CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) (including Management's Discussion and Analysis of ContentsFinancial Condition and Results of Operations) may constitute forward-looking statements as contemplated by the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (the “Act”) that are based on management's current outlook, expectations, estimates and projections. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "continues," "could," "designed," "effect," "estimates," "evaluates," "expects," "forecasts," "goal," "guidance," "initiative," "intends," "may," "outlook," "plans," "potential," "predicts," "project," "pursue," "seek," "should," "target," "when," "will," "would," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Further, all statements, other than statements of historical fact contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q, that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future regarding our financial position, business strategy and measures to implement that strategy, including changes to operations, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. Accounting estimates, such as those described under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies" in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Form 10-K”), are inherently forward-looking. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and the Company's actual results may differ materially from those expressed, projected, or implied in or by the forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, among others, include: uncertainties regarding the extent and duration of impacts of matters associated with COVID-19/coronavirus; the failure to complete our anticipated acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC (“Delphi Technologies”), as a result of, by way of example, the failure to: satisfy the conditions to the completion of the transaction, obtain the regulatory approvals required for the transaction on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule, or obtain Delphi Technologies stockholder approval in a timely manner or otherwise; our dependence on automotive and truck production, both of which are highly cyclical; our reliance on major OEM customers; commodities availability and pricing; supply disruptions; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; availability of credit; our dependence on key management; our dependence on information systems; the uncertainty of the global economic environment; the outcome of existing or any future legal proceedings, including litigation with respect to various claims; future changes in laws and regulations, including, by way of example, tariffs, in the countries in which we operate; and the other risks, including, by way of example, pandemics and quarantines, noted in reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our most recently-filed Form 10-K as updated by Item 1A of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or announce publicly any updates to or revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, circumstances, or assumptions underlying the statements.

This section and the discussions contained in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and in Item 7, subheading "Critical Accounting Policies" in our most recently-filed Form 10-K are intended to provide meaningful cautionary statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Act. This should not be construed as a complete list of all of the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that could adversely affect our expected consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those not currently known to us or that we currently





believe are immaterial, also may impair our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this report includes non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in understanding the underlying performance and trends of the Company. Readers should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To compensate for these limitations, we use non-GAAP measures as comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance or financial condition. We ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP components in their entirety and that they are computed in a manner intended to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. The Company's method of calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this report.

BORGWARNER INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


(1)      Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2020. The balance sheet as of December 31, 20162019 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019.


Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by those financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain prior period amounts

A novel strain of COVID-19/coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. To date, COVID-19/coronavirus has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in travel restrictions, closing of borders and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. As a result, COVID-19/coronavirus has impacted the Company's business globally. Many OEMs have been reclassifiedannounced that they have suspended manufacturing operations, particularly in North America and Europe, on a temporary basis due to conformmarket conditions and matters associated with COVID-19/coronavirus. Additionally, as a global manufacturer, the Company is responding to current period presentation.shelter-in-place and similar government orders in various locations around the world, including throughout the United States and Europe, resulting in the temporary closures of the Company's manufacturing and assembly facilities.


The Company assessed certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information, including, but not limited to, its allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of the Company's goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, and valuation allowances in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19/coronavirus as of March 31, 2020 and through the date of this report. As a result of these assessments, there were no impairments or material increases in credit allowances or valuation allowances that impacted the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020. However, the Company's future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19/coronavirus, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards


Update ("ASU") No. 2020-4, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)." It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These optional expedients and exceptions allow a company to choose not to apply certain modification accounting requirements under GAAP to contracts affected by reference rate reform. A company that makes this election would present and account for a modified contract as a continuation of the existing contract. It also enables a company to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships in which the critical terms change due to rate reform. This guidance was effective March 12, 2020 and provides relief to contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance on March 12, 2020, and there was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)." It requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customer in a software licensing arrangement under the internal-use software guidance (Subtopic 350-40). This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, and the impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was immaterial.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)." It removes disclosure requirements on fair value measurements including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also amends and clarifies certain disclosures and adds new disclosure requirements including the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, and there was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)." It replaces the current incurred loss impairment method with a new method that reflects expected credit losses. Under this new model an entity would recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, and the impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was immaterial.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-1, "Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint  Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)." It clarifies the interaction between the accounting for equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivative instruments. Specifically, for the purposes of applying the ASC Topic 321 measurement alternative, a company should consider observable transactions immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. Additionally, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options entered into to purchase securities, a company should not consider if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method (ASC Topic 323) or fair value option (ASC Topic 825). This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting


Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740 and improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20)." It (i) requires the removal of disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial; (ii) clarifies specific requirements of certain disclosures; and (iii) adds new disclosure requirements, including the weighted average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates, and reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact and it will include enhanced disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

(3) Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company manufactures and sells products, primarily to OEMs of light vehicles and, to a lesser extent, to other OEMs of commercial vehicles, off-highway vehicles, certain tier one vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket. Although the Company may enter into long-term supply arrangements with its major customers, the prices and volumes are not fixed over the life of the arrangements, and a contract does not exist for purposes of applying ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", until volumes are contractually known. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the Company's products. For most of the Company's products, transfer of control occurs upon shipment or delivery; however, a limited number of the Company's customer arrangements for highly customized products with no alternative use provide the Company with the right to payment during the production process. As a result, for these limited arrangements, revenue is recognized as goods are produced and control transfers to the customer using the input cost-to-cost method. The Company recorded a contract asset of $9 million and $10 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for these arrangements. These amounts are reflected in Prepayments and other current assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. The Company has a limited number of arrangements with customers where the price paid by the customer is dependent on the volume of product purchased over the term of the arrangement. In other limited arrangements, the Company will provide a rebate to customers based on the volume of products purchased during the course of the arrangement. The Company estimates the volumes to be sold over the term of the arrangement and recognizes revenue based on the estimated amount of consideration to be received from these arrangements.
The Company’s payment terms with customers are customary and vary by customer and geography but typically range from 30 to 90 days. The Company has evaluated the terms of its arrangements and determined that they do not contain significant financing components. The Company provides warranties on some of its products. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. Refer to Note 9, "Product Warranty," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in sales, while costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. The Company has elected to apply the accounting policy election available under ASC Topic 606 and accounts for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost.
In limited instances, certain customers have provided payments in advance of receiving related products, typically at the onset of an arrangement prior to the beginning of production. These contract liabilities are reflected as Accounts payable and accrued expenses and Other non-current liabilities in the


Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $13 million and $9 million at March 31, 2020 and $10 million and $12 million at December 31, 2019, respectively. These amounts are reflected as revenue over the term of the arrangement (typically 3 to 7 years) as the underlying products are shipped.
The Company continually seeks business development opportunities and at times provides customer incentives for new program awards. The Company evaluates the underlying economics of each amount of consideration payable to a customer to determine the proper accounting by understanding the reasons for the payment, the rights and obligations resulting from the payment, the nature of the promise in the contract, and other relevant facts and circumstances. When the Company determines that the payments are incremental and incurred only if the new business is obtained and expects to recover these amounts from the customer over the term of the new business arrangement, the Company capitalizes these amounts. The Company recognizes a reduction to revenue, when the products that the upfront payments are related to, are transferred to the customer based on the total amount of products expected to be sold over the term of the arrangement (generally 3 to 7 years). The Company evaluates the amounts capitalized each period end for recoverability and expenses any amounts that are no longer expected to be recovered over the term of the business arrangement. The Company had $38 million and $37 million recorded in Prepayments and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company had $171 million and $180 million recorded in Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company's business is comprised of 2 reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. Refer to Note 20, "Reporting Segments," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

(4)(6) Income Taxes


The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income.

Fair market values of the senior unsecured notes are developed using observable values for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820. The carrying values of the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program approximates fair value. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.


The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $31.5 million and $32.3$28 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2019. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.



(9)(11) Fair Value Measurements


ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specificentity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:


Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2:Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.


Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC Topic 820:


A.
Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.
B.
Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
C.
Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).




The following tables classify assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016:2019:

(10)(12) Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities.securities and accounts receivable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their book value approximates their fair value. The Company’s financial instruments may include long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swaps and options, commodity derivative contracts and foreign currency derivative contracts. All derivative contracts are placed with counterparties that have an S&P, or equivalent, investment grade credit rating at the time of the contracts’ placement. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the Company had no derivative contracts that contained credit risk related contingent features.


The Company uses certain commodity derivative contracts to protect against commodity price changes related to forecasted raw material and suppliescomponent purchases. The Company primarily utilizes forward and option contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the following commodity derivative contracts were outstanding:

The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to optimize its interest costs. The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps and options to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges and cash flow hedges). At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2019, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps. On February 19, 2020, the Company executed a €750 million notional interest rate swaption contract expiring June 30, 2020, and designated this contract as a cash flow hedge, to mitigate against interest rate fluctuations on anticipated debt issuance. The premium cost for this contract is immaterial. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") related to this swaption.



The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to protect against exchange rate movements for forecasted cash flows, (cash flow hedges), remeasurement exposures that affect earnings (non-designated hedges), and exposures associated with the Company’s net investments in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). Forecasted cash flows may includeincluding capital expenditures, inventory purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. In addition, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposure associated with its net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). The Company has also designated its Euro-denominatedEuro-denominated debt as a net investment hedge of the Company's investment in European subsidiaries. Foreign currency derivative contracts require the Company, at a European subsidiary.

future date, to either buy or sell foreign currency in exchange for the operating units’ local currency. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the following foreign currency derivative contracts were outstanding:

(14)(17)  Contingencies


In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be.


The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company's management does not expect that an adverse outcome in any of these other commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows, although itsuch adverse outcome could be material to the results of operations in a particular quarter.


Environmental


The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 2714 such sites.sites as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.


The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.


BasedThe Company had an accrual for environmental liabilities of $3 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. This accrual is based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; and remediation alternatives),.

Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Investigation

On July 31, 2018, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC informed the Company hasthat it is conducting an accrual for indicated environmental liabilities of $6.9 million and $6.3 million at September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the amounts accrued for environmental liability over the next five years.

In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation (“Kuhlman Electric”), a former indirect subsidiary, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric against certain environmental liabilities relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s 1999 acquisition of Kuhlman Electric. Kuhlman Electric was sued by plaintiffs alleging personal injuries purportedly arising from contamination at Kuhlman Electric’s Crystal Springs, Mississippi facility. The Company understands that Kuhlman Electric was required by regulatory officials to remediate such contamination.  Kuhlman Electric and its new owner tendered the personal injury lawsuits and regulatory demandsinvestigation related to the Company. After the Company made certain payments to the plaintiffs and undertook certain remediation on Kuhlman Electric’s behalf, litigation regarding the validity of the indemnity ensued. The underlying personal injury lawsuits and indemnity litigation now have been fully resolved. The Company continues to pursue litigation against Kuhlman Electric’sCompany's historical insurersaccounting for reimbursement of amounts it paid on behalf of Kuhlman Electric under the indemnity. The Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings relating to these matters.

Asbestos-related Liability

Like many other industrial companies that have historically operated in the United States, the Company, or parties that the Company is obligated to indemnify, continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions.  We believe that the Company’s involvement is limited because

these claims generally relate to a few types of automotive products that were manufactured over thirty years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos.  The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation of the asbestos, and the manner of the products’ use all lead the Company to believe that these products were and are highly unlikely to cause harm.  Furthermore, the useful life of nearly all of these products expired many years ago. 

The Company’s asbestos-related claims activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:
    
 2017 2016
Beginning Claims January 19,385
 10,061
New Claims Received1,597
 1,626
Dismissed Claims(1,273) (1,942)
Settled Claims(326) (256)
Ending Claims September 309,383
 9,489

It is probable that additional asbestos-related claims will be asserted against the Company in the future.  The Company vigorously defends against these claims, and has obtained the dismissal of the majority of the claims asserted against it without any payment.  The Company likewise expects that no payment will be made by the Company or its insurers in the vast majority of current and future asbestos-related claims in which it has been or will be named (or has an obligation to indemnify a party which has been or will be named).

Through September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had accrued and paid$518.6 million and $477.7 million, respectively, in indemnity (including settlement payments) and defense costs in connection with asbestos-related claims. These gross payments are before tax benefits and any insurance receipts. Indemnity and defense costs are incorporated into the Company's operating cash flows and will continue to be in the future.

The Company reviews, on an ongoing basis, its own experience in handling asbestos-related claims and trends affecting asbestos-related claims in the U.S. tort system generally, for the purposes of assessing the value of pending asbestos-related claims and the number and value of those that may be asserted in the future, as well as potential recoveries from the Company’s insurers with respect to such claims and defense costs.During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company determined that a reasonable estimate of its liability for asbestos claims not yet asserted could be made, and the Company increased its aggregate estimated liability for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential asbestos-related claims not yet asserted to $879.3 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company's estimate is not discounted to present value and includes an estimate of liability for potential future claims not yet asserted through December 31, 2059 with a runoff through 2067.asserted. The Company currently believes that December 31, 2067 is a reasonable assumption as to the last date on which it is likely to have resolved all asbestos-related claims, based on the nature and useful life of the Company’s products and the likelihood of incidence of asbestos-related disease in the U.S. population generally. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s reasonable best estimate of the aggregate liability for both asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential asbestos-related claims not yet asserted, including estimated defense costs, is as follows:
(in millions) 
Asbestos Liability as of December 31, 2016$879.3
Indemnity and Defense Related Costs(41.0)

consultant. In developing such estimate, the third-party consultant projected a potential number of future claims based on the Company’s historical claim filings and patterns and compared that to anticipated levels of unique plaintiff asbestos-related claims asserted in the U.S. tort system against all defendants.  The consultant also utilized assumptions based on the Company’s historical proportion of claims resolved without payment, historical settlement costs for those claims that result in a payment, and historical defense costs.  The liabilities were then estimated by multiplying the pending and projected future claim filings by projected payments rates and average settlement amounts and then adding an estimate for defense costs.

The Company’s estimate of the indemnity and defense costs for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential claims not yet asserted is its reasonable best estimate of such costs. Such estimate is subject to numerous uncertainties.  These include future legislative or judicial changes affecting the U.S. tort system, bankruptcy proceedings involving one or more co-defendants, the impact and timing of payments from bankruptcy trusts that presently exist and those that may exist in the future, disease emergence and associated claim filings, the impact of future settlements or significant judgments, changes in the medical condition of claimants, changes in the treatment of asbestos-related disease, and any changes in settlement or defense strategies. The balances recorded for asbestos-related claims are based on best available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, including as to the number of future claims that may be asserted, the percentage of claims that may result in a payment, the average cost to resolve such claims, and potential defense costs. The Company concluded that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional losses through 2067 for asbestos-related claims, in addition to amounts recorded, of up to approximately $100.0 million as of September 30, 2017. The various assumptions utilized in arriving at the Company’s estimate may also change over time, and the Company’s actual liability for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and those not yet asserted may be higher or lower than the Company’s estimate as a result of such changes.

The Company has certain insurance coverage applicableinitiated a comprehensive plan to asbestos-related claims.  Priorreduce existing structural costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $5 million and $2 million in the Engine and Drivetrain segments, respectively, primarily related to June 2004, the settlement and defenseseverance costs, for actions associated with all asbestos-related claims were paid by the Company's primary layer insurance carriers under a series of interim funding arrangements.

The Company is vigorously pursuing2019, respectively.

During the litigation against all carriers that are parties to it, as well as pursuing settlement discussions with its carriers where appropriate.  The Company has entered into settlement agreements with certain of its insurance carriers, resolving such insurance carriers’ coverage disputes through the carriers’ agreement to pay specified amounts to the Company, either immediately or over a specified period. Through September 30, 2017 and Decemberthree months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had received $270.0 million in cash and notes from insurers on account of indemnity and defense costs respecting asbestos-related claims.

The Company continues to have additional excess insurance coverage available for potential future asbestos-related claims. The Company also reviews the amount of its unresolved, unexhausted excess insurance coverage for asbestos-related claims, taking into account the remaining limits of such coverage, the number and amount of claims from co-insured parties, the ongoing litigation against the Company’s insurers described above, potential remaining recoveries from insolvent insurers, the impact of previous insurance settlements, and coverage available from solvent insurers not party to the coverage litigation.    Based on that review, the Company has estimated that as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 that it has $386.4 millionin aggregate insurance coverage available with respect to asbestos-related claims already satisfied by the Company but not yet reimbursed by the insurers, asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved, and asbestos-related claims not yet asserted, in each case together with their associated defense costs. In each case, such amounts are expected to be fully recovered. However, the resolution of the insurance coverage litigation, and the number and amount of claims on our insurance from co-insured

The Company plans tocompetitiveness and explore strategic options for non-core product lines to improve the overall competitiveness of its remaining European emissions business in the Engine segment. These actions may result in the recognition of impairment or additional restructuring charges that could be material.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company initiated actions primarily in the Drivetrain segment designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness. As a continuation of these actions, the Company finalized severance agreements with three labor unions at separate facilities in Western Europe for approximately 450 employees. The Company recorded restructuring expense related to these facilities of $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which included employee termination benefits of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, the Company recorded other restructuring expense of $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company initiated actions to improve the future profitability and competitiveness of Gustav Wahler GmbH u. Co. KG and its general partner ("Wahler"). The Company recorded restructuring expense related to Wahler of $9.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which included employee termination benefits of $4.1 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Remy. As a result of actions following this transaction, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $1.3 million and $6.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Included in this restructuring expense is $3.1 million related to winding down certain operations in North America in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, the Company recorded employee termination benefits of $0.3 million and $2.0 million primarily related to contractually required severance associated with Remy executive officers and other employee termination benefits in Mexico in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Cash payments for these restructuring activities are expected to be complete by the end of 2017.

Estimates of restructuring expense are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded. Accordingly, the Company may record revisions of previous estimates by adjusting previously established accruals.


The Company is evaluating numerous options across its operations and plans to take additional restructuring actions to reduce existing structural costs over the next few years. These actions are expected to result in significant restructuring expense.

(16)(19) Earnings Per Share


The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc.the Company by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc.the Company by the weighted average shares of common stock and common equivalent stock outstanding during the reporting period.


The dilutive impact of stock-based compensation is calculated using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the assumed proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under

(18) New Accounting Pronouncements(21) Recent Transactions and Events

Proposed Acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC

On January 28, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") to acquire Delphi Technologies PLC (“Delphi Technologies”) in an all-stock transaction. The transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of 2020, is subject to approval by Delphi Technologies' stockholders, receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions.

On March 30, 2020, Delphi Technologies provided notice to the lenders pursuant to its credit agreement, dated September 7, 2017, as amended, to draw the full available amount under the revolving facility thereunder (the “Revolver Draw”), resulting in a total of $500 million outstanding under the revolving facility. Following the Revolver Draw, on March 30, 2020, the Company sent a written notice to Delphi Technologies asserting that Delphi Technologies materially breached the Transaction Agreement

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)." It expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and reduces complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. It eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. It also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from assessment of hedge effectiveness. The guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the guidance and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Scope of Modification Accounting." Under this guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification

This guidance is effective prospectively for interimRevolver Draw without the Company’s prior written consent and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted.asserting that, if such breach was not cured within 30 days, the Company had the right to terminate the Transaction Agreement. The Company received a response letter from Delphi Technologies on that date disputing the Company’s breach assertion on the basis that the Company unreasonably withheld and conditioned its consent to the Revolver Draw, in material breach of the Transaction Agreement.
On May 6, 2020, the Company and Delphi Technologies entered into an Amendment and Consent Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company consented to the Revolver Draw subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Amendment. The Amendment also amends the Transaction Agreement to include the following additional conditions to the Company's obligations to close the transaction (the “Closing”): (a) as of 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on the date immediately prior to the Closing, (i) the net amount of the revolver borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement (net of cash balances) does not expectexceed $115 million, and (ii) the total amount of revolver borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement does not exceed$225 million, and (b) Delphi Technologies has satisfied a specified net-debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio. In addition, the Company and Delphi Technologies have agreed to reduce the exchange ratio such that, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Company will issue, in exchange for each Delphi Technologies share, 0.4307 shares of BorgWarner common stock. Other than as set forth in the Amendment, no additional changes or waivers with respect to the Transaction Agreement and the obligations thereunder were made, granted or consented to by the Company and Delphi Technologies and the Transaction Agreement remains in full force and effect in all respects.
Upon closing of the transaction, current BorgWarner stockholders are expected to own approximately 85% of the combined company, while current Delphi Technologies shareholders are expected to own approximately 15%.

BorgWarner Morse TEC LLC

Like many other industrial companies that have historically operated in the United States, the Company, or parties that the Company was obligated to indemnify, had been named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions. On October 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Enstar Holdings (US) LLC ("Enstar"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred 100% of the equity interests of BorgWarner Morse TEC LLC ("Morse TEC") to Enstar. As Morse TEC was the obligor for the Company's asbestos-related liabilities and policyholder of the related insurance assets, the rights and obligations related to these items transferred upon the sale, and pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Morse TEC indemnifies the Company and its affiliates for asbestos-related liabilities as more specifically described in the Purchase Agreement. This indemnification obligation with respect to Asbestos-Related Liabilities (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not subject to any cap or time limitation. Following the completion of this guidancetransfer, the Company has no obligation with respect to have any impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017,accordance with ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation," this subsidiary was derecognized as the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "ImprovingCompany ceased to control the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Costentity, and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost."

The Company does not expectaccounts for this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017,investment in Series A-1 Preferred Stock of Romeo under the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." It eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for annual and any interim impairment testsmeasurement alternative in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company plans to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2017 in conjunction with the annual goodwill impairment test. The Company does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, ASC Topic 321, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business." It revises the definition of a business and provides a framework to evaluate when an input and a substantive process are present in an acquisition to be considered a business. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Restricted Cash." It requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." It provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how they are classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." Under this guidance, the areas of simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, impact on earnings per share and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Upon adopting this guidance in the first nine months of 2017, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.8 million within provision for income tax related to the excess tax benefit on share-based awards and reflected the excess tax benefit in operating activities rather than financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company elected to apply this change in presentation prospectively and thus prior periods have not been adjusted. The Company also excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The impact of this change was de minimis. Additionally, the Company elected

not to change its policy on accounting for forfeitures and continued to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842).Investments - Equity Securities" Under this guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases defined under previous GAAP. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." It requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not havewithout a readily determinable fair valuesvalue. Such investments are measured at cost, minusless any impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for thean identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

The estimated fair value of Romeo was determined using unobservable inputs including quantitative information from lower valuations in recently completed or proposed financings and the liquidation preferences included in the Romeo stock agreements. These unobservable inputs are considered Level 3.

In September 2019, the Company and Romeo contributed total equity of $10 million and formed a new joint venture, BorgWarner Romeo Power LLC (the "Romeo JV"), in which the Company owns 60% interest.

Rinehart Motion Systems LLC and AM Racing LLC

On January 2, 2019, the Company acquired Rinehart Motion Systems LLC and AM Racing LLC, two established companies in the specialty electric and hybrid propulsion market, for approximately $15 million, of which $10 million was paid in the first quarter of 2019, $2 million was paid in the first quarter of 2020 and the remaining $3 million will be paid upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

The new guidance may require revenue to be recognized over time as the parts are being produced rather than upon shipment or delivery of the parts. In addition, the Company is assessing the impact of pricing provisions contained in some of our contracts and customer arrangements which may represent variable consideration or provide the customer with a material right. Additional work needs to be completed in order to finalize the conclusion of the impact of pricing structures. During 2017, based on the Company’s assessment of existing contracts and revenue streams, the Company has refined its internal policy to include criteria for evaluating the impact of the new standard on thenot drawn any amounts and timing of revenue recognition. Further, the Company is in the process of implementing appropriate refinements to the business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard later in the fourth quarter of 2017 which will allow the Company to obtain the information necessary to determine the cumulative effect adjustment to be recorded upon adoption of this guidance. Training of employees on the impacts of the standard and refinements to our processes, systems and controls will continue throughout 2017.

(19) Recent Transactions

On September 27, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Sevcon for cash of $185.7 million. This amount includes $26.6 million paid to settle outstanding debt and $5.1 million paid in October 2017 for Sevcon stock-based awards attributable to pre combination services.
Table of Contents



Sevcon is a global player in electrification technologies, serving customers in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, China and the Asia Pacific region. Sevcon complements BorgWarner’s power electronics capabilities utilized to provide electrified propulsion solutions.

Sevcon's assets are reported within the Company's Drivetrain reporting segment as of the date of the acquisition. Sevcon's operating results from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2017 were insignificant. The Company paid $180.6 million in September 2017, which is reported as an investing activity in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The following table summarizes the aggregated preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on September 27, 2017, the date of acquisition:
(millions of dollars)  
Receivables, net $15.9
Inventories, net 19.0
Other current assets 3.1
Property, plant and equipment, net 7.4
Goodwill 133.6
Other intangible assets 61.1
Deferred tax liabilities (8.6)
Income taxes payable (0.7)
Other assets and liabilities (2.7)
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (23.3)
Total consideration, net of cash acquired 204.8
   
Less: Assumed retirement-related liabilities 19.1
Less: Consideration paid in October 2017 5.1
Cash paid in September 2017, net of cash acquired $180.6

In connection with the acquisition, the Company capitalized $19.0 million for customer relationships, $37.9 million for developed technology and $4.2 million for the Sevcon trade name. These intangible assets, excluding the indefinite-lived trade name, will be amortized over a period of 7 to 20 years. Various valuation techniques were used to determine the fair value of the intangible assets, with the primary techniques being forms of the income approach, specifically, the relief-from-royalty and excess earnings valuation methods, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Under these valuation approaches, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates based on budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Due to the nature of the transaction, goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company is in the process of finalizing all purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill, intangible assets and deferred taxes are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition.

Due to its insignificant size relative to the Company, supplemental pro forma financial information of the combined entity for the current and prior reporting period is not provided.

COVID-19/CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

A novel strain of COVID-19/coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. To date, COVID-19/coronavirus has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in travel restrictions, closing of borders and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. Furthermore, COVID-19/coronavirus has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The continued spread of COVID-19/coronavirus has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which adversely impacts the access to capital and increases the cost of capital.

As a result, COVID-19/coronavirus has impacted our business globally. Many OEMs have announced that they have suspended manufacturing operations, particularly in North America and Europe, on a temporary basis due to market conditions and matters associated with COVID-19/coronavirus. Significant reductions in automotive or truck production would have an adverse effect on the Company's sales to OEMs in these regions, which comprised approximately 70% of the Company's total sales in 2019. Additionally, as a global manufacturer, we are responding to shelter-in-place and similar government orders in various locations around the world, including throughout the United States and Europe.

In response to the outbreak and business disruption, we have, first and foremost, prioritized the health and safety of our employees. Lessons learned from the first interactions with the COVID-19/coronavirus led to a number of employee safety measures to contain the spread, including domestic and international travel restrictions, work-from-home practices, extensive cleaning protocols, and various temporary closures of our manufacturing and assembly facilities.

The Company has implemented a range of actions aimed at temporarily reducing costs and preserving liquidity. These actions include, but are not limited to:

a temporary 20% reduction in base salaries of the Company's senior executive leadership team and annual retainers of the Company’s non-employee directors;
up to 10% temporary base pay reductions for other salaried employees; and
reducing discretionary spending, such as outside professional services

On September 27, 2017,

The Company will continue to evaluate further ways to manage costs in line with reduced sales levels.

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside of our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company acquired 100%cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19/coronavirus on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, we do expect that it will have a material adverse impact on our revenue and overall profitability and may lead to additional temporary closure costs, supply chain disruptions and a volatile effective tax rate driven by changes in the mix of earnings across the Company’s jurisdictions.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had liquidity of $2,401 million, comprised of cash balances of $901 million and an undrawn revolving credit facility of $1,500 million. The Company is in full compliance with its covenants under the revolving credit facility and has full access to its undrawn revolving credit facility. Total debt maturities through the end of 2021 of $284 million include $34 million in short-term borrowings and $250 million in current portion of long-term borrowings. Given its strong liquidity position, the Company believes it will have sufficient liquidity and maintain compliance with all covenants throughout the next 12 months even in an environment with significantly lower OEM production volumes.

Emissions Business Restructuring

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $12.6 million, primarily due to the initiation of actions within its emissions business in the Engine segment designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness. The Company plans to explore strategic options for non-core product lines to improve the overall competitiveness of its remaining European emissions business in the Engine segment. These actions may result in the recognition of impairment or additional restructuring charges that could be material.

Reporting Segments


The Company's business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.


The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital ("ROIC") of its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Adjusted EBIT after deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required. Adjusted EBIT is comprised of earnings before interest, income taxes and noncontrolling interest (“EBIT") adjusted for restructuring, goodwill impairment charges, affiliates' earnings and other items not reflective of on-going operating income or loss.


Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our reporting segments. The following tables show segment information and Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments.

to the anticipated acquisition of Delphi Technologies, the receipt of proceeds from a capital markets transaction, or the receipt of proceeds from any asset sales outside the ordinary course of business.

The Company's net debt to net capital ratio was 33.6% at September 30, 2017 versus 35.0% at December 31, 2016.

TheFrom a credit quality perspective, the Company hashad a credit rating of BBB+ from both Standard & Poor’sPoor's and Fitch Ratings and Baa1 from Moody's.Moody's as of December 31, 2019, with a stable outlook from all rating agencies. On January 28, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Delphi Technologies. Due to uncertainties surrounding this anticipated transaction and the recent business disruptions from COVID-19/coronavirus, Moody's placed the Company's Baa1 rating under review for possible downgrade, while Standard & Poor's placed the Company on CreditWatch with negative implications. The Company’s current outlook from Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings isremained stable. During 2016, Moody's revised its outlook from stable to negative. None of the Company’sCompany's debt agreements require accelerated repayment in the event of a downgrade in credit ratings.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $203.9$91 million to $106.2$62 million in the first ninethree months of 20172020 from $310.1$153 million in the first ninethree months of 2016.2019. This decrease is primarily driven by share repurchases of $67 million in the first three months of 2019 and lower repayments of debt in the first three months of 2020.

COVID-19/coronavirus has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce the Company's ability to access capital or its customers’ ability to pay the Company stockfor past or future purchases, and higher short term borrowings.

We believewhich could negatively affect the Company's liquidity. The Company, however, believes that the combination of cash balances, cash from operations, cash balances, available credit facilities, and the universal shelf registration capacity will be sufficient to satisfy ourits cash needs for our current level of operations, our planned operations for the foreseeable future and ourthe current share repurchase program. We willThe Company intends to continue to balance ourcapital allocation to support its needs for internal growth, external growth, the return of capital to stockholders, debt reduction and cash conservation.





CONTINGENCIES


In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company's management does not expect that an adverse outcome in any of these other commercial and legal
Table of Contents

claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows, although itsuch adverse outcome could be material to the results of operations in a particular quarter.


Environmental


The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 2714 such sites.sites as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.


The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.


SeeRefer to Note 14 - Contingencies17, "Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and information respecting the Company’s environmental liability.

Asbestos-related Liability

Like many other industrial companies that have historically operated in the United States, the Company, or parties the Company is obligated to indemnify, continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions.  The Company has an estimated liability of $838.3 million as of September 30, 2017 for asbestos-related claims and associated costs through 2067, which is the last date by which the Company currently estimates it is likely to have resolved all asbestos-related claims. The Company additionally estimates that, as of September 30, 2017, it has aggregate insurance coverage available in the amount of $386.4 million to satisfy asbestos-related claims already satisfied by the Company but not yet reimbursed by insurers, asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved, and asbestos-related claims not yet asserted, as well as defense costs associated with each.  See Note 14 - Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and information respecting the Company’s asbestos-related liability and corresponding insurance asset.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Form 10-Q (including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) may contain forward-looking statements as contemplated by the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (the “Act”) that are based on management's current outlook, expectations, estimates and projections. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "continues," "could," "designed," "effect," "estimates," "evaluates," "expects," "forecasts," "goal," "initiative," "intends," "outlook," "plans," "potential," "project," "pursue," "seek," "should," "target," "when," "would," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q, that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future regarding our financial position, business strategy and measures to implement that strategy, including changes to operations, competitive strengths, goals,
Table of Contents

expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. Accounting estimates, such as those described under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies" in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, are inherently forward-looking. These statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and the Company's actual results may differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Such risks and uncertainties include: fluctuations in domestic or foreign vehicle production; the continued use by original equipment manufacturers of outside suppliers, the ability to achieve anticipated benefits from, and to successfully integrate, acquisitions, fluctuations in demand for vehicles containing our products; changes in general economic conditions; and the other risks noted under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update or announce publicly any updates to or revision to any of the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, circumstances, or assumptions underlying the statements.

This section and the discussions contained in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and in Item 7, subheading "Critical Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, are intended to provide meaningful cautionary statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Act. This should not be construed as a complete list of all of the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that could adversely affect our expected consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this report includes non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in understanding the underlying performance and trends of the Company. Readers should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To compensate for these limitations, we use non-GAAP measures as comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance or financial condition. We ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and that they are computed in a manner intended to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. The Company's method of calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP or in-effect regulatory requirements. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, can be found in this report.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


There have been no material changes to the information concerning our exposures to interest rate risk or commodity price risk as stated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that wethe Company will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currently, ourthe Company's most significant currency exposures relate to the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi, the Euro, the Hungarian Forint, the Japanese Yen, the Mexican Peso, the Swedish Krona and the South Korean Won. We mitigate ourThe Company mitigates its foreign currency exchange rate risk by establishing local production facilities and related supply chain participants in the markets we serve,it serves, by invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of the products and by funding some of ourits investments in foreign markets through local currency loans. WeThe Company also monitor ourmonitors its foreign currency exposure in each country and implementimplements strategies to respond to changing economic and political environments. The depreciation of the British Pound post the United Kingdom's 2016 vote to leave the European Union is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company since net sales from the United Kingdom represent less than 2% of the Company's net sales in 2016. In addition, the Company periodically enters


into forward currency contracts in order to reduce exposure to exchange rate risk related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.


The foreign currency translation adjustment gainloss of $64.2$74 million and $186.6$9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the foreign currency translation gain of $27.9 million and $41.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 contained within ourthe Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) represent the foreign currency translational impacts of converting ourits non-U.S. dollar subsidiaries' financial statements to the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. Dollar).dollar) and the related gains and losses arising from its net investment hedges. The foreign currency translation adjustment gainloss of $64.2$74 million and $186.6 million induring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the impact of a weakeningstrengthening U.S. dollar against the Euro,Korean Won, Chinese Renminbi, and Brazilian Real, which increased approximately 5%, 2% and 23%, respectively, and decreased approximately 4% and 13% since June 30, 2017 andother comprehensive income from December 31, 2016,2019 by approximately $21 million, $19 million and $19 million, respectively. The foreign currency translation adjustment gainloss of $27.9$9 million induring the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2019 was primarily due to the impact of a weakeningstrengthening U.S. dollar against the Euro, Korean Won,which increased approximately 2% and Japanese Yen.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to a number of claims and judicial and administrative proceedings (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the Company’s business or relating to matters for which the Company may have a contractual indemnity obligation. SeeRefer to Note 14 — Contingencies,17, "Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of environmental, asbestos-related liabilityan open SEC investigation and other litigation which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as described below:

Other risks

We face risks related to COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic that could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

The COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic has disrupted, and is likely to continue to disrupt, the global automotive industry and customer sales, production volumes, and purchases of light vehicles by end consumers. Global vehicle production has decreased, and some vehicle manufacturers have completely shut down manufacturing operations in some countries and regions, including the United States and Europe. As a result, we have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, delays in the production and distribution of our products and the loss of sales. If the global economic effects caused by COVID-19/coronavirus continue or increase, overall customer demand may continue to decrease which could have a further adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Global government directives and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19/coronavirus, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, closing of borders, stay-at-home directives and closing of entire plants, cities and countries, have materially impacted our operations. Furthermore, COVID-19/coronavirus has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. For example, the continued spread of COVID-19/coronavirus has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which adversely impacts access to capital and increases the cost of capital.

Due to the speed with which the situation is developing and the uncertainty of its duration and the timing of recovery, we are not able at this time to predict the extent to which COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. The extent of the impact of COVID-19/coronavirus on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frames, will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of COVID-19/coronavirus, its severity, the actions to contain COVID-19/coronavirus or treat its impact, related restrictions on travel, and the duration, timing and severity of the impact on customer production, including any recession resulting from COVID-19/coronavirus, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption as a result of COVID-19/coronavirus would have a further material negative impact on our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition, though the full extent and duration are uncertain.
