NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation | |
Description of Business: Visteon Corporation (the “Company” or “Visteon”) is a global supplier of automotive systems, modules and components to global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan, Visteon has a workforce of approximately 29,000 employees and a network of manufacturing operations, technical centers and joint ventures in every major geographic region of the world with its operations organized by global product lines including Climate, Electronics and Interiors. | |
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company continued to progress it Shareholder Value Creation Plan initially announced in September 2012. On July 1, 2014, Visteon completed the acquisition of the automotive electronics business of Johnson Controls Inc. This acquisition is expected to enhance Visteon's competitive position in the fast-growing vehicle cockpit electronics segment by strengthening its global scale, manufacturing and engineering footprint, product portfolio and customer penetration. Net sales for the acquired business were approximately $1.3 billion for the annual period ended September 30, 2013. On a combined basis the Company's Electronics business is expected to have approximately $3 billion in annual revenue. Additional details are provided in Note 2 "Business Acquisitions." On November 1, 2014 the Company closed on the sale of a majority of its Interiors business subject to a May 1, 2014 master purchase agreement as amended and as more fully described in Note 3 "Interiors Divestiture". | |
Interim Financial Statements: The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. | |
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Management believes that such estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable and appropriate. However, due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual results may differ from those provided in the Company's consolidated financial statements. | |
Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. | |
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and over which the Company exercises control. Investments in affiliates of greater than 20% and for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise control are accounted for using the equity method. All other investments in affiliates are accounted for using the cost method. | |
Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents amounts designated for uses other than current operations and includes $10 million of collateral for the Letter of Credit Facility with US Bank National Association, and $2 million related to cash collateral for other corporate purposes at September 30, 2014. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-8, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity". This ASU changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and did not early adopt this standard for purposes of the discontinued operations disclosed in Note 3 "Interiors Divestiture". | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. |

Electronics Acquisition | ||||||||||||
On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the global automotive electronics business of Johnson Controls Inc. (the "Electronics Acquisition") for an aggregate purchase price of $295 million, including $31 million of cash and equivalents at the acquired business. The purchase price was funded with cash on hand and remains subject to adjustments as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The operating results for the business acquired have been included in the Electronics segment from the date of acquisition. Through the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $4 million and $9 million, respectively. These amounts were recorded as incurred and have been classified as Other expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. | ||||||||||||

NOTE 3. Interiors Divestiture | ||||||||||||||||
On May 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Master Purchase Agreement as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which,Visteon will reorganize substantially all of its global Interiors business under a newly-formed holding company (the “Reorganization”) and will sell all of the equity of that holding company (the “Interiors Divestiture”) in exchange for the assumption of certain liabilities related to the Company's Interiors business and the payment of nominal cash consideration. Visteon agreed to contribute up to $95 million (the "Cash Contribution") to the Interiors business and the Purchase Agreement includes net working capital adjustments whereby the Cash Contribution will be effectively adjusted based on the actual net working capital levels as of the closing date. Visteon also agreed to support the buyer in establishing external credit facilities. To the extent that $90 million of external credit facilities are not available to the Interiors business by the date of closing, Visteon is required to provide a seller-backed revolving credit facility in the amount of any shortfall. Draws under any such seller-backed facility will only be available if certain of the external credit facilities are fully drawn, and any draws on the seller-backed facility generally must be repaid prior to the repayment of the external credit facilities. The seller-backed facility will have a maturity of three years and will have a default rate of interest for any interest and/or principal payment defaults. | ||||||||||||||||
On November 1, 2014, the Company closed on the majority of the Interiors Divestiture (the "Master Closing") and completed the largest phase of the Interiors Divestiture to Reydel Automotive Holdings B.V., an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. In connection with the Master Closing, the Company made a cash payment of approximately $120 million, which included the $95 million Cash Contribution and adjustments primarily for working capital subject to further adjustments. The Company also agreed to provide a $56 million revolving credit facility in connection with the Master Closing, which is the shortfall to the agreed $90 million target in external financing arrangements. As transaction related customer purchase order changes are effected over the next several months, increasing the backing of the buyer implemented factoring facility, the seller backed facility is expected to be substantially reduced. The seller-backed facility obligation can also be reduced if the buyer adds working capital facilities in Russia and Thailand. Draws under this seller-backed facility will only be available if certain of the external credit facilities are fully drawn, and any draws on the seller-backed facility generally must be repaid prior to the repayment of the external credit facilities. The seller-backed facility has a maturity of three years and will have an interest rate of Libor plus 5%. | ||||||||||||||||
Additionally, as part of the Reorganization, Visteon will separate the portion of its Interiors business conducted through its facilities in Chennai and Pune, India into a new legal entity, which will be transferred to the holding company and sold to the buyer as part of the Interiors Divestiture. Due to the time required to effect such separation under Indian law, the consummation of the Indian portion of the Interiors Divestiture will occur subsequent to the Master Closing but is expected before December 31, 2014. The Thailand, Argentina and Brazil portions of the Interiors Divestiture will also occur subsequent to the Master Closing and are expected to close during the first quarter of 2015. The remaining transactions are subject to various conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approvals, receipt of other third party consents and approvals and other customary closing conditions, and may be subject to further cash impacts based on purchase price adjustments at the time of closing. The Company expects to record additional losses in connection with the Interiors Divestiture in future periods upon closing. The losses are estimated to range from $150 million to $200 million, of which the majority is likely to be recorded during the three months ending December 31, 2014 associated with the Master Closing. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company determined that assets and liabilities subject to the Interiors Divestiture met the "held for sale" criteria during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014. As the fair value of the assets and liabilities subject to the Interiors Divestiture was less than the carrying value, the long-lived assets were written down in their entirety, which resulted in an impairment loss of $15 million and $188 million in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Additionally, the held for sale Interiors assets and liabilities were reclassified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to Assets held for sale or Liabilities held for sale, respectively, as the sale of such assets and liabilities is expected to close within one year. Assets and liabilities held for sale are summarized as follows: | ||||||||||||||||

The short-term debt held for sale includes an arrangement through a subsidiary in France to sell accounts receivable with recourse on an uncommitted basis. The Company is required to fund any amounts outstanding under this facility as of the transaction close date. On November 1, 2014, in connection with the Master Closing, the Company funded the outstanding balance under this facility which was approximately $1 million. | ||||||||||||||||
Interiors Discontinued Operations | ||||||||||||||||
The operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture met conditions required to qualify for discontinued operations reporting as of June 30, 2014. Accordingly, the results of operations for Interiors business subject to the Interiors Divestiture have been reclassified to (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. While the Interiors Divestiture represents the substantial majority of the Company's Interiors operations, other operations previously reported within the Company's Interiors reporting segment were excluded from the scope of the Interiors Divestiture. These other operations have been classified within the Other reporting segment. Due to certain liabilities and capital requirements of the remaining business, Visteon may be required to contribute cash to such business in connection with any disposition and such amounts could be material. | ||||||||||||||||

Yanfeng Transactions | ' |
NOTE 4. Yanfeng Transactions | |
On August 12, 2013, Visteon entered into a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Huayu Automotive Systems Company Limited (“HASCO”), Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. (“Yanfeng”) and Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. (“YFVE”), pursuant to which, among other things, Visteon and HASCO agreed to modify their existing interests in automobile interiors and electronics joint ventures in the People’s Republic of China, including Yanfeng and YFVE. | |
On December 17, 2013, Visteon completed the sale of its 50% ownership interest in Yanfeng for cash proceeds of $928 million (before applicable taxes). On November 7, 2013, Visteon made a cash payment of $58 million to subscribe to an additional 11% ownership interest in YFVE, increasing Visteon's direct ownership interest in YFVE from a non-controlling 40% direct ownership interest to a controlling 51% direct ownership interest. From that date, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of YFVE have been consolidated into the Company's financial statements as part of the Electronics business unit. | |
As of September 30, 2014, and in accordance with the Master Agreement, YFVE completed the sale of its ownership interests in certain joint ventures to Yanfeng Visteon Electronics (China) Investment Co., Ltd. ("YFVIC") for cash proceeds of $37 million. No gains or losses were recorded on these transactions by YFVE due to the Company's 50% ownership interest in YFVIC. Differences between carrying value and proceeds on these investments, if any, have been deferred as a basis adjustment to the Company's investment in YFVIC. | |

On April 9, 2014, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company as borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto, each letter of credit issuer from time to time party thereto and Citibank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), which provides for (i) delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal of $600 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have granted a security interest in substantially all of their respective property, subject to certain limitations. | ||||||||
At the Company’s option, loans under the Term Facility and Revolving Facility may be maintained from time to time at an interest rate equal to the applicable rate (“Applicable Rate”) plus the applicable domestic rate (“Base Rate”) or the LIBOR-based rate (“Eurodollar Rate”). The Base Rate shall be a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the rate equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by federal funds brokers, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the following Business Day, plus 0.50%; (ii) the rate established by the Administrative Agent as its “prime rate” at its principal U.S. office and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate (which, for the purposes of establishing the Base Rate, shall not be less than 0.75%) plus 1%. The Eurodollar Rate shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited LIBOR Rate by (b) the difference between 1.00 and the reserve percentage under regulations issued from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States for determining the maximum reserve requirement with respect to Eurocurrency funding. The Applicable Rate varies based on certain corporate credit ratings at the time of borrowing, and ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% for Base Rate loans and 2.00% to 2.75% for Eurodollar Rate loans. | ||||||||
Up to $75 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and any such issuance of letters of credit will reduce the amount available for loans under the Revolving Facility. Up to $20 million of the Revolving Facility is available for swing line advances, and any such swing line advances will reduce the amount available for loans under the Revolving Facility. The Company may request increases in the limits under the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility and may request the addition of one or more term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
The Term Facility shall mature on April 9, 2021 (the “Term Facility Maturity Date”), and the Revolving Facility shall mature on April 9, 2019 (the “Revolving Facility Maturity Date”). Loans made under the Term Facility are due and payable in full on the Term Facility Maturity Date. Loans made under the Revolving Facility are due and payable in full on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. Outstanding borrowings may be prepaid without penalty (other than borrowings made for the purpose of reducing the effective interest rate margin or weighted average yield of the loans) in $100,000 increments over $500,000 for loans maintained under the Base Rate and in $250,000 increments over $1,000,000 for loans maintained under the Eurodollar Rate. In the event the Company makes a prepayment of the term loans in connection with a repricing transaction at any time prior to the six month anniversary of the closing date, the Company must pay a prepayment premium equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of term loans prepaid or repaid to the applicable lenders under the Term Facility. There are mandatory prepayments of principal in connection with: (i) excess cash flow sweeps (in the amount of 50%, with step downs to 25% and 0% of the excess cash flow, depending on the then-applicable leverage), (ii) certain asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation), (iii) certain refinancings of indebtedness and (iv) over-advances under the Revolving Facility. The Company is also required to repay quarterly 0.25% of the initial term loan drawn. | ||||||||
The Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants and contains customary events of default. The Term Facility and the Revolving Facility require that, as of the last day of any four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company last ended (commencing as of June 30, 2014), the Company maintain a total net leverage ratio no greater than 3.00:1.00 (the “Financial Maintenance Covenant”). During any period when the Company’s corporate and family ratings meet certain specified ratings, certain of the negative covenants shall be suspended and the Financial Maintenance Covenant shall only be tested with respect to the Revolving Facility. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenant. | ||||||||
All obligations under the Credit Agreement and obligations in respect of certain cash management services and swap agreements with the lenders and their affiliates are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. In connection with the Credit Agreement, on April 9, 2014, (i) the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), (ii) certain subsidiaries of the Company and the Administrative Agent entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”) and (iii) the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent entered into an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the “Intellectual Property Security Agreement” and, together with the Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, the “Security Documents”). Pursuant to the Security Documents, all obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority perfected lien (subject to certain exceptions) in substantially all of the property of the Company and the subsidiaries party to the Security Agreement, subject to certain limitations. | ||||||||
In connection with signing of the Credit Agreement, on April 9, 2014, the Company terminated its $130 million revolving loan credit agreement dated October 1, 2010.

On September 30, 2014, the company made its first mandatory repayment of 0.25% of the initial term loan or $1.5 million. As of September 30, 2014, $598.5 million face value was outstanding under the Term Facility, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. | ||||||||
6.75% Senior Notes Due April 15, 2019 | ||||||||
The Company's 6.75% senior notes due April 15, 2019 (the"Senior Notes"), were issued under an Indenture (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Indenture and the form of Senior Notes provide, among other things, that prior to April 15, 2014, the Company had the option to redeem up to 10% of the Senior Notes during any 12-month period from the issue date until April 15, 2014, for a 103% redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On April 10, 2014, the Company exercised this right and redeemed $50 million, or 10%, of its Senior Notes. Additionally, the Company had the option to redeem a portion or all of the Senior Notes beginning on April 15, 2014, for a 105.063% redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On April 9, 2014, the Company exercised this right and issued a call notice and redeemed the remaining $350 million of its Senior Notes on May 9, 2014. The Company recorded a $23 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, related to the premium paid on the debt redemption and unamortized original issue discount, debt fees and other debt issue costs associated with the Senior Notes. | ||||||||
HVCC Term Loans | ||||||||
During the first quarter of 2013, HVCC entered into and fully drew on two unsecured bilateral term loan credit agreements with aggregate available borrowings of approximately $195 million. As of September 30, 2014, the U.S. dollar ("USD") equivalent of these agreements was $195 million. Both credit agreements mature in May 2016, and are subject to financial covenants requiring total debt to EBITDA of not greater than 3.2x and a total interest coverage test of more than 3x. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at September 30, 2014. | ||||||||
Short-Term Debt | ||||||||
Short-term borrowings are primarily related to the Company's non-U.S. operations and are payable in various currencies. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had international affiliate short-term borrowings of $134 million, approximately $115 million of which is related to HVCC. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had international affiliate short-term borrowings of $104 million, approximately $68 million of which is related to HVCC. These borrowings are payable in both USD and non-USD currencies including, but not limited to, the Euro, Korean Won, Turkish Lira, and Chinese Yuan. | ||||||||
Short-term borrowings at December 31, 2013, include an arrangement, through a subsidiary in France, to sell accounts receivable with recourse on an uncommitted basis. The amount of financing available is dependent on the amount of receivables less customary reserves. The Company pays a 25 basis points servicing fee on all receivables sold, as well as a financing fee of three-month Euribor plus 95 basis points on the advanced portion. Outstanding borrowings under the facility at September 30, 2014 were $12 million with $30 million of receivables pledged as security, both of which were classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2013, there were $31 million outstanding borrowings under the facility with $52 million of receivables pledged as security. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company is required to fund any amounts outstanding under this facility as Master Closing of the Interiors Divestiture. On November 1, 2014, in connection with the Master Closing, the Company funded the outstanding balance under this facility which was approximately $1 million. | ||||||||
Fair Value of Debt | ||||||||
The Company's fair value of debt excluding debt included in Liabilities held for sale was approximately $978 million and $755 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Fair value estimates were based on quoted market prices or current rates for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Accordingly, the Company's debt fair value disclosures are classified as Level 1, "Market Prices" and Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy, respectively. |

Annuity Purchase | ||||||||||||||||
On July 22, 2014, the Company purchased a non-participating annuity contract from Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) for certain participants under the U.S. defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”). The annuity purchase covered approximately 3,900 participants and resulted in the settlement of approximately $350 million of the outstanding pension benefit obligation (“PBO”) under the Plan and recognized a settlement gain of $25 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014. This gain is the pro-rata portion of the existing unamortized gain in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") and was calculated based on the percentage of the Plan's PBO that was settled as part of the annuity purchase. Prudential has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the full payment of benefits to plan participants associated with the annuity purchase and benefits payment will be in the same form that was in effect under the Plan. Prudential has also assumed all investment risk associated with the assets that were delivered as annuity contract premiums. |

Income Taxes | ' | |||
NOTE 14. Income Taxes | ||||
During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $22 million and $94 million, respectively, which includes income tax expense in countries where the Company is profitable, withholding taxes, changes in uncertain tax benefits, and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions due to valuation allowances. Pre-tax losses from continuing operations in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are maintained and no income tax benefits are recognized totaled $51 million and $44 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, resulting in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate in those years. | ||||
The Company provides for U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the projected future repatriations of the earnings from its non-U.S. operations that are not considered permanently reinvested at each tier of the legal entity structure. During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized expense of $3 million and $4 million, respectively, reflecting the Company's forecasts which contemplate numerous financial and operational considerations that impact future repatriations. | ||||
The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against income before income taxes, excluding equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the period. Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate calculations are performed for those countries where the Company's operations are profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax valuation allowances exist and are maintained. The Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain other non-recurring tax items, including changes in judgments about valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, and changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. | ||||
The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will continue to cause variability in the Company's quarterly and annual effective tax rates. Full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them. The factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to, recent adjusted historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. As part of the Electronics Acquisition, an existing Visteon legal entity in Mexico with substantial net operating loss carryforward attributes for which a valuation allowance was previously recorded acquired a portion of the operations in Mexico. Management projects the combined results from the acquired business should result in the partial utilization of the existing net operating loss carryforward attributes prior to their expiration, and consequently, the Company recognized a tax benefit through continuing operations of $5 million related to the partial elimination of the valuation allowance during the third quarter of 2014. | ||||
Unrecognized Tax Benefits | ||||
Gross unrecognized tax benefits were $83 million at September 30, 2014, and $73 million at December 31, 2013, of which approximately $38 million and $30 million, respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefit differs from that which would impact the effective tax rate due to uncertain tax positions embedded in other deferred tax attributes carrying a full valuation allowance. Since the uncertainty is expected to be resolved while a full valuation allowance is maintained, these uncertain tax positions should not impact the effective tax rate in current or future periods. The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions in income tax expense and related amounts accrued at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $27 million and $23 million, respectively. | ||||
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2009 or state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2003. Although it is not possible to predict the timing of the resolution of all ongoing tax audits with accuracy, it is reasonably possible that certain tax proceedings in the U.S. and Asia (including Korea) could conclude within the next twelve months and result in a significant increase or decrease in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits. | ||||
A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits, including amounts attributable to discontinued operations, is as follows: | ||||

During 2012, South Korean tax authorities commenced a review of the Company's South Korean affiliates (including Halla) for tax years 2007 through 2012, and issued formal notice of assessments, including penalties, of approximately $25 million for alleged underpayment of withholding tax on dividends paid and other items, including certain management service fees charged by Visteon. The Company's South Korean affiliates have paid approximately $25 million to the tax authorities in 2013 and 2012, as required under South Korean tax regulations, to pursue the appeals process. During the third quarter of 2014, the tax authorities refunded approximately $11 million to the Company's South Korean affiliates, comprised of $5 million representing substantially all of the tax associated with the management service fees charged by Visteon and $6 million representing a partial refund related to withholding tax on dividends paid. The Company continues to evaluate all available settlement opportunities, including litigation related to the outstanding items and believes that it is more likely than not that it will receive a favorable outcome. | ||||
During 2012, Brazilian tax authorities issued tax assessment notices to Visteon Sistemas Automotivos (“Sistemas”) of approximately $15 million related to the sale of its chassis business to a third party. During 2013, after attempts to reopen an appeal of the administrative decision failed, Sistemas opened a judicial proceeding against the government to address the notice which required a deposit in the amount of the assessment in order to suspend the debt and allow Sistemas to operate regularly before the tax authorities. The Company believes that the risk of a negative outcome is remote once the matter is fully litigated at the highest judicial level. These appeal payments in South Korea and Brazil, as well as contingent income tax refund claims associated with other jurisdictions, including applicable accrued interest income, totaled $34 million as of September 30, 2014, and were included in Other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. |

Share Repurchase Program | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Since July 2012, the Company's board of directors has authorized a total of $1.175 billion in share repurchases. On May 8, 2014, the Company announced an accelerated stock buyback ("ASB") program with a third-party financial institution to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Under the program, the Company paid the financial institution $500 million and received an initial delivery of 3,394,157 shares of common stock using a reference price of $92.07, and an additional delivery of 1,129,001 shares of common stock following the conclusion of the hedge period which determined a certain minimum amount of shares guaranteed under a portion of the program that had a maximum per share price of $100.54. The final settlement will be generally based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock over a period of up to approximately 12 months, less a negotiated discount, 50 percent of which will be subject to a maximum per share price. On October 15, 2014, the capped portion of the program concluded, and the Company received an additional 112,269 shares. As of September 30, 2014, $375 million remained authorized and available for repurchase through December 31, 2015. The Company anticipates that additional repurchases of common stock, if any, would occur from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions depending on market and economic conditions, share price, trading volume, alternative uses of capital and other. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

NOTE 16. Earnings Per Share | ||||||||||||||||
The Company uses the two-class method in computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Visteon, after deducting undistributed income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding after deducting undistributed income allocated to participating securities. Performance based share units are considered contingently issuable shares, and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period and if the result would be dilutive. The table below provides details underlying the calculations of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share: | ||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
NOTE 17. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial assets and liabilities are categorized, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three-levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends and investments in subsidiaries. Where possible, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including forward and option contracts, to protect the Company’s cash flow from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed monthly and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company’s primary hedged foreign currency exposures include the Euro, Korean Won, Czech Koruna, Hungarian Forint, Indian Rupee and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had forward contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $662 million and $625 million, respectively. Fair value estimates of these contracts are based on quoted market prices and other observable inputs. A portion of these instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of the gain or loss reported in the AOCI component of Stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The ineffective portion of these instruments is recorded as Cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Foreign currency hedge instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under an income approach using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the under lying and non-performance risk. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Accordingly, the Company's foreign currency instruments are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial Statement Presentation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Concentrations of Credit Risk | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial instruments including cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative contracts, and accounts receivable, expose the Company to counter-party credit risk for non-performance. The Company’s counterparties for cash equivalents, marketable securities and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company’s requirement of high credit standing. The Company’s counterparties for derivative contracts are investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counter-party and through monitoring counter-party credit risks. The Company’s concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, is not material. With the exceptions below, the Company’s credit risk with any individual customer does not exceed ten percent of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring 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 non-recurring basis. As further described in Note 2, "Business Acquisitions", the Company utilized a third party to assist in the fair value determination of the preliminary purchase price allocations for the Electronics Acquisition, the Thermal Acquisition and the JCS-Nanjing controlling interest acquisition. Management’s allocation of fair values to asset and liabilities was completed through a combination of cost, market and income approaches. These fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As further described in Note 3, "Interiors Divestiture", the fair value of the assets and liabilities subject to the Interiors Divestiture was less than the carrying value. As a result, the long-lived assets were reduced to zero and impairment loss of $15 million and $188 million were recorded in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively. As the impairment was determined using other observable inputs, the fair value measurements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |

Litigation and Claims | ||||||||
In 2003, the Local Development Finance Authority of the Charter Township of Van Buren, Michigan (the “Township”) issued approximately $28 million in bonds maturing in 2032, the proceeds of which were used at least in part to assist in the development of the Company’s U.S. headquarters located in the Township. During January 2010, the Company and the Township entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that, among other things, reduced the taxable value of the headquarters property to current market value and facilitated certain claims of the Township in the Company’s chapter 11 proceedings. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the Company would continue to negotiate in good faith with the Township in the event that property tax payments were inadequate to permit the Township to meet its payment obligations with respect to the bonds. In September 2013, the Township notified the Company in writing that it is estimating a shortfall in tax revenues of between $25 million and $36 million, which could render it unable to satisfy its payment obligations under the bonds, but made no specific monetary demand of the Company. The Company disputes the factual and legal assertions made by the Township and intends to vigorously defend the matter should the Township seek to commence a legal proceeding against the Company. The Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter. | ||||||||
On March 29, 2012, the Korean Supreme Court ruled that regular bonuses should be included for purposes of calculating the ordinary wage of applicable employees, which was contrary to previous legal precedent and the position of the Korean Ministry of Employment and Labor. On December 18, 2013, the Korean Supreme Court issued an en banc decision clarifying that (i) regular bonuses should be included for purposes of calculating such ordinary wage, and (ii) certain incentive pay and family allowances may also be included for purposes of calculating such ordinary wage if they were paid to employees as consideration for the labor actually provided by them. The court also indicated that employers could be excused from liability for excluding such regular bonuses from ordinary wages where an express or implied management-labor agreement or practice to exclude such amounts existed and to require such payment would cause “serious managerial difficulty.” The Company is evaluating the potential financial impact of these new court rulings, and is not able to determine at this time whether it will have a material impact on the results of operations and cash flows of its South Korean subsidiaries. In addition, on May 24, 2013, Halla Visteon Climate Control Union in Korea, representing 891 hourly employees of HVCC, filed a legal petition with Seoul Southern District Court, claiming unpaid statutory benefits for the past three years based on the initial Supreme Court ruling. At a hearing held on September 26, 2014, the plaintiffs submitted a final revised claim amount of approximately 44 billion Korean won (approximately $42 million). The Company is in the process of evaluating these claims, but at this time is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter. | ||||||||
In November 2013, the Company and HVCC, jointly filed an Initial Notice of Voluntary Self-Disclosure statement with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regarding certain sales of automotive HVAC components by a minority-owned, Chinese joint venture of HVCC into Iran. The Company updated that notice in December 2013, and subsequently filed a voluntary self-disclosure regarding these sales with OFAC in March 2014. In May 2014, the Company voluntarily filed a supplementary self-disclosure identifying additional sales of automotive HVAC components by the Chinese joint venture, as well as similar sales involving an HVCC subsidiary in China, totaling approximately $12 million, and filed a final voluntary-self disclosure with OFAC on October 17, 2014. OFAC is currently reviewing the results of the Company’s investigation. Following that review, OFAC may conclude that the disclosed sales resulted in violations of U.S. economic sanctions laws and warrant the imposition of civil penalties, such as fines, limitations on the Company's ability to export products from the United States, and/or referral for further investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. Any such fines or restrictions may be material to the Company’s financial results in the period in which they are imposed, but at this time is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter. Additionally, disclosure of this conduct and any fines or other action relating to this conduct could harm the Company’s reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The Company cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its own review of our voluntary self-disclosures or whether it may impose any of the potential penalties described above. | ||||||||
Toyota Industries Corporation ("TICO") filed a patent infringement claim with the Seoul Central District Court on March 18, 2014, requesting HVCC to discontinue production of its RS compressors and dispose of inventories and manufacturing facilities. HVCC received the original of TICO's claim submission on March 31, 2014, and is planning to file for a patent invalidation trial before the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal in response. The Company is in the process of evaluating these claims, but at this time is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter. | ||||||||
The Company's operations in Brazil are subject to highly complex labor, tax, customs and other laws. While the Company believes that it is in compliance with such laws, it is periodically engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws. As of September 30, 2014, the Company maintained accruals of approximately $10 million for claims aggregating approximately $143 million. The amounts accrued represent claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the Company's assessment of the claims and prior experience with similar matters. | ||||||||
Several current and former employees of Visteon Deutschland GmbH (“Visteon Germany”) filed civil actions against Visteon Germany in various German courts beginning in August 2007, seeking damages for the alleged violation of German pension laws that prohibit the use of pension benefit formulas that differ for salaried and hourly employees without adequate justification. Several of these actions have been joined as pilot cases. In a written decision issued in April 2010, the Federal Labor Court issued a declaratory judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the pilot cases. To date, more than 750 current and former employees have filed similar actions or have inquired as to or been granted additional benefits, and an additional 600 current and former employees are similarly situated. The Company's remaining reserve for unsettled cases is approximately $8 million and is based on the Company’s best estimate as to the number and value of the claims that will be made in connection with the pension plan. However, the Company’s estimate is subject to many uncertainties which could result in Visteon Germany incurring amounts in excess of the reserved amount up to approximately $9 million. | ||||||||
On May 28, 2009, the Company filed voluntary petitions in the Court seeking reorganization relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and continued to operate as debtors-in-possession until emergence on October 1, 2010. Substantially all pre-petition liabilities and claims relating to rejected executory contracts and unexpired leases have been settled under the plan of reorganization, however, the ultimate amounts to be paid in settlement of each those claims will continue to be subject to the uncertain outcome of litigation, negotiations and Bankruptcy Court decisions for a period of time after the emergence date. | ||||||||
In December of 2009, the Court granted the Debtors' motion in part authorizing them to terminate or amend certain other postretirement employee benefits, including health care and life insurance. On December 29, 2009, the IUE-CWA, the Industrial Division of the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, CLC, filed a notice of appeal of the Court's order with the District Court. By order dated March 31, 2010, the District Court affirmed the Court's order in all respects. On April 1, 2010, the IUE filed a notice of appeal. On July 13, 2010, the Circuit Court reversed the order of the District Court as to the IUE-CWA and directed the District Court to, among other things, direct the Court to order the Company to take whatever action is necessary to immediately restore terminated or modified benefits to their pre-termination/modification levels. On July 27, 2010, the Company filed a Petition for Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc requesting that the Circuit Court review the panel’s decision, which was denied. By orders dated August 30, 2010, the Court ruled that the Company should restore certain other postretirement employee benefits to the appellant-retirees and also to salaried retirees and certain retirees of the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”). | ||||||||
On September 1, 2010, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the District Court of the Court's decision to include non-appealing retirees, and on September 15, 2010, the UAW filed a Notice of Cross-Appeal. On July 25, 2012, the District Court ruled in favor of the Company on both appeals, and the UAW appealed this ruling to the Circuit Court. On August 28, 2014, the Circuit Court affirmed the District Court's rulings. The UAW filed a petition for rehearing, which the Circuit Court denied on October 2, 2014. The Company reached an agreement with the original appellants in late-September 2010, which resulted in the Company not restoring other postretirement employee benefits of such retirees. On September 30, 2010, the UAW filed a complaint, which it amended on October 1, 2010, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment to prohibit the Company from terminating certain other postretirement employee benefits for UAW retirees after October 1, 2010. The parties reached a preliminary settlement agreement in January 2013, but it was later terminated by the plaintiffs. On October 22, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan issued an order denying the Company's motion to dismiss the UAW's complaint and granted its motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The UAW filed a petition for a writ of mandamus with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, requesting the court vacate the transfer of the case. In May 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit denied the UAW's petition. The UAW requested a panel rehearing or rehearing en banc, which was denied by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on August 13, 2014. On October 1, 2014, the Company filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings before the Delaware District Court. As of September 30, 2014, the Company maintains an accrual for claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable. | ||||||||
While the Company believes its accruals for litigation and claims are adequate, the final amounts required to resolve such matters could differ materially from recorded estimates and the Company's results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected. | ||||||||
Product Warranty and Recall | ||||||||
Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts that will ultimately be required to settle such items. The Company’s estimates for product warranty and recall obligations are developed with support from its sales, engineering, quality and legal functions and include due consideration of contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims and related information, production changes, industry and regulatory developments and various other considerations. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers. The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the product warranty and recall claims liability for the selected periods: | ||||||||

Environmental Matters | ||||||||
The Company is subject to the requirements of federal, state, local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations and ordinances. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge and waste management. The Company is also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at properties it presently owns or operates and at third-party disposal or treatment facilities to which these sites send or arranged to send hazardous waste. The Company is aware of contamination at some of its properties. These sites are in various stages of investigation and cleanup. The Company currently is, has been, and in the future may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures. | ||||||||
Costs related to environmental assessments and remediation efforts at operating facilities, previously owned or operated facilities, or other waste site locations are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are recorded at undiscounted amounts, based on experience and assessments, and are regularly evaluated. The liabilities are recorded in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2014, the Company has recorded a reserve of approximately $1 million for environmental matters. However, estimating liabilities for environmental investigation and cleanup is complex and dependent upon a number of factors beyond the Company’s control and which may change dramatically. Accordingly, although the Company believes its reserve is adequate based on current information, the Company cannot provide any assurance that its ultimate environmental investigation and cleanup costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current reserve. | ||||||||
Other Contingent Matters | ||||||||
Various legal actions, governmental investigations and proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company, including those arising out of alleged defects in the Company’s products; governmental regulations relating to safety; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; product warranties; product recalls; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing matters may involve compensatory, punitive or antitrust or other treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, or other relief which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The Company enters into agreements that contain indemnification provisions in the normal course of business for which the risks are considered nominal and impracticable to estimate. | ||||||||
Contingencies are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Reserves have been established by the Company for matters discussed in the immediately foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of amounts, that cannot be estimated at September 30, 2014, and that are in excess of established reserves. The Company does not reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, based on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible. |

NOTE 19. Segment Information | ||||||||||||||||
The Company’s reportable segments are as follows: | ||||||||||||||||
• | Climate - The Company’s Climate product line includes climate air handling modules, powertrain cooling modules, heat exchangers, compressors, fluid transport and engine induction systems. | |||||||||||||||
• | Electronics - The Company’s Electronics product line includes audio systems, infotainment systems, driver information systems, connectivity and telematics solutions, climate controls, and electronic control modules. | |||||||||||||||
• | Other - The Company’s Other product line includes certain South America programs and European operations previously associated with the Interiors business but not subject to discontinued operations classification. | |||||||||||||||
Financial results for the Company's reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision-making group in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision making group, comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments primarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measure) and operating assets. | ||||||||||||||||
On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the global automotive electronics business of Johnson Controls Inc., whose operating results are included in the Electronics segment from the date of acquisition. In August 2014, HVCC completed its purchase of the automotive thermal and emissions product line of Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. and the operating results of the business acquired are included in the Climate segment from the date of acquisition. | ||||||||||||||||

Segment Adjusted EBITDA | ||||||||||||||||
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, asset impairments, gains or losses on divestitures, net restructuring expenses and other reimbursable costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain employee charges and benefits, reorganization items and other non-operating gains and losses. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA includes the impacts of discontinued operations for all periods presented. | ||||||||||||||||
Through December 31, 2013, the Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA was inclusive of net income attributable to non-controlling interests and equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates. Following the December 17, 2013, disposition of its 50% ownership interest in Yanfeng, the Company modified its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude net income attributable to non-controlling interests and equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational performance of the Company's operating segments. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods has been recast on basis consistent with the current definition. | ||||||||||||||||
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies and (iii) because the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants. | ||||||||||||||||
