FEDERAL-MOGUL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2013
Interim Financial Statements:The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Federal-Mogul Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The Company’s management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation:The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of the Company, all wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any partially-owned subsidiary that the Company has the ability to control. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for using the cost method. The Company does not consolidate any entity for which it has a variable interest based solely on power to direct the activities and significant participation in the entity’s expected results that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting interests. Further, the Company’s joint ventures are businesses established and maintained in connection with its operating strategy. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Reclassifications:Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in this filing. This is due to the Company’s presentation of divested businesses as discontinued operations and the re-segmentation of its reporting segments. See Notes 4 and 21, respectively, for further details.
Use of Estimates:The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
Controlling Ownership:Mr. Carl C. Icahn indirectly controls approximately 78% of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock and, by virtue of such stock ownership, is able to control or exert substantial influence over the Company, including the election of directors, business strategy and policies, mergers or other business combinations, acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of common stock or other securities, incurrence of debt or obtaining other sources of financing, and the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock. The existence of a controlling stockholder may have the effect of making it difficult for, or may discourage or delay, a third party from seeking to acquire a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of the stock.
Mr. Icahn’s interests may not always be consistent with the Company’s interests or with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. Mr. Icahn and entities controlled by him may also pursue acquisitions or business opportunities that may or may not be complementary to the Company’s business. To the extent that conflicts of interest may arise between the Company and Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, those conflicts may be resolved in a manner adverse to the Company or its other shareholders.
Icahn Sourcing, LLC (“Icahn Sourcing”) is an entity formed and controlled by Mr. Icahn in order to maximize the potential buying power of a group of entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services and tangible and intangible property at negotiated rates. The Company was a member of the buying group in 2012. Prior to December 31, 2012, the Company did not pay Icahn Sourcing any fees or other amounts with respect to the buying group arrangement.
7
In December, 2012, Icahn Sourcing advised the Company that effective January 1, 2013 it would restructure its ownership and change its name to Insight Portfolio Group LLC (“Insight Portfolio Group”). In connection with the restructuring, the Company acquired a minority equity interest in Insight Portfolio Group and agreed to pay a portion of Insight Portfolio Group’s operating expenses in 2013. In addition to the minority equity interest held by the Company, certain subsidiaries of Icahn Enterprises Holdings, including CVR, Tropicana, ARI, Viskase PSC Metals and WPH also acquired minority equity interests in Icahn Portfolio Group and agreed to pay a portion of Insight Portfolio Group’s operating expenses in 2013. A number of other entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship also acquired equity interests in Insight Portfolio Group and also agreed to pay certain of Insight Portfolio Group’s operating expenses in 2013.
Divestitures: In connection with its strategic planning process, the Company assesses its operations for market position, product technology and capability, and profitability. Those businesses determined by management not to have a sustainable competitive advantage are considered non-core and may be considered for divestiture or other exit activities. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company divested its sintered components operations located in France. This divestiture has been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4 for further details.
Factoring of Trade Accounts Receivable: Federal-Mogul subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Amounts factored under these facilities consist of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31 2013 | | | December 31 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | |
Gross accounts receivable factored | | $ | 248 | | | $ | 217 | |
Gross accounts receivable factored, qualifying as sales | | | 244 | | | | 216 | |
Undrawn cash on factored accounts receivable | | | — | | | | — | |
Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and expenses associated with the factoring of receivables are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31 | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | |
Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales | | $ | 333 | | | $ | 414 | |
Expenses associated with factoring of receivables | | | 1 | | | | 2 | |
Certain of the facilities contain terms that require the Company to share in the credit risk of the factored receivables. The maximum exposures to the Company associated with these certain facilities’ terms were $29 million and $19 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair values of the exposures to the Company associated with these certain facilities’ terms were determined to be immaterial.
Accounts receivables factored but not qualifying as a sale, as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 860,Transfers and Servicing, were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within “Accounts receivable, net” and “Short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt.” The expenses associated with receivables factoring are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other income (expense), net.” Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not incurred as a result of such activities.

Noncontrolling Interests: The following table presents a rollforward of the changes in noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2013 (in millions of dollars):
| | | | |
Equity balance of non-controlling interests as of December 31, 2012 | | $ | 107 | |
Comprehensive income (loss): | | | | |

New Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11,Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU requires companies to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01,Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU limits the scope of the original guidance. These ASU’s are effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU effective January 1, 2013 had no disclosure impact.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU allows for the option to perform a qualitative assessment that may allow companies to forego the annual two-step impairment test for indefinite-lived intangibles. This ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance effective January 1, 2013 had no impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and expands the presentation of changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. The required disclosures have been incorporated into Notes 15 and 16.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04,Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and requires the measurement of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of: a) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors; and b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. Required disclosures include a description of the joint-and-several arrangement and the total outstanding amount of the obligation for all joint parties. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will have minimal impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05,Liabilities (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and requires the release of any cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in foreign entity. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will have minimal impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
The Company’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute management’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions. Restructuring activities include efforts to integrate and rationalize the Company’s businesses and to relocate manufacturing operations to best cost markets.
9
The costs contained within “Restructuring expense, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations are comprised of two types: employee costs (principally termination benefits) and facility closure costs. Termination benefits are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 712,Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, and are recorded when it is probable that employees will be entitled to benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of termination benefits are based on the frequency of past termination benefits, the similarity of benefits under the current plan and prior plans, and the existence of statutory required minimum benefits. Facility closure and other costs are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 420,Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and are recorded when the liability is incurred.
Estimates of restructuring charges are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. In certain countries where the Company operates, statutory requirements include involuntary termination benefits that extend several years into the future. Accordingly, severance payments continue well past the date of termination at many international locations. Thus, restructuring programs appear to be ongoing when, in fact, terminations and other activities have been substantially completed.
Management expects to finance its restructuring programs through cash generated from its ongoing operations or through cash available under its existing credit facility, subject to the terms of applicable covenants. Management does not expect that the execution of these programs will have an adverse impact on its liquidity position.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized net restructuring expenses of $8 million and $6 million, respectively. Of the net restructuring expenses recognized during the first quarter of 2012, $4 million related to headcount reduction actions associated with the aftermarket distribution division of Vehicle Components Solutions.
The following table provides a quarterly summary of the Company’s consolidated restructuring liabilities and related activity as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 by reporting segment. “PT” represents Powertrain and “VCS” represents Vehicle Components Solutions.

Activities under “Restructuring 2012” Program
In June 2012, the Company announced a restructuring plan (“Restructuring 2012”) to reduce or eliminate capacity at several high cost VCS facilities and transfer production to lower cost locations. Restructuring 2012 is anticipated to be completed within two years.
The following table provides a summary of the Company’s Restructuring 2012 liabilities and related activity for each type of exit cost as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

4. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
In connection with its strategic planning process, the Company assesses its operations for market position, product technology and capability, and profitability. Those businesses not core to the Company’s long-term portfolio may be considered for divestiture or other exit activities. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company’s Powertrain Segment completed the divestiture of its sintered components operations located in France. The disposal resulted in a $47 million net loss (no income tax impact), which is included in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax” in the first quarter of 2013.

Interest Rate Risk
The Company, during 2008, entered into a series of five-year interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $1,190 million to hedge the variability of interest payments associated with its variable-rate term loans. During the first quarter of 2013, the majority of these interest rate swap agreements expired. As of March 31, 2013, the remaining five-year interest rate swap agreements have a total notional value of $140 million. Since the interest rate swaps hedge the variability of interest payments on variable debt rate with the same terms, they qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, unrealized net losses of $2 million and $10 million, respectively, were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as a result of these hedges. As of March 31, 2013, losses of $2 million are expected to be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to the consolidated statement of operations within the next 9 months.
These interest rate swaps reduce the Company’s overall interest rate risk. However, due to the remaining outstanding borrowings on the Company’s Debt Facilities and other borrowing facilities that continue to have variable interest rates, management believes that interest rate risk to the Company could be material if there are significant adverse changes in interest rates. To the extent that interest rates change by 25 basis points, the Company’s annual interest expense would show a corresponding change of approximately $7 million and $2 million for years 2014 and 2015, respectively, the term of the Company’s variable-rate term loans.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include natural gas, copper, nickel, tin, zinc, high-grade aluminum and aluminum alloy. Forward contracts are used to mitigate commodity price risk associated with raw materials, generally related to purchases forecast for up to fifteen months in the future.

Unrealized net (losses) gains recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” | | | (1 | ) | | | 1 | |
Substantially all of the commodity price hedge contracts mature within one year.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Africa. As a result, the Company’s financial results can be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and sells its products. The Company’s operating results are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and European currencies.
The Company generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the euro, British pound and Polish zloty.
Information regarding the Company’s outstanding foreign currency hedge contracts is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31 | | | December 31 | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |

Unrealized net gains recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” | | | — | | | | 1 | |
Substantially all of the foreign currency price hedge contracts mature within one year.
The foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments were entered into by the Company in order to offset fluctuations in consolidated earnings caused by changes in currency rates used to translate earnings at foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars over 2013. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and are marked to market through the income statement. The Company recorded a gain of $3 million related to these contracts in “Other income (expense), net” for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Other
The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective hedges, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, are recognized in “Other income (expense), net.” Derivative gains and losses included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for effective hedges are reclassified into operations upon recognition of the hedged transaction. Derivative gains and losses associated with undesignated hedges are recognized in “Other income (expense), net” for outstanding hedges and “Cost of products sold” upon hedge maturity. The Company’s undesignated hedges are primarily commodity hedges and such hedges have become undesignated mainly due to forecasted volume declines.
14
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of accounts receivable and cash investments. The Company’s customer base includes virtually every significant global light and commercial vehicle manufacturer and a large number of distributors, installers and retailers of automotive aftermarket parts. The Company’s credit evaluation process and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions help to mitigate credit risk concentration. No individual customer accounted for more than 6% of the Company’s direct sales during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company has one VCS customer that accounts for approximately 18% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2013. The Company requires placement of cash in financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy.

6. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
FASB ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“FASB ASC 820”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| | |
Level 1: | | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
| |
Level 2: | | Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
| |
Level 3: | | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in FASB ASC 820:
| A. | Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
| B. | Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |
| C. | Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models). |
16
Assets and liabilities remeasured and disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are set forth in the table below:

The Company calculates the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts, commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts using quoted interest rate curves, quoted commodity forward rates and quoted currency forward rates, respectively, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values.
The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted swap interest rates or bank deposit rates. For contracts which, when aggregated by counterparty, are in a liability position, the rates are adjusted by the credit spread that market participants would apply if buying these contracts from the Company’s counterparties.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost was determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Inventories are reduced by an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage.

9. | INVESTMENTS IN NON-CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES |
The Company maintains investments in several non-consolidated affiliates, which are located in China, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Turkey and the United States. The Company does not hold a controlling interest in an entity based on exposure to economic risks and potential rewards (variable interests) for which it is the primary beneficiary. Further, the Company’s joint ventures are businesses established and maintained in connection with its operating strategy and are not special purpose entities.
The following represents the Company’s aggregate investments and direct ownership in these affiliates:

The Company has determined that its investments in Chinese joint venture arrangements are considered to be “limited-lived” as such entities have specified durations ranging from 30 to 50 years pursuant to regional statutory regulations. In general, these arrangements call for extension, renewal or liquidation at the discretion of the parties to the arrangement at the end of the contractual agreement. Accordingly, a reasonable assessment cannot be made as to the impact of such arrangements on the future liquidity position of the Company.
Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

On December 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Debt Facilities”) with Citicorp U.S.A. Inc. as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Syndication Agent and certain lenders. The Debt Facilities include a $540 million revolving credit facility (which is subject to a borrowing base and can be increased under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions) and a $2,960 million term loan credit facility divided into a $1,960 million tranche B loan and a $1,000 million tranche C loan. The obligations under the revolving credit facility mature December 27, 2013 and bear interest for the first six months at LIBOR plus 1.75% or at the alternate base rate (“ABR,” defined as the greater of Citibank, N.A.’s announced prime rate or 0.50% over the Federal Funds Rate) plus 0.75%, and thereafter shall be adjusted in accordance with a pricing grid based on availability under the revolving credit facility. Interest rates on the pricing grid range from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 2.00% and ABR plus 0.50% to ABR plus 1.00%. The tranche B term loans mature December 27, 2014 and the tranche C term loans mature December 27, 2015. All Debt Facilities term loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.9375% or at the alternate base rate (as previously defined) plus 0.9375% at
20
the Company’s election. To the extent that interest rates change by 25 basis points, the Company’s annual interest expense would show a corresponding change of approximately $7 million and $2 million for years 2014 and 2015, respectively, the term of the Company’s Debt Facilities.
The Debt Facilities were initially negotiated and agreement was reached on the majority of significant terms in early 2007. Between the time the terms were agreed in early 2007 and December 27, 2007, interest rates charged on similar debt instruments for companies with similar debt ratings and capitalization levels rose to higher levels. As such, when applying the provisions of fresh-start reporting, the Company estimated a fair value adjustment of $163 million for the available borrowings under the Debt Facilities. This estimated fair value was recorded within the fresh-start reporting, and is being amortized as interest expense over the terms of each of the underlying components of the Debt Facilities. Interest expense associated with the amortization of this fair value adjustment, recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, consists of the following:

| | | | | | | | |
The obligations of the Company under the Debt Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company, and are secured by substantially all personal property and certain real property of the Company and such guarantors, subject to certain limitations. The liens granted to secure these obligations and certain cash management and hedging obligations have first priority.
The Debt Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including, subject to certain exceptions, restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, mandatory prepayment provisions associated with specified asset sales and dispositions, and limitations on i) investments; ii) certain acquisitions, mergers or consolidations; iii) sale and leaseback transactions; iv) certain transactions with affiliates; and v) dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock. Per the terms of the credit facility, $50 million of the Tranche C Term Loan proceeds were deposited in a Term Letter of Credit Account. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
The revolving credit facility has an available borrowing base of $504 million and $451 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company had $37 million of letters of credit outstanding at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, pertaining to the term loan credit facility. To the extent letters of credit associated with the revolving credit facility are issued, there is a corresponding decrease in borrowings available under this facility.

Fair market values are developed by the use of estimates obtained from brokers and other appropriate valuation techniques based on information available as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets. Refer to Note 6,Fair Value Measurements, for definitions of input levels and valuation techniques.
12. | PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS |
The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans (“Pension Benefits”) and health care and life insurance benefits (“Other Postemployment Benefits” or “OPEB”) for certain employees and retirees around the world.
Components of net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Pension Benefits | | | Other Postemployment | |
| | United States Plans | | | Non-U.S. Plans | | | Benefits | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $11 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $32 million. This compares to income tax expense of $9 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $46 million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. Statutory rate, income in jurisdictions with no tax expense due to offsetting valuation allowance release, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 differs from U.S. statutory rate due primarily to pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, income in jurisdictions with no tax expense due to offsetting valuation allowance releases, release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlement, and a tax benefit recorded related to a special economic zone tax incentive in Poland, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits.

14. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Environmental Matters
The Company is a defendant in lawsuits filed, or the recipient of administrative orders issued or demand letters received, in various jurisdictions pursuant to the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) or other similar national, provincial or state environmental remedial laws. These laws provide that responsible parties may be liable to pay for remediating contamination resulting from hazardous substances that were discharged into the environment by them, by prior owners or occupants of property they currently own or operate, or by others to whom they sent such substances for treatment or other disposition at third party locations. The Company has been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies that it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to CERCLA and other national and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation typically requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities.
Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, the Company’s share of the total waste sent to these sites has generally been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is limited.
The Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is actively seeking to resolve these actual and potential statutory, regulatory and contractual obligations. Although difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, the Company has accrued amounts corresponding to its best estimate of the costs associated with such regulatory and contractual obligations on the basis of available information from site investigations and best professional judgment of consultants.
Total environmental liabilities, determined on an undiscounted basis, are included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31 | | | December 31 | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | |
Other current liabilities | | $ | 5 | | | $ | 6 | |
Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent) | | | 9 | | | | 9 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 14 | | | $ | 15 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Management believes that recorded environmental liabilities will be adequate to cover the Company’s estimated liability for its exposure in respect to such matters. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded by the Company, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected. At March 31, 2013, management estimates that reasonably possible material additional losses above and beyond management’s best estimate of required remediation costs as recorded approximate $42 million.
23
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 410,Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. The Company’s primary ARO activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount can be reasonably estimated, typically upon the expectation that an operating site may be closed or sold. ARO fair values are determined based on the Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the remediation activities, generally using a present value technique.
For those sites that the Company identifies in the future for closure or sale, or for which it otherwise believes it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of potential settlement dates, the Company will review these sites for both ARO and impairment issues.
The Company has identified sites with contractual obligations and several sites that are closed or expected to be closed and sold. In connection with these sites, the Company maintains ARO liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31 2013 | | | December 31 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | |
Other current liabilities | | $ | 4 | | | $ | 3 | |
Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent) | | | 25 | | | | 26 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 29 | | | $ | 29 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Company has conditional asset retirement obligations (“CARO”), primarily related to removal costs of hazardous materials in buildings, for which it believes reasonable cost estimates cannot be made at this time because the Company does not believe it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of potential settlement dates for these retirement obligations. Accordingly, the Company is currently unable to determine amounts to accrue for CARO at such sites.
Other Matters
The Company is involved in other legal actions and claims, directly and through its subsidiaries. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these other actions or claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

18. | STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS |
A summary of the Company’s stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) activity as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is as follows:

In February 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted approximately 809,000, 1,039,000 and 437,000 SARs, respectively, to certain employees. The SARs granted in February 2012 (“2012 SARs”) and in February 2011 (“2011 SARs”) vested 25.0% on grant date and 25.0% on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date. The SARs granted in February 2010 (“2010 SARs”) vest 33.3% on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date. All SARs have a term of five years from date of grant. The SARs are payable in cash or, at the election of the Company, in stock. As the Company anticipates paying out SARs exercises in the form of cash, the SARs are being treated as liability awards for accounting purposes. The Company valued the 2012 SARs, the 2011 SARs and the 2010 SARs at March 31, 2013 resulting in fair values of $0.2 million, $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The Company recognized SARs income of $1 million and SARs expense of $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 SARs fair values were estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Fair value of vested portion (in millions) | | $ | 0.1 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 0.2 | | | $ | 0.2 | | | $ | — | |
Expected volatility is based on the average of five-year historical volatility and implied volatility for a group of comparable auto industry companies as of the measurement date. Risk-free rate is determined based upon U.S. Treasury rates over the estimated expected lives. Expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has not paid
26
dividends to holders of its common stock in the recent past nor does it expect to do so in the future. Expected forfeitures are zero as the Company has no historical experience with SARs; the impact of forfeitures is recognized by the Company upon occurrence. Expected life is the average of the time until the award is fully vested and the end of the term.
19. | (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE |

Warrants to purchase 6,951,871 common shares were not included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding, including dilutive shares, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during these periods.
Options to purchase 4,000,000 common shares, which expired on June 29, 2012, were not included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding, including dilutive shares, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during this period.
In April 2013, the Company ceased operations at one of its U.S. manufacturing locations. The resulting reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date of the remaining active plan participants in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan will trigger the recognition of an OPEB curtailment gain of approximately $19 million in the second quarter of 2013.
21. | OPERATIONS BY REPORTING SEGMENT |
Effective September 1, 2012, the Company began operating with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain segment focuses on original equipment products for automotive, heavy duty and industrial applications.
27
The Vehicle Components Solutions segment sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, chassis, wipers and other vehicle components. The new organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and will enable the global Federal-Mogul teams to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with Federal-Mogul premium brands. The division of the global Federal-Mogul business into two operating segments is expected to enhance management focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic or acquisition growth, profit improvement, resource utilization and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in this filing.
The Company evaluates reporting segment performance principally on a non-GAAP Operational EBITDA basis. Management believes that Operational EBITDA provides supplemental information for management and investors to evaluate the operating performance of its business. Management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to Operational EBITDA in assessing the Company’s operating results, as well as in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods as this financial measure approximates the cash flow associated with the operational earnings of the Company. Additionally, Operational EBITDA presents measures of corporate performance exclusive of the Company’s capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired and financed.
During the third quarter of 2012, the Company adjusted its definition of Operational EBITDA to include the service cost component of its U.S. based funded pension plan. Previously, all components of U.S. based funded pension expense were excluded from Operational EDITDA on a total Company basis. Accordingly, Operational EBTIDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain items such as restructuring and impairment charges, Chapter 11 and U.K. Administration related reorganization expenses, gains or losses on the sales of businesses, the non-service cost component of the U.S. based funded pension plan and OPEB curtailment gains or losses. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in this filing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the MD&A included in the Company’s Annual Report.
Overview
Federal-Mogul Corporation is a leading global supplier of technology and innovation in vehicle and industrial products for fuel economy, emissions reduction, alternative energies, environment and safety systems. The Company serves the world’s foremost original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and servicers (“OES”) of automotive, light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, off-road, agricultural, marine, rail, aerospace, power generation and industrial equipment (collectively, “OE”), as well as the worldwide aftermarket. The Company seeks to participate in both of these markets by leveraging its original equipment product engineering and development capability, manufacturing know-how, and expertise in managing a broad and deep range of replacement parts to service the aftermarket. The Company believes that it is uniquely positioned to effectively manage the life cycle of a broad range of products to a diverse customer base.
Federal-Mogul has established a global presence and conducts its operations through various manufacturing, distribution and technical centers that are wholly-owned subsidiaries or partially-owned joint ventures. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company derived 38% of its sales in the United States and 62% internationally. The Company has operations in established markets including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States, and developing markets including Argentina, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and Venezuela. The attendant risks of the Company’s international operations are primarily related to currency fluctuations, changes in local economic and political conditions, and changes in laws and regulations.
Federal-Mogul offers its customers a diverse array of market-leading products for OE and replacement parts (“aftermarket”) applications, including pistons, piston rings, piston pins, cylinder liners, valve seats and guides, ignition products, dynamic seals, bonded piston seals, combustion and exhaust gaskets, static gaskets and seals, rigid
30
heat shields, engine bearings, industrial bearings, bushings and washers, brake disc pads, brake linings, brake blocks, element resistant systems protection sleeving products, acoustic shielding, flexible heat shields, brake system components, chassis products, wipers, fuel pumps and lighting.
The Company operates in an extremely competitive industry, driven by global vehicle production volumes and part replacement trends. Business is typically awarded to the supplier offering the most favorable combination of cost, quality, technology and service. Customers continue to demand periodic cost reductions that require the Company to continually assess, redefine and improve its operations, products, and manufacturing capabilities to maintain and improve profitability. Management continues to develop and execute initiatives to meet the challenges of the industry and to achieve its strategy for sustainable global profitable growth.
Effective September 1, 2012, the Company began operating with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain (or “PT”) segment focuses on original equipment products for automotive, heavy duty and industrial applications. The Vehicle Components Solutions (or “VCS”) segment sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, chassis, wipers and other vehicle components. The new organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and will enable the global Federal-Mogul teams to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with Federal-Mogul premium brands. The division of the global Federal-Mogul business into two operating segments is expected to enhance management focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic or acquisition growth, profit improvement, resource utilization and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in this filing.
The PT segment primarily represents the Company’s OE business. About 90% of PT’s revenue is to OEM customers, with the remaining 10% of its revenue being sold directly to VCS for eventual distribution, by VCS, to customers in the independent aftermarket. Discussions about the Company’s PT segment or its OE business should be seen as analogous. The performance of PT is therefore highly correlated to changes in regional OEM light and commercial vehicle production, together with the changes in the mix of technologies (such as between light vehicle gasoline and light vehicle diesel), and changes in demand for non-automotive and industrial applications. These drivers are enhanced by the rate at which the Company gains new programs, which is itself affected by the rate at which the OEM’s make improvements to emissions and fuel economy – some in response to regional regulations.
The VCS segment primarily represents the Company’s aftermarket business. About 75% of VCS’s revenue is to the customers in the independent aftermarket. The remaining 25% of the VCS business is to OEM or tier 1 suppliers to OEM, and the OES market, essentially, dealer supplied replacement parts – a feature more prevalent in Europe than in North America. The OES market is subject to the same general commercial patterns as the aftermarket business. The performance of VCS is therefore highly correlated to the factors that variously influence the different regional replacement parts markets around the world, such as vehicle miles driven, the average age of vehicles on the road, the size of the regional vehicle parcs and levels of consumer confidence. These drivers are enhanced by the relative strength of the aftermarket brands and the breadth of the portfolio offered relative to the changing needs of the local markets.

The 2% drop in sales is primarily related to reductions in European light vehicle production as well as reduced global commercial vehicle production. Although the U.S. passenger car market contracted slightly, this had only a minor impact on the Company’s sales given that the majority of its OEM sales are to customers outside the U.S. The European passenger car market is also continuing to see its demand shifting away from diesel towards gasoline vehicles. Over 70% of the Company’s European OEM business serves the light vehicle diesel and heavy duty markets, and given the generally greater technical complexity of these applications, the margins for these parts are generally higher than those serving light vehicle gasoline market. Therefore, not only are the Company’s sales significantly impacted by the changes in European demand, but its profits bore a disproportionate adverse impact due to those reductions occurring in some of the most profitable applications within those regions.
Consolidated sales decreased by $41 million, or 2%, to $1,699 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $1,740 million in the same period of 2012. Sales volumes decreased by $48 million, of which $40 million occurred in PT Europe. The rest was essentially driven by VCS due to the cessation of selected non-strategic business contracts, and lower export sales to Venezuela as a result of the country’s currency devaluation, partially offset by additional sales gained from a distribution agreement. This sales decline also reflects some level of impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening, primarily against the euro, which reduced reported sales by $8 million. These decreases were partially offset by $14 million of increased sales directly related to acquisitions.
Cost of products sold decreased by $15 million to $1,448 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $1,463 million in the same period of 2012. The reduction in materials, labor and overheads as a direct result of the reduction in sales volume was $22 million, due to adverse changes in regional and product mix. The Company noted materials and services sourcing savings of $12 million. The impact of the relative strength of the U.S. dollar decreased cost of products sold by $3 million. These decreases were partially offset by $11 million of cost increases directly related to an acquisition’s sales volumes, inter-segment sales volumes of $4 million, and increased depreciation of $3 million. Furthermore, the Company reported unfavorable productivity of $5 million which includes labor and benefits inflation.
Gross margin decreased by $26 million, including currency impacts of $5 million, to $251 million, or 14.8% of sales, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $277 million, or 15.9% of sales, in the same period of 2012. The drop in gross margin as a percent of sales mainly reflects the market driven drop in OEM volumes on the more profitable applications within the OE business. These elements are reflected as unfavorable external sales volumes / mix impact of $26 million. In addition, there were unabsorbed fixed costs on inter-segment sales of 4 million, increased depreciation of $3 million, and unfavorable productivity of $5 million which includes year-over-year labor and benefits inflation. These decreases were partially offset by a favorable impact on margin of $12 million from materials and services sourcing savings, $3 million of additional margin directly related to an acquisition, and $1 million of favorable customer pricing.

Powertrain
Sales decreased by $25 million, or 2%, to $1,062 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $1,087 million in the same period of 2012. The Powertrain segment generates approximately 70% of its revenue outside the United States and the resulting currency movements decreased reported sales by $5 million. External sales volumes decreased by $32 million, due to reductions in European vehicle production, reductions in demand for European non-automotive and industrial applications, and lower U.S. heavy duty production. Although the U.S. passenger car market contracted slightly, this had only a minor impact on PT’s sales given that the majority of its OEM sales are to customers outside the U.S. The European passenger car market is also undergoing a shift in demand away from diesel towards gasoline vehicles. These decreases were partially offset by $14 million of sales increases directly related to an acquisition.
Cost of products sold decreased by $1 million to $935 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $936 million in the same period of 2012. Noted decreases were due to materials and services sourcing savings of $6 million, and a reduction in materials, labor and overheads as a direct result of the reduction in volume of $14 million due to adverse changes in regional and product mix. These decreases were mostly offset by unfavorable productivity of $2 million which includes labor and benefits inflation, acquisition-related increased cost of product sold of $11 million, increased depreciation of $3 million, and unfavorable inter-segment sales volumes of $3 million.
Gross margin decreased by $24 million, including currency movements of $5 million, to $127 million, or 12.0% of sales, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $151 million, or 13.9% of sales, for the first quarter of 2012. The drop in gross margin mainly reflects the loss in OEM volume, at a variable margin level, on the more profitable applications. These elements are reflected as unfavorable external sales volumes / mix impact of $18 million and unfavorable productivity of $2 million, respectively, which includes year-over-year labor and benefits inflation. There were also decreases of $4 million of unabsorbed fixed costs on inter-segment sales, $3 million of increased depreciation, and $1 million of unfavorable customer pricing. These decreases were partially offset by a favorable impact on margin of $6 million from materials and services sourcing savings and $3 million of margins directly related to an acquisition.

Operational EBITDA decreased by $17 million to $90 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $107 million in the same period of 2012. This decrease was substantially due to the loss of volume, at a variable margin level, on the more profitable applications. These elements are reflected as unfavorable external sales volumes / mix impact of $18 million. All other profit and loss drivers essentially netted out to zero.
Vehicle Components Solutions
Sales decreased by $17 million, or 2%, to 737 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $754 million in the same period of 2012. The external sales volumes decrease of $16 million was driven by the cessation of selected non-strategic business contracts, and lower export sales to Venezuela as a result of the country’s currency devaluation, partially offset by additional sales gained from a distribution agreement. There was favorable customer pricing of $2 million, which includes the non-recurrence of prior year customer incentives. Currency movements impacted sales negatively by $3 million.
Cost of products sold decreased by $14 million to $613 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $627 million in the same period of 2012. This decrease was due to $8 million directly associated with external sales volume and changes in product mix, materials and services sourcing savings of $6 million, and currency movements of $3 million. These decreases were partially offset unfavorable productivity, net of inflation of $3 million.
Gross margin decreased by $3 million to $124 million, or 16.8% of sales, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $127 million, also 16.8% of sales, in the same period of 2012. This is the result of a net unfavorable external sales volume/mix impact of $8 million and unfavorable productivity, net of inflation of $3 million. These decreases in gross margin were partially offset by improved materials and services sourcing of $6 million, as well as favorable customer pricing of $2 million, which includes the non-recurrence of prior year customer incentives.
Operational EBITDA decreased by $7 million to $51 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $58 million in the same period of 2012. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable sales volume/mix changes of $12 million, partially offset by decreases in the cost of materials and services sourcing of $7 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $185 million, or 10.9% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $188 million, or 10.8% of net sales, for the same quarter of 2012.
The Company maintains technical centers throughout the world designed to integrate the Company’s leading technologies into advanced products and processes, to provide engineering support for all of the Company’s manufacturing sites, and to provide technological expertise in engineering and design development providing solutions for customers and bringing new, innovative products to market. Included in SG&A were research and development (“R&D”) costs, including product and validation costs, of $46 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared with $44 million for the same period in 2012.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $29 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $33 for the first quarter of 2012.

Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net was $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $(2) million for the same period of 2012.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $11 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $32 million. This compares to income tax expense of $9 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $46 million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. Statutory rate, income in jurisdictions with no tax expense due to offsetting valuation allowance release, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 differs from U.S. statutory rate due primarily to pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, income in jurisdictions with no tax expense due to offsetting valuation allowance releases, release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlement, and a tax benefit recorded related to a special economic zone tax incentive in Poland, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits.
Litigation and Environmental Contingencies
For a summary of material litigation and environmental contingencies, refer to Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
Cash flow used by operating activities was $(50) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to cash flow provided from operating activities of $5 million for the comparable period of 2012. The $55 million year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to a $24 million decrease in Operational EBITDA and a $29 million increase in working capital outflow. The increase in working capital outflow includes $23 million of additional working capital to support a new global aftermarket distribution agreement.
Cash flow used by investing activities was $136 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $117 million for the comparable period of 2012. Capital expenditures of $93 million and $130 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were required to support future sales growth and productivity improvements. Furthermore, there were $40 million of net payments during the first quarter of 2013 related to business dispositions.
37
Cash flow provided from financing activities was $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to cash flow used by financing activities of $(10) million for the comparable period of 2012. This $11 million increase in cash inflow was primarily due to a $12 million flow change associated with short-term debt borrowings.
Financing Activities
On December 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Debt Facilities”) with Citicorp U.S.A. Inc. as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Syndication Agent and certain lenders. The Debt Facilities include a $540 million revolving credit facility (which is subject to a borrowing base and can be increased under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions) and a $2,960 million term loan credit facility divided into a $1,960 million tranche B loan and a $1,000 million tranche C loan. The obligations under the revolving credit facility mature December 27, 2013 and bear interest for the first six months at LIBOR plus 1.75% or at the alternate base rate (“ABR,” defined as the greater of Citibank, N.A.’s announced prime rate or 0.50% over the Federal Funds Rate) plus 0.75%, and thereafter shall be adjusted in accordance with a pricing grid based on availability under the revolving credit facility. Interest rates on the pricing grid range from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 2.00% and ABR plus 0.50% to ABR plus 1.00%. The tranche B term loans mature December 27, 2014 and the tranche C term loans mature December 27, 2015. All Debt Facilities term loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.9375% or at the alternate base rate (as previously defined) plus 0.9375% at the Company’s election. To the extent that interest rates change by 25 basis points, the Company’s annual interest expense would show a corresponding change of approximately $7 million and $2 million for years 2014 and 2015, respectively, the term of the Company’s Debt Facilities.
The Company has explored in the past and continues to explore alternatives for refinancing all or a portion of the Debt Facilities. The Company may determine to seek to raise additional equity in order to reduce its total debt, increase equity and/or facilitate debt refinancing transactions.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Other Liquidity and Capital Resource Items
Federal-Mogul subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Amounts factored under these facilities consist of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31 2013 | | | December 31 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | |
Gross accounts receivable factored | | $ | 248 | | | $ | 217 | |
Gross accounts receivable factored, qualifying as sales | | | 244 | | | | 216 | |
Undrawn cash on factored accounts receivable | | | — | | | | — | |
Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and expenses associated with the factoring of receivables are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31 | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | |
Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales | | $ | 333 | | | $ | 414 | |
Expenses associated with factoring of receivables | | | 1 | | | | 2 | |
Certain of the facilities contain terms that require the Company to share in the credit risk of the factored receivables. The maximum exposures to the Company associated with these certain facilities’ terms were $29 million and $19 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair values of the exposures to the Company associated with these certain facilities’ terms were determined to be immaterial.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to the information concerning the Company’s exposures to market risk as stated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Refer to Note 5, “Financial Instruments,” to the consolidated financial statements for information with respect to interest rate risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency risk.
The translated values of revenue and expense from the Company’s international operations are subject to fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company derived 38% of its sales in the United States and 62% internationally. Of these international sales, 57% are denominated in the euro, with no other single currency representing more than 8%. To minimize foreign currency risk, the Company generally maintains natural hedges within its non-U.S. activities, including the matching of operational revenues and costs. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company manages certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement of all foreign currencies in the same direction against the U.S. dollar over the three months ended March 31, 2013 would have decreased “Net income from continuing operations attributable to Federal-Mogul” by approximately $3 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of March 31, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013, at the reasonable assurance level previously described.
Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated for disclosure, changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during first quarter of 2013.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Note 14, that is included in Part I of this report, is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as noted below, there were no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on February 27, 2013.
The Company carries significant goodwill on its balance sheet, which is subject to impairment testing and could subject the Company to significant non-cash charges to earnings if impairment occurs: As of March 31, 2013, the Company had goodwill of $794 million, which represented approximately 12% of its total assets. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Factors that could indicate that the Company’s goodwill is impaired include, but are not limited to, whether the Company’s fair value, as measured by its market capitalization, has remained below its net book value for a significant period of time, lower than projected operating results and cash flows, and significant industry deterioration in key geographic regions. If impairment is determined to exist, it may result in a significant non-cash charge to earnings.
