Notes to Unaudited 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 2012, approximately 86% of the Company's end-customer sales were to major OEMs.
2. Basis of Presentation
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 on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 15, 2013, and the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 1, 2013.
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company began to manage and report certain components that were previously within its Electronics segment as part of its Chassis Systems segment. As a result, these components were reclassified and are now included within the Company's Chassis Systems segment. As such, the Company has made appropriate adjustments to its segment-related disclosures for 2013, as well as prior periods.
These 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 nine months ended September 27, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
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 Per Share. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the weighted average impact of all potentially dilutive securities from the date of issuance, including stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock-settled stock appreciation rights ("SSARs"). Further, if the inclusion of shares potentially issuable for the Company's 3.50% exchangeable senior unsecured notes (see Note 10) 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 stock options outstanding or the fair value on the date of grant of the SSARs, the treasury stock method is used to determine the incremental number of shares to be included in the diluted earnings per share computation.
Net earnings attributable to TRW and the weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share were:

| | | | | | | | | |
For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, approximately 0.4 million and 1.6 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 both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2012, approximately 2.2 million securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion of such securities in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

Goodwill
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company began to manage and report certain components that were previously within its Electronics segment as part of its Chassis Systems segment. As a result, these components were reclassified and are now included within the Company's Chassis Systems segment. As such, the Company has reallocated goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach.

6. Income Taxes
The Company adjusts its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate and records 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.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 27, 2013 was $62 million on pre-tax earnings of $268 million and income tax expense for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 was $221 million on pre-tax earnings of $860 million. Income tax expense for both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 includes a tax benefit of $18 million relating to the enactment of tax legislation and reduction in corporate income tax rates in the United Kingdom. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 also includes a tax benefit of $12 million relating to the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, and a net tax expense of $4 million relating to other matters, resulting in a combined net tax benefit of $26 million for the period. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 28, 2012 was $68 million on pre-tax earnings of $244 million and income tax expense for the nine months ended September 28, 2012 was $253 million on pre-tax earnings of $871 million. Income tax expense for both the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012 includes a tax benefit of $9 million relating to the enactment of tax legislation and reduction in corporate income tax rates in the United Kingdom. For the periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, the income tax rate varies from the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to favorable foreign tax rates, holidays, and credits, as well as the effect of the various items noted above.
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 more frequently if 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. The Company utilizes a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax results adjusted for significant permanent book to tax differences as a measure of cumulative results in recent years. 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 historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the
14
Table of Contents

6. Income Taxes (Continued)
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. If operating results improve or deteriorate on a sustained basis, the Company's 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 U.S. economic recovery and improvement in the North American automotive market, along with improved Company performance, have all had a favorable impact on U.S. operating results. If such performance continues, the Company may be in a position, in future periods, to utilize certain historical foreign tax credits in excess of previous expectations, which could have a significant favorable impact on income tax expense in the period recognized.
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 change in the Company's 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 January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was enacted, which retroactively reinstated and extended various tax provisions applicable to the Company, including the research and development tax credit and the look through rules for controlled foreign corporations. The effect of a tax law change, including any retroactive effect, is accounted for in the period of enactment. As a result, the Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of approximately $12 million during the first quarter related to this legislation.
On July 17, 2013, the United Kingdom—Finance Bill of 2013 received Royal Assent, thereby becoming law as the Finance Act 2013 (the "Act"). The Act provides for a reduction to the corporate income tax rate from 23% to 21% effective April 1, 2014, with a further reduction to 20% effective April 1, 2015. The impact of this tax legislation was recorded as a discrete item during the third quarter, the period of enactment, resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $18 million.

The Company has offered voluntary lump sum payment opportunities to certain of its U.S. employees. These voluntary lump sum payments are expected to be accounted for and paid during the fourth quarter of 2013, and will be funded with pension plan assets when paid. While the Company expects to incur a settlement loss in conjunction with the payments, the amount cannot be determined at this time.

8. 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

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
8. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
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 pension related assets with fair value determined through Level 3, fair value is derived principally from unobservable inputs provided by the trustee. When there are no observable comparables, inputs used to determine value are derived from Company-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 sheets are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | As of | |

Foreign currency exchange contracts—current assets | | $ | 13 | | $ | 13 | | Level 2 | | $ | 16 | | $ | 16 | |
Foreign currency exchange contracts—noncurrent assets | | | 2 | | | 2 | | Level 2 | | | 9 | | | 9 | |
Short-term debt, fixed and floating rate | | | 111 | | | 111 | | Level 2 | | | 67 | | | 67 | |
Fixed rate long-term debt | | | 1,780 | | | 2,128 | | Level 2 | | | 1,395 | | | 1,677 | |
Foreign currency exchange contracts—current liability | | | 2 | | | 2 | | Level 2 | | | — | | | — | |
Interest rate swap contracts—noncurrent liability | | | — | | | — | | Level 2 | | | 1 | | | 1 | |
The carrying value of short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short term nature of these 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 estimates the fair value using discounted cash flow models with market based borrowing rates for similar types of arrangements. Upon issuance of the Company's exchangeable notes, a debt discount was recognized as a decrease in debt and an increase in equity. Accordingly, the Company's fair value and carrying value of long-term fixed rate debt as of September 27, 2013 is net of the unamortized discount of $18 million.
The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts, commodity contracts, and interest rate swap contracts are recorded at fair value, using quoted currency forward rates, quoted commodity forward rates, and quoted interest rate curves, respectively, to calculate forward values, and then discounting the forward values. In addition, the Company's calculation of the fair value of its foreign currency option contracts uses quoted currency volatilities.
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.

8. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
There were no changes in the Company's valuation techniques during the nine months ended September 27, 2013.
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and shown in the table above, the Company also has assets and liabilities in its balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Such 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 11 for asset impairments).
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 by using a risk-adjusted rate for the Company.
9. Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain financial market risks related to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed through derivative financial instruments and hedging activities are foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities are utilized to protect the Company's cash flow from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as to manage interest costs. 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, and by monitoring the Company's credit exposure to each counterparty in light of its current credit quality.
As of September 27, 2013, the Company had a notional value of $2.4 billion in foreign exchange contracts outstanding. These foreign exchange contracts mature at various dates through August 2016. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed monthly and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument.
As of September 27, 2013, the Company had two offsetting interest rate swap agreements outstanding, each with a notional value of $25 million. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from changes in LIBOR.
Derivative Instruments. The fair values of the Company's derivative instruments as of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $34 million and $40 million, respectively, in the asset position, and $21 million and $16 million, respectively, in the liability position. These amounts consist of interest rate contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, and commodity contracts, none of which are individually significant.

9. Financial Instruments (Continued)
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 other comprehensive income ("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 $2 million of gains, net of tax, which are included in OCI are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months.
For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, the effective portion of the gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and recognized in OCI was a gain of $22 million and a loss of $11 million, respectively, all of which was related to foreign currency exchange contracts. The effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedges reclassified from OCI into the statement of earnings for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 was de minimis and a gain of $1 million, respectively, and was included in various line items on the statement of earnings.
For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012, the effective portion of the gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and recognized in OCI was a gain of $47 million and a gain of $82 million, respectively, all of which were related to foreign currency exchange contracts. The effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedges reclassified from OCI into the statement of earnings for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012 was a gain of $2 million and $1 million, respectively, and was included in various line items on the statement of earnings.
Gains or losses recognized in income related to hedge ineffectiveness for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 were not significant.
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. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, the Company had no fair value hedges outstanding.
Undesignated Derivatives. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, the gains and losses recognized in other (income) expense-net were de minimis and a loss of $3 million, respectively, for derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012, the Company recognized gains of $5 million and $15 million, respectively, in other (income) expense—net for derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments.
Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features. The Company has entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") agreements with each of its significant derivative counterparties. These agreements provide bilateral netting and offsetting of accounts that are in a liability position with those that are in an asset position. These agreements do not require the Company to maintain a minimum credit rating in order to be in compliance with the terms of the agreements and do not contain any margin call provisions or collateral requirements that could be triggered by derivative instruments in a net liability position. As of September 27, 2013, the Company had not posted any collateral to support its derivatives in a liability position.

8.875% Senior Notes. In November 2009, the Company issued $250 million in aggregate original 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. The 8.875% Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part on or after December 1, 2013 at a redemption price of 104.438% of par, which is reduced to 102.219% on December 1, 2014 and 100% on December 1, 2015 and thereafter.
2007 Senior Notes. In March 2007, the Company issued 7% senior unsecured notes and 63/8% senior unsecured notes, each due March 2014, in original principal amounts of $500 million and €275 million, respectively, and 71/4% senior unsecured notes due 2017 in the original 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.
Senior Note Repurchases. During the nine months ended September 27, 2013, the Company repurchased portions of its senior unsecured notes due in 2014 and 2017 totaling approximately $91 million in principal amount and recorded a loss on retirement of debt of $5 million. During the nine months ended September 28, 2012, the Company repurchased portions of its senior notes totaling approximately $48 million in principal amount and recorded a loss on retirement of debt of $5 million.
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 or conditions being met and, thereafter, at any time. One condition, the sales price condition (described below), was met as of September 27, 2013, and as such, the notes are exchangeable in the fourth quarter of 2013. They will remain exchangeable in subsequent quarters if the sale price condition continues to be met, which occurs if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 of the last 30 trading days of the immediately preceding quarter is greater than 130% of the applicable exchange price. The initial exchange rate is 33.8392 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an exchange price of 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.
The Exchangeable Senior Notes were recorded with a debt discount which decreased debt and increased paid-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 September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $18 million and $24 million, respectively. The total interest expense recognized for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 was approximately $3 million and $10 million, respectively, including $2 million and $5 million in each respective period relating to the stated coupon rate. The total interest expense recognized for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012 was approximately $4 million and $10 million,

respectively, including $2 million and $5 million in each respective period relating to the stated coupon rate.
Subsequent Event. After September 27, 2013, Exchangeable Senior Notes in principal amount of approximately $26 million were exchanged by holders for 879,982 shares of Company stock (see Note 12).
Senior Credit Facilities
The Company's Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated September 28, 2012 (the "Eighth Credit Agreement") provides for senior credit facilities consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility in the amount of $1.4 billion which matures in September 2017, subject to certain liquidity conditions being met in October 2016 and July 2017 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), and (ii) additional availability which may be used in the future for one or more term loans or additional revolving facilities (together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Facilities").
The commitment fee and the applicable margin for borrowing on the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to a ratings-based grid. The applicable margin in effect as of September 27, 2013 was 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.75% with respect to eurocurrency borrowings. The commitment fee on the undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.30%.
The Company received an investment grade corporate credit rating with a stable outlook from Standard & Poor's Rating Services in the third quarter of 2013. Due to such investment grade rating, under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company gave notice which automatically released the collateral securing the obligations under the facility. The Company may be required to reinstate the released collateral if the Company no longer has an investment grade corporate credit rating with a stable outlook from at least one of the required rating agencies. Obligations under the Facilities remain guaranteed on an unsecured basis by substantially all existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company. In addition, foreign borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility remain guaranteed by the foreign borrowers.
Debt Repurchases
As market conditions warrant, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase debt securities, including exchangeable 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, or the Company may redeem such debt securities.
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.
11. Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairments
The Company incurred restructuring charges for severance and other charges as part of its ongoing efforts to better align its cost structure with global automotive market conditions. For the three months

ended September 27, 2013, the Occupant Safety Systems segment incurred $2 million of severance and other charges. For the nine months ended September 27, 2013, the Chassis Systems segment and Occupant Safety Systems segment incurred $17 million and $29 million, respectively, of severance and other charges, while the Automotive Components segment recorded $6 million of income related to changes in estimates.
For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, the Chassis Systems segment incurred $3 million of other asset impairments related to the write-down of certain machinery and equipment to fair value based on estimated future cash flows.
For the three months ended September 28, 2012, the Chassis Systems segment recorded $2 million of asset impairments related to restructuring activities, and the Automotive Components segment incurred $1 million of severance and other charges. For the nine months ended September 28, 2012, the Automotive Components segment incurred $3 million of severance and other charges, and the Chassis Systems segment incurred $2 million of severance and other charges and $2 million of asset impairments related to restructuring activities.

Of the $100 million restructuring reserves as of September 27, 2013, approximately $40 million to $45 million is expected to be paid in the remainder of 2013. The remaining balance is expected to be paid in 2014 to 2015 and is comprised primarily of involuntary employee termination arrangements in Europe.
12. Capital Stock
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of (i) 500 million shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of which 114,452,986 shares were issued and outstanding as of September 27, 2013 (net of 4,668 shares of treasury stock withheld at cost to satisfy tax obligations for a specific grant under the Company's stock-based compensation plan); and (ii) 250 million shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, including 500,000 shares of Series A junior participating preferred stock, of which no shares are currently issued or outstanding.

12. Capital Stock (Continued)
From time to time, capital stock is issued in conjunction with the exercise of stock options and SSARs and the vesting of RSUs issued as part of the Company's stock incentive plan (see Note 13).
Share Repurchase Programs. On February 16, 2012, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a share repurchase program that is intended to offset, on an ongoing basis, the dilution created by the Company's stock incentive plan (the "Anti-Dilution Program"). In addition, on October 1, 2012, the Company announced a share repurchase program that had been approved by its board of directors during the third quarter of 2012 to acquire up to $1 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock that extends through December 31, 2014. On October 29, 2013, the Company announced that its board of directors had increased the amount of shares authorized to be repurchased under this program by an additional $1 billion, bringing the total repurchase authorization thereunder to $2 billion, and extended the program through December 31, 2016.
In May 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase the Company's common stock. Under the ASR agreement, the Company made an up-front payment of $125 million and received an initial delivery of approximately 1.7 million shares in the second quarter of 2013. The agreement was settled in the third quarter of 2013, and the Company received final delivery of an additional 205,965 shares, resulting in a weighted-average price per share of $64.98 for the ASR.
In September 2013, the Company entered into a separate ASR agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase the Company's common stock. Under this ASR agreement, the Company made an up-front payment of $125 million and received an initial delivery of approximately 1.4 million shares in the third quarter of 2013. The total number of shares to be ultimately delivered, and therefore the average price paid per share, will be determined at the end of the repurchase period based on the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during that period. The September ASR will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2013.
During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, the Company repurchased under a variety of different methods, including the ASR programs discussed above, 3,525,988 shares and 6,476,816 shares, respectively, of its common stock for a total of $260 million and $460 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 27, 2013, the Company reached its 2013 board authorized limit under the Anti-Dilution Program to repurchase 1.5 million shares of its common stock; however, additional shares may be purchased under the program in subsequent years.
Subsequent Event. After September 27, 2013, Exchangeable Senior Notes in principal amount of approximately $26 million were exchanged by holders for 879,982 shares of Company stock (see Note 10).
13. Share-Based Compensation
On February 22, 2013, the Company granted 1,199,551 SSARs to executive officers and certain employees of the Company pursuant to the TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). Each SSAR entitles the grantee to receive the appreciation in value of one underlying share of the Company's stock from the grant date fair market value of $58.20 to the fair

market value on the exercise date, although the stock price at exercise is limited to a maximum value of $110.00.
On February 22, 2013, the Company also granted 428,169 RSUs to executive officers, independent directors and certain employees of the Company pursuant to the 2012 Plan. Additionally, the Company granted 4,400 phantom stock units ("PSUs") to certain employees of the Company. Each PSU entitles the grantee to receive a cash payment upon vesting equal to the fair market value on the vesting date of one share of the Company's common stock.
As of September 27, 2013, the Company had 4,541,450 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2012 Plan. In addition, 475,664 stock options, 3,133,453 SSARs, 812,977 nonvested RSUs and 15,300 nonvested PSUs were outstanding as of September 27, 2013. All of the SSARs and substantially all of the stock options have an 8-year term and vest ratably over three years, all the RSUs vest ratably over three years and a majority of the PSUs cliff vest after three years. As a result of changes to retirement eligibility provisions for awards granted in 2013, the Company applies a non-substantive vesting period approach whereby expense is accelerated for those employees that receive awards and are eligible to retire prior to the award vesting.
Share-based compensation expense recognized for the Plan was as follows:

| | | | | | | | | |
For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, the Company recognized compensation expense of de minimis and approximately $1 million, respectively, associated with its cash-settled share-based compensation awards. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012, the Company recognized compensation expense associated with its cash-settled share-based compensation awards of approximately $1 million and $4 million, respectively. As of September 27, 2013, both the liability and fair value of the cash awards was $1 million. As of December 31, 2012, the liability and fair value of the cash awards were $1 million and $3 million, respectively.
2011 and 2010 Awards. In February 2011 and March 2010, the Company issued cash incentive awards for executive officers (the "2011 Awards" and "2010 Awards", respectively). 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. During the nine months ended September 27, 2013, the second tranche of the 2011 Awards and the third tranche of the 2010 Awards vested and were fully paid. Subsequent to the payment of the second tranche, the target aggregate value of the awards granted in 2011 is approximately $1 million, but could range from a minimum value of zero to a maximum value of $1.2 million depending on movement of the Company's stock price during certain determination periods.

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 was re-measured quarterly. During the first quarter of 2012, approximately $40 million was paid to fully satisfy the obligation for these awards.
14. Related Party Transactions
Secondary Offerings. In February and August of 2013, Automotive Investors LLC ("AI LLC"), an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone"), and certain management stockholders sold 10 million and 10.9 million shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock in underwritten registered public offerings (the "Offerings") pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on August 10, 2012. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the Offerings, nor did its number of shares outstanding materially change. The Company incurred expenses totaling less than $1 million in connection with these Offerings. As a result of the Offerings, AI LLC and Blackstone no longer hold any ownership interest in the Company.
15. Segment Information
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company began to manage and report certain components that were previously within its Electronics segment as part of its Chassis Systems segment. As a result, these components were reclassified and are now included within the Company's Chassis Systems segment. As such, the Company has made appropriate adjustments to its segment-related disclosures for 2013, as well as prior periods.

16. Contingencies
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
28
Table of Contents
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
16. Contingencies (Continued)
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 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.
As of September 27, 2013, the Company had reserves for environmental matters of $69 million. In addition, the Company has established a receivable from Northrop Grumman Corporation ("Northrop") for a portion of this environmental liability as a result of indemnification provided for in the master purchase agreement between Northrop and an affiliate of Blackstone 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, in excess of amounts accrued in its financial statements, 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 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 statements 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 injury and/or property damage. Accordingly, the Company could experience material warranty, recall or product liability losses in the future. For further information, including quantification of the Company's product warranty liability, see the description of "Warranties" in Note 2.
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 statements. In general, these claims seek damages for illnesses alleged to have resulted from exposure to asbestos used in certain components sold in the past by the Company's subsidiaries. Management believes that the majority of the claimants were vehicle mechanics. The vast majority of these claims name as defendants numerous manufacturers and suppliers of a 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.

16. Contingencies (Continued)
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 its 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 statements as a whole.

Antitrust authorities, including those in the United States and Europe, are investigating possible violations of competition (antitrust) laws by automotive parts suppliers (referred to herein as the "Antitrust Investigations"). The U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") initiated an investigation into the Company's Occupant Safety Systems business in June 2011, which was concluded when the court approved a plea agreement between one of the Company's German subsidiaries and the DOJ. The Antitrust Investigation by the European Commission is ongoing. While the duration and outcome of the European Commission's investigation is uncertain, a determination that the Company has violated European competition (antitrust) laws could result in significant penalties which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, as well as its reputation. While the Company cannot estimate the ultimate financial impact resulting from the European investigation, it will continue to evaluate developments in this matter on a regular basis and will record an accrual as and when appropriate.
The Company's policy is to comply with all laws and regulations, including all antitrust and competition laws. The Company is cooperating fully with the competition authorities in the context of their ongoing investigations.
The Company has been named as a defendant in purported class action lawsuits filed on various dates from June 2012 through July 2013, which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and in various courts in Canada on behalf of vehicle purchasers, lessors and dealers, alleging that the Company and certain of its competitors conspired to fix and raise prices for Occupant Safety Systems products. The Company intends to defend these cases vigorously. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these cases will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole.

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 on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2013 and August 1, 2013, respectively, and the other information included herein. References in this quarterly report on Form 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 and systems, 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 approximately 86% of our end-customer sales in 2012 made to major OEMs. Of our 2012 sales, approximately 43% were in Europe, 36% were in North America, 17% were in Asia, and 4% were in the rest of the world.
Financial Results
For the three months ended September 27, 2013:
- •
- Our net sales were $4.2 billion, which represents an increase of 6% compared to the prior year period. The higher level of sales was driven by increased demand for our active and passive safety products and growth in vehicle production in North America and China and the positive effects of foreign currency exchange.
- •
- Operating income was $289 million compared to $262 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income of $27 million resulted primarily from the positive impact of the higher level of sales, partially offset by planned cost increases to support future growth.
- •
- Net earnings attributable to TRW were $197 million as compared to $163 million in the prior year period. This increase of $34 million was primarily the result of the increase in operating income and lower income tax expense, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
- •
- During the quarter, we utilized $260 million of cash on hand to repurchase approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock under our share repurchase program.
For the nine months ended September 27, 2013:
- •
- Our net sales were $12.9 billion, which represents an increase of 4% compared to the prior year period. The higher level of sales was driven by increased demand for our active and passive safety products and growth in vehicle production in North America and China, partially offset by lower vehicle production in Europe.
- •
- Operating income was $927 million compared to $930 million in the prior year period. The positive impact from the higher level of sales was more than offset by increased restructuring charges, planned cost increases to support future growth and a higher proportion of lower margin business.

- •
- Net earnings attributable to TRW were $607 million as compared to $589 million in the prior year period. This increase of $18 million was primarily the result of lower income tax expense, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
- •
- For the nine month period, we utilized $460 million of cash on hand to repurchase approximately 6.5 million shares of common stock under our share repurchase programs. We also utilized $96 million of cash on hand to optionally repurchase portions of our senior unsecured notes, totaling $91 million in principal amount.
Recent Trends and Conditions
Our business and operating results are directly affected by the relative strength of the global automotive industry, which tends to be driven by macro-economic factors such as consumer confidence, fluctuating commodity and fuel prices and regulatory/governmental initiatives. The primary trends and market conditions impacting our business in 2013 include:
General Economic Conditions:
During the first nine months of 2013, we remained cautiously optimistic as certain of the world's central banks continued easing policies to spur economic growth. In North America, the favorable economic environment suggests the recovery will continue at a modest pace. In Europe, despite signs of stabilization, consumer demand remains weak. In China, although the pace of economic growth has moderated, the automotive industry continues to expand with automotive suppliers benefiting from increased production levels.
Although there is evidence in the U.S. economy that the recovery is strengthening, global economic sentiment remains cautious given the continuing sovereign debt concerns and related austerity measures and the overall weak economy in Europe, as well as the slowing pace of economic growth in China. The global automotive industry remains susceptible to uncertain economic conditions that could adversely impact consumer demand for vehicles, such as the ongoing U.S. government fiscal policy issues.
Production Levels:
Vehicle production levels in North America and China during the first nine months of 2013 continued on a positive trend, while declines in Europe continued.
Approximately 43% of our sales originated in Europe during 2012. This region experienced lower production levels in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012, primarily as a result of decreased European consumer demand caused by weak consumer confidence related to the overall economic environment. After a significant decline in vehicle production earlier in the year, signs of stabilization that emerged during the second quarter continued into the third quarter. We anticipate vehicle production will continue to stabilize in the fourth quarter.
Approximately 36% of our sales originated in North America during 2012. Production levels in this region increased slightly in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. We expect continued growth in production levels for the remainder of 2013 in North America.
Approximately 21% of our sales originated in regions outside of Europe and North America (primarily China, which comprised approximately 13% of total sales) during 2012. In China, production levels were higher in the first nine months of 2013 compared to the first nine months of 2012 due to increased consumer demand. We expect growth in production levels for the remainder of 2013 in Asia Pacific, especially in China.

Product Mix:
Product mix tends to be influenced by a variety of factors such as gasoline prices, consumer income and wealth and governmental regulations (e.g. fuel economy standards driving higher volumes of small car production). In Europe, demand has historically tended to be toward smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles. In North America, product mix tends to be more correlated to short-term fluctuations in the price of gasoline and consumer sentiment and wealth, thereby causing production to swing between sport utility vehicles/light trucks and more economical passenger cars. Recent improvements in the North American housing market have led to a higher level of light duty pickup truck production in the first nine months of 2013. In general, sport utility vehicles and light duty pickup trucks tend to be more profitable for OEMs and suppliers, while smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles tend to be less profitable.
Supply Base:
As production levels fluctuate and overall economic concerns remain, Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers face the challenges of managing through variable working capital and capital expenditure requirements. With the declines in production in Europe, there are concerns about suppliers' viability stemming from broader industry restructuring actions. Further, in some cases, capacity constraints, limited availability of raw materials or components or financial instability of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply base poses a risk of supply disruption to us. We have experienced additional costs due to such factors and we may continue to incur such costs in the future.
We have dedicated resources and systems to closely monitor the viability and performance of our supply base and are constantly evaluating opportunities to mitigate the risk and/or effects of any supplier disruption.
Inflation and Pricing Pressure:
Overall commodity volatility is an ongoing concern for our business and has been a considerable operational and financial focus for us. 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, when costs increase, it is generally difficult to pass the full extent of such increases for manufactured components and raw materials through to our customers in the form of price increases and, even if passed through to some extent, the recovery is typically on a delayed basis. Given the current environment, we do not expect to experience significant inflationary pricing pressure during 2013.
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. 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 nine months of 2013, we experienced a negative impact from foreign currency effects on our reported earnings in U.S. dollars compared to 2012. Further, our operating results will continue to be impacted by our buying, selling and borrowing in currencies other than the functional currency of our operating companies. In order to abate the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates between these currencies and to delay the impact of adverse exchange rate trends, we utilize hedging instruments where appropriate, taking into consideration their cost and effectiveness.

Strategic Initiatives
In general, our long-term objectives are focused on profitably growing our business, expanding our newer, innovative technologies, winning new contracts, generating cash, strengthening our market position, and enhancing long-term shareholder value. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our competitive position in the global automotive supply industry and determine what actions may be required to maintain and improve that position.
As production levels rise in strategic growth markets such as China, we will continue to focus on investing appropriate levels of capital to support anticipated growth and expansion. These investments are critical as they position us to benefit from expected long-term growth opportunities.
We believe that a continued focus on research, development and engineering activities is also critical to maintaining our leadership position in the industry and meeting our long-term objectives. Further, despite cautious global economic sentiment, we continue our commitment to invest in facilities and infrastructure in order to support new business awards and achieve our long-term growth plans, as evidenced by our expectation of continued increases in capital expenditures throughout 2013.
We also continue to focus on our growth strategies, cash generation and capital structure improvement, while managing through the near-term industry challenges, such as the weak economic conditions in Europe.
Although we believe that we have established a firm foundation for ongoing profitability, we continue to evaluate our global footprint to ensure that we are properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions and the production plans of our customers. Due to prolonged uncertainties in Europe, we continue to assess our cost base in the region and intend to continue our restructuring efforts, including plant rationalizations, targeted workforce reductions and adjustments to certain of our fixed costs, to align our operations with the existing environment in that region.
We also regularly evaluate our operations and customer agreements to ensure alignment with our strategic and risk mitigation objectives. As part of this process, we have been evaluating a supply agreement (the "Agreement") entered into with a major customer pertaining to certain of our North American brake component and assembly operations, which are included within our Chassis Systems segment. Based on our assessment of the benefits, costs and risks going forward, on September 13, 2013 we issued a notice to effectuate a "termination" of that Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the notice triggered a 90 day consultation period for the parties. The Company has concerns that it may not reach agreement with the customer on acceptable terms for continued supply by the end of this period, and thus this business may be terminated. Restructuring and asset impairment charges estimated to be $15 million could be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2013. In 2012, the operations under the Agreement had revenues and a net earnings before tax margin of approximately $700 million and 6.5%, respectively.
Antitrust Investigations
The U.S. Antitrust Investigation into our Occupant Safety Systems business was concluded when the court approved a plea agreement between one of our German subsidiaries and the DOJ. However, the Antitrust Investigation by the European Commission is ongoing and its duration and outcome remain uncertain. While we cannot estimate the ultimate financial impact of the European investigation, we will continue to evaluate developments in this matter on a regular basis and will record an accrual as and when appropriate.
Our Debt and Capital Structure
During the first nine months of 2013, we continued to focus on improving the strength, flexibility, and efficiency of our capital structure, resulting in outstanding debt of $1.9 billion and a cash balance
34
Table of Contents
of $1.0 billion. In February 2013, we issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior unsecured notes due 2021 in a private placement. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $394 million after deducting debt issue costs. In addition, we reduced our debt by repurchasing $91 million in principal amount of our senior unsecured notes due in 2014 and 2017 during the first nine months of 2013.
As market conditions warrant, we 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 otherwise, or we may redeem such debt securities. Further, our 8.875% Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at established redemption prices on or after December 1, 2013 and we intend to initiate such a redemption.
In 2012, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program that is intended to offset, on an ongoing basis, the dilution created by our stock incentive plan for up to 1.5 million shares in 2013 and each subsequent year (the "Anti-Dilution Program"). The Company's board of directors also approved in 2012 a share repurchase program to acquire up to $1 billion of our outstanding common stock through December 31, 2014. As discussed in Part II, Item 5 "Other Information," on October 29, 2013, the Company announced that its board of directors had increased the amount of shares authorized to be repurchased under this program by an additional $1 billion, bringing the total repurchase authorization thereunder to $2 billion, and extended the program through December 31, 2016. We are not obligated to repurchase any number of shares or dollar amount under either program, and the specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market and business conditions and other factors. For the nine months ended September 27, 2013 we utilized $460 million of cash on hand to repurchase approximately 6.5 million shares of common stock, a portion of which remains subject to an additional final share settlement under an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") program entered into in September 2013.
See "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" below, Part II, Item 2(c), "Issuer repurchases of equity securities," of this Report and Part II, Item 5 "Other Information," as well as Note 10 and Note 12 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for further information.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 27, 2013 to the Three Months Ended September 28, 2012
Sales increased by $247 million, or 6%, for the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2012. The increase in sales was driven by higher production volume primarily in North America, China and Brazil, and increased demand for our active and passive safety products, together totaling $176 million, and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $76 million, partially offset by lower sales of $5 million related to a business divested in the third quarter of 2012.

- (a)
- Source: Primarily IHS Automotive light vehicle production forecast.
For the three months ended September 27, 2013, the increase in TRW sales in North America was less than the increase in vehicle production primarily due to the mix of platforms and products sold, including lower module sales, during the quarter. In Europe, sales were positively impacted by foreign currency exchange. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange, sales increased 1% in Europe, which was generally consistent with the vehicle production in the region. In China and Brazil, the foreign-exchange adjusted increase in our sales was higher than the industry production increase due to a favorable concentration of customers and increased demand for our safety products.
Cost of sales increased by $211 million, or 6%, for the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2012. The increase was driven primarily by additional costs associated with increased volume and non-commodity inflation, net of cost reductions, together which totaled $144 million, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $73 million, partially offset by lower cost of sales of $6 million related to a business divested in the third quarter of 2012. These items resulted in the following variances to the major components within our cost of sales:

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the three months ended September 27, 2013 was 10.7% compared to 10.4% for the three months ended September 28, 2012. This margin improvement was primarily driven by additional cost reductions, partially offset by costs to support future growth (such as increased engineering and other salary costs) and a higher proportion of lower margin business.
Gross profit increased by $36 million for the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2012. This increase was primarily driven by the favorable impact of higher volume (net of the proportion of lower margin business) of $50 million, the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $3 million, and the elimination of a loss from a business divested in the third quarter of 2012 of $1 million, partially offset by increased non-commodity inflation, engineering, salary and other costs (net of cost reductions) of $18 million.
Administrative and selling expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 3.5% for the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to 3.7% for the three months ended September 28, 2012. Total administrative and selling expenses remained unchanged as compared to the same period in the prior year. An increase in share-based compensation of $3 million was offset by a decrease in expenses as a result of restructuring actions previously taken as well as other items in the amount of $3 million.
37
Table of Contents
Restructuring charges and asset impairments were $5 million for the three months ended September 27, 2013 compared to $3 million for the three months ended September 28, 2012. This increase was driven by higher severance and other charges of $1 million and higher asset impairments of $1 million.
Other (income) expense—net decreased by $7 million for the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in foreign currency losses of $8 million and lower gains on sales of assets and divestures of $3 million, partially offset by increased royalty and grant income of $6 million.
Interest expense—net increased by $7 million for the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of increased debt levels, including the issuance of the 4.50% Senior Notes.
Loss on retirement of debt—net was $1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2012. During the three months ended September 28, 2012, we entered into the Eighth Credit Agreement and recorded a loss on retirement of debt of $1 million related to the write-off of a portion of debt issuance costs associated with the prior credit agreement.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 27, 2013 was $62 million on pre-tax earnings of $268 million as compared to an income tax expense of $68 million on pre-tax earnings of $244 million for the three months ended September 28, 2012. Income tax expense for both periods includes a tax benefit of $18 million and $9 million, respectively, relating to the enactment of tax legislation and reduction in corporate income tax rates in the United Kingdom.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 27, 2013 to the Nine Months Ended September 28, 2012
Sales increased by $527 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The increase in sales was driven by higher production volume primarily in North America, China and Brazil (net of lower volume in Europe) and increased global module sales, together totaling $451 million, and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $104 million, partially offset by lower sales of $28 million related to a business divested in the third quarter of 2012.

industry production increase due to a favorable concentration of customers and increased demand for our safety products.
Cost of sales increased by $483 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The increase was driven primarily by additional costs associated with increased volume and non-commodity inflation, net of cost reductions, together which totaled $417 million, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $99 million, partially offset by lower cost of sales of $33 million related to a business divested in the third quarter of 2012. These items resulted in the following variances to the major components within our cost of sales:

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 was 10.9% compared to 11.0% for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. This slight margin contraction was primarily driven by a higher proportion of lower margin business, the increased costs to support future growth (such as increased engineering and other salary costs), and the non-recurrence of a prior year favorable change in actuarially established recall loss projections.
Gross profit increased by $44 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. This increase was primarily driven by the favorable impact of higher volume (net of the proportion of lower margin business) of $106 million, the elimination of a loss from a business divested in the third quarter of 2012 of $5 million, and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $5 million. Partially offsetting these favorable items was the unfavorable impact of non-commodity inflation, warranty, engineering, salary, and other costs (net of cost reductions) of $56 million and the non-recurrence of a favorable change in actuarially established recall loss projections of $16 million.
Administrative and selling expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 3.3% for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to 3.5% for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The decrease of $8 million was primarily driven by favorable compensation and other expenses of $13 million, and a gain of $6 million recognized as a result of a curtailment of certain retiree medical and other benefits. These decreases were partially offset by a net increase in share-based compensation of $11 million.
Restructuring charges and asset impairments were $43 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 compared to $7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. This increase was driven by higher severance and other charges of $35 million, primarily related to our continued restructuring efforts in Europe, and higher asset impairments of $1 million.
Other (income) expense—net decreased by $18 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. This decrease was primarily due an increase in foreign currency losses of $16 million, lower gains on sales of assets and divestures of $5 million, and an increase in the provision for bad debts of $2 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased royalty and grant income of $6 million.
Interest expense—net increased by $15 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of increased debt levels, including the issuance of the 4.50% Senior Notes, and reduced interest income.

Loss on retirement of debt—net was $5 million for the nine month period ended September 27, 2013 as compared to $6 million for the nine month period ended September 28, 2012. During the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, we repurchased portions of our senior unsecured notes due in 2014 and 2017 totaling $91 million and $48 million, respectively, in principal amount and recorded a loss on retirement of debt of $5 million in both respective periods. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 28, 2012, we entered into the Eighth Credit Agreement and recorded a loss on retirement of debt of $1 million related to the write-off of a portion of debt issuance costs associated with the prior credit agreement.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 was $221 million on pre-tax earnings of $860 million as compared to an income tax expense of $253 million on pre-tax earnings of $871 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. Income tax expense for the period ended September 27, 2013, includes a tax benefit of $18 million related to the enactment of tax legislation and reduction in corporate income tax rates in the United Kingdom and a tax benefit of $12 million related to the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The income tax rate for the period ended September 28, 2012 includes a tax benefit of $9 million related to the enactment of tax legislation and reduction in corporate income tax rates in the United Kingdom.
Segment Results of Operations
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company began to manage and report certain components that were previously within its Electronics segment as part of its Chassis Systems segment. As a result, these components were reclassified and are now included within the Company's Chassis Systems segment. As such, the Company has made appropriate adjustments to its segment-related disclosures for 2013, as well as prior periods.

Certain income and costs not associated with the current operations of our segments are recorded within Corporate. For example, in cost of sales, we recognize income related to our closed pension plan in the U.K. within Corporate. This plan included hourly employees, substantially all of whom are no longer actively employed by the Company.
For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, Corporate-related costs included a $3 million and $11 million unfavorable change, respectively, in share-based compensation expense.
For the nine months ended September 28, 2012, Corporate-related costs included a $16 million favorable change in actuarially established recall loss projections due to improved historical claims data.

Comparison of the three months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012:
Sales, including intersegment sales, increased by $187 million, or 7%, for the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2012. This increase was driven primarily by favorable volume of $156 million and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $36 million, partially offset by lower sales of $5 million related to a business divested in the third quarter of 2012.
Cost of sales increased by $168 million, or 7%, for the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2012, primarily consisting of higher material costs of $126 million and higher labor and other costs of $42 million. These increases were primarily driven by additional costs associated with higher volume, non-commodity inflation and other costs (net of cost reduction efforts) of $134 million and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $40 million, partially offset by lower cost of sales of $6 million related to a business divested in the third quarter of 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that funds generated from operations, cash on hand and available borrowing capacity will be adequate to fund our liquidity requirements. These requirements, which are significant,
46
Table of Contents
generally consist of working capital requirements, company-sponsored research and development programs, capital expenditures, contributions for pensions and postretirement benefits other than pensions, and debt service requirements. In addition, we have been using available funds to reduce debt and to repurchase shares of our common stock under our board approved share repurchase programs. 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 may be affected by general economic, industry specific, financial market, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, including developments related to the ongoing Antitrust Investigations.
On an annual basis, our primary source of liquidity is 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 other credit facilities, subject to certain conditions. We continuously monitor 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 depend on the financial position of our customers and suppliers, and on industry conditions.
As of September 27, 2013, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries was $800 million. If these funds were needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to provide for U.S. federal and state income tax, foreign income tax, and foreign withholding taxes on the funds repatriated. We have already provided for these taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 740-30-25 "Income Taxes" on a portion of these funds. However, for the remainder of the funds we have not provided for such taxes, as it is our intention that those funds are permanently reinvested outside the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 was $240 million as compared to cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 28, 2012 of $245 million. This decrease of $5 million between the two periods was primarily the result of increased working capital requirements of $269 million, which was largely offset by lower cash outflows of other liabilities, including customer pricing and warranty matters, and higher cash earnings, as well as the non-recurrence of employee benefit-related payments of $40 million, which included the payout for certain cash incentive and retention awards for executive officers and vice presidents that vested and were paid during the first quarter of 2012, and lower cash paid for taxes and pension of $33 million and $19 million, respectively.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 was $410 million as compared to $313 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2012.
Capital expenditures were $411 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to $325 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. These capital expenditures were primarily related to investing in new facilities, 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 $740 million during 2013 on capital expenditures as we continue to invest in strategic growth.
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $41 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013, as compared $209 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2012.

Table of Contents
During the nine months ended September 27, 2013, we received $394 million of proceeds, net of fees, from the issuance of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior unsecured notes. Further, we also received $90 million of proceeds under various borrowing arrangements. Additionally, we used $460 million of cash on hand to repurchase approximately 6.5 million shares of our common stock. We also utilized $96 million of cash on hand to optionally repurchase portions of our senior unsecured notes, totaling $91 million in principal amount and utilized $25 million of cash on hand to redeem other long-term debt. Also, during the nine months ended September 27, 2013, certain of our subsidiaries paid $15 million of dividends to noncontrolling stockholders.
During the nine months ended September 28, 2012, we used $102 million of cash on hand to repurchase 2.3 million shares of our common stock. Also during the nine months ended September 28, 2012, we utilized $53 million of cash on hand to optionally repurchase portions of our senior unsecured notes, totaling $48 million in principal amount. In the same period, certain of our subsidiaries paid $34 million of dividends to noncontrolling stockholders.
Other Sources of Liquidity
Liquidity Facilities. We may draw down on, and use proceeds from, our Revolving Credit Facility to fund normal working capital needs from month to month in conjunction with available cash on hand. As of September 27, 2013, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in $1.4 billion of availability.
On September 27, 2013, our subsidiaries in the Asia Pacific region also had various uncommitted credit facilities, of which $196 million was unutilized. We expect that these additional facilities will be drawn from time to time for normal working capital purposes and to fund capital expenditures in support of planned expansion in Asia Pacific.
Under normal working capital utilization of liquidity, portions of the amounts drawn under our liquidity facilities typically are paid back throughout the month as cash from customers is received. We could then draw upon such facilities again for working capital purposes in the same or succeeding months.
The agreement that governs our senior revolving credit facility 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 restrict, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, the ability to incur additional indebtedness, repay or repurchase other indebtedness, repurchase capital stock and pay cash dividends on our common stock. As of September 27, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants. Such covenants are described in more detail in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
See "—Senior Credit Facilities" in Note 10 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for a description of our Revolving Credit Facility.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 27, 2013.
OUTLOOK
For the full year 2013, we expect revenue to be approximately $17.1 billion, including fourth quarter sales of approximately $4.2 billion. These sales figures are based on expected 2013 production levels of 16.2 million units in North America, 18.9 million units in Europe, an increase in production levels in China and our expectations for foreign currency exchange rates.
In North America, the industry recovery continues to trend in a positive direction with moderate growth. Despite signs of stabilization in Europe, we do not expect an immediate or sharp recovery in the automotive industry in this region. Economic volatility may have a negative impact on our profitability in the fourth quarter, as we react to varying production levels. Growth in China is expected to continue at a moderate pace for the remainder of the year. Considering expected long-term growth within China, we continue to invest appropriate levels of capital, engineering and infrastructure to underpin our expansion.
We continue to evaluate our global footprint to ensure that we are properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions and the production plans of our customers. Due to prolonged uncertainties in Europe, we continue to assess our cost base in the region and we intend to continue our restructuring initiatives to align our operations with the existing environment in that region. As a result, we expect to incur restructuring charges of approximately $50 million to $65 million for the full year, which includes the impact of potential plant closures, targeted workforce reductions and adjustments to certain of our fixed costs, primarily in Europe. We believe these efforts are necessary actions in order to preserve our competitiveness and will provide lasting benefit over the long term.
Further, we have been evaluating a supply agreement (the "Agreement") entered into with a major customer pertaining to certain of our North American brake component and assembly operations, which are included within our Chassis Systems segment. As previously disclosed, based on our assessment of the benefits, costs and risks going forward, on September 13, 2013 we issued a notice to effectuate a "termination" of that Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the notice triggered a 90 day consultation period for the parties. The Company has concerns that it may not reach agreement with the customer on acceptable terms for continued supply by the end of this period, and thus this business may be terminated. Restructuring and asset impairment charges estimated to be
49
Table of Contents
$15 million (included in our full year estimate) could be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2013. In 2012, the operations under the Agreement had revenues and a net earnings before tax margin of approximately $700 million and 6.5%, respectively. In the event we exit this brake business, and based on our preliminary estimates for vehicle production, currency and other factors, TRW's 2014 sales would be expected to range between $17.0 billion and $17.3 billion.
In addition, we regularly review our pension plans to ensure we are managing our obligations and costs appropriately and may undertake various actions to defease such obligations. For example, under a current program, we have offered voluntary lump sum payment opportunities to certain of our U.S. employees. These voluntary lump sum payments are expected to be accounted for and paid in the fourth quarter of 2013, and will be funded with pension plan assets after Company contributions are made in line with previous projections. While we expect to incur a settlement loss in conjunction with the payments, the amount cannot be determined at this time.
While we expect net commodity inflation to be immaterial for the year, we will continue to monitor commodity costs and work with our suppliers and customers to manage changes in such costs.
We continue to monitor the entire Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply base and its ability to perform as expected as it faces additional financial and operational challenges in the current environment due to variable production levels and economic concerns, particularly in Europe. The inability of any major supplier to meet its commitments could negatively impact us either directly or by negatively affecting our customers. We pursue alternate sources of supply where necessary and practicable.
The Antitrust Investigation by the European Commission is ongoing. While we cannot estimate the ultimate financial impact of the European investigation at this time, we will continue to evaluate developments in this matter on a regular basis and will record an accrual as and when appropriate.
Despite the various challenges that the automotive industry faces, we are confident that we will manage through them successfully. We believe that our growth prospects, strong balance sheet, ability to generate cash and our broad array of innovative products provide a firm foundation for continued profitability.

The information concerning the ongoing antitrust matters and other legal proceedings involving the Company contained in Note 16 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(c) Issuer repurchases of equity securities
On February 16, 2012, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a share repurchase program that is intended to offset, on an ongoing basis, the dilution created by the Company's stock incentive plan for up to 1.5 million shares in 2013 and each subsequent year (the "Anti-Dilution Program"). The Anti-Dilution Program does not have an expiration date. In addition, on October 1, 2012, the Company announced a share repurchase program that had been approved by its board of directors during the third quarter of 2012 to acquire up to $1 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock through December 31, 2014. As discussed below in Part II, Item 5 "Other Information," on October 29, 2013, the Company announced that its board of directors had increased the amount of shares authorized to be repurchased under this program by an additional $1 billion, bringing the total repurchase authorization thereunder to $2 billion, and extended the program through December 31, 2016. Both repurchase programs may be modified, suspended or terminated by the board of directors at any time without prior notice. The Company anticipates acquiring the shares under both programs from time to time through open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions including accelerated share repurchase transactions, other derivative transactions, or otherwise, at such times and in such amounts as Company management deems appropriate, given prevailing financial and market conditions. Repurchases may also be made under trading plans that may be adopted from time to time in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, which would permit the Company to repurchase shares when it might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. However, the Company is not obligated to repurchase any shares under either program.
In September 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, the Company made an up-front payment of $125 million, from cash on hand, to the financial institution and received an initial delivery of approximately 1.4 million shares in the third quarter of 2013. The total number of shares to be ultimately delivered, and therefore the average price paid per share, will be determined at the end of the repurchase period based on the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during that period. Under the ASR agreement, the repurchase period ends on October 30, 2013.
The Company had entered into a prior ASR agreement in May 2013. Under that ASR agreement, the Company made an up-front payment of $125 million and received an initial delivery of approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock in the second quarter of 2013. Upon settlement in the third quarter of 2013, the Company received an additional 205,965 shares resulting in an overall weighted-average price per share of $64.98 for that ASR.
The amounts available for share repurchases are restricted by our debt agreements. If our leverage ratio as defined in our senior credit facilities is greater than 1.5 to 1.0, our ability to repurchase shares

of our common stock is restricted pursuant to a formula based on our consolidated net income. Certain of the indentures governing our outstanding notes also limit our ability to repurchase shares.
The following table summarizes information relating to purchases of the Company's common stock made by or on behalf of the Company during the third quarter of 2013, including purchases made pursuant to the ASR agreement discussed above.

- Monthly information is presented by reference to the Company's fiscal months during the third quarter of 2013, based upon settlement of each transaction.
- (b)
- All of the shares indicated were purchased under the Company's expanded $2 billion repurchase program announced on October 1, 2012 and expanded in October 2013 that now extends through December 31, 2016. The share numbers in this column reflect the shares received upon settlement of the May ASR in the third quarter, for which payment was made and reflected in the second quarter.
- (c)
- Excluding commissions.
- (d)
- The dollar values in this column reflect the $125 million up-front payment made under the September ASR agreement, and reflect the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the $1 billion repurchase program, but do not reflect the October 2013 expansion to $2 billion. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company reached its 2013 board-authorized limit under the Anti-Dilution Program; however, additional shares may be purchased under the Anti-Dilution Program in 2014 and subsequent years.
- (e)
- Under the September ASR agreement, the Company paid $125 million and received an initial delivery of approximately 1.4 million shares of its common stock in the third quarter of 2013. The average price paid per share reflected in the table for the ASR transaction was based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date the ASR agreement was executed. The total number of shares to be ultimately delivered, and therefore the average price paid per share, will be determined at the end of the repurchase period based on the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during that period. See Note 12 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
In addition, 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. 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 and the exercise of stock-settled stock appreciation rights 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 purchases or transactions described in this paragraph are issuer repurchases for the purposes of Item 2 of this Report.
Item 5. Other Information
On October 29, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that its board of directors had increased the amount of shares authorized to be repurchased under its existing share repurchase program by an additional $1 billion, bringing the total repurchase authorization under that program to $2 billion, and extended the program through December 31, 2016. The Company anticipates completing the program over the next three years, although the Company is not obligated to repurchase any shares under the program. As indicated previously, the program is anticipated to be funded through cash from operations and available liquidity facilities, and purchases under the program will generally be made subject to certain restrictions relating to volume, price and timing in an effort to minimize the impact of the purchases upon the market for the securities. Shares repurchased through the program will continue to be retired. The repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated by the board of directors at any time without prior notice. Additional information regarding the share repurchase program is contained in Part II, Item 2 of this Report.
This repurchase program is in addition to the Anti-Dilution Program authorized by the Company's board of directors which is also discussed in Part II, Item 2 of this Report.
