Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 20172020 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This guidance requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost to be recorded in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Other components of the net periodic benefit cost must be presented separately outside of operating income. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This guidance will require companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory in the period in which the transfer occurs. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied on a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, thereby reducing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The guidance requires companies to use a retrospective transition method upon adoption. The Company’s current accounting practices are consistent with the issues addressed by this guidance. Therefore, this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance revises existing U.S. GAAP by requiring lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases (except for short-term leases). The standard also requires additional disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertaintystatements of cash flows arising from lease transactions. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

Several ASUs addressing revenue recognition have been issued since the issuance of ASU 2014-09.

3. Divestitures
2020 Divestiture
In the fourth quarter of 2017.2019, management approved a plan to sell its European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses, as well as its Indian operations. The entities and the associated assets and liabilities met the criteria for presentation as held for sale as of March 31, 2020, and depreciation of long-lived assets ceased. The divestiture did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation.
The Company has completed its evaluation of pre-production costs related to long-term supply arrangements, such as reimbursable tooling, and expects to continue accounting for pre-production costs in accordance with existing guidance. In addition, the Company’s internal control framework is not expected to significantly change. Instead, existing internal controls will be modified and augmented, as necessary. While implementing the new standard, the Company will continue to monitor FASB activities and interpretations of various non-authoritative industry groups for any possible impact on the Company’s findings.

Upon meeting the criteria for held for sale classification, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $86,470 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to reduce the carrying value of the held for sale entities to fair value less costs to sell. Fair value, which is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, was determined using a market approach, estimated based on expected proceeds. The fair value less costs to sell were assessed each reporting period that the asset group remained classified as held for sale. The difference between the impairment of the carrying value on the divested assets compared to the impairment recorded in the statements of operations is due to foreign currency translation offset by costs to sell incurred in the second quarter. The impairment charge includes the non-cash cumulative foreign currency translation losses recorded in equity related to the divested entities.

Contract Estimates
The amount of revenue recognized is usually based on the purchase order price and adjusted for variable consideration, including pricing concessions. The Company accrues for pricing concessions by reducing revenue as products are shipped or delivered. The accruals are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and management’s best judgment. The Company also generally has ongoing adjustments to customer pricing arrangements based on the content and cost of its products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with customers. Customer returns are usually related to quality or shipment issues and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company generally does not recognize significant return obligations due to their infrequent nature.
Contract Balances
The Company’s contract assets consist of unbilled amounts associated with variable pricing arrangements in its Asia Pacific region. Once pricing is finalized, contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition and billings, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates, will impact contract assets on an ongoing basis. Contract assets were not materially impacted by any other factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments received and due from customers. Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:

The Company, at times, enters into agreements that provide for lump sum payments to customers. These payment agreements are recorded as a reduction of revenue during the period the commitment is made. Amounts related to commitments of future payments to customers on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were current liabilities of $8,352 and $12,916, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $6,724 and $9,502, respectively.
The Company provides assurance-type warranties to its customers. Such warranties provide customers with assurance that the related product will function as intended and complies with any agreed-upon specifications, and are recognized in costs of products sold.
5. Restructuring
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its business and objectives to ensure that it is properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions. Accordingly, the Company has implemented several restructuring initiatives, including closure or consolidation of facilities throughout the world and the reorganization of its operating structure.
In January 2015, the Company announced its intention to further restructure its European manufacturing footprint based on anticipated market demands. The total estimated cost of this initiative, which is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2017, is approximately $120,000 to $125,000, of which approximately $107,000 has been incurred to date. We expect to incur total employee separation costs of approximately $63,000 to $66,000, other related exit costs of approximately $56,000 to $58,000 and non-cash asset impairments related to restructuring activities of approximately $500.
The Company’s restructuring charges consist of severance, retention and outplacement services, and severance-related postemployment benefits (collectively, “employee separation costs”), other related exit costs and asset impairments related to restructuring activities. Employee separation costs are recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy.

11. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016 was2019 were as follows:

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis see Note 2. “Acquisitions,” Note 3. “Restructuring”“Divestitures” and Note 5.8. “Property, Plant and Equipment.”

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting. Gains or losses on derivative instruments resulting from hedge ineffectiveness are reported in earnings.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of net income.operations.

As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through third partya single third-party financial institutions with and without recourse.institution in a pan-European program (the “Factor”). The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. The Company continues to service the receivables. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreementagreements governing the ABL Facility theand Term Loan Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes. The European factoring facility, which was renewed in March 2020, allows the Company to factor up to €120 million of its Euro-denominated accounts receivable, accelerating access to cash and reducing credit risk. The factoring facility expires in December 2023.
Costs incurred on the sale of receivables are recorded in other expense, net and interest expense, net of interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of net income. Receivables sold with recourse areoperations. The sale of receivables under this contract is considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and is accounted for as secured borrowingsa true sale and are recorded in debt payable within one year, and receivables are pledged equal to the balance of the borrowings. Receivables sold without recourse are accounted for as true sales and areis excluded from accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Recent Trends and Conditions
General Economic Conditions and Outlook
The global automotive industry is susceptible to uncertain economic conditions that could adversely impact new vehicle demand.demand and production. Business conditions may vary significantly from period to period or region to region. The global COVID-19 pandemic created an unusually high degree of economic disruption and uncertainty during the first nine months of 2020. Although most automotive manufacturing operations continued production during the third quarter, many industries remain significantly impacted by policies, regulations, risks and concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus, which is continuing to drive significant uncertainty for the broader economic outlook and for the automotive industry around the world. Economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) believe global economic activity is likely to remain subdued until perceived health risks abate. They are now expecting the global economy to contract by approximately 4.4% in 2020.
In North America, whileeconomic conditions and consumer confidence have improved compared to the U.S.second quarter but continue to be negatively impacted by concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic and related government-imposed restrictions. Uncertainty related to the outcome of the presidential election in the United States will also likely weigh on consumer confidence in the region through the fourth quarter of 2020.
The United States government has taken historic measures to provide fiscal stimulus to the economy has been relatively stable, market indicators show signsin an effort to sustain businesses, limit job losses and preempt deeper declines in consumer confidence during the pandemic. Further stimulus actions are being considered. Despite these efforts, IMF economists now expect economic contraction of softening consumer demand. The mix of vehicles produced continues to shift away from passenger cars into crossover utility vehicles and light trucks.approximately 4.7% for the North America region in 2020.
In Europe, the continuing economic recovery is driving increased demand for light vehicles. Certain countries within the European region, are faced with an uncertainthe IMF is projecting economic contraction of approximately 8.3% for 2020. Current and potentially volatilepotential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to weigh on the economies of the region. Due to the pandemic, certain European governments mandated closures of broad segments of the economy in the first half of the year. Partial re-opening of the closed sectors has occurred at varying times and rates across the region. More recently, however, a resurgence of COVID-19 cases is causing some governments to consider further shutdown actions. While automotive manufacturers have resumed production, on-going health risks, geopolitical climate, whichconcerns and the implementation of new environmental regulations in the automotive industry will likely continue to impact vehicle demand and economic growth.
In the Asia Pacific region, the IMF expects China’s economic growth rate to slow to just 1.8% in 2020. The post-COVID-19 economic recovery in the country is continuing, driven, in part, by a new infrastructure initiative that is focused on

accelerating the digital transformation of the country’s industries. The retail sector has also been improving in the third quarter, pointing to improved consumer confidence. Finally, the manufacturers purchasing managers index (PMI) reached a nine-year high in September, suggesting a strong industrial growth environment through the remainder of the year.
In South America, the IMF estimates that the Brazilian economy will contract by approximately 5.8% in 2020 as compared to 2019. Economic activity rebounded in the third quarter but not sufficiently to offset the sharp decline in the second quarter that was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Brazilian government has extended certain economic assistance programs to the end of the year to help support consumers. This spending will add to the country’s already high national debt level and could impactlead to lower consumer confidence and foreign investment in the region going forward. We remain cautious for the mid to long-term outlook given the long history of political instability and economic growth.volatility in the region.
The Chinese government continuesRaw Materials
Our business is susceptible to manageinflationary pressures with respect to raw materials which may place operational and profitability burdens on the nation’s economy with a goal of sustaining growth. Overall economic growth, consumer preferencesentire supply chain. Costs related to raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and an expanding middle class in Chinaoil and oil-derived commodities, continue to drive crossover utility vehicle demand higher, while demand for passenger cars is expectedbe volatile. In addition, we continue to decline slightly year over year.
Finally, dueexpect commodity cost volatility to continued volatility in Brazil,have an impact on future earnings and operating cash flows. As such, on an ongoing basis, we remain cautious about consumer confidencework with our customers and vehicle demand in this region.suppliers to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost exposures.
Production Levels
Our business is directly affected by the automotive vehicle production rates in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. New vehicle demand is driven by macroeconomic and other factors, suchBeginning in the first quarter of 2020, as interest rates, manufacturer and dealer sales incentives, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment levels, income growth trends and government and tax incentives. The industry could face uncertaintiesa result of COVID-19, we experienced the shutdown of effectively all of our facilities in Asia Pacific coinciding with the shutdown of our customer facilities in that may adversely impact consumer demandregion. Facility shutdowns then occurred in March 2020 for vehicles as well as the future production environment.
Ina majority of our facilities in North America, light vehicle inventoryEurope and South America.
Production resumed in the U.S. had risen significantly above normalized levels atAsia Pacific by the end of the first quarter of 2020, albeit at a lower capacity, and has steadily increased in production capacity throughout the year. For our North America and Europe facilities, production resumed in May 2020 at a lower capacity and has increased through the subsequent months. Finally, for our South America facilities, production resumed in the second quarter, of 2017. Production cuts by OEMs inbut has increased more slowly compared to the third quarter of 2017 were successful in bringing inventory closerother regions. We are collaborating closely with our customers as production volume continues to normalizedincrease and approach pre-COVID-19 levels, while also adhering to enhanced safety standards and more aligned with consumer demand. Even in view of lower inventory levels, we expect overall light vehicle production in the fourth quarter of 2017measures to be slightly lower than in the fourth quarter of 2016, driven largely by continued lower production of passenger cars. European light vehicle production has seen modest year-over-year growth through the first three quarters of 2017 and we expect this trend to continue through the fourth quarter of 2017. In Asia Pacific, we expect light vehicle production to continue to grow sequentially at modest levels through the remainder of 2017, driven mainly by China.

Industry Overview(1)Production data based on IHS Automotive, October 2020.
Competition inThe COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as the biggest risk factor facing the automotive supplier industry is intenseindustry. In the first half of the year, total vehicle production decreased substantially across the globe. Plant shutdowns have greatly slowed production and have been accompanied by decreased demand for vehicles, as new vehicle sales are highly dependent on strong consumer confidence and low unemployment. While the outlook for the fourth quarter of 2020 and the full year 2021 remains uncertain, the global economy has increased in recent years as OEMs have demonstrated a preference for stronger relationships with fewer suppliers. Becausebegun to rebound from the impacts of a growing emphasis on globalthe pandemic. Lower unemployment rates, improving consumer confidence and lower than normal light vehicle platforms, automotive suppliers with a global manufacturing footprint capable of fully servicing customers around the world will typicallyinventory levels could all have a competitive advantage over smaller, regional competitors. This dynamic is likely to result in further consolidation of competing suppliers within our industry over time.positive impact on light vehicle production going forward.
OEMs have shifted some research and development, design and testing responsibility to suppliers, while at the same time shortening new product cycle times. To remain competitive, suppliers must have state-of-the-art engineering and design capabilities and must be able to continuously improve their engineering, design and manufacturing processes to effectively service the customer. Suppliers are increasingly expected to collaborate on, or assume the product design and development of, key automotive components and to provide innovative solutions to meet evolving technologies aimed at improved emissions and fuel economy.
32
Increased competitiveness in the industry, as well as customer focus on costs, has resulted in pressure on suppliers for price reductions, reducing the overall profitability of the industry. Consolidations and market share shifts among vehicle manufacturers continue to put additional pressures on the supply chain. These pricing and market pressures will continue to drive our focus on reducing our overall cost structure through continuous improvement initiatives, capital redeployment, restructuring and other cost management processes.

In addition to the above, other factors will present opportunities for automotive suppliers who are positioned for the changing environment, including autonomous and connected vehicles, evolving government regulation, and consumer preference for environmentally friendly products and technology, including hybrid and electric vehicle architectures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks
We intend to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements through a combination of cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) and receivables factoring. The Company utilizes intercompany loans and equity contributions to fund its worldwide operations. There may be country-specific regulations which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. See Note 7.10. “Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1,I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
We continue to take aggressive action to preserve cash and enhance liquidity, including significantly decreasing our capital expenditures. Based on ourthose actions and current and anticipated levels of operations and the condition in our markets and industry,projections for increasing OEM customer production, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our ABL Facility and receivables factoring will enable us to meet our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the next twelve months. However,months, despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. We continuously monitor and forecast our liquidity situation, take the necessary actions to preserve our liquidity and evaluate other financial alternatives that may be available to us should the need arise. Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other obligations, and to comply with the financial covenants, including borrowing base limitations, under our ABL Facility, depend on our future operating performance and cash flowflows and many factors outside of our control, including the costs of raw materials, the state of the overall automotive industry and financial and economic conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, and other factors.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash provided byused in operations was $104.6$26.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, compared to $182.0net cash provided by operations of $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2019. The changenet outflow was primarily driven by an increase in receivables due to customer payment timing and repurchase of receivables as part of the transition to a pan-European factoring program, increased inventory and higher payments related to incentive compensation,decreased cash earnings, partially offset by increased cash earnings and reduced cash paid for restructuring and taxes.working capital improvements.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $136.7$89.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, compared to $150.7net cash provided by investing activities of $113.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2019. Significant decreases in capital expenditures occurred throughout 2020, in order to preserve liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, lower capital expenditures are expected in the fourth quarter of 2020. Cash used inprovided by investing activities in 2019 consisted


primarily of gross proceeds of $243.4 million from the sale of our AVS product line, partially offset by capital spending of $137.4 million and $116.8spending.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $225.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $165 million2020, compared to $175 million on capital expenditures in 2017.
Financing Activities. Netnet cash used in financing activities totaled $52.1of $78.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared2019. The inflow was primarily due to $41.3proceeds from issuance of the Senior Secured Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were no share repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Cash used for share repurchases was $36.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased repurchase activity under our share repurchase program, certain paydowns of foreign bank loans in 2017 and decreased warrant exercises.2019.
Share Repurchase Program
In March 2016,June 2018, our Board of Directors approved a securitiesnew common stock repurchase program (the “Program”“2018 Program”) authorizing us to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $125$150.0 million of our outstanding common stock or warrants to purchase common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, or through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by our managementus and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations.
In March 2016, we purchased $23.8 million of our common stock (350,000 shares at $68.00 per share) from the Selling Stockholders (as described in Note 15. “Common Stock” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report). In 2017, we repurchased $31.5 million of our common stock (306,072 shares at an average purchase price of $102.76 per share, excluding commissions) in the open market, of which $30.7 million was settled in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We expect to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The specific timing and amount of any future repurchase will vary based on market and business conditions and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be

discontinued at any time at our discretion. As of September 30, 2017,2020, we havehad approximately $69.7$98.7 million of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program. We currently have no plans to repurchase shares in the foreseeable future.
We did not make any repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
2019 Repurchases
In May 2019, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase our common stock pursuant to the 2018 Program. Under the ASR agreement, we made an up-front payment of $30.0 million and received an initial delivery of 626,305 shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2019. The repurchase was completed in the third quarter of 2019 when we received final delivery of an additional 72,875 shares. A total of 699,180 shares were repurchased at a weighted average purchase price of $42.91 per share.
In addition to the repurchase under the ASR agreement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased 85,000 shares at an average purchase price of $69.85 per share, excluding commissions, for a total cost of $5.9 million.

because similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in our financing arrangements;
in developing our internal budgets and forecasts;
as a significant factor in evaluating our management for compensation purposes;
in evaluating potential acquisitions;
in comparing our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry; and
in presentations to the members of our board of directors to enable our board of directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in their assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company.
In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, as adjusted for items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-cash fair value adjustments and acquisition-related costs.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measurements recognized under U.S. GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to, and not as alternatives for, net income (loss), operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. These limitations include:
 
they do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments;
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
they do not reflect interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments under our ABL Facility, Term Loan Facility, Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes;
they do not reflect certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and


other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently and, as the number of differences in the way companies calculate these measures increases, the degree of their usefulness as a comparative measure correspondingly decreases.
In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, it should be noted that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the below presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by special items.
