CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) (including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) may containconstitute 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, 20182019 (“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" identified in our most recently-filed Form 10-K.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 months ended March 31, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.2020. The balance sheet as of December 31, 20182019 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, 2018.2019.


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.


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 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. Additionally, as a global manufacturer, the Company is responding to 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 February 2016,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards


Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, 2020-4, "LeasesReference Rate Reform (Topic 842)848)." UnderIt 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 guidance, a lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an identified assetelection would present and account for a periodmodified contract as a continuation of timethe existing contract. It also enables a company to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships in exchange for consideration. Lessees will be requiredwhich the critical terms change due to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for leases with a term more than 12 months, including operating leases defined under previous GAAP.rate reform. This guidance iswas effective for interimMarch 12, 2020 and annual reporting periods beginning afterprovides relief to contract modifications through December 15, 2018.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 as of January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method provided in ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements." Under this method, the Company recorded an adjustment as of the effective date and did not include any retrospective adjustments to comparative periods to reflect the adoption of ASC 842. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which among other things, does not require the Company to reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, classification of leases identified, nor classification and treatment of initial direct costs capitalized under ASC 840. The Company also elected the practical expedients to combine the lease and non-lease components. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to apply hindsight as part of the leases evaluation. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASU No. 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842", which allows an entity to not reassess whether any existing land easements are or contain leases.

The majority of the Company’s global lease portfolio represents leases of real estate, such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office buildings, while the remainder represents leases of


personal property, such as vehicle leases, manufacturing and IT equipment. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. The majority of the Company's lease arrangements are comprised of fixed payments and a limited number of these arrangements include a variable payment component based on certain index fluctuations.

Adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of lease right-of-use assets ("lease assets") and lease liabilities of approximately $104 million and $103 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The adoption did not impact consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

The changes made to our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019 for the adoption of ASC 842 were as follows:
(in millions)Balance at December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to ASC 842 Balance at January 1, 2019

 $606
Accounts payable and accrued expenses$2,144
 $23
 $2,167
Other non-current liabilities$357
 $80
 $437

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." It expands the scope of the employee share-based payments guidance, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods and services. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.31, 2022.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

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).

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20)." The new standard (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 is currently assessing the guidance and will include enhanced disclosures in the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

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 iswas effective for interim and annual periods beginning


after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the guidance and does not expectadopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, and there was no impact to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.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 iswas effective for fiscal yearsannual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with2019.

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 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 Onetier 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,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 ourthe Company's products. For most of ourthe Company's products, transfer of control occurs upon shipment or delivery,delivery; however, a limited number of ourthe Company's customer arrangements for our highly customized products with no alternative use provide usthe 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 $11$9 million and $10 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019, respectively, for these arrangements. These amounts are reflected in Prepayments and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet.the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration we expectthe 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. As a result of these arrangements, the Company recognized a liability of $8 million and $6 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These amounts are reflected in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet.
The Company’s payment terms with customers are customary and vary by customer and geography but typically range from 30 to 90 days. We havedays. The Company has evaluated the terms of ourits 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.

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 our consolidated balance sheetthe


Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $12$13 million and $16$9 million at March 31, 20192020 and $13$10 million and


$17 $12 million at December 31, 2018,2019, 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.

(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).

Effectiveness for cash flow hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly, thereafter. Gains and losses arising from these contracts that are included in the assessment of effectiveness are deferred into accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI")AOCI and reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are recognized. These realized gains or losses offset the hedged transaction and are recorded on the same line in the statement of operations. The initial value of any component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness will be recognized in income using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in income under that systematic and rational method will be recognized in AOCI.


Effectiveness for net investment hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly, thereafter. Gains and losses arising from these contracts that are included in the assessment of effectiveness are deferred into foreign currency translation adjustments and only released when the subsidiary being hedged is sold or substantially liquidated. The initial value of any component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness will be recognized in income using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in income under that systematic and rational method will be recognized in AOCI.





The table below shows deferred gains (losses) reported in AOCI as well as the amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less. The amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less assumes no change in the current relationship of the hedged item at March 31, 20192020 market rates.

(17)  Leases

The majority of the Company's global lease portfolio represents leases of real estate, such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office buildings, while the remainder represents leases of personal property, such as vehicle leases, manufacturing and IT equipment. Most of the leases are operating leases with options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years.The option to renew is included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Certain leases also include options to terminate or purchase the leased asset. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that is reasonably certain of exercise. The amount recognized in lease assets and liabilities for lease arrangements that include an option for renewal or early termination that is reasonably certain of being exercised is immaterial. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantee or material restrictive covenants. The Company's policy is to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes.

ASC 842 requires that the rate implicit in the lease be used if readily determinable. Generally, implicit rates are not readily determinable in our contracts and the incremental borrowing rate is used for each lease arrangement. The incremental borrowing rates are determined using rates specific to the term of the lease, economic environments where lease activity is concentrated, value of lease portfolio, and assuming full collateralization of the loans.



All leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not include an option to extend or purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise ("short-term leases") are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The short-term lease cost for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is less than $1 million and the total remaining payments for short-term leases as of March 31, 2019 are less than $1 million.

The following table presents the operating lease assets and lease liabilities as of March 31, 2019:

The Company had less than $1 million of finance lease assets recorded in Property, plant and equipment, net, and less than $1 million of finance lease liabilities recorded in Long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2019.

In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded operating lease cost of $7 million, reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The finance lease cost including amortization of leased assets and interest on lease liabilities was less than $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Variable costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are immaterial, and the Company does not have sublease income or gains/losses on sale leaseback transactions.

As of March 31, 2019, the operating and finance leases that the Company signed but have not yet commenced are immaterial.

(18)  Contingencies


The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. 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 contingencies are discussed 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


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. The PRPslaws and, as such, may currentlypresently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 2814 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.


The Company hashad an accrual for environmental liabilities of $9$3 million as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. This accrual is based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includesincludes: 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).


Asbestos-related LiabilitySecurities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Investigation


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. The Company vigorously defends against these claims, and has been successful in obtaining the dismissal of the majority of the claims asserted against it without any payment. Due to the nature of the fibers used in certain types of automotive products, the encapsulation of the asbestos, and the manner of the products’ use, the Company believes 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 likewise expects that no payment on these claims will be made by the Company or its insurance carriers in the vast majority of current and future asbestos-related claims. 

The Company’s asbestos-related claims activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:
 2019 2018
Beginning Claims January 18,598
 9,225
New Claims Received529
 503
Dismissed Claims(310) (462)
Settled Claims(89) (106)
Ending Claims March 318,728
 9,160

Through March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company incurred$584 million and $574 million, respectively, in asbestos-related claim resolution costs (including settlement payments and judgments) and associated defense costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid $11 million and $15 million, respectively, in asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs. These gross payments are before tax benefits and any potential insurance


receipts. Asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs are reflected in the Company's operating cash flows.

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 insurance carriers with respect to such claims and defense costs. The Company has accrued estimated amounts in its consolidated financial statements on account of asbestos-related claims that have been asserted but not yet resolved and for claims that have not yet been asserted. The Company's estimate of asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs is not discounted to present value and includes an estimate of liability for potential future claims not yet asserted through December 31, 2064 with a runoff through 2074. The Company currently believes that December 31, 2074 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 March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, 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)2019 2018
Beginning asbestos liability as of January 1$805
 $828
Claim resolution costs and associated defense costs(10)
(15)
Ending asbestos liability as of March 31$795

$813

The Company’s estimate of the claim resolution costs and associated 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 currently 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 the 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 has concluded that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional losses through 2074 for asbestos-related claims, in addition to amounts recorded, of up to approximately $100 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. 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 applicable to asbestos-related claims including primary insurance and excess insurance coverage.  Prior to June 2004, claim resolution costs and defense costs associated with all asbestos-related claims were paid by the Company's primary layer insurance carriers under a series of interim funding arrangements. In June 2004, primary layer insurance carriers notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits. A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies against the Company and certain of its historical general liability insurance carriers. The Cook County court has issued a number of interim rulings and discovery is continuing in this proceeding. The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against all insurance carriers that continue to be parties to it, which currently includes excess insurance carriers, as well as


pursuing settlement discussions with its insurance carriers where appropriate. The Company has entered into settlement agreements with certain of its insurance carriers, resolving such insurance carriers’ coverage disputes through the insurance carriers’ agreement to pay specified amounts to the Company, either immediately or over a specified period. Through March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company received $271 million in cash and notes from insurance carriers on account of asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company estimates that it has $386 million in aggregate insurance coverage available with respect to asbestos-related claims, and their associated defense costs. The Company has recorded this insurance coverage as a long-term receivable for asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs that have been incurred, less cash and notes received, and remaining limits as a deferred insurance asset with respect to liabilities recorded for potential future costs for asbestos-related claims. The Company has determined the amount of that estimate by taking into account the remaining limits of the insurance coverage, the number and amount of potential claims from co-insured parties, potential remaining recoveries from insolvent insurance carriers, the impact of previous insurance settlements, and coverage available from solvent insurance carriers not party to the coverage litigation. The Company’s estimated remaining insurance coverage relating to asbestos-related claims and their associated defense costs is the subject of disputes with its insurance carriers, substantially all of which are being adjudicated in the Cook County insurance litigation. The Company believes that its insurance receivable is probable of collection notwithstanding those disputes based on, among other things, the arguments made by the insurance carriers in the Cook County litigation and evaluation of those arguments by the Company and its counsel, the case law applicable to the issues in dispute, the rulings to date by the Cook County court, the absence of any credible evidence alleged by the insurance carriers that they are not liable to indemnify the Company, and the fact that the Company has recovered a substantial portion of its insurance coverage, $271 million, through March 31, 2019, from its insurance carriers under similar policies. However, the resolution of the insurance coverage disputes, and the number and amount of claims on our insurance from co-insured parties, may increase or decrease the amount of such insurance coverage available to the Company as compared to the Company’s estimate.

The amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets respecting asbestos-related claims are as follows:

On July 31, 2018, the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")SEC informed the Company that it is conducting an investigation related to the Company's historical accounting for asbestos-related claims not yet asserted. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC in connection with its investigation.




(19)(18) Restructuring


InThe Company has initiated a comprehensive plan to reduce existing structural costs. During the third quarter of 2017,three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company initiatedrecorded $5 million and $2 million in the Engine and Drivetrain segments, respectively, primarily related to severance costs, for actions within itsassociated with this plan. Additionally, the Company continues a voluntary termination program in the Engine segment designed to improve future profitabilitythat resulted in restructuring expense of $8 million and competitiveness$4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and started exploring strategic options for2019, respectively.

During the non-core product lines. As a continuation of these actions,three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $7 million, and $5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, primarily related to professional fees and employee termination benefits. Additionally, in the first quarterbenefits, as a continuation of 2019, the Company initiated a separate voluntary termination program inactions within the Engine segment and recorded restructuring expense of $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company will continue its plan to improve the future profitability and competitiveness of its business in the Engine segment. These actions may result in the recognition of additional restructuring charges that could be material.

Additionally, theand explore strategic options for non-core product lines. The Company recorded restructuring expense of $2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 in the Drivetrain segment primarily related to manufacturing footprint rationalization activities.

The Companyalso recorded restructuring expense of $3 million induring the three months ended March 31, 2019, related to Corporate restructuring activities.



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.

The following tables display a rollforward of the severance accruals recorded within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related cash flow activity for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018:2019:

(20)(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 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 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 the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future and compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized. The dilutive effects of performance-based stock awards described in the Note 14, "Stock-Based Compensation," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share at the level the related performance criteria are met through the respective balance sheet date. The 114,720 of adjusted earnings per share performance share units granted in 2020 were excluded from the computation of the diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 because the related performance criteria had not been met as of the balance sheet date.

(21)(20) Reporting Segments


The Company's business is comprised of two2 reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These segments are strategic business groups that 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. 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"). ROIC is comprised of Adjusted EBIT after deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required.




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 ourits reporting segments. The following tables show segment information and Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments.

Proposed Acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC
(22) Recent Transactions


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


as a result of Delphi Technologies effecting the Revolver Draw without the Company’s prior written consent and 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 exceed $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 transfer, the Company has no obligation with respect to previously recorded asbestos-related liabilities. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation," this subsidiary was derecognized as the Company ceased to control the entity, and the Company removed the associated assets and liabilities from the consolidated balance sheet.

Romeo Systems, Inc.

In May 2019, the Company invested $50 million in exchange for a 20% equity interest in Romeo, a technology-leading battery module and pack supplier. The Company accounts for this investment in Series A-1 Preferred Stock of Romeo under the measurement alternative in ASC Topic 321, "Investments - Equity Securities" for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value. Such investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, after completing a qualitative assessment which indicated the Company's equity


investment in Romeo may have been impaired, the Company recorded a $9 million asset impairment cost to record this investment at its fair value of $41 million at March 31, 2020. 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 $5$3 million will be paid upon satisfaction of certain conditions.


The Company created Cascadia Motion LLC ("Cascadia Motion") to combine assets and operations of these two acquired companies. Based in Oregon, Cascadia Motion specializes in design, development and production of hybrid and electric propulsion solutions for prototype and low-volume production applications. It allows the Company to offer design, development and production of full electric and hybrid propulsion systems for niche and low-volume manufacturing applications.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized $5 million of intangible assets, goodwill of $7 million within the Drivetrain reporting segment, and other assets and liabilities of $2 million to reflect the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The intangible assets will be amortized over a period of 2 to 15 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, 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 of Cascadia Motion. 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.

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


BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company” or "BorgWarner") is a global product leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles. Our products help improve vehicle performance, propulsion efficiency, stability and air quality. These products are manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of light vehicles (passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, vans and light trucks). The Company's products are also sold to other OEMs of commercial vehicles (medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks and buses) and off-highway vehicles (agricultural and construction machinery and marine applications). WeThe Company also manufacturemanufactures and sell oursells its products to certain Tier One vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket for light, commercial and off-highway vehicles. The Company operates manufacturing facilities serving customers in Europe, the Americas and Asia and is an original equipment supplier to every major automotive OEM in the world.


The Company's products fall into two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. The Engine segment's products include turbochargers, timing devices and chains,systems, emissions systems and thermal systems. The Drivetrain segment's products include transmission components and systems, all-wheel drive torque transfer systems and rotating electrical devices.components.

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



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 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.

PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF DELPHI TECHNOLOGIES PLC

On January 28, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Delphi Technologies PLC (“Delphi Technologies”) in an all-stock transaction.

Reporting Segments


The Company's business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These segments are strategic business groups, thatwhich 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.

The vast majority of cash held outside the United States is available for repatriation. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act") reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent and required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred. As of January 1, 2018, funds repatriated from foreign subsidiaries will generally no longer be taxable for U.S. federal tax purposes. In light of the treatment of foreign earnings under the Tax Act, the Company recorded a liability for the U.S. federal and applicable state income tax liabilities calculated under the provisions of the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. A deferred tax liability has been recorded for substantially all estimated legally distributable foreign earnings. The Company uses its U.S. liquidity primarily for various corporate purposes, including but not limited to debt service, share repurchases, dividend distributions and other corporate expenses.

The total current combined borrowing capacity under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program cannot exceed $1.2$1.5 billion.


In addition to the credit facility, the Company's universal shelf registration provides the ability to issue various debt and equity instruments subject to market conditions. On April 29, 2020, the Company entered into a $750 million delayed-draw term loan that matures 364 days after the closing date of the facility. The facility expires or must be mandatorily prepaid upon the termination of the agreement related


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.

TheFrom a credit quality perspective, the Company hashad a credit rating of BBB+ from both Standard & Poor'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.

$5 million primarily reflects favorable changes in working capital, partially offset by lower net earnings adjusted for non-cash charges to operations.


Net cash used in investing activities decreased $57increased $16 million to $120 million in the first three months of 2020 from $104 million in the first three months of 2019 from $161 million in the first three months of 2018.2019. This decreaseincrease is primarily due to lower capital expenditures, including tooling outlays, andthe non-recurrence of the 2019 proceeds from the sale of the non-core pipe and thermostat product lines, partially offset by the 2019 acquisitionacquisitions of Rinehart Motion Systems LLC and AM Racing LLC.


Net cash used in financing activities increased $150decreased $91 million to $62 million in the first three months of 2020 from $153 million in the first three months of 2019 from $32019. This decrease is primarily driven by share repurchases of $67 million in the first three months of 2018. This increase is primarily driven by2019 and lower borrowingsrepayments of debt in the first three months of 2020.

COVID-19/coronavirus has resulted in, and higher share repurchases.

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




CONTINGENCIES


The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. 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 contingencies are discussed 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. The PRPslaws and, as such, may currentlypresently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 2814 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.


See  "Note 18 - Contingencies,Refer to Note 17, "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 $795 million as of March 31, 2019 for asbestos-related claims and associated costs through 2074, 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 March 31, 2019, it has aggregate insurance coverage available in the amount of $386 million to satisfy asbestos-related claims and associated defense costs.  See  "Note 18 - Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and information respecting the Company’s asbestos-related liability and corresponding insurance asset.

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, 2018.2019.


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 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 and planned implementation actions are 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 2018. 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 loss of $74 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and gain of $65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,respectively, 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 loss of $74 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar against the Korean Won, Chinese Renminbi, and Brazilian Real, which increased approximately 5%, 2% and 23%, respectively, and decreased other comprehensive income from December 31, 2019 by approximately $21 million, $19 million and $19 million, respectively. The foreign currency translation adjustment loss of $9 million induring the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to the impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar against the Euro, which increased approximately 2% and decreased other comprehensive income by approximately $46 million, offset by the impact of a weakening U.S. dollar against Chinese Renminbi and British Pound, which decreased approximately 3% and 2% and increased other comprehensive income by $24 million and $6 million, respectively, sincefrom December 31, 2018. The foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $65 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the impact of a weakening U.S. dollar against the Euro, which decreased approximately 3% and increased other comprehensive income by approximately $55 million since December 31, 2017.

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.



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