FEDERAL-MOGUL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 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 filed on February 27, 2013, portions of which were updated to reflect discontinued operations and filed as Exhibit 99.1 accompanying the Company’s Form 8-K filed on July 22, 2013. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 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: As of June 30, 2013, 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.
7
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.
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.
Acquisition:In June 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the BERU spark plug business from BorgWarner, Inc. These spark plugs are manufactured in France and Germany and are sold to European original equipment manufacturers. The purchase was finalized at the end of September 2012 for $52 million, net of acquired cash. The Company has allocated the purchase price in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codifications (“ASC”) Topic 805,Business Combinations. The Company utilized a third party to assist in the fair value determination of certain components of the purchase price allocation, namely fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company recorded $19 million of definite-lived intangible assets (primarily customer relationships) and $8 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily goodwill) associated with this acquisition.
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 six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company divested its sintered components operations located in France, its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada and its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom. These divestitures have 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:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30 2013 | | | December 31 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | |
Gross accounts receivable factored | | $ | 284 | | | $ | 217 | |
Gross accounts receivable factored, qualifying as sales | | | 260 | | | | 216 | |
Undrawn cash on factored accounts receivable | | | 1 | | | | — | |

Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and expenses associated with the factoring of receivables are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30 | | | Six Months Ended June 30 | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | | | |
Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales | | $ | 364 | | | $ | 363 | | | $ | 697 | | | $ | 776 | |
Expenses associated with factoring of receivables | | | 2 | | | | 2 | | | | 3 | | | | 3 | |
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 $18 million and $19 million as of June 30, 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 FASB 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:
| | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
Equity balance of non-controlling interests as of December 31, 2012 | | $ | 107 | |

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 and in January 2013, issued ASU No. 2013-01,Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.Both ASUs amend ASC Topic 210 (Balance Sheet) and require enhanced disclosures that will enable users of financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. 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 manufacturing locations.
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. Termination benefits are also accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 420,Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (“FASB ASC 420”), for one-time termination benefits and are recorded dependent upon future service requirements. Facility closure and other costs are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 420, 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.

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 March 2013, the Company’s Powertrain Segment completed the divestiture of its sintered components operations located in France. This disposal resulted in a $47 million net loss (no income tax impact), which is included in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax” during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
During June 2013, the Company’s Powertrain Segment completed the divestiture of its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada and its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom. This disposal resulted in a $5 million net loss (no income tax impact), which is included in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax” during the three and six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, unrealized net losses of $1 million and $10 million, respectively, were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as a result of these hedges. As of June 30, 2013, losses of $1 million are expected to be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to the consolidated statement of operations within the next 6 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.
14
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.
Information regarding the Company’s outstanding commodity price hedge contracts is as follows:

Unrealized net (losses) gains recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” | | | (6 | ) | | | 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:

| | June 30 | | | December 31 | |

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 loss of $(4) million and $(3) million in “Other income (expense), net” related to these contracts for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
15
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.
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 six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company has one VCS customer that accounts for approximately 17% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 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. |
18
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). |
Assets and liabilities remeasured and disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are set forth in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Asset (Liability) | | | Level 2 | | | Valuation Technique |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | | | |

Commodity contracts | | | (6 | ) | | | (6 | ) | | C |

Commodity contracts | | | 1 | | | | 1 | | | C |
Foreign currency contracts | | | (10 | ) | | | (10 | ) | | C |
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.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are set forth in the table below:

Property, plant and equipment with carrying values of $4 million were written down to their fair value of $2 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $2 million, which was recorded within “Adjustment of assets to fair value” for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Property, plant and equipment with carrying values of $36 million were written down to their fair value of $20 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $16 million, which was recorded within “Adjustment of assets to fair value” for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company determined the fair value of these assets by applying probability weighted, expected present value techniques to the estimated future cash flows using assumptions a market participant would utilize and through the use of valuation specialists.
Trademarks and brand names with carrying values of $58 million were written down to their fair value of $45 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $13 million, which was recorded within “Adjustment of assets to fair value” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. These fair values are based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets.
Goodwill at one of the Company’s reporting units with a carrying value of $91 million was written down to its fair value of zero, resulting in a $91 million impairment charge for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. This goodwill impairment charge was recorded within “Adjustment of assets to fair value.” The estimated fair value was determined based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved, guideline transaction multiples, and multiples of current and future earnings. In addition to this $91 million goodwill impairment charge, the Company finalized its 2011 goodwill impairment analysis during the first quarter of 2012 and recognized an additional $1 million in goodwill impairment.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost was determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method at June 30, 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 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30 | | | Six Months Ended June 30 | |

| | | | | | | | |
Total long-term debt | | $ | 2,732 | | | $ | 2,733 | |
| | | | | | | | |
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.
24
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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
The revolving credit facility has an available borrowing base of $492 million and $451 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company had $40 million and $37 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, 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 June 30, 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.

During the second quarter of 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 triggered the recognition of a $19 million OPEB curtailment gain, which was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $(24) million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $109 million. This compares to an income tax benefit of $20 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $(37) million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 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 releases, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 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 releases, release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlements, valuation allowance release in Germany, a tax benefit recorded in continuing operations pursuant to an exception to the intraperiod tax allocation rules and a tax benefit recorded related to a special economic zone tax incentive in Poland, partially offset by a goodwill impairment with no tax benefit and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that certain of its unrecognized tax benefits relating to transfer pricing may decrease by approximately $20 million in the next 12 months due to an audit settlement, with no impact on the effective tax rate due to a valuation allowance release.
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:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30 | | | 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 June 30, 2013, management estimates that reasonably possible material additional losses above and beyond management’s best estimate of required remediation costs as recorded approximate $44 million.
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:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30 | | | December 31 | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars) | |
| | |
Other current liabilities | | $ | 4 | | | $ | 3 | |
Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent) | | | 25 | | | | 26 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 29 | | | $ | 29 | |
| | | | | | | | |
27
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.

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 recognized SARs expense of $1 million and less than $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized SARs income of $4 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
The June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 SARs fair values were estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2013 | | | December 31, 2012 | |
| | 2012 SARs | | | 2011 SARs | | | 2010 SARs | | | 2012 SARs | | | 2011 SARs | | | 2010 SARs | |

Risk-free rate over the expected life | | | 0.39 | % | | | 0.22 | % | | | 0.13 | % | | | 0.30 | % | | | 0.23 | % | | | 0.17 | % |
Expected life (in years) | | | 2.1 | | | | 1.4 | | | | 0.8 | | | | 2.5 | | | | 1.7 | | | | 1.1 | |
Fair value (in millions) | | $ | 1.0 | | | $ | 0.5 | | | $ | 0.1 | | | $ | 0.8 | | | $ | 0.4 | | | $ | 0.1 | |
Fair value of vested portion (in millions) | | $ | 0.5 | | | $ | 0.4 | | | $ | 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 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. | INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE |
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share attributable to Federal-Mogul:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30 | | | Six Months Ended June 30 | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | (Millions of Dollars, Except per Share Amounts) | |
Amounts attributable to Federal-Mogul: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) from continuing operations | | $ | 62 | | | $ | (56 | ) | | $ | 81 | | | $ | (21 | ) |
Loss from discontinued operations | | | (6 | ) | | | (3 | ) | | | (59 | ) | | | (5 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) | | $ | 56 | | | $ | (59 | ) | | $ | 22 | | | $ | (26 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic (in millions) | | | 98.9 | | | | 98.9 | | | | 98.9 | | | | 98.9 | |
| | | | |
Incremental shares on assumed conversion of deferred compensation stock (in millions) | | | — | | | | 0.5 | | | | — | | | | 0.5 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted (in millions) | | | 98.9 | | | | 99.4 | | | | 98.9 | | | | 99.4 | |
| | | | |
Net income (loss) per common share attributable to Federal-Mogul – basic and diluted: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net (loss) income from continuing operations | | $ | 0.63 | | | $ | (0.57 | ) | | $ | 0.82 | | | $ | (0.21 | ) |
Loss from discontinued operations | | | (0.06 | ) | | | (0.03 | ) | | | (0.60 | ) | | | (0.05 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net (loss) income | | $ | 0.57 | | | $ | (0.60 | ) | | $ | 0.22 | | | $ | (0.26 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Company recognized a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for these periods as any potentially dilutive securities would reduce the loss per 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2012 because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during this period.
As a result of the Company’s common stock registered rights offering (“rights offering”) announced in May 2013, the Company’s total shares outstanding were increased to 150,029,244 as of July 10, 2013. See Note 20 for additional information.
In July 2013, the Company announced its intent to move production from its Orangeburg, SC manufacturing facility to existing facilities in Mexico and the United States. The transition is expected to be completed within two years. This activity is covered under the Restructuring 2013 program. See Note 2 for further details regarding the Restructuring 2013 program.
On July 11, 2013, the Company filed on Form 8-K the announcement of the completion of its common stock rights offering. The subscription period for the rights offering expired on July 9, 2013 with approximately 51 million shares of the Company’s common stock purchased in the rights offering for a total subscription price and realized proceeds of approximately $500 million.
31
The purchases of shares of common stock in the rights offering increased the indirect control of Mr. Carl C. Icahn to approximately 80.73% of the voting power. As a result of the increased indirect control, the Company became part of an affiliated group of corporations as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
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. 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 six months ended June 30, 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 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.

Consolidated sales increased by $97 million or 6%, to $1,772 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $1,675 million in the same period of 2012. The impact of foreign currency increased sales by $8 million, and the constant dollar sales increase was $89 million. Excluding sales directly related to the BERU spark plug acquisition of $16 million and sales from the European distribution agreement for ignition products of $27 million, sales organically increased by $46 million, which is net of $5 million from customer price decreases.
This $46 million of organic sales growth is primarily due to an increase in external sales volumes in the PT segment of $43 million, or 5% of PT’s external sales. When taking into account the regional and market mix of PT’s sales, the combination of declines in European light vehicle and commercial vehicle production of 3% and 8%, respectively, declines in North American commercial vehicle production of 9%, and increases in light vehicle production in North America and Asia of 5% each, the market for PT’s products grew by 1%. PT segment sales therefore grew in excess of underlying market demand.
Cost of products sold increased by $74 million to $1,492 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $1,418 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overhead as a direct result of the increase in sales volumes was $68 million and $12 million as a result of the BERU spark plug acquisition. Savings in material costs of $23 million were offset by currency impacts of $9 million, inefficiencies of $4 million, and unabsorbed costs on inter-segment supply of $3 million.
Gross margin increased by $23 million to $280 million, or 15.8% of sales, for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $257 million, or 15.3% of sales, in the same period of 2012. Despite volume increases, the Company is still subject to product mix issues given that commercial vehicle production declined to a greater extent than light vehicle production in major regions, thereby shifting the mix of products away from more technically complex, higher value added parts. The diesel proportion of the European light vehicle market also remains below historic levels. Therefore the favorable impact on margins due to the volume increase alone was $10 million. The favorable impact on margins from materials and services sourcing savings was $23 million, partially offset by $5 million of unfavorable customer pricing and $4 million of unfavorable productivity. The BERU spark plug acquisition provided $4 million of gross margin, offset by $3 million of unabsorbed costs on inter-segment transfers.

Powertrain
Sales increased by $68 million, or 7%, to $1,092 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $1,024 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 increased reported sales by $7 million. The BERU spark plug acquisition also increased sales by $16 million. External sales volumes increased by $43 million, or 5% of PT sales. When taking into account the regional and market mix of PT’s sales, the combination of declines in European light vehicle and commercial vehicle production of 3% and 8%, respectively, declines in North American commercial vehicle production of 9%, and increases in light vehicle production in North America and Asia of 5% each, the market for PT’s products grew by 1%. PT segment sales therefore grew in excess of underlying market demand.
Cost of products sold increased by $63 million to $947 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $884 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overhead as a direct result of the increase in sales volumes and inter-segment supply was $48 million, with $12 million of cost increases as a result of the BERU spark plug acquisition. Savings in material costs of $16 million were offset by currency impacts of $9 million, and inefficiencies of $8 million.
Gross margin increased by $5 million to $145 million, or 13.3% of sales, for the second quarter of 2013 from $140 million, or 13.7% of sales, in the same period of 2012. Despite volume increases, the Powertrain segment is still subject to product mix issues given that commercial vehicle production declined to a greater extent than light vehicle production in major regions, thereby shifting the mix of products away from more technically complex, higher value added parts. The diesel proportion of the European light vehicle market also remains below historic levels. Therefore the favorable impact on margins due to the $43 million increase in external sales volumes was $2 million, offset by $3 million of unabsorbed costs on inter segment supply. The favorable impact on margins from materials and services sourcing savings was $16 million, partially offset by $2 million of unfavorable customer pricing and $8 million of unfavorable productivity. The BERU spark plug acquisition provided $4 million of gross margin, offset by $2 million of increased depreciation and $2 million of adverse currency impacts.
39
Operational EBITDA increased by $4 million to $106 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $102 million in the same period of 2012. The increase includes $16 million of materials sourcing savings and $4 million directly related to the BERU spark plug acquisition. These increases were offset by unfavorable productivity of $11 million including labor inflation, increased year-over-year incentive compensation and project costs, unabsorbed fixed costs on inter-segment supply of $3 million and unfavorable customer pricing of $2 million.
Vehicle Components Solutions
Sales increased by $34 million, or 5%, to $783 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $749 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in external sales volumes of $35 million is mainly the result of the additional sales of $27 million from the European distribution agreement for ignition products established in the first quarter of 2013. The remainder of the volume increase of $8 million comprises an increase of $22 million, or 8% in Europe, partially offset by a decline in sales in North America of $6 million, or 1% and in ROW of $8 million, or 15%. However, the decrease in North American VCS segment sales relates to the managed exit from some specific unprofitable OEM parts, with aftermarket sales remaining flat year over year.
Cost of products sold increased by $18 million to $648 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $630 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overhead as a direct result of the increase in sales volumes and inter segment supply was $28 million partially offset by efficiencies of $4 million and materials and services sourcing savings of $7 million.
Gross margin increased by $16 million to $135 million, or 17.2% of sales, for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $119 million or 15.9% of sales, in the same period of 2012. The favorable impact of increased sales volumes, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable mix, increased gross margin by $8 million. Savings in materials and sourced products increased gross margin by $7 million.
Operational EBITDA increased by $2 million to $57 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $55 million in the same period of 2012. Savings in materials and sourced products of $8 million and the impact of increased volumes of $3 million were partially offset by unfavorable productivity of $8 million including labor inflation, increased year-over-year incentive compensation and project costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $185 million, or 10.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to $173 million, or 10.3% 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 $43 million in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Adjustment of Assets to Fair Value
The Company recognized PPE impairments of $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Company recognized impairments of $119 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The impairment charge was comprised of $91 million of goodwill impairments, $15 million of PP&E impairments and $13 million of trademark and brand name impairments.
40
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $24 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $32 million for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the expiration of unfavorable interest rate swaps.
Restructuring Activities
The following is a summary of the Company’s consolidated restructuring liabilities and related activity as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2013:

Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net was $(1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $(8) million for the same period of 2012.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $(13) million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $77 million. This compares to an income tax benefit of $29 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $(83) million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 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 releases, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits. The income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to a goodwill impairment with no tax benefit and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit, partially offset by 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 settlements, valuation allowance release in Germany, a tax benefit recorded in continuing operations pursuant to an exception to the intraperiod tax allocation rules and a tax benefit recorded related to a special economic zone tax incentive in Poland.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that certain of its unrecognized tax benefits relating to transfer pricing may decrease by approximately $20 million in the next 12 months due to an audit settlement, with no impact on the effective tax rate due to a valuation allowance release.

Consolidated sales increased by $53 million or 2%, to $3,459 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $3,406 million in the same period of 2013 with minimal adverse foreign currency impact of $1 million. Excluding sales directly related to the BERU spark plug acquisition of $30 million and sales from the European distribution agreement for ignition products of $55 million, sales decreased by $32 million including $4 million from customer price decreases. The organic sales volume change was therefore $27 million. PT sales volumes increased by $9 million compared to last year, and VCS sales volumes fell by $36 million.
Given PT’s relative presence in the light vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial markets and the relative year over year changes in production rates for those markets, the expected change in PT sales would be a decline of 3%, whereas PT sales were virtually flat – reflecting better performance than the underlying market.
In the VCS segment, sales decreased by $40 million, mainly attributable to the decrease in sales in North America of 4%. This reflects the cessation of selected non-strategic business contracts as well as a softening in the export business, mainly due to a decline in shipments into Venezuela as a result of the currency devaluation. However, sales in VCS Europe increased by 4% due to improving market conditions.
Cost of products sold increased by $55 million to $2,928 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2,873 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overheads as a direct result of the increase in external sales volumes and inter segment supply was $52 million along with an increase of $23 million directly related to the BERU spark plug acquisition. Materials and sourcing savings of $35 million were partly offset by inefficiencies of $7 million and adverse currency movements of $5 million.
Gross margin decreased by $2 million to $531 million, or 15.4% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $533 million, or 15.6% of sales, in the same period of 2012. Despite volume increases, the company is still subject to product mix issues given that commercial vehicle production declined to a greater extent than light vehicle production in major regions, thereby shifting the mix of products away from more technically complex, higher value added parts. The diesel proportion of the European light vehicle market also remains below historic levels. Therefore the impact on margins due to the volume increase alone was a reduction of $24 million, including $6 million of unabsorbed costs on inter-segment supply. The favorable impact on margins from materials and services sourcing savings of $35 million, the impact of the BERU spark plug acquisition of $7 million and reduced pension expense of $3 million were partially offset by $7 million of unfavorable productivity, $6 million of increased depreciation, $6 million of adverse currency movements and $4 million of unfavorable customer pricing.

Sales increased by $42 million, or 2%, to $2,142 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $2,100 million in the same period of 2012 of which $30 million resulted from the acquisition of the BERU spark plug business. External sales volumes increased by $9 million. Given PT’s relative presence in the light vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial markets and the relative year over year changes in production rates for those markets, the expected change in PT sales would be a decline of 3%, whereas PT sales were virtually flat – reflecting better performance than the underlying market
Cost of products sold increased by $60 million to $1,870 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,810 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overheads as a direct result of the increase in external sales volumes and inter segment supply was $35 million along with an increase of $23 million directly related to the BERU spark plug acquisition. Materials and sourcing savings of $21 million were partly offset by inefficiencies of $9 million, adverse currency movements of $9 million, and increased depreciation of $5 million.
Gross margin decreased by $18 million to $272 million, or 12.7% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $290 million, or 13.8% of sales, in the same period of 2012. Despite volume increases, the Company is still subject to product mix issues given that commercial vehicle production declined to a greater extent than light vehicle production in major regions, thereby shifting the mix of products away from more technically complex, higher value added parts. The diesel proportion of the European light vehicle market also remains below historic levels. Therefore the impact on margins due to the volume increase alone was a reduction of $23 million, including $6 million of unabsorbed costs on inter-segment supply. The favorable impact on margins from materials and services sourcing savings of $21 million, the impact of the BERU spark plug acquisition of $7 million were partially offset by $9 million of unfavorable productivity, $5 million of increased depreciation, $7 million of adverse currency movements and $2 million of unfavorable customer pricing.
Operational EBITDA decreased by $13 million to $195 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $208 million in the same period of 2012. This decrease was due to adverse mix impacts in excess of favorable volume changes of $24 million, unfavorable productivity of $12 million including labor inflation, increased year-over-year incentive compensation and project costs, and unfavorable customer pricing of $2 million, partially offset by favorable materials and services sourcing of $21 million and $6 million directly related to the BERU spark plug acquisition.

Vehicle Components Solutions
Sales increased by $15 million, or 1%, to $1,520 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $1,505 million in the same period of 2012, including $55 million from the European distribution agreement for ignition products and adverse currency movements of $3 million. The organic sales change was therefore a decline of $37 million, with a $39 million, or 4% decline in North America, a $12 million, or 2% increase in Europe and a $10 million, or 13% decline in ROW. These movements reflect the cessation of selected non-strategic business contracts as well as a softening in the export business, mainly due to a decline in shipments into Venezuela as a result of the currency devaluation.
Cost of products sold increased by $2 million to $1,261 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,259 million in the same period of 2012. This increase was due to $20 million directly associated with external sales volumes being mostly offset by favorable materials and services sourcing savings of $14 million and efficiencies of $2 million.
Gross margin increased by $13 million to $259 million, or 17.0% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $246 million or 16.3% of sales, in the same period of 2012. This is the result of materials and services sourcing savings of $14 million and favorable productivity of $2 million partially offset by unfavorable customer pricing of $2 million.
Operational EBITDA decreased by $4 million to $109 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $113 million in the same period of 2012. This is primarily due to an $8 million decrease associated with the adverse impact of product mix changes over and above the improvements from increased sales. Favorable materials and services sourcing of $16 million were totally offset by unfavorable productivity of $16 million including labor inflation, increased year-over-year incentive compensation and project costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $370 million, or 10.7% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $361 million, also 10.6% of net sales, for the period 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 $89 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $87 million for the same period in 2012.
Adjustment of Assets to Fair Value
The Company recognized PPE impairments of $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company recognized impairments of $121 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The impairment charge was comprised of $92 million of goodwill impairments, $16 million of PP&E impairments and $13 million of trademark and brand name impairments.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $53 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $64 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease is primarily due to the expiration of unfavorable interest rate swaps.

Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net was $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $(8) million for the same period of 2012.
Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $(24) million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $109 million. This compares to an income tax benefit of $20 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $(37) million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 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 benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 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 releases, release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlements, valuation allowance release in Germany, a tax benefit recorded in continuing operations pursuant to an exception to the intraperiod tax allocation rules and a tax benefit recorded related to a special economic zone tax incentive in Poland, partially offset by a goodwill impairment with no tax benefit and pre-tax losses with no tax benefit.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that certain of its unrecognized tax benefits relating to transfer pricing may decrease by approximately $20 million in the next 12 months due to an audit settlement, with no impact on the effective tax rate due to a valuation allowance release.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
Cash flow provided from operating activities was $116 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to cash flow used by operating activities of $(7) million for the comparable period of 2012. The $123 million year-over-year increase is primarily attributable an $118 million decrease in working capital outflow.
Cash flow used by investing activities was $215 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $204 million for the comparable period of 2012. Capital expenditures of $186 million and $223 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were required to support future sales growth and productivity improvements. Furthermore, there were $25 million of net payments during the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to business dispositions.
Cash flow provided from financing activities was $26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to cash flow used by financing activities of $(27) million for the comparable period of 2012. This $53 million increase in cash inflow was primarily due to a $51 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.
On July 11, 2013, the Company filed on Form 8-K the announcement of the completion of its common stock rights offering. The subscription period for the rights offering expired on July 9, 2013 with approximately 51 million shares of the Company’s common stock purchased in the rights offering for a total subscription price of approximately $500 million.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2013 would have decreased “Net income from continuing operations attributable to Federal-Mogul” by approximately $9 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 three and six months ended June 30, 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 the six months ended June 30, 2013.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Note 14, that is included in Part I of this report, is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company has substantial indebtedness, which could restrict the Company’s business activities and could subject the Company to significant interest rate risk:As of June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $2.9 billion of outstanding indebtedness under its existing credit facility. The Company is permitted by the terms of its debt instruments to incur substantial additional indebtedness, subject to the restrictions therein. The Company’s inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy its debt obligations, or to refinance its debt obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s indebtedness could:
| • | | limit the Company’s ability to borrow money for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other corporate purposes; |
| • | | require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow to payments on indebtedness, which would reduce the amount of cash flow available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development and other corporate requirements; |
| • | | increase the Company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and |
| • | | limit the Company’s ability to respond to business opportunities. |
A significant portion of the Company’s indebtedness accrues interest at variable rates. To the extent market interest rates rise, the cost of the Company’s debt would increase, adversely affecting the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The Company’s operational restructuring activities may not result in the anticipated synergies and cost savings: It is possible that the achievement of expected synergies and cost savings associated with restructuring activities will require additional costs or charges to earnings in future periods. It is also possible that the expected synergies may not be achieved. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized net restructuring expenses of $8 million. The Company has announced operational restructuring actions as part of Restructuring 2012 and Restructuring 2013. In addition, although no determination has been made with respect to any additional future operational restructure opportunities, the Company continues to evaluate other potential operational restructuring opportunities and may determine to undertake additional operational restructuring actions in the future. At this time, however, no determination has been made with respect to any potential additional operational restructuring opportunities. The Company expects to finance its operational restructuring programs through cash generated from ongoing operations or through cash available under our credit facility, subject to the terms of applicable covenants. Any costs or charges relating to restructuring activities could adversely impact the business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
Adverse conditions in the automotive market adversely affect demand for the Company’s products and expose the Company to credit risks of its customers:The revenues of the Company’s operations are closely tied to global OE automobile and commercial vehicle sales,
51
production levels, and independent aftermarket parts replacement activity. The OE market is characterized by short-term volatility, with overall expected long-term growth in global vehicle sales and production. Automotive and commercial vehicle production in the local markets served by the Company can be affected by macro-economic factors such as interest rates, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment trends, regulatory and legislative oversight requirements and trade agreements. Automakers across Europe are experiencing difficulties from a weakened economy and tightening credit markets. OEM vehicle production in Europe decreased by 7% from 2011 to 2012. As a result, the Company has experienced and may continue to experience reductions in orders from these OEM customers. A prolonged downturn in the European automotive industry or a significant change in product mix due to consumer demand could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s business. A variation in the level of automobile production would affect not only sales to OE customers but, depending on the reasons for the change, could impact demand from aftermarket customers. The Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if the Company fails to respond in a timely and appropriate manner to changes in the demand for its products.
Accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company has granted terms extensions to certain customers in the North American aftermarket, which have resulted in significant receivables balances with some of these customers. The Company’s customer base includes virtually every significant global automotive manufacturer, numerous Tier 1 automotive suppliers, and a large number of distributors and installers of automotive aftermarket parts.
A drop in the market share and changes in product mix offered by the Company’s customers can impact the Company’s revenues:The Company is dependent on the continued growth, viability and financial stability of the Company’s customers. The Company’s customers generally are OEMs in the automotive industry. This industry is subject to rapid technological change, vigorous competition, short product life cycles and cyclical and reduced consumer demand patterns. When the Company’s customers are adversely affected by these factors, the Company may be similarly affected to the extent that the Company’s customers reduce the volume of orders for its products. As a result of changes impacting the Company’s customers, including shifts in regional growth, shifts in OEM sales demand, and shifts in consumer demand related to vehicle segment purchases and content penetration, sales mix can shift, which may have either favorable or unfavorable impact on revenue. For instance, a shift in sales demand favoring a particular OEM’s vehicle model for which the Company does not have a supply contract may negatively impact its revenue. A shift in regional sales demand toward certain markets could favorably impact the sales of those of the Company’s customers that have a large market share in those regions, which in turn would be expected to have a favorable impact on the Company’s revenue. In 2012, sales in Europe shifted away from diesel-powered vehicles, which adversely affected the Company.
The mix of vehicle offerings by the Company’s OEM customers also impacts its sales. A decrease in consumer demand for specific types of vehicles where the Company has traditionally provided significant content could have a significant effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. The Company’s sales of products in the regions in which its customers operate is also dependent upon the success of those customers in those regions.
Escalating price pressures from customers may adversely affect the Company’s business:Downward pricing pressures by automotive manufacturers is a characteristic of the automotive industry. Virtually all automakers have implemented aggressive price reduction initiatives and objectives with their suppliers, and such actions are expected to continue in the future. In addition, accurately estimating the impact of such pressures is difficult because any price reductions are a result of negotiations and other factors. Accordingly, suppliers must be able to reduce their operating costs in order to maintain profitability. If the Company is unable to offset customer price reductions in the future through improved operating efficiencies, new manufacturing processes, sourcing alternatives and other cost reduction initiatives, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition will likely be adversely affected.
52
Employee strikes and labor-related disruptions involving the Company or one or more of the Company’s customers or suppliers may adversely affect its operations:The Company’s business is labor-intensive and many of its employees are represented by unions or work councils. A strike or other form of significant work disruption by the Company’s employees would likely have an adverse effect on its ability to operate its business. A labor dispute involving the Company or one or more of its customers or suppliers or that could otherwise affect its operations could reduce its sales and harm its profitability. A labor dispute involving another supplier to the Company’s customers that results in a slowdown or a closure of those customers’ assembly plants where the Company’s products are included in the assembled parts or vehicles could also adversely affect the Company’s business and harm its profitability. In addition, the Company’s inability or the inability of any of its customers, its suppliers or its customers’ suppliers to negotiate an extension of a collective bargaining agreement upon its expiration could reduce the Company’s sales and harm its profitability. Significant increases in labor costs as a result of the renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements could also adversely affect the Company’s business and harm its profitability.
The price of the Company’s common stock is subject to volatility: Various factors could cause the market price of the Company’s common stock to fluctuate substantially including general financial market changes, changes in governmental regulation, significant automotive industry announcements or developments, the introduction of new products or technologies by the Company or its competitors, and changes in other conditions or trends in the automotive industry. Other factors that could cause the Company’s stock price to fluctuate could be actual or anticipated variations in the Company’s or its competitors’ quarterly or annual financial results, financial results failing to meet expectations of analysts or investors, changes in securities analysts’ estimates of the Company’s future performance or of that of the Company’s competitors and the general health of the automotive industry.
The Company’s stock price may decline due to sales of shares by Mr. Carl C. Icahn:Sales of substantial amounts of the Company’s common stock by Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, or the perception that these sales may occur, may adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock and impede its ability to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities in the future. Mr. Icahn is contractually entitled, subject to certain exceptions, to exercise rights under a registration rights agreement to cause the Company to register his shares under the Securities Act. By exercising his registration rights and selling a large number of shares, Mr. Icahn could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline. No other shareholder has registration rights.
A disruption to information technology systems could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial performance:The Company relies on the accuracy, capacity and security of its information technology systems, as well as information technology systems provided by third parties. Despite the security and risk-prevention measures the Company has implemented, these systems could fail, or could be breached, damaged or otherwise interrupted by computer viruses, unauthorized physical or electronic access or other natural or man-made incidents or disasters. Such a failure, breach or interruption could result in business disruption, theft of intellectual property or trade secrets and unauthorized access to personnel information. To the extent that the Company’s business is interrupted or data is lost, destroyed or inappropriately used or disclosed, such disruptions could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Warranty claims, product liability claims and product recalls could harm the Company’s business, results of operations and financial conditions:The Company faces the inherent business risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that its products fail to perform as expected or such failure results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury or property
53
damage (or both). In addition, if any of the Company’s designed products are defective or are alleged to be defective, the Company may be required to participate in a recall campaign. As suppliers become more integrally involved in the vehicle design process and assume more of the vehicle assembly functions, automakers are increasingly expecting them to warrant their products and are increasingly looking to suppliers for contributions when faced with product liability claims or recalls. A successful warranty or product liability claim against the Company in excess of its available insurance coverage and established reserves, or a requirement that the Company participate in a product recall campaign, could adversely effect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
If the Company loses any of its executive officers or key employees, the Company’s operations and ability to manage the day-to-day aspects of its business may be materially adversely affected:The Company’s future performance substantially depends on its ability to retain and motivate executive officers and key employees, both individually and as a group. If the Company loses any of its executive officers or key employees, which have many years of experience with the Company and within the automotive industry and other manufacturing industries, or is unable to recruit qualified personnel, the Company’s ability to manage the day-to-day aspects of its business may be materially adversely affected. The loss of the services of one or more executive officers or key employees, who also have strong personal ties with customers and suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company does not currently maintain “key person” life insurance.
The Company’s operations in foreign countries expose the Company to risks related to economic and political conditions, currency fluctuations, import/export restrictions, regulatory and other risks:The Company has manufacturing and distribution facilities in many countries. International operations are subject to certain risks including:
| • | | exposure to local economic conditions; |
| • | | exposure to local political conditions (including the risk of seizure of assets by foreign governments); |
| • | | currency exchange rate fluctuations (including, but not limited to, material exchange rate fluctuations, such as devaluations) and currency controls export and import restrictions; and |
| • | | compliance with U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and local laws prohibiting inappropriate payments. |
The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential effect on the Company are unpredictable and vary from country-to-country.
Certain of the Company’s operating entities report their financial condition and results of operations in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (including, but not limited to, Brazilian real, British pound, Chinese yuan renminbi, Czech crown, euro, Indian rupee, Mexican peso, Polish zloty, Russian ruble, South Korean won and Swedish krona). In reporting its consolidated statements of operations, the Company translates the reported results of these entities into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. As a result, fluctuations in the dollar against foreign currencies will affect the value at which the results of these entities are included within Federal- Mogul’s consolidated results.
The Company is exposed to a risk of gain or loss from changes in foreign exchange rates whenever the Company, or one of its foreign subsidiaries, enters into a purchase or sales agreement in a currency other than its functional currency. While the Company reduces such exposure by matching most revenues and costs within the same currency, changes in exchange rates could impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
54
The Company may not be successful in its efforts to identify, complete or integrate acquisitions, and the Company may pursue acquisitions or joint ventures that involve inherent risks, any ofwhich may cause the Company not to realize anticipated benefits and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations:In the past, the Company has grown through acquisitions, and may engage in acquisitions in the future as part of the Company’s sustainable global profitable growth strategy. The full benefits of these acquisitions, however, require integration of manufacturing, administrative, financial, sales, and marketing approaches and personnel. If the Company is unable to successfully integrate its acquisitions, it may not realize the benefits of the acquisitions, the financial results may be negatively affected, or additional cash may be required to integrate such operations.
In the future, the Company may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition or joint venture opportunities or complete any particular acquisition, combination, joint venture or other transaction on acceptable terms. The Company’s identification of suitable acquisition candidates and joint venture opportunities and the integration of acquired business operations involve risks inherent in assessing the values, strengths, weaknesses, risks and profitability of these opportunities. This includes the effects on the Company’s business, the potential overvaluation of acquisition candidates, diversion of management’s attention and risks associated with unanticipated problems or unforeseen liabilities. Moreover, any acquisition may require significant financial resources that would otherwise be used for the ongoing development of the Company’s business or require it to incur or assume additional indebtedness, resulting in increased leverage. Even if the Company identifies suitable acquisition candidates, there may be competition from buyers when trying to acquire these candidates or the Company may not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of any definitive agreements. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to acquire such candidates at reasonable prices, on favorable terms or at all.
The Company’s failure to identify suitable acquisition or joint venture opportunities may restrict the Company’s ability to grow its business. If the Company is successful in pursuing future acquisitions or joint ventures, the Company may be required to expend significant funds, incur additional debt and/or issue additional securities (potentially resulting in dilution to existing stockholders), which may materially adversely affect results of operations. If the Company spends significant funds or incurs additional debt, the Company’s ability to obtain financing for working capital or other purposes could decline and the Company may be more vulnerable to economic downturns and competitive pressures. Even if the Company overcomes these challenges and risks, it may not realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions and there may be other unanticipated or unidentified effects. While the Company would typically seek protection through representations and warranties and indemnities, as applicable, significant liabilities may not be identified in due diligence or may come to light only after the expiration of any indemnity periods.
Furthermore, the difficulties of integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically dispersed organizations, integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. These difficulties could be further increased to the extent the Company pursues acquisition or joint venture opportunities internationally. The Company may not be effective in retaining key employees or customers of the combined businesses. The Company may face integration issues pertaining to the internal controls and operations functions of the acquired companies and also may not realize cost efficiencies or synergies that were anticipated when selecting the acquisition candidates. The Company may experience managerial or other conflicts with its joint venture partners. Any of these items could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
The Company may not recognize anticipated benefits from any strategic divestiture of portions of our business:The Company evaluates potential divestiture opportunities with respect to portions of our business from time to time, and may determine to proceed with a divestiture opportunity if and when the Company believes such opportunity is consistent with its business strategy and it would be able to realize value for its stockholders in so doing. The Company has in the past sold (including its recent sale of F-M Sintertech), and may from time to time in the future sell, one or more portions, or all of its business. Any divestiture or disposition could expose the Company to significant risks, including, without limitation, fees for legal and transaction-related
55
services, diversion of management resources, loss of key personnel and reduction in revenue. Further, the Company may be required to retain or indemnify a buyer against certain liabilities and obligations in connection with any such divestiture, and it may also become subject to third-party claims arising out of such divestiture. In addition, the Company may not achieve the expected price in a divestiture transaction.
If a divestiture does occur, the Company cannot be certain that its business, operating results and financial condition will not be adversely affected. A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including the Company’s ability to:
| • | | Effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to any purchaser; |
| • | | Identify and separate the assets (including intangible assets) to be divested from those that it wishes to retain; |
| • | | Reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business; and |
| • | | Collect the proceeds from any divestitures. |
If the Company does not realize the expected benefits or synergies of any divestiture transaction, it could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s actions to separate its business into two divisions may result in additional costs:The Company is separating its business into two separate business divisions. One division will focus primarily on the manufacture and sale of powertrain products to original equipment manufacturers (“Powertrain” or “PT”), while the other will consist of the Company’s global aftermarket as well as its brake, chassis and wipers businesses (“Vehicle Components Solutions” or “VCS”). The Company has taken several actions in connection with the creation of these two operating divisions, including the appointing of a Chief Executive Officer for PT and a Chief Executive Officer for VCS and the identification of facilities that will be managed by each division. This separation may result in additional costs and expenses both during and after separation. No assurances can be given that the separation of the business into these two divisions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s profitability and consolidated financial position.
The Company is subject to possible insolvency of financial counterparties:The Company engages in numerous financial transactions and contracts including insurance policies, letters of credit, credit line agreements, financial derivatives (including interest rate swaps), and investment management agreements involving various counterparties. The Company is subject to the risk that one or more of these counterparties may become insolvent and therefore be unable to discharge its obligations under such contracts.
The automotive industry is highly competitive and the Company’s success depends upon its ability to compete effectively in the market: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. In addition, customers continue to require periodic price reductions that require the Company to continually assess, redefine and improve its operations, products and manufacturing capabilities to maintain and improve profitability. The Company’s management continues to develop and execute initiatives to meet the challenges of the industry and to achieve its strategy; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to compete effectively in the automotive market.
The Company’s substantial pension obligations and other postemployment benefits could adversely impact the Company’s operating margins and cash flows:The automotive industry, like other industries, continues to be impacted by the rising cost of providing pension and other postemployment benefits. The Company has substantial pension and other postemployment benefit obligations. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company had net periodic benefit costs of $2 million and $7 million for United States and non-United States pension plans, respectively, and a net periodic benefit credit related to other postemployment benefits of $17
56
million, inclusive of a $19 million curtailment gain. In addition, the Company sponsors certain defined benefit plans worldwide that are underfunded and will require cash payments. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had unfunded pension obligations of approximately $520 million and $419 million, for United States and non-United States pension plans, respectively. If the performance of the assets in the pension plans does not meet the Company’s expectations, or other actuarial assumptions are modified, the Company’s required contributions may be higher than it expects. The Company’s pension and other postemployment benefit obligations could adversely impact the Company’s operating margins and cash flows.
Certain disruptions in supply of and changes in the competitive environment for raw materials could adversely affect the Company’s operating margins and cash flows:The Company purchases a broad range of materials, components and finished parts. The Company also uses a significant amount of energy, both electricity and natural gas, in the production of its products. A significant disruption in the supply of these materials, supplies and energy or the failure of a supplier with whom the Company has established a single source supply relationship could decrease production and shipping levels, materially increase operating costs and materially adversely affect profit margins. Shortages of materials or interruptions in transportation systems, labor strikes, work stoppages, or other interruptions to or difficulties in the employment of labor or transportation in the markets where the Company purchases material, components and supplies for the production of products or where the products are produced, distributed or sold, whether as a result of labor strife, war, further acts of terrorism or otherwise, in each case may adversely affect profitability.
In recent periods there have been significant fluctuations in the prices of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, platinum, resins, steel, other base metals and energy which have had and may continue to have an unfavorable impact on the Company’s business. Any continued fluctuations in the price or availability of energy and materials may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. To address increased costs associated with these market forces, a number of the Company’s suppliers have implemented surcharges on existing fixed price contracts. Without the surcharge, some suppliers claim they will be unable to provide adequate supply. Competitive and marketing pressures may limit the Company’s ability to pass some of the supply and material cost increases on to the Company’s customers and may prevent the Company from doing so in the future. Furthermore, the Company’s customers are generally not obligated to accept price increases that the Company may desire to pass along to them. This inability to pass on price increases to customers when material prices increase rapidly or to significantly higher than historic levels could adversely affect the Company’s operating margins and cash flow, possibly resulting in lower operating income and profitability.
The Company’s hedging activities to address commodity price fluctuations may not be successful in offsetting future increases in those costs or may reduce or eliminate the benefits of any decreases in those costs:In order to mitigate short-term variation in operating results due to the aforementioned commodity price fluctuations, the Company hedges a portion of near-term exposure to certain raw materials used in production processes, primarily natural gas, copper, nickel, tin, zinc, high-grade aluminum and aluminum alloy. The results of the Company’s hedging practice could be positive, neutral or negative in any period depending on price changes in the hedged exposures.
The Company’s hedging activities are not designed to mitigate long-term commodity price fluctuations and, therefore, will not protect from long-term commodity price increases. The Company’s future hedging positions may not correlate to actual energy or raw materials costs, which would cause acceleration in the recognition of unrealized gains and losses on hedging positions in operating results.
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and the cost of complying, or the Company’s failure to comply with such requirements may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations:The
57
Company is subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations relating to the release or discharge of materials into the environment, the management, use, processing, handling, storage, transport or disposal of hazardous waste materials, or otherwise relating to the protection of public and employee health and safety and the environment. These laws and regulations expose the Company to liability for the environmental condition of its current and former facilities or third-party waste disposal sites to which it has sent wastes, and also may expose the Company to liability for the conduct of others or for the Company’s actions that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time these actions were taken. These laws and regulations also may expose the Company to liability for claims of personal injury or property damage related to alleged exposure to hazardous or toxic materials. The Company is currently involved in investigation and remediation activities at various sites and there can be no assurances that any liabilities or costs associated with such activities will not exceed any corresponding reserves the Company has taken. In addition, the Company cannot guarantee that it will at all times be in compliance with all such requirements. The cost of complying with these requirements may also increase substantially in future years. If the Company violates or fails to comply with these requirements, the Company could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. These requirements are complex, change frequently and may become more stringent over time, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
The Company’s failure to maintain and comply with environmental permits that the Company is required to maintain could result in fines or penalties or other sanctions and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or results. Future events, such as new environmental regulations or changes in or modified interpretations of existing laws and regulations or enforcement policies, newly discovered information or further investigation or evaluation of the potential health hazards of our products, operations or business activities, may give rise to additional compliance and other costs that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditions and operations.
New regulations related to “conflict minerals” may force the Company to incur additional expenses and may make its supply chain more complex. In August 2012, the SEC adopted annual disclosure and reporting requirements for those companies who use certain minerals known as “conflict minerals” mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in their products. These new requirements will require due diligence efforts in 2013, with initial disclosure requirements beginning in 2014. There will be significant costs associated with complying with these disclosure requirements, including for diligence to determine the sources of conflict minerals used in the Company’s products and other potential changes to products, processes or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities.
The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s profitability and consolidated financial position:The Company is involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that, from time to time, are significant. These are typically claims that arise in the normal course of business including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, including disputes with suppliers, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, environmental issues, tax matters and employment matters. No assurances can be given that such proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s profitability and consolidated financial position.
If the Company is unable to protect its intellectual property and prevent its improper use by third parties, the Company’s ability to compete in the market may be harmed:Various patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws afford only limited protection and may not prevent the Company’s competitors from duplicating the Company’s products or gaining access to its proprietary information and technology. These means also may not permit the Company to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.
58
Any of the Company’s patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be successful should its intellectual property rights be challenged for any reason. The laws of countries outside the U.S. may also not favor the protection and enforcement of the Company’s intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. If the Company’s patent claims or other intellectual property rights are rendered invalid or unenforceable, or narrowed in scope, the coverage afforded to the Company’s products could be impaired, which could significantly impede the Company’s ability to market its products, negatively affect its competitive position and materially adversely affect its business and results of operations. The Company also relies on trade secrets and other confidential information, but these may be misappropriated or otherwise disclosed in an unauthorized manner to third parties.
The Company’s pending or future patent applications may not result in an issued patent. Additionally, newly issued patents may not provide meaningful protection against competitors or against competitive technologies. Courts in the United States and in other countries may invalidate the Company’s patents or find them unenforceable. Competitors may also be able to design around the Company’s patents. Other parties may develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. Any efforts to enforce the Company’s intellectual property rights may be costly, distract management’s attention and resources, and ultimately be unsuccessful. If these developments were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on the Company’s sales. If the Company’s intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, the Company may not be able to commercialize its technologies, products or services and the Company’s competitors could commercialize the Company’s technologies, which could result in a decrease in the Company’s sales and market share and could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s products could infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may lead to litigation that could itself be costly, could result in the payment of substantial damages or royalties, and could prevent the Company from using technology that is essential to its products:The Company cannot guarantee that its products, manufacturing processes or other methods do not infringe the patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Infringement and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against the Company, its customers, licensees or other parties indemnified by the Company, whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and harm the Company’s reputation. Such claims and proceedings can also distract and divert management and key personnel from other tasks important to the success of its business. In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force the Company to do one or more of the following:
| • | | cease selling or using any products that incorporate the asserted intellectual property, which would adversely affect the Company’s revenue; |
| • | | pay substantial damages for past use of the asserted intellectual property; |
| • | | obtain a license from the holder of the asserted intellectual property, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all; and |
| • | | redesign or rename, in the case of trademark claims, products to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties, which may not be possible and could be costly and time-consuming if it is possible to do. |
In the event of an adverse determination in an intellectual property suit or proceeding, or the Company’s failure to license essential technology, the Company’s sales could be harmed and its costs could increase, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company may be exposed to certain regulatory and financial risks related to climate change:Climate change is continuing to receive increasing attention worldwide. Many scientists, legislators and others attribute climate change to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including
59
carbon dioxide, which could lead to additional legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The focus on emissions could increase costs associated with the Company’s operations, including costs for raw materials and transportation. Because the scope of future laws in this area is uncertain, the Company cannot predict the potential impact of such laws on its future consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
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 June 30, 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.
The Company May Be Subject to the Pension liabilities of other Members of Mr. Icahn’s Control Group which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company:As a result of the more than 80% ownership interest in the Company by Mr. Icahn’s affiliates, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the pension liabilities of all entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80%. As members of the controlled group, the Company would be liable for any failure of other group companies to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon a termination of those pension plans. In addition, other entities now or in the future within the controlled group in which the Company is included may have pension plan obligations that are, or may become, underfunded and it would be liable for any failure of such entities to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon termination of such plans. Any such liabilities could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The current underfunded status of other group pension plans requires those companies to notify the PBGC of certain “reportable events,” such as if the Company ceases to be a member of the controlled group, or if it makes certain extraordinary dividends or stock redemptions. The obligation to report could cause the Company to seek to delay or reconsider the occurrence of such reportable events.
The Company is controlled by a principal stockholder whose interests may differ from your interests:Approximately 80.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock are beneficially owned indirectly by Mr. Carl C. Icahn. As a result of his stock ownership, Mr. Icahn controls the Company and has the power to elect a majority of our directors, appoint new management and approve any action requiring the approval of the holders of common stock, including adopting amendments to our certificate of incorporation and approving acquisitions or sales of all or substantially all of our assets. The directors elected by Mr. Icahn have the ability to control decisions affecting our capital structure, including the issuance of additional capital stock, the issuance of debt or obtaining other sources of financing, the implementation of stock repurchase programs and the declaration of dividends. Circumstances may occur in which the interests of our principal stockholder could be in conflict with the interests of the Company of the Company’s other stockholders. In addition, Mr. Icahn and entities controlled by him may have an interest in pursuing transactions that, in their judgment, enhance the value of their equity investment in our company. To the extent that conflicts arise between the Company and Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, those conflicts may be resolved in a manner adverse to the Company and its other shareholders.
