PART I.
I FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tenneco Inc.
Results of Review of Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Tenneco Inc. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2018, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 28, 2018, except for the change in composition of reportable segments discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements and the changes in the manner in which the Company accounts for certain components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, cash received to settle the deferred purchase price of factored receivables and restricted cash discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, as to which the date is September 28, 2018, which included a paragraph describing a change in the manner of accounting for certain components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs and the manner in which it accounts for the cash received to settle the deferred purchase price of factored receivables, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As you read the accompanying
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation Interim Financial Statements
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements you should alsoprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) management believes are necessary to fairly state the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows. The Company's management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read ourin conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 28, 2018 (the "2017 Form 10-K"). A Form 8-K was also filed withMarch 18, 2019. Operating results for the SEC onthree and nine months ended September 28, 2018 to recast certain portions30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the 2017 Form 10-Kresults that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

The Company has previously announced its intentions to retrospectively reflectseparate its businesses through a spinoff transaction in mid-2020 to form two new, independent publicly traded companies, an Aftermarket and Ride Performance company ("DRiV") and a new Powertrain Technology company ("New Tenneco"). Tenneco remains committed to the separation of the businesses and continues to execute its plan for the spinoff. Additionally, the company is evaluating multiple strategic options to deleverage and facilitate the separation. Certain of these options could help mitigate the effect of challenging market conditions, which, if current trends were to continue, would likely affect the Company's changecompany’s ability to complete a separation in reportingthe mid-year 2020 time range. In preparation for the separation, the Company began to manage and report its DRiV businesses through 2 new operating segments, that took effect in the first quarter of 2018,2019, as compared to the 3 operating segments it had previously reported. The DRiV operating segments consist of Motorparts and to recast certain financial informationRide Performance. The new Motorparts operating segment consists of the previously reported Aftermarket operating segment as well as the aftermarket portion of the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. The Ride Performance operating segment consists of the previously reported Ride Performance operating segment as well as the OE Braking business that was included in the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. As such, prior period operating segment results and related disclosures for accounting standards adopted in 2018, for which retrospective application was required.have been conformed to reflect the Company's current operating segments. The future New Tenneco consists of 2 existing operating segments, Powertrain and Clean Air. See Note 17, Segment Information.
In our opinion,
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests — The Company has noncontrolling interests with redemption features. These redemption features could require the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for aCompany to make an offer to purchase the noncontrolling interests at fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ equity for the periods indicated. We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally acceptedvalue in the United Statesevent of America (U.S. GAAP) for annual financial statements.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all majority-owneda change in control of Tenneco Inc. or certain of its subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions.

The Company recorded a decrease to certain prior year amountsthe redeemable noncontrolling interests of $8 million from the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, as a result of adjustments made in the measurement period. The purchase price allocation for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition has been finalized. The purchase price allocation for the Öhlins Acquisition is preliminary and subject to finalization. The Company's current estimates and assumptions may change as a result. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

Earnings (loss) per share — Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the weighted average effect of all potentially dilutive securities from the date of issuance. Actual weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating earnings (loss) per share were:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share excluded 1,895,180 and 1,865,345 of share-based awards, as the effect on the calculation would have been madeanti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share excluded 124,865 and 124,606 of share-based awards, as the effect on the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company identified an error in the accounting for certain costs capitalized into inventory that did not constitute inventoriable costs in its historical financial statements. The Company also revised for other immaterial errors related to various line items. As a result, certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been revised for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018. These revisions were not material to the previously issued financial statements and are presented in the tables below. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an immaterial $5 million charge in its Ride Performance segment related to prior periods.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior years have been aggregated or disaggregated to conform to current year presentation. See Note 12, These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings before income taxes and noncontrolling interests or net income, other comprehensive income (loss), current or total assets, current or total liabilities, and the cash provided (used) by operating, investing or financing activities within the condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Comprehensive incomeIn February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to accumulated deficit for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). The Company has elected not to adopt the optional reclassification.

LeasesIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update supersedes the lease requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method without the recasting of comparative periods’ financial information, as permitted by the transition guidance.

TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)


The Company adopted the package of practical expedients that allows companies to not reassess its previous conclusions related to contracts that contain leases, existing lease classification, and initial direct costs, and to carry forward its historical conclusions. It elected the land easements practical expedient allowing the Company not to reassess whether existing or expired land easements not accounted for as leases under previous guidance are or contain leases under the new guidance. It also did not adopt the hindsight practical expedient and has also made an accounting policy election to exempt leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from balance sheet recognition. Instead, short-term leases will be expensed over the lease term. As a part of the implementation effort, the Company reviewed its internal control structure and modified and augmented existing controls, as necessary.

The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of $387 million and $383 million, and a reduction of favorable lease intangibles of $4 million as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially affect the Company's condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations and had no effect on cash flows. See Note 14, Leases.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
IntangiblesIn August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its financial statements.

Retirement benefitsIn August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20). The amendments in this update remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. 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 reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its financial statements and will include the enhanced disclosures in the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Fair value measurementsIn August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its financial statements but does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the residual amount recognized as goodwill, is based upon estimated information and is subject to change within the measurement period. The measurement period is a period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date during which the Company may adjust estimated or provisional amounts recorded during purchase accounting if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. Any adjustments to amounts recorded in purchase accounting that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in earnings in the period identified.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)

While the Company believes these preliminary estimates provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it will continue to evaluate available information prior to finalization of the amounts.

Öhlins Intressenter AB Acquisition
The purchase price for the 90.5% ownership interest in Öhlins was $162 million. The remaining 9.5% ownership interest in Öhlins (the “KÖ Interest”) was retained by K Öhlin Holding AB (“Köhlin”). Köhlin has an irrevocable right at any time after the third anniversary of the Öhlins Acquisition to sell the KÖ Interest to the Company. As the redemption of this redeemable noncontrolling interest is not solely within the Company's control, the noncontrolling interest is presented in the temporary equity section of the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the KÖ Interest was $17 million and represents its current redemption value at September 30, 2019.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and the measurement period adjustments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the intangible assets, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and redeemable noncontrolling interest.

Goodwill of $30 million was recognized as part of the acquisition and is reflected in the Ride Performance segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company adjusted the initial allocation of the total purchase consideration, which resulted in a $2 million increase to goodwill. The goodwill consists of the Company’s expected future economic benefits that will result from the acquisition of Öhlins’ technology, which will allow the Company to more rapidly grow its product offerings for current and future customers, as well as assist the Company in obtaining a larger share of business in developing mobility markets. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company recorded a $5 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation and recognized $5 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the amortization of this step-up, as the acquired inventory was sold.

Pro Forma Results
Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the Öhlins Acquisition were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations.

Acquisition of Federal-Mogul
The Company finalized the valuation of the assets and liabilities of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition during the third quarter of 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made measurement period adjustments based on further evaluation of available information to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

The Company recorded a $149 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company recognized $44 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the amortization of this step-up, as the acquired inventory was sold. The Company recognized $105 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2019, there is no remaining inventory step-up to be amortized.

In addition, the Company acquired $81 million in redeemable noncontrolling interests related to a subsidiary from the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. The Company initiated the process to make a tender offer for the shares it does not own due to the change in control in accordance with local regulations triggered by the acquisition. It is probable these shares will become redeemable within the next year under the tender offer at a price that is representative of fair value and as a result, the noncontrolling interest is presented in the temporary equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount for this redeemable noncontrolling interest represents its current redemption value at September 30, 2019.

The Company's condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included net sales and operating revenues of $5,537 million and net loss of $34 million associated with the operating results of Federal-Mogul.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred $3 million and $12 million in restructuring and related costs and reduced previously recorded estimates by $1 million and $3 million related to a restructuring plan designed to achieve a portion of the synergies the Company anticipates achieving in connection with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. Pursuant to the plan, the Company will reduce its headcount globally across all segments. The Company began implementing headcount reductions in January 2019 and these actions will continue throughout 2019. The Federal-Mogul Acquisition is discussed further in Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures.

The Öhlins Acquisition resulted in $30 million of goodwill which was included in the Ride Performance segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made the following adjustments to goodwill in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Acquisitions:
an increase of $2 million for the Öhlins Acquisition; and
a net decrease of $22 million for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition.

The purchase price allocation for the Öhlins Acquisition is preliminary and subject to finalization. The Company's current estimates and assumptions may change as a result. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.


(2)Acquisition of Federal-Mogul
On October 1, 2018, we closedDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company reorganized the reporting structure of its Aftermarket, Ride Performance, and Motorparts segments and the underlying reporting units within those segments. The Company reassigned assets and liabilities (excluding goodwill) to the reporting units affected. Goodwill was then reassigned to the reporting units using a relative fair value approach based on the acquisition of allfair value of the interestselements transferred and the fair value of the elements remaining within the original reporting units. The Company tested goodwill for impairment on a pre-reorganization basis and determined there was no impairment for the affected reporting units. The Company also performed an impairment analysis on a post-reorganization basis and determined $60 million of goodwill was impaired for 2 reporting units within its Ride Performance segment, one of which was a full impairment of the goodwill. As a result, this non-cash charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2019. Goodwill allocated to other reporting units was supported by the valuation performed at that time.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed purchase accounting for the Federal-Mogul LLC ("Federal-Mogul"), (the "Acquisition") pursuantAcquisition. As a result, the final goodwill allocation was reassigned to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, datedreorganized segments and reporting unit structure that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 using a relative fair value approach and the Company determined an incremental $9 million of goodwill was

impaired for 1 reporting unit in its Ride Performance segment. This non-cash charge was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the total impairment charge recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for the reorganization of the reporting units that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 was $69 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company performed a review of potential triggering events, and concluded no events indicated it was more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units had declined to below their carrying values at September 30, 2019. The Company considered the results of the post-reorganized reporting unit changes that occurred in the first quarter of 2019, which indicated 9 reporting units with goodwill. Management compared its future projected cash flows as of April 10, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”), bySeptember 30, 2019 to the future projected cash flows utilized in the valuation performed during the first quarter of 2019 and amongconcluded there is no indication the carrying value of its reporting units would be less than their fair values.

If the Company’s market capitalization remains at current levels for a sustained period of time or declines further, and if such a decline becomes indicative the fair value of its reporting units have declined to below their carrying values, the Company Federal-Mogul, American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”will need to determine the fair value of its reporting units which may result in a material non-cash goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity compensation liabilities, and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. For exposures not offset within its operations, the Company may enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Designation of derivative instruments is performed on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by class at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Market Risks
Foreign Currency Risk The Company manufactures and Liability Instrumentssells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa. As a result, the Company's financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and sells its products. The fair valueCompany generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of cashrevenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Polish zloty, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar.

Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments including cash equivalents short and long-term receivables, accounts payable,derivative contracts expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. The Company's counterparties for cash equivalents and short-term debt was consideredderivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company's requirement of high credit standing. The Company's counterparties for derivative contracts are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to beany one counterparty and through monitoring counterparty credit risks. The Company's concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at September 30, 2019 and 2018 is not material.

Other The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis.

effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective hedges, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, are recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for effective hedges are reclassified into operations upon recognition of the hedged transaction. Derivative gains and losses associated with undesignated hedges are recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Derivative Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The fair valueCompany enters into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the Company identifies and aggregates existing offsetting positions and then hedges residual exposures through third-party derivative contracts. The gains or losses on these contracts is recognized in "Cost of our public fixed rate senior notes is based on quoted market prices (level 1)sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The fair value of our private borrowings under our senior credit facilityforeign currency forward contracts are recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset position of less than $1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Cash-Settled Share Swap Transactions During 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated equity swap agreement. The Company selectively uses cash-settled share swaps to reduce market risk associated with its deferred compensation liabilities. These equity deferred compensation liabilities increase as the Company's stock price increases and decrease as the Company's stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of September 30, 2019, the Company hedged its deferred compensation liability related to approximately 600,000 common share equivalents, an increase from 250,000 common share equivalents as of December 31, 2018. The fair value of the equity swap agreement is recorded in "Prepayments and other long-termcurrent assets" or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's equity swap agreement was a net liability position of $1 million at September 30, 2019 and net asset position of $4 million at December 31, 2018.

Hedging Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges — Commodity Price Risk — The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases for up to eighteen months in the future. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include copper and tin. In certain instances within this program, foreign currency forwards may be used in order to match critical terms for commodity exposure.

The Company has designated these contracts as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company records unrecognized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI or OCL”) and makes regular reclassifying adjustments into “Cost of sales” within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) when the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The Company had commodity derivatives outstanding with an equivalent notional amount of $26 million as of September 30, 2019 and $27 million as of December 31, 2018. Substantially all of the commodity price hedge contracts mature within one year.

Net Investment Hedge — Foreign Currency Borrowings — The Company has foreign currency denominated debt, €770 million of which was designated as a net investment hedge in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. Changes to its carrying value are included in shareholders' equity in the foreign currency translation component of OCL and offset against the translation adjustment on the underlying net assets of those foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, which are also recorded in OCL. The Company’s debt instruments are discussed further in Note 10, Debt and Other Financing Arrangements.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A three-level valuation hierarchy, based upon observable and unobservable inputs, is used for fair value measurements. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the market valuelowest level of debt with similar maturities, interest rates and risk characteristics (level 2). The fair value of our level 1 debt, as classified ininput that is significant to the fair value hierarchy, was $657 million and $749 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We have classified $582 million and $634 million as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, since we utilize valuation inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. We classified the remaining $13 million and $15 million, consisting of foreign subsidiary debt, as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
measurement. The fair value hierarchy definition prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
   
Level 3Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions.

Cash-Settled Share Swap Transactions We use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency forward purchase and sales contracts with terms of less than one year, to hedge our exposure to changesThe Company's stock price is used as an observable input in foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary exposure to changes in foreign currency rates results from intercompany loans made between affiliates to minimizedetermining the need for borrowings from third parties. Additionally, we enter into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. We manage counter-party credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with major financial institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts is based on an internally developed model which incorporates observable inputs including quoted spot rates, forward exchange rates and discounted future expected cash flows utilizing market interest rates with similar quality and maturity characteristics. We record the change in fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts as part of currency gains (losses) within cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in prepayments and other current assets or other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts was a net liability position of less than $1 million at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.equity swap.

Guarantees —We have from time
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to time issued guaranteesitems measured at fair value on a recurring basis, assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include long-lived assets and intangible assets which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment.

The Company has determined the fair value measurements related to each of these rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company's assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available (level 3). To determine the fair value of long-lived asset groups, the Company utilizes discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset group.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the performancefourth quarter of obligationseach year. These fair value measurements require the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of somefuture cash flows, discount rates, and growth rates, which are subject to a high degree of our subsidiaries,uncertainty. The Company believes the assumptions and someestimates used to determine the estimated fair value are reasonable, but different assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value.

At September 30, 2018, no assets or capital stock secured our senior notes. For additional information, refer to Note 14, Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements.
We have two performance guarantee agreements in the U.K. between Tenneco Management (Europe) Limited (“TMEL”) and the two Walker Group Retirement Plans, the Walker Group Employee Benefit Plan and the Walker Group Executive Retirement Benefit Plan (the “Walker Plans”), whereby TMEL will guarantee the payment of all current and future pension contributions in the event of a payment default by the sponsoring or participating employers of the Walker Plans. The Walker Plans are comprised of employees from Tenneco Walker (U.K.) Limited and Futaba (U.K.) Limited, formerly our Futaba-Tenneco (U.K.) joint venture. Employer contributions are funded by Tenneco Walker (U.K.) Limited, as the sponsoring employer, and were also funded by Futaba (U.K.) Limited prior to its ceasing, on April 28, 2017, to be an entity in which the Company has an equity interest. The performance guarantee agreements are expected to remain in effect until all pension obligations for the Walker Plans’ sponsoring and participating employers have been satisfied. We did not record an additional liability for this performance guarantee since Tenneco Walker (U.K.) Limited, as the sponsoring employer of the Walker Plans, already recognizes 100% of the pension obligation calculated based on U.S. GAAP, for all of the Walker Plans’ participating employers on its balance sheet. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, these plans were in an overfunded position and shown under other assets, other on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2018, all pension contributions under the Walker Plans were current for all of the Walker Plans’ sponsoring and participating employers.
We have issued guarantees through letters of credit in connection with some obligations of our affiliates. As of September 30, 2018, we have guaranteed $27 million in letters of credit to support some of our subsidiaries’ insurance arrangements, foreign employee benefit programs, environmental remediation activities and cash management and capital requirements.
Financial Instruments — In certain instances, several of our Chinese subsidiaries receive payment from customers through the receipt of financial instruments on the date the customer payments are due. Several of our Chinese subsidiaries also satisfy vendor payments through the delivery of financial instruments on the date the payments are due. Financial instruments issued to satisfy vendor payables and not redeemed totaled $12had $78 million and $11$106 million at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017, respectively,2018 in other debt whose carrying value approximates fair value, which consists primarily of foreign debt with maturities of one year or less.

The financial instruments received by some of our Chinese subsidiaries are drafts drawn that are payable at a future date10. Debt and in some cases, are negotiable and/or are guaranteed by the banks of the customers. The use of these instruments for payment follows local commercial practice. Because certain of such financial instruments are guaranteed by our customers’ banks, we believe they represent a lower financial risk than the outstanding accounts receivable that they satisfy which are not guaranteed by a bank.Other Financing Arrangements
Supply Chain Financing — Certain of our suppliers in the U.S. participate in supply chain financing programs under which they securitize their accounts receivables from the Company. Financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing program on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables or drafts from the Company's suppliers at any time. If the financial institutions do not continue to purchase receivables or drafts from the Company's suppliers under these programs, the participating vendors may have a need to renegotiate their payment terms with the Company which in turn would cause our borrowings under our revolving credit facility to increase.
Restricted Cash — Some of our Chinese subsidiaries that issue their own financial instruments to pay vendors are required to maintain a cash balance if they exceed credit limits with the financial institution that guarantees the financial instruments. There was no restricted cash balance required at those Chinese subsidiaries at September 30, 2018 and $2 million at December 31, 2017.
One of our subsidiaries in Spain is required by law to maintain a cash deposit with a financial institution to guarantee the maximum estimated loss related to a tax audit until a settlement is reached. The cash deposit required was less than $1 million which has been classified as restricted cash on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, there was a similar cash deposit required for one of our subsidiaries in Brazil for approximately $1 million. The audit was closed in 2018 and the Brazil subsidiary has no restricted cash balance as of September 30, 2018.

Financing Arrangements
As of September 30, 2018, our financing arrangements were primarily provided by a committed senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions. The arrangement was secured by substantially all our domestic assets and pledges of up to 66 percent of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as guarantees by our material domestic subsidiaries.
We were required to make quarterly principal payments under the term loan A facility of $5 million through June 30, 2019, $7.5 million beginning September 30, 2019 through June 30, 2020, $10 million beginning September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2022 and a final payment of $260 million is due on May 12, 2022. We excluded the required payments, within the twelve months after September 30, 2018, under the term loan A facility totaling $22.5 million from current liabilities as of September 30, 2018, because we had the intent and the ability to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis by using our revolving credit facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements In the Company's European and U.S. accounts receivable factoring programs, accounts receivables are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under these factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. Certain programs in Europe have deferred purchase price arrangements with the banks.

The financial ratios requiredCompany is the servicer of the receivables under some of these arrangements and is responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions. Where the senior credit facilityCompany receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred accounts receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.

In the U.S and Canada, the Company participates in supply chain financing programs with certain of the Company's aftermarket customers through a drafting program.

The amounts outstanding for these factoring and drafting arrangements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impacteffect of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter due to the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $5 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $23 million. This compares to income tax expense of $73 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $276 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to $33 million of net tax benefit recognized relating to a valuation allowance release for an entity in Spain, pre-tax income taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate, and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to $5 million and 2017, respectively.

In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $9 million and $11 million of tax expense was recognized for changes in the toll tax as discussed below. The tax benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2017 included a tax benefit of $12 million primarily relating to valuation allowance releases.
We reported income tax expense of $72 million and $41 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(6)Accounts Receivable Securitization and Factoring Programs
We securitize or factor some of our accounts receivable on a limited recourse basis in the U.S. and Europe. As a servicer under these accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs, we are responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions for these securitized and factored financial assets including collections and processing of customer invoice adjustments. In the U.S., we have an accounts receivable securitization program with three commercial banks comprised of a first priority facility and a second priority facility. We securitize original equipment and aftermarket receivables on a daily basis under the bank program. In April 2017, the U.S. program was amended and extended to April 30, 2019. The first priority facility provides financing of up to $155 million and the second priority facility, which is subordinated to the first priority facility, provides up to an additional $25 million of financing. Both facilities monetize accounts receivable generated in the U.S. that meet certain eligibility requirements and the second priority facility also monetizes certain accounts receivable generated in the U.S. that would otherwise be ineligible under the first priority securitization facility. The amount of outstanding third-party investments in our securitized accounts receivable under the U.S. program was $180 million and $30 million, recorded in short-term debt, at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Each facility contains customary covenants for financings of this type, including restrictions related to liens, payments, mergers or consolidations and amendments to the agreements underlying the receivables pool. Further, each facility may be terminated upon the occurrence of customary events (with customary grace periods, if applicable), including breaches of covenants, failure to maintain certain financial ratios, inaccuracies of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain changes in the rate of default or delinquency of the receivables, a change of control and the entry or other enforcement of material judgments. In addition, each facility contains cross-default provisions, where the facility could be terminated in the event of non-payment of other material indebtedness when due and any other event which permits the acceleration of the maturity of material indebtedness.
On December 14, 2017, we entered into a new accounts receivable factoring program in the U.S. with a commercial bank. Under this program, we sell receivables from one of our U.S. OE customers at a rate that is favorable versus our senior credit facility. This arrangement is uncommitted and provides for cancellation by the commercial bank with no less than 30 days prior written notice. The amount of outstanding third-party investments in our accounts receivable sold under this program was $152 million and $107 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
We also factor receivables in our European operations with regional banks in Europe under various separate facilities. The commitments for these arrangements are generally for one year, but some may be cancelled with notice 90 days prior to renewal. In some instances, the arrangement provides for cancellation by the applicable financial institution at any time upon notification. The amount of outstanding third-party investments in our accounts receivable sold under programs in Europe was $189 million and $218 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Certain programs in Europe have deferred purchase price arrangements with the banks. We received cash to settle the deferred purchase price of factored receivables for $36 million and $28 million in the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $102 million and $77 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The cash received to settle the deferred purchase price of factored receivables is included as part of our investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
If we were not able to securitize or factor our accounts receivable under either the U.S. or European programs, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase. These accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs provide us with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing, and allow us to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

In one of our U.S. accounts receivable securitization programs, we transfer a partial interest in a pool of receivables and the interest that we retain is subordinate to the transferred interest. Accordingly, we account for our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program as a secured borrowing. In one U.S. program and our European accounts receivable factoring programs, we transfer accounts receivable to the acquiring entities and satisfy all of the conditions established under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, to report the transfer of financial assets as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under the U.S. and European factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. We recognized $1 million interest expense in each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and $4 million and $3 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, relating to our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program. In addition, we recognized a loss of $2 million in each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and $5 million and $4 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, on the sale of accounts receivable in our U.S. and European accounts receivable factoring programs, representing the discount from book values at which these receivables were sold to our banks. The remaining loss on receivables recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income is unrelated to the aforementioned factoring programs. The discount rate varies based on funding costs incurred by our banks, which averaged approximately 2% during both the first nine months of 2018 and 2017 for the European programs and 3% during both the first nine months of 2018 and 2017 for the U.S. program.

(7)Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring and Other Charges
Over the past several years, we have adopted plans to restructure portions of our operations. These plans were approved by our Board of Directors and were designed to reduce operational and administrative overhead costs throughout the business.
In the third quarter of 2018, we incurred $12 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to the accelerated move of our Beijing Ride Performance plant, and other cost improvement initiatives. In the first nine months of 2018, we incurred $55 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to the accelerated move of our Beijing Ride Performance plant, headcount reduction at a Clean Air manufacturing plant in Germany and other cost improvement initiatives. We expect all assembly to be relocated to the new China facility by the end of the year and the component manufacturing relocation to be complete during the first quarter of 2019.
In the third quarter of 2017, we incurred $20 million in restructuring and related costs, including asset write-downs of $1 million, primarily related to closing a Clean Air manufacturing plant and downsizing Ride Performance operations in Australia and other cost improvement initiatives. In the first nine months of 2017, we incurred $52 million in restructuring and related costs, including asset write-downs of $3 million, primarily related to closing a Clean Air Belgian JIT plant in response to the end of production on a customer platform, closing a Clean Air manufacturing plant and downsizing Ride Performance operations in Australia and other cost improvement initiatives.

In the third quarter of 2018, these other costs were $4 million, of which $3 million was recorded in selling, general, and administrative and $1 million in other expense, net. In the first nine months of 2018, these other costs were $13 million, of which $8 million was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses, $4 million was recorded in engineering, research, and development and $1 million was recorded in other expense, net.

Environmental Matters, Legal Proceedings and Product Warranties
We are involved in environmental remediation matters, legal proceedings, claims (including warranty claims) and investigations. These matters are typically incidental to the conduct of our business and create the potential for contingent losses. We accrue for contingent losses when our review of available facts indicates that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Each quarter we assess our loss contingencies based upon currently available facts, existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations and taking into consideration the likely effects of inflation and other societal and economic factors and record adjustments to these reserves as required. As an example, we consider all available evidence, including prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experiences and data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or other organizations when we evaluate our environmental remediation contingencies. All of our loss contingency estimates are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new information. With respect to our environmental liabilities, where future cash flows are fixed or reliably determinable, we have discounted those liabilities. We evaluate recoveries separately from the liability and, when they are assured, recoveries are recorded and reported separately from the associated liability in our consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Matters
We areThe Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We expenseit operates. The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and other national and state or capitalize,provincial environmental laws. PRP designation typically requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities. Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, its share of the total waste sent to these sites generally has been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is not material.

On a global basis, the Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is seeking to resolve its responsibilities for those sites for which a claim has been received.

Ourthe sites discussed above at which it may be a PRP.

The Company maintains the aggregated estimated share of environmental remediation costs for all these sites on a discounted basis was approximately $17 million at September 30, 2018, of which $3 million is recorded in other current liabilities and $14 million is recorded in deferred credits and other liabilities in ourthe condensed consolidated balance sheet. sheets as follows:

The undiscounted value of the estimated remediation costs was $21 million. OurCompany's expected payments of environmental remediation costs for non-indemnified locations are estimated to be approximately $2 million in 2018, $3 million in 2019, $1 million each year beginning 2020 through 2022 and $13 million in aggregate thereafter.approximately:

Although we believethe Company believes these estimates of remediation costs are reasonable and are based on the latest available information, the costs are estimates, difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, and are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent of remediation required. At some sites, we expect thatthe Company expects other parties will contribute to the remediation costs. In addition, certain environmental statutes provide that ourthe Company's liability could be joint and several, meaning that wethe Company could be required to pay amounts in excess of ourits share of remediation costs. Our understanding of theThe financial strength of the other potentially responsible partiesPRPs at these sites has been considered, where appropriate, in ourthe determination of ourthe estimated liability.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company’s primary asset retirement obligations ("ARO") activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. ARO fair values are determined based on the Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the remediation activities, generally using a present value technique.

Antitrust Investigations and Litigation
On March 25, 2014, representatives of the European Commission (EC) were at Tenneco GmbH's Edenkoben, Germany administrative facility to gather information in connection with an ongoing global antitrust investigation concerning multiple automotive suppliers. On March 25, 2014, wethe same date, the Company also received a related subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”).

On November 5, 2014, the DOJ granted us conditional leniency to the Company, its subsidiaries, and its 50% affiliates as of such

date ("2014 Tenneco Entities") pursuant to an agreement wethe Company entered into under the Antitrust Division's Corporate Leniency Policy. This agreement provides us with important benefits to the 2014 Tenneco Entities in exchange for ourthe Company's self-reporting of matters to the DOJ and ourits continuing full cooperation with the DOJ's resulting investigation. For example, the DOJ will not bring any criminal antitrust prosecution against us,the 2014 Tenneco Entities, nor seek any criminal fines or penalties, in connection with the matters wethe Company reported to the DOJ. Additionally, there are limits on ourthe liability of the 2014 Tenneco Entities related to any follow-on civil antitrust litigation in the U.S.United States. The limits include single rather than treble damages, as well as relief from joint and several antitrust liability with other relevant civil antitrust action defendants. These limits are subject to ourthe Company satisfying the DOJ and any court presiding over such follow-on civil litigation.

On April 27, 2017, the Company received notification from the European Commission (EC)EC that it has administratively closed its global antitrust inquiry regarding the production, assembly, and supply of complete exhaust systems. No charges against the Company or any other competitor were initiated at any time and the EC inquiry is now closed.

Certain other competition agencies are also investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company. We haveCompany and its subsidiaries, including Federal-Mogul. The Company has cooperated and continuecontinues to cooperate fully with all of these antitrust investigations and take other actions to minimize ourits potential exposure.

The Company and certain of its competitors are also currently defendants in civil putative class action litigation and are subject to similar claims filed by other plaintiffs, in the United States and Canada. More related lawsuits may be filed, including in other jurisdictions. Plaintiffs in these cases generally allege that defendants have engaged in anticompetitive conduct, in violation of federal and state laws, relating to the sale of automotive exhaust systems or components thereof. Plaintiffs seek to recover, on behalf of themselves and various purported classes of purchasers, injunctive relief, damages and attorneys’ fees. However, as explained above, because we receivedthe DOJ granted conditional leniency fromto the DOJ, our2014 Tenneco Entities, the Company's civil liability in U.S. follow-on actions with respect to these entities is limited to single damages and wethe Company will not be jointly and severally liable with the other defendants, provided that we havethe Company has satisfied ourits obligations under the DOJ leniency agreement and approval is granted by the presiding court. Typically, exposure for follow-on actions in Canada is less than the exposure for U.S. follow-on actions.

Following the EC’sEC's decision to administratively close its antitrust inquiry into exhaust systems in 2017, receipt by the Company’s receipt2014 Tenneco Entities of conditional leniency from the DOJ in 2014 and discussions during the third quarter of 2017 following the appointment of a special settlement master in the civil putative class action cases pending against the Company and/or certain of its competitors in the U.S.,United States, the Company continues to vigorously defend itself and/or take actions to minimize its potential exposure to matters pertaining to the global antitrust investigation, including engaging in settlement discussions when it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. For example, in October 2017, the Company settled an administrative action brought by Brazil's competition authority for an amount that was not material. In December 2018, the Company settled a separate administrative action brought by Brazil’s competition authority against a Federal-Mogul subsidiary, also for an amount that was not material.

Additionally, in February 2018, the Company settled civil putative class action litigation in the United States brought by classes of direct purchasers, end-payors and auto dealers. No other classes of plaintiffs have brought claims against the Company in the United States. Based upon those earlier developments, including settlement discussions, the Company established a reserve of $132 million in its second quarter 2017 financial results for settlement costs that were probable, reasonably estimable, and expected to be necessary to resolve the Company’sits antitrust matters globally, which primarily involves the resolution of civil suits and related claims. Of the $132 million reserve that was established, $64$79 million has beenwas paid through September 30, 2018 resulting2019. In connection with the resolution of certain claims, $9 million was released from the reserve in a remainingthe third quarter of 2019 and the Company expects to pay $30 million in the first quarter of 2020 from amounts that were included in the reserve. The reserve of $68$44 million as of September 30, 2018, which2019 is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. While the Company, including its Federal-Mogul subsidiaries, continues to cooperate with certain competition agencies investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company, and the Company may be subject to other civil lawsuits and/or related claims, no amount of this reserve is attributable to matters with the DOJ or the EC, and no such amount is expected based on current information.

We believe,A small number of claims have been asserted against one of the Company's subsidiaries by railroad workers alleging exposure to asbestos products in railroad cars. The Company believes, based on scientific and other evidence, it is unlikely that U.S. claimants were exposed to asbestos by ourthe Company's former products and that, in any event, they would not be at increased risk of asbestos-related disease based on their work with these products. Further, many of these cases involve numerous defendants, with the number in some cases exceeding 100 defendants from a variety of industries.defendants. Additionally, in many cases the plaintiffs either do not specify any, or specify the jurisdictional minimum, dollar amount for damages.

With respect to the claims filed in Europe, the substantial majority relate to occupational exposure claims brought by current and former employees of Federal-Mogul facilities in France and amounts paid out were not material. A small number of occupational exposure claims have also been asserted against Federal-Mogul entities in Italy and Spain.

3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the residual amount recognized as goodwill, is based upon estimated information and is subject to change within the measurement period. The measurement period is a period not to exceed one year up to limited lifetime warranties on some of our premium aftermarket products. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold or when specific warranty issues are identified with our products. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. We actively study trends of our warranty claims and take action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. We believe that the warranty reserve is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiringacquisition date during which the Company may adjust estimated or provisional amounts recorded during purchase accounting if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date.

Öhlins Intressenter AB Acquisition

The purchase price for the 90.5% ownership interest in Öhlins was $162 million. The remaining 9.5% ownership interest in Öhlins (the “KÖ Interest”) was retained by K Öhlin Holding AB (“Köhlin”). Köhlin has an irrevocable right at any time after the third anniversary of the Öhlins Acquisition to sell the KÖ Interest to the Company. As the redemption of this redeemable noncontrolling interest is not solely within the Company's control, the noncontrolling interest is presented in the temporary equity section of the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill of $30 million was recognized as part of the acquisition and is reflected in the Ride Performance segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company adjusted the initial allocation of the total purchase consideration, which resulted in a $2 million increase to goodwill. The goodwill consists of the Company’s expected future economic benefits that will result from the acquisition of Öhlins’ technology, which will allow the Company to more rapidly grow its product offerings for current and future customers, as well as assist the Company in obtaining a larger share of business in developing mobility markets. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Accounting Methods — Prior to 2018, for employees eligible to retire at grant date, we immediately expensed stock options and restricted stock. In 2018, we prospectively changed our vesting policy regarding retirement eligibility and now require a retirement eligible employee (or an employee who becomes retirement eligible) to provide at least one year of service from the grant date in order for the award to vest. If an employee becomes retirement eligible after the first year of vesting but before completion of the three-year term, we amortizeacquisition date based on the expense forpreliminary valuation and recognized $5 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the share-based awards over a period starting at the grant date to the date an employee becomes retirement eligible.
Stock Options — There have been no stock options granted since 2014. There is no compensation expense in each of the three month periodsnine months ended September 30, 20182019 related to the amortization of this step-up, as the acquired inventory was sold.

The Company announced the reinstatementrecorded a $149 million step-up of a quarterly dividend program under which we expectinventory to pay quarterly dividends of $0.25 per share on our common stock, representing planned annual dividends of $1.00 per share. We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share in eachits fair value as of the first three quartersacquisition date. The Company recognized $44 million as a non-cash charge to cost of 2017 and 2018. Dividends declared and paid were $39 million and $40 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a result of the Federal-Mogul transaction, and the resulting higher share count, the quarterly dividend payment will increase to $20 million beginning in the fourth quarter. In view of our current stock price and overall sector valuations, we will evaluate the best methodology to return this value to our shareholders. This may result in a change in the dividend and returning that capital via share buybacks in a comparable amount.

Forgoods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we made pension contributions2019 related to the amortization of $1this step-up, as the acquired inventory was sold. The Company recognized $105 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2019, there is no remaining inventory step-up to be amortized.

In addition, the Company acquired $81 million in redeemable noncontrolling interests related to a subsidiary from the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. The Company initiated the process to make a tender offer for the shares it does not own due to the change in control in accordance with local regulations triggered by the acquisition. It is probable these shares will become redeemable within the next year under the tender offer at a price that is representative of fair value and as a result, the noncontrolling interest is presented in the temporary equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount for this redeemable noncontrolling interest represents its current redemption value at September 30, 2019.

The Company's condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included net sales and operating revenues of $5,537 million and $9net loss of $34 million for our domesticassociated with the operating results of Federal-Mogul.

Of the $10related costs and reduced previously recorded estimates by $1 million adjustment for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, $6and $3 million was a non-cash charge related to a voluntary programrestructuring plan designed to buy out active employees and retirees who had earned benefits in the U.S. pension plans.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash (Topic 230) to eliminate diversity in practice in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. We retrospectively adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018 with no material impact. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes - Intra Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (Topic 740). The standard changed the accounting for income taxes whenachieve a company transfers certain tangible and intangible assets, such as equipment or intellectual property, between entities in different tax jurisdictions. The standard did not change the current accounting for the income taxes related to transfers of inventory. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The cumulative effectportion of the adoption was recognized as an increase to accumulated deficit of $2 million.
In August 2016,synergies the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments (Topic 230). This update addressed eight specific cash flow issuesCompany anticipates achieving in connection with the objective of reducingFederal-Mogul Acquisition. Pursuant to the diversityplan, the Company will reduce its headcount globally across all segments. The Company began implementing headcount reductions in practice. We retrospectively adopted this standardJanuary 2019 and these actions will continue throughout 2019. The Federal-Mogul Acquisition is discussed further in the first quarter of 2018. We recorded $36 millionNote 3, Acquisitions and $102 million as an investing activity in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the cash we received to settle the deferred purchase price of factored receivables forDivestitures. During the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Prior to adoption, this amount would have been recorded as an operating activity. Prior period amounts of $282019, the Company also incurred $15 million and $77$43 million forin restructuring and other costs related to plant relocation and closures within its Ride Performance segment. The Company expects the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, have been reclassified from operating to investing activities to conform to the current year presentation.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), an amendment on revenue recognition. The amendment in this update created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the industry topics of the codification. In addition, the amendment superseded the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and created a new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expectsactions to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, usingcompleted by the modified retrospective method. The cumulative effectsecond quarter of the adoption was recognized as a decrease to accumulated deficit of $1 million on January 1, 2018.

The Öhlins Acquisition resulted in $30 million of goodwill which was included in the Ride Performance segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made the following adjustments to goodwill in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Acquisitions:
an increase of $2 million for the Öhlins Acquisition; and
a net decrease of $22 million for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition.

The purchase price allocation for the Öhlins Acquisition is preliminary and subject to finalization. The Company's current estimates and assumptions may change as a result. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company reorganized the reporting structure of its Aftermarket, Ride Performance, and Motorparts segments and the underlying reporting units within those segments. The Company reassigned assets and liabilities (excluding goodwill) to the reporting units affected. Goodwill was then reassigned to the reporting units using a relative fair value approach based on the fair value of the elements transferred and the fair value of the elements remaining within the original reporting units. The Company tested goodwill for impairment on a pre-reorganization basis and determined there was no impairment for the affected reporting units. The Company also performed an impairment analysis on a post-reorganization basis and determined $60 million of goodwill was impaired for 2 reporting units within its Ride Performance segment, one of which was a full impairment of the goodwill. As a result, this non-cash charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2019. Goodwill allocated to other reporting units was supported by the valuation performed at that time.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed purchase accounting for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. As a result, the final goodwill allocation was reassigned to the reorganized segments and reporting unit structure that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 using a relative fair value approach and the Company determined an incremental $9 million of goodwill was

impaired for 1 reporting unit in its Ride Performance segment. This non-cash charge was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the total impairment charge recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for the reorganization of the reporting units that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 was $69 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company performed a review of potential triggering events, and concluded no events indicated it was more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units had declined to below their carrying values at September 30, 2019. The Company considered the results of the post-reorganized reporting unit changes that occurred in the first quarter of 2019, which indicated 9 reporting units with goodwill. Management compared its future projected cash flows as of September 30, 2019 to the future projected cash flows utilized in the valuation performed during the first quarter of 2019 and concluded there is no indication the carrying value of its reporting units would be less than their fair values.

If the Company’s market capitalization remains at current levels for a sustained period of time or declines further, and if such a decline becomes indicative the fair value of its reporting units have declined to below their carrying values, the Company will need to determine the fair value of its reporting units which may result in a material non-cash goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made adjustments in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition which resulted in a reduction to the fair value of its investments in nonconsolidated affiliates of $4 million. As a result of finalizing purchase accounting and completing a purchase price allocation for certain equity method investments, a $10 million reduction to equity in earnings was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The non-cash reduction in equity earnings was to recognize the basis difference between the fair value and book value of certain assets, including inventory, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. The purchase price allocation for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition has been finalized. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.

8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity compensation liabilities, and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. For exposures not offset within its operations, the Company may enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Designation of derivative instruments is performed on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy.

Market Risks
Foreign Currency Risk The Company manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa. As a result, the Company's financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and sells its products. The Company generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Polish zloty, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar.

Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments including cash equivalents and derivative contracts expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. The Company's counterparties for cash equivalents and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company's requirement of high credit standing. The Company's counterparties for derivative contracts are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counterparty and through monitoring counterparty credit risks. The Company's concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at September 30, 2019 and 2018 is not material.

Other The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge

effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective hedges, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, are recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for effective hedges are reclassified into operations upon recognition of the hedged transaction. Derivative gains and losses associated with undesignated hedges are recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Derivative Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Company enters into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the Company identifies and aggregates existing offsetting positions and then hedges residual exposures through third-party derivative contracts. The gains or losses on these contracts is recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset position of less than $1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The following table summarizes by position the notional amounts for foreign currency forward contracts as of September 30, 2019 (all of which mature in 2019):
 Notional Amount
Long positions$(47)
Short positions$47


Cash-Settled Share Swap Transactions During 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated equity swap agreement. The Company selectively uses cash-settled share swaps to reduce market risk associated with its deferred compensation liabilities. These equity deferred compensation liabilities increase as the Company's stock price increases and decrease as the Company's stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of September 30, 2019, the Company hedged its deferred compensation liability related to approximately 600,000 common share equivalents, an increase from 250,000 common share equivalents as of December 31, 2018. The fair value of the equity swap agreement is recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's equity swap agreement was a net liability position of $1 million at September 30, 2019 and net asset position of $4 million at December 31, 2018.

Hedging Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges — Commodity Price Risk — The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases for up to eighteen months in the future. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include copper and tin. In certain instances within this program, foreign currency forwards may be used in order to match critical terms for commodity exposure.

The Company has designated these contracts as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company records unrecognized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI or OCL”) and makes regular reclassifying adjustments into “Cost of sales” within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) when the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The Company had commodity derivatives outstanding with an equivalent notional amount of $26 million as of September 30, 2019 and $27 million as of December 31, 2018. Substantially all of the commodity price hedge contracts mature within one year.

Net Investment Hedge — Foreign Currency Borrowings — The Company has foreign currency denominated debt, €770 million of which was designated as a net investment hedge in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. Changes to its carrying value are included in shareholders' equity in the foreign currency translation component of OCL and offset against the translation adjustment on the underlying net assets of those foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, which are also recorded in OCL. The Company’s debt instruments are discussed further in Note 10, Debt and Other Financing Arrangements.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A three-level valuation hierarchy, based upon observable and unobservable inputs, is used for fair value measurements. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy definition prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions.


Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents assets and liabilities included in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair value:

Commodity and Foreign Currency Contracts — The Company calculates the fair value of its commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts using commodity forward rates and currency forward rates, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values. The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on bank deposit rates. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset position of less than $1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items measured at fair value on a recurring basis, assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include long-lived assets and intangible assets which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment.

The Company has determined the fair value measurements related to each of these rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company's assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available (level 3). To determine the fair value of long-lived asset groups, the Company utilizes discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset group.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year. These fair value measurements require the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, and growth rates, which are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair value are reasonable, but different assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value.

During the first quarter, the Company reorganized the reporting structure of its Aftermarket, Ride Performance, and Motorparts segments and the underlying reporting units within those segments. See Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information on the goodwill impairment recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Accounts Receivable Securitization and Factoring
On-Balance Sheet Arrangements — The Company has securitization programs for some of its accounts receivables, with limited recourse provisions. Borrowings on these securitization programs, which are recorded in short-term debt, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:
 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
Borrowings on securitization programs$3
 $6


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements In the Company's European and U.S. accounts receivable factoring programs, accounts receivables are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under these factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. Certain programs in Europe have deferred purchase price arrangements with the banks.

The Company is the servicer of the receivables under some of these arrangements and is responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions. Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred accounts receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.

In the U.S and Canada, the Company participates in supply chain financing programs with certain of the Company's aftermarket customers through a drafting program.

The amounts outstanding for these factoring and drafting arrangements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

 (in billions)

If the Company were not able to factor receivables or sell drafts under either of these programs, its borrowings under its revolving credit agreement might increase. These programs provide the Company with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing and allow the Company to reduce borrowings under its revolving credit agreement.

11. Pension Plans, Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits

The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans ("Pension Benefits") and health care and life insurance benefits ("Other Postretirement Benefits", or "OPEB") for certain employees and retirees around the world.

12. Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to year-to-date ordinary income. Jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effect of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter due to the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. The tax effects of certain items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $9 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $69 million. This compares to income tax expense of $22 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $88 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $5 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $23 million. This compares to income tax expense of $73 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $276 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to $33 million of net tax benefit recognized relating to a valuation allowance release for an entity in Spain, pre-tax income taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate, and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to $5 million and $12 million of tax benefit recognized relating to acquisition and restructuring charges, $10 million of tax benefit recognized for valuation allowance release at our Australia entities, pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $9 million and $11 million of tax expense was recognized for changes in the toll tax discussed below.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") was enacted into U.S. law, which, among other provisions, lowered the corporate income tax rate effective January 1, 2018 from 35% to 21%, and implemented significant changes with respect to U.S. tax treatment of earnings originating from outside the U.S. Many of the provisions of TCJA are subject to regulatory interpretation and U.S. state conforming enactments. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations, effective on February 5, 2019, which provided additional guidance to assist taxpayers in computing the toll tax. Based on the final regulations a $2 million tax benefit was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and amount of recent losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. If recent operational improvements continue in our foreign subsidiaries, the Company believes it is reasonably possible sufficient positive evidence may be available to release all, or a portion, of its valuation allowance in the next twelve months in certain jurisdictions. This may result in a one-time tax benefit of up to $4 million, primarily related to China and France.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible up to $9 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of foreign statute of limitations and the conclusion of income tax examinations may be recognized within the next twelve months.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and other national and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation typically requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities. Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, its share of the total waste sent to these sites generally has been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is not material.

On a global basis, the Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is seeking to resolve its responsibilities for those sites for which a claim has been received.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)


The Company expenses or capitalizes, as appropriate, expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has an obligation to remediate or contribute towards the remediation of certain sites, including the sites discussed above at which it may be a PRP.

The Company maintains the aggregated estimated share of environmental remediation costs for all these sites on a discounted basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities$8
 $12
Deferred credits and other liabilities29
 28
 $37
 $40


For those locations where the liability was discounted, the weighted average discount rate used was 1.3% and 2.9% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company's expected payments of environmental remediation costs for non-indemnified locations are estimated to be approximately:
 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and thereafter
Expected payments$5
 $5
 $3
 $3
 $2
 $17


Based on information known to the Company from site investigations and the professional judgment of consultants, the Company has established reserves it believes are adequate for these costs. Although the Company believes these estimates of remediation costs are reasonable and are based on the latest available information, the costs are estimates, difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, and are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent of remediation required. At some sites, the Company expects other parties will contribute to the remediation costs. In addition, certain environmental statutes provide the Company's liability could be joint and several, meaning the Company could be required to pay amounts in excess of its share of remediation costs. The financial strength of the other PRPs at these sites has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the estimated liability. The Company does not believe any potential costs associated with its current status as a PRP, or as a liable party at the other locations referenced herein, will be material to its annual consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company’s primary asset retirement obligations ("ARO") activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. ARO fair values are determined based on the Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the remediation activities, generally using a present value technique.

The Company maintains ARO liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities$3

Antitrust Investigations and Litigation
On March 25, 2014, representatives of the European Commission (EC) were at Tenneco GmbH's Edenkoben, Germany administrative facility to gather information in connection with an ongoing global antitrust investigation concerning multiple automotive suppliers. On the same date, the Company also received a related subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”).

On November 5, 2014, the DOJ granted conditional leniency to the Company, its subsidiaries, and its 50% affiliates as of such
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)

date ("2014 Tenneco Entities") pursuant to an agreement the Company entered into under the Antitrust Division's Corporate Leniency Policy. This agreement provides important benefits to the 2014 Tenneco Entities in exchange for the Company's self-reporting of matters to the DOJ and its continuing full cooperation with the DOJ's resulting investigation. For example, the DOJ will not bring any criminal antitrust prosecution against the 2014 Tenneco Entities, nor seek any criminal fines or penalties, in connection with the matters the Company reported to the DOJ. Additionally, there are limits on the liability of the 2014 Tenneco Entities related to any follow-on civil antitrust litigation in the United States. The limits include single rather than treble damages, as well as relief from joint and several antitrust liability with other relevant civil antitrust action defendants. These limits are subject to the Company satisfying the DOJ and any court presiding over such follow-on civil litigation.

On April 27, 2017, the Company received notification from the EC that it has administratively closed its global antitrust inquiry regarding the production, assembly, and supply of complete exhaust systems. No charges against the Company or any other competitor were initiated at any time and the EC inquiry is now closed.

Certain other competition agencies are also investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company and its subsidiaries, including Federal-Mogul. The Company has cooperated and continues to cooperate fully with all of these antitrust investigations and take other actions to minimize its potential exposure.

The Company and certain of its competitors are also currently defendants in civil putative class action litigation and are subject to similar claims filed by other plaintiffs, in the United States and Canada. More related lawsuits may be filed, including in other jurisdictions. Plaintiffs in these cases generally allege that defendants have engaged in anticompetitive conduct, in violation of federal and state laws, relating to the sale of automotive exhaust systems or components thereof. Plaintiffs seek to recover, on behalf of themselves and various purported classes of purchasers, injunctive relief, damages and attorneys’ fees. However, as explained above, because the DOJ granted conditional leniency to the 2014 Tenneco Entities, the Company's civil liability in U.S. follow-on actions with respect to these entities is limited to single damages and the Company will not be jointly and severally liable with the other defendants, provided that the Company has satisfied its obligations under the DOJ leniency agreement and approval is granted by the presiding court. Typically, exposure for follow-on actions in Canada is less than the exposure for U.S. follow-on actions.

Following the EC's decision to administratively close its antitrust inquiry into exhaust systems in 2017, receipt by the 2014 Tenneco Entities of conditional leniency from the DOJ and discussions during the third quarter of 2017 following the appointment of a special settlement master in the civil putative class action cases pending against the Company and/or certain of its competitors in the United States, the Company continues to vigorously defend itself and/or take actions to minimize its potential exposure to matters pertaining to the global antitrust investigation, including engaging in settlement discussions when it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. For example, in October 2017, the Company settled an administrative action brought by Brazil's competition authority for an amount that was not material. In December 2018, the Company settled a separate administrative action brought by Brazil’s competition authority against a Federal-Mogul subsidiary, also for an amount that was not material.

Additionally, in February 2018, the Company settled civil putative class action litigation in the United States brought by classes of direct purchasers, end-payors and auto dealers. No other classes of plaintiffs have brought claims against the Company in the United States. Based upon those earlier developments, including settlement discussions, the Company established a reserve of $132 million in its second quarter 2017 financial results for settlement costs that were probable, reasonably estimable, and expected to be necessary to resolve its antitrust matters globally, which primarily involves the resolution of civil suits and related claims. Of the $132 million reserve that was established, $79 million was paid through September 30, 2019. In connection with the resolution of certain claims, $9 million was released from the reserve in the third quarter of 2019 and the Company expects to pay $30 million in the first quarter of 2020 from amounts that were included in the reserve. The reserve of $44 million as of September 30, 2019 is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. While the Company, including its Federal-Mogul subsidiaries, continues to cooperate with certain competition agencies investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company, and the Company may be subject to other civil lawsuits and/or related claims, no amount of this reserve is attributable to matters with the DOJ or the EC, and no such amount is expected based on current information.

The Company's reserve for its antitrust matters is based upon all currently available information and an assessment of the probability of events for those matters where the Company can make a reasonable estimate of the costs to resolve such outstanding matters. The Company's estimate involves significant judgment, given the number, variety and potential outcomes of actual and potential claims, the uncertainty of future rulings and approvals by a court or other authority, the behavior or
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)

incentives of adverse parties or regulatory authorities, and other factors outside of its control. As a result, the Company's reserve may change from time to time, and actual costs may vary. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, the Company does not expect any such change in the reserve will have a material adverse effect on the Company's annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other Legal Proceedings, Claims and Investigations
For many years the Company has been and continues to be subject to lawsuits initiated by claimants alleging health problems as a result of exposure to asbestos. The Company's current docket of active and inactive cases is less than 500 cases in the United States and less than 50 in Europe.

With respect to the claims filed in the United States, the substantial majority of the claims are related to alleged exposure to asbestos in the Company's line of Walker® exhaust automotive products although a significant number of those claims appear also to involve occupational exposures sustained in industries other than automotive. A small number of claims have been asserted against one of the Company's subsidiaries by railroad workers alleging exposure to asbestos products in railroad cars. The Company believes, based on scientific and other evidence, it is unlikely that U.S. claimants were exposed to asbestos by the Company's former products and that, in any event, they would not be at increased risk of asbestos-related disease based on their work with these products. Further, many of these cases involve numerous defendants. Additionally, in many cases the plaintiffs either do not specify any, or specify the jurisdictional minimum, dollar amount for damages.

With respect to the claims filed in Europe, the substantial majority relate to occupational exposure claims brought by current and former employees of Federal-Mogul facilities in France and amounts paid out were not material. A small number of occupational exposure claims have also been asserted against Federal-Mogul entities in Italy and Spain.

As major asbestos manufacturers and/or users continue to go out of business or file for bankruptcy, the Company may experience an increased number of these claims. The Company vigorously defends itself against these claims as part of its ordinary course of business. In future periods, the Company could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved unfavorably to the Company. To date, with respect to claims that have proceeded sufficiently through the judicial process, the Company has regularly achieved favorable resolutions. Accordingly, the Company presently believes that these asbestos-related claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company is also from time to time involved in other legal proceedings, claims or investigations. Some of these matters involve allegations of damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities (including toxic tort, property damage and remediation), intellectual property matters (including patent, trademark and copyright infringement, and licensing disputes), personal injury claims (including injuries due to product failure, design or warning issues, and other product liability related matters), taxes, unclaimed property, employment matters, and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. Additionally, some of these matters involve allegations relating to legal compliance.

While the Company vigorously defends itself against all of these legal proceedings, claims and investigations and take other actions to minimize its potential exposure, in future periods, the Company could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved on unfavorable terms. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, including the Company's assessment of the merits of the particular claim, except as described above under "Antitrust Investigations and Litigation", the Company does expect the legal proceedings, claims or investigations currently pending against it will have any material adverse effect on its annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Fair value measurementsIn August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated deficit for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments allow for an election to eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operationsCompany is not affected. The amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impacteffect of this new guidance on the Company'sits financial statements but does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

The preliminary allocation of the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update supersedespurchase price of the lease requirementsassets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the residual amount recognized as goodwill, is based upon estimated information and is subject to change within the measurement period. The measurement period is a period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date during which the Company may adjust estimated or provisional amounts recorded during purchase accounting if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in Topic 840, Leases. revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. Any adjustments to amounts recorded in purchase accounting that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in earnings in the period identified.

The objectivefair values of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lesseesassets acquired and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing,liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates and uncertainty of cash flow arising from a lease. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We will adopt this amendment on January 1, 2019. We are currently undertaking a process to quantify the impact that this standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements, including reviewing our lease arrangements,assumptions, as well as working through system implementation stepsother information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and assessing our procedural and policy requirements. At a minimum, in the period the ASU is adopted, total assets and total liabilities will increase in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a result of recognizing right-of-use assets and liabilities for our operating lease obligations.techniques.

While the Company believes these preliminary estimates provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it will continue to evaluate available information prior to finalization of the amounts.

Öhlins Intressenter AB Acquisition
The purchase price for the 90.5% ownership interest in Öhlins was $162 million. The remaining 9.5% ownership interest in Öhlins (the “KÖ Interest”) was retained by K Öhlin Holding AB (“Köhlin”). Köhlin has an irrevocable right at any time after the third anniversary of the Öhlins Acquisition to sell the KÖ Interest to the Company. As the redemption of this redeemable noncontrolling interest is not solely within the Company's control, the noncontrolling interest is presented in the temporary equity section of the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the KÖ Interest was $17 million and represents its current redemption value at September 30, 2019.

The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the intangible assets, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and redeemable noncontrolling interest.

Goodwill of $30 million was recognized as part of the acquisition and is reflected in the Ride Performance segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company adjusted the initial allocation of the total purchase consideration, which resulted in a $2 million increase to goodwill. The goodwill consists of the Company’s expected future economic benefits that will result from the acquisition of Öhlins’ technology, which will allow the Company to more rapidly grow its product offerings for current and future customers, as well as assist the Company in obtaining a larger share of business in developing mobility markets. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company recorded a $149 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company recognized $44 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the amortization of this step-up, as the acquired inventory was sold. The Company recognized $105 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2019, there is no remaining inventory step-up to be amortized.

In addition, the Company acquired $81 million in redeemable noncontrolling interests related to a subsidiary from the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. The Company initiated the process to make a tender offer for the shares it does not own due to the change in control in accordance with local regulations triggered by the acquisition. It is probable these shares will become redeemable within the next year under the tender offer at a price that is representative of fair value and as a result, the noncontrolling interest is presented in the temporary equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount for this redeemable noncontrolling interest represents its current redemption value at September 30, 2019.

The Company's condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included net sales and operating revenues of $5,537 million and net loss of $34 million associated with the operating results of Federal-Mogul.

Proceeds from the sale were $22 million, subject to customary working capital adjustments. Certain assets and liabilities of the business are still classified as held for sale within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and were transferred to the buyer on October 1, 2019.

In August 2019, the Company executed a letter of intent to sell a non-core business in the Motorparts segment for a sale price of $24 million, subject to adjustment, as the Company continues to rationalize its product portfolio and focus on core product lines. As of September 30, 2019, proceeds from the sale would have been $24 million. The related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2019. The transaction is expected to close within the next year.

The related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred $3 million and $12 million in restructuring and related costs and reduced previously recorded estimates by $1 million and $3 million related to a restructuring plan designed to achieve a portion of the synergies the Company anticipates achieving in connection with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. Pursuant to the plan, the Company will reduce its headcount globally across all segments. The Company began implementing headcount reductions in January 2019 and these actions will continue throughout 2019. The Federal-Mogul Acquisition is discussed further in Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures.

The Öhlins Acquisition resulted in $30 million of goodwill which was included in the Ride Performance segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made the following adjustments to goodwill in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Acquisitions:
an increase of $2 million for the Öhlins Acquisition; and
a net decrease of $22 million for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition.

The purchase price allocation for the Öhlins Acquisition is preliminary and subject to finalization. The Company's current estimates and assumptions may change as a result. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company reorganized the reporting structure of its Aftermarket, Ride Performance, and Motorparts segments and the underlying reporting units within those segments. The Company reassigned assets and liabilities (excluding goodwill) to the reporting units affected. Goodwill was then reassigned to the reporting units using a relative fair value approach based on the fair value of the elements transferred and the fair value of the elements remaining within the original reporting units. The Company tested goodwill for impairment on a pre-reorganization basis and determined there was no impairment for the affected reporting units. The Company also performed an impairment analysis on a post-reorganization basis and determined $60 million of goodwill was impaired for 2 reporting units within its Ride Performance segment, one of which was a full impairment of the goodwill. As a result, this non-cash charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2019. Goodwill allocated to other reporting units was supported by the valuation performed at that time.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed purchase accounting for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. As a result, the final goodwill allocation was reassigned to the reorganized segments and reporting unit structure that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 using a relative fair value approach and the Company determined an incremental $9 million of goodwill was

impaired for 1 reporting unit in its Ride Performance segment. This non-cash charge was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the total impairment charge recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for the reorganization of the reporting units that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 was $69 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company performed a review of potential triggering events, and concluded no events indicated it was more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units had declined to below their carrying values at September 30, 2019. The Company considered the results of the post-reorganized reporting unit changes that occurred in the first quarter of 2019, which indicated 9 reporting units with goodwill. Management compared its future projected cash flows as of September 30, 2019 to the future projected cash flows utilized in the valuation performed during the first quarter of 2019 and concluded there is no indication the carrying value of its reporting units would be less than their fair values.

If the Company’s market capitalization remains at current levels for a sustained period of time or declines further, and if such a decline becomes indicative the fair value of its reporting units have declined to below their carrying values, the Company will need to determine the fair value of its reporting units which may result in a material non-cash goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's intangible assets consist of the following:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made adjustments in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition which resulted in a reduction to the fair value of its investments in nonconsolidated affiliates of $4 million. As a result of finalizing purchase accounting and completing a purchase price allocation for certain equity method investments, a $10 million reduction to equity in earnings was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The non-cash reduction in equity earnings was to recognize the basis difference between the fair value and book value of certain assets, including inventory, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. The purchase price allocation for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition has been finalized. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.

8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity compensation liabilities, and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. For exposures not offset within its operations, the Company may enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Designation of derivative instruments is performed on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy.

Market Risks
Foreign Currency Risk The Company manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa. As a result, the Company's financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and sells its products. The Company generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Polish zloty, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar.

Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments including cash equivalents and derivative contracts expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. The Company's counterparties for cash equivalents and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company's requirement of high credit standing. The Company's counterparties for derivative contracts are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counterparty and through monitoring counterparty credit risks. The Company's concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at September 30, 2019 and 2018 is not material.

Other The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge

effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective hedges, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, are recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for effective hedges are reclassified into operations upon recognition of the hedged transaction. Derivative gains and losses associated with undesignated hedges are recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Derivative Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Company enters into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the Company identifies and aggregates existing offsetting positions and then hedges residual exposures through third-party derivative contracts. The gains or losses on these contracts is recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset position of less than $1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The following table summarizes by position the notional amounts for foreign currency forward contracts as of September 30, 2019 (all of which mature in 2019):
 Notional Amount
Long positions$(47)
Short positions$47


Cash-Settled Share Swap Transactions During 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated equity swap agreement. The Company selectively uses cash-settled share swaps to reduce market risk associated with its deferred compensation liabilities. These equity deferred compensation liabilities increase as the Company's stock price increases and decrease as the Company's stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of September 30, 2019, the Company hedged its deferred compensation liability related to approximately 600,000 common share equivalents, an increase from 250,000 common share equivalents as of December 31, 2018. The fair value of the equity swap agreement is recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's equity swap agreement was a net liability position of $1 million at September 30, 2019 and net asset position of $4 million at December 31, 2018.

Hedging Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges — Commodity Price Risk — The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases for up to eighteen months in the future. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include copper and tin. In certain instances within this program, foreign currency forwards may be used in order to match critical terms for commodity exposure.

The Company has designated these contracts as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company records unrecognized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI or OCL”) and makes regular reclassifying adjustments into “Cost of sales” within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) when the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The Company had commodity derivatives outstanding with an equivalent notional amount of $26 million as of September 30, 2019 and $27 million as of December 31, 2018. Substantially all of the commodity price hedge contracts mature within one year.

Net Investment Hedge — Foreign Currency Borrowings — The Company has foreign currency denominated debt, €770 million of which was designated as a net investment hedge in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. Changes to its carrying value are included in shareholders' equity in the foreign currency translation component of OCL and offset against the translation adjustment on the underlying net assets of those foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, which are also recorded in OCL. The Company’s debt instruments are discussed further in Note 10, Debt and Other Financing Arrangements.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A three-level valuation hierarchy, based upon observable and unobservable inputs, is used for fair value measurements. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy definition prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions.


Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents assets and liabilities included in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair value:

Commodity and Foreign Currency Contracts — The Company calculates the fair value of its commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts using commodity forward rates and currency forward rates, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values. The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on bank deposit rates. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset position of less than $1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items measured at fair value on a recurring basis, assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include long-lived assets and intangible assets which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment.

The Company has determined the fair value measurements related to each of these rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company's assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available (level 3). To determine the fair value of long-lived asset groups, the Company utilizes discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset group.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year. These fair value measurements require the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, and growth rates, which are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair value are reasonable, but different assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value.

During the first quarter, the Company reorganized the reporting structure of its Aftermarket, Ride Performance, and Motorparts segments and the underlying reporting units within those segments. See Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information on the goodwill impairment recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements In the Company's European and U.S. accounts receivable factoring programs, accounts receivables are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under these factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. Certain programs in Europe have deferred purchase price arrangements with the banks.

The Company is the servicer of the receivables under some of these arrangements and is responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions. Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred accounts receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.

In the U.S and Canada, the Company participates in supply chain financing programs with certain of the Company's aftermarket customers through a drafting program.

The amounts outstanding for these factoring and drafting arrangements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

If the Company were not able to factor receivables or sell drafts under either of these programs, its borrowings under its revolving credit agreement might increase. These programs provide the Company with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing and allow the Company to reduce borrowings under its revolving credit agreement.

11. Pension Plans, Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits

12. Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to year-to-date ordinary income. Jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effect of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter due to the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. The tax effects of certain items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

(Unaudited)

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $9 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $69 million. This compares to income tax expense of $22 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $88 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $5 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $23 million. This compares to income tax expense of $73 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $276 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to $33 million of net tax benefit recognized relating to a valuation allowance release for an entity in Spain, pre-tax income taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate, and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to $5 million and $12 million of tax benefit recognized relating to acquisition and restructuring charges, $10 million of tax benefit recognized for valuation allowance release at our Australia entities, pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $9 million and $11 million of tax expense was recognized for changes in the toll tax discussed below.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") was enacted into U.S. law, which, among other provisions, lowered the corporate income tax rate effective January 1, 2018 from 35% to 21%, and implemented significant changes with respect to U.S. tax treatment of earnings originating from outside the U.S. Many of the provisions of TCJA are subject to regulatory interpretation and U.S. state conforming enactments. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations, effective on February 5, 2019, which provided additional guidance to assist taxpayers in computing the toll tax. Based on the final regulations a $2 million tax benefit was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and amount of recent losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. If recent operational improvements continue in our foreign subsidiaries, the Company believes it is reasonably possible sufficient positive evidence may be available to release all, or a portion, of its valuation allowance in the next twelve months in certain jurisdictions. This may result in a one-time tax benefit of up to $4 million, primarily related to China and France.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible up to $9 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of foreign statute of limitations and the conclusion of income tax examinations may be recognized within the next twelve months.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and other national and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation typically requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities. Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, its share of the total waste sent to these sites generally has been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is not material.

On a global basis, the Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is seeking to resolve its responsibilities for those sites for which a claim has been received.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)


The Company expenses or capitalizes, as appropriate, expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has an obligation to remediate or contribute towards the remediation of certain sites, including the sites discussed above at which it may be a PRP.

The Company maintains the aggregated estimated share of environmental remediation costs for all these sites on a discounted basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities$8
 $12
Deferred credits and other liabilities29
 28
 $37
 $40


For those locations where the liability was discounted, the weighted average discount rate used was 1.3% and 2.9% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company's expected payments of environmental remediation costs for non-indemnified locations are estimated to be approximately:
 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and thereafter
Expected payments$5
 $5
 $3
 $3
 $2
 $17


Based on information known to the Company from site investigations and the professional judgment of consultants, the Company has established reserves it believes are adequate for these costs. Although the Company believes these estimates of remediation costs are reasonable and are based on the latest available information, the costs are estimates, difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, and are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent of remediation required. At some sites, the Company expects other parties will contribute to the remediation costs. In addition, certain environmental statutes provide the Company's liability could be joint and several, meaning the Company could be required to pay amounts in excess of its share of remediation costs. The financial strength of the other PRPs at these sites has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the estimated liability. The Company does not believe any potential costs associated with its current status as a PRP, or as a liable party at the other locations referenced herein, will be material to its annual consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company’s primary asset retirement obligations ("ARO") activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. ARO fair values are determined based on the Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the remediation activities, generally using a present value technique.

The Company maintains ARO liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities$3

Antitrust Investigations and Litigation
On March 25, 2014, representatives of the European Commission (EC) were at Tenneco GmbH's Edenkoben, Germany administrative facility to gather information in connection with an ongoing global antitrust investigation concerning multiple automotive suppliers. On the same date, the Company also received a related subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”).

On November 5, 2014, the DOJ granted conditional leniency to the Company, its subsidiaries, and its 50% affiliates as of such
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)

date ("2014 Tenneco Entities") pursuant to an agreement the Company entered into under the Antitrust Division's Corporate Leniency Policy. This agreement provides important benefits to the 2014 Tenneco Entities in exchange for the Company's self-reporting of matters to the DOJ and its continuing full cooperation with the DOJ's resulting investigation. For example, the DOJ will not bring any criminal antitrust prosecution against the 2014 Tenneco Entities, nor seek any criminal fines or penalties, in connection with the matters the Company reported to the DOJ. Additionally, there are limits on the liability of the 2014 Tenneco Entities related to any follow-on civil antitrust litigation in the United States. The limits include single rather than treble damages, as well as relief from joint and several antitrust liability with other relevant civil antitrust action defendants. These limits are subject to the Company satisfying the DOJ and any court presiding over such follow-on civil litigation.

On April 27, 2017, the Company received notification from the EC that it has administratively closed its global antitrust inquiry regarding the production, assembly, and supply of complete exhaust systems. No charges against the Company or any other competitor were initiated at any time and the EC inquiry is now closed.

Certain other competition agencies are also investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company and its subsidiaries, including Federal-Mogul. The Company has cooperated and continues to cooperate fully with all of these antitrust investigations and take other actions to minimize its potential exposure.

The Company and certain of its competitors are also currently defendants in civil putative class action litigation and are subject to similar claims filed by other plaintiffs, in the United States and Canada. More related lawsuits may be filed, including in other jurisdictions. Plaintiffs in these cases generally allege that defendants have engaged in anticompetitive conduct, in violation of federal and state laws, relating to the sale of automotive exhaust systems or components thereof. Plaintiffs seek to recover, on behalf of themselves and various purported classes of purchasers, injunctive relief, damages and attorneys’ fees. However, as explained above, because the DOJ granted conditional leniency to the 2014 Tenneco Entities, the Company's civil liability in U.S. follow-on actions with respect to these entities is limited to single damages and the Company will not be jointly and severally liable with the other defendants, provided that the Company has satisfied its obligations under the DOJ leniency agreement and approval is granted by the presiding court. Typically, exposure for follow-on actions in Canada is less than the exposure for U.S. follow-on actions.

Following the EC's decision to administratively close its antitrust inquiry into exhaust systems in 2017, receipt by the 2014 Tenneco Entities of conditional leniency from the DOJ and discussions during the third quarter of 2017 following the appointment of a special settlement master in the civil putative class action cases pending against the Company and/or certain of its competitors in the United States, the Company continues to vigorously defend itself and/or take actions to minimize its potential exposure to matters pertaining to the global antitrust investigation, including engaging in settlement discussions when it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. For example, in October 2017, the Company settled an administrative action brought by Brazil's competition authority for an amount that was not material. In December 2018, the Company settled a separate administrative action brought by Brazil’s competition authority against a Federal-Mogul subsidiary, also for an amount that was not material.

Additionally, in February 2018, the Company settled civil putative class action litigation in the United States brought by classes of direct purchasers, end-payors and auto dealers. No other classes of plaintiffs have brought claims against the Company in the United States. Based upon those earlier developments, including settlement discussions, the Company established a reserve of $132 million in its second quarter 2017 financial results for settlement costs that were probable, reasonably estimable, and expected to be necessary to resolve its antitrust matters globally, which primarily involves the resolution of civil suits and related claims. Of the $132 million reserve that was established, $79 million was paid through September 30, 2019. In connection with the resolution of certain claims, $9 million was released from the reserve in the third quarter of 2019 and the Company expects to pay $30 million in the first quarter of 2020 from amounts that were included in the reserve. The reserve of $44 million as of September 30, 2019 is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. While the Company, including its Federal-Mogul subsidiaries, continues to cooperate with certain competition agencies investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company, and the Company may be subject to other civil lawsuits and/or related claims, no amount of this reserve is attributable to matters with the DOJ or the EC, and no such amount is expected based on current information.

The Company's reserve for its antitrust matters is based upon all currently available information and an assessment of the probability of events for those matters where the Company can make a reasonable estimate of the costs to resolve such outstanding matters. The Company's estimate involves significant judgment, given the number, variety and potential outcomes of actual and potential claims, the uncertainty of future rulings and approvals by a court or other authority, the behavior or
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(Unaudited)

incentives of adverse parties or regulatory authorities, and other factors outside of its control. As a result, the Company's reserve may change from time to time, and actual costs may vary. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, the Company does not expect any such change in the reserve will have a material adverse effect on the Company's annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other Legal Proceedings, Claims and Investigations
For many years the Company has been and continues to be subject to lawsuits initiated by claimants alleging health problems as a result of exposure to asbestos. The Company's current docket of active and inactive cases is less than 500 cases in the United States and less than 50 in Europe.

With respect to the claims filed in the United States, the substantial majority of the claims are related to alleged exposure to asbestos in the Company's line of Walker® exhaust automotive products although a significant number of those claims appear also to involve occupational exposures sustained in industries other than automotive. A small number of claims have been asserted against one of the Company's subsidiaries by railroad workers alleging exposure to asbestos products in railroad cars. The Company believes, based on scientific and other evidence, it is unlikely that U.S. claimants were exposed to asbestos by the Company's former products and that, in any event, they would not be at increased risk of asbestos-related disease based on their work with these products. Further, many of these cases involve numerous defendants. Additionally, in many cases the plaintiffs either do not specify any, or specify the jurisdictional minimum, dollar amount for damages.

With respect to the claims filed in Europe, the substantial majority relate to occupational exposure claims brought by current and former employees of Federal-Mogul facilities in France and amounts paid out were not material. A small number of occupational exposure claims have also been asserted against Federal-Mogul entities in Italy and Spain.

As major asbestos manufacturers and/or users continue to go out of business or file for bankruptcy, the Company may experience an increased number of these claims. The Company vigorously defends itself against these claims as part of its ordinary course of business. In future periods, the Company could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved unfavorably to the Company. To date, with respect to claims that have proceeded sufficiently through the judicial process, the Company has regularly achieved favorable resolutions. Accordingly, the Company presently believes that these asbestos-related claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company is also from time to time involved in other legal proceedings, claims or investigations. Some of these matters involve allegations of damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities (including toxic tort, property damage and remediation), intellectual property matters (including patent, trademark and copyright infringement, and licensing disputes), personal injury claims (including injuries due to product failure, design or warning issues, and other product liability related matters), taxes, unclaimed property, employment matters, and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. Additionally, some of these matters involve allegations relating to legal compliance.

While the Company vigorously defends itself against all of these legal proceedings, claims and investigations and take other actions to minimize its potential exposure, in future periods, the Company could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved on unfavorable terms. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, including the Company's assessment of the merits of the particular claim, except as described above under "Antitrust Investigations and Litigation", the Company does expect the legal proceedings, claims or investigations currently pending against it will have any material adverse effect on its annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Warranty Matters
The Company provides warranties on some of its products. The warranty terms vary but range from one year up to limited lifetime warranties on some of its premium aftermarket products. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold or when specific warranty issues are identified with the Company's products. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. The Company believes the warranty reserve is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. The reserve is included in both current and long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

14. Leases

The Company has operating and finance leases for real estate and equipment. Generally, the leases have remaining terms ofone month to ten years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less which do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In addition, some leases include options to terminate the lease. The Company generally negotiates these termination clauses in anticipation of any changes in market conditions; however, because a termination option requires approval from management, the Company assumes the majority of its termination options will not be exercised when determining the lease term.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all costs associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease cost. Lease expense is recorded in operating expenses in the results of operations.

Some leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in the computation of the right of use assets or lease liabilities. Rather, variable payments, other than those dependent upon a market index or rate, are expensed when the obligation for those payments is incurred and are included in "Cost of sales" and "Selling, general, and administrative" within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

The Company does not include significant restrictions or covenants in its lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are generally not included within its operating leases.

Cash-Settled Awards
Prior to 2018, the Company revisedhas granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") and long-term performance units ("LTPUs") to certain key employees that are payable in cash. These awards are classified as liabilities and are valued based on the fair value of the award at the grant date and are remeasured at each reporting date until settlement with compensation expense being recognized in proportion to the completed requisite period up until date of settlement. At September 30, 2019, the LTPUs outstanding included a three-year grant for 2017-2019 payable in the first quarter of 2020.

Share-Settled Awards
The Company has granted restricted stock to its reportabledirectors and certain key employees as well as RSUs and performance share units ("PSUs") that are payable in common stock to certain key employees. These awards are settled in shares upon vesting and recognized in equity based on their fair value.

(15)Revenue
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, an amendment on revenue recognition. The amendment created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the industry topics of the codification. In addition, the amendment supersedes the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and created new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
We adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all the related amendments ("new revenue standard") on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The cumulative effect of the adoption was recognized as decrease to accumulated deficit of $1 million and the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2018 opening balance sheet for the adoption of ASC Topic 606 were as follows:
 Balance at December 31, 2017 Adjustments due to ASU 2014-09 Adjustments due to ASU 2016-16 (a) Balance at January 1, 2018

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. While the majority of the contracts we enter into with original equipment (“OE”) and aftermarket customers are long-term supply arrangements, the performance obligations are established by the enforceable contract, which is generally considered to be the purchase order but in some cases could be the delivery release schedule. The purchase order, or related delivery release schedule, is of a duration of less than one year. As such, the Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less, for which work has not yet been performed.
Certain taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue producing transactions, such as value added taxes, are excluded from revenue and recorded on a net basis.
Performance Obligations
The Company generates revenue through the design, manufacture, and sale of clean air and ride performance systems and products for light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway and other applications. We recognize revenue for sales to our OE and aftermarket customers when transfer of control of the related good or service has occurred. Revenue from most of OE and aftermarket goods and services is transferred to customers occurs at a point in time. Contract terms with certain of our OE customers results in products and services being transferred over time due to the customized nature of some of our products together with contractual provisions in certain of our customer contracts that provide us with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Under typical terms, we do not have the right to consideration until the time of shipment from our plants or distribution center or the time of delivery to our customers. The timing of revenue recognition from products transferred to customers over time may be slightly accelerated compared to our right to consideration at the time of shipment or delivery. We invoice the customer once transfer of control has occurred and we have a right to payment. Our typical payment terms vary based on the customer and the type of goods and services in the contract. The period of time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As our standard payment terms are less than one year, we have elected the practical expedient under ASC paragraph 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.
Original Equipment
In a typical arrangement with an OE customer, purchase orders are issued for pre-production activities, which consist of engineering, design and development, tooling, and prototypes for the manufacture and delivery of component parts. We have concluded that these activities are not in the scope of ASC Topic 606 and for that reason, the Company has not made any changes to how it accounts for reimbursable pre-production costs, currently accounted for as a cost reduction. Generally, in connection with the sale of exhaust systems to certain OE manufacturers, we purchase catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters or components thereof including precious metals (“substrates”) on behalf of our customers which are used in the assembled system. These substrates are included in our inventory and are “passed through” to the customer at our cost, plus a small margin. Since we take title to the substrate inventory and have responsibility for both the delivery and quality of the finished product including the substrates, the revenues and related expenses are recorded at gross amounts. Revenues recognized for substrate sales were $596 million and $522 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1,869 million and $1,610 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Due to the highly customized nature of certain finished components for our OE customers, revenue is recognized over time, consistent with the transfer of control of an asset with limited alternative use, and the Company having an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. We consider an input measure (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over time revenue associated with these customized parts. A cost measure best depicts the means of transfer of goods to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs to fulfill contracts. Total revenue recognized over time for such customized parts totaled less than $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
Prices for our OE customer base are generally fixed on the purchase order and allocation of consideration between goods and services is rare as the highly customized parts are considered sold at their standalone selling price. If an occasion arose whereby a finished component was not deemed sold at its standalone selling price, consideration would be allocated among different performance obligations based on an estimate, most likely cost plus margin, of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract.
Aftermarket
Our aftermarket customers take delivery of finished components, which are recognized as revenue at the time the customer takes possession, which is usually at the time of shipment. This determination is based on applicable shipping terms as well as the consideration of other indicators, including timing of when the Company has a present right to payment, when physical possession of products is transferred to customers, when the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and any provisions in contracts regarding customer acceptance. While unit prices are generally fixed, for certain of our aftermarket customers, we provide for variable consideration, typically in the form of promotional incentives and returns at the time of sale. Expected values are based upon the contractual terms of the incentives and historical experience with returns. In most cases, we are able to derive the expected value of variable consideration at a level to conclude it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods. In cases where the high threshold for recognition is not established, such amounts will be constrained and recognized when the uncertainty underlying the constraint is resolved. Certain aftermarket contracts with customers include terms and conditions that provide for inventory adjustments that result in a customer right of return that should be accounted for on a gross basis. For these contracts we have recorded a refund liability and inventory return asset.
Contract Balances
Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been met, and therefore, revenue has not been recognized.

The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.
Disaggregation of revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by product lines, as it depicts the nature and amount of the Company’s revenue that is aligned with the Company's key growth strategies. In the following table, revenue is disaggregated accordingly:

Changes to policies related to revenue recognition under ASC Topic 606
Upon the adoption of ASC Topic 606, there was a change in the pattern of revenue recognition for certain customized parts. Under ASC Topic 605, revenue was recognized for these customized parts when title and risk of loss passed to the customers under the terms of our arrangements with those customers, which was usually at the time of shipment from our plants or distribution centers. As a result of the adoption, the revenue from these contracts is now being recognized over time because the customized parts are considered to be assets with limited alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for work completed to date. The Company considers the costs incurred (input method) as a fair measure of progress for the over time recognition of revenue associated with these customized parts.
The following tables summarize the impacts of adopting ASC Topic 606 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018:

(16) Subsequent Events
On October 1, 2018, we completed our Acquisition of all of the interests in Federal-Mogul. Total consideration was approximately $5.2 billion. The Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Due to the limited amount of time since the closing of the Acquisition, the initial purchase accounting for the Acquisition has yet to be completed, including determining the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of recognized and previously unrecognized assets and liabilities. Federal-Mogul's annual sales in 2017 were $7.9 billion. We will provide additional disclosures in our Form 10-K once the initial purchase accounting is complete.See Note 2, Acquisition of Federal-Mogul for additional information.
Following the completion of the Acquisition, Federal-Mogul was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. In addition, at the effective time of the Acquisition, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated in order to create a new class of non-voting Class B Common Stock and to reclassify the Company’s existing common stock as Class A Voting Common Stock. See Note 2, Acquisition of Federal-Mogul for additional information. On the same date, the Company also entered into a New Credit Facility in connection with the Acquisition. The New Credit Facility includes $4.9 billion of total debt financing, consisting of a five-year $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a five-year $1.7 billion term loan A facility and a seven-year $1.7 billion term loan B facility. See Note 4, Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for additional information.
On October 26, 2018, we announced our plan to close our OE ride control plants in Owen Sound, Ontario and Hartwell, Georgia as part of an initiative to realign our manufacturing footprint to enhance operational efficiency and respond to changing market conditions and capacity requirements. We expect to complete the closure of the two facilities near the end of the second quarter of 2020. Restructuring and related charges are expected to be in the range of $70 million to $85 million, with $20 million to $30 million occurring in the fourth quarter of 2018. The charges comprise between $40 million and $50 million of cash expenditures (including severance payments to employees, the cost of decommissioning and starting up equipment, and other costs associated with this action) and between $30 million and $35 million of non-cash asset write-downs and other costs.

In
Öhlins Intressenter AB Acquisition
On January 10, 2019, we completed the third quarteracquisition of a 90.5% ownership interest in Öhlins Intressenter AB (the "Öhlins Acquisition"), a Swedish technology company that develops premium suspension systems and components for the automotive and motorsport industries. The purchase price was $162 million. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, of our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Federal-Mogul Acquisition
On October 1, 2018, light vehicle production was upwe completed the acquisition of a 100% ownership interest in Federal-Mogul LLC (the "Federal-Mogul Acquisition", and together with the Öhlins Acquisition, the "Acquisitions"). See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, of our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Separation Transaction and Change in Reportable Segments
Following the closing of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to pursue the separation of the combined company. As such, we previously announced our intention to separate our businesses through a spinoff transaction in mid-year 2020 to form two percent in both North Americanew, independent publicly traded companies, an Aftermarket and South America,Ride Performance company ("DRiV") and up seven percent in India compareda new Powertrain Technology company ("New Tenneco"). We remain committed to the third quarterseparation of 2017. Light vehicle production was down five percentthe businesses and continue to execute our plan for the spinoff. Additionally, we are evaluating multiple strategic options to deleverage and facilitate the separation. Certain of these options could help mitigate the effect of challenging market conditions, which, if current trends were to continue, would likely affect our ability to complete a separation in Europe and down four percent in China when compared to the third quarter of 2017. In the first nine months of 2018, light vehicle production was up seven percent in South America, up 10 percent in India and up one percent in China compared to the first nine months of 2017. Light vehicle production was flat in Europe and down one percent in North America when compared to the first nine months of 2017.
mid-year 2020 time range. In the first quarter of 2018,2019, we changedbegan to manage and report our reportableDRiV businesses through two new operating segments as compared to the three operating segments we had previously reported. The DRiV operating segments consist of Motorparts and Ride Performance. The new Motorparts operating segment consists of the previously reported Aftermarket operating segment as well as the aftermarket portion of the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. The Ride Performance operating segment consists of the previously reported Ride Performance operating segment as well as the OE Braking business that was included in the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. As such, prior period operating segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect our current operating segments. The new reportingfuture New Tenneco consists of two existing operating segments, (Clean Air, Ride PerformancePowertrain and Aftermarket) align with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth strategies.Clean Air. Costs related to other business activities, primarily corporate headquarter functions, are disclosed separately from the threefour operating segments as "Other."Corporate." Prior period segmentation has been revised to conform to current year presentation.
On October 1, 2018, we closed on the acquisition of all of the interests in Federal-Mogul LLC ("Federal-Mogul"), (the "Acquisition") pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Federal-Mogul, American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP” and, together with certain affiliated entities, the “Sellers”) and Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“IEP”). Total consideration was approximately $5.2 billion. Following the completion of the Acquisition, Federal-Mogul was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company.

Results of Operations
For the ThreeNine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 20172019
TotalConsolidated revenues were $13,307 million, an increase of $5,822 million, or 78%, for the third quarter of 2018 were $2,372 million, up $98nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Acquisitions increased revenues by $5,616 million, or four percent,75%. The remaining increase in revenues was primarily driven by the net favorable effects of organic growth from $2,274higher sales volume and mix of $454 million inand the third quarterfavorable effect of 2017 on growth inother of $8 million, partially offset by the Clean Air and Ride Performance segments. Excluding the impactunfavorable effects of foreign currency and substrate sales, revenue was up $80 million, or five percent, from $1,752 million to $1,832 million, driven primarily by stronger light vehicle volumes, higher commercial truck, off-highway and other vehicle revenues and new platforms.exchange of $256 million.

Cost of sales (exclusivewas $11,310 million, an increase of depreciation and amortization): Cost of sales$4,981 million, or 79%, for the third quarter of 2018nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Acquisitions increased $103 million to $2,014 million, or 84.9 percent of sales, compared to $1,911 million, or 84.0 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2017. The following table lists the primary drivers behind the change in cost of sales ($ millions)by $4,690 million, or 74%.

Quarter ended September 30, 2018$2,014

The remaining increase in cost of sales was mainlyprimarily driven by incremental costs related to higher sales volume and mix of $470 million, the unfavorable effects of materials sourcing of $1 million, and an increase in other costs of $31 million, which was partially offset by a favorable effect of foreign currency exchange of $209 million.

Net income decreased by $185 million to $18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $203 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by:
an increase in selling, general, and administrative costs primarily due to the year-over-yeareffect of the Acquisitions of $410 million;
an increase in volume,depreciation and amortization of $323 million primarily due to the Acquisitions;
an increase in engineering, research and development of $130 million primarily due to the Acquisitions;
an increase in restructuring charges and other of $71 million related to higher costs for facility closure and other costs;
a goodwill impairment charge of $69 million as a result of our change in operating segments; and
an increase in interest expense and other financing charges of $173 million.
These unfavorable effects were partially offset by:
an increase in equity earnings in nonconsolidated affiliates of $34 million, which was the result of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition; and
a reduction in income tax expense of $68 million.

Recent Trends and Market Conditions
There is inherent uncertainty in the continuation of the trends discussed below. In addition, there may be other factors or trends that can have an effect on our business. Our business and operating results are affected by the relative strength of:

General economic conditions
Our OE business is directly related to automotive vehicle production by our customers. Automotive production levels depend on a number of factors, including global and regional economic conditions. Demand for aftermarket products is driven by three primary factors: the number of vehicles in operation; the average age of vehicles; and vehicle usage trends (primarily distance traveled).

Global vehicle production levels (According to IHS Markit, October, 2019)
Global light vehicle production decreased by 3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. Production levels in North America remained flat year over year while production in Europe increased 1%. Global light vehicle production was down in the other major markets in which we operate. South America and China light vehicle production decreased by 5% in each region and India decreased by 20%.

Global light vehicle production decreased by 6% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. Both South American and European light vehicle production decreased by 4%. North American light vehicle production decreased 2%, with negative growth in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Light vehicle production in India and China decreased by 12% in each region. 

Global commercial vehicle production decreased by 4% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. For both the three and nine month comparative periods, commercial vehicle production increased in North America by 5%, increased in Brazil by 4% and remained flat in Europe. China posted a decrease for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 of 5% and India experienced a decrease of 22% over the same comparable periods.





Part replacement trends
The strength of our aftermarket business is influenced by several key drivers. These include the vehicle population (or "parc"), average vehicle age, fuel prices, and vehicle distance traveled. The vehicle parc is estimated to have expanded in most major markets, including the U.S., China, and Germany.  Average vehicle ages also increased, despite growth in new vehicle sales, in most regions. Vehicle distance traveled varies by region and is sensitive to several factors, including fuel prices, and transportation alternatives.

Geopolitical risk
We conduct business globally, which subjects us to numerous risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, “Brexit” implications, joint ventures in unstable regions, and substantial new tariffs. For example, we have operations in the U.K. which may be materially affected by the U.K.'s referendum to leave the European Union, which has created uncertainty in both the U.K. and Europe. We also have an interest in a Turkish joint venture, which may be affected by recent turmoil in that region. In addition, we do business in Mexico and China where there could be potential changes in trade agreements (e.g., the North American Free Trade Agreement) and new or changed tariffs in the U.S. (such as those relating to China).

Foreign currencies
Given the global nature of our operations, we are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates and there has been significant volatility in foreign currency rates.

Strategy
The key components of our strategy are as follows:

Continue to optimize our operations by aggressively pursuing cost competitiveness in all business segments and continuing to drive productivity in existing operations
We operate within competitive industries and our management teams continuously analyze opportunities to reduce costs and improve productivity. We assess individual opportunities to execute our strategy based upon estimated sales and margin growth, cost reduction potential, internal investment returns, and other criteria, to make investment decisions on a case-by-case basis.

We will continue to focus on operational excellence by optimizing our manufacturing footprint, further developing our engineering capabilities, managing the complexities of our global supply chain to realize purchasing economies of scale while satisfying diverse and global requirements, and supporting our businesses with robust information technology systems. We will make investments in our operations and infrastructure as required to achieve our strategic goals.

We seek to continue optimizing our performance through enhanced efficiencies to meet the world-class delivery performance our customers increasingly require. We have made investments in our global distribution network, through our new multi-product distribution centers, the implementation of automated picking technology, and a more efficient replenishment system with the objective of improving inventory visibility and availability, and lowering costs.

Execute a Separation Transaction
We completed the Federal-Mogul Acquisition on October 1, 2018. We will continue to seek synergies to optimize the two independent companies in preparation for the anticipated separation. This optimization should present additional opportunities for cost reduction, increased profitability, and cash flow.

Assess focused acquisition and investment opportunities that provide product line expansion, technological advancements, geographic positioning, penetration of emerging markets and market share growth
We completed the Öhlins Acquisition, a Swedish technology company that develops premium suspension systems and components for the automotive and motorsport industries. We intend to continue to explore strategic alliances, joint ventures, acquisitions and other transactions that complement, expand or enhance our existing products, technology, systems development efforts, customer base and/or global presence.

Adapt cost structure to economic realities
We aggressively respond to difficult economic environments, executing comprehensive restructuring and cost-reduction initiatives, and realigning our operations to any resulting reductions in production levels and replacement demand. Suppliers must also continually identify and implement product innovation and cost reduction activities to fund customer annual price concession expectations to retain current business and be competitively positioned for future new business opportunities.



Original Equipment Specific Strategies
We strive to strengthen our global position by designing, manufacturing, delivering and marketing technologically innovative products and systems for OE manufacturers. The key components of our OE strategy are as follows:

Maintain technological leadership to drive further growth from secular market trends
OE manufacturers are responding to changing end customer trends and preferences alongside their own challenging cost structures by reducing design and production complexities, and investing in advanced technologies that enable vehicle electrification and autonomy. We anticipate OE suppliers with high technology capabilities in vehicle system integration will be able to enable a more seamless transition to next-generation electric vehicles and become preferred suppliers to OE manufacturers. In order to maintain our strong market positions, we are focused on meeting these changing requirements and keeping up with new OE trends. In addition, our suite of solutions represents an opportunity to drive greater partnership with OE manufacturers, capturing growth with higher value content per vehicle.

Penetrate adjacent market segments
We seek to penetrate a variety of adjacent sales opportunities and achieve growth in higher-margin businesses by leveraging our technology and engineering leadership in powertrain, clean air, ride performance and aftermarket into adjacent sales opportunities for heavy-duty trucks, buses, agricultural equipment, construction machinery and other vehicles in other regions around the world.

Aftermarket Specific Strategies
The aftermarket business strategy incorporates a go-to-market model that we believe differentiates us from our competitors and creates structural support for sustained revenue growth. The model is designed to drive revenue growth by capitalizing on three of our key competitive strengths: a leading portfolio of products and brands; extensive global manufacturing, distribution and service capabilities; and proprietary insights based on market intelligence gathered from our distributors, installers and consumers. We intend to leverage these proprietary insights to drive business processes including engineering, innovation, manufacturing, product and brand management, distribution, and services management, all of which enable us to bring innovative products and services to market quickly and efficiently.

We expect the demand for replacement parts to increase steadily as a result of the anticipated significant increase in vehicles in operation (“VIO”), the increase in the average age of VIO, and the increase in the average miles driven per year. The characteristics of aftermarket sales and distribution are defined regionally, which require regionally focused strategies to address the key success factors of our customers. The key components of our aftermarket strategy are described below:

Leverage the strength of our global aftermarket leading brands positions, product portfolio and range, marketing and selling expertise, and distribution and logistics capabilities
The aftermarket business includes multiple leading brands with strong product offerings. Our portfolio of the industry’s most well-respected and enduring brands includes Monroe®, Champion®, Öhlins®, MOOG®, Walker®, Fel-Pro®, Wagner®, Ferodo®, Rancho®, Thrush®, National®, Sealed Power® and others. While we have many leading brands, we are continually focused on investing in our brands to maintain our position.

We will leverage our go-to-market model to build upon our brand strengths and grow our global aftermarket business by consistently delivering differentiated benefits, by growing our brand equity among our target end customers and by leveraging our broad product coverage and extensive distribution network. We are in an outstanding position to capitalize on aftermarket trends and expand in mature markets (North America, Europe, Australia) as well as high-growth regions (China, South America, India, Southeast and Northeast Asia). Important focus areas are enhancing our presence in high-growth markets; leveraging our portfolio and strong presence in suspension to expand our business globally; and diversifying outside of chassis with our sealing, electronic and underhood products, as well as other components.

Continue to strengthen our aftermarket capabilities and product offerings in mature markets, including North America and Europe
The scale of our aftermarket business allows for strong distribution channels that significantly enhance our go-to-market capabilities across mature markets in North America and Europe. We are continually improving our already strong distribution networks with the goal of improved customer service at a lower cost. This is achieved by continually harnessing and leveraging market intelligence, and sharing information with our channel partners to drive best practices in go-to-market, manufacturing and distribution processes.

The North America and Europe go-to-market capabilities will be defined by positioning our distribution and installer partners for success. We believe this will require maintaining an extensive catalogue of products to provide the ability to address customer requirements quickly and easily. Managing large and complex catalogues of products requires an understanding of the


composition of the car parc within the regions including wear patterns, typical replacement rates based on weather, road quality, and average miles driven annually. These compositions differ significantly by region, which will affect the range and frequency of replacement part requirements. The understanding of these regional dynamics will help us provide the right parts when they are needed and achieve the industry’s best “Order to Delivery” times. We will continue to innovate product solutions that will be cost competitive, reliable, reduce install time, reduce the number of unique parts that installers need to inventory on-site, reduce the number of unique installer tools and equipment required, and improve installer safety.

In addition to having a comprehensive product offering, we also strive to maintain very close relationships with our customers and help position them for success. We have launched a series of “Tech First” initiatives to provide online, on demand, and on-site technical training and support to vehicle repair technicians who use and install our products in North America and Europe and plan to expand into South America in 2020. This initiative included Garage Gurus™, a network of technical support centers that provide some of the most comprehensive training programs in the industry that educate our partners and customers with emerging vehicle technologies and vehicle repair operational skills. We believe it is key to our strategy to provide aftermarket parts that are simple to install and to make sure our customers have the resources to know how to install these parts properly. In having the right products and resources for our customers, we believe we will continue to be a preferred
aftermarket supplier and continue to drive growth in North America and Europe.

Increase aftermarket position in high-growth regions, notably in Asia Pacific
The Asia Pacific region, particularly the high-growth markets of China and India, presents a significant opportunity for us to expand our business. We have made investments in our distribution and sales force in both China and the rest of Asia to help drive growth in this increasingly important region. We must take into account the different operational requirements in Asia Pacific in order to drive aftermarket growth in this region.

The Asia Pacific light vehicle and commercial vehicle aftermarket industry is fragmented with a large number of small distributors and installers that require different strategies and solutions than more mature consolidated markets. Distribution in smaller volumes will require us to have a hub and spoke warehousing approach to compete on the basis of optimal “Order to Delivery” timelines while maintaining a broad range of products.

Additionally, buying online is the preferred purchase method for many smaller distribution and installer partners.
The sophistication of the existing online marketplaces in Asia Pacific will require us to develop adaptive and flexible omnichannel tools in order to compete effectively. We believe that developing a competitive online platform for our Asia Pacific customers will be the foundation for us to build a digital platform that will improve our competitiveness globally.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2019. Also refer to Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional discussion on our goodwill.

Non-GAAP Measures
As a result of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, we changed our key performance measure. We now utilize EBITDA including noncontrolling interests as the key performance measure in our financial and operational decision making processes, for internal reporting, and for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, noncontrolling interests, and depreciation and amortization. Prior period results have been conformed to reflect the change in our key performance measure. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with US GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests, as determined and measured by us, should not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Segment Results of Operations

Overview of Net Sales and Operating Revenues
An element of the revenues of ourOur Clean Air segment is derived fromhas substrate sales. Substrates are porous ceramic filters coated with a catalyst - typically, precious metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. While we generally have primary design, engineering and manufacturing responsibility for OE emission control systems, weWe do not manufacture substrates, but rather,as they are supplied to us by Tier 2 suppliers generally as directed by our OE customers. We generally earn a small margin on these components of the system. AsThese substrate components have been increasing as a percentage of our revenue as the need for more sophisticated emission control solutions increases to meet more stringent environmental regulations, and as we capture more diesel aftertreatment business, these substrate components have been increasing as a percentage of our revenue.business. While these substrates dilute our gross margin percentage, they are a necessary component of an emission control system.
We present these substrate sales separately because we believe investors utilize this information to understand the impact of this portion of our revenues on our overall business and because it removes the impact of potentially volatile precious metals pricing from our revenues. While our original equipment customers generally assume the risk of precious metals pricing volatility, it impacts our reported revenues. Presenting revenues that exclude “substrates” used in catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters removes this impact.
Our value-add content in an emission control system includes designing the system to meet environmental regulations through integration of the substrates into the system, maximizing use of thermal energy to heat up the catalyst quickly, efficiently managing airflow to reduce back pressure as the exhaust stream moves past the catalyst, managing the expansion and contraction of the emission control system components due to temperature extremes experienced by an emission control system, using advanced acoustic engineering tools to design the desired exhaust sound, minimizing the opportunity for the fragile components of the substrate to be damaged when we integrate it into the emission control system and reducing unwanted noise, vibration and harshness transmitted through the emission control system.
Finally,
We disclose substrate sales amounts because we present these reconciliations of revenues in orderbelieve investors utilize this information to reflect value-add revenues withoutunderstand the effect of changesthis portion of our revenues on our overall business and because it removes the effect of potentially volatile precious metals pricing from our revenues. While our OE customers generally assume the risk of precious metals pricing volatility, it affects our reported revenues.

Higher light vehicle and commercial truck, off-highway and other vehicle sales and new platforms were more than offset by launch costs related to a major truck platform, carryover of 2017 steel economic impacts, higher restructuring and related expenses, a $9 million litigation settlement and an increase in depreciation and amortization. Restructuring and related expenses of $37 million and $19 million were included in EBIT for the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Currency had a $1 million favorable impact on EBIT of Ride Performance for the first nine months of 2018 when compared to last year.
EBIT for Aftermarket decreased $16 million to $130 million in the first nine months of 2018 from $146 million in the first nine months of 2017 primarily due to lower volumes, unfavorable mix, higher manufacturing costs, an increase in depreciation and amortization and pre-closing costs of $1 million, partially offset by favorable pricing. Currency had a $6 million unfavorable impact on EBIT of Aftermarket for the first nine months of 2018 when compared to last year.

In Clean Air, EBIT as a percentage of revenues for the first nine months of 2018 was down one percentage point compared to last year's first nine months driven by higher light vehicle revenues, higher commercial truck, off-highway and other vehicle sales, new platforms, lower restructuring and related expenses and manufacturing performance efficiencies, which was more than offset by pre-closing costs, increased depreciation and amortization, unfavorable mix and pricing.
In Ride Performance, EBIT as a percentage of revenues for the first nine months of 2018 was down three percentage points compared to last year's first nine months. Higher light vehicle and commercial truck, off-highway and other vehicle sales and new platforms were more than offset by launch costs related to a major truck platform, carryover of 2017 steel economic impacts, higher restructuring and related expenses, a litigation settlement and increased depreciation and amortization.
In Aftermarket, EBIT as a percentage of revenues for the first nine months of 2018 was down one percentage point compared to last year's first nine months primarily due to lower volumes, unfavorable mix, higher manufacturing costs, increased depreciation and amortization and pre-closing costs, partially offset by favorable pricing.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Capitalized
We reported interest expense in the third quarter of 2018 of $21 million, net of interest capitalized of $1 million, and $19 million, net of interest capitalized of $2 million in the third quarter of 2017.
We reported interest expense in the first nine months of 2018 of $61 million, net of interest capitalized of $4 million, and $54 million, net of interest capitalized of $6 million in the first nine months of 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates on our floating rate debt. Included in the first nine months of 2017 was $1 million of expense related to our refinancing activities.
On September 30, 2018, we had $736 million of principal amounts in long-term debt obligations that have fixed interest rates. Of that amount, $500 million is fixed through July 2026, $225 million is fixed through December 2024, and the remainder is fixed through 2025. We also had $585 million of principal amounts in long-term debt obligations that were subject to variable interest rates.

Accounts Receivable Securitization and Factoring
On-Balance Sheet Arrangements — We have securitization programs for some of our accounts receivable, with limited recourse provisions. Borrowings on these securitization programs, which are recorded in short-term debt, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows (amounts in millions):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements — We have an antitrust settlement accrual.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") was enacted into U.S. law, which, among other provisions, lowered the corporate income tax rate effective January 1, 2018 from 35% to 21%, and implemented significant changes with respect to U.S. tax treatment of earnings originating from outsideaccounts receivable factoring program in the U.S. Manywith a commercial bank. Under this program we sell receivables from certain of our U.S. OE customers at a rate that is favorable versus our senior credit facility. This arrangement is uncommitted and provides for cancellation by the commercial bank with no less than 30 days prior written notice. In addition, we have two other receivable factoring programs in the U.S. with commercial banks under which we sell receivables from certain of our aftermarket customers to whom we have extended payment terms. Both arrangements are uncommitted and may be terminated with 10 days prior notice for one program and 30 days prior notice for the other program.

We also have subsidiaries in several countries in Europe that are parties to accounts receivable factoring facilities. The commitments for these arrangements are generally for one year, but some may be canceled with notice 90 days prior to renewal. In some instances, the arrangement provides for cancellation by the applicable financial institution at any time upon notification. Certain of these programs in Europe include deferred purchase price arrangements.

These programs provide us with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing, and allow us to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. If we were not able to factor receivables under these programs, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase, although this could be partially mitigated by exercising our right to shorten payment terms with certain of the provisionsaftermarket customers whose receivables we sell under the U.S. factoring programs in the event that those factoring programs are terminated.

In the U.S and Canada, we participate in supply chain financing programs with certain of TCJAour aftermarket customers to whom we have extended payment terms whereby the accounts receivable are subjectsatisfied through the early receipt of negotiable financial instruments that are payable at a later date when payments from our customers are due. We sell these financial instruments before their maturity date to regulatory interpretationvarious financial institutions at a discount.

If these supply chain financing programs were terminated or the financial institutions that currently participate in these programs were to reduce their purchases of drafts, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase, although this could be partially mitigated by exercising our right to shorten payment terms with certain of the aftermarket customers whose drafts we sell under the U.S. and U.S. state conforming enactments. Canadian programs in the event that those programs are terminated or otherwise reduced.

Supply Chain Financing
Certain of our suppliers participate in supply chain financing programs under which they securitize their accounts receivables from us. Financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing program on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables or drafts from our suppliers at any time. If the financial institutions did not continue to refinepurchase receivables or drafts from our estimates throughoutsuppliers under these programs, the measurement period provided forparticipating vendors may have a need to renegotiate their payment terms with us which in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, or untilturn could cause our accounting is complete, whichever is earlier.borrowings under our revolving credit facility to increase.

Capital Requirements
We believe cash flows from operations, combined with our cash on hand (subject to our proportionate share and any applicable withholding taxes upon repatriation of cash balances from our foreign taxing jurisdictions represented sufficient negative evidence to require us tooperations) and available borrowing capacity described above (assuming we maintain a full valuation allowance against certaincompliance with the financial covenants and other requirements of our senior credit facility agreement) will be sufficient to meet our future capital requirements, including debt amortization, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and other operational requirements, for the following year. Our ability to meet the financial covenants depends upon a number of operational and economic factors, many of which are beyond our control. In the event we are unable to meet these financial covenants, we would consider several options to meet our cash flow needs. Such actions include additional restructuring initiatives and other cost reductions, sales of assets, reductions to working capital and capital spending, issuance of equity and other alternatives to enhance our financial and operating position. Should we be required to implement any of these actions to meet our cash flow needs, we believe we can do so in a reasonable time frame.

Restructuring and Other Charges
Over the past several years, we have adopted plans to restructure portions of our operations. These plans were approved by our Board of Directors and were designed to reduce operational and administrative overhead costs throughout the business.
In the third quarter of 2018, we incurred $12 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related the accelerated move of our Beijing Ride Performance plant, and other cost improvement initiatives.

We expect all assembly to be relocated to the new facility by the end of the year and the component manufacturing relocation to be completed during the first quarter of 2019.
In the third quarter of 2017, we incurred $20 million in restructuring and related costs, including asset write-downs of $1 million, primarily related to closing a Clean Air manufacturing plant and downsizing Ride Performance operations in Australia and other cost improvement initiatives. In the first nine months of 2017, we incurred $52 million in restructuring and related costs, including asset write-downs of $3 million, primarily related to closing a Clean Air Belgian JIT plant in response to the end of production on a customer platform, closing a Clean Air manufacturing plant and downsizing Ride Performance operations in Australia and other cost improvement initiatives.

On October 26, 2018, we announced our plan to close our original equipment (OE) ride control plants in Owen Sound, Ontario and Hartwell, Georgia as part
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $93 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This included net repayments on term loans of an initiative to realign our manufacturing footprint to enhance operational efficiency and respond to changing market conditions and capacity requirements. We expect to begin transferring current customer business primarily to our ride control facility in Kettering, Ohio, later this year. We expect to complete the closure of the two facilities near the end of the second quarter of 2020. We estimate that these restructuring actions will generate between $20$107 million and $25net borrowings on revolving lines of credit of $256 million.

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $12 million in annualized savings beginning byfor the end of 2020. Restructuring and related charges are expected to be in the range of $70 million to $85 million, with $20 million to $30 million occurring in the fourth quarter of 2018. The charges comprise between $40 million and $50 million of cash expenditures (including severance payments to employees, the cost of decommissioning and starting up equipment, and other costs associated with this action) and between $30 million and $35 million of non-cash asset write-downs and other costs.
As previously disclosed, we expect to achieve synergies of at least $200 million in connection with the Acquisition. Achievement of these synergies will likely require restructuring actions. Accordingly, we expect that our level of restructuring charges and expense for 2019 will be more than our historical levels of restructuring charges and expenses.
Other Structural Cost Reductions
The Company has also been tracking other costs, unrelated to manufacturing operations, which are intended to support achievement of Acquisition synergies. In the third quarter of 2018, these other costs were $4 million, of which $3 million was recorded in SG&A and $1 million in other income and expenses. In the first nine months ended September 30, 2018. This included net repayments on term loans of 2018, these other costs were $13$23 million, net repayments on revolving lines of which $8credit of $23 million, was recorded in SG&A, $4 million in engineering, research, and development and $1 million in other expense, net.

On February 1, 2017, the Company announced the reinstatementcredit facilities as of a quarterly dividend program. We expect to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on our common stock, representing a planned annual dividend of $1.00 per share. In the third quarter of 2018 and 2017, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, or $14 million in each quarter. In the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, or $39 million and $40 million, respectively. As a result of the Federal-Mogul transaction, and the resulting higher share count, the quarterly dividend payment will increase to $20 million beginning in the fourth quarter. In view of our current stock price and overall sector valuations, we will evaluate the best methodology to return this value to our shareholders. This may result in a change in the dividend and returning that capital via share buybacks in a comparable amount.

On-Balance Sheet Arrangements — We have securitization programs for some of our accounts receivable, with limited recourse provisions. Borrowings on these securitization programs, which are recorded in short-term debt, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows (amounts in millions):
  September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
Borrowings on securitization programs $3

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements — We have an accounts receivable factoring program in the U.S. with a commercial bank. Under this program we sell receivables from certain of our U.S. OE customers at a rate that is favorable versus our senior credit facility. This arrangement is uncommitted and provides for cancellation by the commercial bank with no less than 30 days prior written notice. In addition, we have two other receivable factoring programs in the U.S. with commercial banks under which we sell receivables from certain of our aftermarket customers to whom we have extended payment terms. Both arrangements are uncommitted and may be terminated with 10 days prior notice for one program and 30 days prior notice for the other program.

We also have subsidiaries in several countries in Europe that are parties to accounts receivable factoring facilities. The commitments for these arrangements are generally for one year, but some may be canceled with notice 90 days prior to renewal. In some instances, the arrangement provides for cancellation by the applicable financial institution at any time upon notification. Certain of these programs in Europe include deferred purchase price arrangements.

These programs provide us with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing, and allow us to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. If we were not able to factor receivables under these programs, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase, although this could be partially mitigated by exercising our right to shorten payment terms with certain of the aftermarket customers whose receivables we sell under the U.S. factoring programs in the event that those factoring programs are terminated.

In the U.S and Canada, we participate in supply chain financing programs with certain of our aftermarket customers to whom we have extended payment terms whereby the accounts receivable are satisfied through the early receipt of negotiable financial instruments that are payable at a later date when payments from our customers are due. We sell these financial instruments before their maturity date to various financial institutions at a discount.

If these supply chain financing programs were terminated or the financial institutions that currently participate in these programs were to reduce their purchases of drafts, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase, although this could be partially mitigated by exercising our right to shorten payment terms with certain of the aftermarket customers whose drafts we sell under the U.S. and Canadian programs in the event that those programs are terminated or otherwise reduced.

The accounts receivables under the programs described above are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under these factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. We are the servicer of the receivables under some of these arrangements and are responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions. Where we receive a fee to service and monitor these transferred accounts receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.

The amounts outstanding for these factoring and drafting arrangements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows (amounts in billions):

Supply Chain Financing
Certain of our suppliers participate in supply chain financing programs under which they securitize their accounts receivables from us. Financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing program on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables or drafts from our suppliers at any time. If the financial institutions did not continue to purchase receivables or drafts from our suppliers under these programs, the participating vendors may have a need to renegotiate their payment terms with us which in turn could cause our borrowings under our revolving credit facility to increase.

Capital Requirements
We believe cash outflow of $56 million during the third quarter of 2017. Accounts payable used $26 millionflows from operations, combined with our cash on hand (subject to our proportionate share and any applicable withholding taxes upon repatriation of cash balances from our foreign operations) and available borrowing capacity described above (assuming we maintain compliance with the financial covenants and other requirements of our senior credit facility agreement) will be sufficient to meet our future capital requirements, including debt amortization, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and other operational requirements, for the quarterfollowing year. Our ability to meet the financial covenants depends upon a number of operational and economic factors, many of which are beyond our control. In the event we are unable to meet these financial covenants, we would consider several options to meet our cash flow needs. Such actions include additional restructuring initiatives and other cost reductions, sales of assets, reductions to working capital and capital spending, issuance of equity and other alternatives to enhance our financial and operating position. Should we be required to implement any of these actions to meet our cash flow needs, we believe we can do so in a reasonable time frame.

On May 12, 2017, we completed a refinancing of our senior credit facility by entering into an amendment and restatement of that facility. The amended and restated credit agreement enhanced financial flexibility by increasing the size and extending the term of its revolving credit facility and term loan facility, and by adding Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc. as a co-borrower under the revolver credit facility. The amended and restated credit agreement also added foreign currency borrowing capability and permitted the joinder of our foreign and domestic subsidiaries as borrowers under the revolving credit facility in the future. If any foreign subsidiary of ours had been added to the revolving credit facility as a borrower, the obligations of such foreign borrower would have been secured by the assets of such foreign borrower, and also will be secured by the assets of, and guaranteed by, the domestic borrowers and domestic guarantors as well as certain foreign subsidiaries of ours in the chain of ownership of such foreign borrower. The amended and restated credit facility consisted of a $1,600 million revolving credit facility and a $400 million term loan A facility, which replaced our former $1,200 million revolving credit facility and $264 million term loan A facility, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, the senior credit facility provides us with a total revolving credit facility of $1,600 million and had a $375 million balance outstanding under the term loan A facility, both of which will matureborrowings on May 12, 2022.
Borrowings under our revolving credit facility were $207 million at September 30, 2018 and $453 million at September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2018, there was $180 million borrowing under the U.S. accounts receivable securitization program, whereas at September 30, 2017, there was $50 million.programs.

Outlook
Fourth Quarter 2018
In the fourth quarter, we expect constant currency organic revenue growth in our legacy business of three percent, outpacing forecasted light vehicle industry production growth of one percent. We anticipate currency will have a negative impact on revenue of three percent, based on exchange rates as of September 30, 2018. With the closing of the Federal-Mogul acquisition, we expect approximately $1.9 billion of additional revenue from Federal-Mogul operations in the fourth quarter.
We expect fourth quarter combined Tenneco and Federal-Mogul value-add adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 11.0 percent to 11.4 percent.
Full Year 2018
For the full year, we raised our revenue guidance and now expect constant currency organic revenue growth in our legacy business of six percent, outpacing industry production by five percentage points. We expect full year revenue of approximately $11.8 billion, reflecting this strong organic growth as well as Federal-Mogul revenue from the date of acquisition.
For the full year, we expect our value-add adjusted EBITDA margin, including Federal-Mogul from the date of acquisition, in the range of 11.3 percent to 11.5 percent.
Acquisition of Federal-Mogul LLC
During a special meeting of stockholders held September 12, 2018, the Company's stockholders approved all of the proposals related to the acquisition of Federal-Mogul. The acquisition was officially completed on October 1, 2018.
Tenneco's projections are based on the type of information set forth under "Outlook" in Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as set forth in Tenneco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Please see that disclosure for further information. Additionally, assumptions for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 are based on current and projected customer production schedules as well as aggregate industry production, which includes IHS Automotive October 2018 global light vehicle production forecasts, Power Systems Research (PSR) October 2018 forecast for global commercial truck and buses, PSR off-highway engine production in North America and Europe and Tenneco estimates. Unless otherwise indicated, our methodology does not attempt to forecast currency fluctuations, and accordingly, reflects constant currency. Certain elements of the restructuring and related expenses, legal settlements and other unusual charges we incur from time to time cannot be forecasted accurately. In this respect, we are not able to forecast EBIT or EBITDA (and the related margins) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts on account of these factors and the difficulty in predicting GAAP revenues (for purposes of a margin calculation) due to variability in production rates and volatility of precious metal pricing in the substrates that we pass through to our customers. See “Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the ‘Safe Harbor’ Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” and Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31 2017, except for the following:
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company recorded a transition adjustment as of January 1, 2018, which increased retained earnings (accumulative deficit) by $1 million related to these arrangements. Please refer to Note 15, Revenue, in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the adoption of this standard.
Revenue is recognized for our original equipment and aftermarket customers when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of our products. For most of our products, transfer of control occurs upon shipment or delivery, however, a limited number of our customer arrangements for our highly customized products with no alternative use provide us with the right to payment during the production process. As a result, for these limited arrangements, under the new revenue standard, revenue is recognized as goods are produced and control transfers to the customer.
Generally, in connection with the sale of exhaust systems to certain original equipment manufacturers, we purchase catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters or components thereof including precious metals (“substrates”) on behalf of our customers which are used in the assembled system. These substrates are included in our inventory and “passed through” to the customer at our cost, plus a small margin, since we take title to the inventory and are responsible for both the delivery and quality of the finished product. Revenues recognized for substrate sales were $1,869 million and $1,610 million for the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. For our aftermarket customers, we provide for promotional incentives and returns at the time of sale. Estimates are based upon the terms of the incentives and historical experience with returns. Certain taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue producing transactions, such as value added taxes, are excluded from revenue and recorded on a net basis. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues and the related costs are included in cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

The 2018 year-to-date increase in the Company's shareholders' equity primarily resulted from net income attributable to Tenneco Inc. of $162 million, a $11 million increase related to pension and postretirement benefits and a $9 million increase in premium on common stock and other capital surplus relating to common stock issued pursuant to benefit plans, partially offset by a $39 million decrease related to cash dividends declared and a $102 million decrease caused by the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on the translation of financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars.
Overview. As of September 30, 2018, our financing arrangements were primarily provided by a committed senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions.

(“Moody’s”) and BB- (with a stable outlook) or higher from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), the interest rate on borrowings under the term loan B facility will be LIBOR plus 2.75%; at any time the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, the interest rate on the term loan B facility will be LIBOR plus 3.00%. When the term loan B facility is no longer outstanding and the Company and its subsidiaries have no other secured indebtedness (with certain exceptions set forth in the New Credit Facility), and upon the Company achieving and maintaining two or more corporate credit and/or corporate family ratings higher than or equal to BBB- from S&P, BBB- from Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) and/or Baa3 from Moody’s (in each case, with a stable or positive outlook), the collateral under the New Credit Facility may be released.

The New Credit Facility contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants which are customary for debt facilities of this type. The negative covenants limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make distributions to the Company's stockholders, (iii) purchase or redeem the Company's equity interests, (iv) make investments, (v) create liens on their assets, (vi) enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates, (vii) sell assets and (viii) merge or consolidate with, or dispose of substantially all of the Company's assets to, other companies.Conditions The New Credit Facility also contains two financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and the term loanTerm Loan A facility including (x) a requirement to have a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of not greater than 4.0 to 1 through September 30, 2019, 3.75 to 1 through September 30, 2020 and 3.5 to 1 thereafter; and (y) a requirement to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of not less than 2.75 to 1. 
The New Credit Facility includes customary events of default and other provisions that could require all amounts due thereunder to become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the option of the lenders, if the Company fails to comply with the terms of the New Credit Facility or if other customary events occur. The New Credit Facility does not contain any terms that could accelerate the payment of it as a result of a credit rating change.
Senior Credit Facility — Other Terms and Conditions. At September 30, 2018, our senior credit facility required that we maintain financial ratios equal to or better than the following consolidated net leverage ratio (consolidated indebtedness plus, without duplication, the domestic receivable program amount, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents up to $250 million, divided by consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the senior credit facility agreement), and consolidated interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense, as defined in the senior credit facility agreement) at the end of each period indicated. Failure to maintain these ratios will result in a default under our senior credit facility. The financial ratios required under the senior credit facility outstanding as of September 30, 2018New Credit Facility and the actual ratios we achievedcalculated as of September 30, 2019 for the third quarter of 2018,2019, are as follows:

At September 30, 2018, the senior credit facility included a maximum leverage ratio covenant of 3.503.27 actual versus 4.00 (maximum) required; and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 6.00 actual versus 2.75 in each case through May 12, 2022.(minimum) required.

Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes — Other Terms and Conditions The senior credit facility provided us withSenior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes contain covenants that will, among other things, limit our ability to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the flexibilitySenior Secured Notes and 2024 Senior Unsecured Notes also require, as a condition precedent to incurring certain types of indebtedness not to exclude certain otherwise excludable charges incurred in any relevant period from the calculation of the leverage and interest coverage ratios for such period. As of September 30, 2018, we elected not to exclude a total of $106 million of excludable charges. Had these charges been excluded, the leverage ratio and the interestpermitted, our consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, would have been 1.68 and 12.31, respectively, as of September 30, 2018.
As of September 30, 2018, the covenants in our senior credit facility agreement generally prohibit us from repaying or refinancing our senior notes. So long as no default existed, we would, however, under our senior credit facility agreement, be permitted to repay or refinance our senior notes (i) with the net cash proceeds of permitted refinancing indebtedness (as defined in the senior credit facility agreement) or with the net cash proceeds of our common stock, in each case issued within 180 days prior to such repayment; (ii) with the net cash proceeds of the incremental facilities (as defined in the senior credit facility agreement) and certain indebtedness incurred by our foreign subsidiaries; (iii) with the proceeds of the revolving loans (as defined in the senior credit facility agreement); (iv) with the cash generated by our operations; (v) in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of qualified capital stock (as defined in the senior credit facility agreement) issued by us after May 12, 2017; and (vi) in exchange for permitted refinancing indebtedness or in exchange for shares of our common stock; provided that such purchases are capped as follows (with respect to clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) basedcalculated on a pro forma consolidated leverage ratio after giving effect to such purchase, cancellation or redemption):

Although the senior credit facility agreement permitted us to repay or refinance our senior notes under the conditions described above, any repayment or refinancing of our outstanding notes wouldbasis, be subject to market conditions and either the voluntary participation of note holders or our ability to redeem the notes under the terms of the applicable note indenture. For example, while the senior credit facility agreement allowed us to repay our outstanding notes via a direct exchange of the notes for either permitted refinancing indebtedness or for shares of our common stock, we do not, under the terms of the agreements governing our outstanding notes, have the right to refinance the notes via any type of direct exchange.
The senior credit facility agreement also contained othergreater than 2.00, as well as containing restrictions on ourits operations, that are customary for similar facilities, including limitations on: (i) incurring additional liens;indebtedness; (ii) salepaying dividends; (iii) distributions and leaseback transactions (except for the permitted transactions as described in the senior credit facility agreement); (iii) liquidationsstock repurchases; (iv) investments; (v) asset sales and dissolutions; (iv) incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees; (v) investments and acquisitions; (vi) dividends and share repurchases; (vii) mergers and consolidations; (viii) dispositionconsolidations.

At September 30, 2018, of the $1.6 billion available under the revolving credit facility, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,393 million with $207 million in outstanding borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit. We monitor market conditions with respect to the potential refinancing of our outstanding debt obligations, including our senior secured credit facility and senior notes. Depending on market and other conditions, we may seek to refinance our debt obligations from time to time. We cannot make any assurance, however, that any refinancing will be completed.
As of September 30, 2018,2019, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants.

Borrowings on these accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs, wewhich are responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions for these securitized and factored financial assets including collections and processing of customer invoice adjustments. In the U.S., we have an accounts receivable securitization program with three commercial banks comprised of a first priority facility and a second priority facility. We securitize original equipment and aftermarket receivables on a daily basis under the bank program. In April 2017, the U.S. program was amended and extended to April 30, 2019. The first priority facility provides financing of up to $155 million and the second priority facility, which is subordinated to the first priority facility, provides up to an additional $25 million of financing. Both facilities monetize accounts receivable generated in the U.S. that meet certain eligibility requirements, and the second priority facility also monetizes certain accounts receivable generated in the U.S. that would otherwise be ineligible under the first priority securitization facility. The amount of outstanding third-party investments in our securitized accounts receivable under the U.S. program was $180 million and $30 million, recorded in short-term debt, at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017, respectively.2018 are as follows (amounts in millions):
Each facility contains customary covenants for financings of this type, including restrictions related to liens, payments, mergers or consolidations and amendments to the agreements underlying the receivables pool. Further, each facility may be terminated upon the occurrence of customary events (with customary grace periods, if applicable), including breaches of covenants, failure to maintain certain financial ratios, inaccuracies of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain changes in the rate of default or delinquency of the receivables, a change of control and the entry or other enforcement of material judgments. In addition, each facility contains cross-default provisions, where the facility could be terminated in the event of non-payment of other material indebtedness when due and any other event which permits the acceleration of the maturity of material indebtedness.

If we were not able to securitize or factor receivables under either the U.S. or European programs, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase. These accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs provide us with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing, and allow us to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. If we were not able to factor receivables under these programs, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase, although this could be partially mitigated by exercising our right to shorten payment terms with certain of the aftermarket customers whose receivables we sell under the U.S. factoring programs in the event that those factoring programs are terminated.

In onethe U.S and Canada, we participate in supply chain financing programs with certain of our U.S.aftermarket customers to whom we have extended payment terms whereby the accounts receivable securitizationare satisfied through the early receipt of negotiable financial instruments that are payable at a later date when payments from our customers are due. We sell these financial instruments before their maturity date to various financial institutions at a discount.

If these supply chain financing programs were terminated or the financial institutions that currently participate in these programs were to reduce their purchases of drafts, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase, although this could be partially mitigated by exercising our right to shorten payment terms with certain of the aftermarket customers whose drafts we transfer a partial interestsell under the U.S. and Canadian programs in a pool of receivables and the interestevent that we retain is subordinate to the transferred interest. Accordingly, we account for our U.S. securitization program as a secured borrowing. In one U.S. program and our European accounts receivable factoringthose programs we transferare terminated or otherwise reduced.

The accounts receivables under the programs described above are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and satisfy all of the conditions established under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” to report the transfer of financial assetsare accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under the U.S. and Europeanthese factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. We recognized $1 million interest expense in eachare the servicer of the three month periods endedreceivables under some of these arrangements and are responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions. Where we receive a fee to service and monitor these transferred accounts receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.

The amounts outstanding for these factoring and drafting arrangements as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and $4 million and $3 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, relating to our U.S. securitization program. In addition, we recognized a loss of $2 million in each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $5 million and $4 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, on the sale of trade accounts receivable in our U.S. and European accounts receivable factoring programs, representing the discount from book values at which these receivables were sold to our banks. The discount rate varies based on funding costs incurred by our banks, which averaged approximately 2% during both the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively, for the European programs and 3% and during both the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively, for the US program.
Financial Instruments. In certain instances, several of our Chinese subsidiaries receive payment from customers through the receipt of financial instruments on the date the customer payments are due. Several of our Chinese subsidiaries also satisfy vendor payments through the delivery of financial instruments on the date the payments are due.

Supply Chain Financing.Financing
Certain of our suppliers in the U.S. participate in a supply chain financing programs under which they securitize their accounts receivables from the Company.us. Financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing program on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables or drafts from the Company'sour suppliers at any time. If the financial institutions did not continue to purchase receivables or drafts from the Company'sour suppliers under these programs, the participating vendors may have a need to renegotiate their payment terms with the Companyus which in turn wouldcould cause our borrowings under our revolving credit facility to increase.

Capital Requirements. Requirements
We believe that cash flows from operations, combined with our cash on hand subject(subject to our proportionate share and any applicable withholding taxes upon repatriation of cash balances from our foreign operations where most of our cash balances are located,operations) and available borrowing capacity described above assuming that(assuming we maintain compliance with the financial covenants and other requirements of our senior credit facility agreement,agreement) will be sufficient to meet our future capital requirements, including debt amortization, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and other operational requirements, for the following year. Our ability to meet the financial covenants depends upon a number of operational and economic factors, many of which are beyond our control. In the event that we are unable to meet these financial covenants, we would consider several options to meet our cash flow needs. Such actions include additional restructuring initiatives and other cost reductions, sales of assets, reductions to working capital and capital spending, issuance of equity and other alternatives to enhance our financial and operating position. Should we be required to implement any of these actions to meet our cash flow needs, we believe we can do so in a reasonable time frame.

Cash payments for property, plant, and equipment were $541 million and $255 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. These cash payments were primarily related to capital expenditures to invest in new facilities, upgrade existing products, continue new product launches, and infrastructure and equipment at our facilities to support our manufacturing, distribution, and cost reduction efforts, as well as software-related expenditures.

Derivative Financial InstrumentsITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
When foreign currency exchange rate risk cannotWe manufacture and sell our products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. As a result, our financial results could be managedsignificantly affected by operational strategies, we use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts with terms of less than one year, to hedge our exposure tofactors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary exposure to changesrates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which we manufacture and sell our products. We generally try to use natural hedges within our foreign currency rates results from intercompany loansactivities, including the matching of revenues and accounts receivable and payable in nonfunctional currencies made between affiliatescosts, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, we consider managing certain aspects of our foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the need for borrowings from third parties. Additionally, weuse of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Polish zloty, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts — We enter into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. We manage counter-party credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with major financial institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
In managing our foreign currency exposures, we identify and aggregates existing offsetting positions and then hedge residual exposures by creating offsetting intercompany exposures or through third-party derivative contracts. The gain or loss on these contracts is recorded as foreign currency gains (losses) within cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The fair value of ourforeign currency forward contracts are recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net liabilityasset position of less than $1 million at September 30, 20182019 and is based on an internally developed model which incorporates observable inputs including quoted spot rates, forward exchange rates and discounted future expected cash flows utilizing market interest rates with similar quality and maturity characteristics.

Interest Rate Risk
Our financial instruments that are sensitive to market risk for changes in interest rates are primarily our debt securities. We use our revolving credit facility to finance our short-term and long-term capital requirements. We pay a current market rate of interest on these borrowings. Our long-term capital requirements have been financed with long-term debt with original maturity dates ranging from five to ten years. On September 30, 2018,2019, we had $736$1.6 billion par value of fixed rate debt and $3.9 billion par value of floating rate debt. Of the fixed rate debt, $452 million of principal amounts in long-term debt obligations that haveis fixed interest rates. Of that amount,through 2022, $606 million is fixed through 2024, and $500 million is fixed through July 2026, $225 million is fixed through December 2024, and the remainder is fixed through 2025.2026. We also had $585 million$3.9 billion of principal amounts in long-term debt obligations that are subject to variable interest rates. For more detailed explanations on our debt structure and senior credit facility refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization”Resources” earlier in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.Analysis and Note 10, Debt and Other Financing Arrangements in our condensed consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q.

We estimate that the fair value of our long-term debt at September 30, 20182019 was about 9696% percent of its book value. A one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates related to our variable interest rate debt would increase or decrease the annual interest expense we recognize in the income statement and the cash we pay for interest expense by about $8$40 million.

Equity Prices
We also utilize an equity swap arrangement to offset changes in liabilities related to the equity market risks of our arrangements for deferred compensation and restricted stock unit awards. Gain or losses from changes in fair value of these equity swaps are generally offset by the losses or gains on the related liabilities. In 2017,May 2019, we entered into an amended and restated equity swap agreement with a financial institution. We selectively use cash-settled share swaps to reduce market risk associated with our deferred liabilities. These equity compensation liabilities increase as our stock price increases and decrease as our stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing us to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of September 30, 2018,2019, we had hedged the deferred liability related to approximately 250,000600,000 common share equivalents.

Tenneco 401(K) Retirement Savings Plan
Effective January 1, 2012, the Tenneco Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Hourly Employees and the Tenneco Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried Employees were merged into one plan called the Tenneco 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Retirement Savings Plan”). Under the plan, subject to limitations in the Internal Revenue Code, participants may elect to defer up to 75 percent of their salary through contributions to the plan, which are invested in selected mutual funds or used to buy our common stock. We match 100 percent of an employee's contributions up to three percent of the employee's salary and 50 percent of an employee's contributions that are between three percent and five percent of the employee's salary. In connection with freezing the defined benefit pension plans for nearly all U.S. based salaried and non-union hourly employees effective December 31, 2006, and the related replacement of those defined benefit plans with defined contribution plans, we are making additional contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan. We recorded expense for these contributions of approximately $24 million and $22 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Matching contributions vest immediately. Defined benefit replacement contributions fully vest on the employee’s third anniversary of employment.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our ChiefCo-Chief Executive OfficerOfficers and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (asas defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) underof the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ("Exchange Act)Act"), as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on thattheir evaluation, our ChiefCo-Chief Executive OfficerOfficers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting previously identified and described more fully under Item 9A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Internal Controls Surrounding the Accounting for Supplier Payments
A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As previously identified and described more fully under Item 9A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company identified deficiencies that, when aggregated together, resulted in a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in China. Specifically, the Company did not have people with appropriate authority and experience in key positions in China to ensure adherence to Company policies and US GAAP. Additionally, we did not have adequate international oversight to prevent the intentional mischaracterization of the nature of accounting transactions related to payments received from suppliers by certain purchasing and accounting personnel at the Company’s China subsidiaries. The material weakness continued to exist as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
The material weakness resulted in the revision of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, each interim and year-to-date period in those respective years, and the first interim period in 2017. Additionally these control deficiencies could result in the misstatement of the relevant account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, our management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness.
Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Audit Committee engaged an independent legal firm to investigate these transactions and it concluded that such mischaracterizations were intentional. In particular, certain China personnel created accounting documentation for certain supplier transactions that was inconsistent with the substance of the transactions. With respect to these circumstances, the Company has taken action to dismiss the individuals who engaged in intentional misconduct.
Under the oversight of the Audit Committee and as part of our commitment to strengthening our internal control over financial reporting, we implemented a number of actions during the second half of 2017, including (i) strengthening the China accounting staff with personnel who have significant experience in U.S. and international financial reporting; (ii) providing additional training for China accounting and purchasing personnel; and (iii) augmenting the process with additional oversight from qualified personnel in the U.S. and Europe. Oversight activities have revealed the need for increased frequency in communication and additional transparency in the monitoring mechanisms put in place. Accordingly, we concluded that this material weakness had not yet been remediated as of September 30, 2018.
We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures and controls and make any further changes management determines appropriate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2018,2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Note 8, Environmental Matters, Legal Proceedings13, Commitments and Product Warranties,Contingencies, in our condensed consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
We are exposed to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impacteffect on our business, financial condition and operating results. On April 10, 2018, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we acquired (the “Acquisition”) Federal-Mogul LLC ("Federal-Mogul") on October 1, 2018.
The risk factorsExcept as set forth herein relate primarily to the Acquisition, the nature of Federal Mogul's operations and our planned Spin-off (defined below).
Except for the addition of the risk factors below, there have been no other material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.2018. The risks described herein or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impacteffect such risk factors might have on our business, financial condition and operating results, or the extent to which any such risk factor or combination of risk factors may impactaffect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Changes in tax law or trade agreements and new or changed tariffs could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Changes in U.S. political, regulatory and economic conditions and/or changes in laws and policies governing U.S. tax laws, foreign trade (including trade agreements and tariffs), manufacturing, and development and investment in the territories and countries where the Company or its customers operate could adversely affect its operating results and business.
For example, on December 22, 2017, the U.S. President signed into law new legislation that significantly revises the U.S. income tax code. The newly enacted federal income tax law, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, a one-time transition tax on offshore earnings at reduced tax rates regardless of whether the earnings are repatriated, elimination of U.S. tax on foreign dividends (subject to certain important exceptions), new taxes on certain foreign earnings, a new minimum tax related to payments to foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, immediate deductions for certain new investments as opposed to deductions for depreciation expense over time, and the modification or repeal of manyOur business deductions and credits. Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall impact of the new federal tax law is uncertain and the Company’s financial performance could be adversely affected. In addition, it is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform toaffected by labor disruptions in the new law and whether foreign countries will react by adopting tax legislationUnited States or take other actions that could adversely affect the Company’s business.internationally .
In addition to the United States, Mexico and Canada have renegotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement. The revised agreement, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA"), contains new and revised provisions that alter the prior rules governing when imports and exportsrisk of autos and auto parts are eligible for duty-free treatment. Generally these new rules require a higher percentage of the overall content of the auto or autopart to originate inwork stoppage at one of the USMCA's countries (the U.S., Mexicoour facilities, labor disruptions at other domestic or Canada). The U.S. Congress must approve the USMCA provisions before they can become effective. The Company’s manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Mexico are dependent on duty-free trade within the NAFTA region. The Company has significant imports into the U.S., and the imposition of customs duties on these imports could negatively impact its financial performance.
Moreover, in March 2018, the Trump Administration imposed a 25% ad valorem tariff on certain steel imports and a 10% ad valorem tariff on certain aluminum imports. There was a short exemption period from the steel and aluminum tariffs for Canada, Mexico and the European Union, which ended on June 1, 2018. As a result of the tariffs, Canada, Mexico and the European Union may take retaliatory actions with respect to U.S. imports in their countries, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, on three separate occasions in 2018, the Trump Administration imposed additional tariffs on products from China. Specifically, on July 6, 2018, an additional 25% ad valorem tariff was imposed on certain imports from China. On August 23, 2018, an additional group of Chinese imports were hit with an additional 25% ad valorem tariff, and finally on October 1, 2018, a third group of Chinese imports were hit with an additional 10% ad valorem tariff (set to increase to 25% on January 1, 2019, if no resolution is reached with China by that date). The Administration has signaled that additional Chinese products may be targeted with additional tariffs later in 2018 or in 2019. China has retaliated with tariffs on certain U.S. imports.

The imposition of the steel and aluminum tariffs, or any future imposition of tariffs or duties, is expected to have a pervasive impact on the metals market in which the Company operates and could result in a decrease in imports and higher prices for those imports which are sold into the U.S. When the Company buys metals internationally, it may be unable to pass through the higher costs to its customers, which could adversely impact its financial condition and operating results. In addition, a decrease in imports could cause a disruption or shortage in the availability of the raw materials that the Company buys, which could limit its ability to meet customer demand or purchase material at competitive prices. This could cause the Company to lose sales, incur additional costs, or suffer harm to its reputation, all of which may adversely affect operating results.
Further, in May 2018, the Trump Administration announced that it is considering potential additional tariffs to be imposed on imported automobiles and automotive parts. Certain aspects of our business depend on the importation of automotive parts from outside of the U.S. If these or other similar tariffs are imposed, the Company’s business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
The Company's pension obligations and other postretirement benefits assumed as a result of the Acquisition could adversely affect the Company’s operating margins and cash flows.
Following completion of the Acquisition, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations have increased. The automotive industry, like other industries, continues to be affected by the rising cost of providing pension and other postretirement benefits. In addition, the Company sponsors certain defined benefit plans worldwide that are underfunded and will require cash payments. If the performance of the assets in the pension plans does not meet the Company’s expectations, or other actuarial assumptions are modified, the Company’s required contributions may be higher than it expects.
The Company’s hedging activities to address commodity price fluctuations may not be successful in offsetting future increases in those costs or may reduce or eliminate the benefits of any decreases in those costs.
In order to mitigate short-term variation in operating results due to the aforementioned commodity price fluctuations, Federal Mogul hedged a portion of near-term exposure to certain raw materials used in production processes, primarily copper, nickel, tin, zinc, high-grade aluminum and aluminum alloy. The results of this hedging practice could be positive, neutral or negative in any period depending on price changes in the hedged exposures.
The Company’s hedging activities are not designed to mitigate long-term commodity price fluctuations and, therefore, will not protect from long-term commodity price increases. The Company’s future hedging positions may not correlate to actual raw materials costs, which would cause acceleration in the recognition of unrealized gains and losses on hedging positions in operating results.
The Company’s level of debt, which increased in amount and percentage of floating rate debt as a result of the Acquisition, makes us more sensitive to the effects of economic downturns; and provisions in our debt agreements could constrain our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry.
Our leverage increased as a result of the Acquisition. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, we had approximately $3.4 billion of indebtedness outstanding under our new senior credit facility, $2.0 billion of outstanding notes and approximately $300 million of other debt. In addition, as a result of the Acquisition we have increased exposure to interest rate fluctuations because our percentage of floating rate debt went from 63 percent to 69 percent.
Our level of debt makes us more vulnerable to changes in our results of operations because a significant portion of our cash flow from operations is dedicated to servicing our debt and is not available for other purposes and our level of debt could impair our ability to raise additional capital if necessary. Further increases in interest rates will increase the amount of cash required for debt service. Under the terms of our existing senior secured credit facility, the indentures governing our notes and the agreements governing our other indebtedness, we are able to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. The more we become leveraged, the more we, and in turn our security holders, become exposed to many of the risks described herein.
Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service, capital investment and working capital requirements, we may need to reduce or cease our repurchase of shares or payments of dividends, seek additional financing or sell assets. If we require such financing and are unable to obtain it, we could be forced to sell assets under unfavorable circumstances and we may not be able to sell assets quickly enough or for sufficient amounts to enable us to meet our obligations.
In addition, our senior credit facility and our other debt agreements contain covenants that limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and our industry, including limitations on our ability to:
declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock;
prepay, redeem or purchase other debt;

Risks Relating to the Transaction
We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We and, following the Spin-off, each separate company may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the business of Federal-Mogul.
The success of the transaction will depend, in part, on our ability (and the ability of each separate company following the Spin-off) (defined below) to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition and Spin-off (the “Transaction”) and on our (and each separate company’s) ability to integrate Federal-Mogul’s business in an effective and efficient manner, which is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. The integration process may disrupt business and, if we are unable to successfully integrate Federal-Mogul’s business, we (and each separate company) could fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction. The failure to meet the challenges involved in the integration process and realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our (and each separate company’s) business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the integration of Federal-Mogul may result in material unanticipated challenges, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses and loss of customers and other business relationships. Additional integration challenges include:
diversion of management’s attention to integration matters;
difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the Transaction;
difficulties in the integration of operations and systems;
difficulties in conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures;
difficulties in the assimilation of employees;
difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company;
challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel;
the impact of potential liabilities the Company may be inheriting from Federal-Mogul; and
coordinating a geographically dispersed organization.
Many of these factors are outside of our control and could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of anticipated revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, each of which could adversely affect our (and each separate company’s) business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, even if the integration of Federal-Mogul’s business is successful, we (and each separate company) may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Transaction, including the synergies, cost savings, or sales or growth opportunities. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration process. All of these factors could cause reductions in earnings per share, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the transaction and negatively impact the price of shares of our Common Stock (or each separate company’s stock). As a result, it cannot be assured that the Transaction will result in the realization of the anticipated benefits and potential synergies.
Our current stockholders may have reduced ownership and voting interests following the exercise of certain rights under the Purchase Agreement and exercise less influence over management.
We have granted certain registration rights to AEP for the resale of the shares issued in connection with the Acquisition. These registration rights would facilitate the resale of such shares into the public market, and any such resale would increase the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock available for public trading. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of our Class A Common Stock.

79


Table of Contents


If AEP transfers any shares of its Class B Common Stock to a third-party, the shares of Class B Common Stock so transferred will automatically convert in shares of Class A Common Stock and as a result, our current stockholders will experience further dilution and a proportionate reduction in voting power.
The market price of our Class A Common Stock may be affected by factors different from those affecting the shares of our Common Stock prior to the completion of the Acquisition.
Our historical business differs from that of Federal-Mogul. Accordingly, our results of operations and the market price of our Common Stock following the completion of the Acquisition may be affected by factors that differ from those that previously affected the independent results of operations of each of Tenneco and Federal-Mogul and the market price of our existing common stock prior to the completion of the Acquisition.
The planned Spin-Off following the transaction is subject to various risks and uncertainties and may not be completed in accordance with the expected plans or anticipated timeline, or at all, and will involve significant time and expense, which could disrupt or adversely affect our business.
We intend to separate the combined company’s businesses to create two separate, publicly tradedinternational companies in a spin-off transaction (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin‑Off is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that the Spin-Off will be completed at all or that the Spin-Off will be tax-free for U.S. federal income purposes. We expect that the process of completing the proposed Spin-Off will be time‑consuming and involve significant costs and expenses, which may be significantly higher than what we currently anticipate and may not yield a benefit if the Spin-Off is not completed. Planning for the Spin-Off is in its early stages, and we may encounter unforeseen impediments to the completion of the Spin-Off that render the Spin-Off impossible or impracticable.
If the Spin-Off is not completed, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the market price of our Common Stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Spin-Off will be completed. If the completion of the Spin-Off is delayed, including by the receipt of an acquisition proposal, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
The pendency of the Spin-Off and impact of the Transaction could adversely affect our business, financial results and operations.
The announcement and pendency of the Spin-Off could cause disruptions and create uncertainty surrounding our business and affect our relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees.
As a result of the Transaction, some customers, suppliers or strategic partners may terminate their business relationship with us. Potential customers, suppliers or strategic partners may delay entering into, or decide not to enter into, a business relationship with us because of the Transaction. If customer or supplier relationships or strategic alliances are adversely affected by the Transaction, our (and each separate company’s after the Spin-Off) business, financial condition and results of operations following the Acquisition or Spin-Off could be adversely affected.
We are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of our officers and other key employees to execute our business plans. Our success after and in implementing the Transaction depends in part upon the ability to retain key management personnel and other key employees. Current and prospective employees of the Company may experience uncertainty about their roles with the combined company following the Acquisition or either separate company following the Spin-Off, or concerns regarding operations following the Transaction, any of which may have an adverse effect on us. In the abilityUnited States, substantially all of the hourly employees of General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in North America and many of their other suppliers are represented by The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) under collective bargaining agreements. Internationally, certain vehicle manufacturers, their suppliers and their respective employees are also subject to attractlabor agreements. In September 2019, General Motors hourly workers represented by the UAW went on strike, which has affected the volumes at certain of our North American plants in the third quarter. Although the strike was resolved on October 25, 2019, the strike will affect volumes in the fourth quarter as well. A work stoppage or retain key management and other key personnel. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we (or each separate company after the Spin-Off) will be able to attractstrike at one of our production facilities, at those of a customer, or retain key management personnel and other key employees following the Transaction to the extent that weaffecting a supplier of ours or any of our customers, either domestically or internationally, could have previously been able to attractan adverse effect on us by disrupting demand for our products or retain such employees.
In addition, we have diverted, and will continue to divert, significant management resources to complete the Transaction, which could adversely impact our ability to manage existing operations or pursue alternative strategic transactions, which could adversely affectmanufacture our business, financial condition and results of operations.products.
The Spin-Off may not achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits.
We may not realize some or all of the anticipated strategic, financial, operational or other benefits from the Spin-Off. As independent publicly-traded companies, the two companies will be smaller, less diversified companies with a narrower business focus. As a result, the two companies may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, which could result in increased volatility in their cash flows, working capital and financing requirements and could have a material adverse effect on the respective business, financial condition and results of operations of each company. Further, there can be no assurance that the combined value of the common stock of the two companies will be equal to or greater than what the value of our common stock would have been had the Spin-Off not occurred.

Table of Contents


The combined company prior to the Spin-Off and, if the Spin-Off is completed, each separate company following the Spin-Off may underperform relative to our expectations.
Following completion of the Transaction, the combined company or each separate company may not be able to maintain the growth rate, levels of revenue, earnings or operating efficiency that we and Federal-Mogul have achieved or might achieve separately. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or, following the Spin-Off, the business, financial condition and results of operations of each separate company.
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant transaction costs in connection with the Transaction that could adversely affect our results of operations.
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs in connection with integrating the business and operations of Federal-Mogul with our business and operations and effectuating the Spin-Off. We may also incur additional unanticipated costs in the separation processes. These could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, or the business, financial condition and results of operations of each company following the Spin-Off, in the period in which such expenses are recorded, or the cash flows, in the period in which any related costs are actually paid.
Furthermore, we and each company following the Spin-Off may incur material restructuring charges in connection with integration activities or the Spin-Off, which may adversely affect operating results for the period in which such expenses are recorded, or cash flows in the period in which any related costs are actually paid.

(a) None.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) Purchase of equity securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers. The following table provides information relating to our purchase of shares of our common stock in the third quarter of 2018.2019. These purchases reflect shares withheld upon vesting of restricted stock for tax withholding obligations. We generally intend to continue to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of outstanding restricted stock through the withholding of shares.
In January 2015, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing our company to repurchase up to $350 million of our outstanding common stock over a three year period. In October 2015, our Board of Directors expanded this share repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of an additional $200 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. In February 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $400 million of the Company'sour then outstanding common stock over the next three years, including $112 million that remained authorized under earlier repurchase programs. The Company anticipates acquiringWe generally acquire the shares through open market or privately negotiated transactions which will be funded throughand have historically used cash from operations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Companyus to repurchase shares within any specific time or situations, and opportunities in higher priority areas could affect the cadence of this program.time. We did not repurchase any shares through this program in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Since we announced the share repurchase program in January 2015, we have repurchased 11.3 million shares for $607 million through September 30, 2018.2019.
