TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. | Description of Business |
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (also referred to herein as the “Company”) is among the world’s largest and most diversified suppliers of automotive systems, modules and components to global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and related aftermarkets. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries. These operations primarily encompass the design, manufacture and sale of active and passive safety related products. Active safety related products principally refer to vehicle dynamic controls (primarily braking and steering), and passive safety related products principally refer to occupant restraints (primarily airbags and seat belts) and safety electronics (electronic control units and crash and occupant weight sensors). The Company is primarily a “Tier 1” supplier (a supplier that sells to OEMs). In 2009, approximately 85% of the Company’s end-customer sales were to major OEMs.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2010.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Operating results for the three and six months ended July 2, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
The Company follows a fiscal calendar that ends on December 31. However, each fiscal quarter has three periods consisting of one five week period and two four week periods. Each quarterly period ends on a Friday, with the possible exception of the final quarter of the year, which always ends on December 31.
Earnings (Losses) Per Share. Basic earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing net earnings (losses) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (losses) per share reflect the weighted average impact of all potentially dilutive securities from the date of issuance, including stock options, restricted stock units and stock-settled stock appreciation rights. Further, if the inclusion of shares potentially issuable for the Company’s 3.50% exchangeable senior unsecured notes (see Note 11) is more dilutive than the inclusion of the interest expense for those exchangeable notes, the Company utilizes the “if-converted” method to calculate diluted earnings per share. Under the if-converted method, the Company adjusts net earnings to add back interest expense and amortization of the discount recognized on the exchangeable notes and includes the number of shares potentially issuable related to the exchangeable notes in the weighted average shares outstanding.
If the average market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price of outstanding stock options, the treasury stock method is used to determine the incremental number of shares to be included in the diluted earnings per share computation.

(1) | | In August 2009, the Company issued 16.1 million shares of its common stock in a public offering, which are included in the weighted average shares outstanding for 2010. |
For the three and six months ended July 2, 2010, a de minimis number of securities and 1.4 million securities, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion of such securities in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended July 3, 2009, 9.4 million securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the inclusion of such securities in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss.
Warranties. Product warranty liabilities are recorded based upon management estimates including factors such as the written agreement with the customer, the length of the warranty period, the historical performance of the product, likely changes in performance of newer products and the mix and volume of products sold. Product warranty liabilities are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted to reflect actual experience.

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which amends Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 855. ASUNo. 2010-09 conforms the guidance in ASC 855 for SEC filers to match subsequent event guidance issued by the SEC. The adoption of ASUNo. 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820),” which amends ASC 820. ASUNo. 2010-06 requires disclosure of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy beginning on January 1, 2010. ASUNo. 2010-06 further requires entities to report, on a gross basis, activity in the Level 3 fair value measurement reconciliation beginning on January 1, 2011. The adoption of the 2010 provisions of ASUNo. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation 46(R) (FIN 46(R)),” which has been codified as ASUNo. 2009-17. ASUNo. 2009-17 requires that the assessment of whether an entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) must be performed on an ongoing basis. ASUNo. 2009-17 also requires that the assessment to determine if an entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE must be qualitative in nature, and eliminates the quantitative

assessment required in ASC 810. The adoption of ASUNo. 2009-17 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an Amendment of SFAS No. 140,” which has been codified as ASUNo. 2009-16. ASUNo. 2009-16 eliminates the concept of a qualified special-purpose entity from GAAP. ASUNo. 2009-16 also clarifies the language surrounding when a transferor of financial assets has surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. ASUNo. 2009-16 establishes additional guidelines for the recognition of a sale related to the transfer of a portion of a financial asset, and requires that all transfers be measured at fair value. The adoption of ASUNo. 2009-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In October 2009, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” which amends ASC 605. ASUNo. 2009-13 establishes a selling price hierarchy of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), followed by third party evidence, followed by estimated selling price for the good or service, in that order. ASUNo. 2009-13 is effective, on a prospective basis, for revenue arrangements entered into for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASUNo. 2009-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

6. | Accounts Receivable Facilities |
In March 2009, the Company, through one of its European subsidiaries, entered into a receivables factoring arrangement in Italy. This €40 million program is renewable annually, if not terminated. As of July 2, 2010, the Company did not have any factored receivables under the program and €36 million remained available for funding.
The Company had certain other receivables programs in place during 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, all of which were terminated prior to the end of the first quarter of 2010. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2009, the Company recorded $1 million and $2 million of expense, respectively, related to its accounts receivable facilities.
The Company is required to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.
Income tax expense for the three months ended July 2, 2010 was $52 million on pre-tax earnings of $289 million and income tax expense for the six months ended July 2, 2010 was $102 million on pre-tax earnings of $552 million. Income tax expense for both periods includes net tax benefits of $10 million relating to the favorable resolution of various tax matters in foreign jurisdictions. Income tax expense for the three months ended July 3, 2009 was $14 million on pre-tax earnings of $8 million. Income tax expense for the six months ended July 3, 2009 was $9 million on pre-tax losses of $126 million and included $13 million of tax expense that was recorded in establishing a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets of certain subsidiaries. As of July 2, 2010, the income tax rate varies from the United States statutory income tax rate due primarily to results in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions that are currently in a valuation allowance position for which pre-tax earnings or losses do not result in the recognition of a corresponding income tax expense or benefit, as well as favorable foreign tax rates, holidays, and credits.
The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or whenever events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence. 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. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax assets in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions.
There is no income tax benefit recognized with respect to losses incurred and no income tax expense recognized with respect to earnings generated in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance. This causes variability in our effective tax rate. The Company intends to maintain the valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. If operating results improve or deteriorate on a sustained basis, our conclusions regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the reversal or initial recognition of a valuation allowance in the future, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods.
The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world and the income tax returns of several subsidiaries in various tax jurisdictions are currently under examination. Although it is not possible to predict the timing of the conclusions of all ongoing tax audits with accuracy, it is possible that some or all of these examinations will conclude within the next 12 months. It is also reasonably possible that certain statute of limitations may expire

relating to various foreign jurisdictions within the next 12 months. As such, it is possible that a reduction in the gross unrecognized tax benefits may occur; however, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the effect this may have upon the gross unrecognized tax benefits.
On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law and on March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was also signed into law in the United States. These bills will reduce the tax deduction available to the Company to the extent it receives the Medicare Part D subsidy. Although this legislation does not take effect until 2012, the Company is required to recognize the impact in the financial statements in the period in which it is signed. Due to the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets in the United States this will not impact the Company’s 2010 effective tax rate.

9. | Fair Value Measurements |
The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are prioritized into a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs, as follows:
Level 1. The Company utilizes the market approach to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The market approach pertains to transactions in active markets involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Level 2. The fair values determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data under the market approach. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities (risk adjusted), and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.
Level 3. The Company utilizes the income approach or the cost approach, as appropriate, to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is derived principally from unobservable inputs from the Company’s own assumptions about market risk, developed based on the best information available, subject to cost-benefit analysis, and may include the Company’s own data. When there are no observable comparables, inputs used to determine value are derived from Company-
14

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
specific inputs, such as projected financial data and the Company’s own views about the assumptions that market participants would use.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair value measurements for assets and liabilities recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

Commodity contracts — noncurrent liability | | | 5 | | | | 5 | | | | Level 2 | | | | 9 | | | | 9 | |
| | |
* | | Not applicable, as the Company had no commodity contracts in a current asset position as of July 2, 2010. |
The carrying value of fixed rate short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments, and the carrying value of the Company’s floating rate short-term debt instruments approximates fair value because of the variable interest rates pertaining to those instruments.
The fair value of long-term debt was determined primarily from quoted market prices, as provided by participants in the secondary marketplace. For long-term debt without a quoted market price the Company computed the fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
The Company calculates the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts, commodity contracts, and interest rate swap contracts using quoted currency forward rates, quoted commodity forward rates, and quoted interest rate curves, respectively, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values.
The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates. For contracts which, when aggregated by counterparty, are in a liability position, the rates are adjusted by the credit spread which market participants would apply if buying these contracts from the Company’s counterparties.
There were no changes in the Company’s valuation techniques during the six months ended July 2, 2010.
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 also has assets and liabilities in its balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the table above. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets, including investments in affiliates, which are written down to fair value as a result of impairment (see Note 4 for impairments of intangible assets and
15
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Note 12 for impairments of long-lived assets), asset retirement obligations, and restructuring liabilities (see Note 12).
The Company has determined that the fair value measurements related to each of these assets and liabilities rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s assumptions about the use of the assets and settlement of liabilities, as observable inputs are not available. As such, the Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company utilizes the projected cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived assets, then discounts the future cash flows over the useful life of the long-lived assets. For asset retirement obligations, the Company determines the fair value of the expected expense to be incurred at the time the asset retirement obligation is settled, then determines the present value of the expense using a risk-adjusted rate for the Company. For restructuring obligations, the amount recorded represents the fair value of the payments expected to be made, and are discounted if the payments are expected to extend beyond one year.
As of July 2, 2010, the Company had $21 million and $11 million of restructuring accruals and asset retirement obligations, respectively, which were measured at fair value upon initial recognition of the associated liability. For the six month period ended July 2, 2010, the Company recorded asset impairments of $1 million associated with its determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets that exhibited indicators of impairment.

10. | Financial Instruments |
The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed through derivative financial instruments and hedging activities are foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities are utilized to protect the Company’s cash flow from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices as well as to manage interest costs. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed monthly and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from changes in London Inter-Bank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”). Although the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the derivative financial instruments, the Company attempts to limit this exposure by entering into agreements directly with a number of major financial institutions that meet the Company’s credit standards and that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. As of July 2, 2010, the Company had a notional value of $1.1 billion in foreign exchange contracts outstanding and $75 million in interest rate swap agreements outstanding. Due to industry conditions and TRW’s credit ratings, the Company’s ability to increase the notional amount of its hedge portfolio may be limited.
The Company enters into forward contracts to hedge portions of its foreign currency denominated forecasted revenues, purchases and the subsequent cash flows after maximizing natural offsets within the consolidated group. These forward contracts mature at various dates through September 2012.
Cash Flow Hedges. For any derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of OCI, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period, or periods, during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings. Approximately $3 million of gains, net of tax, which are included in OCI are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months.
Fair Value Hedges. For any derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the underlying hedged item is recognized in current earnings.

The Company utilizes a central treasury center (“treasury group”) to hedge its foreign currency exposure. The members of the consolidated group enter into intercompany derivative hedging instruments (“intercompany derivatives”) with the treasury group. To qualify the intercompany derivatives for hedge accounting, the treasury group offsets the exposure arising from these intercompany derivatives on a net basis for each foreign currency through derivative contracts entered into with unrelated third parties.
Members of the consolidated group initially designate intercompany derivatives as cash flow hedges. The treasury group, who is the counterparty to the intercompany derivatives, does not designate the intercompany derivatives as hedging instruments. The fair value of these intercompany derivatives is not included in the table above as they are eliminated in consolidation. A net intercompany asset of $2 million related to contracts designated as hedging instruments by members of the consolidated group was eliminated against a net intercompany liability of $2 million related to these same contracts not designated as hedging instruments by the Company’s treasury group. The contracts entered into with unrelated third parties are included in the table above as derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

Senior Notes
8.875% Senior Notes. In November 2009, the Company issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior unsecured notes due 2017 (the “8.875% Senior Notes”) in a private placement. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year.
2007 Senior Notes. In March 2007, the Company issued 7% senior unsecured notes and 63/8% senior unsecured notes, each due 2014, in principal amounts of $500 million and €275 million, respectively, and 71/4% senior unsecured notes due 2017 in the principal amount of $600 million (collectively, the “2007 Senior Notes”) in a private placement. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year.
During the six months ended July 3, 2009, the Company entered into transactions to repurchase portions of its senior unsecured notes and recorded a gain on retirement of debt of $41 million, including the write-off of a portion of debt issuance costs and premiums. The repurchased notes were retired upon settlement. As market conditions warrant, the Company may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by the Company or its subsidiaries, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, exchange offer, or by other means.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
Exchangeable Senior Notes. In November 2009, the Company issued approximately $259 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.50% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the “Exchangeable Senior Notes”) in a private placement. Prior to September 1, 2015, the notes are exchangeable only upon specified events and, thereafter, at any time based upon an initial exchange rate of 33.8392 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to approximately $29.55 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment. Upon exchange, the Company’s exchange obligation may be settled, at its option, in shares of its stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of its stock. Interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Exchangeable Senior Notes will mature on December 1, 2015, unless earlier exchanged, repurchased by the Company at the holder’s option upon a fundamental change, or redeemed by the Company after December 6, 2013, at the Company’s option if certain conditions are met.

TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
The Exchangeable Senior Notes were recorded with a debt discount which decreased debt and increasedpaid-in-capital in order to separate the liability and embedded equity components. The debt component will accrete up to the principal amount to effectively yield 9.0% over the term of the debt. The debt discount as of July 2, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $60 million and $64 million, respectively. The total interest expense recognized for the three and six months ended July 2, 2010 was approximately $5 million and $9 million, respectively, including $3 million and $5 million, respectively, relating to the stated coupon rate.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
In December 2009, the Company entered into its Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2009 (the “Seventh Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto. The Seventh Credit Agreement amended certain provisions of the Company’s previous credit agreement, including the interest coverage ratio covenant and applicable margins, as well as certain other covenants applicable to the Company. The Seventh Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility in the amount of $1,256 million, of which $411 million matures May 9, 2012 (the “2012 Portion of the Revolving Credit Facility”) and $845 million matures November 30, 2014, subject to certain conditions described below (the “2014 Portion of the Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the 2012 Portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) a $225 millionTranche A-2 Term Loan Facility (the “Term LoanA-2”), and (iii) a $175 millionTranche B-3 Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan B-3” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term LoanA-2, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).
The Seventh Credit Agreement provides for the Term LoanA-2 and the Term Loan B-3 to amortize 1% per annum in equal quarterly installments, which began March 31, 2010, with the remaining balance due at maturity on May 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, subject to earlier maturity on December 13, 2013, if (i) the Company has not refinanced its senior unsecured notes due 2014 with debt maturing after August 31, 2016 or (ii) the Company does not then have liquidity available to repay the senior unsecured notes due 2014 plus at least $500 million of additional liquidity. The 2014 Portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is also subject to earlier maturity on December 13, 2013 under the same circumstances.
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company optionally repaid $100 million of its Term Loan B-3 outstanding balance with cash on hand. In addition, during the second quarter of 2010, the Company optionally repaid the remaining Term Loan B-3 outstanding balance of $75 million and optionally repaid $75 million of the Term LoanA-2 outstanding balance with cash on hand. As a result of the optional repayments, the Company has no future amortization payments through the maturity date of the Term LoanA-2, subject to the aforementioned early maturity provisions. For the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2010, the Company recorded a loss on retirement of debt of $1 million primarily related to the write-off of deferred financing fees.
The commitment fee and the applicable margin for borrowing on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are subject to leverage-based grids. The applicable margin in effect as of July 2, 2010 for the 2012 portion of Revolving Credit Facility was 3.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 4.75% with respect to eurocurrency borrowings. The applicable margin in effect as of July 2, 2010 for the 2014 portion of Revolving Credit Facility and the Term LoanA-2 was 2.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.75% with respect to eurocurrency borrowings. The commitment fee on the undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.50%.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of TRW Automotive Inc. (“TAI”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TRW Automotive Holdings Corp., and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries, including a pledge of 100% of the stock of TAI and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries owned directly by domestic entities. In addition, foreign borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be secured by assets of the foreign borrowers.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (“LCP”) has a $48 million unfunded commitment under the 2012 Portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has excluded LCP’s commitment from the description of the Revolving Credit Facility and all references to availability contained in this Report.
Other Borrowings
The Company has borrowings under uncommitted credit agreements in many of the countries in which it operates. The borrowings are from various domestic and international banks at quoted market interest rates.
The Company has interest rate swap agreements outstanding with a total notional value of $75 million to hedge the variability of payments associated with its variable term debt, effectively changing a floating rate debt obligation into a fixed rate obligation. As of July 2, 2010, the Company recorded an obligation of approximately $2 million along with a corresponding reduction in OCI related to these interest rate swap agreements. Ineffectiveness from the interest rate swaps recorded to other income in the consolidated statement of operations was de minimis for each of the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2010 and July 3, 2009, respectively.
In January and February 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $350 million to effectively change a fixed rate debt obligation into a floating rate obligation. The total notional amounts of these agreements are equal to the designated face value of the debt instrument. The swap agreements were expected to settle in March 2017, the maturity date of the corresponding debt instrument. Since the interest rate swaps hedged the designated debt balance and qualified for fair value hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the swaps also resulted in a corresponding adjustment to the value of the debt. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company terminated the entire $350 million notional value of swaps and received cash of approximately $9 million. As of July 2, 2010, the unamortized fair value adjustment, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the underlying bonds, was $9 million. For the six months ended July 2, 2010 the amortization recorded as a reduction to interest expense was de minimis.

Cash Awards
For the three and six months ended July 2, 2010, the Company recognized compensation expense associated with its cash-settled share-based compensation and retention awards of approximately $6 million and $11 million, respectively.
2009 Awards. In February 2009, the Company issued cash incentive awards for executive officers, vice presidents and independent directors and retention awards for executive officers and vice presidents of the Company (the “2009 Awards”). For compensation expense purposes, the fair value of the share-based portion of the 2009 Awards was determined based on a lattice model (the Monte Carlo simulation) and is re-measured quarterly. The pro-rata vested portion of the awards is recognized as a liability. The liability and fair value of the 2009 Awards as of July 2, 2010 were approximately $27 million and $50 million, respectively (with a maximum payout amount of approximately $51 million).
2010 Awards. In March 2010, the Company issued cash incentive awards for executive officers (the “2010 Awards”). Each award is divided into three tranches of equal value with a tranche vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the agreement date. The target aggregate value of the awards is approximately $2.6 million, but could range from a minimum value of zero to a maximum value of $3.4 million depending on movement of the Company’s stock price during certain determination periods. Compensation expense associated with the 2010 Awards for the three and six months ended July 2, 2010 was de minimis.

Blackstone. In connection with the acquisition by an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) of the shares of the subsidiaries of TRW Inc. engaged in the automotive business from Northrop Grumman Corporation (“Northrop”) (the transaction between Blackstone and Northrop is referred to herein as the “Acquisition”), the Company executed a Transaction and Monitoring Fee Agreement with Blackstone whereby Blackstone agreed to provide the Company monitoring, advisory and consulting services, including advice regarding (i) structure, terms and negotiation of debt and equity offerings; (ii) relationships with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ lenders and bankers; (iii) corporate strategy; (iv) acquisitions or disposals and (v) other financial advisory services as more fully described in the agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company has agreed to pay an annual monitoring fee of $5 million for these services. Approximately $1 million is included in the consolidated statements of operations for each of the three month periods ended July 2, 2010 and July 3, 2009, and approximately $3 million is included in the consolidated statements of operations for each of the six month periods ended July 2, 2010 and July 3, 2009.
In March 2010, Automotive Investors LLC (“AI LLC”), an affiliate of Blackstone, and certain management stockholders sold 11,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in an underwritten registered public offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement onForm S-3 filed with the SEC on August 10, 2009. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the Offering, nor did its number of shares outstanding materially change. As a result of the Offering, AI LLC’s ownership interest in the Company decreased from 39% to 30%.

Core Trust Purchasing Group. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company entered into a five-year participation agreement (“participation agreement”) with Core Trust Purchasing Group, a division of HealthTrust Purchasing Corporation (“CPG”), designating CPG as its exclusive “group purchasing organization” for the purchase of certain products and services from third party vendors. CPG secures from vendors pricing terms for goods and services that are believed to be more favorable than participants in the group purchasing organization could obtain for themselves on an individual basis. Under the participation agreement, the Company must purchase 80% of the requirements of its participating locations for core categories of specified products and services, from vendors participating in the group purchasing arrangement with CPG. If the Company does not do so, the sole remedy of CPG is to terminate the agreement. The agreement does not obligate the Company to purchase any fixed or minimum quantities nor does it provide any mechanism for CPG to require the Company to purchase any particular quantity. In connection with purchases by its participants (including the Company), CPG receives a commission from the vendors in respect of such purchases.
Although CPG is not affiliated with Blackstone, in consideration for Blackstone’s facilitating the Company’s participation in CPG and monitoring the services CPG provides to the Company, CPG remits a portion of the commissions received from vendors in respect of purchases by the Company under the participation agreement to an affiliate of Blackstone, with whom Messrs. Robert Friedman and Neil Simpkins, members of our Board, are affiliated and in which they may have an indirect pecuniary interest. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2010 and July 3, 2009, the affiliate of Blackstone received de minimis fees from CPG in respect of the Company’s purchases.

Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings are pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries, covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s business activities with respect to commercial, patent, product liability, environmental and occupational safety and health law matters. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former locations of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. Along with other
28
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
companies, certain subsidiaries of the Company have been named potentially responsible parties for certain waste management sites. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably with respect to the Company or the relevant subsidiary. A reserve estimate for each environmental matter is established using standard engineering cost estimating techniques on an undiscounted basis. In the determination of such costs, consideration is given to the professional judgment of Company environmental engineers, in consultation with outside environmental specialists, when necessary. At multi-party sites, the reserve estimate also reflects the expected allocation of total project costs among the various potentially responsible parties. For Superfund sites where the Company or its subsidiaries and either Chrysler Corporation (“Chrysler”) or General Motors Corporation (“GM”) are both potentially responsible parties, the Company’s costs or liabilities may increase because of the discharge of certain claims in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings of those companies. The Company is monitoring these situations and increasing reserves as appropriate.
As of July 2, 2010, the Company had reserves for environmental matters of $54 million. In addition, the Company has established a receivable from Northrop for a portion of this environmental liability as a result of indemnification provided for in the Master Purchase Agreement relating to the Acquisition under which Northrop has agreed to indemnify the Company for 50% of any environmental liabilities associated with the operation or ownership of the Company’s automotive business existing at or prior to the Acquisition, subject to certain exceptions. The Company believes any liability that may result from the resolution of environmental matters for which sufficient information is available to support these cost estimates will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict the effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows of expenditures for aspects of certain matters for which there is insufficient information. In addition, the Company cannot predict the effect of compliance with environmental laws and regulations with respect to unknown environmental matters on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows or the possible effect of compliance with environmental requirements imposed in the future.
The Company faces an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability, recall and warranty claims in the event that its products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or the use of its products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injuryand/or property damage. Accordingly, the Company could experience material warranty, recall or product liability losses in the future.
While certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have been subject in recent years to asbestos-related claims, management believes that such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In general, these claims seek damages for illnesses alleged to have resulted from exposure to asbestos used in certain components sold by the Company’s subsidiaries. Management believes that the majority of the claimants were assembly workers at the major U.S. automobile manufacturers. The vast majority of these claims name as defendants numerous manufacturers and suppliers of a wide variety of products allegedly containing asbestos. Management believes that, to the extent any of the products sold by the Company’s subsidiaries and at issue in these cases contained asbestos, the asbestos was encapsulated. Based upon several years of experience with such claims, management believes that only a small proportion of the claimants has or will ever develop any asbestos-related illness.
Neither settlement costs in connection with asbestos claims nor annual legal fees to defend these claims have been material in the past. These claims are strongly disputed by the Company and it has been the Company’s policy to defend against them aggressively. Many of these cases have been dismissed without any payment whatsoever. Moreover, there is significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers with respect to these claims. However, while costs to defend and settle these claims in the past have not been material, there can be no assurances that this will remain so in the future.
Management believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2010, and the other information included herein. References in this quarterly report onForm 10-Q (this “Report”) to “we,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to TRW Automotive Holdings Corp., together with its subsidiaries.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Our Business
We are among the world’s largest and most diversified suppliers of automotive systems, modules and components to global automotive original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and related aftermarkets. Our operations primarily encompass the design, manufacture and sale of active and passive safety related products, which often includes the integration of electronics components and systems. We operate our business along four segments: Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety Systems, Electronics and Automotive Components.
We are primarily a “Tier 1” supplier, with over 85% of our end-customer sales in 2009 made to major OEMs. Of our 2009 sales, approximately 58% were in Europe, 25% were in North America, 12% were in Asia, and 5% were in the rest of the world.
Financial Results
For the three months ended July 2, 2010:
| | |
| • | Our net sales were $3.7 billion, which represents an increase of 34% from the prior year period. The increase in sales was driven primarily by significantly higher vehicle production volumes in all major geographic regions, partially offset by the negative effects of foreign currency exchange. |
|
| • | Operating income was $322 million compared to $44 million in the prior year period. The improvement in operating income of $278 million resulted primarily from the positive impact of higher sales volumes, benefits from our restructuring and cost containment actions implemented in 2009 and, to a lesser extent, favorable foreign currency exchange and lower restructuring charges and asset impairments. |
|
| • | Net earnings attributable to TRW were $227 million as compared to net losses of $11 million in the prior year period. This improvement of $238 million was primarily the result of the significant improvement in operating income, partially offset by increased income tax expense. |
For the six months ended July 2, 2010:
| | |
| • | Our net sales were $7.2 billion, which represented an increase of 41% from the prior year period. The increase in sales was driven primarily by significantly higher vehicle production volumes in all major geographic regions, as well as positive effects of foreign currency exchange. |
|
| • | Operating income was $622 million compared to operating losses of $81 million in the prior year period. The improvement in operating income of $703 million resulted primarily from the positive impact of higher sales volumes, benefits from our restructuring and cost containment actions implemented in 2009 and, to a lesser extent, favorable foreign currency exchange and lower restructuring charges and fixed and intangible asset impairments. |
|
| • | Net earnings attributable to TRW were $431 million as compared to net losses of $142 million in the prior year period. This improvement of $573 million was primarily the result of the significant improvement in operating income, partially offset by increased income tax expense and the non-recurrence of a gain on retirement of debt recognized in the prior year period. |
|
| • | We generated positive operating cash flow of $423 million, while capital expenditures were $107 million. We also reduced our outstanding debt during the period by $327 million, to $2,044 million, the lowest level since becoming an independent company in 2003. |

Recent Trends and Conditions
The automotive industry continued to progress through a slow recovery during the second quarter and first half of 2010. The primary trends and market conditions impacting our business in 2010 include:
General Economic Conditions:
During the first half of 2010, automobile suppliers benefitted from a general improvement in economic conditions and consumer demand (despite the continuing high level of unemployment) and production requirements associated with the replenishment of low vehicle inventory levels. Even though the industry has experienced a gradual rebound over the past several quarters, it remains susceptible to the impacts that consumer income and wealth, housing prices, automobile discount and incentive offers, and perceptions about global and local economic stability have on consumer spending.
Production Levels:
Global vehicle production continued to increase during the first half of 2010 due to increased consumer demand, fulfillment of vehicle incentive program orders and inventory restocking. At the current levels of vehicle production, profitability for automobile suppliers is more achievable than it was at the depressed levels experienced in 2009.
In 2009, approximately 58% of our sales originated in Europe. During the first half of 2010, vehicle production in this region was stronger than anticipated, primarily as a result of increased exports, continued European automobile scrappage programs, and the replenishment of inventories. Although the overall trends continue to be positive, production levels in the second half of 2010 are expected to decrease due to normal seasonality, expiration of incentive programs, decreased consumer demand and concern over general economic conditions, which is linked to the debt crisis in Greece and the resulting bailout by certain European Union members.
In 2009, approximately 25% of our sales originated in North America. During the first half of 2010, the automobile market in this region also experienced higher production levels. This improvement was primarily attributable to increased consumer demand resulting from improved consumer sentiment andpent-up demand for durable goods. The magnitude of the increased production levels was somewhat hindered by the continuing high levels of unemployment, concern over housing prices and the negative impact of volatile equity markets on consumer sentiment.
Product Mix:
Product mix tends to be influenced by a variety of factors such as governmental scrappage programs and regulations as well as fluctuating gasoline prices. In Europe, for instance, the demand spurred by the various scrappage programs has generally tended to be toward smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles. However, as the scrappage programs have expired, apent-up demand for luxury vehicles has begun shifting the product mix toward these larger vehicles. Also, exports of larger luxury vehicles to Asia have been increasing throughout the first half of 2010, largely due to the declining value of the euro. In North America, product mix tends to be more correlated to short-term fluctuations in the price of gasoline, thereby causing production to swing between sport utility vehicles/light trucks and more fuel efficient passenger cars. In general, smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles tend to be less profitable for OEMs and suppliers.
Supply Base:
Many automobile suppliers implemented various forms of operational restructuring actions during 2009 to better align their cost structure with production levels. With those operational actions firmly in place, many of those suppliers took advantage of equity and bond markets in late 2009 to strengthen their financial position. However, even as the industry recovers, concern remains as to whether smaller Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers who were not able to take actions to strengthen their financial position will be able to arrange working capital financing from traditional sources (e.g., commercial banks) to support the increased production levels. In some cases, financial instability of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply base poses a risk of supply disruption to us. We have dedicated resources and systems to
31
closely monitor the viability of our supply base and are constantly evaluating opportunities to mitigate the riskand/or effects of any supplier disruption.
Inflation and Pricing Pressure:
Overall commodity volatility (both inflationary and deflationary) is an ongoing concern for our business and has been a considerable operational and financial focus for us. During the first half of 2010, our operating results were negatively impacted by the increasing cost of certain commodities essential to our business. Further, as production levels rise, commodity inflationary pressures may increase, both in the automotive industry and in the broader economy. We continue to monitor commodity costs and work with our suppliers and customers to manage changes in such costs. However, it is generally difficult to pass increased prices for manufactured components and raw materials through to our customers in the form of price increases.
Additionally, pressure from our customers to reduce prices is characteristic of the automotive supply industry. Virtually all OEMs have policies of seeking price reductions each year. Given increased production and demand, this pressure has been heightened during the first half of 2010. Historically, we have taken steps to reduce costs and minimize or resist price reductions. However, to the extent our cost reductions are not sufficient to support committed price reductions, our profit margins could be negatively affected.
Foreign Currencies:
During the first half of 2010, we experienced a positive impact on our reported earnings in U.S. dollars resulting from the translation of results denominated in other currencies, mainly the euro, as well as our hedging activities. Additionally, operating results may be impacted by our buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currency of our operating companies. While we employ financial instruments to hedge certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, these hedging actions will not entirely insulate us from currency effects and such programs may not always be available to us at economically reasonable costs.
Strategic Initiatives
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our competitive position in the global automotive supply industry and determine what actions are required to maintain and improve that position. The significant changes in the global automotive industry over the past two years (such as significant fluctuations in demand and production, unfavorable shifts in product mix and industry-wide financial distress) caused us to reevaluate and reconfigure our business to establish a more appropriate cost and capital structure relative to anticipated production levels.
Throughout 2009 and into 2010, we have undertaken a number of operational and financial restructuring and cost reduction initiatives as we managed through the recent economic downturn and initial recovery. Our ongoing initiatives are focused on managing costs during periods of increasing production levels, maintaining discipline on capital expenditures and other discretionary spending and reducing debt.
Although we believe that we have established a firm foundation for continued profitability, we continue to evaluate our global footprint to ensure that the Company is properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions. As such, further plant rationalization and global workforce reduction efforts may be warranted.
Our Debt and Capital Structure
We continue to focus on improving the strength and flexibility of our capital structure. During the first half of 2010, we optionally repaid in full the outstanding Term Loan B-3 balance of $175 million and optionally repaid $75 million of our outstanding Term LoanA-2 with cash on hand.
As market conditions warrant, we and our major equity holders, including The Blackstone Group L.P. and its affiliates, may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by the Company or its subsidiaries, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, exchange offer, or by other means.
See “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” below and Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for further information.

Income Tax Expense
The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or whenever events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence. 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. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax assets in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions.
There is no income tax benefit recognized with respect to losses incurred and no income tax expense recognized with respect to earnings generated in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance. This causes variability in our effective tax rate. The Company intends to maintain the valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. If operating results improve or deteriorate on a sustained basis, our conclusions regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the reversal or initial recognition of a valuation allowance in the future, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended July 2, 2010 to the Three Months Ended July 3, 2009
Salesincreased by $929 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. The increase in sales was driven primarily by favorable volume (net of price reductions provided to
33
customers) of $983 million, which is mainly attributable to increased vehicle production volumes in all major geographic regions. Foreign currency exchange had a net unfavorable impact on sales of $54 million.
Gross profitincreased by $239 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. The increase was driven primarily by increased volume (net of adverse mix) of $235 million, cost reductions (in excess of inflation and price reductions provided to customers) of $15 million and favorable foreign currency exchange of $15 million. Partially offsetting these favorable items were the unfavorable impact of litigation matters of $12 million, the non-recurrence of favorable contractual settlements in the prior period related to certain customer arrangements of $8 million and the non-recurrence of the reversal of accruals in the prior period related to certain benefit programs at several of our European facilities of $6 million. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended July 2, 2010 was 12.0% compared to 7.3% for the three months ended July 3, 2009.
Administrative and selling expensesincreased by $13 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. This increase was driven primarily by increased insurance and environmental expenses, inflation and other costs in excess of cost reductions, together which net to $15 million, partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange of $3 million. Administrative and selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 3.6% for the three months ended July 2, 2010, as compared to 4.3% for the three months ended July 3, 2009.
Restructuring charges and fixed asset impairmentsdecreased by $23 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. This was primarily driven by decreases in severance, retention and outplacement services of $8 million, lower severance-related postemployment benefits of $9 million and reduced fixed asset impairments of $2 million. Also contributing to the decrease was a gain on the sale of a property in the amount of $4 million realized in the second quarter of 2010 related to a closed North American braking facility, which was previously impaired as part of a 2008 restructuring action.
Other (income) expense — netwas income of $22 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to an expense of $7 million for the three months ended July 3, 2009. The improvement was primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange of $17 million and a favorable variance between the periods related to themarking-to-market of certain forward electricity purchase contracts of $17 million.
Interest expense — netdecreased by $1 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009, primarily as the result of lower overall debt levels, partially offset by higher interest rates on new fixed rate debt instruments and on variable rate debt.
(Gain) loss on retirement of debt — netwas a loss of $1 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to a gain of $1 million for the three months ended July 3, 2009. During the second quarter of 2010, we recognized a loss on retirement of debt of $1 million primarily related to the write-off of debt issuance costs in conjunction with the optional repayments on our term loans. During the second quarter of 2009, we recognized a gain on retirement of debt of $7 million related to our repurchase of senior notes, offset by $6 million of losses related to the Company’s amendment of the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities.
Equity in (earnings) losses of affiliates, net of taximproved by $4 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. This was driven primarily by improved economic conditions, and as a result, a higher level of earnings from affiliates in Asia.
Income tax expensefor the three months ended July 2, 2010 was $52 million on pre-tax earnings of $289 million as compared to an income tax expense of $14 million on pre-tax earnings of $8 million for the three months ended July 3, 2009. The tax expense for the three months ended July 2, 2010 is net of tax benefits of $10 million relating to favorable resolutions of various tax matters in foreign jurisdictions. The income tax rate varies from the United States statutory income tax rate due primarily to results in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions that are currently in a valuation allowance position for which pre-tax earnings or losses do not
34
result in the recognition of a corresponding income tax expense or benefit, as well as favorable foreign tax rates, holidays, and credits.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended July 2, 2010 to the Six Months Ended July 3, 2009
Salesincreased by $2,122 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. The increase in sales was driven primarily by favorable volume (net of price reductions provided to customers) of $1,992 million, which is mainly attributable to increased vehicle production volumes in all major geographic regions. Foreign currency exchange also had a $130 million favorable impact on sales.
Gross profitincreased by $638 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. The increase was driven primarily by increased volume (net of adverse mix) of $498 million, cost reductions (in excess of inflation and price reductions provided to customers) of $113 million and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $53 million. Partially offsetting these favorable items were the unfavorable impact of litigation matters of $12 million, the non-recurrence of favorable contractual settlements in the prior period related to certain customer arrangements of $8 million and the non-recurrence of the reversal of accruals in the prior period related to certain benefit programs at several of our European facilities of $6 million. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months ended July 2, 2010 was 12.0% compared to 4.5% for the six months ended July 3, 2009.
Administrative and selling expensesincreased by $31 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. This increase was driven primarily by increased insurance expense, inflation and other costs in excess of cost reductions, together which net to $27 million, and unfavorable foreign
35
currency exchange effects of $2 million. Administrative and selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 3.5% for the six months ended July 2, 2010, as compared to 4.4% for the six months ended July 3, 2009.
Restructuring charges and fixed asset impairmentsdecreased by $40 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. This was primarily driven by decreases in severance, retention and outplacement services of $21 million, lower severance-related postemployment benefits of $10 million and reduced fixed asset impairments of $5 million. Also contributing to the decrease was a gain on the sale of a property in the amount of $4 million realized in the second quarter of 2010 related to a closed North American braking facility, which was previously impaired as part of a 2008 restructuring action.
Intangible asset impairmentswere $30 million for the six months ended July 3, 2009. During the first quarter of 2009, due to the negative economic and industry conditions, impairment charges of $30 million were recorded as a result of testing the recoverability of our trademark intangible assets.
Other (income) expense — netimproved by $26 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. The improvement was primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange of $17 million, a favorable variance between the periods related to themarking-to-market of forward electricity purchase contracts of $15 million, and a favorable change in net provision for bad debts of $6 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in royalty and grant income of $6 million and a decrease in gains on sales of assets of $2 million.
Interest expense — netincreased by $2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009, primarily as the result of higher interest rates on new fixed rate debt instruments and on variable rate debt and higher financing fee amortization, partially offset by lower overall debt levels.
(Gain) loss on retirement of debt — netwas a loss of $1 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010, as compared to a gain of $35 million for the six months ended July 3, 2009. During the second quarter 2010 we recognized a loss on retirement of debt of $1 million primarily related to the write-off of debt issuance costs in conjunction with the optional repayments on our term loans. During the six months ended July 3, 2009, we recognized a gain on retirement of debt of $41 million related to our repurchase of senior notes, including the write-off of a portion of debt issuance costs and premiums, offset by $6 million of losses related to the Company’s amendment of the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities.
Equity in (earnings) losses of affiliates, net of taximproved by $13 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. This was driven primarily by improved economic conditions, and as a result, a higher level of earnings from affiliates in Asia.
Income tax expensefor the six months ended July 2, 2010 was $102 million on pre-tax earnings of $552 million as compared to an income tax expense of $9 million on pre-tax losses of $126 million for the six months ended July 3, 2009. The tax expense for the six months ended July 2, 2010 is net of tax benefits of $10 million relating to favorable resolutions of various tax matters in foreign jurisdictions while the tax expense for the six months ended July 3, 2009 includes tax expense of $13 million that was recorded in establishing a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets of certain subsidiaries. The income tax rate varies from the United States statutory income tax rate due primarily to results in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions that are currently in a valuation allowance position for which pre-tax earnings or losses do not result in the recognition of a corresponding income tax expense or benefit, as well as favorable foreign tax rates, holidays, and credits.

Comparison of the three months ended July 2, 2010 and July 3, 2009:
Sales, including intersegment salesincreased by $576 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. This increase was driven primarily by favorable volume (net of price reductions provided to customers) of $593 million, which is mainly due to increased vehicle production volumes in all major geographic regions. Foreign currency exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of $18 million.
Earnings before taxesincreased by $127 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. This increase was driven primarily by higher volume of $117 million, favorable foreign currency exchange of $19 million, cost reductions (in excess of inflation and price reductions provided to customers) of $8 million and lower restructuring and impairment costs of $8 million. Partially offsetting these favorable items were the unfavorable impact of litigation matters of $12 million, the non-recurrence of favorable contractual settlements in the prior period related to certain customer arrangements of $8 million and the non-recurrence of a customer reimbursement of $5 million in the prior period for costs incurred as a result of the premature closure of an operating facility.
Restructuring charges and asset impairmentsdecreased by $8 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. This was driven by decreases in employee-related restructuring actions and fixed asset impairments of $4 million and a gain on the sale of a property in the amount of $4 million realized in the second quarter of 2010 related to a closed North American braking facility, which was previously impaired as part of a 2008 restructuring action.

Restructuring charges and asset impairmentsdecreased by $5 million for the three months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2009. This was primarily driven by decreases in severance-related postemployment benefits of $4 million and lower fixed asset impairments of $1 million.
Comparison of the six months ended July 2, 2010 and July 3, 2009:
Sales, including intersegment salesincreased by $268 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in volume (net of price reductions provided to customers) of $248 million and favorable foreign currency exchange of $19 million.
Earnings before taxesincreased by $105 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. This increase was driven primarily by higher volume (net of adverse mix) of $68 million, cost reductions (in excess of inflation, price reductions provided to customers and other cost adjustments) of $13 million, lower restructuring and impairment costs of $12 million, and favorable foreign currency exchange of $10 million.
Restructuring charges and asset impairmentsdecreased by $12 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2009. This was primarily driven by decreases in severance, retention and outplacement services of $3 million, lower severance-related postemployment benefits of $6 million and reduced fixed asset impairments of $3 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
While we continue to have a high amount of leverage, we believe that funds generated from operations and available borrowing capacity will be adequate to fund our liquidity requirements. These requirements, which are significant, generally consist of debt service requirements, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and company-sponsored research and development programs. In addition, our current financing plans are intended to provide flexibility in worldwide financing activities and permit us to respond to changing conditions in credit markets. However, our ability to continue to fund these items and to reduce debt may be affected by general economic, industry specific, financial market, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors.
On an annual basis, our primary source of liquidity remains cash flows generated from operations. At various points during the course of a given year, we may be in an operating cash usage position, which is not unusual given the seasonality of our business. We also have available liquidity under our revolving credit facility and the receivables and credit facilities described below, subject to certain conditions. We continuously focus on our working capital position and associated cash requirements and explore opportunities to more effectively manage our inventory and capital spending. Working capital is highly influenced by the timing of cash flows associated with sales and purchases, and therefore can be difficult to manage at times. Although we have historically been successful in managing the timing of our cash flows, future success will be dependent on the financial position of our customers and suppliers, and on industry conditions.

Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 2, 2010, was $423 million, as compared to $231 million used in operating activities for the six months ended July 3, 2009. The improvement to cash provided by operating activities is primarily the result of the following factors:
| | |
| • | Our improved results of operations during the first half of 2010, as compared to the first half of 2009, primarily resulting from increased sales in North America and Europe. |
|
| • | Restructuring payments of $6 million in the first half of 2010 compared to $33 million in the first half of 2009. Additionally, other severance-related payments of $10 million in the first half of 2010 compared to $6 million in the first half of 2009. |
|
| • | Net pension and other postretirement cash payments for the first half of 2010 were $70 million, compared to cash payments of $84 million in the first half of 2009. |
Partially offsetting the abovementioned positive factors was $26 million of higher working capital requirements in 2010 resulting from the increase in sales and customer production schedules during the first half of 2010 as compared to significantly lower sales experienced during the first half of 2009.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2010 was $101 million as compared to $69 million for the six months ended July 3, 2009. For the six months ended July 2, 2010 and July 3, 2009, we spent $107 million and $72 million, respectively, in capital expenditures, primarily in connection with upgrading existing products, continuing new product launches, and infrastructure and equipment at our facilities to support our manufacturing and cost reduction efforts. We expect to spend approximately $325 million for such capital expenditures during 2010.
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $277 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010 as compared to $111 million of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2009. During the six months ended July 2, 2010, in addition to the $1 million mandatory amortization payment on our Term LoanA-2, we optionally repaid in full the outstanding Term Loan B-3 balance of $175 million and optionally repaid $75 million of our outstanding Term LoanA-2, with cash on hand. During the six months ended July 3, 2009, we had net cash proceeds of $198 million from our Revolving Credit Facility and made net payments of $81 million on short and long-term debt.
Other Sources of Liquidity
Liquidity Facilities. We intend to draw down on, and use proceeds from, our revolving credit facility and our European factoring facility (collectively, the “Liquidity Facilities”) to fund normal working capital needs from month to month in conjunction with available cash on hand. As of July 2, 2010, we had approximately $1.2 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility, which is part of our senior secured credit facilities described below. This availability reflects no outstanding borrowings and reduced availability as a result of $55 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees and a $48 million unfunded commitment of Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (“LCP”) under the revolving credit facility. The Company has excluded LCP’s commitment from the description of the revolving credit facility and all references to availability contained in this Report.
We, through one of our European subsidiaries, have a receivables factoring arrangement in Italy. This €40 million program is renewable annually, if not otherwise terminated. As of July 2, 2010, the Company did not have any factored receivables under the program and €36 million remained available for funding.
Under normal working capital utilization of liquidity, portions of the amounts drawn under the Liquidity Facilities typically will be paid back throughout the month as cash from customers is received. We would then draw upon such facilities again for working capital purposes in the same or succeeding months. However, during any given month, upon examination of economic and industry conditions, we may fully draw our Liquidity Facilities.
On July 2, 2010, our subsidiaries in the Asia Pacific region also had various uncommitted credit facilities totaling approximately $154 million, of which $138 million was available after borrowings of $16 million. We expect that these additional facilities will be drawn from time to time for normal working capital purposes.
41
Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In December 2009, we entered into our Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto. The Seventh Credit Agreement amended certain provisions of our previous credit agreement, including the interest coverage ratio covenant and applicable margins as well as certain other covenants applicable to the Company. The Seventh Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility in the amount of $1,256 million, of which $411 million matures May 9, 2012 and $845 million matures November 30, 2014, subject to certain conditions, (ii) the $225 million Term LoanA-2, and (iii) the $175 million Term Loan B-3. Net proceeds from the Term LoanA-2 and Term Loan B-3, together with cash on hand were used to repay the remaining balance of the existing term loanA-1 and term loan B-1 and pay fees and expenses associated with the Seventh Credit Agreement. See “— Senior Secured Credit Facilities” in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for a description of these facilities.
During the first half of 2010, we optionally repaid in full the outstanding Term Loan B-3 balance of $175 million and optionally repaid $75 million of our outstanding Term LoanA-2 with cash on hand.
Our Seventh Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants, including financial covenants that would impact our ability to borrow on the facility if not met and restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability to incur additional indebtedness and the payment of cash dividends on the Company’s common stock. Such covenants are described in more detail in Note 14 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We have no unconditional purchase obligations other than those related to inventory, services, tooling and property, plant and equipment in the ordinary course of business.
Other Commitments. Escalating pressure from customers to reduce prices is characteristic of the automotive parts industry. Historically, we have taken steps to reduce costs and minimizeand/or resist price reductions. However, to the extent we are unsuccessful at resisting price reductions, or are not able to offset price reductions through improved operating efficiencies and reduced expenditures, such price reductions may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition to pricing concerns, customers continue to seek changes in terms and conditions in our contracts concerning warranty and recall participation and payment terms on product shipped. We believe that the likely resolution of these proposed modifications will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have guarantees related to unconsolidated entities, which have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
CONTINGENCIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The information concerning contingencies, including environmental contingencies and the amount currently held in reserve for environmental matters, contained in Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report is incorporated herein by reference.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
OUTLOOK
For the full year 2010, we expect revenue to be in the range of $13.2 billion to $13.6 billion, including third quarter sales of approximately $3.1 billion. These sales figures are based on expected 2010 production levels of
42
11.6 million units in North America and 17.2 million units in Europe, and our expectations for foreign currency exchange rates.
During the first half of 2010, vehicle production remained robust. However, production levels are expected to decline during the second half of the year, primarily in Europe, due to normal seasonality and reduced consumer demand. Despite potential industry headwinds in the second half of the year, such as lower production levels and rising commodity prices, we are confident that we will manage through them successfully. We continue to expect that full recovery of the automotive industry will be a long and gradual process.
We believe that our liquidity, continued focus on controlling costs, leading technology portfolio and our notable growth prospects, driven by the continued focus on safety in vehicles, position us well to take advantage of the industry rebound that is occurring.
We continue to be exposed to the potential inflationary impact of certain commodities such as ferrous metals, base metals, resins, yarns, energy costs and other petroleum-based products. As production increases, commodity inflationary pressures may increase, both in the automotive industry and in the broader economy. Although the impact of commodity inflation may not affect the Company immediately, it is typically evidenced by near-term contribution margin contraction and can put significant operational and financial burdens on us and our suppliers.
We remain concerned about the viability of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply base as they face financial difficulties in the current environment due to increased working capital requirements resulting from increased production levels and commodity inflationary pressures. The inability of any major supplier to meet its commitments could negatively impact us either directly or by negatively affecting our customers. While we continue our efforts to mitigate the impact of our own suppliers’ financial distress on our financial results, our efforts may be insufficient and the pressures may worsen, thereby potentially having a negative impact on our future results.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a — 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of July 2, 2010, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
The information concerning legal proceedings involving the Company contained in Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report is incorporated herein by reference.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
The independent trustee of our 401(k) plans purchases shares in the open market to fund (i) investments by employees in our common stock, one of the investment options available under such plans, and (ii) matching contributions in Company stock we provide under certain of such plans (matching contributions on certain plans that were suspended in 2009 were reinstated in February 2010). In addition, our stock incentive plan permits payment of an option exercise price by means of cashless exercise through a broker and permits the satisfaction of the minimum statutory tax obligations upon exercise of options through stock withholding. Further, while our stock incentive plan also permits the satisfaction of the minimum statutory tax obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock units through stock withholding, the shares withheld for such purpose are issued directly to us and are then immediately retired and returned to our authorized but unissued reserve. The Company does not believe that the foregoing purchases or transactions are issuer repurchases for the purposes of Item 2 of this Report.
