3. Divestiture
2020 Divestiture
In the fourth quarter of 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.
Upon meeting the criteria for held for sale classification and during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $74,079$86,470 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.
On July 1, 2020, the Company completed the divestiture of its European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses, as well as its Indian operations, to Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (“Mutares”). The transaction included payment denominated in Euro of €9,000, which consisted of €6,500 in cash paid and €2,500 in deferred payment obligations, payable in December 2021.
During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company recorded subsequent adjustments resulting in a net gain of $891.$696.

The Company usually enters into agreements with customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life. Blanket purchase orders received from customers and related documents generally establish the annual terms, including pricing, related to a vehicle model. Customers typically pay for parts based on customary business practices with payment terms generally between 30 and 90 days.

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, which are infrequent, 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 threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021.
The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments received and due from customers. Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:

Other
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 March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were current liabilities of $15,882$16,254 and $16,932, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $6,427$6,818 and $6,828, 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.
5.4. 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.
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.

Subsequently, on March 6, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Term Loan Facility to further modify the interest rate. In accordance with this amendment, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, the greater of the applicable Eurodollar rate and 0.75% plus 2.0% per annum, or (2) with respect to base rate loans, the base rate, (which is the highest of the then current federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate most recently announced by the administrative agent under the term loan, and the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%) plus 1.0% per annum.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)
result of the Amendment, the senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) maturity was extended to March 2025 and the aggregate revolving loan availability was reduced to $180,000. The aggregate revolving loan availability includes a $100,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $25,000 swing line sub-facility. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted $100,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total ABL Facility of $280,000, if requested by the borrowers under the ABL Facility and the lenders agree to fund such increase.

11.10. 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 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 March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 3.2. “Divestiture” and Note 8.7. “Property, Plant and Equipment.”
Items Not Carried at Fair Value
Fair values of the Company’s Senior Notes, Senior Secured Notes and Term Loan Facility were as follows:

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.
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
16

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)
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 operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.
Cash Flow Hedges
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts - The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional amount of these contracts was $66,133$41,877 and $97,503, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to December 2021.2022.

11. Accounts Receivable Factoring
As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through a single third-party financial institution (the “Factor”) in a pan-European program (the “Factor”).program. The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and 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.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 varied compared to the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 varied from prior periods primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and U.S. states, and due to a benefit in the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 for net operating losses carried back up to five years at tax rates in effect during those periods under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), rather than carried forward at current federal tax rates of 21%. TheAn incremental loss in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was driven byrecorded for impairment charges on held for sale entities for which no tax benefit was recognized. Additionally, a discrete expense of $13,309$12,871 for the initial recognition of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions was recorded in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.
The income tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 varied from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and U.S. states, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, and other permanent items. Additionally, the income tax rate for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 varied from the U.S. statutory rate as a result of benefits from net operating loss carry backs under the CARES Act. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

20.19. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for claims, litigation and various legal matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.
In addition, the Company conducts and monitors environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $12,012$11,444 and $13,302, respectively, reserved in accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on an undiscounted basis. While the Company’s costs to defend and settle known claims arising under environmental laws have not been material in the past and are not currently estimated to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, such costs may be material to the Company’s financial statements in the future.
21.20. Segment Reporting

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 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 2020, which has continued into 2021. Although optimism for ana global economic recovery has increased in the first quarterhalf of 2021, a considerable amount of uncertainty remains.remains, including with respect to variant strains of the virus. The rate of recovery has varied across regions, and, in some cases, rapid growth and spikes in consumer and industrial demand have outpaced production and supply chain capacity. These supply/demand imbalances have added another layer of uncertainty for the broader economic outlook and for the automotive industry around the world. Despite these uncertainties, economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF)World Bank remain positive in their outlook and have recently increased their forecasts for global economic growth. They are now expecting the global economy to grow by approximately 6.0%5.6% in 2021.
In North America, the United States government has injected historic levels of fiscal stimulus into its economy to sustain businesses, create jobs and drive consumer confidence and spending. In addition, rapid distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccines have enabled large segments of the economy to return to near normal levels of activity, spurring growth. IMFUnemployment levels remained stable during the second quarter of 2021 at approximately 6.0% even though businesses have broadly reported shortages of labor in many markets. Inflation is also recently a factor that may weigh on future economic activity and growth. Despite these possible adverse impacts, World Bank economists nowcurrently expect economic growth of approximately 6.0% for the North America region in 2021. Further, the IMF expects unemployment to decline to approximately 6.0% in 2021, compared to more than 8.0% in 2020.
In Europe, the IMF is projecting economic growth of approximately 4.4% for 2021. The region continuescertain areas continue to experience recurring outbreaks of COVID-19 and some localized increases in pandemic related restrictions. However, vaccinations are increasing throughout the region, and this is expected to drive additional economic activity in the second half of the year. DespiteUnemployment in the region has been trending lower since the end of 2020 but at 7.3%, it remains significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. Based on the improving health outlook,and employment outlooks, the IMF expects unemploymentWorld Bank is projecting economic growth in the region to increase to 8.0% in 2021, keeping consumer confidence and economic growth rates below those of other developed regions.approximately 4.2% for 2021.
In the Asia Pacific the IMF expects China’s economy to grow by 8.4% in 2021. Unemployment is expected to decline slightly to 3.6%.region, China’s central government has pledged to maintain continuity of macroeconomic policies during 2021. In addition, it2021 to support investment and growth in the post-pandemic period. Unemployment in the region’s largest economy has extended certain loan repayment deferral policies for smalldeclined to approximately 5.0%, similar to pre-pandemic levels. By the end of the second quarter, the Chinese central government was beginning to moderate credit support to business and medium businesses, aninfrastructure spending, a likely indication that it does not yet believe itsthe government believes the post pandemic economic recovery in the country is largely complete. Economists at the World Bank currently expect China’s economy to grow by 8.5% in 2021, fueled by pent-up domestic demand, as well as increasing export volumes.

In South America, the IMF estimatesBrazilian economy continues to face significant challenges from high COVID-19 infection rates, with the peak occurring during the second quarter of 2021. Unemployment in the country also rose to a record 14.7% in the quarter. Inflation rates increased to 8.6% in June 2021, the highest level since 2016. Despite these negative factors, the Brazilian economy is showing signs of growth as vaccinations against COVID-19 are now increasing and sections of the economy are beginning to re-open. Economists at the World Bank estimate that the Brazilian economy will grow by approximately 3.7%4.5% in 2021. Unemployment is expected to decline slightly to 10.6% from 11.4% in 2020. Despite the high unemployment rate and continuing regional outbreaks of COVID-19, Brazil is beginning to experience upward price pressures.

suggesting that aggressive monetary incentives are no longer necessary to support economic activity. Given the long history of political instability and economic volatility, we remain cautious for the mid to long-term economic outlook in the region.
Raw Materials
Our business is susceptible to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials which may place operational and profitability burdens on the entire supply chain. Costs related to raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and oil and oil-derived commodities, continue to be volatile. In addition, due to increases in commodity costs in the first half of 2021, we continue to expect commodity cost volatilitythese increases to have an impact on future earnings and operating cash flows.results in the second half of 2021. As such, on an ongoing basis, we work with our customers and 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. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, as a result of COVID-19, we experienced the shutdown of effectively all of our facilities coinciding with the shutdown of our customer facilities in all regions. Production subsequently resumed in all regions, at steadily increasing rates throughout the year. We collaborate closely with our customers as production volumes continue to increase and approach pre-COVID-19 levels, while also adhering to enhanced safety standards and measures to protect our employees.
In the first quarter of 2021 and continuing into the second quarter, OEM production volumes were disrupted by the global shortage of semiconductors, as well as weather-induced shutdowns in North America and the resulting chemical shortages.semiconductors. The shortage of semiconductors and chemicals has resulted in slowdowns and occasional stoppages in the final production of vehicles. While the supply issues are expected to improve in the second half of 2021, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2021, we are collaborating closely with our customers to minimize production inefficiencies while supporting their needs.

In North America and Europe, first quarter vehicle production declinedincreased significantly compared to the prior year period for both the second quarter and the first half of 2021, despite the impact of semiconductor supply issues in the current year. The semiconductor supply issues in 2021 resulted in shutdowns at certain facilities, particularly in North America, for brief periods of time, as compared to the widespread and lengthy facility shutdowns in 2020 due to the initial impacts of COVID-19. In Asia Pacific, vehicle production increased in the first half of 2021 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of semiconductor supply issues. In Asia Pacific, first quarter vehicle production increased significantly in 2021 compared to the prior year periodperiods primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 plant shutdowns in the prior year, which affected the region for much ofprimarily in the first quarter of 2020. The largest increases inDecreased vehicle production have been in China which has had strongin the second quarter of 2021 was the result of higher than normal vehicle production volumes since industry wide shutdowns in the prior year.year period as production facilities re-opened after COVID-19 closures and met pent-up demand. In South America, vehicle production slightlysignificantly increased, as the region continues steadyis approaching more normalized volume increases after industry wide shutdowns in the prior year.

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 10.9. “Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
We continue to actively preserve cash and enhance liquidity, including decreasing our capital expenditures. Based on those actions and current projections of 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, despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain issues facing the industry. 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 flows 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 used in operations was $7.1$60.7 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, compared to net cash used in operations of $2.0$126.2 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. The net outflowchange was primarily due to working capital outflows, partially offset byimprovements and higher cash earnings.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $36.3$52.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $50.1$62.1 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. The reduction was primarily due to lower capital expenditures. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, significant decreases in capital expenditures occurred throughout 2020.2020 and in the first and second quarters of 2021. We expect lower expenditures will continue in 2021, primarily as part of initiatives to consistently reduce overall capital spending. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $100 million to $125$115 million on capital expenditures in 2021.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.3$11.7 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $0.4$232.7 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. The inflow was primarily duein 2021 related to increases in short-term debt, duringwhile the three months ended March 31, 2021.inflow in 2020 was primarily due to proceeds from issuance of our Senior Secured Notes.
Share Repurchase Program
In June 2018, our Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program (the “2018 Program”) authorizing us to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by us and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. 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 March 31,June 30, 2021, we had approximately $98.7 million of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program.
We did not make any repurchases under the 2018 Program during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 or during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our operating performance. Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
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;
3035


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.
The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from net loss, which is the most comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP:
