TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
|
|
| 1. |
Description of Business |
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (together with its
subsidiaries,
the
“Company”) is among the world’s largest and
most diversified suppliers of automotive systems, modules and
components to global automotive original equipment manufacturers
(
“OEMs”) and related aftermarkets.
The Company
conducts substantially all of its operations through
subsidiaries. These operations primarily encompass the design,
manufacture and sale of active and passive safety related
products. Active safety related products principally refer to
vehicle dynamic controls (primarily braking and steering), and
passive safety related products principally refer to occupant
restraints (primarily air bags and seat belts) and crash
sensors.
The Company is primarily a
“Tier 1”
supplier (a supplier which sells directly to OEMs), with over
85% of its sales in 2004 made directly to OEMs.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in
the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(
“SEC”) on
February 23, 2005. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation. Further, results of operations for the three
and six months ended
June 25, 2004 reflect the retroactive
recognition of the prescription drug subsidy provided for in the
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of
2003 (the
“MPD Act”). See Note 11.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(
“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of
normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations
of
the Company. Operating results for the three and six months
ended
July 1, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of
results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2005.
The Company follows a fiscal calendar that ends on
December 31. However, each fiscal quarter has three periods
consisting of one five week period and two four week periods.
Each week ends on a Friday with the possible exception of the
final week of the year, which always ends on December 31.
As such, the six months ended
July 1, 2005 contained five
more calendar days as compared to the six months ended
June 25, 2004. Calendar days for the three months ended
July 1, 2005 were consistent with calendar days for the
three months ended
June 25, 2004.
Earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are
calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflect the weighted average impact of all potentially dilutive
securities from the date of issuance. Actual weighted average
shares outstanding used in calculating earnings per share were:

Stock-based compensation. Stock options under employee
compensation plans are accounted for using the recognition and
measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,” (
“APB 25”) and related
interpretations. Pursuant to APB 25, no stock-based
employee compensation expense is reflected in net earnings if
options granted have exercise prices greater than or equal to
the market value of the underlying common stock of
the Company
(
“Common Stock”) on the date of grant.
The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings as if
the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” had been
applied to stock-based employee compensation:

Recent accounting pronouncements. On
December 16,
2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(
“FASB”) issued SFAS 123(R) which is a revision
of SFAS No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation.” SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion
No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,” (
“APB 25”) and amends
SFAS No. 95,
“Statement of Cash Flows.”
Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the
approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R)
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants
of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure, as
was allowed under APB 25, will no longer be an alternative.
On
April 14, 2005, the SEC issued a rule delaying the
effective date of SFAS 123(R) to annual periods beginning
after
June 15, 2005.
The Company, however, will voluntarily
adopt SFAS 123(R) in the third quarter of 2005, and
anticipates that it will incur approximately $5 million of
compensation expense related to stock options in the second half
of 2005. Had we adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the
impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of
SFAS 123 as previously described.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”
(
“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 requires
retrospective application to prior-period financial statements
of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable
to determine either the period-specific effects or the
cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also redefines
“restatement” as the revising of previously issued
financial statements to reflect the correction of an error.
SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
Dec. 15, 2005. Adoption of SFAS 154 is not expected to
have a material impact on
the Company’s financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued
Issue No. 05-5,
“Accounting for Early Retirement or
Post-employment Programs with Specific Features (Such As Terms
Specified in Altersteilzeit Early Retirement Arrangements)”
(
“EITF 05-5”). EITF 05-5 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after
Dec. 15, 2005.
The Company has
various programs that fall under the Altersteilzeit
(
“ATZ”) program which are currently accounted for in
accordance with EITF 05-5. As such, adoption of this
pronouncement will not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
On
July 18, 2005,
the Company received notice of final
approval from the appropriate government agency for the planned
closure of
the Company’s Burgos, Spain manufacturing
facility. Under the approved arrangement,
the Company will incur
pre-tax cash restructuring charges relating to severance,
retention and outplacement services of approximately
$31 million. The facility will be closed in the third
quarter of fiscal 2005, and as such, the cash restructuring
charges will be reflected in
the Company’s third quarter
financial results.

Divestiture and Asset Sales |
On
January 9, 2004,
the Company completed the disposal of
its North American Independent Aftermarket business,
(
“Autospecialty”) which had sales of approximately
$55 million in 2003. Proceeds from the sale were
approximately $10 million, net of cash retained in the
business. Through the sale date, Autospecialty’s financial
position and results of operations were included in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements. As the
purchase price approximated the book value of Autospecialty on
the sale date, no gain or loss was incurred in connection with
this divestiture.
During the first quarter of 2004,
the Company also completed two
sale-leaseback transactions involving certain land and buildings
used for corporate and engineering activities in Shirley,
England and Livonia, Michigan.
The Company received cash on the
disposals of approximately $90 million (including
unremitted VAT of approximately $14 million, which has
subsequently been remitted) and $7 million, respectively.
The Shirley transaction included a capital lease component of
$21 million due to the retention of interest by
the Company
in certain buildings.

TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements — (Continued)
For the three and six months ended
July 1, 2005, the
Company recorded asset impairments of approximately
$2 million in its Occupant Safety Systems segment related
to
the Company’s Burgos, Spain manufacturing facility (see
Note 3), to write down certain property, plant and
equipment to fair value based on estimated future cash flows.
For the three and six months ended
June 25, 2004, the
Company recorded asset impairments of $1 million in its
Occupant Safety Systems segment to write down certain equipment
to fair value based on estimated future cash flows.
Included in restructuring charges for the three and six months
ended
July 1, 2005 in the Chassis Systems segment is a
curtailment gain of approximately $2 million related to
termination of retiree medical benefits for certain hourly
employees at a facility that will be closed in the third quarter
of 2005. Such curtailment gain has been recorded as a reduction
in the post-retirement benefit liability.

restructuring reserves for severance and other charges:

Of the $36 million restructuring reserve accrued as of
July 1, 2005, approximately $14 million is expected to
be paid in 2005. The remainder is expected to be paid in 2006
through 2010 and is comprised of mainly involuntary employee
termination arrangements outside the United States.

Accounts Receivable Securitization |
The receivables facility, as amended (the “Receivables
Facility”), extends until December 2009 and provides up to
$400 million in funding principally from commercial paper
conduits sponsored by commercial lenders, based on availability
of eligible receivables and other customary factors.
Under the Receivables Facility, certain
subsidiaries of the
Company (
“the Sellers”) sell trade accounts receivable
(the
“Receivables”) originated by them and certain of
their
subsidiaries as sellers in the United States through
the Receivables Facility. Receivables are sold to TRW Automotive
Receivables LLC (the
“Transferor”) at a discount. The
Transferor is a bankruptcy remote special purpose limited
liability company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. The Transferor’s purchase of Receivables is
financed through a transfer agreement with TRW Automotive Global
Receivables LLC (the
“Borrower”). Under the terms of
the Transfer Agreement, the Borrower purchases all Receivables
sold to the Transferor. The Borrower is a bankruptcy remote
special purpose limited liability company that is wholly-owned
by the Transferor and is not consolidated when certain
requirements are met.
Generally, multi-seller commercial paper conduits supported by
committed liquidity facilities are available to provide cash
funding for the Borrowers’ purchase of Receivables through
secured loans/tranches to the extent desired and permitted under
the receivables loan agreement. A note is issued for the
difference between Receivables purchased and cash borrowed
through the facility. The Sellers act as servicing agents per
the servicing agreement, and continue to service the transferred
receivables for which they receive a monthly servicing fee at a
rate of 1% per annum of the average daily outstanding
balance of receivables. The usage fee under the Receivables
Facility is 0.85% of outstanding borrowings. In addition, the
Company is required to pay a fee of 0.40% on the unused portion
of the Receivables Facility. Both the usage fee and the fee on
the unused portion of the facility are subject to a
leverage-based grid. These rates are per annum and payments of
these fees are made to the lenders monthly.
Availability of funding under the Receivables Facility depends
primarily upon the outstanding trade accounts receivable
balance, and is determined by reducing the receivables balance
by outstanding borrowings under the program, the historical rate
of collection on those receivables and other characteristics of
those receivables that affect their eligibility (such as
bankruptcy or downgrading below investment grade of the obligor,
delinquency and excessive concentration). As of
July 1,
2005, based on the terms of this facility and the criteria
described above, approximately $254 million of the
Company’s total reported accounts receivable balance was
considered eligible for borrowings under this facility, of which
approximately $151 million would have been available for
funding.
The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this
facility as of
July 1, 2005. As such, the fair value of the
multi-seller conduits’ loans was less than 10% of the fair
value of the borrower’s assets and, therefore, the
financial statements of the borrower were included in our
unaudited consolidated financial statements as of
July 1,
2005.
In addition to the Receivables Facility described above, certain
of
the Company’s European
subsidiaries entered into
receivables financing arrangements in the fourth quarter of 2003
and 2004 and in the first quarter of 2004.
The Company has
approximately
€78 million
available until November 2005 through factoring arrangements in
which customers send bills of exchange directly to the bank. The
Company
has
€75 million
available until January 2006 through an arrangement involving a
wholly-owned special purpose vehicle, which purchases trade
receivables from its German affiliates and sells those trade
receivables to a German bank.
The Company also has an additional
receivables financing arrangement in Europe of
£40 million available until November 2005 through an
arrangement involving a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle.
The European receivables arrangements are renewable for one year
at the end of their respective terms, if not terminated. There
were no outstanding borrowings under any of these facilities as
of
July 1, 2005.

TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements — (Continued)
The Company does not own any variable interests in the
multi-seller conduits, as that term is defined in FASB
Interpretation 46(R)
“Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities (revised December 2003) — an interpretation
of ARB No. 51.”
Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No, 28.
“Interim
Financial Reporting”,
the Company is required to adjust its
effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the
estimated annual effective tax rate.
The Company is also
required to record the tax impact of certain unusual or
infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment
about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or
rates, in the interim period in which they occur. Income tax
expense for the three months ended
July 1, 2005 was
$51 million on pre-tax income of $136 million as
compared to income tax expense of $65 million on pre-tax
income of $141 million for the same period a year ago. For
the six months ended
July 1, 2005,
the Company recorded
income tax expense of $97 million on pre-tax income of
$232 million as compared to income tax expense of
$106 million on pre-tax income of $184 million for the
same period a year ago. The expense for income taxes of
$51 million for the three months ended
July 1, 2005
includes a one time benefit of $17 million resulting from a
tax law change in Poland related to investment tax credits for
companies operating in certain special economic zones within the
country. The investment tax credits replace the tax holiday that
was previously in effect for
the Company. The income tax rate
varies from the United States statutory income tax rate due
primarily to losses in certain jurisdictions without recognition
of a corresponding income tax benefit, non-deductible interest
expense in certain foreign jurisdictions, as well as the impact
of the one time item noted above.
On
October 22, 2004 The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
(the
“Act”) was signed into law by the President. The
Act provides a temporary incentive in the form of a special
one-time deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated to a U.S. taxpayer, provided certain criteria
are met. The deduction is available to the extent cash dividends
exceed a base amount and are invested in the United States
pursuant to a domestic reinvestment plan. The temporary
incentive is available to
the Company in 2005.
The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and
uncertainty remains as to the interpretation of numerous
provisions in the Act. The U.S. Treasury has provided
clarifying guidance on certain elements of the repatriation
provision and Congress may introduce legislation that provides
for certain technical corrections to the Act.
The Company is
evaluating the Act and the impact of the regulatory guidance and
has not completed its analysis mainly due to the uncertainty
associated with the interpretation of the provisions within the
Act, as well as numerous tax, legal, and business
considerations.
The Company expects to complete its analysis of
the potential repatriation, if any, and the related tax
ramification during 2005.

The following table provides the components of net
post-retirement benefit cost for the plans for the three and six
months ended
July 1, 2005 and
June 25, 2004. The net
post-retirement benefit cost for the six months ended
June 25, 2004 includes the retroactive recognition of the
prescription drug subsidy provided for in the the MPD Act.
Retroactive recognition of the subsidy reduced expense by
approximately $1 million which has been reflected in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations for
the three and six months ended
June 25, 2004.

Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes |
The Senior Notes consist of
9
3/
8% Senior
Notes and
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes in original principal amounts of $925 million
and
€200 million,
respectively. The Senior Subordinated Notes consist of
11% Senior Subordinated Notes and
11

$300 million and
€125 million,
respectively. Interest is payable semi-annually on February 15

and the Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on a senior
subordinated unsecured basis, in each case by substantially all
existing and future wholly-owned domestic
subsidiaries and by
TRW Automotive Finance (Luxembourg), S.à.r.l., a restricted
Luxembourg subsidiary.
On
May 3, 2005,
the Company repurchased

10
1/
8% Senior

The Company recorded a loss
on retirement of debt of approximately $7 million,
comprised of approximately $6 million for the related
redemption premium on the
10
1/
8% Senior

deferred debt issue costs.
In the first quarter of 2004,
the Company used approximately
$317 million of the proceeds from its initial public
offering to repay a portion of each of the dollar and euro
Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, in each case
including the payment of a related redemption premium thereon.
The loss on retirement of debt incurred on such repayments
consisted of redemption premiums totaling $30 million and
write-off of deferred debt costs totaling $6 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities. On
December 21,
2004,
the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of
December 17, 2004 with the
lenders party thereto. The amended and restated credit agreement
provides for $1.9 billion in senior secured credit
facilities, consisting of (i) a 5-year $900 million
revolving credit facility, (ii) a 5-year $400 million
term loan A facility and (iii) a 7.5-year
$600 million term loan B facility (combined with the
new revolving credit facility and new term loan A, the
“New Senior Secured Facilities”). The initial draw
under the New Senior Secured Facilities occurred on
January 10, 2005 (the
“Funding Date”). Proceeds
from the New Senior Secured Facilities were used to refinance
the credit facilities existing as of
December 31, 2004
(with the exception of the term loan E discussed below),
and pay fees and expenses related to the refinancing. In
conjunction with the
December 21, 2004 refinancing, the
Company capitalized $5 million in deferred debt issuance
costs in 2004, and capitalized an additional $4 million in
January 2005. In 2005,
the Company recognized accelerated
amortization expense of $3 million on the remaining debt
issuance costs related to those certain syndicated term loans
not extinguished until the Funding Date.
Borrowings under the New Senior Secured Facilities bear interest
at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the
Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by
reference to the higher of (1) the administrative
agent’s prime rate and (2) the federal funds rate plus
1/
2
of 1% or (b) a LIBOR or a eurocurrency rate determined by
reference to the costs of funds for deposits in the currency of
such borrowing for the interest period relevant to such
borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. As of
July 1, 2005, the applicable margin for the term
loan A and the revolving credit facility was 0.375% with
respect to base rate borrowings and 1.375% with respect to
eurocurrency borrowings, and the applicable margin for the term
loan B and the term loan E was 0.50% with respect to
base rate borrowings and 1.50% with respect to eurocurrency
borrowings. The commitment fee on the undrawn amounts under the
revolving credit facility was 0.35%. The commitment fee on the
revolving credit facility and the applicable margin on the New
Senior Secured Facilities are subject to a leverage-based grid.
The term loan A will amortize in equal quarterly amounts,
totaling $60 million in 2007, $160 million in 2008,
and $135 million in 2009 with one final installment of
$45 million on
January 10, 2010, the maturity date.
The term loan B will amortize in equal quarterly
installments in an amount equal to 1% per annum during the
first seven years and three months of its term and in one final
installment on
June 30, 2012, the maturity date.
Like the previous credit facilities, the New Senior Secured
Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by
the Company and
substantially all existing and subsequently acquired domestic
subsidiaries of TRW Automotive Inc. (other than the
Company’s receivables
subsidiaries). Obligations of the
foreign subsidiary borrowers will be unconditionally guaranteed
by
the Company, TRW Automotive Inc. and certain foreign
subsidiaries of TRW Automotive Inc. The New Senior Secured
Facilities, like the previous credit facilities, will be secured
by a perfected first priority security interest in, and
mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets
of TRW Automotive Inc. and substantially all of its domestic
subsidiaries, including a pledge of 100% of the stock of TRW
Automotive Inc. and substantially all of its domestic
subsidiaries, and 65% of the stock of foreign
subsidiaries owned
by domestic entities. In addition, like the previous credit
facilities, foreign borrowings under the New Senior Secured
Facilities will be secured by assets of the foreign borrowers.
January 2004 Refinancing. On
January 9, 2004, the
Company refinanced all of the borrowings under its then-existing
term loan facilities with the proceeds of new term loan
facilities, together with approximately $213 million of
available cash on hand. Deferred debt issuance costs associated
with the then-existing term loan facilities of $11 million
were expensed in the first quarter of 2004. The term loan
facilities entered into in the January 2004 refinancing
consisted of tranche A-1 term loan issued in a face amount
of $350 million maturing February 2009 and tranche D
term loans issued in face amounts of $800 million
and
€93 million
maturing February 2011.

April 2004 Refinancing. On
April 19, 2004, the
Company recorded loss on retirement of debt of $1 million
related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in
conjunction with the repayment of a portion of the then-existing
term loan facilities.
November 2004 Refinancing. On
November 2, 2004, the
Company amended and restated its then-existing credit agreement
to provide for a new $300 million tranche E term loan,
the proceeds of which were used along with cash on-hand to
purchase the seller note with a face value, including accrued
interest, of $678 million from Northrop Grumman Corporation
(
“Northrop”). The term loan E matures on
October 31, 2010 and will amortize in equal quarterly
installments in an amount equal to one percent per annum during
the first five years and nine months of its term and in one
final installment on the maturity date. The term loan E is
guaranteed and secured on the same basis as the New Senior
Secured Facilities, as described above.
Repurchase of Northrop Shares. On
March 8, 2005, the
Company entered into two stock purchase agreements (the
“Stock Purchase Agreements”) with Northrop and an
affiliate of Northrop pursuant to which Northrop and its
affiliate agreed to sell to
the Company an aggregate of
7,256,500 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate
consideration of approximately $143 million in cash. The
closing of this sale occurred on
March 11, 2005. These
shares were immediately retired following the repurchase by the
Company.
Issuance and Registration of Shares. Separately, on
March 8, 2005,
the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
and Registration
Rights Agreement (the
“T Rowe
Agreement”) with T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (the
“First
Purchaser”), as investment adviser to the mutual funds and
institutional accounts listed therein (the
“TRP
Investors”). Pursuant to the T Rowe Agreement,
the Company
sold to the First Purchaser, on behalf of the TRP Investors,
5,256,500 newly issued shares of Common Stock for an aggregate
consideration of approximately $103 million in cash on
March 11, 2005.
On
March 8, 2005 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
and Registration
Rights Agreement (the
“Wellington
Agreement”) with certain investment advisory clients of
Wellington Management Company, llp (each a
“Second
Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Wellington Agreement, the
Company sold to the Second Purchasers an aggregate of 2,000,000
newly issued shares of Common Stock for an aggregate
consideration of approximately $40 million in cash on
March 11, 2005.
The proceeds from these share issuances initially were used to
return cash and/or reduce liquidity line balances to the levels
that existed immediately prior to the time the share purchases
from an affiliate of Northrop referenced above took place. On
May 3, 2005, a portion of the proceeds from these share
issuances was then used to
repurchase
€48 million
principal amount of
the Company’s
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes.
Pursuant to each of the T Rowe Agreement and the Wellington
Agreement,
the Company filed a registration statement on
Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the registration of the resale of the shares
purchased pursuant to those agreements. The registration
statement was declared effective on
April 12, 2005.
Pursuant to the effective registration statement, the First
Purchaser, the TRP Investors and the Second Purchasers will
be able to sell their shares of Common Stock into the market
from time to time over a maximum period of two years.
Initial Public Offering. On
February 6, 2004, the
Company completed an initial public offering of
24,137,931 shares of Common Stock. Net proceeds from the
offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering

The Company used
approximately $319 million of the net proceeds from the
offering to repurchase 12,068,965 shares of Common
Stock held by an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P.
(
“Blackstone”) and approximately $317 million of
such proceeds to repay a portion of each of the dollar and euro
Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. See Note 15. In
connection with the offering,
the Company effected a 100 for 1
stock split of outstanding shares of Common

Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings are
pending or threatened against
the Company or its
subsidiaries,
covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary
course of its business activities with respect to commercial,
patent, product liability and environmental matters. In
addition,
the Company and its
subsidiaries are conducting a
number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at
current and former locations of certain of
the Company’s
subsidiaries. Along with other companies, certain
subsidiaries
of
the Company have been named potentially responsible parties
for certain waste management sites. Each of these matters is
subject to various uncertainties, and some of these matters may
be resolved unfavorably with respect to
the Company or the
relevant subsidiary. A reserve estimate for each environmental
matter is established using standard engineering cost estimating
techniques on an undiscounted basis. In the determination of
such costs, consideration is given to the professional judgment
of Company environmental engineers, in consultation with outside
environmental specialists, when necessary. At multi-party sites,
the reserve estimate also reflects the expected allocation of
total project costs among the various potentially responsible
parties. As of
July 1, 2005,
the Company had reserves for
environmental matters of $68 million. In addition, the
Company has established a receivable from Northrop for a portion
of this environmental liability as a result of indemnification
provided for in the Master Purchase Agreement.
The Company
believes any liability that may result from the resolution of
environmental matters for which sufficient information is
available to support these cost estimates will not have a
material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial position
or results of
19
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements — (Continued)
operations. However,
the Company cannot predict the effect on
the Company’s financial position of expenditures for
aspects of certain matters for which there is insufficient
information. In addition,
the Company cannot predict the effect
of compliance with environmental laws and regulations with
respect to unknown environmental matters on
the Company’s
financial position or results of operations or the possible
effect of compliance with environmental requirements imposed in
the future.
Further, product liability claims may be asserted in the future
for events not currently known by management. Although the
ultimate liability from these potential claims cannot be
ascertained, management does not anticipate that any related
liability, after consideration of insurance recovery, would have
a material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial
condition or results of operations.
In October 2000, Kelsey-Hayes Company (formerly known as
Fruehauf Corporation) was served with a grand jury subpoena
relating to a criminal investigation being conducted by the
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois. The
U.S. Attorney has informed
the Company that the
investigation relates to possible wrongdoing by Kelsey-Hayes
Company and others involving certain loans made by Kelsey-Hayes
Company’s then-parent corporation to Fruehauf Trailer
Corporation, the handling of the trailing liabilities of
Fruehauf Corporation and actions in connection with the 1996
bankruptcy of Fruehauf Trailer Corporation. Kelsey-Hayes Company
became a wholly owned subsidiary of Old TRW upon Old TRW’s
acquisition of Lucas Varity in 1999 and became a subsidiary of
the Company upon the Acquisition.
The Company has cooperated
with the investigation and is unable to predict the outcome of
the investigation at this time.
In 2001, Ford Motor Company recalled approximately
1.4 million Ford light-and heavy-duty trucks, SUVs,
minivans and large passenger vehicles to inspect and, if
necessary, replace certain front seat belt buckle assemblies.
Subsequent to the recall, the National Highway Traffic
Administration (
“NHTSA”) and Ford received complaints
and warranty claims alleging seat belt buckle failure after
passing the original recall inspection service. On or about
February 18, 2005, NHTSA notified Ford that it had opened
an Engineering Analysis to analyze field performance of those
vehicles that Ford dealers passed (determined to be functioning
properly) using the recall inspection test. A subsidiary of the
Company supplied the front seat belt assemblies that were
involved in the recall. On
July 6, 2005, NHTSA closed the
Engineering Analysis.
While certain of
the Company’s
subsidiaries have been
subject in recent years to asbestos-related claims, management
believes that such claims will not have a material adverse
effect on
the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations. In general, these claims seek damages for illnesses
alleged to have resulted from exposure to asbestos used in
certain components sold by
the Company’s
subsidiaries.
Management believes that the majority of the claimants were
assembly workers at the major U.S. automobile manufacturers.
The vast majority of these claims name as defendants numerous
manufacturers and suppliers of a wide variety of products
allegedly containing asbestos. Management believes that, to the
extent any of the products sold by these
subsidiaries and at
issue in these cases contained asbestos, the asbestos was
encapsulated. Based upon several years of experience with such
claims, management believes that only a small proportion of the
claimants has or will ever develop any asbestos-related
impairment.
Neither settlement costs in connection with asbestos claims nor
annual legal fees to defend these claims have been material in
the past. These claims are strongly disputed by
the Company and
its
subsidiaries and it has been the policy to defend against
them aggressively. Many of these cases have been dismissed
without any payment whatsoever. Moreover, there is significant
insurance coverage with solvent carriers with respect to these
claims. However, while costs to defend and settle these claims
in the past have not been material, there can be no assurances
that this will remain so in the future.
Management believes that the ultimate resolution of the
foregoing matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following should be read in conjunction with our Annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on
February 23, 2005, and the other
information included herein. References herein to
“we,” “our,” or the
“Company”
refer to TRW Automotive Holdings Corp., together with its
subsidiaries.
Executive Overview
Our Business. We are among the world’s largest and
most diversified suppliers of automotive systems, modules and
components to global automotive original equipment
manufacturers, or OEMs, and related aftermarkets. We conduct
substantially all of our operations through
subsidiaries. These
operations primarily encompass the design, manufacture and sale
of active and passive safety related products. Active safety
related products principally refer to vehicle dynamic controls
(primarily braking and steering), and passive safety related
products principally refer to occupant restraints (primarily air
bags and seat belts) and safety electronics (electronic control
units and crash and occupant weight sensors). We are primarily a
“Tier 1” supplier, with over 85% of our sales in
2004 made directly to OEMs. We operate our business along three
operating segments: Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety Systems and
Automotive Components.
Our second quarter 2005 net sales were $3.4 billion,
an increase of $202 million or 6% compared to net sales of
$3.2 billion in the second quarter of 2004. The increase
resulted primarily from sales of new products and foreign
currency translation, partially offset by pricing provided to
customers and lower vehicle production volumes in North America.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2005 was
$198 million, a decrease of $4 million compared to the
prior year period of $202 million. The decrease resulted
primarily from the continued impact of commodity inflation above
prior year levels, increased restructuring expenses and other
costs, which were partially offset by the benefit of higher
sales and cost reduction programs in excess of pricing provided
to customers and non-commodity inflation. Restructuring expenses
in the second quarter of 2005 were $13 million, as compared
to $8 million in the prior year quarter.
Net interest expense and accounts receivable securitization
costs for the second quarter of 2005 were $55 million, as
compared to $60 million in the prior year. This reduction
can be attributed to our deleveraging activities, which include
debt reduction and other capital structure improvement efforts,
offset partially by rising interest rates. In the second quarter
of 2005, we also incurred a $7 million loss on retirement
of debt for redemption premiums and related fees associated with
the partial redemption of our Euro-denominated
10
1/
8% senior
notes, equivalent to approximately $63 million, completed
on
May 3, 2005.
Recent Trends. We achieved our strong second quarter
results despite continued unfavorable trends in our industry.
These trends include a decline in market share for vehicle sales
among some of our largest customers, pricing pressure from OEMs,
the continued rise in inflationary pressures impacting certain
commodities, the growing concerns over the economic viability of
our Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply base as they face
inflationary pressures and the deteriorating financial condition
of certain of our customers. Further, during the second quarter
of 2005, the U.S. dollar strengthened significantly against
various foreign currencies. During the three months ended
July 1, 2005, the effect of these unfavorable trends were
mitigated by favorable trends including our sales growth,
foreign currency translation year over year and a high level of
cost reductions in our businesses.
While we continue our efforts to mitigate the risks described
above, we cannot assure you that the favorable trends that
benefited us in 2004 and the first six months of 2005 will
continue in the future or that we will not experience a decline
in sales, significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar
compared to other currencies, increased costs or disruptions in
supply, or that these items will not adversely impact our future
earnings. In particular, during 2005, we will continue to
evaluate the negative industry trends referred to above,
including the deteriorating financial condition of certain of
our customers and suppliers, and whether additional actions may
be required to mitigate those effects. Such actions may include
further plant rationalization and global capacity optimization
efforts across our businesses.
21
In recent years, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation
and, to a lesser extent, the Chrysler unit of DaimlerChrysler AG
(the “Big Three”) have seen a steady decline in their
market share for vehicle sales in North America and Europe, with
Asian OEMs increasing their share in such markets. Although we
do have business with the Asian OEMs, our customer base is more
heavily weighted toward the Big Three. Further, during the
second quarter of 2005, certain credit agencies downgraded Ford
Motor Company’s and General Motors Corporation’s debt
ratings to below investment grade. Such downgrades have added to
the uncertainty surrounding these customers’ future
prospects. Pricing pressure from the Big Three and other
customers is characteristic of the automotive parts industry.
This pressure is substantial and continuing. Virtually all OEMs
have policies of seeking price reductions each year.
Consequently, we have been forced to reduce our prices in both
the initial bidding process and during the terms of contractual
arrangements. We have taken steps to reduce costs and resist
price reductions; however, price reductions have negatively
impacted our sales and profit margins and are expected to do so
in the future.
We continue to work with our suppliers and customers to mitigate
the impact of increasing commodity costs. However, it is
generally difficult to pass increased prices for manufactured
components and raw materials through to our customers in the
form of price increases. During the second quarter of 2005, we
saw a general decline in costs of ferrous metals from their
recent highs. However, costs of other commodities such as resins
continue to increase, and therefore, overall commodity inflation
remains a significant concern. These inflationary pressures have
placed a significant operational and financial burden on the
Company and are expected to continue throughout 2005 and 2006.
Furthermore, because we purchase various types of equipment, raw
materials and component parts from our suppliers, we may be
adversely affected by their failure to perform as expected as a
result of being unable to adequately mitigate these inflationary
pressures. These pressures have proven to be insurmountable to
some of our suppliers and we have seen the number of
bankruptcies or insolvencies increase due in part to the recent
inflationary pressures. While the unstable condition of some of
our suppliers has not led to any significant disruptions thus
far, it could lead to delivery delays, production issues or
delivery of non-conforming products by our suppliers in the
future. As such, we continue to monitor our supply base for the
best source of supply.
Our Debt and Capital Structure. On an ongoing basis we
monitor, and may modify, our debt and capital structure to
reduce associated costs and provide greater financial
flexibility. On
May 3, 2005, we repurchased approximately
€48 million
principal amount of our
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of shares
of our common stock (
“Common Stock”) in the first
quarter of 2005.
Changes in our debt and capital structure, among other items,
may impact our effective tax rate. Our overall effective tax
rate is equal to consolidated tax expense as a percentage of
consolidated earnings before tax. However, tax expense and
benefits are not recognized on a global basis but rather on a
jurisdictional basis. We are in a position whereby losses
incurred in certain tax jurisdictions 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 of earnings between
jurisdictions could have a significant impact on our overall
effective tax rate in future periods. Changes in tax law and
rates could also have a significant impact on the effective rate
in future periods.

Sales for the three months ended
July 1, 2005 of
$3.4 billion increased $202 million from
$3.2 billion for the three months ended
June 25, 2004.
The increase resulted primarily from higher volume in excess of
price reductions to customers of $101 million and the
favorable effect of foreign currency exchange of
$101 million. Sales volume increased despite significantly
lower Big Three production in North America and flat industry
production in Europe.
Gross profit for the three months ended
July 1, 2005
of $406 million increased $26 million from
$380 million for the three months ended
June 25, 2004.
The increase resulted primarily from the positive impact of
higher volume in excess of adverse product mix of
$26 million, and a reduction in net pension and OPEB
expense of $6 million. These increases were partially
offset by the unfavorable impact of inflation (which included
higher commodity prices) and price reductions to our customers,
net of savings from cost reductions, of $6 million. Gross
profit as a percentage of sales was approximately 12% for each
of the three month periods ended
July 1, 2005 and
June 25, 2004.
Administrative and selling expenses for the three months
ended
July 1, 2005 of $126 million declined
$6 million from $132 million for the three months
ended
June 25, 2004. The decline resulted primarily from a
reduction in net pension and OPEB expense and savings from cost
reductions, partially offset by higher inflation and the
unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange. Administrative
and selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 3.7% for the
three months ended
July 1, 2005 compared to 4.2% for the
three months ended
June 25, 2004.
23
Research and development expenses were $52 million
for the three months ended
July 1, 2005 compared to
$42 million for the three months ended
June 25, 2004.
The increase primarily reflected additional engineering cost to
support new programs and growth in emerging markets, lower cost
recovery for prototypes and engineering charges, and the
unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange. Research and
development expenses as a percentage of sales for the three
months ended
July 1, 2005 were 1.6% compared to 1.3% for
the three months ended
June 25, 2004.
Restructuring charges were $13 million for the three
months ended
July 1, 2005 compared to $8 million for
the three months ended
June 25, 2004. For the three months
ended
July 1, 2005, Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety
Systems and Automotive Components recorded charges of
$5 million, $2 million, and $6 million
respectively, for severance, costs related to the consolidation
of certain facilities, and asset impairments net of a
post-retirement benefit curtailment gain. For the three months
ended
June 25, 2004, Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety
Systems and Automotive Components recorded charges of
$5 million, $1 million, and $2 million
respectively, for severance, costs related to the consolidation
of certain facilities and asset impairments.
Other (income) expense — net was expense of
$9 million for the three months ended
July 1, 2005
compared to income of $12 million for the three months
ended
June 25, 2004. The decline in other income primarily
reflected the unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange
and higher expense in connection with bankruptcy and
administration proceedings of certain customers of
the Company.
Interest expense — net for the three months
ended
July 1, 2005 was $54 million compared to
$60 million for the three months ended
June 25, 2004.
The decrease in interest expense primarily reflected the impact
of
the Company’s reduction in debt, refinancing activities
and other capital structure improvements, partially offset by
increasing interest rates on variable rate debt.
Loss on retirement of debt for the three months ended
July 1, 2005 totaled $7 million compared to
$1 million for the three months ended
June 25, 2004.
On
May 3, 2005,
the Company repurchased
approximately
€48 million
principal amount of its
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of Common
Stock.
The Company recorded a loss on retirement of debt of
approximately $6 million for the related redemption premium
on the
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes, and approximately $1 million for the write-off of
deferred debt issue costs.
In the second quarter of 2004,
the Company recorded loss on
retirement of debt of $1 million related to the write-off
of unamortized debt issuance costs in conjunction with the
repayment of a portion of the then-existing term loan facilities.
Accounts receivable securitization costs was
$1 million for the three months ended
July 1, 2005.
Securitization costs for the three months ended
June 25,
2004 were de minimis.
Income tax expense for the three months ended
July 1, 2005 was $51 million on pre-tax income of
$136 million as compared to income tax expense of
$65 million on pre-tax earnings of $141 million for
the three months ended
June 25, 2004. The expense for
income taxes of $51 million for the three months ended
July 1, 2005 includes a one time benefit of
$17 million resulting from a tax law change in Poland
related to investment tax credits for companies operating in
certain special economic zones within the country. The
investment tax credits replace the tax holiday that was
previously in effect for
the Company. The income tax rate varies
from the United States statutory income tax rate due primarily
to losses in certain jurisdictions without recognition of a
corresponding income tax benefit, non-deductible interest
expense in certain foreign jurisdictions, as well as the impact
of the one time item noted above.

Sales for the six months ended
July 1, 2005 of
$6.6 billion increased $504 million from
$6.1 billion for the six months ended
June 25, 2004.
The increase resulted primarily from higher volume and sales of
new products, net of price reductions provided to customers, of
$271 million and the favorable effect of foreign currency
exchange of $233 million.
Gross profit for the six months ended
July 1, 2005
of $770 million increased $65 million from
$705 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004.
The increase resulted primarily from the positive impact of
higher volume, net of adverse product mix, of $66 million,
a reduction in net pension and OPEB expense of $15 million,
and lower product warranty cost primarily in Europe of
$5 million. These increases were partially offset by the
unfavorable impact of inflation (which included higher commodity
prices) and price reductions to our customers, net of savings
from cost reductions, of $22 million. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales for the six months ended
July 1, 2005
was 11.7% compared to 11.6% for the six months ended
June 25, 2004.
Administrative and selling expenses for the six months
ended
July 1, 2005 of $262 million increased
$5 million from $257 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from higher
inflation of $7 million and the unfavorable effect of
foreign currency exchange of $5 million, partially offset
by a reduction in net pension and OPEB expense of
$5 million and savings from cost reductions. Administrative
and selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 4.0% for the
six months ended
July 1, 2005 compared to 4.2% for the six
months ended
June 25, 2004.
Research and development expenses for the six months
ended
July 1, 2005 were $106 million compared to
$79 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004.
The increase primarily reflected additional engineering cost to
support new programs and growth in emerging markets, lower cost
recovery for prototypes and engineering charges, and the
unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange. Research and
development expenses as a percentage of sales for the six months
ended
July 1, 2005 were 1.6% compared to 1.3% for the
six months ended
June 25, 2004.
25
Amortization of intangible assets was $16 million
for the six months ended
July 1, 2005 compared to
$17 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004.
Restructuring charges were $21 million for the six
months ended
July 1, 2005 compared to $13 million for
the six months ended
June 25, 2004. For the six months
ended
July 1, 2005, Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety
Systems and Automotive Components recorded charges of
$9 million, $4 million, and $8 million
respectively, for severance, costs related to the consolidation
of certain facilities, and asset impairments net of a
post-retirement benefit curtailment gain. For the six months
ended
June 25, 2004, Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety
Systems and Automotive Components recorded charges of
$10 million, $1 million, and $2 million
respectively, for severance, costs related to the consolidation
of certain facilities and asset impairments.
Other (income) expense — net was expense of
$12 million for the six months ended
July 1, 2005
compared to income of $16 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004. The decline in other income primarily
reflected the unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange
and an increase in bad debt expense of approximately
$15 million related to the bankruptcy and administration
proceedings of certain of our customers.
Interest expense — net for the six months ended
July 1, 2005 was $112 million compared to
$122 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004.
Interest expense for the six months ended
July 1, 2005
included approximately $3 million of expenses related to
the credit agreement amendment and restatement entered into in
December 2004. The decrease in interest expense primarily
resulted from a reduction in debt and various refinancing
activities, partially offset by higher interest rates on
variable rate debt.
Loss on retirement of debt for the six months ended
July 1, 2005 totaled $7 million compared to
$48 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004. In
the first six months of 2005,
the Company repurchased
approximately
€48 million
principal amount of its
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of Common
Stock.
The Company recorded a loss on retirement of debt of
approximately $6 million for the related redemption premium
on the
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes, and approximately $1 million for the write-off of
deferred debt issue costs.
In the first six months of 2004,
the Company recorded a loss on
retirement of debt of $48 million related to the following
transactions:
|
|
|
| |
• |
$1 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt
issuance costs in conjunction with the repayment of a portion of
the then-existing term loan facilities in the second quarter of
2004; |
| |
| |
• |
$11 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in
conjunction with our January 2004 refinancing of the
then-existing term loan facilities; and |
| |
| |
• |
$30 million of redemption fees and $6 million
write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our
dollar and euro-denominated senior notes and senior-subordinated
notes which were partially redeemed in March 2004. |
Accounts receivable securitization costs for the six
months ended
July 1, 2005 were $2 million compared to
the $1 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004.
Income tax expense for the six months ended
July 1,
2005 was $97 million on pre-tax income of $232 million
as compared to income tax expense of $106 million on
pre-tax earnings of $184 million for the six months
ended
June 25, 2004. The expense for income taxes of
$97 million for the six months ended
July 1, 2005
includes a one time benefit of $17 million resulting from a
tax law change in Poland related to investment tax credits for
companies operating in certain special economic zones within the

Sales for the Chassis Systems segment for the three
months ended
July 1, 2005 of $1,953 million increased
$109 million from $1,844 million for the three months
ended
June 25, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from
the favorable effect of foreign currency exchange of
$62 million and higher volume in excess of price reductions
to customers of $47 million.
Earnings before taxes for the Chassis Systems segment for
the three months ended
July 1, 2005 of $108 million
increased $9 million from $99 million for the three
months ended
June 25, 2004. The increase resulted primarily
from the positive impact of higher volume net of adverse product
mix of $13 million. This increase was partially offset by
the unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange of
$3 million and price reductions to customers and inflation
(which included higher commodity prices) that exceeded savings
from cost reductions of $1 million. For the three months
ended
July 1, 2005, Chassis Systems recorded restructuring
charges of $5 million in connection with severance and
costs related to the consolidation of certain facilities net of
a post-retirement benefit curtailment gain. For the three months
ended
June 25, 2004, Chassis Systems recorded restructuring
charges of $5 million in connection with severance and
costs related to the consolidation of certain facilities.

ended
July 1, 2005 of $3,800 million increased
$294 million from $3,506 million for the six months
ended
June 25, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from
higher volume in excess of price reductions to customers of
$162 million and the favorable effect of foreign currency
exchange of $133 million. These increases were reduced by
the net loss of sales from divestitures of $1 million.
Earnings before taxes for the Chassis Systems segment for

three months ended
July 1, 2005 of $958 million
increased $64 million from $894 million for the three
months ended
June 25, 2004. The increase primarily
reflected higher customer volume and growth in new product
areas, net of price reductions to our customers, of
$44 million, and the favorable impact of foreign currency
exchange of $20 million.
Earnings before taxes for the Occupant Safety Systems
segment for the three months ended
July 1, 2005 of

$67 million from $827 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004. The increase primarily reflected the
favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of
$40 million and higher customer volume, net of price

Earnings before taxes for the Automotive Components
segment for the six months ended
July 1, 2005 of
$64 million increased $2 million from $62 million
for the for the six months ended
June 25, 2004. The
increase resulted primarily from the favorable impact of higher
sales volume and cost reductions. These benefits were offset by
adverse product mix, price reductions to customers and higher
inflation (which included higher commodity prices). For the six
months ended
July 1, 2005, Automotive Components recorded
restructuring charges of $8 million in connection with
severance and costs related to the consolidation of certain
facilities compared to $2 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating activities. Cash provided by operating
activities for the six months ended
July 1, 2005 was
$212 million as compared to cash provided by operating
activities of $28 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004. The change resulted primarily from timing of
cash receipts from customers given the quarter close date in
2005 being five calendar days later than the previous year, as
well as higher profits.
Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities
for the six months ended
July 1, 2005 was $174 million
compared to $59 million for the six months ended
June 25, 2004. This increase was due primarily to proceeds
from asset sales and divestitures of approximately
$108 million received in the six months ended
June 25,
2004 that did not recur in 2005.
During the six months ended
July 1, 2005, we spent
$174 million in capital expenditures, primarily in
connection with upgrading existing products, continuing new
product launches started in 2004 and providing for incremental
capacity, infrastructure and equipment at our facilities to
support our manufacturing and cost reduction efforts. We expect
to spend approximately $500 million, or 4% of sales, on
capital expenditures for such purposes during 2005.
Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities
was $290 million in the six months ended
July 1, 2005,
compared to $271 million in the six months ended
June 25, 2004. In the first six months of 2005, we borrowed
approximately $1,309 million, net of debt issue costs, and
used approximately $1,598 million to pay down long-term
debt, primarily in conjunction with the initial draw down of the
credit facilities under our December 2004 amendment and
restatement of our credit agreement.
On
March 11, 2005, we completed the purchase of an
aggregate 7,256,500 shares of our Common Stock from
Northrop Grumman Corporation (
“Northrop”) for
aggregate consideration of approximately $143 million. Such
shares were immediately retired. Separately, on
March 11,
2005, we completed the sale of an aggregate 7,256,500 newly
issued shares of Common Stock to certain institutional investors
for aggregate proceeds of approximately $143 million. On
May 3, 2005, we repurchased
approximately
€48 million
principal amount (approximating $63 million) of our
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes with a portion of the proceeds from this issuance.
30
Debt and Commitments
Sources of Liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is
cash flow generated from operations. We also have availability
under our revolving credit facility and receivables facilities
described below, subject to certain conditions. See
“Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” and “Other
Receivables Facilities.” Our primary liquidity
requirements, which are significant, are expected to be for debt
service, working capital, capital expenditures and research and
development costs.
We intend to draw down on, and use proceeds from, the revolving
credit facility under our senior secured credit facilities and
the Company’s United States and European accounts
receivables facilities (collectively, the
“Liquidity
Facilities”) to fund normal working capital needs from
month to month in conjunction with available cash on hand. As of
July 1, 2005, we had approximately $845 million of
availability under our revolving credit facility,
approximately
€153 million
and £40 million under our European accounts receivable
facilities and approximately $151 million of availability
under our U.S. accounts receivable facility as further
discussed below. During any given month, we anticipate that we
will draw as much as an aggregate of $400 million from the
Liquidity Facilities. The amounts drawn under the Liquidity
Facilities typically will be paid back throughout the month as
cash from customers is received. We may then draw upon such
facilities again for working capital purposes in the same or
succeeding months. These borrowings reflect normal working
capital utilization of liquidity.
In connection with the February 2003 acquisition (the
“Acquisition”) by an affiliate of The Blackstone Group
L.P. (
“Blackstone”) of the shares of the
subsidiaries
of the former TRW Inc. (
“Old TRW”) engaged in the
automotive business from Northrop, TRW Automotive Inc., the
Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (
“TRW
Automotive”) issued the senior notes and the senior
subordinated notes, entered into senior credit facilities,
consisting of a revolving credit facility and term loan
facilities, and initiated a trade accounts receivable
securitization program, or the receivables facility. As of
July 1, 2005, we had outstanding $2.8 billion in
aggregate indebtedness, with an additional $845 million of
borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit
facility, after giving effect to $55 million in outstanding
letters of credit and guarantees, which reduced the amount
available. As of
July 1, 2005, approximately
$254 million of our total reported accounts receivable
balance was considered eligible for borrowings under our United
States receivables facility, of which approximately
$151 million would have been available for funding. We had
no outstanding borrowings under this receivables facility as of
July 1, 2005. See
“Other Receivables Facilities”
for further discussion of our European facilities, which have
approximately
€153 million
and £40 million of funding availability and no
outstanding borrowings as of
July 1, 2005.
On
May 3, 2005,
the Company repurchased
approximately
€48 million
principal amount of its
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of new
shares of Common Stock in the first quarter. In the second
quarter of 2005,
the Company recorded a loss on retirement of
debt of approximately $6 million for the related redemption
premium on the
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes, and approximately $1 million for the write-off of
deferred debt issue costs.
The Company continuously evaluates its capital structure in
order to ensure the most appropriate and optimal structure and
may from time to time repurchase senior notes or senior
subordinated notes in the open market.
Funding Our Requirements. While we are highly leveraged,
we believe that funds generated from operations and planned
borrowing capacity will be adequate to fund debt service
requirements, capital expenditures, working capital requirements
and company-sponsored research and development programs. In
addition, we believe that our current financial position and
financing plans will provide flexibility in worldwide financing
activities and permit us to respond to changing conditions in
credit markets. However, our ability to continue to fund these
items and continue to reduce debt may be affected by general
economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory
factors, and the cost of warranty and recall and litigation
claims, among other things. Therefore, we cannot assure you that
our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations
or that future borrowings will be available to us under our
Liquidity Facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay
our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.
31
Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The senior secured
credit facilities consist of a secured revolving credit facility
and various senior secured term loan facilities. As of
July 1, 2005, the term loan facilities, with maturities
ranging from 2010 to 2012, consisted of an aggregate of
$1.3 billion dollar-denominated term loans and the
revolving credit facility provided for borrowing of up to
$900 million.
The term loan A in the amount of $400 million will
amortize in equal quarterly amounts, totaling $60 million
in 2007, $160 million in 2008, and $135 million in
2009 with one final installment of $45 million on
January 10, 2010, the maturity date. The term loan B
in the amount of $600 million will amortize in equal
quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1% per annum
during the first seven years and three months of its term and in
one final installment on its maturity date,
June 30, 2012.
The term loan E facility in the amount of $300 million
will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal
to 1% per annum during the first five years and nine months
of its term and in one final installment on its maturity date,
October 31, 2010.
Debt Restrictions. The senior credit facilities, senior
notes and senior subordinated notes contain a number of
covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain
exceptions, the ability of our
subsidiaries to incur additional
indebtedness or issue preferred stock, repay other indebtedness
(including, in the case of the senior credit facilities, the
senior notes and senior subordinated notes), pay dividends and
distributions or repurchase capital stock, create liens on
assets, make investments, loans or advances, make certain
acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, enter into
sale and leaseback transactions, engage in certain transactions
with affiliates, amend certain material agreements governing our
indebtedness (including, in the case of the senior credit
facilities, the senior notes, senior subordinated notes and the
receivables facility) and change the business conducted by us
and our
subsidiaries. In addition, the senior credit facilities
contain financial covenants relating to a maximum total leverage
and a minimum interest coverage ratio, and require certain
prepayments from excess cash flows, as defined, and in
connection with certain asset sales and the incurrence of debt
not permitted under the senior credit facilities.
The senior credit facilities and the
indentures governing the
notes generally restrict the payment of dividends or other
distributions by TRW Automotive, subject to specified
exceptions. The exceptions include, among others, the making of
payments or distributions in respect of expenses required for us
and our wholly-owned subsidiary, TRW Automotive Intermediate
Holdings Corp., to maintain our corporate existence, general
corporate overhead expenses, tax liabilities and legal and
accounting fees. Since we are a holding company without any
independent operations, we do not have significant cash
obligations, and are able to meet our limited cash obligations
under the exceptions to our debt covenants.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements. In January 2004, the
Company entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements
with a total notional value of $500 million to effectively
change a fixed rate debt obligation into a floating rate
obligation. The total notional amount of these agreements is
equal to the face value of the designated debt instrument. The
swap agreements are expected to settle in February 2013, the
maturity date of the corresponding debt instrument. Since these
interest rate swaps hedge the designated debt balance and
qualify for fair value hedge accounting, changes in the fair
value of the swaps also result in a corresponding adjustment to
the value of the debt. As of
July 1, 2005,
the Company
recorded a $2 million obligation related to these interest
rate swaps, resulting from an increase in forward rates, along
with a reduction of debt.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
On
January 10, 2005, we refinanced our credit facilities by
making an initial draw on the facilities which were amended and
restated in December 2004. Long-term debt obligations set forth
in
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations-Contractual Obligations and
Commitments” in our Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended
December 31, 2004 gave effect to this
refinancing and initial draw-down.
Also, on
May 3, 2005,
the Company repurchased
approximately
€48 million
principal amount of its
10
1/
8% Senior
Notes with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of new
shares of Common Stock in the first quarter.
32
Under the master purchase agreement relating to the Acquisition,
we are required to indemnify Northrop for certain tax losses or
liabilities pertaining to pre-Acquisition periods. This
indemnification obligation is capped at $67 million.
Initial payments of approximately $30 million were made in
2004. During the first six months of 2005, we made tax
payments of approximately $10 million under this
indemnification. Our remaining obligation under this indemnity
is $27 million, of which $18 million is expected to be
paid during the remainder of 2005.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have guarantees related to unconsolidated entities,
which have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current
or future effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a
receivables facility, which, as amended, extends to December
2009 and provides up to $400 million in funding from
commercial paper conduits sponsored by commercial lenders, based
on availability of eligible receivables and other customary
factors.
Certain of our
subsidiaries (the
“sellers”) sell trade
accounts receivables (the
“receivables”) originated by
them in the United States through the receivables facility.
Receivables are sold to TRW Automotive Receivables LLC (the
“transferor”) at a discount. The transferor is a
bankruptcy-remote special purpose limited liability company that
is our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary. The
transferor’s purchase of receivables is financed through a
transfer agreement with TRW Automotive Global Receivables LLC
(the
“borrower”). Under the terms of the transfer
agreement, the borrower purchases all receivables sold to the
transferor. The borrower is a bankruptcy-remote qualifying
special purpose limited liability company that is wholly owned
by the transferor and is not consolidated when certain
requirements are met as further described below.
Generally, multi-seller commercial paper conduits supported by
committed liquidity facilities are available to provide cash
funding for the borrowers’ purchase of receivables through
secured loans/tranches to the extent desired and permitted under
the receivables loan agreement. The borrower issues a note to
the transferor for the difference between the purchase price for
the receivables purchased and cash available to be borrowed
through the facility. The sellers of the receivables act as
servicing agents per the servicing agreement and continue to
service the transferred receivables for which they receive a
monthly servicing fee at a rate of 1% per annum of the
average daily outstanding balance of receivables. The usage fee
under the facility is 0.85% of outstanding borrowings. In
addition, we are required to pay a fee of 0.40% on the unused
portion of the receivables facility. These rates are per annum
and payments of these fees are made to the lenders on the
monthly settlement date.
Availability of funding under the receivables facility depends
primarily upon the outstanding trade accounts receivable balance
and is determined by reducing the receivables balance by
outstanding borrowings under the program, the historical rate of
collection on those receivables and other characteristics of
those receivables that affect their eligibility (such as
bankruptcy or downgrading below investment grade of the obligor,
delinquency and excessive concentration). We had no outstanding
borrowings under this facility as of
July 1, 2005.
This facility can be treated as a general financing agreement or
as an off-balance sheet financing arrangement. Whether the
funding and related receivables are shown as liabilities and
assets, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet, or,
conversely, are removed from the consolidated balance sheet
depends on the level of the multi-seller conduits’ loans to
the borrower. When such level is at least 10% of the fair value
of all of the borrower’s assets (consisting principally of
receivables sold by the sellers), the securitization
transactions are accounted for as a sale of the receivables
under the provisions of SFAS 140, “Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities,” and are removed from the consolidated
balance sheet. The proceeds received are included in cash flows
from operating activities in the statements of cash flows. Costs
associated with the receivables facility are recorded as losses
on sale of receivables in our consolidated statement of
operations. The book value of our retained interest in the
receivables approximates fair market value due to the current
nature of the receivables.
33
However, at such time as the fair value of the multi-seller
commercial paper conduits’ loans are less than 10% of the
fair value of all of the borrower’s assets, we are required
to consolidate the borrower, resulting in the funding and
related receivables being shown as liabilities and assets,
respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet and the costs
associated with the receivables facility being recorded as
accounts receivable securitization costs. As there were no
borrowings outstanding under the receivables facility on
July 1, 2005, the fair value of the multi-seller
conduits’ loans was less than 10% of the fair value of all
of the borrower’s assets and, therefore, the financial
position and results of operations of the borrower were included
in our consolidated financial statements as of
July 1, 2005.
Other Receivables Facilities
In addition to the receivables facility described above, certain
of our European
subsidiaries entered into receivables financing
arrangements in December 2003, January 2004 and December 2004.
We have
approximately
€78 million
available for a term of one year through factoring arrangements
in which customers send bills of exchange directly to the bank.
We also have two receivable financing arrangements with
availabilities
of
€75 million
and £40 million, respectively. Each of these
arrangements is available for a term of one year and each
involves a separate wholly-owned special purpose vehicle which
purchases trade receivables from its domestic affiliates and
sells those trade receivables to a domestic bank. These
financing arrangements provide short-term financing to meet our
liquidity needs, and any borrowings under these arrangements are
included in our consolidated balance sheet.

Environmental Matters
Governmental requirements relating to the discharge of materials
into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of
the environment, have had, and will continue to have, an effect
on our operations and us. We have made and continue to make
expenditures for projects relating to the environment, including
pollution control devices for new and existing facilities. We
are conducting a number of environmental investigations and
remedial actions at current and former locations to comply with
applicable requirements and, along with other companies, have
been named a potentially responsible party for certain waste
management sites. Each of these matters is subject to various
uncertainties, and some of these matters may be resolved
unfavorably to us.
A reserve estimate for each matter is established using standard
engineering cost estimating techniques on an undiscounted basis.
In the determination of such costs, consideration is given to
the professional judgment of our environmental engineers, in
consultation with outside environmental specialists, when
necessary. At multi-party sites, the reserve estimate also
reflects the expected allocation of total project costs among
the various potentially responsible parties. As of
July 1,
2005, we had reserves for environmental matters of
$68 million. In addition,
the Company has established a
receivable from Northrop for a portion of this environmental
liability as a result of the indemnification provided for in the
master purchase agreement
34
under which Northrop has agreed to indemnify us for 50% of any
environmental liabilities associated with the operation or
ownership of Old TRW’s automotive business existing at or
prior to the Acquisition, subject to certain exceptions.
TRW Safety Systems Inc., a subsidiary of
the Company
(
“TSSI”), received a letter from the Federal Aviation
Administration (the
“FAA”) dated
June 28, 2005
alleging that it violated the federal Hazardous Material
Regulations (
“HMR”) and/or the International Civil
Aviation Organization Technical Instructions by allegedly
offering undeclared hazardous materials for shipment on
May 5, 2005, from its El Paso, Texas warehouse to the
TSSI facility in Romeo, Michigan. TSSI is responding to the
FAA’s request
“to furnish any information concerning
mitigating or extenuating circumstances surrounding these
alleged violations.” Civil penalties of up to $32,500 can
be imposed for each violation of the HMR. Management cannot
predict the outcome of the investigation at this time, but does
not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations.
We do not believe that compliance with environmental protection
laws and regulations will have a material effect upon our
capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive
position. Our capital expenditures for environmental control
facilities during the remainder of 2005 and 2006 are not
expected to be material to us. We believe that any liability
that may result from the resolution of environmental matters for
which sufficient information is available to support cost
estimates will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or results of operations. However, we cannot
predict the effect on our financial position of expenditures for
aspects of certain matters for which there is insufficient
information. In addition, we cannot predict the effect of
compliance with environmental laws and regulations with respect
to unknown environmental matters on our financial position or
results of operations or the possible effect of compliance with
environmental requirements imposed in the future.
Contingencies
Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings are
pending or threatened against our
subsidiaries, covering a wide
range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our
business activities with respect to commercial, patent, product
liability, environmental and occupational safety and health law
matters. We face an inherent business risk of exposure to
product liability and warranty claims in the event that our
products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or
the use of our products results, or is alleged to result, in
bodily injury and/or property damage. Accordingly, we could
experience material warranty or product liability losses in the
future. In addition, our costs to defend the product liability
claims have increased over time.
In October 2000, Kelsey-Hayes Company (formerly known as
Fruehauf Corporation) was served with a grand jury subpoena
relating to a criminal investigation being conducted by the
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois. The
U.S. attorney has informed us that the investigation
relates to possible wrongdoing by Kelsey-Hayes Company and
others involving certain loans made by Kelsey- Hayes
Company’s then-parent corporation to Fruehauf Trailer
Corporation, the handling of the trailing liabilities of
Fruehauf Corporation and actions in connection with the 1996
bankruptcy of Fruehauf Trailer Corporation. Kelsey-Hayes Company
became a wholly owned subsidiary of Old TRW upon Old TRW’s
acquisition of Lucas Varity in 1999 and became our wholly owned
subsidiary in connection with the Acquisition. We have
cooperated with the investigation and are unable to predict the
outcome of the investigation at this time.
In 2001, Ford Motor Company recalled approximately
1.4 million Ford light-and heavy-duty trucks, SUVs,
minivans and large passenger vehicles to inspect and, if
necessary, replace certain front seat belt buckle assemblies.
Subsequent to the recall, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (
“NHTSA”) and Ford received complaints
and warranty claims alleging seat belt buckle failure after
passing the original recall inspection service. On or about
February 18, 2005, NHTSA notified Ford that it had opened
an Engineering Analysis to analyze field performance of those
vehicles that Ford dealers passed (determined to be functioning
properly) using the recall inspection test. A subsidiary of the
Company supplied the front seat belt assemblies that were
involved in the recall. On
July 6, 2005, NHTSA closed the
Engineering Analysis.
While certain of our
subsidiaries have been subject in recent
years to asbestos-related claims, we believe that such claims
will not have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition or results of operations. In
35
general, these claims seek damages for illnesses alleged to have
resulted from exposure to asbestos used in certain components
sold by our
subsidiaries. We believe that the majority of the
claimants were assembly workers at the major
U.S. automobile manufacturers. The vast majority of these
claims name as defendants numerous manufacturers and suppliers
of a wide variety of products allegedly containing asbestos. We
believe that, to the extent any of the products sold by our
subsidiaries and at issue in these cases contained asbestos, the
asbestos was encapsulated. Based upon several years of
experience with such claims, we believe that only a small
proportion of the claimants has or will ever develop any
asbestos-related impairment.
Neither our settlement costs in connection with asbestos claims
nor our annual legal fees to defend these claims have been
material in the past. These claims are strongly disputed by us
and it has been our policy to defend against them aggressively.
We have been successful in obtaining the dismissal of many cases
without any payment whatsoever. Moreover, there is significant
insurance coverage with solvent carriers with respect to these
claims. However, while our costs to defend and settle these
claims in the past have not been material, we cannot assure you
that this will remain so in the future.
We believe that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters
will not have a material effect on our financial condition or
results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting
pronouncements.
Outlook
The Company updated its full year 2005 outlook to include the
second quarter one-time tax benefit in Poland and to reflect
current industry assumptions.
The Company expects revenue in the
range of $12.5 to $12.9 billion and earnings per diluted
share in the range of $1.60 to $1.80. Earnings guidance has been
updated to include restructuring related expenses of
approximately $70 million and a revised effective tax rate
range of 43% to 50%, which now reflects the impact of the
one-time tax benefit in Poland. This guidance also includes
$33 million of expenses for amortization of intangibles.
Lastly,
the Company expects capital expenditures to total
approximately 4% of sales for the year.
For the third quarter of 2005,
the Company expects revenue of
approximately $2.9 billion and results ranging from a loss
per share of $(0.08) to earnings per diluted share of $0.05.
Third quarter guidance includes net pre-tax restructuring costs
of approximately $30 million.
The expected annual effective tax rate guidance is dependent on
several assumptions, including the level and mix of future
income by taxing jurisdiction, current enacted global corporate
tax rates and global corporate tax laws remaining constant.
Changes in tax law and rates could have a significant impact on
the effective rate. The overall effective tax rate is equal to
consolidated tax expense as a percentage of consolidated
earnings before tax. However, tax expense and benefits are not
recognized on a global basis but rather on a jurisdictional
basis. We are in a position whereby losses incurred in certain
jurisdictions provide no current financial statement benefit. In
addition, certain taxing jurisdictions have statutory rates
greater than or less than the Unites States statutory rate. As
such, changes in the mix of projected earnings between
jurisdictions could have a significant impact on our overall
effective tax rate.
Annually, we purchase large quantities of ferrous metals, resins
and textiles for use in our manufacturing process either
indirectly as part of purchased components, or directly as raw
materials, and therefore we continue to be exposed to the recent
inflationary pressures impacting the ferrous metal, resin/yarn
and other commodity markets on a worldwide basis. We are also
concerned about the viability of the Tier 2 and Tier 3
supply base as they face these inflationary pressures. We are
monitoring the situation closely and where applicable are
working with suppliers and customers to mitigate the potential
effect on our financial results. However, our efforts to
mitigate the effects may be insufficient and the pressures may
worsen, thus potentially having a negative impact on our
financial results.
36
Given the nature of our global operations, we maintain an
inherent exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies relative
to the U.S. dollar which has recently strengthened
significantly against such currencies. Should this trend
continue, it could have a negative impact on our results of
operations due to our proportional concentration of sales
volumes in countries outside the United States.

is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no
assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and
projections will be achieved.
There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important
factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially
from the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors which
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by our forward-looking statements are set forth in our
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 (the
“10-K”) and our Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 1, 2005 and
include: possible production cuts by our customers; escalating
pricing pressures from our customers; severe inflationary
pressures impacting the markets for ferrous metals and other
commodities; non-performance by, or insolvency of, our suppliers
and customers; our substantial leverage; interest rate risk
arising from our variable rate indebtedness; the highly
competitive automotive parts industry and its cyclicality;
product liability and warranty and recall claims; our dependence
on our largest customers; loss of market share by domestic
vehicle manufacturers; limitations on flexibility in operating
our business contained in our debt agreements; fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates; the possibility that our owners’
interests will conflict with ours; work stoppages or other labor
issues and other risks and uncertainties set forth under

| ITEM 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISKS |
Our primary market risk arises from fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We
manage foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk,
and to a lesser extent commodity price risk, by utilizing
various derivative instruments and limit the use of such
instruments to hedging activities. We do not use such
instruments for speculative or trading purposes. If we did not
use derivative instruments, our exposure to such risk would be
higher. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparty to the derivative financial
instruments. We limit this exposure by entering into agreements
directly with a number of major financial institutions that meet
our credit standards and that are expected to fully satisfy
their obligations under the
contracts.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We utilize
derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency
exchange rate risks. Forward
contracts and, to a lesser extent,
options are utilized to protect our cash
37
flow from adverse movements in exchange rates. These derivative
instruments are only used to hedge transactional exposures.
Risks associated with translation exposures are not hedged.
Transactional currency exposures are reviewed monthly and any
natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a
derivative financial instrument. As of
July 1, 2005,
approximately 21% of our total debt was in foreign currencies
compared to 20% at
June 25, 2004.
Interest Rate Risk. We are subject to interest rate risk
in connection with the issuance of variable- and fixed-rate
debt. In order to manage interest costs, we utilize interest
rate swap agreements to exchange fixed- and variable-rate
interest payment obligations over the life of the agreements.
Our exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from changes
in London Inter-Bank Offered Rates (LIBOR). As of
July 1,
2005, approximately 65% of our total debt was at variable
interest rates compared to 55% at
June 25, 2004.
Sensitivity Analysis. We utilize a sensitivity analysis
model to calculate the fair value, cash flows or income
statement impact that a hypothetical 10% change in market rates
would have on our debt and derivative instruments. For
derivative instruments, we utilized applicable forward rates in
effect as of
July 1, 2005 to calculate the fair value or
cash flow impact resulting from this hypothetical change in
market rates. The results of the sensitivity model calculations
follow:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based
on their evaluation of the effectiveness of
the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of
July 1, 2005, have
concluded that
the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures are adequate and effective in alerting them on a
timely basis to material information relating to
the Company
required to be included in
the Company’s reports filed
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There were no significant changes in
the Company’s internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

PART II
|
|
| ITEM 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Except as set forth in this Quarterly report under
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations —
Environmental” and
“Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations — Contingencies,” there have been no
material developments in legal proceedings involving
the Company
or its
subsidiaries since those reported in
the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 1, 2005.
|
|
| ITEM 2. |
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS |
The independent trustee of our 401(k) plans and similar plans
purchases shares in the open market to fund investments by
employees in our common stock, one of the investment options
available under such plans, and matching contributions in
Company stock to employee investments. In addition, our stock
incentive plan permits payment of an option exercise price by
means of cashless exercise through a broker and for the
satisfaction of tax obligations upon exercise of options and the
vesting of restricted stock units through stock withholding.
However,
the Company does not believe such purchases or
transactions are issuer repurchases for the purposes of this
Item 2 of this Report on Form 10-Q. In addition,
although our stock incentive plan also permits the satisfaction
of tax obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock through
stock withholding, there was no such withholding in the second
quarter of 2005.

OTHER INFORMATION |
Amendment to Employment Agreements. On
July 29,
2005, TRW Automotive Inc. or TRW Limited, both wholly owned
subsidiaries of
the Company, entered into amendments to the
employment agreements with certain of
the Company’s
executive officers (David Bialosky, Joseph Cantie, Peter Lake
and Neil Marchuk) (each, an
“Executive”). Each of the
employment agreements for such Executives previously provided
that the Executive’s employment term would end on
December 31, 2005, subject to automatic one-year extensions
thereafter unless there is prior written notice that it shall
not be so extended. The amendments revise the employment
agreements to provide that the employment term will end on
December 31, 2008, subject to automatic one-year extensions
thereafter unless there is prior written notice that it shall
not be so extended.
