking assist technology, for which a increased market penetration rate is expected over the next several years.

•

Safety and security - Governments continue to focus regulatory efforts on safer transportation. Accordingly, Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") are working to improve occupant and pedestrian safety by incorporating more safety-oriented technology in their vehicles. Additionally, in-vehicle connectivity has increased the need for robust cybersecurity systems to protect data, applications and associated infrastructure. Security features are evolving with advances in sensors and silicon. Suppliers must enable the security/safety initiatives of their customers including the development of new technologies.

•

Vehicle standardization - OEMs continue to standardize vehicle platforms on a global basis, resulting in a lower number of individual vehicle platforms, design cost savings and further scale of economies through the production of a greater number of models from each platform. Having operations in the geographic markets in which OEMs produce global platforms enables suppliers to meet OEMs’ needs more economically and efficiently, thus making global coverage a source of significant competitive advantage for suppliers with a diversified global footprint. Additionally, OEMs are looking to suppliers for increased collaboration to lower costs, reduce risks and decrease overall time to market. Suppliers that can provide fully engineered solutions, systems and pre-assembled combinations of component parts are positioned to leverage the trend toward system sourcing. As vehicles become more connected and cockpits more digitized, suppliers that can deliver modular hardware architectures, “open” software architectures and a software platform approach will be poised to help OEMs achieve greater reuse of validated hardware circuitry, design scalability and faster development cycles.

The Company’s Customers

The Company's ultimate customers are global vehicle manufacturers including Ford, Mazda, Renault/Nissan, General Motors, Volkswagen, Jaguar/Land Rover, Daimler, Honda and BMW. Ford, Mazda and Renault/Nissan are the Company's largest ultimate customers and in 2019 accounted for sales of approximately 22%, 14% and 13%, respectively. In 2018 and 2017, Ford accounted for 26% and 28% of sales, respectively, Mazda accounted for 18% and 17% of sales in 2018 and 2017, respectively and Renault/Nissan accounted for 12% and 14% of sales for 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company typically negotiates product pricing on an annual basis with suppliers and OEMs. Any resulting price reductions are intended to take into account expected annual reductions in the overall cost to the supplier of providing products and services to the customer, through such factors as manufacturing productivity enhancements, material cost-reductions and design-related cost improvements. The Company has an aggressive cost-reduction program that focuses on reducing its total costs, which are intended to offset customer price reductions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s cost-reduction efforts will be sufficient to fully offset such price reductions.

The Company’s Competition

The automotive sector is concentrated, but operates under highly competitive conditions resulting from the globalized nature of the industry, high fixed costs and the resulting need for scale economies, market dynamics including share in mature economies and positioning in emerging economies and the low cost of switching for the end consumer. Accordingly, OEMs rigorously evaluate suppliers on the basis of financial viability, product quality, price competitiveness, technical expertise, development capability, new product innovation, reliability and timeliness of delivery, product design, manufacturing capability, flexibility, customer service and overall management. The Company's primary independent competitors include but are not limited to Alpine Electronics, Aptiv PLC, Continental AG, Denso Corporation, Samsung, LG Corporation, Nippon Seiki, Panasonic Corporation, Mobis, Innolux, Magnetti Marelli, and Robert Bosch GmbH.

Anticipated Revenue from Awarded Programs ("ARAP")

The Company's ARAP, previously referred to as backlog, is the estimated remaining cumulative awarded life-of-program sales. Several factors may change anticipated revenue from awarded programs; namely, new business wins, vehicle production volume changes, customer price reductions, currency exchange rates, component take rates by customers and short cycled or canceled platforms. The Company’s ARAP was $22.6 billion as of December 31, 2019.

The Company typically enters into customer agreements at the beginning of a vehicle life cycle with the intent to fulfill customer-purchasing requirements for the entire vehicle production life cycle. The vehicle life cycle typically includes the two to three year pre-production period and production for a term covering the life of such vehicle model or platform, generally between three to five years, although there is no guarantee that this will occur. The Company's customers make no firm commitments regarding volume and may terminate these agreements or orders at any time. Therefore, we believe that these arrangements do not represent firm orders.

The Company’s Business is Seasonal and Cyclical

Historically, the Company’s business has been moderately seasonal because its largest North American customers typically cease production for approximately two weeks in July for model year changeovers and approximately one week in December during the winter holidays. Customers in Europe historically shut down vehicle production during a portion of August and one week in December. In China, customers typically shut down approximately one week in early October and one week in January or February. Additionally, third-quarter automotive production traditionally is lower as new vehicle models enter production.

The Company’s Workforce and Employee Relations

The Company’s workforce as of December 31, 2019 included approximately 11,000 persons, of which approximately 6,000 were salaried employees and 5,000 were hourly workers. Many of the Company’s employees are members of industrial trade unions and confederations within their respective countries, including Europe, Asia and South America. Many of these organizations operate under collectively bargained contracts that are not specific to any one employer. The Company constantly works to establish and maintain positive, cooperative relations with its unions and work representatives around the world and believes that its relationships with unionized employees are satisfactory.

The Company’s Product Research and Development

The Company’s research and development efforts are intended to maintain leadership positions in core products and provide the Company with a competitive edge as it seeks additional business with new and existing customers. The Company also works with technology development partners, including customers, to develop technological capabilities and new products and applications.

The Company’s Intellectual Property

The Company owns significant intellectual property, including a number of patents, copyrights, proprietary tools and technologies and trade secrets and is involved in numerous licensing arrangements. Although the Company’s intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining its competitive position, no single patent, copyright, proprietary tool or technology, trade secret or license, or group of related patents, copyrights, proprietary tools or technologies, trade secrets or licenses is, in the opinion of management, of such value to the Company that its business would be materially affected by the expiration or termination thereof. The Company’s general policy is to apply for patents on an ongoing basis, in appropriate countries, on its patentable developments that are considered to have commercial significance. The Company also views its name and mark as significant to its business as a whole. In addition, the Company holds rights in a number of other trade names and marks applicable to certain of its businesses and products that it views as important to such businesses and products.

The Company’s International Operations

Financial information about sales and net property by major geographic region can be found in Note 3, "Segment Information," included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Report. The attendant risks of the Company’s international operations are primarily related to currency fluctuations, changes in local economic and political conditions and changes in laws and regulations. The following table presents the Company’s sales and net property and equipment by geographic region as a percentage of such consolidated total amounts.

The Company’s Raw Materials and Suppliers

Raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its products include electronics components, resins, copper and precious metals. All of the materials used are generally available from numerous sources. In general, the Company does not carry inventories of raw materials in excess of those reasonably required to meet production and shipping schedules. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had not experienced significant shortages of raw materials. The Company monitors its supply base and endeavors to work with suppliers and customers to attempt to mitigate the impact of potential material shortages and supply disruptions. While the Company does not anticipate any significant interruption in the supply of raw materials, there can be no assurance that sufficient sources or amounts of all necessary raw materials will be available in the future.

The automotive supply industry is subject to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials, which have historically placed operational and financial burdens on the entire supply chain. Accordingly, the Company continues to take actions with its customers and suppliers to mitigate the impact of these inflationary pressures in the future. Actions to mitigate inflationary pressures with customers include collaboration on alternative product designs and material specifications, contractual price escalation clauses and negotiated customer recoveries. Actions to mitigate inflationary pressures with suppliers include aggregation of purchase requirements to achieve optimal volume benefits, negotiation of cost-reductions and identification of more cost competitive suppliers. While these actions are designed to offset the impact of inflationary pressures, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in fully offsetting increased costs resulting from inflationary pressures.

The Company’s Website and Access to Available Information

A printed copy of the foregoing documents may be requested by contacting the Company’s Investor Relations department in writing at One Village Center Drive, Van Buren Township, MI 48111; by phone (734) 710-7893; or via email at investor@visteon.com.


Item 1A.	Risk Factors

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Risks attributable to all registrants are not included below. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those not presently known or that the Company believes to be immaterial, also may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Should any such risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on the Company’s business and financial results.

The automotive industry is cyclical and significant declines in the production levels of the Company’s major customers could reduce the Company’s sales and harm its profitability.

Demand for the Company’s products is directly related to the automotive vehicle production of the Company’s major customers. Automotive sales and production are cyclical and can be affected by general economic or industry conditions, labor relations issues, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements, the cost and availability of credit and other factors. Due to overall global economic conditions in 2019, the automotive industry experienced decreased global customer sales and production schedules. Compared to 2018, vehicle production in 2019 decreased by 8% in China, 4% in the Americas, 4% in Europe and 6% globally. As a result, the Company has experienced and may continue to experience reductions in orders from OEM customers in certain regions.

The Company’s substantial international operations make it vulnerable to risks associated with doing business in foreign countries.

The Company has manufacturing and distribution facilities in many foreign countries, including Mexico, Europe, South America and Asia. International operations are subject to certain risks inherent in doing business abroad, including:


•	changes to international trade agreements;


•	local economic conditions, expropriation and nationalization, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and currency controls;


•	withholding, border and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;


•	investment restrictions or requirements;


•	export and import restrictions, including increases in border tariffs;


•	the ability to effectively enforce intellectual property rights;


•	new or additional U.S. sanctions on doing business with or in certain countries or with certain persons; and


•	increases in working capital requirements related to long supply chains.

Additionally, the Company’s global operations may also be adversely affected by political events, domestic or international terrorist events and hostilities or complications due to natural or other disasters. For instance, recent government changes in Mexico have resulted in potential increases in minimum wages. Moreover, the ongoing coronavirus outbreak emanating from China has resulted in increased travel restrictions and extended shutdown of certain businesses in the region. These or any further political or governmental developments or health concerns in Mexico, China or other countries in which the Company operates could result in social, economic and labor instability. These uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on the continuity of the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

While we have worked to mitigate any adverse impact, existing free trade laws and regulations, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and its predecessor agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement, provide certain beneficial duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with the applicable classification and other requirements. Despite recent trade negotiations between the U.S. and Chinese governments and between the U.S. and European governments,

given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of the imposed tariffs, as well as the potential for additional tariffs or trade barriers by the U.S., China or other countries, the Company can provide no assurance that any strategies we implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be successful.

The Company has and is expected to continue to invest significantly in joint ventures with other parties to conduct business in China and elsewhere in Asia. These investments may include manufacturing operations and technical centers as well as research and development activities to support anticipated growth in the region. If the Company is not able to strengthen existing relationships, secure additional customers and develop market-relevant advanced driver assistance and autonomous vehicle technologies, it may fail to realize expected rates of return on these investments. The Company’s ability to repatriate funds from these joint ventures depends not only upon their uncertain cash flows and profits, but also upon the terms of particular agreements with the Company’s joint venture partners and maintenance of the legal and political status quo. As a result, the Company’s exposure to the risks described above is substantial. The likelihood of such occurrences and its potential effect on the Company vary from country to country and are unpredictable. However, any such occurrences could be harmful to the Company’s business and the Company’s profitability and financial condition.

The United Kingdom’s (“U.K.”) exit from the European Union (“E.U.”), commonly referred to as “Brexit,” has triggered market volatility and uncertainty. Continued uncertainty of failure to achieve an organized transition may adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions, including vehicle production, significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets. The Company does not have any manufacturing facilities in the U.K. and the Company’s technical centers in the U.K. employ less than 3% of its engineering resources. While the Company's annual sales in the U.K were only 4%, the potential impacts of Brexit could adversely impact other global economies, and in particular, the European economy, a region which accounted for approximately 33% of the Company’s total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company will continue to actively monitor the ongoing potential impacts of Brexit and will seek to minimize its impact on the Company’s business through review of its existing contractual arrangements and obligations, particularly in the European region. Any of these effects of Brexit, among others, could adversely affect the Company’s business, business opportunities, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company must continue to develop, introduce and achieve market acceptance of new and enhanced products in order to grow its sales in the future.

The growth of the Company's business will be dependent on the demand for innovative automotive electronics products, including but not limited to advanced driver assistance and autonomous vehicle technologies. In order to increase sales in current markets and gain entry into new markets, the Company must innovate to maintain and improve existing products, including software, while successfully developing and introducing distinctive new and enhanced products that anticipate changing customer and consumer preferences and capitalize upon emerging software technologies. However, the Company may experience difficulties that delay or prevent the development, introduction or market acceptance of its new or enhanced products, or undiscovered software errors, bugs and defects in its products may injure the Company's reputation. Furthermore, these new technologies have also attracted increased competition from outside the traditional automotive industry, and any of these competitors may develop and introduce technologies that gain greater customer or consumer acceptance, which could adversely affect the future growth of the Company.

Warranty claims, product liability claims and product recalls could harm the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company faces the inherent business risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that its products fail to perform as expected or such failure results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury or property damage (or both). In addition, if any of the Company’s designed products are defective or are alleged to be defective, the Company may be required to participate in a recall campaign. The Company’s products contain increasingly significant amounts of software and a successful cyberattack on such products could cause materially adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations and reputation. As suppliers become more integrally involved in the vehicle design process and assume more of the vehicle assembly functions, automakers are increasingly expecting them to warrant their products and are increasingly looking to suppliers for contributions when faced with product liability claims or recalls. A successful warranty or product liability claim against the Company in excess of its available insurance coverage and established reserves, or a requirement that the Company participate in a product recall campaign, could have materially adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company may not realize sales represented by awarded business.

The Company estimates awarded business using certain assumptions, including projected future sales volumes. The OEM customers generally do not guarantee production volumes. In addition, awarded business may include business under arrangements that OEM

customers have the right to terminate without penalty. Therefore, the Company’s actual sales volumes, and thus the ultimate amount of revenue that it derives from such sales, are not committed. If actual production orders from its customers are not consistent with the projections used by the Company in calculating the amount of its awarded business, the Company could realize substantially less revenue over the life of these projects than the projected estimate.

Legislation to address global climate change, including but not limited to CO2 emission restrictions in Europe, may lead to early termination of current production contracts and/or reduced vehicle sales.

The discontinuation or loss of business, or lack of commercial success, with respect to a particular vehicle model for which the Company is a significant supplier could reduce the Company’s sales and harm its profitability.

Although the Company has purchase orders from many of its customers, these purchase orders generally provide for the supply of a customer’s annual requirements for a particular vehicle model and assembly plant, or in some cases, for the supply of a customer’s requirements for the life of a particular vehicle model, rather than for the purchase of a specific quantity of products. In addition, it is possible that customers could elect to manufacture components internally that are currently produced by outside suppliers, such as the Company. The discontinuation of, the loss of business with respect to or a lack of commercial success of a particular vehicle model for which the Company is a significant supplier, could reduce the Company’s sales and harm the Company’s profitability.

Escalating price pressures from customers may adversely affect the Company’s business.

Downward pricing pressures by automotive manufacturers, while characteristic of the automotive industry, are increasing. Virtually all automakers have implemented aggressive price-reduction initiatives and objectives each year with their suppliers, and such actions are expected to continue in the future. In addition, estimating such amounts is subject to risk and uncertainties because any price reductions are a result of negotiations and other factors. Accordingly, suppliers must be able to reduce their operating costs in order to maintain profitability. The Company has taken steps to reduce its operating costs and other actions to offset customer price reductions; however, price reductions have impacted the Company’s sales and profit margins and are expected to continue to do so in the future. If the Company is unable to offset customer price reductions in the future through improved operating efficiencies, new manufacturing processes, sourcing alternatives and other cost-reduction initiatives, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition will likely be adversely affected.

The Company could be negatively impacted by the distress of its supplier or other shortages.

In an effort to manage and reduce the costs of purchased goods and services, the Company, like many suppliers and automakers, has been consolidating its supply base. In addition, certain materials and components used by the Company are in high demand but of limited availability. As a result, the Company is dependent on single or limited sources of supply for certain components used in the manufacture of its products. The Company selects its suppliers based on total value (including price, delivery and quality), taking into consideration production capacities and financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that strong demand, capacity limitations or other problems experienced by the Company’s suppliers will not result in occasional shortages or delays in the supply of components. If the Company were to experience a significant or prolonged shortage of critical components from any of its suppliers, particularly those who are sole sources, and could not procure the components from other sources, the Company would be unable to meet its production schedules for some of its key products or to ship such products to its customers in a timely fashion, which would adversely affect sales, margins and customer relations. Furthermore, unfavorable economic or industry conditions could result in financial distress within the Company's supply base, thereby increasing the risk of supply disruption. Although market conditions generally have improved in recent years, uncertainty remains and another economic downturn or other unfavorable industry conditions in one or more of the regions in which the Company operates could cause a supply disruption and thereby adversely affect the Company's financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

The Company is highly dependent on Ford Motor Company and decreases in this customer’s vehicle production volumes would adversely affect the Company.

Ford is one of the Company’s largest ultimate customers and accounted for 22%, 26% and 28% of sales in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Accordingly, any change in Ford's vehicle production volumes may have a significant impact on the Company’s sales volume and profitability.

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial position.

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that, from time to time, are significant. These are typically claims that arise in the normal course of business including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes (including disputes with suppliers), intellectual property matters, personal injury claims and employment matters. No assurances can be given that such proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s profitability and financial position.

The Company's inability to effectively manage the timing, quality and costs of new program launches could adversely affect its financial performance.

In connection with the award of new business, the Company often obligates itself to deliver new products and services that are subject to its customers’ timing, performance and quality standards. Additionally, as a Tier 1 supplier, the Company must effectively coordinate the activities of numerous suppliers in order to launch programs successfully. Given the complexity of new program launches, especially involving new and innovative technologies, the Company may experience difficulties managing product quality, timeliness and associated costs. In addition, new program launches require a significant ramp up of costs; however, the sales related to these new programs generally are dependent upon the timing and success of the introduction of new vehicles by the Company's customers. The Company's inability to effectively manage the timing, quality and costs of these new program launches could adversely affect its financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

The Company’s ability to effectively operate could be hindered if it fails to attract and retain key personnel.

The Company’s ability to operate its business and implement its strategies effectively depends, in part, on the efforts of its executive officers and other key employees. In addition, the Company’s future success will depend on, among other factors, the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, particularly engineers and other employees with critical expertise and skills that support key customers and products or in emerging regions. The loss of the services of any key employees or the failure to attract or retain other qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights could materially impact its business.

The Company owns significant intellectual property, including a number of patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets and is involved in numerous licensing arrangements. The Company’s intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining its competitive position in a number of the markets served. The Company may utilize intellectual property in its products that requires a license from a third-party. While the Company believes that such licenses generally can be obtained, there is no assurance that the necessary licenses can be obtained on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Failure to obtain the right to use third-party intellectual property could preclude the Company from selling certain products and have materially adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights could materially impact the Company’s business. The Company also derives significant revenue from countries outside the U.S. (including China) and significant intellectual property assets are licensed to joint ventures and customers in foreign jurisdictions. While the Company is not aware of any material intellectual property theft or forced transfer and believes it has appropriate protections in place, if such action were to occur it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Company has continued to see an increase in patent claims related to connectivity-enabled products where other patent-holding companies are seeking royalties and often enter into litigation based on patent infringement allegations. Significant technological developments by others also could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations and financial condition.

A disruption in the Company's information technology systems 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, cyber attack, malicious computer software (malware), 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 intellectual property or trade secrets and unauthorized access to personnel information. To the extent that business is interrupted or data is lost, destroyed or inappropriately used or disclosed, such disruptions could adversely affect the Company’s competitive position, relationships with customers, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

The Company’s pension expense and funding levels of pension plans could materially deteriorate or the Company may be unable to generate sufficient excess cash flow to meet increased pension benefit obligations.

The Company’s assumptions used to calculate pension obligations as of the annual measurement date directly impact the expense to be recognized in future periods. While the Company’s management believes that these assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the Company’s pension obligations and future expense. For more information on sensitivities to changing assumptions, please see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 and Note 14, “Employee Benefit Plans” in Item 8 of this report.

The Company’s expected annual effective tax rate could be volatile and could materially change as a result of changes in mix of earnings and other factors.

Changes in the Company’s debt and capital structure, among other items, may impact its effective tax rate. The Company is in a position whereby losses incurred in certain tax jurisdictions generally provide no current financial statement benefit. In addition, certain jurisdictions have statutory rates greater than or less than the United States statutory rate. As such, changes in the mix and source of earnings between jurisdictions could have a significant impact on the Company’s overall effective tax rate in future periods. Changes in tax law and rates, changes in rules related to accounting for income taxes or adverse outcomes from tax audits that regularly are in process in any of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could also have a significant impact on the Company’s overall effective rate in future periods.

The Company may not be able to fully utilize its U.S. net operating losses and other tax attributes.

Visteon's emergence from bankruptcy in 2010 resulted in a change of ownership within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383, causing the use of Visteon's pre-emergence U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) and various other tax attributes to be limited in the post-emergence period. However, NOLs and other tax attributes generated in the post-emergence period are generally not limited by the emergence from bankruptcy, but could be limited if there is a subsequent change of ownership. If the Company were to have another change of ownership within the meaning of IRC Sections 382 and 383, its post-emergence NOL and other tax attributes could be limited to an amount equal to its market capitalization at the time of the subsequent ownership change multiplied by the federal long-term tax exempt rate. The Company cannot provide any assurance that such an ownership change will not occur, in which case the availability of the Company's NOLs and other tax attributes could be significantly limited or possibly eliminated. Certain tax benefit preservation provisions of its corporate documents could delay or prevent a change of control, even if that change would be beneficial to stockholders.

Recent changes in the U.S. federal income tax rules could adversely affect us and our shareholders.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law, making significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate income tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the migration from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system with a one-time transition tax on cumulative post-1986 foreign earnings, a modification of the characterization and treatment of certain intercompany transactions and the creation of a new U.S. corporate minimum tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company reflected the necessary provisional impact of the Act in our financial statements for 2017, the year of enactment. Since then, the Company has continued to examine the impact the Act may have on its business and has not identified any material adjustments to the previously recorded provisional amounts. The Company urges its shareholders to consult with their legal and tax advisors with respect to the Act and the potential tax consequences of investing in our common stock.

Privacy and security concerns relating to the Company's current or future products and services could damage its reputation and deter current and potential users from using them.

The Company may gain access to sensitive, confidential or personal data or information that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations and customer-imposed controls. Concerns about the Company's practices with regard to the collection, use, disclosure, or security of personal information or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could damage its reputation and adversely affect its operating results.

Furthermore, regulatory authorities around the world are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning cybersecurity and data protection. In addition, the interpretation and application of consumer and data protection laws in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere are often uncertain and in flux. Complying with these various laws could cause the Company to incur substantial costs.

The Company could be negatively impacted by the distress of its supplier or other shortages.

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 one of the Company’s suppliers or any other supplier could have the same consequences, and accordingly, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.

The Company may incur significant restructuring charges.

The Company has taken, and expects to take, restructuring actions to realign its engineering skillset and to realign and resize its production capacity and cost structure to meet current and projected operational and market requirements. Charges related to these actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Moreover, there can be no assurances that any future restructuring will be completed as planned or achieve the desired results.

The Company is subject to significant foreign currency risks and foreign exchange exposure.

As a result of Visteon's global presence, a significant portion of the Company's revenues and expenses is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company is therefore subject to foreign currency risks and foreign exchange exposure. The Company's primary exposures are to the Euro, Japanese Yen, and Chinese Renminbi. While the Company employs financial instruments to hedge transactional foreign exchange exposure, including multi-year contracts, exchange rates are difficult to predict and such actions may not insulate the Company' completely from those exposures. As a result, volatility in certain exchange rates could adversely impact Visteon financial results and comparability of results from period to period.

The Company recognized a pretax loss on divestiture of $105 million during the year ended December 31, 2015, related to foreign currency translation and pension benefit plan amounts previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in 2015. Although the divestiture represented a continuation of the Company’s exit from the Interiors business, the divestiture was not considered a strategic shift given the size of the operations representing $86 million in 2015 sales. Therefore, the operations did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation and operating results prior to the sale were classified within Other as continuing operations.

Executive Summary

Strategic Priorities

Visteon Corporation (the "Company" or "Visteon") is a global automotive supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures innovative cockpit electronics and connected car solutions for the world’s major vehicle manufacturers. The cockpit electronics market is expected to grow faster than underlying vehicle production volumes as the cockpit shifts from analog to digital and towards device and cloud connectivity, electric vehicles and more advanced safety features.

The Company has laid out the following strategic priorities:

•

Technology Innovation - The Company is an established global leader in cockpit electronics and is positioned to provide solutions as the industry transitions to the next generation automotive cockpit experience. The cockpit is becoming fully digital, connected, automated, learning, and voice enabled. Visteon's broad portfolio of cockpit electronics technology and the development of the DriveCore™ advanced safety platform positions Visteon to support these macro trends in automotive.


•	Long-Term Growth and Margin Expansion - Visteon has continued to win an elevated level of business by demonstrating product quality, technical and development capability, new product innovation, reliability, timeliness, product design, manufacturing capability and flexibility, as well as overall customer service.


•	Enhance Shareholder Returns - The Company has returned approximately $3.3 billion to shareholders since 2015 through a combination of ongoing share repurchases and a one time $1.75 billion special dividend in 2016. The Company has $380 million of remaining authorization from the Board of Directors. This authorization is in place through the end of 2020.

Financial Results

The pie charts below highlight the sales breakdown for Visteon for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Global Automotive Market Conditions and Production Levels

During 2019 global light vehicle production decreased 5.6% over the same period last year with declines across all regions from 2018.

Light vehicle production levels for 2019 and 2018 by geographic region are provided below (units in millions):



	Light Vehicle Production
	2019	2018	Change
Global	88.9	94.2	(5.6	)%
China	24.7	26.8	(8.1	)%
Other Asia-Pacific	21.5	22.4	(3.8	)%
Europe	21.1	22.0	(4.0	)%
Americas	19.6	20.4	(3.9	)%
Other	2.0	2.6	(22.3	)%
Source: IHS Automotive

Global production volumes are expected to continue to decline year over year in the first half of 2020, particularly in China, Europe, and Other Asia-Pacific, as these regions continue to face macroeconomic uncertainties and increased regulations. In China, production volumes are expected to decline as a result of continued low consumer confidence, continued uncertainty around the trade dispute with the U.S. and the potential impact of the coronavirus outbreak. Increased emissions regulations are expected to adversely impact industry production volumes in Europe and India. North America is expected to increase slightly in the first half of the year, but certain key customers are forecasted to decline on a year over year basis as they continue to shift from sedans to sport utility vehicles and due to downtime associated with model year changeovers.

Significant highlights of the Company's results for the year ended December 31, 2019 , include the following.


•	The Company recorded sales of $2,945 million representing a decrease of $39 million compared with the year ended December 31, 2018.


•	Gross margin was $324 million or 11.0% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 , compared to $411 million or 13.8% of sales for the same period of 2018.


•	Net income attributable to Visteon was $70 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 , compared to net income of $164 million for the same period of 2018.


•	Total cash was $469 million, including $3 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2019, $2 million higher than $467 million, including $4 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2018.


•	In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company's sales growth, excluding currency and acquisitions, as compared to 2018, outperformed the market by 7%.

* Excludes the impact of currency and the consolidation of VFAE.

Sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $2,945 million, which represents a decrease of $39 million compared with the same period of 2018. Unfavorable currency decreased sales by $59 million, primarily attributable to the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Brazilian Real and Indian Rupee. Net new business, partially offset by unfavorable volumes and mix, increased sales by $22 million. Mix reflects the Company-specific content across programs. The consolidation of a previously non-consolidated affiliate, Changchun Visteon FAWAY Auto Electronics Co., Ltd, ("VFAE"), during the third quarter 2018 increased sales $38 million. Other reductions, primarily associated with customer pricing, decreased sales by $71 million. Design changes and other revenue claims increased sales by $31 million.

Cost of sales increased $48 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, when compared with the same period in 2018. Net new business and mix, partially offset by unfavorable volumes, increased cost of sales by $91 million. Foreign currency decreased cost of sales by $47 million primarily attributable to the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Indian Rupee , Brazilian Real, and Bulgarian Lev. Engineering costs, excluding currency and the consolidation of VFAE, increased cost of sales by $21 million. Favorable cost performance including material, design and usage economics, decreased cost of sales by $49 million in 2019. The consolidation of VFAE during 2018 increased cost of sales $32 million.

A summary of net engineering costs is shown below:



	Year Ended December 31
(In millions)	2019			2018
Gross engineering costs	$	(440	)	$	(431	)
Engineering recoveries	140			145
Engineering costs, net	$	(300	)	$	(286	)

Gross engineering costs relate to forward model program development and advanced engineering activities, and exclude contractually reimbursable engineering costs. Net engineering costs, of $300 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, including the impacts of currency and the consolidation of VFAE, were $14 million higher than the same period of 2018, primarily related to costs to support the Company's new business wins.



	Year Ended December 31
(In millions)	2019					2018
				% of Sales					% of Sales
Sales	$	2,945				$	2,984
Cost of sales, excluding engineering costs	(2,321		)	78.8	%	(2,287		)	76.6	%
Engineering costs, net	(300		)	10.2	%	(286		)	9.6	%
Gross margin	$	324		11.0	%	$	411		13.8	%

The Company's gross margin was $324 million or 11.0% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $411 million or 13.8% of sales for the same period of 2018. Unfavorable volumes, and mix reduced gross margin by $69 million. Unfavorable currency of $12 million reflected the Euro, Brazilian Real, Chinese Renminbi, and Japanese Yen, partially offset by the Bulgarian Lev. Higher net engineering costs, excluding currency and the consolidation of VFAE, decreased gross margin by $21 million. Favorable cost performance of $80 million more than offset annual customer pricing of $71 million. The consolidation of VFAE during the third quarter of 2018 increased gross margin by $6 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $221 million, or 7.5% of sales, and $193 million, or 6.5% of sales, during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase of $28 million is related to higher stock compensation expense due to the 2018 resolution of a legal matter as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies," along with higher incentive compensation costs, bad debt expense, personnel costs, and the consolidation of VFAE, partially offset by favorable currency.

Restructuring Expense

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting two European manufacturing facilities due to the end of life of certain product lines. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $2 million of net restructuring expenses.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting engineering and administrative functions to optimize operations. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded approximately approximately $1 million and $19 million of net restructuring expenses, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded employee severance and termination benefit expenses of approximately $3 million related to legacy employees at a South America facility, and $2 million of net restructuring expenses associated with employees at North America manufacturing facilities, due to the wind-down of certain products. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $1 million of restructuring expense under these programs.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019, was $9 million, representing an increase of $2 million when compared to the same period of 2018. The increase is primarily due to lower interest income on short term investments.

Equity in Net Income of Non-Consolidated Affiliates

Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates was $6 million and $13 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in income is primarily attributable to the Company's equity interest in Yanfeng Visteon Investment Company due to decreases in engineering services, and to the elimination of equity income due to the consolidation of VFAE in the third quarter of 2018.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net consists of the following:

Pension financing benefits, net, include income from return on assets, net of interest costs and other amortization.

Transformation initiatives during the year ended December 31, 2018 include a $4 million benefit related to the resolution of a legal matter as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies."

On September 1, 2018, Visteon acquired an additional 1% ownership interest in VFAE, a former non-consolidated affiliate, resulting in a total 51% controlling interest and a non-cash gain of $4 million as further described in Note 20, "Business Acquisitions."

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes was $24 million for year ended December 31, 2019 and reflects income tax expense related to those countries where the Company is profitable; accrued withholding taxes; ongoing assessments related to the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax benefits; 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, and other non-recurring tax items.

The Company's provision for income taxes decreased $19 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with 2018. The decrease in tax expense includes approximately $15 million primarily attributable to the overall decrease in year-over-year earnings, including changes in the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions, and withholding taxes. During the first quarter of 2019, the closure of tax audits in Germany allowed the Company to initiate a tax planning strategy previously determined not to be prudent. This strategy provided the necessary positive evidence to support the future utilization of a portion of the Company's deferred tax assets in Germany resulting in a $12 million income tax benefit recognized in 2019.

Other changes in the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowances did not materially impact net tax expense during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018. These decreases in the tax provision were partially offset by the $8 million year-over-year increase in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions, primarily attributable by the non-recurrence of a $6 million income tax benefit in connection with uncertain tax positions related to goodwill tax amortization at an affiliate in Asia, and $2 million income tax expense primarily related to certain transfer pricing positions taken between affiliates in Europe and the U.S.

Discontinued Operations

During 2019, the Company recorded a $1 million charge for legal expenses related to former employees at a closed plant in Brazil.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a $3 million benefit related to the resolution of a legal matter as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies." During 2018 the Company recorded a $4 million charge for legal expenses related to former employees at a closed plant in Brazil.

The Company recorded a $4 million income tax benefit during 2018 related to uncertain tax positions in connection with the Climate transaction, resulting from statute expiration.

Net Income

Net income attributable to Visteon was $70 million for the year ended December 31,2019, compared to net income of $164 million for the same period of 2018. The decrease of $94 million includes a decrease in gross margin of $87 million, higher selling, general and administrative expense of $28 million, lower other income, net of $11 million, and lower equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates of $7 million. These decreases were partially offset by lower restructuring expense of $25 million, and lower provision for income taxes of $19 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in Note 3) was $234 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, representing a decrease of $96 million when compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $330 million for the same period of 2018. Unfavorable volumes and mix reduced adjusted EBITDA by $69 million. Foreign currency decreased adjusted EBITDA by $7 million, attributable to the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Brazilian Real and Japanese Yen, partially offset by the Mexican Peso and Bulgarian Lev. Higher net engineering costs, excluding currency and the consolidation of VFAE, decreased adjusted EBITDA by $21 million. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by annual customer pricing of $71 million, which was partially offset by favorable cost performance of $68 million. The consolidation of VFAE, during the third quarter of 2018, increased adjusted EBITDA by $4 million.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Visteon for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

Sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $2,984 million, which represents a decrease of $162 million compared with the same period of 2017. Unfavorable volumes, and product mix, net of new business decreased sales by $151 million. Product mix reflects the Company-specific content across product lines. Favorable currency increased sales by $48 million, primarily attributable to the Euro and Chinese Renminbi, partially offset by the Brazilian Real. The consolidation of a previously non-consolidated affiliate, VFAE, during 2018 increased sales $13 million. Other reductions were primarily associated with customer pricing.

Cost of sales decreased $82 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, when compared with the same period in 2017. Lower volumes and product mix, net of new business decreased cost of sales by $42 million. Foreign currency increased cost of sales by $31 million primarily attributable to the Euro. The consolidation of VFAE during 2018 increased cost of sales $9 million. Cost performance, including material, design and usage economics, lower warranty costs, and a favorable antitrust settlement, partially offset by legal expenses related to former employees at a closed plant in Brazil and non-recurrence of certain intellectual property settlements, decreased cost of sales by $101 million.

A summary of net engineering costs is shown below:



	Year Ended December 31
	2018			2017
	(Dollars in Millions)
Gross engineering costs	$	(431	)	$	(392	)
Engineering recoveries	145			133
Engineering costs, net	$	(286	)	$	(259	)

Gross engineering costs relate to forward model program development and advanced engineering activities, and exclude contractually reimbursable engineering costs. Net engineering costs, of $286 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, including the impacts of currency and the consolidation of VFAE, were $27 million higher than the same period of 2017, primarily related to costs to support the Company's new business wins.



	Year Ended December 31
(In millions)	2018					2017
				% of Sales					% of Sales
Sales	$	2,984				$	3,146
Cost of sales, excluding engineering costs	(2,287		)	76.6	%	(2,396		)	76.2	%
Engineering costs, net	(286		)	9.6	%	(259		)	8.2	%
Gross margin	$	411		13.8	%	$	491		15.6	%

Gross Margin

The Company's gross margin was $411 million or 13.8% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $491 million or 15.6% of sales for the same period of 2017. The $80 million decrease in gross margin included $109 million from unfavorable volumes, and product mix, net of new business. Currency increased gross margin by $17 million as the impact of the Euro and Chinese Renminbi more than offset the impact of the Brazilian Real. The consolidation of VFAE during 2018 increased gross margin by $4 million. Gross margin was impacted by favorable cost performance of $8 million primarily due to favorable material cost efficiencies, lower warranty costs, and a favorable antitrust settlement, partially offset by higher engineering expense, legal expenses related to former employees at a closed plant in Brazil and customer pricing reductions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $193 million, or 6.5% of sales, and $226 million, or 7.2% of sales, during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease of $33 million is related to lower incentive compensation costs, the resolution of a legal matter as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies," and net cost efficiencies, partially offset by higher equity based incentive compensation costs and unfavorable currency.

Restructuring Expense

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting engineering and administrative functions to optimize operations. The Company recorded approximately $19 million of net restructuring expenses in relation to the program and expects to incur up to $25 million under this program.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded employee severance and termination benefit expenses of approximately $3 million related to legacy employees at a South America facility and $2 million of net restructuring expenses associated with employees at North America manufacturing facilities due to the wind-down of certain products.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting engineering and administrative functions to further align the Company's footprint with its core product technologies and customers. The Company has recorded approximately $5 million and $14 million of net restructuring expenses respectively under this program during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Other and Discontinued Operations: During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded $1 million associated with a former European Interiors facility related to settlement of employee severance litigation.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, was $7 million, representing a decrease of $9 million when compared to $16 million for the same period of 2017. The decrease is primarily due to lower effective interest rates on debt and the non-recurrence of 2017 financing fees.

Equity in Net Income of Non-Consolidated Affiliates

Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates was $13 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in income is primarily attributable to the Company's equity interest in Yanfeng Visteon Investment Company due to increases in engineering services.

Loss on Divestiture

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists of the following:



	Year Ended December 31
(In millions)	2018		2017
Pension financing benefits, net	$	13	$	12
Transformation initiatives	4		(2		)
Gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, net	4		4
	$	21	$	14

Pension financing benefits, net, includes income from return on assets net of interest costs and other amortization.

Transformation initiative costs include information technology separation costs, integration of acquired business, and financial and advisory services incurred in connection with the Company's transformation into a pure play cockpit electronics business. During 2018, the Company recognized a $4 million benefit related to the resolution of a legal matter as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies."

During 2017, the Company disposed of its cost method investments resulting in a net pretax gain of $4 million, as further described in Note 6, "Non-Consolidated Affiliates."

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income tax was $43 million for year ended December 31, 2018 and reflects income tax expense related to those countries where the Company is profitable; accrued withholding taxes; ongoing assessments related to the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax benefits; 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, and other non-recurring tax items.

The Company's provision for income taxes decreased $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared with 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to favorable audit developments in connection with uncertain tax positions related to goodwill tax amortization at an affiliate in Asia, $6 million, and the non-recurrence of $3 million adverse valuation allowance assessments in 2017 resulting from revised profit projections primarily in Mexico and France. Other changes in the Company’s deferred tax

asset valuation allowances did not materially impact net tax expense during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017. The decreases in the tax provision were partially offset primarily by the year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate in profitable jurisdictions driven by the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the migration from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, which institutes a dividends received deduction for foreign earnings with a one-time transition tax on cumulative post-1986 foreign earnings, a modification of the characterization and treatment of certain intercompany transactions and creates a new U.S. corporate minimum tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2018, the Company had completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act. The adjustments to the provisional amounts did not have a significant impact to income tax expense due to the U.S. valuation allowance; see Note 15, "Income Taxes" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a $3 million benefit related to the resolution of a legal matter as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies." During 2018 the Company recorded a $4 million charge for judicial deposits related to former employees at a closed plant in Brazil.

The Company recorded a $4 million income tax benefit during 2018 related to uncertain tax positions in connection with the Climate transaction, resulting from statute expiration.

In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company completed the repurchase of the electronics operations located in India during the first quarter of 2017 for $47 million, recognizing a $7 million gain on settlement of purchase commitment contingencies.

In connection with the Interiors Divestiture, the Company negotiated a settlement with the Buyer for certain non-income tax items and recognized a gain on divestiture of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Net Income

Net income attributable to Visteon was $164 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to net income of $176 million for the same period of 2017. The decrease of $12 million is primarily attributable to the decrease in gross margin including unfavorable volumes, higher engineering expense, customer pricing and product mix, partially offset by net new business, improved cost performance and favorable currency. The decrease in gross margin was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expense, and the non-recurrence of a loss on divestiture in 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in Note 3) was $330 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, representing a decrease of $40 million when compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $370 million for the same period of 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to unfavorable volumes, higher engineering expense, customer pricing and product mix, partially offset by net new business, lower selling, general and administrative expense, improved cost performance and favorable currency.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Visteon for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:



	Year Ended December 31

Liquidity

Overview

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, and borrowings under available credit facilities, if necessary. The Company believes that funds generated from these sources will be adequate to fund its liquidity for current business requirements.

A portion of the Company's cash flows from operations are generated outside of the U.S. Accordingly, the Company utilizes a combination of cash repatriation strategies, including dividends, royalties, intercompany loan arrangements and other distributions and advances 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.

The Company's ability to generate operating cash flow 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 year-end shutdowns at key customers.

In the event that the Company's funding requirements exceed cash provided by its operating activities, the Company will meet such requirements by reduction of existing cash balances, by drawing on its Revolving Credit Facility or other affiliate working capital lines, by seeking additional capital through debt or equity markets, or some combination thereof.

Access to additional capital through the debt or equity markets is influenced by the Company's credit ratings. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s corporate credit rating is Ba3 and BB by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, respectively. See Note 12, "Debt" to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a more comprehensive discussion of the Company's debt facilities. Incremental funding requirements of the Company's consolidated foreign entities are primarily accommodated by intercompany arrangements, cash pooling structures, and local working capital facilities. Affiliate working capital lines are primarily used by the Company's consolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2019, these lines had availability of approximately $73 million.

Cash Balances

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had total cash of $469 million, including $3 million of restricted cash. Cash balances totaling $311 million were located in jurisdictions outside of the United States, of which approximately $115 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, but the Company would be required to accrue additional tax expense, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.

Restructuring

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid $15 million related to restructuring activities. See Note 5, "Restructuring Activities" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report for further information.

Other Items Affecting Liquidity

In 2019, the Company purchased 322,120 shares at an average price of $62.06 for an aggregate amount of $20 million of the Company's common stock. For additional informational, see Note 16, "Stockholders' Equity and Non-controlling Interests" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report for further information. As of December 31, 2019, $380 million of authorization remains outstanding through 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, cash contributions to the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans were $8 million. The Company expects to make contributions to its various defined benefit pension plans of $26 million in 2020.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Including discontinued operations, the Company generated $183 million of cash from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $204 million during the same period of 2018, representing a $21 million decrease in cash provided from operations. The decrease in operating cash flows is due to lower net income of $93 million, partially offset by higher depreciation, increased stock based compensation expense, lower equity income of non-consolidated affiliates, net of dividends and other non-cash adjustments totaling $38 million. In addition, improved trade working capital performance of $27 million and favorable changes of other assets and other liabilities of $7 million further reduced the impact of lower net income on net cash from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Including discontinued operations, the Company generated $204 million of net cash from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $215 million during the same period of 2017 representing an $11 million decrease in net cash provided from operations. The decrease in operating cash flows is primarily due to lower net income of $18 million, excluding a 2017 non-cash loss of $33 million and unfavorable changes in other assets and liabilities of $32 million, primarily attributable to incentive compensation payments and increased royalty payments, partially offset by a decrease in China bank notes during 2018. These items are partially offset by favorable changes to trade working capital during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period of 2017 of $73 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $128 million, as compared to $98 million in the same period of 2018, representing an increase in cash used by investing activities of $30 million. Net cash used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $142 million, partially offset by net loan repayment proceeds received from non-consolidated affiliates of $11 million.

Net cash used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $98 million, compared to $173 million in the same period of 2017, representing a reduction of cash used by investing activities of $75 million. Net cash used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018, included capital expenditures of $127, which is partially offset by cash acquired from the consolidation of VFAE of $16 million and $13 million of other net proceeds primarily attributable to the settlement of certain agreements related to the Interiors Divestiture.

Net cash used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 totaled $173 million, compared to net cash provided from investing activities of $302 million in the same period in 2016 for a decrease of $475 million. Net cash used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017, includes the purchase of the India electronics operations associated with the Climate Transaction for $47 million, payments of $48 million primarily related to the Germany Interiors Divestiture and France Transaction and capital expenditures of $99 million. These outflows were partially offset by proceeds for divestitures of equity and cost based investments in China and Europe of $15 million and net investment hedge settlement proceeds of $5 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019, totaled $49 million, compared to $335 million for the same period in 2018, representing a decrease in net cash used by financing activities of $286 million. Lower net cash used by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period 2018 is primarily attributable to lower share repurchase transactions of $280 million.

Net cash used by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018, totaled $335 million, compared to $234 million for the same period in 2017, for an increase in net cash used by financing activities of $101 million. Increased net cash used by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period of 2017 is primarily attributable to higher share repurchase transactions of $100 million. Activity during 2018 also includes dividends paid to non-controlling interests of $28 million, distribution payments of $14 million and proceeds from an increase in short term debt of $12 million.

Net cash used by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017, totaled $234 million, compared to $2,262 million for the same period in 2016, for a decrease in net cash used by financing activities of $2,028 million. Net cash used by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017, included share repurchases of $200 million and dividends paid to non-controlling interests of $38 million.

Debt and Capital Structure

See "Liquidity" above and also see Note 12, "Debt" and Note 16, "Stockholders' Equity and Non-controlling Interests" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report for further information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements in the preparation of its financial statements, utilizing various inputs including those that can be readily observable, corroborated or are generally unobservable. The Company utilizes market-based data and valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Additionally, the Company applies assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. See Note 18, "Fair Value Measurements" to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 for additional information.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Company's contractual obligations existing as of December 31, 2019:



(In millions)	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Debt	$	387	$	37	$	—	$	—	$	350
Purchase obligations	97		54		39		4		—
Interest payments on long-term debt	44		10		21		13		—
Operating leases, including imputed interest	195		36		55		46		58
Total contractual obligations	$	723	$	137	$	115	$	63	$	408

Excluded from the contractual obligations table above are open purchase orders as of December 31, 2019, for raw materials and supplies in the normal course of business, joint venture agreements and other contracts without express funding requirements.

This table excludes amounts related to the Company's income tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions impacting the effective rate of $6 million as the Company is unable to make reasonable estimates for the periods in which these liabilities may become due.

The Company also has certain funding requirements with respect to its various defined benefit pension plans globally. The Company intends to satisfy the funding requirements related to these plans over time.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies have been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes under Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report for further information. Certain policies relate to estimates that involve matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and different estimates or changes to an estimate could have a material impact on the reported financial position, changes in financial condition or results of operations. Such critical estimates are discussed below. For these, materially different amounts could be reported under varied conditions and assumption. Other items in the Company's consolidated financial statements require estimation, however, in our judgment, they are not as critical as those discussed below.

Revenue Recognition

Product Warranty and Recall

The Company accrues for warranty obligations for products sold based on management estimates, with support from the Company’s sales, engineering, quality and legal functions, of the amount that eventually will be required to settle such obligations. This accrual is based on several factors, including contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations. The Company accrues for product recall claims related to potential financial participation in customer actions to provide remedies as a result of actual or threatened regulatory or court actions or the Company’s determination of the potential for such actions. The Company's accrual for recall claims is based on specific facts and circumstances underlying individual claims with support from the Company’s engineering, quality and legal functions. Amounts accrued are based upon management’s best estimate of the amount that will ultimately be required to settle such claims. See Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies" in Item 8 of this Report for additional information.

Restructuring

The Company accrued costs in connection with its restructuring of the engineering, administration organization and manufacturing. These accruals include estimates primarily related to employee headcount, local statutory benefits, and other employee termination costs. Actual costs may vary from these estimates. These accruals are reviewed on a quarterly basis and changes to restructuring actions are appropriately recognized when identified. See Note 5, “Restructuring Activities” in Item 8 of this Report for additional information.

Pension Plans

Many of the Company’s employees participate in defined benefit pension plans or retirement/termination indemnity plans. The Company has approximately $276 million in unfunded net pension liabilities as of December 31, 2019, of which approximately $208 million and $68 million are attributable to U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively. The determination of the Company’s obligations and expense for its pension plans is dependent on the Company’s selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Selected assumptions are described in Note 14, “Employee Benefit Plans” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference, including the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and rate of increase in compensation.

Actual results that differ from assumptions used are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, accordingly, generally affect recognized expense in future periods. Therefore, assumptions used to calculate benefit obligations as of the annual measurement date directly impact the expense to be recognized in future periods. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s accounting for employee benefits, as of December 31, 2019, are as follows:

•

Long-term rate of return on plan assets: The expected long-term rate of return is used to calculate net periodic pension cost. The required use of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets may result in recognized returns that are greater or less than the actual returns on those plan assets in any given year. Over time the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is designed to approximate actual returns. The expected long-term rate of return for pension assets has been estimated based on various inputs, including historical returns for the different asset classes held by the Company’s trusts and its asset allocation, as well as inputs from internal and external sources regarding expected capital market returns, inflation and other variables.

In determining its pension expense for 2019, the Company used long-term rates of return on plan assets. For U.S. plans, the Company used an expected rate of return of 6.78%. For non-U.S. plans, the Company used expected rates of return ranging from 2.6% to 8.95%. The Company has set the long-term rates of return assumptions for its 2020 pension expense which range from 2.0% to 7.25% outside the U.S. and 6.6% in the U.S. Actual returns on U.S. pension assets for 2019, 2018 and 2017 were 19.9%, (4.5%) and 16.1%, respectively.

•

Discount rate: The Company uses the spot rate method to estimate the 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 an approach that discounts individual expected cash flows underlying interest and service costs using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The discount rate assumption is based on market rates for a hypothetical portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds rated Aa or better with maturities closely matched to the timing of projected benefit payments for each plan at its annual measurement date. The Company used discount rates ranging from 0.45% to 8.95% to determine its pension and other benefit obligations as of December 31, 2019, including weighted average discount rates of 3.34% for U.S. pension plans and 2.39% for non-U.S. pension plan.

While the Company believes that these assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the Company’s pension benefit obligations and its future expense. The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in certain assumptions for Company sponsored U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on its 2019 funded status and 2020 pretax pension expense.



	Impact on U.S. 2020 Pretax Pension Expense	Impact on U.S. Plan 2019 Funded Status	Impact on Non-U.S. 2020 Pretax Pension Expense	Impact on Non-U.S. Plan 2019 Funded Status
25 basis point decrease in discount rate (a)(b)	Less than -$1 million	-$27 million	Less than -$1 million	-$13 million
25 basis point increase in discount rate (a)(b)	Less than + $1 million	+$26 million	Less than +$1 million	+$14 million
25 basis point decrease in expected return on assets (a)	+$1.6 million		Less than +$1 million
25 basis point increase in expected return on assets (a)	-$1.6 million		Less than -$1 million
(a) Assumes all other assumptions are held constant.
(b) Excludes impact of assets used to hedge discount rate volatility.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when, based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. This assessment, which is completed on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, requires significant judgment, and in making this evaluation, the evidence considered by the Company includes, historical and projected financial performance, as well as the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses along with any other pertinent information.

In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, there are many transactions and calculations where the final tax determination is uncertain. The Company is regularly audited by tax authorities. Where appropriate, the Company accrues for contingencies related to income tax risks and non-income tax risks. See Note 15, "Income Taxes" in Item 8 of this Report for additional information.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements in the preparation of its financial statements, utilizing various inputs including those that can be readily observable, corroborated or are generally unobservable. The Company utilizes market-based data and valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Additionally, the Company applies assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. See Note 18, "Fair Value Measurements" in Item 8 of this Report for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained or incorporated in this Annual Report on Form 10-K which are not statements of historical fact constitute “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events. Words such as “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance signify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and estimates, which are subject to risks and uncertainties including those discussed in Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements represent the Company’s estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. The Company does not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the statement is made and qualifies all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

You should understand that various factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this document, could affect the Company’s future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements, including:


•	Visteon’s ability to satisfy its future capital and liquidity requirements; Visteon’s ability to access the credit and capital markets at the times and in the amounts needed and on terms acceptable to Visteon; Visteon’s ability to comply with covenants applicable to it; and the continuation of acceptable supplier payment terms.


•	Visteon’s ability to satisfy its pension and other postretirement employee benefit obligations, and to retire outstanding debt and satisfy other contractual commitments, all at the levels and times planned by management.

•	Visteon’s ability to compete favorably with automotive parts suppliers with lower cost structures and greater ability to rationalize operations; and to exit non-performing businesses on satisfactory terms, particularly due to limited flexibility under existing labor agreements.


•	Restrictions in labor contracts with unions that restrict Visteon’s ability to close plants, divest unprofitable, noncompetitive businesses, change local work rules and practices at a number of facilities and implement cost-saving measures.


•	The costs and timing of facility closures or dispositions, business or product realignments, or similar restructuring actions, including potential asset impairment or other charges related to the implementation of these actions or other adverse industry conditions and contingent liabilities.


•	Significant changes in the competitive environment in the major markets where Visteon procures materials, components or supplies or where its products are manufactured, distributed or sold.


•	Legal and administrative proceedings, investigations and claims, including shareholder class actions, inquiries by regulatory agencies, product liability, warranty, employee-related, environmental and safety claims and any recalls of products manufactured or sold by Visteon.

Item 7A.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 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. Where possible, the Company utilizes 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. The Company’s current primary hedged foreign currency exposures include the Japanese Yen, Euro and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies. The Company's policy requires that hedge transactions relate to a specific portion of the exposure not to exceed the aggregate amount of the underlying transaction.

In addition to the transactional exposure described above, the Company's operating results are impacted by the translation of its foreign operating income into U.S. dollars. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate this exposure.

The hypothetical pretax gain or loss in fair value from a 10% favorable or adverse change in quoted currency exchange rates would be approximately $32 million for foreign currency derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. 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 19, "Financial Instruments" to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 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.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive and financial officers of the Company, an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was conducted based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“the COSO 2013 Framework”) of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the evaluation performed under the COSO 2013 Framework as of December 31, 2019, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. Additionally, Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Visteon Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Visteon Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule included in Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 20, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.



		Revenue Recognition
Description of the Matter		As discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company’s sales contracts with its customers may provide for discrete price adjustments during the vehicle production period in order for the Company to remain competitive with market prices or based on changes in production specifications. Some of these price adjustments are non-routine in nature and require estimation. In the event the Company concludes that a portion of the revenue for a given part may vary from the purchase order, the Company records consideration at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled based on historical experience and input from customer negotiations. Auditing the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for certain of its products which are subject to non-routine price adjustments is highly judgmental due to changes in production specifications and commercial negotiations with customers throughout the life of the production periods.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit		We identified and tested controls relating to the identification and evaluation of non-routine pricing adjustments including management’s evaluation of the commercial facts and circumstances to support the most likely consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Our audit procedures included, among others, inspecting communications between the Company and its customers related to the pricing arrangements, making inquiries of the sales representatives who are responsible for negotiations with customers, testing any subsequent adjustments for appropriate amount and timing, obtaining written representations from management regarding customer agreements, and performing retrospective reviews of management’s estimates to identify any contrary evidence.
		Income Taxes - Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets
Description of the Matter		As more fully described in Note 15, Income Taxes, as of December 31, 2019, the Company had deferred tax assets of $198 million (net of valuation allowances totaling $1,132 million, comprised of $768 million in the U.S. and $364 million in foreign jurisdictions, primarily Germany and France). Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management’s analysis of the realizability of its deferred tax assets was critical to our audit because the assessment process by jurisdiction is complex, involves judgment, and includes assumptions that may be affected by future market or economic conditions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit		We tested controls that address the risks of material misstatement relating to the realizability of deferred tax assets, including controls over management’s projections of future taxable income, the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and management’s identification and use of tax planning strategies. We evaluated the Company’s assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets and the resulting valuation allowance. Our audit procedures included testing the calculations of existing temporary book-tax differences. We also tested the Company’s scheduling of the reversal of existing temporary taxable differences by jurisdiction and of the appropriate character of income. We evaluated the assumptions used by the Company to develop projections of future taxable income by jurisdiction and tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in its projections. For example, we compared the projections of future taxable income with the actual results of prior periods as well as management’s consideration of current industry and economic trends. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s projections and reconciled the projections of future income with other forecasted financial information prepared by the Company. Lastly, we involved our tax specialists to evaluate the application of tax law in the Company’s use of tax planning strategies.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Visteon Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Visteon Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Visteon Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the 2019 consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated February 20, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: Visteon Corporation (the "Company" or "Visteon") financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

i Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 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 does not exercise control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All other equity investments are measured at cost, less impairment, with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

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.

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

Revenue Recognition: The Company generates revenue from the production of automotive vehicle cockpit electronics parts sold to OEMs, or Tier 1 suppliers at the direction of the OEM, under long term supply agreements supporting new vehicle production. Such agreements may also require related production for service parts, subsequent to initial vehicle production periods.

The Company’s contracts with customers involve various governing documents (Sourcing Agreements, Master Purchase Agreements, Terms and Conditions Agreements, etc.) which do not reach the level of a performance obligation of the Company until the Company receives either a purchase order and/or a customer release for a specific number of parts at a specified price, at which point the collective group of documents represent an enforceable contract. While the long term supply agreements generally range from three to five years, customers make no commitments to volumes, and pricing or specifications can change prior to or during production. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the parts produced are transferred to the customer according to the terms of the contract, which is usually when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer’s premises. Customers are generally invoiced upon shipment or delivery and payment generally occurs within 45 to 90 days. Customers in China are often invoiced one month after shipment or delivery. Customer returns, when they occur, relate to quality rework issues and are not connected to any repurchase obligation of the Company. As of December 31, 2019, all unfulfilled performance obligations are expected to be fulfilled within the next twelve months.

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price and the quantity of parts specified in a contract with a customer. Discrete price adjustments may occur during the vehicle production period in order for the Company to remain competitive with market prices or based on changes in product specifications. Some of these price adjustments are non-routine in nature and require estimation. In the event the Company concludes that a portion of the revenue for a given part may vary from the purchase order, the Company records consideration at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled based on historical experience and input from customer negotiations. The Company records such estimates within Sales and Accounts receivable, net, within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The Company adjusts its pricing reserves at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. In 2019, revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods represented less than i 1% of consolidated sales. The Company's customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry. The Company's contracts with its customers do not have significant financing components.

The Company does not have an enforceable right to payment at any time prior to when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer; therefore, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a part to the customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping

/ /

and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of the parts has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales.

Foreign Currency: Assets and liabilities for most of the Company’s non-U.S. businesses are translated into U.S. Dollars at end-of-period exchange rates, income and expense accounts of the Company’s non-U.S. businesses are translated into U.S. Dollars at average-period exchange rates, and the related translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") in the consolidated balance sheets.

The effects of remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities of the Company’s businesses denominated in currencies other than their functional currency are recorded as transaction gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded as transaction gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations. Net transaction gains and losses, inclusive of amounts associated with discontinued operations, decreased net income by $ i 3 million, $ i 6 million and $ i 9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 respectively.

/ i

Restructuring Expense: The Company defines restructuring expense to include costs directly associated with exit or disposal activities. Such costs include employee severance and termination benefits, special termination benefits, contract termination fees and penalties, and other exit or disposal costs. In general, the Company records involuntary employee-related exit and disposal costs when there is a substantive plan for employee severance and related costs are probable and estimable. For one-time termination benefits (i.e., no substantive plan) and employee retention costs, expense is recorded when the employees are entitled to receive such benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Contract termination fees and penalties and other exit and disposal costs are generally recorded when incurred.

Debt Issuance Costs: The costs related to issuance or modification of long-term debt are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of each respective debt issue. Deferred amounts associated with debt extinguished prior to maturity are expensed upon extinguishment.

Other Costs within Cost of Sales: Repair and maintenance costs, research and development costs, and pre-production operating costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include salary and related employee benefits, contractor fees, information technology, occupancy, telecommunications, depreciation, forward model program development, and advanced engineering activities. Research and development expenses were $ i 300 million, $ i 286 million, and $ i 253 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which includes recoveries of $ i 140 million, $ i 146 million and $ i 133 million. Shipping and handling costs are recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations as "Cost of sales."

Other Income (Expense), Net:



	Year Ended December 31
(In millions)	2019		2018		2017
Pension financing benefits, net	$	i 10	$	i 13	$	i 12
Transformation initiatives	—		i 4		( i 2		)
Gain on non-consolidated transactions, net	i —		i 4		i 4
	$	i 10	$	i 21	$	i 14

Pension financing benefits, net include return on assets net of interest costs and other amortization.

During 2018, the Company recognized a $ i 4 million benefit on settlement of litigation matters with the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer (“former CEO”) as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies."

During 2017, transformation initiative costs include information technology separation costs, integration of acquired businesses, and financial and advisory services incurred in connection with the Company's transformation into a pure play cockpit electronics business.

On September 1, 2018, Visteon acquired an additional i 1% ownership interest in VFAE, a former non-consolidated affiliate, resulting in a total i 51% controlling interest and a non-cash gain of $ i 4 million as further described in Note 20, "Business Acquisitions."

The gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions for 2017 represents the Company's sale of three cost method investments and an equity method investment as further described in Note 6, "Non-Consolidated Affiliates."

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Visteon: Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Visteon, by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding after deducting undistributed income allocated to participating securities. Performance based share units are considered contingently issuable shares, and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share if their conditions have been satisfied as if the reporting date was the end of the contingency period.

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 December 31, 2019 the Company's cash balances are invested in a diversified portfolio of cash and highly liquid 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.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents amounts designated for uses other than current operations and includes $ i 2 million related to a Letter of Credit Facility, and $ i 1 million related to cash collateral for other corporate purposes as of December 31, 2019.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are stated at the invoiced amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated amounts not expected to be collected, and do not bear interest. The Company’s accounts receivables are continually assessed for collectability and any allowance is recorded based upon the age of outstanding receivables, historical payment experience and customer creditworthiness. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $ i 10 million and $ i 6 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Provisions for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable of $ i 5 million, $ i 2 million and $ i 3 million are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

The Company exchanges a portion of its accounts receivable for bank notes for certain of its customers in China. The collection on such bank notes are included in operating cash flows based on the substance of the underlying transactions, which are operating in nature. The Company may hold such bank notes until maturity, exchange them with suppliers to settle liabilities, or sell them to third party financial institutions in exchange for cash. The Company has entered into arrangements with financial institutions to sell certain bank notes, generally maturing within nine months. Bank notes are sold with recourse, but qualify as a sale as all rights to the notes have passed to the financial institution.

/ i

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis, or market. Cost includes the cost of materials, direct labor, in-bound freight and the applicable share of manufacturing overhead. The cost of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolete inventories based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage.

Product Tooling: Product tooling includes molds, dies and other tools used in production of a specific part or parts of the same basic design. It is generally required that non-reimbursable design and development costs for products to be sold under long-term supply arrangements be expensed as incurred and costs incurred for molds, dies and other tools that will be owned by the Company or its customers and used in producing the products under long-term supply arrangements be capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the expected useful life of the assets or the term of the supply arrangement. Product tooling owned by the Company is capitalized as property and equipment and is amortized to cost of sales over its estimated economic life, generally not exceeding six years. The Company had receivables of $ i 31 million and $ i 22 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to product tools in progress, which will not be owned by the Company and for which there is a contractual agreement for reimbursement from the customer.

/ i

Contractually Reimbursable Engineering Costs: Engineering, testing and other costs incurred in the design and development of production parts are expensed as incurred, unless the cost reimbursement is contractually guaranteed in a customer contract for which costs are capitalized as costs are incurred and subsequently reduced upon lump sum or piece price recoveries.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost or fair value for impaired assets. Property and equipment is depreciated principally using the straight-line method of depreciation over the related asset's estimated useful life. Generally, buildings and improvements are depreciated over a i 40-year estimated useful life, leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term period, and machinery, equipment and other are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from i 3 to i 15 years. Certain costs incurred in the acquisition or development of software for internal use are capitalized. Capitalized software costs are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives generally ranging from i 3 to i 5 years.

Asset impairment charges are recorded for assets held-in-use when events and circumstances indicate that such assets may not be recoverable and the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds fair value. Fair value is determined using appraisals, management estimates or discounted cash flow calculations. The Company classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan of sale, generally following board of director approval, and it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year. The carrying value of assets and liabilities held for sale is recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell, and the recording of depreciation is ceased.

Leases: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current lease liabilities, and non-current lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are not material and are included in property and equipment, short-term debt and long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on corporate rates. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements containing lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

i Goodwill: The Company performs either a qualitative or quantitative assessment of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. The qualitative assessment considers several factors at the reporting unit level including the excess of fair value over carrying value as of the last quantitative impairment test, the length of time since the last fair value measurement, the current carrying value, market and industry metrics, actual performance compared to forecast performance, and the Company's current outlook on the business. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the reporting unit is quantitatively tested for impairment. To quantitatively test goodwill for impairment, the fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the carrying value. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value. Management has tested for impairment and concluded that no impairment exists as of December 31, 2019.

Intangible Assets: Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, and tested for impairment in

accordance with the methodology discussed above under "Property and Equipment."Definite-lived intangible assets include:


•	Developed technology intangible assets, which are amortized over average, estimated useful lives generally ranging from i 6 to i 12 years.


•	Customer-related intangible assets, which are amortized over average, estimated useful lives generally ranging from i 7 to i 12 years.


•	Software development costs are capitalized after the software product development reaches technological feasibility and until the software product becomes releasable to customers. These intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives generally ranging from i 3 to i 5 years.


•	Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives based on the nature of the intangible asset.

/ i

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. For further detail on the Company’s warranty obligations see Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies."

Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation

allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. This assessment requires judgment, and must be done on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, all available positive and negative evidence, including historical and projected financial performance, is considered along with any other pertinent information.

Value Added Taxes: The Company follows a net basis policy with regard to value added taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities, which excludes them from both net sales and expenses.

Fair Value Measurements: The Company uses fair value measurements in the preparation of its financial statements, which utilize various inputs including those that can be readily observable, corroborated or are generally unobservable. The Company utilizes market-based data and valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Additionally, the Company applies assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

Financial Instruments: The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including forward contracts, swaps, and options to manage exposures to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company's policy specifically prohibits the use of derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

Business Combinations: In accounting for business combinations, the purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management's judgment, the utilization of independent appraisal firms and often involves the use of estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future cash flows, market rate assumptions, actuarial assumptions, and appropriate discount rates, among other items.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, “Leases (Subtopic 842).” The standard increases the transparency and comparability of organizations by recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and disclosing key quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. In transition, the standard provides for certain practical expedients. Management elected certain practical expedients including the election not to reassess existing or expired contracts to determine if such contracts contain a lease or if the lease classification would differ, as well as the election not to separate lease and non-lease components for arrangements where the Company is a lessee.

The Company adopted the standard January 1, 2019, by applying the modified retrospective method without restatement of comparative periods' financial information, as permitted by the transition guidance. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases in the consolidated balance sheet of approximately $ i 172 million and $ i 176 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The Company's accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged under the new guidance and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows. For additional information, refer to Note 11, "Leases."

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)." This standard provides an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings due to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate change in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act"). The Company adopted the standard January 1, 2019 and elected to reclassify stranded amounts related to the Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. However, due to the U.S. valuation allowance, there were no stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of the enactment date, and thus, no amount to reclassify to retained earnings.

Effective January 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, the impact of applying the standard is recognized as a cumulative effect on retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the year ended December 31, 2018. Comparative information for periods prior to adoption have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Effective January 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost." The ASU requires entities to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Entities will present the other components separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, and disclose the line(s) used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if the components are not presented separately in the income statement. The standard was applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the components of pension financing costs in the income statement, and prospectively for the guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company previously recorded service cost with other compensation costs (benefits) in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Adoption of the standard resulted in the reclassification of other compensation costs (benefits) in "Other income (expense), net." The Company's retrospective adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 resulted in an $ i 8 million increase to cost of sales and a $ i 4 million increase to selling, general and administrative expenses, with a corresponding $ i 12 million increase in "Other income (expense), net" with no impact to net income for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Accounting Pronouncements Effective After 2019: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The guidance requires that for most financial assets, losses be based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.The Company considered historical experience and current conditions and concluded that the application of this accounting standard does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2020.

NOTE 3. Segment Information

Financial results for the Company's reportable segment 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 maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segment primarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments, Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below) and operating assets. As the Company has one reportable segment, total assets, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures are equal to consolidated results.

The accounting policies for the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Key financial measures reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker are as follows.

Segment Sales

Segment Sales were $ i 2,945 million, $ i 2,984 million and $ i 3,146 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

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, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, loss on divestiture, provision for income taxes, discontinued operations, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. The Company has changed the presentation of the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Visteon Corporation, due to the adoption of ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost."

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

Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $ i 234 million, $ i 330 million and $ i 370 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Visteon for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

NOTE 5. Restructuring Activities

The Company has undertaken various restructuring activities to achieve its strategic and financial objectives. Restructuring activities include, but are not limited to, plant closures, production relocation, administrative cost structure realignment and consolidation of available capacity and resources. The Company expects to finance restructuring programs through cash on hand, cash generated from operations, reimbursements pursuant to customer accommodation and support agreements or through cash available under its existing debt agreements, subject to the terms of applicable covenants. Restructuring costs are recorded as elements of a plan are finalized and the timing of activities and the amount of related costs are not likely to change. However, such costs are estimated based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. In general, management anticipates that restructuring activities will be completed within a time frame such that significant changes to the plan are not likely. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially estimated.

Including amounts associated with discontinued operations, the Company recorded net restructuring expenses of $ i 3 million, $ i 30 million and $ i 14 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Significant restructuring programs are summarized below by product group.

Electronics

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting engineering and administrative functions to improve the Company’s efficiency and optimize its footprint. The Company expects to incur costs between $ i 18 million and $ i 24 million related to this action.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting engineering and administrative functions to optimize operations. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded approximately approximately $ i 1 million and $ i 19 million of net restructuring expenses. As of December 31, 2019, approximately $ i 5 million remains accrued and the program is considered substantially complete.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded employee severance and termination benefit expenses of approximately $ i 3 million related to legacy employees at a South America facility and $ i 2 million of net restructuring expenses associated with employees at North America manufacturing facilities due to the wind-down of certain products. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $ i 1 million of restructuring expense under the programs and approximately $ i 3 million remains accrued as of December 31, 2019.

During 2016, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting engineering and administrative functions to further align the Company's footprint with its core product technologies and customers. The Company has recorded approximately $ i 5 million and $ i 14 million of net restructuring expenses, respectively under this program during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company has recorded approximately $ i 45 million of restructuring expenses since inception of this program and it is considered complete.

Other and Discontinued Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded approximately $ i 1 million associated with a former European Interiors facility related to settlement of employee severance litigation.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has retained restructuring reserves as part of the Company's divestiture of the majority of its global Interiors business (the "Interiors Divestiture") of approximately $ i 2 million, associated with previously announced programs for the fundamental reorganization of operations at facilities in Brazil and France.

Restructuring Reserves

Restructuring reserve balances of $ i 10 million and $ i 23 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are classified as Other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company anticipates that the activities associated with the restructuring reserve balance as of December 31, 2019 will be substantially complete within one year. The Company’s consolidated restructuring reserves and related activity are summarized below including amounts associated with discontinued operations.

Given the economically-sensitive and highly competitive nature of the automotive industry, the Company continues to closely monitor current market factors, industry trends and opportunities to streamline the Company's operations, 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.

NOTE 6. Non-Consolidated Affiliates

Non-Consolidated Affiliate Transactions

On October 15, 2018, the Company completed the purchase of a 12.5% equity investment in a private radar imaging firm for $1 million, as further described in Note 18, "Fair Value Measurements."

On September 1, 2018, Visteon acquired an additional i 1% ownership interest in VFAE resulting in a total i 51% controlling interest and a non-cash gain of $ i 4 million, classified as "Other income (expense), net", as further described in Note 20, "Business Acquisitions."

During 2017, the Company completed the sale and disposal of its i 50% interest in an equity method investment for proceeds of $ i 7 million, consistent with its carrying value.

During 2017, the Company disposed of its remaining cost method investments for proceeds of approximately $ i 8 million and recorded a net pretax gain of $ i 4 million, classified as "Other income (expense), net" during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Investments in Affiliates

The Company recorded equity in the net income of non-consolidated affiliates of $ i 6 million, $ i 13 million and $ i 7 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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 an “other-than-temporary” decline in value has occurred, an impairment loss will be recorded,

which is measured as the difference between the recorded book value and the fair value of the investment. As of December 31, 2019, the Company determined that no such indicators were present.

Variable Interest Entities

Visteon and Yangfeng Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. ("YF") each own 50% of a joint venture under the name of Yanfeng Visteon Investment Co., Ltd. ("YFVIC"). In October 2014, YFVIC completed the purchase of YF’s 49% direct ownership in Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd ("YFVE") a consolidated joint venture of the Company ("The YFVIC Transaction"). The purchase by YFVIC was financed through a shareholder loan from YF and external borrowings, guaranteed by Visteon, were paid in 2019.

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 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.

Capitalized software development consists of software development costs intended for integration into customer products.

The Company recorded approximately $ i 16 million, $ i 15 million and $ i 13 million of amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company currently estimates annual amortization expense to be $ i 16 million for each of the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, $ i 13 million for 2023, and $ i 6 million for 2024.

During 2018, in connection with the VFAE acquisition, the Company recorded customer related intangible assets of $ i 7 million. These definite lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of i 10 to i 12 years. Additionally, the Company recorded goodwill of $ i 2 million for the excess of the total consideration over the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. These gross additions were partially offset by foreign currency related impacts in Customer related and Other intangibles of $ i 5 million and $ i 1 million, respectively.

During 2017, the Company contributed $ i 2 million to American Center for Mobility, a non-profit corporation who is building a state of the art research and development facility. The contribution provides the Company certain rights regarding access to the facility for three years. The Company will use the facility for autonomous driving research and development activities for multiple products and therefore capitalized the contribution as an intangible asset. The Company made a second contribution of $ i 2 million during the third quarter of 2018 when the facility was substantially complete. The $ i 4 million intangible asset, classified as "Other", is being amortized over a i 36 month period on a straight-line basis beginning in January 2018 when the term of the arrangement began.

During 2019, the Company amended royalty agreements with certain suppliers as part of cost reduction efforts. The Company recorded $ i 17 million in other current assets and $ i 11 million in other non-current assets, with an offsetting amount of $ i 20 million in accounts payable and $ i 13 million in other non-current liabilities as of December 31, 2019. The Company recorded approximately $ i 5 million of royalty expense during 2019 associated with such arrangements.

In conjunction with the Interiors Divestiture, the Company entered into a three year term loan with the buyer, classified as "Joint venture note receivable" with an original maturity of December 1, 2019. This loan was settled, prior to maturity, including $ i 1 million of interest income.

Current and non-current contractually reimbursable engineering costs of $ i 29 million and $ i 24 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019, and $ i 40 million and $ i 29 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018, are related to pre-production design and development costs incurred pursuant to long-term supply arrangements that are contractually guaranteed for reimbursement by customers. The Company expects to receive cash reimbursement payments of approximately $ i 29 million in 2020, $ i 10 million in 2021, $ i 8 million in 2022, $ i 3 million in 2023 and $ i 3 million in 2024 and beyond.

NOTE 11. Leases

The Company has operating leases primarily for corporate offices, technical and engineering centers, customer centers, vehicles and certain equipment. As of December 31, 2019 assets and related accumulated depreciation recorded under finance leasing arrangements were not material.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new lease standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. The Company elected to combine

lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) with non-lease components (e.g., fixed common-area maintenance costs). The Company also elected to apply the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing the Company to carry forward its current accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements.

Certain leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 30 years or more, leases may also include options to purchase the leased property or to terminate the leases. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

Certain of the Company's lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically primarily for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties, which primarily consists of operating leases related to the Company’s principal executive offices in Van Buren Township, Michigan.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company must estimate the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from Visteon's Term Loan B floating rate converted to a fixed rate utilizing the prevailing US swap curve to arrive at the equivalent fixed rates that have similar duration to the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is applied to the tranches of leases based on lease term, regardless of the asset class. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate were i 7 years and i 4.5%, respectively.

The components of lease expense is as follows:

Long-Term Debt:

Short-Term Debt

Short-term borrowings are primarily related to the Company's non-U.S. joint venture and are payable in Chinese Renminbi.

Available borrowings on outstanding affiliate credit facilities as of December 31, 2019, are approximately $ i 73 million and certain of these facilities have pledged assets as security.

Long-Term Debt

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had an amended credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which included a $ i 350 million Term Facility maturing April 9, 2021 and a Revolving Credit Facility with capacity of $ i 200 million maturing April 9, 2019.

During 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment of the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity dates of both facilities by three years and increase the Revolving Credit Facility capacity to $ i 300 million. The amended Revolving Credit Facility and the amended Term Facility were extended to mature on March 24, 2022 and March 24, 2024, respectively. The amendment reduced the LIBOR spread applicable to both the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Facility by i 0.50% and reduced the LIBOR floor related to the Term Facility from i 0.75% to i 0.00%.

During 2017, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement. This amendment reduced the margin applicable to loans under the amended Term Facility. The Amendment did not modify any terms specifically pertaining to the Revolving Credit Facility.

During 2018, the Company entered into a fourth amendment of its Credit Agreement to further reduce the margin on applicable to loans under the Term Facility. At the Company’s option, Term Facility loans under the amended Credit Agreement shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the applicable annualized domestic base rate plus an applicable margin of i 0.75% or the LIBOR-based rate plus an applicable margin of i 1.75% per annum.

On December 19, 2019, the Company executed a fifth amendment of its Credit Agreement. The amendment makes certain modifications specifically pertaining to the Revolving Credit Facility, including an extension of the facility’s maturity date to December 24, 2024 and an increase in aggregate principal amount committed under the facility to $ i 400 million.

The Company is required to pay accrued interest on any outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement with a frequency of the lesser of the LIBOR tenor or every three months. Any outstanding principal is due upon the applicable maturity date. The Company may also terminate or reduce any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, upon three business days’ notice.

The Revolving Credit Facility also provides $ i 75 million availability for the issuance of letters of credit and a maximum of $ i 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) excess cash flow sweeps above certain leverage thresholds, (ii) certain asset sales or other dispositions, (iii) certain refinancing of indebtedness and (iv) over-advances under the Revolving Credit Facility. There are no excess cash flow sweeps required at the Company’s current leverage level.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply 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 i 3.50: i 1.00. During any period when the Company’s corporate and family ratings meet investment grade ratings, certain of the negative covenants shall be suspended. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement and obligations in respect of certain cash management services and swap agreements with the lenders and their affiliates 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 (subject to certain exceptions) on substantially all property of the Company and the subsidiaries party to the security agreement, subject to certain limitations.

In connection with the various amendments of the Credit Agreement, the Company recorded $ i 1 million of interest expense and deferred $ i 3 million of costs as a non-current asset. The deferred costs are being amortized over the term of the debt facilities. As of December 31, 2019, the Term Facility remains at $ i 350 million of aggregate principal and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Other

During 2017, the Company amended certain terms of its letter of credit facility. The amended agreement reduced the facility amount from $ i 15 million to $ i 5 million and extended the expiration date by three years to September 30, 2020. Under the agreement the Company is required to maintain a collateral account equal to i 103% of the aggregate stated amount of issued letters of credit (or i 110% for non-U.S. currencies) and must reimburse any amounts drawn under issued letters of credit. The Company had $ i 2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility secured by restricted cash, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Additionally, the Company had $ i 14 million of locally issued letters of credit as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, to support various tax appeals, customs arrangements and other obligations at its local affiliates, of which less than $ i 1 million was secured by cash collateral for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company recorded approximately $ i 5 million of amortization during 2019 associated with such arrangements.

NOTE 14. Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors pay related benefit plans for employees in the U.S., UK, Germany, Brazil, France, Mexico, Japan, and Canada. Employees in the U.S. and UK are no longer accruing benefits under the Company's defined benefit plans as these plans were frozen. The Company’s defined benefit plans are partially funded with the exception of certain supplemental benefit plans for executives and certain non-U.S. plans, primarily in Germany, which are unfunded.

The Company's expense for all defined benefit pension plans, is as follows:

The Company previously recorded service cost with other components of net pension income (expense) in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Adoption of ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)," during 2018 resulted in the reclassification of pension financing benefits into "Other income (expense), net" for all periods presented.

The Company's total accumulated benefit obligations for all defined benefit plans was $ i 1,116 million and $ i 990 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. i The benefit plan obligations for employee retirement plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were as follows:

Components of the net change in AOCI related to all defined benefit pension plans, exclusive of amounts attributable to non-controlling interests on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, are as follows:



	U.S. Plans					Non-U.S. Plans
(In millions)	2019			2018		2019			2018

	$	i 25		$	i 13	$	i 18		$	( i 5	)

Actuarial losses for the year ended December 31, 2019 are primarily related to a decrease in discount rates partially offset by an increase in return on assets. Actuarial losses of $ i 2 million for the non-U.S. retirement plans are expected to be amortized to income during 2020. Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using the 10% corridor approach representing 10% times the greater of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. Generally, the expected return is determined using a market-related value of assets where gains (losses) are recognized in a systematic manner over five years. For less significant plans, fair value is used.

Benefit p i ayments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid by the Company plans as follows:



(In millions)	U.S. Plans		Non-U.S. Plans
2020	$	i 40	$	i 6
2021	i 39		i 6

During the year ended December 31, 2019, cash contributions to the Company's U.S. defined benefit plans were $ i 1 million and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans were $ i 7 million. Additionally, the Company expects to make contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans of $ i 19 million and non-US defined benefit pension plans of $ i 7 million during 2020. The Company’s expected 2020 contributions may be revised.

Substantially all of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets are managed by external investment managers and held in trust by third-party custodians. The selection and oversight of these external service providers is the responsibility of the investment committees of the Company and their advisers. The selection of specific securities is at the discretion of the investment manager and is subject to the provisions set forth by written investment management agreements and related policy guidelines regarding permissible investments, risk management practices and the use of derivative securities. Derivative securities may be used by investment managers as efficient substitutes for traditional securities, to reduce portfolio risks or to hedge identifiable economic exposures. The use of derivative securities to engage in unrelated speculation is expressly prohibited.

The primary objective of the pension funds is to pay the plans’ benefit and expense obligations when due. Given the relatively long time horizon of these obligations and their sensitivity to interest rates, the investment strategy is intended to improve the funded status of its U.S. and non-U.S. plans over time while maintaining a prudent level of risk. Risk is managed primarily by diversifying each plan’s target asset allocation across equity, fixed income securities and alternative investment strategies, and then maintaining the allocation within a specified range of its target. In addition, diversification across various investment subcategories within each plan is also maintained within specified ranges.

The Company’s retirement plan asset allocation as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and target allocation for 2020 are as follows:



	Target Allocation				Percentage of Plan Assets
	U.S.		Non-U.S.		U.S.				Non-U.S.
	2020		2020		2019		2018		2019		2018
Equity securities	i 38	%	i 34	%	i 37	%	i 30	%	i 38	%	i 27	%

	i 100	%	i 100	%	i 100	%	i 100	%	i 100	%	i 100	%

The expected long-term rate of return for defined benefit pension plan assets was selected based on various inputs, including returns projected by various external sources for the different asset classes held by and to be held by the Company’s trusts and its targeted asset allocation. These projections incorporate both historical returns and forward looking views regarding capital market returns, inflation and other variables. Pension plan assets are valued at fair value using various inputs and valuation techniques. A description of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value for each class of plan assets is included in Note 18, "Fair Value Measurements."

Discount Rate for Estimated Service and Interest Cost: The Company uses the spot rate method to estimate the 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 an approach that discounts individual expected cash flows underlying interest and service costs using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The discount rate assumption is based on market rates for a hypothetical portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds rated Aa or better with maturities closely matched to the timing of projected benefit payments for each plan at its annual measurement date. The Company used

discount rates ranging from 0.45% to 8.95% to determine its pension and other benefit obligations as of December 31, 2019, including weighted average discount rates of i 3.34% for U.S. pension plans and i 2.39% for non-U.S. pension plan.

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. Matching contributions for the U.S. defined contribution plan are i 100% on the first i 6% of pay contributed. The expense related to all matching contributions was approximately $ i 8 million in 2019, $ i 7 million in 2018, and $ i 8 million in 2017.

Other Postretirement Employee Benefit Plans

In Canada, the Company has a financial obligation for the cost of providing other postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain of its employees under Company-sponsored plans. These plans generally pay for the cost of health care and life insurance for retirees and dependents, less retiree contributions and co-pays. Other postretirement benefit obligations were $ i 1 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from i 35% to i 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the migration from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, which institutes a dividends received deduction for foreign earnings with a one-time transition tax on cumulative post-1986 foreign earnings, a modification of the characterization and treatment of certain intercompany transactions and the creation of a new U.S. corporate minimum tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017, the Company calculated its best estimate of the impact of the Act in its year-end income tax provision in accordance with the guidance available as described below. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 ("SAB 118"), income tax effects of the Act were refined upon obtaining, preparing, and analyzing additional information during the measurement period. At December 31, 2018, the Company had completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act summarized as follows:

As a result of the Act, the Company remeasured its U.S. federal deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future. The Company recorded a cumulative income tax charge of $ i 267 million (less than $ i 1 million income tax charge in 2018 and $ i 267 million income tax charge in 2017); the impact of which was entirely offset by a corresponding income tax benefit associated with a reduction in the U.S. valuation allowance in those years.

•

The Act requires a mandatory deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign earnings, which results in a one- time transition tax. The Company recorded a cumulative charge of $ i 52 million ($ i 33 million in 2018 and $ i 19 million charge in 2017) related to the one-time transition tax, which was partially offset by the $ i 36 million reversal of the Company’s existing deferred tax liability (net of foreign tax credits) associated with repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings. The cumulative $ i 16 million income tax charge was entirely offset by a corresponding income tax benefit associated with a reduction in the U.S. valuation allowance in those years.


•	For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Act introduces new provisions for U.S. taxation of certain global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). The Company has made the policy election to record any liability associated with GILTI in the period in which it is incurred.

During 2019, the Company further adjusted its estimate of the impact of U.S. tax reform primarily related to assumptions made in calculating its 2018 GILTI inclusion resulting in an $ i 18 million income tax benefit, the impact of which was entirely offset by a corresponding income tax charge associated with an increase in the U.S. valuation allowance. Other items impacting the Company’s 2019 effective tax rate include the unfavorable impact of foreign operations of $ i 23 million which reflects a $ i 6 million unfavorable variance due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate; $ i 8 million related to income tax expense, net of foreign tax credits, associated with income from foreign subsidiaries treated as branches for U.S. income tax purposes; and $9 million related to U.S. income taxes in connection with GILTI and Subpart F inclusions, net of foreign tax credits, excluding the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings described above; these amounts were offset by a corresponding $ i 18 million income tax benefit associated with a reduction in the U.S. valuation allowance. Tax reserve adjustments of $ i 2 million primarily relates to certain transfer pricing positions taken between affiliates in Europe and the U.S.

Other items impacting the Company’s 2018 effective tax rate include the unfavorable impact of foreign operations of $16 million which reflects a $8 million unfavorable variance due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate and $8 million related to U.S. income taxes in connection with GILTI and Subpart F inclusions, net of foreign tax credits, excluding the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings described above, entirely offset by a corresponding $8 million decrease in the U.S. valuation allowance. Tax reserve adjustments of $6 million primarily reflects the favorable audit developments in connection with uncertain tax positions related to goodwill tax amortization at an affiliate in Asia. The $35 million unfavorable impact of tax law change in 2018 (excluding the Act) reflects the reduction in deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, primarily attributable to the reduction in the corporate income tax rate in France which was entirely offset by the related valuation allowance.

Other items impacting the Company's 2017 effective tax rate include the favorable impact of foreign operations of $ i 5 million which includes a $ i 34 million favorable variance due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate partially offset by $ i 29 million related to U.S. income taxes in connection with repatriation of earnings, excluding the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings described above, entirely offset by a corresponding $ i 29 million decrease in the U.S. valuation allowance. Tax reserve adjustments of $ i 14 million primarily reflects the $ i 16 million decrease in uncertain tax benefits in connection with the Internal Revenue Service completing its audit during the first quarter of 2017 which was fully offset by the U.S. valuation allowance, while adverse tax reserve adjustments of $ i 2 million related to various matters in the U.S. and India for which the uncertainty is expected to be resolved while a full valuation allowance is maintained, and thus, are entirely offset by a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. The $ i 5 million unfavorable impact of tax law change in 2017 (excluding the Act) reflects the reduction in deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, primarily attributable to the reduction in the corporate income tax rates in France and Argentina, which were entirely offset by the related valuation allowances in those jurisdictions.

Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowances

The Company recorded deferred tax liabilities, net of valuation allowances, for U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes of approximately $ i 26 million and $ i 21 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively; on the undistributed earnings of certain consolidated and unconsolidated foreign affiliates as such earnings are intended to be repatriated in the foreseeable future. The amount the Company expects to repatriate is based upon a variety of factors including current year earnings of the foreign affiliates, foreign investment needs and the cash flow needs the Company has in the U.S. and this practice has not changed following incurring the transition tax under the Act. The Company has not provided for deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on the remainder of undistributed earnings from consolidated foreign affiliates because such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of deferred tax liability on such earnings as the actual tax liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances existing when remittance occurs.

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, tax planning strategies and projected future impacts attributable to the Act. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is 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 particular, when there is a cumulative loss incurred over a three-year period. However, the three-year loss position is not solely determinative and, accordingly, management considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. In regards to the full valuation allowance recorded against the U.S. net deferred tax assets, despite recent improvement in the U.S. financial results, management concluded that the weight of negative evidence continues to outweigh the positive evidence, in part attributable to the reduction in the U.S. profitability during 2019, as well as the expectation that global production volumes are expected to continue to decline in 2020. These factors contribute to the relative uncertainty surrounding the ability that the U.S. operations will demonstrate sustained profitability in the future. Additionally, the Company has made a policy election to apply the incremental cash tax savings approach when analyzing the impact GILTI could have on its U.S. valuation allowance assessment. As a result of future expected GILTI inclusions, and because of the Act’s ordering rules, U.S. companies may now expect to utilize tax attribute carryforwards (e.g. net operating losses and foreign tax credits) for which a valuation allowance has historically been recorded (this is referred to as the “tax law ordering approach”). However, due to the mechanics of the GILTI rules, companies that have a GILTI inclusion may realize a reduced (or no) cash tax savings from utilizing such tax attribute carryforwards (this view is referred to as the “incremental cash tax savings approach”). These positions, along with management’s analysis of all other

available evidence, resulted in the conclusion that the Company maintain the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the U.S. Based on the Company’s current assessment, it is possible that within the next 12 to 24 months, the existing valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets could be partially released. Any such release is dependent upon the sustained improvement in U.S. operating results, and, if such a release of the valuation allowance were to occur, it could have a significant impact on net income in the quarter in which it is deemed appropriate to partially release the reserve.

The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

At December 31, 2019, the Company had available non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards of $ i 1.5 billion and $ i 17 million, respectively, which have remaining carryforward periods ranging from 1 year to indefinite. The Company had available U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ i 1.4 billion at December 31, 2019, which will expire at various dates between 2028 and 2034. U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards are $ i 385 million at December 31, 2019. These credits will begin to expire in 2022. U.S. research tax credit carryforwards are $ i 20 million at December 31, 2019. These credits will begin to expire in 2030. The Company had available tax-effected U.S. state operating loss carryforwards of $ i 30 million at December 31, 2019, which will expire at various dates between 2020 and 2039.

In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and resulting change in ownership on the Effective Date, an annual limitation was imposed on the utilization of U.S. net operating losses, U.S. credit carryforwards and certain U.S. built-in losses (collectively referred to as “tax attributes”) under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383. The collective limitation is approximately $ i 120 million per year on tax attributes in existence at the date of change in ownership. Additionally, the Company has approximately $ i 385 million of U.S. foreign tax credits that are not subject to any current limitation since they were realized after the Effective Date.

As of December 31, 2019, valuation allowances totaling $ i 1.1 billion have been recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets. Of this amount, $ i 768 million relates to the Company’s deferred tax assets in the U.S. and $ i 364 million relates to deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions, primarily Germany and France.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits, Inclusive of Discontinued Operations

The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world and the income tax returns of its subsidiaries in various tax jurisdictions are subject to periodic examination by respective tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse and/or favorable outcomes to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for tax adjustments that it believes are more likely than not to be realized as a result of any ongoing or future examination. Accounting estimates associated with uncertain tax positions require the Company to make judgments regarding the sustainability of each uncertain tax position based on its technical merits. If the Company determines it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits, the Company records the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These estimates are updated at each reporting date based on the facts, circumstances and information available. Due to the complexity of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company's current estimate of the liabilities recorded.

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $ i 13 million and $ i 10 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $ i 6 million and $ i 4 million, respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefit differs from that which would impact the effective tax rate due to uncertain tax positions embedded in other deferred tax attributes carrying a full valuation allowance. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and related amounts accrued at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $ i 2 million in both years.

During 2019, the Company recorded uncertain tax positions related to certain transfer positions taken between affiliates in Europe and the U.S. During 2018, there were several items that impacted the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits resulting in a $ i 10 million net reduction in income tax expense, inclusive of interest and penalties, of which $ i 6 million and $ i 4 million of income tax benefits were reflected in continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively. The $ i 6 million income tax benefit in continuing operations primarily reflects the favorable audit developments in connection with uncertain tax positions related to goodwill tax amortization at an affiliate in Asia. The $ i 4 million income tax benefit in discontinued operations relates to expiring statutes in connection with former climate operations in Europe.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2014 or state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2003 although U.S. net operating losses and other tax attributes carried forward into open tax years technically remain open to adjustment. During the first quarter of 2018, the IRS informed the Company that the 2016 tax year would be added to the ongoing examination of the Company’s U.S. tax returns for 2014 and 2015. Although it is not possible to predict the timing of the resolution of all other ongoing tax audits with accuracy, it is reasonably possible that certain tax proceedings in Europe, Asia, and Mexico 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 $ i 5 million is included in Other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, while $ i 3 million is reflected as a reduction of a deferred tax asset related to a net operating loss included in Other-non current assets 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:

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 $ i 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. Adjusted for currency impacts and accrued interest, the deposit amount is approximately $ i 14 million, as of December 31, 2019. 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 $ i 18 million as of December 31, 2019, and are included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

In 2019, the Company paid less than $1 million to purchase the remaining shares of a previous non-controlling interest.

Stock Warrants

In October 2010, the Company issued ten year warrants expiring October 1, 2020 at an exercise price of $ i 9.66 per share. As of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 there are i 909 warrants outstanding. The warrants may be net share settled and are recorded as permanent equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These warrants were valued at $ i 15.00 per share on the October 1, 2010 issue date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Pursuant to the Ten Year Warrant Agreement, the original exercise price of $ i 9.66 for the ten year warrants is subject to adjustment as a result of the special distribution of $ i 43.40 per share to shareholders at the beginning of 2016. The new exercise price for each of the remaining i 909 ten year warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2019 is reduced to a nominal $ i 0.01 and each warrant is entitled to approximately i 1.4 shares of stock upon exercise based on share price as of December 31, 2019.

Restricted Net Assets

Restricted net assets related to the Company’s non-consolidated affiliates were approximately $ i 43 million and $ i 38 million, respectively as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Restricted net assets related to the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries were approximately $ i 196 million and $ i 177 million, respectively as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are attributable to the Company’s consolidated joint ventures in China, where certain regulatory requirements and governmental restraints result in significant restrictions on the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries ability to transfer funds to the Company.

NOTE 17. Stock-Based Compensation

The Visteon Corporation 2010 Incentive Plan (the “2010 Incentive Plan”) provides for the grant of up to i 4.75 million shares of common stock for restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), non-qualified stock options ("Stock Options"), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance based share units ("PSUs"), and other stock based awards. The Company's stock-based compensation instruments are accounted for as equity awards or liability awards based on settlement intention as follows.

•

For equity settled stock-based compensation instruments, compensation cost is measured based on grant date fair value of the award and is recognized over the applicable service period. For equity settled stock-based compensation instruments, the delivery of Company shares may be on a gross settlement basis or on a net settlement basis, as determined by the recipient. The Company's policy is to deliver such shares using treasury shares or issuing new shares.

•

Cash settled stock-based compensation instruments are subject to liability accounting. At the end of each reporting period, the vested portion of the obligation for cash settled stock-based compensation instruments is adjusted to fair value based on the period-ending market prices of the Company's common stock. Related compensation expense is recognized based on changes to the fair value over the applicable service period.

Generally, the Company's stock-based compensation instruments are subject to graded vesting and recognized on an accelerated basis. The settlement intention of the awards is at the discretion of the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. These stock-based compensation awards generally provide for accelerated vesting upon a change-in-control, which is defined in the 2010 Incentive Plan and requires a double-trigger. Accordingly, the Company may be required to accelerate recognition of related expenses in future periods in connection with the change-in-control events and subsequent changes in employee responsibilities, if any.

On June 7, 2018, the Company modified the accounting for certain cash settled stock-based compensation Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") for non-employee directors of the Company. These awards, previously subject to liability accounting, are now expected to settle in stock. The liability of $6 million related to these awards has been reclassified to shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2018 and will be subject to equity method accounting going forward.

The total recognized and unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is as follows:

During 2018, the Company recognized a $ i 10 million benefit on forfeiture of unvested shares due to the settlement of a litigation matter as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies."

Performance Based Share Units

The number of PSUs that will vest is based on the Company's achievement of a pre-established relative total shareholder return goal compared to its peer group of companies over a period of i three years which may range from i 0% to i 200% of the target award.

A summary of employee activity for PSUs is provided below:

The grant date fair value for PSUs was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2019 for PSUs to be settled in shares of the Company's common stock was $ i 7 million for the non-vested portion and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately i 1.7 years. The Company made cash settlement payments of less than $ i 1 million and $ i 1 million for PSUs expected to be settled in cash during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2019 was less than $ i 1 million for the non-vested portion of these awards and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately i 1.7 years.

The Monte Carlo valuation model requires management to make various assumptions including the expected volatility, risk free interest rate and dividend yield. Volatility is based on the Company’s stock history using daily stock prices over a period commensurate with the expected life. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of the stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend yield was based on historical patterns and future expectations for Company dividends.

Weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the years ended as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:



	Year Ended December 31
	2019		2018
Expected volatility	i 31.2	%	i 24.1	%
Risk-free rate	i 2.43	%	i 2.33	%
Expected dividend yield	i —	%	i —	%

Restricted Stock Units

The grant date fair value of RSUs is measured as the average of the high and low market price of the Company's common stock as traded on the public stock exchange on the date of grant. These awards generally vest in one-third increments on the grant date anniversary over a three year vesting period.

The Company granted i 133,000, i 70,000 and i 76,000 RSUs, expected to be settled in shares, during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, at a weighted average grant date fair value of $ i 79.88, $ i 123.52 and $ i 94.51 per share, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2019 was $ i 8 million for non-vested RSUs and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately i 1.5 years.

The Company granted i 8,000 and i 23,000 RSUs, expected to be settled in cash, during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2017, respectively, at weighted average grant date fair values $ i 75.02 and $ i 95.45 per share, respectively. The Company made cash settlement payments of less than $ i 1 million, less than $ i 1 million and $ i 1 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2019 was less than $ i 1 million for non-vested RSUs and will be recognized on a weighted average basis over the remaining vesting period of approximately i 1.6 years.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has i 82,000 outstanding RSUs awarded at a weighted average grant date fair value of $ i 102.84 under the Non-Employee Director Stock Unit Plan which vest immediately but are not stock settled until the participant terminates service.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock Options and SARs are recorded with an exercise price equal to the average of the high and low market price at which the Company's common stock was traded on the public stock exchange on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of these awards is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock Options and SARs generally vest in one-third increments on the grant date anniversary over a three year vesting period and have an expiration date i 7 or i 10 years from the date of grant.

The Company received payments of less than $ i 1 million, $ i 3 million and $ i 2 million related to the exercise of stock options with total intrinsic value of options exercised of less than $ i 1 million, $ i 2 million and $ i 1 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense for non-vested Stock Options and SARs as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $ i 1 million and less than $ i 1 million, respectively, and are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of i 1.5 years and less than i 1.0 year, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make various assumptions including the expected term, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and expected volatility. The expected term represents the period of time that granted awards are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of the stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend yield is based on historical patterns and future expectations for Company dividends. Volatility is based on the Company’s stock history using daily stock prices over a period commensurate with the expected life.

Weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

NOTE 18. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

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.

Assets which are valued at net asset value per share ("NAV"), or its equivalent, as a practical expedient are reported outside the fair value hierarchy, but are included in the total assets for reporting and reconciliation purposes.

The fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Foreign currency instruments and interest rate swaps are valued 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. The carrying amounts of all other non-retirement plan financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term maturities.

Retirement plan assets pertain to a diverse set of securities and investment vehicles held by the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. These assets possess varying fair value measurement attributes such that certain portions are categorized within each level of the fair value hierarchy as based upon the level of observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation of the particular asset. The Company may, as a practical expedient, estimate the fair value of certain investments using NAV of the investment as of the reporting date. This practical expedient generally deals with investments that permit an investor to redeem its investment directly with, or receive distributions from, the investee at times specified in the investee’s governing documents. Examples of these investments (often referred to as alternative investments) may include ownership interests in real assets, certain credit strategies, and hedging and diversifying strategies. They are commonly in the form of limited partnership interests. The Company uses NAV

as a practical expedient when valuing investments in alternative asset classes and funds which are a limited partnership or similar investment vehicle.

Retirement Plan Assets

Retirement plan assets consist of the following:

•

Short-term investments, such as cash and cash equivalents, are immediately available or are highly liquid and not subject to significant market risk. Assets comprised of cash, short-term sovereign debt, or high credit-quality money market securities and instruments held directly by the plan are categorized as Level 1. Assets in a registered money market fund are reported as registered investment companies. Assets in a short-term investment fund ("STIF") are categorized as Level 2. Cash and cash equivalent assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are reflected in U.S. dollar terms at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet dates.

•

Registered investment companies are mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mutual funds may invest in various types of securities or combinations thereof including equities, fixed income securities, and other assets that are subject to varying levels of market risk and are categorized as Level 1. The share prices for mutual funds are published at the close of each business day.

•

Treasury and government securities consist of debt securities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. sovereign governments and agencies, thereof. Assets with a high degree of liquidity and frequent trading activity are categorized as Level 1 while others are valued by independent valuation firms that employ standard methodologies associated with valuing fixed-income securities and are categorized as Level 2.


•	Corporate debt securities consist of fixed income securities issued by corporations. Assets with a high degree of liquidity and frequent trading activity are categorized as Level 1 while others are valued by independent valuation firms that employ standard methodologies associated with valuing fixed-income securities and are categorized as Level 2.


•	Common and preferred stocks consist of shares of equity securities. These are directly-held assets that are generally publicly traded in regulated markets that provide readily available market prices and are categorized as Level 1.

•

Common trust funds are comprised of shares or units in commingled funds that are not publicly traded. The underlying assets in these funds, including equities and fixed income securities, are generally publicly traded in regulated markets that provide readily available market prices. The entire balance of an investment in a common trust fund that does not have a readily observable market prices as available on a third-party information source, notwithstanding whether the investment has daily liquidity, is categorized as Level 2; unless the investment fund has investment holdings significant to its valuation that are considered as Level 3; or the fund is considered as an alternative strategy (including hedge and diversifying strategies) for which valuation is established by NAV as a practical expedient.

•

Liability Driven Investing (“LDI”) is an investment strategy that utilizes certain instruments and securities, interest-rate swaps and other financial derivative instruments intended to hedge a portion of the changes in pension liabilities associated with changes in the actuarial discount rate as applied to the plan’s liabilities. The instruments and securities used typically include total return swaps and other financial derivative instruments. The valuation methodology of the financial derivative instruments contained in this category of assets utilizes standard pricing models associated with fixed income derivative instruments and are categorized as Level 2.


•	Other investments include miscellaneous assets and liabilities and are primarily comprised of pending transactions and collateral settlements and are categorized as Level 2.

•

Limited partnerships and hedge funds represent investment vehicles with underlying exposures in alternative credit, hedge and diversifying strategies (including hedge fund of funds), real assets, and certain equity exposures. The underlying assets in these funds may include securities transacted in active markets as well as other assets that have values less readily observable and may require valuation techniques that require inputs that are not readily observable. Investment in these funds may be subject to a specific notice period prior to the intended transaction date. In addition, transactions in these funds may require longer settlement terms than traditional mutual funds. These assets are valued based on their respective NAV as a practical expedient to estimate fair value due to the absence of readily available market prices.


•	Insurance contracts are reported at cash surrender value and have significant unobservable inputs and are categorized as Level 3.

The change in f i air value of insurance contracts which used significant unobservable inputs was primarily due to purchases during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilized a third party to assist in the fair value determination of the purchase price allocation for the VFAE Acquisition. Management’s allocation of fair values to asset and liabilities was completed through a combination of cost, market and income approaches. As further described in Note 8, " Property and Equipment", the fair value of certain fixed assets was less than carrying value and therefore, impairment charges of $2 million were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2019. As further described in Note 21, "Divestitures", the fair value of the assets subject to the France Transaction was less than carrying value and therefore, the long-lived assets were reduced to zero and impairment charges of $ i 13 million were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2017.

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of debt, excluding amounts classified as held for sale, was approximately $ i 390 million and $ i 388 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Fair value estimates were based on quoted market prices or current rates for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Accordingly, the Company's debt is classified as Level 1 "Market Prices," and Level 2 "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy, respectively.

Investments

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company made an equity investment of $ i 1 million in a private radar imaging firm for an ownership interest of i 12.5%. This investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and is measured at cost, less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

During the year end December 31, 2019, there were no material transactions, events or changes in circumstances requiring an impairment or an observable price change adjustment to the investment. The Company continues to monitor this investment to identify potential transactions which may indicate an impairment or an observable price change requiring an adjustment to its carrying value.

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 December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company contributed approximately $3 million and $1 million, respectively. The Company does not have significant influence in either partnership. These investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

NOTE 19. 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 limits this exposure by entering into agreements including master netting arrangements directly with a variety of major financial institutions with high credit standards 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. Derivative financial instruments designated and non-designated as hedging instruments are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company is not required to maintain cash collateral with its counterparties in relation to derivative transactions.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction, including designation

of the instrument as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Additionally, at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company formally assesses whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposure.

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

For a designated cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in AOCI in the consolidated balance sheet. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized, the gain or loss previously included in AOCI is recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement of operations on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss associated with changes in the fair value of undesignated cash flow hedges are recorded immediately in the consolidated statement of operations, on the same line as the associated risk. For a designated net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment in AOCI in the consolidated balance sheet. Derivatives not designated as a hedge are adjusted to fair value through operating results. Cash flows associated with designated hedges are reported in the same category as the underlying hedged item. Cash flows associated with derivatives are reported in net cash provided from operating activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows except for cash flows associated with net investment hedges, which are reported in net cash used by investing activities.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in currency exchange rates arising from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt, dividends and investments in subsidiaries. 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 related to transactions, excluding those transactions as related to the payment of variable interest on existing debt, is eighteen months. The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges forecasted transactions related to variable interest payments is the term of the underlying debt.

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 are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. There is no cash collateral on any of these derivatives.

Currency Exchange Rate Instruments: The Company primarily uses forward contracts denominated in Euro, Japanese Yen, Thai Baht and Mexican Peso intended to mitigate the variability of cash flows denominated in currency other than the hedging entity's functional currency.

The Company had foreign currency hedge economic derivative instruments, with notional amounts of approximately $ i 8 million and $ i 23 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value of all derivatives was a liability of less than $ i 1 million and an asset of $ i 1 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The difference between the gross and net value of these derivatives after offset by counter party is not material.

Cross Currency Swaps: The Company has executed cross-currency swap transactions intended to mitigate the the variability of the U.S. dollar value of its investment in certain of its non-U.S. entities. These transactions are designated as net investment hedges and the Company has elected to assess hedge effectiveness under the spot method. Accordingly, periodic changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments attributable to factor other than spot exchange rate variability are excluded from the measure of hedge ineffectiveness and reported directly in earnings each reporting period.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had cross currency swaps with an aggregate notional value of $ i 250 million. The aggregate fair value of these derivatives is a non-current liability of $ i 6 million and $ i 16 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The amount of accumulated other income expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is a gain of approximately $ i 7 million.

Interest Rate Risk

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

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had an aggregate notional value of interest rate swap transactions of $ i 250 million. The aggregate fair value of these derivative transactions as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, was a non-current liability of approximately $ i 7 million and $ i 2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, a gain of approximately $ i 3 million is expected to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months.

Financial Statement Presentation

Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

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 substantially 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 concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 is not material.

The following is a summary of the percentage of sales and accounts receivable from the Company's largest ultimate customers:

NOTE 20. Business Acquisitions

VFAE Acquisition

On i September 1, 2018, the Company invested approximately $ i 300,000 and acquired an additional i 1% ownership in VFAE, a Chinese automotive electronic applications manufacturer in which the Company had previously been an equity investor. The Company's ownership interest increased to i 51% and, because of the change in control, the assets and liabilities of VFAE were consolidated from the date of the transaction. i The Company made this additional investment as part of its long-term strategic plan for VFAE. The investment will contribute to the business growth and enhanced economic performance of VFAE by leveraging Visteon’s manufacturing technology and engineering capabilities.

The VFAE acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction. The total consideration, including the $ i 300,000 paid and the fair value of the original i 50% interest, has been allocated to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling shareholder interest based on their representative value at i September 1, 2018. The excess consideration over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The operating results of VFAE have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company since the date of the transaction.

A i summary of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the transaction is shown below (in millions):

The Company utilized a third party to assist in the fair value determination of certain components of the purchase price allocation, primarily intangible assets and non-controlling interest, as well as the fair value of the Company’s original i 50% equity investment.

i Fair values of equity investment and non-controlling interest, as of the acquisition date were estimated using the discounted cash flow technique of the income approach. Fair values of intangible assets were based on the excess earning method of the income approach. The income approach requires the Company to project related future cash inflows and outflows and apply an appropriate discount rate. The estimates used in determining fair values are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain.

In 2018, in connection with its increased investment in VFAE, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $ i 4 million on its original investment, classified as "Other income (expense), net" in the consolidated income statement.

The acquisition does not meet the thresholds for a significant acquisition and therefore no pro forma financial information is presented.

NOTE 21. Divestitures

France Transaction

On December 1, 2017, the Company completed an asset sale related to an Electronics facility in France to a third party (the "France Transaction"). In connection with the France Transaction, the Company recorded pre-tax losses of approximately $ i 33 million including a cash contribution of $ i 13 million, long-lived asset impairment charges $ i 13 million and other working capital and transaction related impacts of $ i 7 million.

The Company entered into certain other agreements upon closing, including a transition agreement (pursuant to which the parties will provide certain transition services for a specified period following the closing), a manufacturing agreement (pursuant to which

the buyer will provide manufacturing services to Visteon), and a sourcing agreement (pursuant to which Visteon commits to a minimum purchase value for a two year period for prototypes and production equipment).

NOTE 22. Discontinued Operations

During 2014 and 2015, the Company completed the Interiors Divestiture and the completed the sale of its Argentina and Brazil interiors operations on December 1, 2016. Separately, the Company completed the sale of the majority of its global Climate business (the "Climate Transaction") during 2015. These transactions met the conditions required to qualify for discontinued operations reporting and accordingly the results of operations and the settlement of retained contingencies have been classified in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

During 2019 the Company recognized approximately $ i 2 million of corrections of judicial deposits related to former employees at a closed plant in Brazil.

During 2018, the Company recognized a $ i 3 million benefit on settlement of litigation matters with its former CEO as further described in Note 23, "Commitments and Contingencies." The Company also recorded a $ i 4 million charge for legal expenses related to former employees at a closed plant in Brazil. Lastly, the Company recorded a $ i 4 million income tax benefit during 2018 related to uncertain tax positions in connection with the Climate transaction, resulting from statute expiration.

In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company completed the repurchase of the electronics operations located in India during the first quarter of 2017 for $ i 47 million, recognizing a $ i 7 million gain on settlement of purchase commitment contingencies. The Company had previously consolidated the India operations based on the Company's controlling financial interest as a result of the repurchase obligation, operating control, and the obligation to fund losses or benefit from earnings.

In connection with the Interiors Divestiture, the Company negotiated a settlement with the Buyer for certain non-income tax items and recognized a gain on divestiture of $ i 7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

NOTE 23. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Claims

In 2003, the Local Development Finance Authority of the Charter Township of Van Buren, Michigan issued approximately $ i 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. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the Company would negotiate in good faith with the Township in the event that property tax payments were inadequate to permit the Township to meet its payment obligations with respect to the bonds. In October 2019, the Township notified the Company that the Township had incurred a shortfall under the bonds of less than $ i 1 million and requested that the Company meet to discuss payment. The parties met in November 2019 but no agreement was reached. On December 9, 2019, the Township commenced litigation against the Company in Michigan’s Wayne County Circuit Court claiming damages of $ i 28 million related to what the Township alleges to be the current shortfall and projected future shortfalls

under the bonds. The Company disputes the factual and legal assertions made by the Township and will defend the matter vigorously. The Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter.

The dispute between the Company and its former President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy D. Leuliette, was resolved in the first quarter of 2018. Pursuant to the resolution, the Company recognized $ i 17 million of pre-tax income, representing the forfeiture of stock based awards and release of other liabilities accrued during prior periods. The benefit is classified as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses of $ i 10 million, a benefit to "Other income (expense), net" of $ i 4 million, and a benefit to discontinued operations of $ i 3 million.

In November 2013, the Company and Halla Visteon Visteon Climate 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 approximately $ i 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 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 December 31, 2019, the Company maintained accruals of approximately $ i 11 million for claims aggregating approximately $ i 78 million in Brazil. 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.

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. Specific cause actions represent customer actions related to defective supplier parts and related software.

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

Guarantees and Commitments

During 2014, as part of the YFVIC Transaction, the Company guaranteed certain standard non-payment provisions to cover the lenders in event of non-payment of principal, accrued interest, and other fees due. The loan was fully payed by the borrower and the guarantee concurrently relieved during the year ended December 31, 2019.

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 December 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $ i 5 million and $ i 1 million of outstanding guarantees, related to the divested Climate and Interiors entities, respectively. These guarantees will generally cease upon expiration of current lease agreement which expire in 2026 and 2021 for the Climate and Interiors entities, respectively.

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 as of December 31, 2019 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.
