Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings, Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. (the(“Affinia” or the “Company”), headquartered in Gastonia, North Carolina, is an innovative global leader in the design, manufacture, distribution and marketing of industrial grade filtration products and services and replacement products in South America. The Company’s broad range of filtration and other products are sold in North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. The Company’s brands include WIX®, FiltronTM®, Nakata® and ecoLAST®. Additionally, the Company provides private label products for certain customers, including NAPA®. The Company is wholly-owned by Affinia Group Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), a company controlled by affiliates of The Cypress Group, L.L.C. (“Cypress”). As discussed further in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operation—Chassis”Operation”, in the fourthsecond quarter of 2013,2015, management committed to a plan to sell its global chassis business (the “Chassis group”the Brazilian operations of the Affinia South America (“ASA”) to F-M Chassis, an affiliate of Federal-Mogul Corporation.segment. Accordingly, the results of the Chassis groupthese businesses have been included as a component of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The sale of the Chassis group was completed on May 1, 2014. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. In these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the termsterm the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” referrefers to Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information and notes required by GAAP in the U.S. for annual financial statements. Because the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes do not include all information and notes required by GAAP in the U.S. for annual financial statements, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other information included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.2014. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations. Amounts reported in the interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the respective annual periods. In preparing financial statements that conform to GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of the debt issuance costs in the financial statements by presenting the costs as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will be reported as interest expense. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of the new ASU would be a reclassification from deferred financing costs to long-term debt in the period of adoption, applied retrospectively. As of June 30, 2015 the deferred financing costs balance was $12 million. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this new ASU will have on its revenue recognition upon adoption.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The FASB issued the ASU to provide more decision-useful information and to make it more difficult for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. In addition, the ASU requires entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods in the statement of financial position, as well as significant changes to the presentation requirements within the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The adoptionSee Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operations” for the impact of this ASU could have a significant impact on the financial statement presentation associated with any disposal transactions that could occur once this ASU becomes effective.accounting pronouncement. Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, “Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes.” ASU 2013-10 allows the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be designated as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not anticipate the requirements of ASU 2013-10 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements because the Company currently has not entered into any new or redesignated hedging relationships that meet these requirements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of this standard has not had any impact on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU No. 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have any current impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has two operating segments, Filtration and Affinia South America (“ASA”), which are considered reportable segments under ASC 280 “Segment Reporting.” Operating segments are determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of ourthe Company’s businesses. Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on revenue growth and operating profit. Although not considered an operating segment, corporate, eliminations and other includes corporate costs, interest expense and other amounts not allocated to the operating segments. The Filtration segment is In the first quarter of 2015, the Company’s largest business unit, having contributed approximately 70%management changed the calculation of global revenues duringsegment earnings whereby certain corporate costs that were previously allocated to the threeoperating segments were no longer allocated. Accordingly, all of these previously allocated costs remained in corporate, eliminations and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our Filtrationother. Prior period segment results were recast to conform to current period presentation.
Filtration’s products fit medium and heavy duty trucks, light vehicles, equipment in the off-highway market (i.e. residential and non-residential construction, mining, forestry and agricultural) and equipment for industrial and marine applications. The Filtration segment’sFiltration’s products include oil, air, fuel, cabin air, coolant, hydraulic and other filters for many types of vehicles and machinery. The products are sold under well-known brands, such as WIX® and Filtron®, and private label brands including NAPA®. The ASA segment focuses on distributing and manufacturing brake, suspension, driveshaft and U-joint components, water and fuel pumps, filters, engine products, motorcycle products, accessories and other critical aftermarket components through its operations in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela. The majorityhistorical operations in Venezuela, which was closed in the second quarter of 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell the Brazilian operations within ASA, which is comprised of Automotiva and Pellegrino (“ASA Brazil”) and accordingly the results of that disposal group have been included as a component of discontinued operations and excluded from the tables below. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operation” for further information regarding ASA Brazil. Since ASA Brazil meets the criteria of assets held for sale under ASC Topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements,” (“ASC 205”), the results of operations have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Currently, the ASA segment consists of continuing operations in Argentina and Uruguay, as well as the results of the ASA segment’s revenue is generatedVenezuela operations prior to shut down in Brazil. In Brazil, ASA’s operations are conducted through Affinia Automotiva, an aftermarket parts manufacturer and master distributor, and Pellegrino, a warehouse distributor. Affinia Automotiva manufactures Nakata® brand shock absorbers and distributes those and third party products to warehouse distributors, including Pellegrino.the second quarter of 2014.

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATION—CHASSISOPERATIONS As described further below in the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell its Brazilian operations within ASA. In accordance with ASC 205 this portion of the ASA segment met the definition of a disposal group at the time management committed to a plan to sell and, accordingly, the results of operations have been classified as a component of discontinued operations for all periods presented as this disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a significant effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. On June 12, 2015, Affinia Canada ULC and Affinia Southern Holdings LLC (collectively, “Sellers”), wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) to sell their equity interests in each of Pellegrino Distribuidora de Autopecas Ltda. (“Pellegrino”) and Affinia Automotiva Ltda. (“Automotiva”). The purchasers under the Pellegrino Purchase Agreement are Distribuidora Automotiva S.A. and Car Central De Autopecas e Rolamentos Ltda. (the “Pellegrino Purchasers”) and the purchasers under the Automotiva Purchase Agreement are Auto Norte Distribuidora de Pecas Ltda., Cobra Rolamentos e Autopecas Ltda., Distribuidora Automotiva S.A., Jorge C. Schertel, Pedro Molina Quaresma and Sedim-Administracao e Participacoes Ltda. (the “Automotiva Purchasers”) The closing of each sale is contingent on the simultaneous closing of the other sale, unless waived by the Sellers, and the closing of each sale is contingent on customary closing conditions, including antitrust clearance under Brazilian law. The purchase price to Sellers for the sale of each of Pellegrino and Automotiva will be paid in Brazilian Reals. The Pellegrino purchase price is 215,000,000 Brazilian Reals and the purchase price for the sale of Automotiva is 146,285,000 Brazilian Reals (in each case, the “Base Purchase Price”), and, in each case, plus or minus an adjustment reflecting (i) an estimate of interim profits or losses, as applicable, of the Sellers related to the Pellegrino or Automotiva business, respectively, each calculated in accordance with a process established in the respective Purchase Agreement, and (ii) minus a percentage of certain claims that may arise after signing and before closing. After closing, the parties will determine a final purchase price reflecting the actual interim profits and losses and such claims, as well as other adjustments, calculated in accordance with a process established in the respective Purchase Agreement. This transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015. The gain on sale of ASA Brazil will be dependent on the exchange rate in effect at the date of closing, as well as the impact of the adjustments at closing described above. The proceeds from sale are required to be used to pay down the Company’s outstanding debt. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were not adjusted to reflect this operation as a discontinued operation for any period presented. The following table shows the net sales, cost of sales, gross profit, selling general and administrative expenses, operating profit, income before tax provision, income tax provision and net income that are included within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations associated with the ASA Brazil disposal group:

In the fourth quarter of 2013, management committed to a plan to sell the Chassis group. Pursuant to ASC Topic 205,“Presentation of Financial Statements,” the Chassis group met the definition of a disposal group at the time management committed to a plan to sell the group and, accordingly, the results of operations of the Chassis group have been classified as a component of discontinued operations. On January 21, 2014, Affinia entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Federal-Mogul Chassis LLC (formerly known as VCS Quest Acquisition LLC) (“FM Chassis”), an affiliate of Federal-Mogul Corporation, pursuant to which FM Chassis agreed to purchase the Chassis group. This transaction closed on May 1, 2014. The consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of cash flowsCash Flows were not adjusted to reflect this group as a discontinued operation for any period presented. Upon the closing of this transaction, in May 2014, Affinia received cash proceeds of $140 million, which represented the agreed upon selling price of $150 million less a holdback of consideration of $10 million until completion of certain post-closing performance obligations. In September 2014, the post-closing performance obligations were completed and the Company received $9 million of cash proceeds with the remaining $1 million allocated to a post-closing purchase price adjustment. There are no additional material obligations of either party associated with this transaction. The sale of the Chassis group resulted in a pre-tax gain of $32 million, of which $21 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 and $11 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2014. These amounts are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. The Company released an $18 million capital loss valuation allowance as a result of the sale, the tax benefit of which offset the tax expense incurred by the gain on the sale. This resulted in a tax expense of $6less than $1 million on the sale transaction.
The sale of the Chassis group resulted in a pre-tax gain of $21 million, excluding the $10 million holdback, which is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

The TSA provides for certain administrativeASA Brazil and other services and support to be provided by Affinia to FM Chassis and to be provided by FM Chassis to Affinia. Most of the transition services will expire during 2014 or 2015. The TSA was established as an arm’s length transaction and is intended for the contracting parties to recover costs of the services provided.

6. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING The Company’s financial derivative assets and liabilities consist of standard currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
All derivative instruments are recognized on our balance sheet at fair value. The fair value measurements of ourCompany uses foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps to manage foreign exchange and interest rate risks, respectively. The primary use of the foreign currency forward contracts is to hedge the risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with borrowings. The Company executes derivative contracts for risk management purposes and does not engage in any speculative or trading activity.
All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as assets or liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is determined using observable market data provided by recognized independent third-party financial information providers and is based upon Level 2 inputs consistingunder the fair value hierarchy within ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). There are no cash collateral requirements related to any of observable market data, as reported by a recognized independent third-party financial information provider. Based upon the Company’s periodic assessmentopen derivative instruments. Changes in the fair value of its own creditworthiness, and of the creditworthiness of the counterparties to its derivative instruments that qualify for and for which the Company has elected hedge accounting in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) are reflected as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) until the hedged transaction impacts earnings. Changes in the fair value measurementsof derivative agreements that either do not qualify for hedge accounting, have not been designated as hedges or for which the hedge has been de-designated are not adjusted for nonperformance risk. reflected in current earnings. Currency Forward Contract Derivatives OurThe Company operates globally and is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to certain non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany balances. To minimize the risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company has established a program that utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risk associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Gains or losses on the Company’s foreign currency exposure are intended to be mitigated by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have terms of six months or less and are entered into at the prevailing market exchange rate at the end of each month.
Prior to the third quarter of 2014, the Company did not formally designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts were recognized in current period earnings. Beginning in the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts for anticipated future transactions and these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. In accordance with ASC 815, the effective portion of these cash flow hedges are included as a component of AOCI until the underlying transaction impacts earnings. At the time the underlying transaction impacts earnings, the Company will de-designate the hedging instrument and reflect the change in fair value in current earnings to offset the remeasurement impact of the gross receivable or payable balance until the underlying transaction is settled. The Company’s currency forward contracts are valued using then-current spot and forward market data as provided by external financial institutions. We enterThe Company enters into currency forward contracts with banking institutions of only the highest tiered credit ratings and thus the counterparty credit risk associated with these contracts is not considered significant.
We enter into short-term currency forward contracts which are intendedInterest Rate Risk Management
The Company is exposed to offset the currency exchange gain (loss) related to the re-measurement process and are not designated as hedges of specific monetary asset balances subject to currency risks. Therefore, any changes in interest rates as a result of the fair valueissuance of these short-term currency forward contracts are recognizedvariable-rate and fixed-rate debt. Interest rate risk is managed by limiting variable-rate exposure and monitoring changes in earnings each accounting period. The aggregate notional amounts of outstanding short-term currency forward contracts were $43 million and $86 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded losses of less than $1 million and $1 million, respectively,interest rates. To manage risks associated with short-term currency forward contracts. Duringchanges in interest rates, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded gains of less than $1 million and losses of less than $1 million, respectively, associated with short-term currency forward contracts. Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of 2014, we entered into currency forward contracts which are intended to offset against foreign exchange risk for certain forecasted gross receivable and payable balances. These currency forward contracts are considered highly effective based on critical terms matching and the result ofde minimis testing. Therefore, the gains or losses of these hedges are deferred as a component of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)” (“AOCI”) and reclassified into net income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects net income. The aggregate notional amounts of outstanding currency forward contracts were $38 million as of September 30, 2014. There were no gains or losses recorded for these currency forward contracts in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
The Company’s outstanding currency forward contracts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either “Other current assets” or “Other accrued expenses,” depending on whether the contracts are in asset or liability positions at the end of each reporting period. Currency forward contract gains and losses are recognized in “Other income and expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the reporting period of occurrence.
Interest Rate Derivatives
On April 25, 2013, we enteredCompany enters into interest rate swaps having an aggregate notional value of $300 million to effectively fix the interest rate of interest on a portion of our Term Loan B-2 until April 25, 2020.variable-rate debt. The Company fundsdesignates its business operations with a combination of fixed and floating-rate debt. Therefore, our reported results from operations may be adversely impacted by rising interest rates. The Company’s interest rate risk policy seeks to minimize the long-term cost of debt, subject to a limitation of the maximum percentage of net floating-rate debt versus total debt outstanding.
While our policy does not require that we maintain a specific ratio of net floating-rate debt as a proportion of total debt outstanding, we use interest rate swaps to manage the ratio of net floating-rate debt to total debt outstanding within our policy target range, thereby reducing the potential impact that interest rate variability may have on our consolidated financial results. Our policy strictly prohibits the use of interest rate derivatives to generate trading profits or to otherwise speculate on interest rate movements.
We have designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges as described in ASC 815, “Derivatives and, Hedging”. At the inception of the hedge, the Company formally documents its hedge relationships and risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the documentation identifies the interest rate swaps as a hedge of specific interest payments on variable rate debt, with the objective to perfectly offset the variability of interest expense as related to specific floating-rate debt. We also specify that the effectiveness of the interest rate swaps in mitigating interest expense variability shall be assessed using the “Hypothetical Derivative Method” as described in ASC 815.
The interest rate swaps are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Other current assets” or “Other accrued expenses,” depending on whether the contracts are in asset or liability positions at the end of each reporting period. In compliance with ASC 815, the Company formally assesses the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps at inception and at least every three months thereafter. These assessments have established that swaps have been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting the interest expense variability of the underlying floating rate debt and are therefore eligible for cash flow hedge accounting treatment.
Changesaccordingly, changes in the fair value of derivativesinterest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss),AOCI to the extent such cash flow hedges are effective. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earningsAOCI when the underlying hedged items are recognized, during the period that a hedge transaction is terminated, or whenever a portion of the hedge transaction results are deemed ineffective. We

7. DEBT OurAffinia’s debt consists of notes that are publicly traded, an asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”), term loan facilities consisting of Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2 and other short-term borrowings. The fair value framework requires the categorization of ourthe Company’s debt into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to determine fair value. The fair value of debt and the categorization of the hierarchy level of fair value, net of discount, are and were as follows:
Fair Value of Debt at SeptemberJune 30, 20142015 (Dollars in millions) | | Book Value of Debt | | | Fair Value Factor | | | Fair Value of Debt | | Senior notes, due May 2021(1) | | $ | 250 | | | | 103.13 | % | | $ | 258 | | Term Loan B-1, due April 2016(1) | | | 175 | | | | 99.38 | % | | | 174 | | Term Loan B-2, due April 2020(1) | | | 366 | | | | 100.00 | % | | | 366 | | ABL Revolver, due April 2018(2) | | | — | | | | 100.00 | % | | | — | | Other debt(2) | | | 31 | | | | 100.00 | % | | | 31 | | Total fair value of debt at June 30, 2015 | | | | | | | | | | $ | 829 | |

(1) | The fair value assigned to the Company’s long-term debt reflects financial model estimates generated from a third-party provider based on observable inputs related to market prices of comparable debt instruments and represents a Level 2 approximation within the fair value categorization framework. |
(2) | The carrying value of fixed rate short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s current floating rate debt instruments approximates fair value because of the variable interest rates pertaining to those instruments. The fair value of debt is categorized within Level 2 of the hierarchy. |
A financial covenant exists under the ABL Revolver that would be triggered if excess availability under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of 10% of the total borrowing base and $10 million. If the covenant trigger were to occur, wethe Company would be required to satisfy and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00x, measured for the last twelve-month period. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2014,2015, none of the covenant triggers had occurred. The impact of falling below the fixed charge coverage ratio would not be a default but would trigger the imposition of restrictions on ourthe Company’s ability to pursue certain operational or financial transactions (e.g. asset dispositions, dividends and acquisitions). As discussed further in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operations—Chassis”, on May 1, 2014, Affinia closed the sale of the Chassis group. In conjunction with the closing of the sale, cash proceeds of $149 million were received. With the proceeds and cash from operations, the Company paid down $24 million of Term Loan B-1 and $85 million of Term Loan B-2. Additionally, the Company made a $57 million distribution to Holdings. Holdings used all of the distribution to partially repay the note issued by Holdings to Dana Corporation (“Dana”) as part of the financing in connection with our acquisition in 2004 of substantially all of the aftermarket business operations of Dana (the “Seller Note.”) As of September 30, 2014, the Seller Note balance was $28 million.
On April 25, 2013, we refinanced our existing notes and credit facilities and made a distribution to Holdings, our sole stockholder. The refinancing consisted of the issuance of $250 million aggregate principal amount 7.75% Senior Notes due May 1, 2021, a $200 million term loan due April 25, 2016, a $470 million term loan due April 25, 2020, the proceeds of which we used, together with $31 million of cash on hand, to redeem our 10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2016, redeem our 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing transaction and make a $350 million distribution to Holdings. Holdings used the distribution to redeem its preferred shares, repay $61 million of the Seller Note and make a distribution of $133 million to Holdings’ stockholders.
The sources and uses of proceeds of the 2013 refinancing consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Dollars in millions) | | Sources | | | | | | | | Uses | | Term Loan B-1(1) | | $ | 199 | | | Redeemed Secured Notes | | | | | | $ | 180 | | Term Loan B-2(1) | | | 468 | | | Redeemed Subordinated Notes | | | | | | | 367 | | Senior Notes | | | 250 | | | Distribution to Shareholder: | | | | | | | | | Cash on hand | | | 31 | | | Redeemed Holdings’ Preferred Shares(2) | | | 156 | | | | | | | | | | | | Repaid Holdings’ Seller Note(2) | | | 61 | | | | | | | | | | | | Distribution to Holdings’ Stockholders(2) | | | 133 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Total distribution to Shareholder(2) | | | | | | | 350 | | | | | | | | Interest payments on Secured and Subordinated Notes | | | | | | | 21 | | | | | | | | Call premium on Secured Notes | | | | | | | 15 | | | | | | | | Deferred financing costs(3) | | | | | | | 15 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 948 | | | | | | | | | $ | 948 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) | Less original issue discount of $2 million for Term Loan B-2 and $1 million for Term Loan B-1. |
(2) | A distribution to Holdings, our sole stockholder, of $350 million was used for redemption of preferred shares, payment of debt and a distribution to its stockholders. |
(3) | The deferred financing costs paid on the date of the refinancing were $13 million and $2 million was subsequently paid in the remainder of the second quarter of 2013. |
As the refinancing was treated as an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, “Debt”, we recorded a $15 million loss in connection with the refinancing arrangement. Additionally, we recorded a write-off of $5 million for unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the redemption of our Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes, as well as a write-off of $3 million for the replacement of our existing ABL Revolver with a new ABL Revolver. These charges were recorded within Interest Expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In conjunction with the refinancing, we recorded $15 million in total deferred financing costs, of which $14 million related to the issuance of our Senior Notes and Term Loans and $1 million was associated with the ABL Revolver.
During the second quarter of 2013, we made a distribution of $351 million to Holdings of which $350 million related to the refinancing, as previously described, and $1 million related to the payment of Holdings’ operating expenses.
8. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first in first out basis for all domestic inventories and at the Company’s Poland operations or average cost basis for other non-U.S. inventories. Inventories are reduced by an allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventories based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage. A summary of inventories, net is provided in the table below: | (Dollars in millions) | | At September 30, 2014 | | | At December 31, 2013 | | | At June 30, 2015 | | | At December 31, 2014 | | Raw materials | | $ | 64 | | | $ | 67 | | | $ | 66 | | | $ | 58 | | Work-in-process | | | 14 | | | | 17 | | | | 13 | | | | 16 | | Finished goods | | | 152 | | | | 137 | | | | 99 | | | | 80 | | | | | | | | | | $ | 178 | | | $ | 154 | | | | $ | 230 | | | $ | 221 | | | | | | | | | | |
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES At September 30, 2014, the Company had purchase commitments for property, plant and equipment of approximately $4 million.

The allegations raise issues involving potential improper payments in connection with governmental approvals, permits, or other regulatory areas and possible conflicts of interest. The Company’s review, is beingwhich the Company considers to be complete, has been supervised by the Audit Committee of ourAffinia’s Board of Directors and is beinghas been conducted with the assistance of outside professionals. The review is ongoingAffinia voluntarily self-reported on these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and nothe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and has cooperated fully with the U.S. government. No determination may yet be made as to whether, in connection with the circumstances surrounding the review, weAffinia may become subject to any fines, penalties and/or other charges imposed by any governmental authority, or any other damages or costs that may arise in connection with those circumstances. We voluntarily self-reported on these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and intend to fully cooperate with these agencies in their review. . 10. INCOME TAXES The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate was $8$1 million as of both SeptemberJune 30, 20142015 and December 31, 2013.2014. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and recognizes penalties as part of the income tax provision. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2014,2015, the Company’s accrual for interest and penalties was $2less than $1 million. We areThe Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. For jurisdictions in which we transactAffinia transacts significant business, tax years ended December 31, 2004 and later remain subject to examination by tax authorities. We doThe Company does not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months. The effective tax rate was 37%56% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20142015, compared to 53% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2013.2014. The increase is attributable to an increase in income earned in jurisdictions with higher income tax rates. The effective tax rate was 56% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 80% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate was attributable to a decrease in income earned in jurisdictions with higher income tax rates. The effective tax rate was 47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate was attributable to a decrease in income earned in jurisdictions with higherlower income tax rates. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a currency devaluation of $7 million for the Venezuelan operations. This was a non-deductible item for income tax purposes. purposes.
11. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings are pending or threatened against usAffinia and ourits subsidiaries, arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, intellectual property, product liability and environmental matters. We believeAffinia believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material effect on ourits financial condition, or results of operations or liquidity. The Company has various accruals for civil liability, including product liability, and other costs. If there is a range of equally probable outcomes, we accrueAffinia accrues at the lower end of the range. The Company had $2 million and $13 million accrued as of Septemberboth June 30, 20142015 and December 31, 2013, respectively.2014. These amounts are reflected in “OtherOther accrued expenses”expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the amount accrued is due to a payment of $11 million made during the first quarter of 2014 in full settlement of the Neovia Logistics Services (U.K.) Limited claim. The Company had accrued $11 million during 2013 associated with this claim. There are no recoveries expected from third parties associated with outstanding or settled claims. In addition, wethe continuing operations of Affinia have various other claims that are reasonably possible of occurrence for which ourthe aggregate maximum exposure to loss is estimated at $14less than $1 million. There are currently no reserves associated with these claims. The Company owns property in Litchfield, Illinois on which various historic environmental contaminants have been discovered. These contaminants are self-contained on the property and, with the exception of a small area with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) impact, are not required by law to be remediated. The Company entered the site into the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (“IEPA”) voluntary Site Remediation Program and has received IEPA approval of a previously filed Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) for one portion of the site that is associated with the voluntary clean-up actions. The remediation for that portion of the site commenced in June 2015 and is expected to be completed in September 2015. A RAP for the other portion of the site, including where PCBs are located, is being prepared and will be submitted to IEPA, the Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is currently anticipated that such RAP will be submitted in the Fall of 2015. The Company’s objective is to obtain a combination of comprehensive and focused No Further Remediation (NFR) letters for the Site. The current cost estimate to complete all of the voluntary work included in the approved RAP and expected to be included in the second RAP, including costs already incurred, is approximately $4 million. Since soil sampling and testing is not yet complete and a full site remediation study has not been issued on the area associated with the legally required PCB clean-up, the Company cannot currently reasonably estimate the cost of the PCB clean-up. It is not expected that the cost associated with this clean-up will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. There are currently no reserves associated with these cost estimates. 12. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING Affinia has agreements with third party financial institutions to factor certain receivables on a non-recourse basis. The terms of the factoring arrangements provide for the factoring of certain U.S. Dollar-denominated or Canadian Dollar-denominated receivables, which are purchased at the face value amount of the receivable discounted at the annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread on the purchase date. The amount factored is not contractually defined by the factoring arrangements and our use will vary each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and the cash flow needs of the Company. | | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | | Six Months Ended June 30, | | (Dollars in millions) | | 2014 | | | 2013 | | | 2015 | | | 2014 | | Gross accounts receivable factored | | $ | 353 | | | $ | 402 | | | $ | 193 | | | $ | 257 | | Expenses associated with factoring of receivables | | | 3 | | | | 3 | | | | 1 | | | | 2 | |

VENEZUELAN OPERATIONS In accordance with U.S. GAAP, effective January 1, 2010, the Company accountedbegan accounting for Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy because the three-year cumulative inflation rate for Venezuela using the blended Consumer Price Index (which is associated with the city of Caracas) and the National Consumer Price Index (developed commencing in 2008 and covering the entire country of Venezuela) exceeded 100%. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2010, ourthe Company’s Venezuelan subsidiary used the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. The financial statements of ourthe Venezuelan subsidiary must beis re-measured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. Dollar) and gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. The local currency in Venezuela is the Bolivar Fuerte (“VEF”). On January 11, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the country’s currency and, on February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced another devaluation of the currency to 6.30 VEF per U.S. Dollar and it eliminated the regulated parallel market rate of 5.3 VEF per U.S. Dollar. We used the official exchange rate of 6.30 VEF per U.S. Dollar to translate the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiary to comply with the regulations of Venezuela and are analyzing the impact of the volume restrictions on our business. The one-time devaluation had a $2 million negative impact on our pre-tax net income during the first quarter of 2013.
In 2013, the Venezuelan government authorized certain companies that operate in designated industry sectors to exchange a limited volume of VEFs for U.S. Dollars at a bid rate established via weekly auctions under what is known as SICAD 1. SICAD 1 auctions began in October 2013. However, SICAD 1 auctions are not indicative of a free market exchange as only designated industries may bid into individual auctions and the highest bids are not always recognized by the Venezuelan government. In March 2014, another currency exchange mechanism (SICAD 2) became effective. SICAD 2 iswas intended to more closely resemble a market-driven exchange rate than the rates provided by Venezuela’s other regulated exchange mechanisms (i.e. the official rate and the SICAD 1 rate). Thus, as of March 31, 2014, entities may bewere able to convert VEFs at one of three legal exchange rates: official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar based on closing rate at lastthe then most recent auction, and SICAD 2 rate of 50.86 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar based on closing rate on March 31, 2014. As a result of the multiple exchange rates available to settle transactions, at March 31, 2014, management reevaluated the exchange rates previously used for remeasurement, which had been the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. While substantially all of ourthe Company’s import transactions for purchases of inventory havehad been preapprovedpre-approved by the Venezuelan government at the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, the Venezuelan government hashad not settled these transactions with vendors since November 2013. This, along with the introduction of the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 market mechanisms, raiseraised considerable doubts about ourthe ability to ultimately settle transactions at the official rate in the future. Additionally, legislation enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2014 indicatesindicated that foreign investments are subject to the SICAD 1 rate rather than the official rate. While not the determinative factor, management viewsviewed the passing of this legislation as a critical component in its assessment of the most representative rate to use for remeasurement purposes at March 31, 2014. Given the uncertainty of the exchange markets and the ultimate rate at which transactions may settle in the future, as well as consideration of the aforementioned legislation that was enacted earlier in 2014, wethe Company recorded a one-time devaluation of $7 million in the first quarter of 2014, which representsrepresented a move from the official rate to the SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. Of the $7 million devaluation charge, $5 million was recorded in the Filtration segment and $2 million was recorded in the ASA segment. This devaluation is reflected in “OtherOther income and expenses, net”net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the thirdfourth quarter of 2014, ourthe Company recorded an immaterial devaluation to reflect the movement in the SICAD1 rate from 10.7 VEF to 12.0 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. During the first quarter of 2015, management continued to apply the rate of 12.0 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. However, in February 2015, the Marginal Currency System (“Simadi”) mechanism was introduced and implemented as part of law, resulting in the elimination of the SICAD 2 rate. The Simadi rate is a free market exchange where the rate is derived from daily private bidders and buyers exchanging offers through authorized agents and approved and published by the Venezuelan Central Bank. To date, the Company has had very limited participation in the Simadi markets as a result of successful participation in multiple SICAD1 auctions. At June 30, 2015, the Simadi rate was approximately 197 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an immaterial devaluation to reflect the movement in the SICAD 1 rate from 12.0 VEF to 12.8 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar as a result of management’s successful participation in a SICAD 1 auction at a rate of 12.8 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, which was a 6.7% depreciation over the last auction held in the fourth quarter of 2014. Management will continue to monitor the exchange rate mechanism in Venezuela, as well as the Company’s ability to continue to successfully access U.S. Dollar at a SICAD 1 rate to determine whether a different exchange rate should be used in future periods, which would result in further devaluation charges being recorded. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries represented approximately 5%9% of the Company’s consolidated net sales and thesales. The Venezuelan subsidiaries have total assets and liabilities of less than 5% of the Company’s total consolidated assets and liabilities at SeptemberJune 30, 2014.2015. Management will continue to monitor the environment in Venezuela to determine whether further devaluation charges are required. At this time, management does not believe that the foreign exchange limitations or restrictions will have a material impact on our liquidity, cash flows or debt covenants..

On August 29, 2014, Wix Filtration Corp LLC (“Wix”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Affinia, and CQ Sourcing, Inc. (“CQ Sourcing”), a subsidiary of Advance Auto Parts, Inc., agreed to end their current business relationship effective as of December 31, 2014. Such current business relationship consists of Wix selling to CQ Sourcing various CARQUEST filters. CQ Sourcing is the Company’s second largest customer in terms of annual net sales, representing approximately 5% of consolidated net sales and 8% of Filtration segment net sales. Until December 31, 2014, Wix will continue to sell such filters to CQ Sourcing in accordance with the commercial sales terms currently in place and no later than 60 days after December 31, 2014, CQ Sourcing will purchase from Wix all filters of Wix either finished or committed as a branded CARQUEST filter and all of Wix’s CARQUEST branded packaging.
As discussed further in Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Venezuelan Operations”, in the first quarter of 2014 the Filtration segment was unfavorably impacted by a $5 million charge associated with a devaluation of currency in Venezuela (the Bolivar Fuerte (“VEF”)). Management will continue to assess the implications of the multiple exchange rates in Venezuela to determine the appropriate exchange rates to apply to both transactions denominated in U.S. Dollars as well as the
periodic remeasurement of VEF balances into U.S. Dollars for purposes of financial reporting. Significant judgment is required to determine rates available to convert currency or settle transactions, as well as the probability of accessing and obtaining U.S. Dollar by using a particular exchange rate or exchange mechanism. Results of operations in the future could be adversely impacted by the need to apply a different exchange rate to future transactions, as well as the potential for additional devaluations of currency as part of the periodic remeasurement process. At September 30, 2014, total monetary assets and liabilities associated with our Venezuelan operations were less than 5% of the Company’s total consolidated assets and liabilities.2014.

The ABL Amendment contains additional amendments which, among other things, (i) reduce the dominion threshold to the greater of 12.5% of the total borrowing base and $12.5 million and (ii) amend the trigger period such that, commencing on the day that an event of default occurs or availability under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of 10.0% of the total borrowing base and $10 million and continuing until no event of default has existed and availability under the ABL Revolver has been greater than such thresholds at all times, in each case, for 30 consecutive days, the Company is required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.0x measured for the last 12-month period.
Indenture Senior Notes.On In April 25, 2013, Affinia issued $250 million of Senior Notes as part of the refinancing. The Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 7.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Senior Notes will mature on May 1, 2021. The terms of the Indenture provide that, among other things, the Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment to all of Affinia’s and all of the Company’s 100% owned current and future domestic subsidiaries (“Guarantors”) existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of Affinia’s and Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are effectively junior in right of payment to all of Affinia’s and the Guarantors’ secured indebtedness, including the Term Loans and the ABL Revolver, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The outstanding balance of the Senior Notes at SeptemberJune 30, 20142015 was $250 million. Guarantees. The Guarantors guarantee Affinia’s obligations under the Notes on a senior unsecured basis. Interest Rate. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 7.75% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable in cash semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. Other Covenants. The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict Affinia’s ability (as well as the Guarantors) to: incur additional debt; provide guarantees and issue mandatorily redeemable preferred stock; pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments including the prepayment of certain indebtedness; enter into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; enter into transactions with affiliates; create or incur liens; and merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets. Events of Default. The Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture, payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and other monetary obligations on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Term Loan Facility OnIn April 25, 2013, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) consisting of (i) a Term Loan B-1 in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million and (ii) a Term Loan B-2 in an aggregate principal amount of $470 million (collectively the “Term Loans”). The Term Loan B-1 was offered at a price of 99.75%, of its face value, resulting in approximately $199 million of
net proceeds for the Term Loan B-1. Term Loan B-2 was offered at a price of 99.50%, of its face value, resulting in approximately $468 million of net proceeds for Term Loan B-2. The $1 million and $2 million original issue discount for Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2, respectively, will be amortized based on the effective interest rate method and included in interest expense until the Term Loans mature. Term Loan B-1 amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum, with the balance due on April 25, 2016. Term Loan B-2 amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum, with the balance due on April 25, 2020. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2014,2015, $175 million principal amount of Term Loan B-1 was outstanding, net of less than $1 million issue discount which is being amortized until the Term Loan B-1 matures and $382$366 million principal amount of Term Loan B-2 was outstanding, net of the $2 million issue discount which is being amortized until the Term Loan B-2 matures. Guarantees and collateral. The indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Term Loan Facility are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its current and future U.S. subsidiaries, and are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions and exclusions, by a first-priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the borrower and each guarantor (including (i) a perfected pledge of all of the capital stock of the borrower and each direct, wholly-owned material subsidiary held by the borrower or any guarantor (subject to certain limitations with respect to foreign subsidiaries) and (ii) perfected security interests in, and mortgages on, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, material fee-owned real property, intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing) except for certain excluded assets and the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first priority basis, and a second-priority lien on the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first-priority basis. Mandatory prepayments. The Term Loan Facility requires the following amounts to be applied to prepay the Term Loans, subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and reinvestment rights: 100% of the net proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness), 100% of the net proceeds of certain asset sales (including insurance or condemnation proceeds), other than the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first-priority basis, and 50% of excess cash flow with stepdowns to 25% and 0% based on certain leverage targets. Mandatory prepayments will be allocated ratably between Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2 and, within each, will be applied to reduce remaining amortization payments in the direct order of maturity for the immediately succeeding eight quarters and, thereafter, pro rata. Voluntary prepayment. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding Term Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than a 1.00% premium payable until, in the case of Term Loan B-1, nine months following April 25, 2013 and, in the case of Term Loan B-2, one year following April 25, 2013, on (i) the amount of loans prepaid or refinanced with proceeds of long-term bank debt financing or any other financing similar to such borrowings having a lower effective yield or (ii) the amount of loans the terms of which are amended to the same effect), subject to payment of customary breakage costs in the case of LIBOR rate loans. Optional prepayments of the Term Loans will be applied to the remaining installments thereof at the direction of the Company. Interest rates. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility accrue interest at an annual rate of interest equal to (i) a base rate plus the applicable spread or (ii) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread. The applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan B-1 is 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBOR rate borrowings, and the applicable margin for borrowing under the Term Loan B-2 is 2.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.50% with respect to LIBOR rate borrowings. The LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum with respect to Term Loan B-1 and 1.25% per annum with respect to Term Loan B-2. Overdue principal with respect to the Term Loans will bear interest at a rate 2.00% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest and other overdue amounts with respect to the Term Loans will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% in excess of the rate applicable to base rate borrowings. Covenants. The Term Loan Facility contains negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to create liens and encumbrances; incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends or make other payments in respect of their capital stock; amend certain material governance documents; change the nature of the business of the borrower and its subsidiaries; redeem or repurchase capital stock or prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; change the borrower’s fiscal periods; and enter into certain restrictive agreements. The Term Loan Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control.

DuringOther Information
The Company owns property in Litchfield, Illinois on which various historic environmental contaminants have been discovered. These contaminants are self-contained on the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid down $109 million of outstanding debt under the Term Loan Facilityproperty and, $10 million of debt in Poland. We made a distribution of $57 million to Holdings which Holdings used to partially pay down its outstanding third-party debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we refinanced our existing notes and credit facilities. The refinancing consisted of $250 million of Senior Notes due 2021, a $200 million Term Loan B-1 due 2016, a $470 million Term Loan B-2 due 2020, the proceeds of which we used, together with $31 million of cash on hand, to redeem our Secured Notes and our Subordinated Notes, make a distribution of $350 million to Holdings and pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing transactions.exception of a small area with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) impact, are not required by law to be remediated. The Company entered the site into the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (“IEPA”) voluntary Site Remediation Program and has received IEPA approval of a previously filed Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) for one portion of the site. The remediation for that portion of the site commenced in June 2015 and is expected to be completed in September 2015. A RAP for the other portion of the site, including where PCBs are located, is being prepared and will be submitted to IEPA, the Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is anticipated that such RAP will be submitted in the Fall of 2015. The Company’s goal is to obtain a combination of comprehensive and focused No Further Remediation (NFR) letters for the Site. The current cost estimate to complete all of the voluntary work included in the approved RAP and expected to be included in the second RAP, including costs already incurred, is approximately $4 million. Since soil sampling and testing is not yet complete and a full site remediation study has not been issued on the area associated with the legally required PCB clean-up, the Company cannot currently reasonably estimate the cost of the PCB clean-up. It is not expected that the cost associated with this clean-up will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. There are currently no reserves associated with these cost estimates.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There have been no material changes to the information concerning the Company’s exposures to market risk as stated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.2014. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Derivatives,” for information with respect to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The translated values of revenue and expense from the Company’s international operations are subject to fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates. We areThe Company is exposed to various market risks, such as currency exchange and interest rate fluctuation. Where necessary to minimize such risks, wethe Company may enter into financial derivative transactions; however, we dothe Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Currency risk We conductThe Company conducts business throughout the world. Although we manage ourthe Company manages its businesses in such a way as to reduce a portion of the risks associated with operating internationally, changes in currency exchange rates may adversely impact ourAffinia’s results of operations and financial position.
The results of operations and financial position of each of ourthe Company’s operations are measured in their respective local (functional) currency. Business transactions denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency produce foreign exchange gains and losses, as a result of the re-measurement process, as described in ASC Topic 830,“Foreign “Foreign Currency Matters.” To the extent that ourthe Company’s business activities create monetary assets or liabilities denominated in a non-local currency, changes in an entity’s functional currency exchange rate versus each currency in which an entity transacts business have a varying impact on an entity’s results of operations and financial position, as reported in functional currency terms. Therefore, for entities that transact business in multiple currencies, we seekthe Company seeks to minimize the net amount of cash flows and balances denominated in non-local currencies. However, in the normal course of conducting international business, some amount of non-local currency exposure will exist. Therefore, management monitors these exposures and may engage in business activities or execute financial hedge transactions intended to mitigate the potential financial impact due to changes in the respective exchange rates.
OurThe Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position, as reported in U.S. Dollars, are also affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The results of operations of non-U.S. Dollar functional entities are translated into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting purposes each period at the average currency exchange rate experienced during the period. To the extent that the U.S. Dollar may appreciate or depreciate over time, the contribution of non-U.S. Dollar denominated results of operations to our U.S. Dollar reported consolidated earnings will vary accordingly. Therefore, changes in the various local currency exchange rates, as applied to the revenue and expenses of ourthe Company’s non-U.S. Dollar operations may have a significant impact on our sales and, to a lesser extent, consolidated net income trends. In addition, a significant portion of ourthe Company’s consolidated financial position is maintained at foreign locations and is denominated in functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The non-U.S. Dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at each respective currency’s exchange rate then in effect at the end of each reporting period. The financial impact of the translation process is reflected within the other comprehensive income component of shareholder’s equity. Accordingly, the amounts shown in our consolidated shareholder’s equity account will fluctuate depending upon the cumulative appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. Dollar versus each of the respective functional currencies in which we conductAffinia conducts business. Management seeks to lessen the potential financial impact upon our consolidated results of operations due to exchange rate changes by engaging in business activities or by executing financial derivative transactions intended to mitigate specific transactional underlying currency exposures. We doAffinia does not engage in activities solely intended to counteract the impact that changes in currency exchange rates may have upon our U.S. Dollar reported statement of financial condition nor do wedoes Affinia engage in currency transactions for speculative purposes.
See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Venezuela Operations” for a discussion regarding the currency devaluation recorded in the first quarter of 2014. 2014, the fourth quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015.OurAffinia’s foreign currency exchange rate risk management efforts primarily focus upon operationally managing the net amount of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. In addition, wethe Company routinely executeexecutes short-term currency exchange rate forward contracts intended to mitigate the earnings impact related to the re-measurement process. At September 30, 2014, we hadSee Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Derivatives,” for additional information with respect to Affinia’s currency exchange rate derivatives with an aggregate notional value of $81 million.derivatives.
Interest rate risk We areAffinia is exposed to the risk of rising interest rates to the extent that we fundit funds operations with short-term or variable-rate borrowings. At SeptemberJune 30, 2014,2015, the Company’s $820$822 million of aggregate debt outstanding consisted of $570$572 million of floating-rate debt and $250 million of fixed-rate debt.
Pursuant to ourthe Company’s interest rate risk management policy, weit actively monitormonitors and manage ourmanages the fixed versus floating rate debt composition within a specified range. At quarter-end, fixed rate debt comprised approximately 30%32% of our total debt. Based on the amount of floating-rate debt outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 2014,2015, a 1% rise in interest rates would result in approximately $6$5 million in incremental interest expense.
