(Unaudited)



1. Basis of Presentation
Meritor, Inc. (the "company" or "Meritor"), headquartered in Troy, Michigan, is a premier global supplier of a broad range of integrated systems, modules and components to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and the aftermarket for the commercial vehicle, transportation and industrial sectors. The company serves commercial truck, trailer, military, bus and coach, construction and other industrial OEMs and certain aftermarkets. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are those of the company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
In the opinion of the company, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of September 30, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest September 30, and its fiscal quarters generally end on the Sundays nearest December 31, March 31 and June 30. The secondthird quarter of fiscal years 2020 and 2019 ended on March 29,June 28, 2020 and March 31,June 30, 2019, respectively. Fiscal year 2019 ended on September 29, 2019. All year and quarter references relate to the company’s fiscal year and fiscal quarters, unless otherwise stated. For ease of presentation, September 30 and March 31June 30 are used consistently throughout this report to represent the fiscal year end and secondthird fiscal quarter end, respectively.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared a global health pandemic related to the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the company's financial performance in the second quarterand third quarters of fiscal year 2020 and will continue to have an adverse impact for at least the remainder of fiscal year 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, government health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including shelter-in-place orders, prohibitions on public gatherings and other similar measures. As a result, the company and certain of the company's customers and suppliers have temporarily closed select manufacturing locations beginning late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, continuing into the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. TheAs of May 31, 2020, all of the company's global facilities were operating limited production. Most of the company’s salaried employees are working remotely until further notice. There is uncertainty around the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact it will have on the company's operations, supply chain and demand for its products. As a result, the ultimate impact on the company's business, financial condition or operating results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
2. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation includes the impact of dilutive common stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance share unit awards and convertible securities, if applicable.
A reconciliation of basic average common shares outstanding to diluted average common shares outstanding is as follows (in millions):

(1) The potential effect of 0.6 million restricted and performance shares and 0.7 million shares issuable upon conversion of our convertibles notes are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 because inclusion in a loss from continuing operations period would reduce the loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders.
In November 2019, the Board of Directors approved a grant of performance share units to all executives eligible to participate in the long-term incentive plan. Each performance share unit represents the right to receive 1 share of common stock or its cash

equivalent upon achievement of certain performance and time vesting criteria. The fair value of each performance share unit was $25.25, which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2019. The Board of Directors also approved a grant of 0.3 million restricted share units to these executives. The restricted share units vest at the earlier of three years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment with the company under certain circumstances. The fair value of each restricted share unit was $25.25, which was the company's share price on the grant date of December 1, 2019.
The actual number of performance share units that will vest depends upon the company’s performance relative to the established performance metrics for the three-yearthree-year performance period of October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2022, measured at the end of the performance period. The number of performance share units that vest will depend on adjusted EBITDA margin, new business wins, free cash flow conversion and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations which are all weighted at 25%. The number of performance share units that vest will be between 0% and 200% of the grant date amount of 0.4 million performance share units.

3. New Accounting Standards
Accounting standards implemented during fiscal year 2020
On October 1, 2019, the company implemented Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The company elected the practical expedient package which allowed the company to not reassess whether existing contracts contain a lease and to not reassess classification of existing leases. The company also adopted ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, electing to not separate lease and non-lease components in contracts that contain both and electing to not restate comparative periods when adopting ASU 2016-02. As a result, the company recognized a right-of-use asset and lease liability as a lessee for substantially all existing operating leases and has included new and expanded disclosures. (See Note 5)
Accounting standards to be implemented
The following represent the standards that may result in a significant change in practice and/or have a significant financial impact on the company.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including accounts receivable. The ASU also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The amendments in this update are required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its accounting policies and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU add, modify, and eliminate certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. Others should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its accounting policies and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

5. Leases
The company’s lease portfolio is comprised of leases of real estate, including manufacturing and office facilities, and leases of personal property, including machinery and equipment and IT equipment. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease costs and variable lease costs were insignificant in the three and sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.

For all asset classes, the company has elected to adopt the practical expedient under ASC 842 to not separate lease and non-lease components in contracts that contain both. These lease agreements are accounted for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. The company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As the discount rate implicit in the lease is typically unknown, the discount rate used to determine the lease liability for the majority of our leases is the collateralized incremental borrowing rate in the applicable geographic area for a similar term and amount as the lease agreement.

6. Goodwill
In accordance with ASC Topic 350-20, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other," goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more frequently if certain indicators arise. If business conditions or other factors cause the operating results and cash flows of a reporting unit to decline, the company may be required to record impairment charges for goodwill at that time.
The company tests goodwill for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit, which is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. When two or more components of an operating segment have similar economic characteristics, the components are aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit. An operating segment is deemed to be a reporting unit if all of its components are similar, if none of its components are a reporting unit, or if the segment comprises only a single component.
Realignment of Reporting Units
As discussed in Note 22, the company realigned its operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, resulting in a change to its reportable segments. As a result of the change in reportable segments, the company’s reporting units changed. The Commercial Truck segment contains 1 reporting unit. The Aftermarket and Industrial segment contains 3 reporting units.

Restructuring actions associated with this plan are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.2021.

8. Income Taxes
For each interim reporting period, the company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740-270, "Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods." The rate so determined is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or an actual year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Income tax expense (benefit) is allocated among continuing operations, discontinued operations and other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Such allocation is applied by tax jurisdiction, and in periods in which there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in another category, such as discontinued operations or OCI, income tax expense is allocated to the other sources of income, with a related benefit recorded in continuing operations.

In evaluating the ability to recover its net deferred tax assets, the company utilizes a consistent approach which considers its historical operating results, including an assessment of the degree to which any gains or losses are driven by items that are unusual

MERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


in nature, and tax planning strategies. In addition, the company reviews changes in near-term market conditions and other factors that impact future operating results. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, the company continues to maintain the valuation allowances in France, Germany, the U.K., and certain other jurisdictions, as the company believes the negative evidence that it will be able to recover these net deferred tax assets continues to outweigh the positive evidence. If, in the future, the company generates taxable income on a sustained basis, its conclusion regarding the need for valuation allowances in these jurisdictions could change.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which includes various income and payroll tax provisions, was signed into law by the U.S. government. In addition, various other coronavirus tax relief initiatives have been implemented around the world. As of the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2020, these tax initiatives did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, and 2019, the company had approximately $2$6 million of net pre-tax loss compared to $4 million, of net pre-tax income in the same period in fiscal year 2019 in tax jurisdictions in which tax expense (benefit) is not recorded. For the sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, the company had approximately $5$1 million of net pre-tax incomeloss compared to $8$12 million of net pre-tax income in the same period in fiscal year 2019 in tax jurisdictions in which tax expense (benefit) is not recorded.
9. Acquisition
Acquisition of AxleTech Business
On July 26, 2019, the company acquired 100 percent of the voting equity interest of the AxleTech group companies for approximately $179 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The company funded the acquisition with the term loan under the revolving credit agreement (see Note 17). The acquisition of AxleTech enhances Meritor’s growth platform with the addition of a complementary product portfolio that includes a full line of independent suspensions, axles, braking solutions and drivetrain components across the off-highway, defense, specialty and aftermarket markets. AxleTech operates within Meritor’s Aftermarket Industrial and TrailerIndustrial segment.

Since completion of initial estimates in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the company has recorded $1 million in measurement period adjustments to decrease the provisional fair value of receivables, inventory and other assets acquired in the AxleTech transaction, resulting in a corresponding $1 million increase in goodwill. This adjustment was made to reflect additional available information. The measurement period remains open to finalize the value of tangible and intangible assets. The company is reviewing and may record other additional measurement period adjustments in fiscal year 2020. All goodwill resulting from the acquisition of AxleTech was assigned to the Aftermarket Industrial and TrailerIndustrial reportable segment (see Note 6).

conversion price associated with the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes. The 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes were also classified as current as of September 30, 2019.
The 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion, if any, would be settled in cash up to the principal amount at maturity of the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes and cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock, at the company’s election, for the remainder of the conversion value of the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes in excess of the principal amount at maturity and cash in lieu of any fractional shares, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the indenture that governs the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes.
6.25 Percent Notes due 2025

On June 8, 2020, the company completed the offering and sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the company’s 6.250 percent notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance of Regulation S under the Securities Act in a private placement, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 2025 Notes were issued pursuant to the company's indenture dated as of April 1, 1998, as supplemented. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2025 Notes were $295 million and were used to repay approximately $295 million of the outstanding $304 million balance under the company's senior secured revolving credit facility.

The 2025 Notes will mature on June 1, 2025 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.250 percent per annum. The company will pay interest on the Notes from June 8, 2020 semi-annually, in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2020. The 2025 Notes will constitute senior unsecured obligations of the company and will rank equally in right of payment with its existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and effectively junior to its existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the security therefor.

The 2025 Notes provide that, prior to June 1, 2022, the company may redeem, at its option, from time to time, the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100 percent of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) the applicable premium as of the redemption date on the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date) on the 2025 Notes to be redeemed. For purposes of such calculation, the “applicable premium” means, with respect to a 2025 Note at any redemption date, the greater of (i) 1.0 percent of the principal amount of such Note and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (1) 103.125 percent of the principal amount of such 2025 Note plus (2) all remaining required interest payments due on such 2025 Note through June 1, 2022 (excluding accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) 100 percent of the principal amount of such 2025 Note.

The 2025 Notes provide that, on or after June 1, 2022, the company may redeem, at its option, from time to time, the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date) on the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 1 of the years indicated below:

YearRedemption Price
2022103.125 %
2023101.563 %
2024 and thereafter100.000 %

The 2025 Notes provide that, prior to June 1, 2022, the company may redeem, at its option, from time to time, up to 35 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more public sales of the company’s common stock at a redemption price equal to 106.25 percent of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date) on

the 2025 Notes to be redeemed so long as at least 65 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remains outstanding after each such redemption and notice of any such redemption is mailed within 90 days of any such sale of common stock.

If a Change of Control (as defined in the eight supplemental indenture under which the 2025 Notes were issued) occurs, unless the company has exercised its right to redeem the 2025 Notes, each holder of 2025 Notes may require the company to repurchase some or all of such holder’s 2025 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the payment date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the payment date) on the 2025 Notes to be repurchased.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 7, 2019, the company amended and restated its revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the revolving credit agreement as amended, the company has a $625 million revolving credit facility and a $175 million term loan facility, which was utilized for the company's acquisition of AxleTech, that mature in June 2024 (with a springing maturity in November 2023 if the outstanding amount of the 6.25 percent notes due 2024 is greater than $75 million at that time). The availability under the revolving credit facility is dependent upon various factors, including performance against certain financial covenants as highlighted below.
The availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants based on the ratio of the company’s priority debt (consisting principally of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, the U.S. accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs, and third-party non-working capital foreign debt) to EBITDA. The company is required to maintain a total priority debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the revolving credit agreement, of 2.25 to 1.00 or less as of the last day of each fiscal quarter throughout the term of the agreement.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to interest based on quoted LIBOR rates plus a margin and a commitment fee on undrawn amounts, both of which are based upon either the company’s current corporate credit rating or its total leverage ratio, as defined in the revolving credit agreement. At March 31,June 30, 2020, the margin over LIBOR rate was 200 basis points and the commitment fee was 30 basis points. Overnight revolving credit loans are at the prime rate plus a margin of 100 basis points.
Certain of the company’s subsidiaries, as defined in the revolving credit agreement, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Similar subsidiary guarantees are provided for the benefit of the holders of the publicly held notes outstanding under the company’s indentures (see Note 23)Liquidity under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations).
At March 31,June 30, 2020 there were $304 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Atand September 30, 2019, there were 0 borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The amended and extended revolving credit facility includes $100 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. At March 31,June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, there were 0 letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Other
One of the company's consolidated joint ventures in China participates in a bills of exchange program to settle its obligations with its trade suppliers. These programs are common in China and generally require the participation of local banks. Under these programs, the company's joint venture issues notes payable through the participating banks to its trade suppliers. If the issued notes payable remain unpaid on their respective due dates, this could constitute an event of default under the company’s revolving credit facility if the defaulted amount exceeds $35 million per bank. As of March 31,June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the company had $17$21 million and $30 million, respectively, outstanding under this program at more than one bank.

Fair Value
FASB guidance provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
 
Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related instrument.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the valuation. The company's assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

No transfers of assets between any of the Levels occurred during the three and sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Cash and cash equivalents — All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
 Short- and long-term debt — Fair values are based on transaction prices at public exchange for publicly traded debt. For debt instruments that are not publicly traded, fair values are based on interest rates that would be currently available to the company for issuance of similar types of debt instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Foreign exchange forward contracts — The company uses foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts with terms of 18 months or less to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As of March 31,June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the notional amount of the company's foreign exchange contracts outstanding under its foreign currency cash flow hedging program was $69$38 million and $110 million, respectively. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is based on a 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. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the statement of shareholders’ equity and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings.
Foreign currency option contracts — The company uses option contracts to mitigate foreign exchange exposure on expected future foreign currency-denominated purchases. As of March 31,June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the notional amount of the company's foreign exchange contracts outstanding was $68$70 million and $139 million, respectively. The company did not elect hedge accounting for these derivatives. Changes in fair value associated with these contracts are recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The company uses option contracts to mitigate the risk of volatility in the translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. dollars. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, there were no0 option contracts outstanding. As of September 30, 2019, the notional amount of the company's option contracts outstanding was $28 million. These option contracts did not qualify for a hedge accounting election. Changes in fair value associated with these contracts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in other income, net.
The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on third-party proprietary models, which incorporate inputs at varying unobservable weights of quoted spot rates, market volatility, forward rates and time utilizing market instruments with similar quality and maturity characteristics.
Cross-currency swap contracts — The company uses cross-currency swap contracts to hedge a portion of its net investment in a foreign subsidiary against volatility in foreign exchange rates. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations using the spot method to assess effectiveness. Changes in fair values of the instruments are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the

20. Contingencies
Environmental
 Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities affecting the environment have, and will continue to have, an impact on the operations of the company. The process of estimating environmental liabilities is complex and dependent upon evolving physical and scientific data at the sites, uncertainties as to remedies and technologies to be used and the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies. The company records liabilities for environmental issues in the accounting period in which they are considered to be probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identified, the company records a liability for its allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site, as well as an allocable share of costs related to insolvent parties or unidentified shares. At environmental sites in which Meritor is the only potentially responsible

party, the company records a liability for the total probable and estimable costs of remediation before consideration of recovery from insurers or other third parties.
The company has been designated as a potentially responsible party at 10 Superfund sites, excluding sites as to which the company’s records disclose no involvement or as to which the company’s liability has been finally determined. Superfund is a United States federal government program designed to fund the cleanup of sites contaminated with hazardous substances and pollutants. Management estimates the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur for the remediation of the 10 Superfund sites at March 31,June 30, 2020 to be approximately $23$25 million, of which $9$12 million is probable and recorded as a liability. Included in reasonably possible amounts are estimates for certain remediation actions that may be required if current actions are deemed inadequate by the regulators.
In addition to the Superfund sites, various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been asserted against the company, alleging violations of federal, state and local environmental protection requirements, or seeking remediation of alleged environmental impairments, principally at previously disposed-of properties. For these matters, management has estimated the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur at March 31,June 30, 2020 to be approximately $13$14 million, of which $4 million is probable and recorded as a liability.
Included in the company’s environmental liabilities are costs for on-going operation, maintenance and monitoring at environmental sites in which remediation has been put into place. This liability is discounted using discount rates in the range of 1.50 to 2.25 percent and is approximately $13$14 million at March 31,June 30, 2020. The undiscounted estimate of these costs is approximately $15 million.
The following are the components of the Superfund and non-Superfund environmental reserves (in millions):

Environmental reserves are included in Other Current Liabilities (see Note 15) and Other Liabilities (see Note 16) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The actual amount of costs or damages for which the company may be held responsible could materially exceed the foregoing estimates because of uncertainties, including the financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, the success of the remediation, discovery of new contamination and other factors that make it difficult to predict actual costs accurately. However, based on management’s assessment, after consulting with outside advisors that specialize in environmental matters, and subject to the difficulties inherent in estimating these future costs, the company believes that its expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection and other expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims will not have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, in future periods, new laws and regulations, changes in remediation plans, advances in technology and additional information about the ultimate clean-up remedies could significantly change the company’s estimates. Management cannot assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements.

In April 2016, the company was served with several complaints filed against the company and other defendants in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. The complaints were amended in July 2016. These complaints allege damages, including diminution of property value, concealment/fraud and emotional distress resulting from alleged environmental pollution in and around a neighborhood in Grenada, Mississippi. Rockwell owned and operated a facility near the neighborhood from 1965 to 1985. The company filed answers to the complaints in July 2016. In May 2017, the company was served with a complaint filed against the company and other defendants by the Mississippi Attorney General in the Chancery Court of Grenada County, Mississippi. The complaint alleges that operations at the above-referenced Grenada facility caused contamination of off-site groundwater and surface waters. Subsequently, the company removed this action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. However, plaintiffs’ motion to remand the case to the Chancery Court was granted in March 2018. In April, May and July 2018, the company was served with additional property damage, personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits naming the company and others as defendants, which were brought by current and former residents of the same neighborhood. The company entered into settlement negotiations with plaintiffs and recorded an accrual in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.
Asbestos
     Maremont Corporation ("Maremont"), a subsidiary of Meritor, manufactured friction products containing asbestos from 1953 through 1977, when it sold its friction product business. Arvin Industries, Inc., a predecessor of the company, acquired Maremont in 1986.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, Maremont and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Maremont Exhaust Products, Inc., AVM, Inc., and Former Ride Control Operating Company, Inc., began to solicit votes from asbestos claimants in favor of a Joint Pre-Packaged Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"). On January 18, 2019, the Plan was approved by voting asbestos claimants and, on January 22, 2019, Maremont and its subsidiaries voluntarily filed cases under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking to implement the Plan through the Chapter 11 cases. Among other things, the Plan was intended to permanently resolve all current and future asbestos claims related to Maremont's historical asbestos-related activities through the creation of a trust pursuant to Section 524(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "524(g) Trust"). Meritor determined that the net amount of $51 million Maremont would be required to contribute to the 524(g) Trust according to the Plan represented Meritor's best estimate of Maremont's net asbestos liability. As a result, Meritor recognized $31 million of income related to remeasuring the Maremont net asbestos liability based on the terms of the Plan.
As of January 22, 2019, Maremont and its subsidiaries were deconsolidated from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the results of Maremont's operations were eliminated from the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as Maremont became subject to the control of a court. Deconsolidation had an insignificant impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on May 17, 2019 and approved by the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on June 27, 2019. On July 9, 2019, the company contributed cash and repaid a loan to Maremont and Maremont funded the 524(g) Trust with such cash and its other assets, including its existing insurance policies. As a result, all current and future asbestos claims related to Maremont’s historical asbestos-related activities have been channeled to the 524(g) Trust, which will process and satisfy all such claims going forward pursuant to its resolution and payment procedures.
    Rockwell International Corporation ("Rockwell") — ArvinMeritor, Inc. ("AM"), a predecessor of Meritor, along with many other companies, has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos used in certain components of Rockwell products many years ago. Liability for these claims was transferred at the time of the spin-off of the automotive business from Rockwell in 1997. There were approximately 1,400 pending active asbestos claims in lawsuits that name AM, together with many other companies, as defendants at March 31,June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.
A significant portion of the claims do not identify any Rockwell products or specify which of the claimants, if any, were exposed to asbestos attributable to Rockwell products, and past experience has shown that the vast majority of the claimants will likely never identify any of Rockwell products. Historically, AM has been dismissed from the vast majority of similar claims filed in the past with no payment to claimants. For those claimants who do show that they worked with Rockwell products, management nevertheless believes it has meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to the integrity of the products involved and the lack of any impairing medical condition on the part of many claimants.

Pending and Future Claims: The company engaged a third-party advisor with extensive experience in assessing asbestos-related liabilities to conduct a study to estimate its potential undiscounted liability for pending and future asbestos-related

claims as of September 30, 2019. Management continuously monitors the underlying claims data and experience for the purpose of assessing the appropriateness of the assumptions used to estimate the liability.

MERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



As of September 30, 2019, the estimated probable range of equally likely possibilities of the company’s obligation for asbestos-related claims over the next 40 years iswas $91 million to $181 million. Based on the information contained in the actuarial study, and all other available information considered, management concluded that no amount within the range of potential liability was more likely than any other and, therefore, recorded a liability at the low end of the range. The company recognized a liability for pending and future claims over the next 40 years of $87$86 million as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and $91 million as of September 30, 2019.

Recoveries: AM has insurance coverage that management believes covers indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insurance retentions, for a significant portion of these claims. The insurance receivables for Rockwell asbestos-related liabilities totaled $60$59 million and $61 million as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

The amounts recorded for the asbestos-related reserves and recoveries from insurance companies are based upon assumptions and estimates derived from currently known facts. All such estimates of liabilities and recoveries for asbestos-related claims are subject to considerable uncertainty because such liabilities and recoveries are influenced by variables that are difficult to predict. The future litigation environment for Rockwell could change significantly from its past experience, due, for example, to changes in the mix of claims filed against Rockwell in terms of plaintiffs’ law firm, jurisdiction and disease; legislative or regulatory developments; the company’s approach to defending claims; or payments to plaintiffs from other defendants. Estimated recoveries are influenced by coverage issues among insurers and the continuing solvency of various insurance companies. If the assumptions with respect to the estimation period, the nature of pending claims, the cost to resolve claims and the amount of available insurance prove to be incorrect, the actual amount of liability for Rockwell asbestos-related claims, and the effect on the company, could differ materially from current estimates and, therefore, could have a material impact on the company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Indemnification
The company has provided indemnities in conjunction with certain transactions, primarily divestitures. These indemnities address a variety of matters, which may include environmental, tax, asbestos and employment-related matters, and the periods of indemnification vary in duration.
The company is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnification obligations.
Other
In addition, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings, other than those specifically disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, have been or may be instituted or asserted against the company, relating to the conduct of the company’s business, including those pertaining to product liability, warranty or recall claims, intellectual property, safety and health, contract and employment matters. Although the outcome of other litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the company, management believes the disposition of matters that are pending will not have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 
21. Shareholders' Equity
There were 0 dividends declared or paid in the first, second or secondthird quarter of fiscal years 2020 and 2019. The payment of cash dividends and the amount of any dividend are subject to review and change at the discretion of the company's Board of Directors.
Common Stock and Debt Repurchase Authorizations
On November 7, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $325 million of the company's common stock, which was an increase from the prior $250 million authorization approved on July 26, 2019. Repurchases can be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the company’s debt covenants. During fiscal year 2019, the company repurchased 1.3 million shares of common stock for $25 million (including commission costs) pursuant to this common stock repurchase authorization. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the company repurchased 4.9 million shares of common stock for $100

22. Business Segment Information
The company defines its operating segments as components of its business where separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the company realigned its operations resulting in a change to its operating and reportable segments. As of the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the reportable segments are (1) Commercial Truck and (2) Aftermarket and Industrial. Prior year reportable segment financial results have been recast for these changes.
The company has 2 reportable segments at March 31,June 30, 2020, as follows:
The Commercial Truck segment supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines and braking and suspension systems, primarily for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and other applications in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. This segment also includes the company's
The Commercial Truck segment supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines and braking and suspension systems, primarily for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and other applications in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. It also supplies a variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications in North America. This segment includes our aftermarket businesses in Asia Pacific and South America.
The Aftermarket, Industrial and Trailer segment supplies axles, brakes, drivelines, suspension parts and other replacement parts to commercial vehicle and industrial aftermarket customers, primarily in North America and Europe. In addition, this segment supplies drivetrain systems and certain components, including axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems for military, construction, bus and coach, fire and emergency and other applications in North America and Europe. It also supplies a variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications in North America.

The Aftermarket and Industrial segment supplies axles, brakes, drivelines, suspension parts and other replacement parts to commercial vehicle and industrial aftermarket customers, primarily in North America and Europe. In addition, this segment supplies drivetrain systems and certain components, including axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems for military, construction, bus and coach, fire and emergency and other applications in North America and Europe.
Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expense, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated legacy and corporate income (expense), net. The company uses segment adjusted EBITDA as the primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of its reportable segments.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those applied in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the use of segment adjusted EBITDA. The company may allocate certain common costs, primarily corporate functions, between the segments differently than the company would for stand alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These allocated costs include expenses for shared services such as information technology, finance, communications, legal and human resources. The company does not allocate interest expense and certain legacy and other corporate costs not directly associated with the segment.

23. Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X requires that separate financial information for issuers and guarantors of registered securities be filed in certain circumstances. Certain of the company's 100-percent-owned subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement (the "Guarantors"), irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility on a joint and several basis. Similar subsidiary guarantees were provided for the benefit of the holders of the notes outstanding under the company's indentures (see Note 17).
In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for Meritor, Inc. (the "Parent") and Guarantors, the company has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements as permitted by Regulation S-X Rules 3-10. These condensed consolidating financial statements are presented on the equity method. Under this method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Parent's share of the subsidiary's cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distribution and other equity changes. The Guarantors are combined in the condensed consolidating financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
Meritor, Inc. (the "company," "our," "we" or "Meritor"), headquartered in Troy, Michigan, is a premier global supplier of a broad range of integrated systems, modules and components to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and the aftermarket for the commercial vehicle, transportation and industrial sectors. The company serves commercial truck, trailer, military, bus and coach, construction, and other industrial OEMs and certain aftermarkets. Meritor common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MTOR.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared a global health pandemic related to the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected our financial performance in the second quarterand third quarters of fiscal year 2020 and will continue to have an adverse impact for at least the remainder of fiscal year 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, government health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including shelter-in-place orders, prohibitions on public gatherings and other similar measures. As a result, we and certain of our customers and suppliers have temporarily closed select manufacturing locations beginning late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, continuing into the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. OurAs of May 31, 2020, all of our global facilities were operating limited production. Most of our salaried employees are working remotely until further notice. There is uncertainty around the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact it will have on our operations, supply chain and demand for our products. As a result, the ultimate impact on our business, financial condition or operating results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Employee Health and Safety

We have established and began execution ofexecuted a “Safe Start” plan for the reopening of plants, in addition to test labs, distribution centers and administrative facilities. We willintend to operate under these enhanced safety guidelines for the foreseeable future. To ensure consistent application and compliance with these safety protocols, we have expanded the role of our Vice President and General Auditor to include responsibilities as Chief Safety Compliance Officer.
Operations

We are complying with shelter-in-place and similar government orders in various locations around the world, as applicable. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic led to suspended production in most of our global commercial truck manufacturing facilities beginning late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 and continuing into the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. A majorityAll of our operations in North America and Europe are now running limited production, with expectations that facilities in India and South America will restart in early May.production. Our operations in China were temporarily suspended in mid-January and resumed production in mid-February and are now fully operational.

  However, asAs we also serve the transportation, industrial and defense industries, we will continuealso continued to help support customers who are actively engaged in the COVID-19 pandemic response. Our Aftermarket business remained fully operational to maintain the supply of critical replacement parts to the vital truck and trailer transportation network. Our Industrial businesses also remained operational throughout March and April at varying levels to support the production of vehicles deemed critical, including defense, bus and coach, terminal tractor, fire and rescue and off-highway applications. We will continue to monitor government and other mandates to understand the potential impact on our operations in other areas.

Cost Reductions

We haveIn March 2020, we implemented a series of cost reduction measures to preserve our financial flexibility, including a reduction to the base salary of each of our executive officers and salaried employees in the United States and Canada of between 40 percent and 60 percent effective April 1 through April 30, 2020, and a reduction between 20 percent and 60 percent effective May 1, 2020 through June 15, 2020 and a reduction between 10 percent and 20 percent effective June 16, 2020. Additionally, weWe also suspended certain employer-paid retirement and pension contributions and modified certain retiree health benefits effective May 1, 2020. Additionally, on June 2, 2020, we approved a restructuring plan to reduce headcount globally that affects approximately eight-percent of our global salaried positions, as well as eliminated certain hourly roles. This restructuring plan is intended to reduce labor costs in response to an anticipated decline in most global truck and trailer market volumes. With this restructuring plan, we expect to incur approximately $25 million in employee severance costs across both of our reportable segments. Restructuring actions associated with this plan are expected to be substantially complete by the end of first quarter of fiscal year 2021. We will continue to evaluate further cost reduction measures as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic becomes clearer. We lowered

Awards under the special incentive plan are also designed to give employees an opportunity, if certain performance targets are met, to recoup lost salary stemming from the base pay reductions instituted by us in response to the pandemic, which are expected to remain partially reduced through at least the end of fiscal year 2020. The special incentive plan targets are based on liquidity and cost reduction targets.

Our sales for the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2020 were $871$514 million, compared to $1,166 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 56 percent year over year. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower market volumes driven by decreased customer demand and government mandates as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of the company's manufacturing facilities were idled during the month of April with production increasing throughout the remainder of the quarter.

MERITOR, INC.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we have provided information regarding non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are defined as reported income (loss) from continuing operations and reported diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations before restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges, non-cash tax expense related to the use of deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with net operating loss carry forwards or tax credits, and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated sales from continuing operations. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expense, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated legacy and corporate expense (income), net. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as segment adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated sales from continuing operations, either in the aggregate or by segment as applicable. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures.

MERITOR, INC.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the company's financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are meaningful measures of performance to investors as they are commonly utilized to analyze financial performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance between periods and measure our performance against externally communicated targets.
Free cash flow is used by investors and management to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to shareholders. Free cash flow over adjusted income from continuing operations is a specific financial measure of our M2022 plan used to measure the company's ability to convert earnings to free cash flow.
Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting purposes, and segment adjusted EBITDA is also used as the primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments.
Our Board of Directors uses adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and free cash flow over adjusted income from continuing operations as key metrics to determine management’s performance under our performance-based compensation plans.

Commercial Truck sales were $588$336 million in the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2020, down 3364 percent compared to the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2019. The decrease in sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 was primarily due to lower volumes driven primarily by decreased market volumes for most regions across the segment, including changes in customer demand and the impact of government mandates as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of the company’s production facilities were idled during the month of April with production increasing throughout the remainder of the quarter.

Aftermarket and Industrial and Trailersales were $319$203 million in the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2020, down 328 percent compared to the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2019. LowerWhile Aftermarket facilities were not idled during the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, sales were primarily driven by decreased volumes across the segment, includinglower in comparison with fiscal year 2019 due to changes in customer demand and the impact from the termination of government mandatesthe WABCO distribution arrangement. Industrial sales were also down, driven primarily by decreased volumes as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the revenue generated from ourthe AxleTech business.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $757$486 million compared to $982$987 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of 2351 percent, primarily driven by decreased market volumes. Total cost of sales was 86.994.6 and 84.984.6 percent of sales for the three-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Material costs represent the majority of our cost of sales and include raw materials, composed primarily of steel, and purchased components. Material costs for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 decreased $204$439 million compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to significantly lower volumes. The majority of the company’s manufacturing facilities were idled during the month of April 2020 with production increasing throughout the remainder of the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Labor and overhead costs decreased by $67 million compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower volumes, year-over-year steel pricesvolumes. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, we also executed certain actions in order to decrease the impacts of the significantly lower production levels. These actions included hourly employee layoffs and layered capacity costs.
Labor and overheadother discretionary spend reductions. Incentive compensation costs decreased by $23 millionwere also lower compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower volumes.year.
Gross profit was $114$28 million and $174$179 million for the three-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other Income Statement Items
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $59$52 million and $73 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily driven by lower incentive compensation of $15 million, partially offset by additional costs generated from our AxleTech business, which was acquired inDuring the fourththird quarter of fiscal year 2019.2020, we executed certain actions in order to decrease the impacts of the significantly lower production levels. These actions included temporary salary reductions, employee headcount reductions, and other discretionary spend reductions. Incentive compensation costs were also lower compared to the prior year.
ProvisionBenefit for income taxes was $73$13 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 compared to $27a provision for income taxes of $21 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increasedecrease in tax expense is primarily related to the tax effect of the proceeds received from the termination of the WABCO distribution arrangement, partially offset by a decrease in earningslosses in certain jurisdictions that do not have a tax valuation allowance.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales primarily represents materials, labor and overhead production costs associated with the company’s products and production facilities. Cost of sales for the sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $1,531$2,017 million compared to $1,879$2,866 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of 1930 percent, primarily driven by decreased market volumes. Total cost of sales was 86.488.2 and 85.685.3 percent of sales for the six-monthnine-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Material costs represent the majority of our cost of sales and include raw materials, composed primarily of steel, and purchased components. Material costs for the sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 decreased $310$749 million compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to significantly lower volumes. The third quarter of fiscal year 2020 was significantly impacted by the idling of production facilities. The majority of the company’s manufacturing facilities were idled during the month of April 2020 with production increasing throughout the remainder of the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Labor and overhead costs decreased by $110 million compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower volumes, year-over-year steel pricesvolumes. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, we executed certain actions in order to decrease the impacts of the significantly lower production levels. These actions included hourly employee layoffs and layered capacity costs.
Labor and overheadother discretionary spend reductions. Incentive compensation costs decreased by $43 millionwere also lower compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower volumes.year.
Gross profit was $241$269 million and $315$494 million for the six-monthnine-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 13.611.8 and 14.414.7 percent for the six-monthnine-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased as lower sales more than offset the lower material, primarily steel, labor and burden and freightoverhead costs.
Other Income Statement Items
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $129$181 million and $107$180 million, respectively.
We recognized $31 million of income related to remeasuring the Maremont asbestos liability based on the terms of the plan of reorganization in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 (see Note 20 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report). Excluding Maremont, SG&A decreasedwas lower primarily due to lower incentive compensation costscertain actions executed in the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2020 in order to decrease the impacts of the significantly lower production levels. These actions included temporary salary reductions, employee headcount reductions, and other discretionary spend reductions. Incentive compensation costs were also lower compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by additional costs generated from our AxleTech business, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, as well as higher electrification costs.

MERITOR, INC.
Provision for income taxes was $86$73 million in the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2020 compared to $48$69 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in tax expense is primarily related to the tax effect ofon the proceeds received from the termination of the WABCO distribution arrangement, partiallylargely offset by a decrease inlower earnings in certain jurisdictions that do not have a tax valuation allowance.

Overview – Our principal operating and capital requirements are for working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements, funding of pension and retiree medical costs and restructuring and product development programs. We expect fiscal year 2020 capital expenditures for our business segments to be approximately $85 million.
We generally fund our operating and capital needs with cash on hand, cash flows from operations, our various accounts receivable securitization and factoring arrangements and availability under our revolving credit facility. Cash in excess of local operating needs is generally used to reduce amounts outstanding, if any, under our revolving credit facility or U.S. accounts receivable securitization program. Our ability to access additional capital in the long term will depend on availability of capital markets and pricing on commercially reasonable terms, as well as our credit profile at the time we are seeking funds. We continuously evaluate our capital structure to ensure the most appropriate and optimal structure and may, from time to time, retire, repurchase, exchange or redeem outstanding indebtedness or common equity, issue new equity or debt securities or enter into new lending arrangements if conditions warrant.
In December 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), registering an indeterminate amount of debt and/or equity securities that we may offer in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale. 
We believe our current financing arrangements provide us with the financial flexibility required to maintain our operations underduring the uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic and fund future growth, including actions required to improve our

Cash and Liquidity Needs – At March 31,June 30, 2020, we had $508$280 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $24$13 million was held in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. that, if repatriated, could result in withholding taxes. We plan to repatriate substantially allapproximately $10 million of this cash. An immaterial deferred tax liability for the relatedcash, of which no withholding taxes has been recorded on the cash that we expectare expected to repatriate.be owed. In addition, we plan to utilize ongoing cash flow from domestic operations and external borrowings, to meet our liquidity needs in the U.S.
Our availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a priority debt-to-EBITDA ratio covenant, as defined in the credit agreement, which may limit our borrowings under such agreement as of each quarter end. As long as we are in compliance with this covenant as of the quarter end, we have full availability under the revolving credit facility every other day during the quarter. Our future liquidity is subject to a number of factors, including access to adequate funding under our revolving credit facility, access to other borrowing arrangements such as factoring or securitization facilities, vehicle production schedules and customer demand. Even taking into account these and other factors, management expects to have sufficient liquidity to fund our operating requirements through the term of our revolving credit facility. At March 31,June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the priority debt to EBITDA ratio covenant with a ratio of approximately 0.90x,0.36x, which includes the income recognized related to the termination of the WABCO distribution arrangement.
Equity Repurchase Authorization – On November 7, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $325 million of the company's common stock, which was an increase from the prior $250 million authorization approved on July 26, 2019.

Debt Repurchase Authorization – On November 2, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million aggregate principal amount of any of our debt securities (including convertible debt securities) from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our debt covenants. The amount remaining available for repurchases under this repurchase authorization was $76 million as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.
Revolving Credit Facility – The revolving credit facility is discussed in Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Issuance of 2025 Notes – On June 8, 2020, we completed the offering and sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the company’s 2025 Notes to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulations S under the Securities Act, in a private placement, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 2025 Notes are discussed in Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Other – Refer to Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Credit Ratings – At April 28,July 27, 2020, our Standard & Poor’s corporate credit rating and senior unsecured credit rating were BB and BB-, respectively, respectively, and our Moody’s Investors Service corporate credit rating and senior unsecured credit rating were Ba3 and B1, respectively. Any lowering of our credit ratings could increase our cost of future borrowings and could reduce our access to capital markets and result in lower trading prices for our securities.
Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt Certain of the company's 100% owned subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement (collectively, the "Guarantors") irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility on a joint and several basis. Similar subsidiary guarantees are provided for the benefit of the holders of the notes outstanding under the company's indentures. The notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the company’s subsidiaries from time to time guaranteeing its senior secured credit facility, as it may be amended, extended, replaced or refinanced, or any subsequent credit facility. The guarantees remain in effect until the earlier to occur of payment in full of the notes or termination or release of the applicable corresponding guarantee under the company’s senior secured credit facility, as it may be amended, extended, replaced or refinanced, or any subsequent credit facility. The guarantees rank equally with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantors and are effectively subordinated to all of the existing and future secured indebtedness of the Guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

The following represents summarized financial information, in millions, of Meritor Inc (“Parent”) and the Guarantors (collectively, “the Combined Entities”). The information has been prepared on a combined basis and excludes any investments of the Parent or Guarantors in non-guarantor subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and amounts between the Combined Entities have been eliminated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Accounts Receivable Factoring Arrangements – We participate in accounts receivable factoring programs with a total amount utilized at March 31,June 30, 2020 of $244$126 million, of which $195$99 million was attributable to committed factoring facilities involving the sale of AB Volvo accounts receivables. The remaining amount of $49$27 million was related to factoring by certain of our European subsidiaries under uncommitted factoring facilities with financial institutions. The receivables under all of these programs are sold at face value and are excluded from the consolidated balance sheet. Total facility size, utilized amounts, readily available amounts and expiration dates for each of these programs are shown in the table above under Liquidity.
The Swedish facility is backed by a 364-day liquidity commitment from Nordea Bank, which was renewed through June 22, 2020.2021. Commitments under all of our factoring facilities are subject to standard terms and conditions for these types of arrangements (including, in the case of the U.K. and Italy commitments, a sole discretion clause whereby the bank retains the right to not purchase receivables, which has not been invoked since the inception of the respective programs).
Letter of Credit Facilities – On February 21, 2014, we entered into an arrangement to amend and restate the letter of credit facility with Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent and issuing bank, and the other lenders party thereto. Under the terms of this amended credit agreement, which expired in March 2019, we had the right to obtain the issuance, renewal, extension and increase of letters of credit up to an aggregate availability of $25 million. This facility contained covenants and events of default generally similar to those existing in our public debt indentures. On March 20, 2019, we allowed this facility to expire. The letters of credit previously provided under this facility were replaced with letters of credit issued under our U.S. accounts receivable securitization facility with PNC Bank. There were $8 million of letters of credit outstanding through other letter of credit facilities as of both March 31,June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those described in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 (the "2019 Form 10-K"). Our critical accounting estimates are consistent with those described in Item 7 of our 2019 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements are discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain global market risks, including foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk associated with our debt.

MERITOR, INC.

As a result of our substantial international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from our normal business operations, including in connection with our transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, we translate sales and financial results denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for purposes of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies generally will have a negative impact on our reported revenues and operating income while depreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies will generally have a positive effect on reported revenues and operating income.
We use foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the earnings exposures arising from foreign currency exchange risk on foreign currency purchases and sales. Gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposures are partially offset with gains and losses on the foreign currency forward contracts. Under this cash flow hedging program, we designate the foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of underlying foreign currency forecasted purchases and sales. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. These contracts generally mature within 18 months.
We use cross-currency swap contracts to hedge a portion of our net investment in a foreign subsidiary against volatility in foreign exchange rates. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Settlements and changes in fair values of the instruments are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, we entered into multiple cross-currency swap contracts with a combined notional amount of $225 million and maturities in October 2022. These swaps hedged a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against volatility in the euro/U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, we settled these cross-currency swap contracts and received proceeds of $11 million, $1 million of which related to net accrued interest receivable.
Interest rate risk relates to the gain/increase or loss/decrease we could incur in our debt balances and interest expense associated with changes in interest rates. To manage this risk, we enter into interest rate swaps from time to time to economically convert portions of our fixed-rate debt into floating rate exposure, ensuring that the sensitivity of the economic value of debt falls within our corporate risk tolerances. It is our policy not to enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes, and therefore, we hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Included below is a sensitivity analysis to measure the potential gain (loss) in the fair value of financial instruments with exposure to market risk (in millions). The model assumes a 10% hypothetical change (increase or decrease) in exchange rates and instantaneous, parallel shifts of 50 basis points in interest rates.

(2)At March 31,June 30, 2020, the fair value of outstanding foreign currency denominated debt was $4$3.8 million. A 10% decrease in quoted currency exchange rates would result in a decrease of $0.4 million in foreign currency denominated debt. At March 31,June 30, 2020, a 10% increase in quoted currency exchange rates would result in an increase of $0.4 million in foreign currency denominated debt.

MERITOR, INC.


(3)At March 31,June 30, 2020, the fair value of outstanding debt was $1,323$1,291 million. A 50 basis points decrease in quoted interest rates would result in an increase of $26.8$36.4 million in the fair value of fixed rate debt. A 50 basis points increase in quoted interest rates would result in a decrease of $25.2$34.5 million in the fair value of fixed rate debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31,June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
In connection with the rule, the company continues to review and document its disclosure controls and procedures, including the company’s internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and ensuring that the company’s systems evolve with the business.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Except as set forth in Note 20 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material developments in legal proceedings involving the company or its subsidiaries since those reported in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in risk factors involving the company or its subsidiaries from those previously disclosed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 other than the addition of the following risk factor regarding the recent coronavirus outbreak:

The recent coronavirus outbreak is having, and is expected to have, an adverse effect on our business.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared a global health pandemic related to the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect for at least the remainder of fiscal year 2020, public health, the global economy and financial markets, as well as our industry, operations, workforce, supply chains and distribution systems.  We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, unpredictable reductions in demand for certain of our products, as well as restrictions on our ability to operate. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, government health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including shelter-in-place orders, prohibitions on public gatherings and other similar measures. As a result, we and certain of our customers and suppliers have temporarily closed select manufacturing locations over the past several months. It is currently unclear how long these closures will be required, or if further closures may be necessary in the future. Our results will be adversely impacted by any such closures and other actions taken to contain the spread or mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  There is uncertainty around the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result the ultimate impact on our business, financial condition or operating results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The situation is rapidly evolving and additional impacts, including expenses related to subsequent commercial or employment related litigation, may arise that we are not aware of currently.

Additionally, the impacts described above and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and responses to it may substantially increase the risk to us from the other risks described in the company's AnnualQuarterly Report on Form 10-K10-Q for the fiscal yearquarter ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.
