TRANSFORMING the way we do business to prepare for tomorrow’s world of opportunity requires passion. Honoring our 138 year history of PIONEERING the technologies that make commercial vehicles safer and more EFFICIENT requires constant innovation. The technology that helped us grow in Europe and North America over the last century positions us strongly to serve emerging markets as their needs mature for SAFER, more efficient and more ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY trucks, buses and trailers. Our passion for innovation means anticipating the industry’s needs, and providing for them whenever and wherever they arise.
On August 1, 2007, WABCO marked a new milestone when it became an independent public company. We took full responsibility for a solid business that we began transforming in 2004 using continuous change management concepts pioneered by the Japanese automotive industry.
Our vision is always to move faster than the industry and constantly enhance all elements of the value chain: from connecting and partnering with our global customers to designing, developing, manufacturing and supporting the products they need with the quality, reliability, efficiency and delivery performance they expect.
The success of WABCO is rooted in the late 20th century when it flourished by anticipating and satisfying the technology needs of the commercial vehicle industry in Europe and North America. In the 21st century, the full potential of WABCO will be realized as technology, globalization and continuous change converge to enable us to anticipate and satisfy the needs of all customers in all markets.
OUR MARKET In recent years, WABCO has benefited from strong growth in global demand for commercial vehicles. This trend is linked to increased economic and industrial activity, particularly in the developing regions of the world.
Sales in Europe, our largest market, have expanded over the last five years at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 10 percent, driven by rising content per vehicle and fast growth in Eastern Europe. In North America, our second largest market, sales through our joint ventures with ArvinMeritor Inc. and Cummins Inc. have grown at a 7 percent CAGR over the same period.
Growth in Asia has been accelerating at a 17 percent CAGR over the last five years. In 2007 our sales across the region exceeded $225 million, excluding more than $100 million of additional unconsolidated sales from our joint venture with the TVS Group in India.

![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001193125-08-099559/g65903img4.jpg)
In China, we doubled our revenues in 2007 versus 2006. In South America our revenues have swiftly expanded at a more than 20 percent CAGR over the past five years, propelled by continued strong growth in Brazil.
Differences in regional market requirements are reflected in the average content per vehicle for our products and systems. In Western Europe, which leads the world in the adoption of advanced technology, WABCO’s applicable content per vehicle exceeds $3,000. In North America, where technology lags Western Europe due to less stringent regulations and differing market requirements, the applicable WABCO content per vehicle is under $1,000. In China and India, penetration of advanced technology has been limited to a niche of high-end truck and bus platforms, resulting in an average applicable content per vehicle for our technologies under $300.
However, these manufacturers in emerging countries are progressively adopting new technologies to comply with increasingly stricter regulations, support their export strategy and differentiate their products in highly competitive local markets. In addition, more trucks were built in China in 2007 than in Europe or North America. All of these market differences represent significant opportunities for continued growth at WABCO.
TECHNOLOGY WABCO has consistently outperformed the growth in global commercial vehicle production. Such success is driven by our PASSION FOR GROWTH.
We owe our success to our exceptional engineering capabilities that have pioneered many of the fundamental innovations in commercial vehicles related to systems that generate, manage and utilize compressed air, as well as other electronics and controls. For example, almost 30 years ago, passion pushed our engineers to deliver safety breakthroughs such as Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) that later led to developments like Electronic Braking Systems (EBS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
Our PASSION FOR TECHNOLOGY continues to drive us as we constantly enhance existing technologies and break new ground in exciting areas such as Vehicle Electronic Architecture (VEA) and Driver Assistance Systems (DAS).
We will maintain our focus on technology – the foundation of our business – while we continue our transformation to become a global and lean enterprise.
THE WORLD European commercial vehicle manufacturers are developing footholds in emerging markets and will need strategic partners to support them in their growth ambitions. In parallel, Asian manufacturers are not only growing locally but some are also expanding regionally, even globally. Our PASSION FOR THE WORLD allows us to more rapidly adapt to this fast evolving environment and better serve this diverse set of customers. We are investing the appropriate resources, especially in management capabilities, to develop our manufacturing, sourcing and engineering footprint in emerging countries while focusing our European resources on more complex and leading edge technologies.

For example, in 2007 we inaugurated our new factory in Qingdao, China. With the support of our lean manufacturing specialists, we are capitalizing on this greenfield development to achieve the highest standards of process capability and performance. Already more than 1.5 million ABS valves have been manufactured there to satisfy demand both in Asia and North America. Quality performance is world class: 6 ppm or six defects out of every million parts produced. In 2007 we also established production of a new high-performance compressor in Qingdao for the local market, achieving productivity and quality at the highest level of any of our factories.
In addition, we leverage our regional presence to provide flexibility in optimizing our manufacturing, sourcing and engineering activities. In 2007 nearly half of our direct workforce was located in developing countries from which we also sourced over one third of our material. Around one fourth of our engineering resources are based in emerging countries.
In the 21st century, the full POTENTIAL of WABCO will be realized as technology, globalization and continuous change converge to enable us to anticipate and satisfy the needs of all customers in all markets.
THE AFTERMARKET Our AFTERMARKET team has intensified its focus to expand its global reach and ability to serve customers everywhere in the world. Serving aftermarket customers requires an extensive and efficient distribution network to provide a broad range of product offerings as well as increased service, support and technical training.
We have been passionate about aftermarket growth: expanding distribution channels beyond our traditional markets in Western Europe, enriching our product offerings, and adding new services such as training and diagnostic capabilities. The result has been a 10 percent CAGR over the last three years.
EXECUTION
Our growth initiatives require a PASSION FOR EXECUTION. This is the purpose of our WABCO Operating System. It defines a path to transform every aspect of our business by:
Structuring our organization to maximize the flow of accountability, starting with our customers right through to our operations
Adopting Six Sigma Lean philosophies across our supply chain
Improving our product development processes through adoption of advanced tools and methodologies

PASSION FOR GROWTH
OUTPERFORMING a growing industry consistently requires excellence to execute our growth strategy everywhere commercial vehicles are built and used in the world. European commercial vehicle manufacturers are developing stronger footholds in strategically important EMERGING MARKETS such as China, India and Eastern Europe. Domestic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in these regions are also seeking to strengthen their own positions by increasing TECHNOLOGY content on trucks, buses and trailers. AFTERMARKET opportunities continue to grow as the number of trucks in use expands.
At WABCO, we are passionate about growth. Since 2002 we have increased our sales in local currencies by more than 10 percent per year. Our growth strategy focuses on continually introducing new technologies, further expanding geographically and extending development of our aftermarket.
Every year, WABCO introduces new products and technologies into the commercial vehicle market. This flow of innovation enables us to continually increase our content per vehicle in all regions of the world. In Europe, for example, our sales to truck and bus manufacturers have outpaced the average vehicle production growth rate by more than 3 percent annually over the last five years.
We have also succeeded in introducing some of the technologies developed for commercial vehicles to new customers such as passenger car manufacturers and container carrier makers. Growth in our niche automotive products exceeded 40 percent in 2007.
Globalization is also a powerful growth lever for WABCO. Our ability to rapidly increase resources in developing markets, adapt our products to local needs, and expand our flexible and competitive supply chain puts us in the sweet spot of a growing industry.
Demand for technology in emerging markets is growing, driven by increasing safety and environmental standards. WABCO is well positioned to capture these opportunities. For instance, WABCO ABS has become the system of choice in China, partly because we were first to market. We are following the same strategy in India where a phased introduction of an ABS mandate began in 2006.
Beyond ABS, customers in emerging markets are increasingly interested in adopting advanced technologies such as transmission automation systems, air disc brakes, and modern air compressors.
We are creating further aftermarket opportunities as we continue to expand where and how we serve customers. Leveraging our far-reaching distribution channels and fleet support capabilities, we are introducing new aftermarket products and services, such as training and diagnostic tools. Aftermarket sales have grown at a 10 percent CAGR over the last three years.

PASSION FOR TECHNOLOGY
PIONEERING technologies has defined us for the last three decades. It started in 1981 with the introduction of an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) on board a commercial vehicle, followed by the introduction of pneumatic transmission automation systems, a technology that is still EXCLUSIVELY supplied by WABCO today. We then INNOVATED Electronically Controlled Air Suspension (ECAS) for buses, trucks and trailers. We advanced our ABS technology and introduced Electronic Braking System (EBS) technology in 1996 which allowed us to be the FIRST company to introduce the concept of full Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in 2001. ESC is anticipated to become mandatory on heavy trucks and buses in Europe by 2010.
Throughout our history, we have always upheld our commitment to supply technology and systems to make commercial vehicles safer, more efficient and more comfortable while reducing their operating cost and environmental impact.
WABCO products and systems generate, manage, and utilize compressed air, and they also cover other electronics and controls. They integrate with the engine, interface with the transmission, or control and perform the air suspension as well as braking functions. Furthermore, they cover a broad range of technologies from purely mechanical systems to complex electronic devices. In particular, WABCO specializes in “mechatronics,” the synergistic engineering and integration of precision mechanics and electronic technologies.
WABCO was the first to develop and introduce these advanced technologies in Europe, and later in North America. We were also the first to apply them in other parts of the world such as China, India and Brazil.
Our innovation continued with the development of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) in 2001, Integrated Vehicle Tire Monitoring (IVTM) in 2003 and new generation Air Disc Brakes in 2004, a breakthrough technology that uses 40 percent fewer parts and creates weight savings of up to 110 lbs per truck.
In 2007 we developed the OnGuard™ collision mitigation system and introduced it to the North American market. OnGuard interfaces with the truck’s braking, engine and retardation systems to initiate actions that help drivers avoid collisions. Also in North America, we launched RSSplus™, a roll mitigation system for trailers that integrates ABS and provides Info Link™ data communication between the tractor and trailer.
The exceptional talents and capabilities of our 800 engineers worldwide remain the foundation of our ability to continually innovate and satisfy the rising need for technologies in the world of commercial vehicles.

PASSION FOR EXECUTION
PERSEVERING is essential to drive our business transformation. The WABCO Operating System is our roadmap and one of the most ADVANCED management environments in our industry. This means WABCO customers are increasingly benefiting from the performance ADVANTAGES that we deliver across the value chain.
Execution is an increasingly powerful growth lever and we strive to use it to differentiate WABCO in a fast changing, complex and competitive landscape.
The accelerating globalization of the commercial vehicle industry underscores why excellence in execution is becoming central to our continued success. It calls for more than technology; it demands continuous change. Our response is to transform how we do business through an integrated operating system: change management involving all employees, organizational development across the value chain, true customer partnerships, fast and flexible product development, and Six Sigma Lean processes from suppliers to customers.
A case in point: in Wroclaw, Poland, we have achieved a breakthrough by introducing the first group of “mixed model” assembly lines. This means 6 different product families are now built using 3 mixed model lines that replace 9 conventional lines. This innovation has resulted in significantly increased flexibility and efficiency.
In Europe, our new collaborative product development platform is designing our next generation of EBS systems to be launched in 2011. The connection among our engineers, manufacturing experts, customers and suppliers has successfully optimized the products and systems design and lowered the number of parts on key components by 20 percent. Moreover, our pilot assembly line established in 2007 – 4 years ahead of volume production – will allow full optimization of processes to deliver breakthrough performance.
Supported by excellence in supply chain management and product development, we strengthen our capabilities to shorten time to market, improve reliability and lower costs. In 2007, we decreased our warranty cost rate by more than 30 percent.
The perseverance of more than 7,700 employees around the world truly propels WABCO’s passion for execution.

PASSION FOR RESULTS
WABCO had an outstanding year in 2007 DELIVERING excellent results. We demonstrated yet again our ability to continuously OUTPERFORM the growing global market for commercial vehicles. Through the WABCO Operating System, we achieved PRODUCTIVITY gains that more than offset the effects of pricing pressure, as well as the inefficiencies caused by much higher market demand in Europe than anticipated by the industry.
In 2007 we grew sales to a record $2.4 billion, up 20 percent year on year, or up 11 percent after adjusting for foreign exchange. We continued to outperform commercial vehicle production in every major market. For example, in Western Europe, our most important market, we grew by 12 percent whereas truck and bus production went up by 10 percent. In North America, where the market fell by 37 percent, we were able to contain our sales decline at 22 percent.
We faced headwinds throughout the year. Industry experts did not anticipate the market’s overall growth, particularly in Europe. We had to stretch our factories and those of our suppliers to help support our customers in facing their challenges. Sales price pressure also continued due to competitive conditions and commitments to customers in long-term agreements.
By transforming how we do business –through the WABCO Operating System – we increased productivity during 2007 and, as a result, we more than overcame the challenges.
In 2007 we increased operating income to $242 million, up 8 percent year on year in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On a performance basis, excluding spin-off related and
operational streamlining costs, we increased operating income to $282 million, up 22 percent. This represents an operating margin improvement of 20 basis points year on year on a performance basis. However, when excluding the negative impact of currency exchange, we achieved an operating margin improvement of 60 basis points year on year.
We also continue to invest in our future. In 2007 we spent $10 million more than the previous year for product engineering and new development programs.
In 2007 our reported diluted earnings per share decreased to $1.81, down 9 percent year on year. On a performance basis, however, diluted earnings per share increased to $3.01, up 45 percent.
We returned $132 million in cash to our shareholders by paying dividends and buying back 2.6 million shares since August 1, 2007 when we became an independent public company.
Moving forward, we will continue to maximize growth and enhance productivity, enabling us to improve operating margin and mitigate the adverse effects of industry challenges.

Note: This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as that term is defined by the SEC. Non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation are generally identified by the terms “adjusted” or “performance.” Sales excluding the effects of foreign exchange is a non-GAAP financial measure. Additionally, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share on a “performance basis” are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude separation costs, operational streamlining expenses and one-time and discrete tax items. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP measures.
Separation (spin-off) costs include all the incremental costs to establish WABCO as a stand-alone separate independent company. It also includes the costs associated with certain liabilities, including contingent liabilities, that have been assumed by WABCO from American Standard in the separation but are not related to the Vehicle Controls Business. These costs would include the (i) periodic adjustments to the carrying values of the liability, (ii) interest on certain liabilities and (iii) costs to defend certain of these assumed liabilities.
Streamlining costs are those costs that help adjust the company’s workforce and other resources to changing market requirements.
