FEDERAL-MOGUL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2013
Interim Financial Statements: The unaudited condensed 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 nine months ended September 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. See Notes 4 and 20 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 September 30, 2013, Mr. Carl C. Icahn indirectly controls approximately 80.73% of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock and, by virtue of such stock ownership, is able to control or exert substantial influence over the Company, including the election of directors, business strategy and policies, mergers or other business combinations, acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of common stock or other securities, incurrence of debt or obtaining other sources of financing, and the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock. The existence of a controlling stockholder may have the effect of making it difficult for, or may discourage or delay, a third party from seeking to acquire a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of the stock.
Mr. Icahn’s interests may not always be consistent with the Company’s interests or with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. Mr. Icahn and entities controlled by him may also pursue acquisitions or business opportunities that may or may not be complementary to the Company’s business. To the extent that conflicts of interest may arise between the Company and Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, those conflicts may be resolved in a manner adverse to the Company or its other shareholders.
Icahn Sourcing, LLC (“Icahn Sourcing”) is an entity formed 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 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 $9 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company divested its sintered components operations located in France, its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada, its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom and its fuel pump business, which included an aftermarket business component, and a manufacturing and research and development facility located in the United States. 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:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | September 30 | | December 31 |
| | 2013 | | 2012 |
| | (Millions of Dollars) |
Gross accounts receivable factored | | $ | 274 |

|
Gross accounts receivable factored, qualifying as sales | | 263 |
|

|
Undrawn cash on factored accounts receivable | | — |

|
Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and expenses associated with the factoring of receivables are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |
| | September 30 | | September 30 |
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2013 | | 2012 |
| | (Millions of Dollars) |
Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales | | $ | 379 |
|
| $ | 335 |
|
| $ | 1,077 |
|
| $ | 1,111 |
|
Expenses associated with factoring of receivables | | (2 | ) |
| (1 | ) |
| (5 | ) |
| (5 | ) |
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 September 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.
The expenses associated with receivables factoring are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other 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.
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.”
Noncontrolling Interests: The following table presents a rollforward of the changes in noncontrolling interests:
|

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. 2013-1, 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. 2012-2, 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. 2013-2, 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. 2013-4, 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. 2013-5, 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.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will have minimal impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU is effective for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and changes the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. 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.
The following table provides a quarterly summary of the Company’s consolidated restructuring liabilities and related activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 by reporting segment. “PT,” represents Powertrain and “VCS” represents Vehicle Components Solutions.

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 $48 million net loss (no income tax impact), which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax” during the nine months ended September 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 “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax” during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
During September 2013, the Company completed the divestiture of its fuel pump business. This disposal resulted in a $10 million net gain (no income tax impact), which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax” during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. As certain employees at the fuel pump manufacturing facility participated in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, the Company had this plan re-measured due to its curtailment implications. The termination of those employees and the related reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date of the remaining active plan participants in the U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan triggered a $19 million OPEB curtailment gain which is included in the "Gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations" for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Operating results related to discontinued operations are as follows:

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 September 30, 2013, the remaining five-year interest rate swap agreements have a total notional value of $40 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, unrealized net losses of less than $1 million and $10 million, respectively, were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as a result of these hedges. As of September 30, 2013, losses of less than $1 million are expected to be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to the consolidated statement of operations within the next 3 months.
These interest rate swaps reduce the Company’s overall interest rate risk. However, due to the remaining outstanding borrowings on the Company’s Debt Facilities and other borrowing facilities that continue to have variable interest rates, management believes that interest rate risk to the Company could be material if there are significant adverse changes in interest rates. To the extent that interest rates change by 25 basis points, the Company’s annual interest expense would show a corresponding change of
approximately $7 million and $2 million for years 2014 and 2015, respectively, the term of the Company’s variable-rate term loans.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include natural gas, copper, nickel, tin, zinc, high-grade aluminum and aluminum alloy. Forward contracts are used to mitigate commodity price risk associated with raw materials, generally related to purchases forecast for up to fifteen months in the future.
Information regarding the Company’s outstanding commodity price hedge contracts is as follows:

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:

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 $(2) million and less than $(1) million in “Other expense, net” related to these contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
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 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company has one VCS customer that accounts for approximately 14% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance as of September 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. |
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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are set forth in the table below:

The Company calculates the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts, commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts using quoted interest rate curves, quoted commodity forward rates and quoted currency forward rates, respectively, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values.
The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted swap interest rates or bank deposit rates. For contracts which, when aggregated by counterparty, are in a liability position, the rates are adjusted by the credit spread that market participants would apply if buying these contracts from the Company’s counterparties.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are set forth in the table below:

Property, plant and equipment with carrying values of $5 million were written down to their fair value of $2 million, resulting in a charge of $3 million, which was recorded within “Adjustment of assets to fair value” for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Property, plant and equipment with carrying values of $99 million were written down to their fair value of $66 million, resulting in a charge of $26 million in continuing operations, which was recorded within “Adjustment of assets to fair value” for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and a charge $7 million in discontinued operations, which was recorded within “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax” for the nine months ended September 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 $101 million were written down to their fair value of $55 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $46 million, which was recorded within “Adjustment of assets to fair value” for the nine months ended September 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 two of the Company’s reporting units with a combined carrying value of $95 million was written down to its fair value of zero, resulting in a $95 million impairment charge for the nine months ended September 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 $95 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 September 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 | | Nine Months Ended |

The obligations of the Company under the Debt Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company, and are secured by substantially all personal property and certain real property of the Company and such guarantors, subject to certain limitations. The liens granted to secure these obligations and certain cash management and hedging obligations have first priority.
The Debt Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including, subject to certain exceptions, restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, mandatory prepayment provisions associated with specified asset sales and dispositions, and limitations on i) investments; ii) certain acquisitions, mergers or consolidations; iii) sale and leaseback transactions; iv) certain transactions with affiliates; and v) dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock. Per the terms of the credit facility, $50 million of the Tranche C Term Loan proceeds were deposited in a Term Letter of Credit Account. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
The revolving credit facility has an available borrowing base of $476 million and $451 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company had $39 million and $37 million of letters of credit outstanding as of September 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.
The Company has explored in the past and continues to explore alternatives for refinancing all or a portion of the Debt Facilities.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company ceased operations at one of its U.S. manufacturing locations. As this location participated in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, the Company had this plan re-measured due to its curtailment implications. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013.
During the third quarter of 2012, as a result of contract negotiations with a union at one of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing locations, the retiree medical benefits were modified for the location’s active participants. As this location participated in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, the Company had this plan re-measured due to its curtailment implications. Since this plan change reduced benefits attributable to employee service already rendered, it was treated as a negative plan amendment, which created a $13 million prior service credit in AOCL. The corresponding reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date also triggered the recognition of a $51 million curtailment gain which was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. It should be noted that the calculation of the curtailment excluded the newly created prior service credit.
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $(6) million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $39 million. This compares to an income tax benefit of $8 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $(16) million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2012 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlements, pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $(30) million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $145 million. This compares to an income tax benefit of $27 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $(47) million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlements, valuation allowance release in Germany, a tax benefit recorded related to a special economic zone tax incentive in Poland and pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefit.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that certain of its unrecognized tax benefits in multiple jurisdictions, which primarily relate to transfer pricing and other various matters, may decrease by approximately $28 million in the next 12 months due to audit settlements or statute expirations, of which approximately $7 million, if recognized could impact the effective tax rate.
On July 11, 2013, Federal-Mogul Corporation became part of the Icahn Enterprises affiliated group of corporations as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the Code"), as amended, of which American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”) is the common parent. The Company subsequently entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (the “Tax Allocation Agreement”) with AEP. Pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, AEP and the Company have agreed to the allocation of certain income tax items. The Company will join AEP in the filing of AEP’s federal consolidated return and certain state consolidated returns. In those jurisdictions where the Company is filing consolidated returns with AEP, the Company will pay to AEP any tax it would have owed had it continued to file separately. To the extent that the AEP consolidated group is able to reduce its tax liability as a result of including the Company in its consolidated group, AEP will pay the Company an amount equal to 20% of such reduction and the Company will carryforward for its own use under the Tax Allocation Agreement 80% of the items that caused the tax reduction (the “Excess Tax Benefits”). While a member of the AEP affiliated group the Company will reduce the amounts it would otherwise owe AEP by the Excess Tax Benefits. Moreover, if the Company should ever become deconsolidated from AEP, AEP will reimburse the Company for any tax liability in post-consolidation years the Company would not have paid had it actually had the Excess Tax Benefits for its own use. The cumulative payments to the Company by AEP post-consolidation cannot exceed the cumulative reductions in tax to the AEP group resulting from its use of the Excess Tax Benefits. Separate return methodology will be used in determining income taxes.

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.
On a global basis, 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:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | September 30 | | December 31 |
| | 2013 | | 2012 |
| | (Millions of Dollars) |
Other current liabilities | | $ | 6 |
| | $ | 6 |
|
Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent) | | 9 |
| | 9 |
|
| | $ | 15 |
| | $ | 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 September 30, 2013, management estimates that reasonably possible material additional losses above and beyond management’s best estimate of required remediation costs as recorded approximate $45 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:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | September 30 | | December 31 |
| | 2013 | | 2012 |
| | (Millions of Dollars) |
Other current liabilities | | $ | 4 |
| | $ | 3 |
|
Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent) | | 24 |
| | 26 |
|
| | $ | 28 |
| | $ | 29 |
|
The Company has conditional asset retirement obligations (“CARO”), primarily related to removal costs of hazardous materials in buildings, for which it believes reasonable cost estimates cannot be made at this time because the Company does not believe it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of potential settlement dates for these retirement obligations. Accordingly, the Company is currently unable to determine amounts to accrue for CARO at such sites.
Affiliate Pension Obligations
In July 2013 the Company completed a common stock rights offering. 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 more than 80% ownership interest in the Company by Mr. Icahn’s affiliates, the Company is subject to the pension liabilities of all entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80%. One such entity, ACF Industries LLC ("ACF"), is the sponsor of several pension plans. All the minimum funding requirements of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 for these plans have been met as of 9/30/2013. If the ACF plans were voluntarily terminated, they would be underfunded by approximately $117 million as of September 30, 2013. These results are based on the most recent information provided by the plans’ actuaries. These liabilities could increase or decrease, depending on a number of factors, including future changes in benefits, investment returns, and the assumptions used to calculate the liability. As members of the controlled group, the Company would be liable for any failure of ACF to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon a termination of the pension plans of ACF. 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 the Company 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. Further, the failure to pay these pension obligations when due may result in the creation of liens in favor of the pension plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) against the assets of each member of the controlled group.
The current underfunded status of the pension plans of ACF requires it to notify the PBGC of certain “reportable events,” such as if the Company ceases to be a member of the ACF controlled group, or the Company 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.
Starfire Holding Corporation ("Starfire") which is 99.4% owned by Mr. Icahn, has undertaken to indemnify Federal-Mogul from losses resulting from any imposition of certain pension funding or termination liabilities that may be imposed on us and our subsidiaries or our assets as a result of being a member of the Icahn controlled group. However, Starfire is not required to maintain
a net worth equal to the amounts by which ACF is underfunded, and there can be no guarantee Starfire will be able to fund its indemnification obligations to the Company.
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 $3 million and $4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized SARs income of $1 million and $3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
The September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 SARs fair values were estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

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 | | Nine Months Ended |
| | September 30 | | September 30 |

Net income (loss) per common share attributable to Federal-Mogul – basic and diluted: | | | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) from continuing operations | | $ | 0.21 |

Net income (loss) | | $ | 0.26 |
| | $ | (0.11 | ) | | $ | 0.52 |
| | $ | (0.37 | ) |
The Company recognized a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 increased by 51,124,744 shares to 150,029,244 shares outstanding as of July 10, 2013.

20. | 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.
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 2013, the Company adjusted its definition of Operational EBITDA to exclude the income statement impacts associated with stock appreciation rights. Accordingly, Operational EBITDA 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, OPEB curtailment gains or losses and the income statement impacts associated with stock appreciation rights. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company derived 37% of its sales in the United States and 63% internationally. The Company has operations in established markets including 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 and Turkey. 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 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 benefiting 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.
The PT segment primarily represents the Company’s OE business. About 92% of PT’s sales is to OEM customers, with the remaining 8% of its sales 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 sales 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.
For a more detailed description of the Company’s business, products, industry, operating strategy and associated risks, refer to the Annual Report.

Consolidated sales increased by $145 million or 9%, to $1,690 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $1,545 million in the same period of 2012. The impact of foreign currency increased sales by $13 million, and the constant dollar sales increase was $132 million. Excluding sales directly related to the acquisition of the spark plug business from BorgWarner, Inc. ("BWA") of $13 million and sales from the European distribution agreement for ignition products of $27 million, sales organically increased by $92 million, which is net of $8 million from customer price decreases. This organic growth is comprised of a 6% increase in sales in Europe or $38 million, a 6% increase in sales in North America or $40 million and a 7% increase in sales in ROW or $14 million.
The Company's organic sales growth of $92 million is primarily driven by an increase in external sales volumes in the PT segment of $91 million or 10%. This increase is driven by additional demand for PT's products in the European market where sales increased by 5% or $23 million. This is compared to a decline in European light vehicle and commercial vehicle production of 1% and 7%, respectively. In North America, sales increased by 16% or $47 million compared to an increase in both light vehicle and commercial vehicle production of 1% and 5% respectively. In ROW, including Asia, as PT's presence in the emerging market light vehicle market grew, sales increased by $21 million or 15%. When taking into account this regional and market mix of PT's sales, sales therefore grew in excess of underlying market demand.
Cost of products sold increased by $103 million to $1,435 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $1,332 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 $104 million and $10 million as a result of the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA. Savings in material costs of $20 million were partially offset by currency impacts of $10 million and a decline in inter-segment sales volumes of $2 million.
Gross margin increased by $42 million to $255 million, or 15.1% of sales, for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $213 million, or 13.8% of sales in the same period of 2012. The favorable impact on margins due to the volume increase was $23 million. Productivity improved gross margin by $4 million. The favorable impact on margins from materials and services sourcing savings was $20 million, partially offset by $8 million of unfavorable customer pricing. The acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA provided $3 million of gross margin, offset by $2 million of unabsorbed fixed costs on inter-segment sales.
Reporting Segment Results – Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in sales, cost of products sold, gross margin and operational EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2012 for each of the Company’s reporting segments. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company adjusted its definition of Operational EBITDA to exclude the income statement impacts associated with stock appreciation rights. Accordingly, Operational EBITDA 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 components of the U.S. based funded pension plan, OPEB curtailment gains or losses and the income statement impacts associated with stock appreciation rights. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in this filing.

Powertrain
Sales increased by $103 million, or 11%, to $1,038 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $935 million in the same period of 2012. The Powertrain segment generates approximately 70% of its sales outside the United States and the resulting currency movements increased sales by $9 million. The acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA also increased sales by $13 million. External sales volumes increased by $91 million, net of $2 million from customer price decreases, or 10%. This increase is driven by additional demand for PT's products in the European market where sales increased by 5% or $23 million. This is compared to a decline in European light vehicle and commercial vehicle production of 1% and 7%, respectively. In North America, sales increased by 16% or $47 million compared to an increase in both light vehicle and commercial vehicle production of 1% and 5% respectively. In ROW, including Asia, as PT's presence in the emerging market light vehicle market grew, sales increased by $21 million or 15%. When taking into account this regional and market mix of PT's sales, sales therefore grew in excess of underlying market demand.
Cost of products sold increased by $75 million to $908 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $833 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overhead as a direct result of the increase in external and inter-segment sales volumes was $63 million, with $10 million of cost increases as a result of the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA. Savings in material costs of $11 million were offset by currency impacts of $10 million.
Gross margin increased by $28 million to $130 million, or 12.5% of sales, for the third quarter of 2013 from $102 million, or 10.9% of sales, in the same period of 2012. The favorable impact on margins due to the increase in external sales volumes was $22 million representing a conversion of 24%. This increase is partly offset by $2 million of unabsorbed fixed costs on inter-segment sales. The favorable impact on margins from materials and services sourcing savings was $11 million, partially offset by $2 million of unfavorable customer pricing. The acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA provided $3 million of gross margin, offset by $3 million of increased depreciation and $1 million of currency impacts.
Operational EBITDA increased by $40 million to $94 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $54 million in the same period of 2012. The increase includes $11 million of materials sourcing savings, favorable productivity of $7 million, and $2 million directly related to the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA. These increases were offset by unabsorbed fixed costs on inter-segment sales of $2 million and unfavorable customer pricing of $2 million.
Vehicle Components Solutions
Sales increased by $35 million, or 5%, to $734 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $699 million in the same period of 2012. The VCS segment generates approximately 50% of its sales outside the United States and the resulting currency movements increased sales by $4 million. External sales volumes increased by $28 million, net of $6 million in customer price decreases. This 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. On a regional basis, the remainder of the volume increase of $1 million comprises an increase of $15 million, or 7% in Europe as a result of strong market gains in this region. This was partially offset by a decline in sales in North America of $7 million, or 2%, reflecting weaker sales in the export business into Venezuela as well as managed exits of some low margin business. Sales in ROW decreased by $7 million, or 14%, due to the exiting of additional low margin business in this region.
Cost of products sold increased by $23 million to $609 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $586 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overhead as a direct result of the increase in external and inter-segment sales volumes was $36 million partially offset by materials and services sourcing savings of $9 million and efficiencies of $4 million.
Gross margin increased by $12 million to $125 million, or 17.0% of sales, for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $113 million or 16.2% of sales, in the same period of 2012. The favorable impact of increased sales volumes was mostly offset by unfavorable sales mix, resulting in increased gross margin of only $1 million. Savings in materials and sourced products increased gross margin by $9 million while improvements in operating and distribution efficiency increased gross margin by $4 million. This was partially offset by customer price decreases of $6 million.
Operational EBITDA increased by $4 million to $53 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $49 million in the same period of 2012. Savings in materials and sourced products of $10 million and currency movements of $2 million were partially offset by unfavorable customer pricing of $6 million. A further negative impact of $2 million was attributable to adverse mix from lower sales in the export business as well as the ongoing integration of the European distribution agreement for ignition products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $177 million, or 10.5% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2013 as compared to $173 million, or 11.2% 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 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Adjustment of Assets to Fair Value
The Company recognized PPE fair value adjustment charge of $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognized a fair value adjustment charge of $53 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The charge was comprised of $33 million of trademark and brand name impairments, $17 million of PP&E write downs and $3 million of goodwill impairments.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $24 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $32 million for the third 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 September 30, 2013:

OPEB Curtailment Gain
During the third quarter of 2012, as a result of contract negotiations with a union at one of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing locations, the retiree medical benefits were modified for the location’s active participants. As this location participated in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, the Company had this plan re-measured due to its curtailment implications. Since this plan change reduced benefits attributable to employee service already rendered, it was treated as a negative plan amendment, which created a $13 million prior service credit in AOCL. The corresponding reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date also triggered the recognition of a $51 million curtailment gain which was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2012. It should be noted that the calculation of the curtailment excluded the newly created prior service credit.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $11 million for the same period of 2012. The specific components of “Other expense, net” are as follows:

Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $(6) million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $39 million. This compares to an income tax benefit of $8 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $(16) million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2012 differs from the
U.S. statutory rate due primarily to release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlements, pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefits.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that certain of its unrecognized tax benefits in multiple jurisdictions, which primarily relate to transfer pricing and other various matters, may decrease by approximately $28 million in the next 12 months due to audit settlements or statute expirations, of which approximately $7 million, if recognized could impact the effective tax rate.
On July 11, 2013, Federal-Mogul Corporation became part of the Icahn Enterprises affiliated group of corporations as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, of which American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”) is the common parent. The Company subsequently entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (the “Tax Allocation Agreement”) with AEP. Pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, AEP and the Company have agreed to the allocation of certain income tax items. The Company will join AEP in the filing of AEP’s federal consolidated return and certain state consolidated returns. In those jurisdictions where the Company is filing consolidated returns with AEP, the Company will pay to AEP any tax it would have owed had it continued to file separately. To the extent that the AEP consolidated group is able to reduce its tax liability as a result of including the Company in its consolidated group, AEP will pay the Company an amount equal to 20% of such reduction and the Company will carryforward for its own use under the Tax Allocation Agreement 80% of the items that caused the tax reduction (the “Excess Tax Benefits”). While a member of the AEP affiliated group the Company will reduce the amounts it would otherwise owe AEP by the Excess Tax Benefits. Moreover, if the Company should ever become deconsolidated from AEP, AEP will reimburse the Company for any tax liability in post-consolidation years the Company would not have paid had it actually had the Excess Tax Benefits for its own use. The cumulative payments to the Company by AEP post-consolidation cannot exceed the cumulative reductions in tax to the AEP group resulting from its use of the Excess Tax Benefits. Separate return methodology will be used in determining income taxes.
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 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 2013, the Company divested its sintered components operations located in France (first quarter event), its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada (second quarter event), its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom (second quarter event) and its fuel pump business, which included an aftermarket business component, and a manufacturing and research and development facility located in the United States (third quarter event). These divestitures have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized a gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $7 million and $(3) million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Consolidated sales increased by $189 million or 4%, to $5,093 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $4,904 million in the same period of 2012 with a favorable foreign currency impact of $12 million. Excluding sales directly related to the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA of $43 million and sales from the European distribution agreement for ignition products of $82 million, sales increased by $41 million, which is net of $11 million from customer price decreases. The organic external sales volume increase was therefore $63 million, comprised of PT increases of $102 million partially offset by VCS decreases of $39 million.
Given PT’s weighted market presence in the light vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial markets and the year-over-year changes in production rates for those markets, the expected change in PT sales would indicate a decline of 1%. However, PT sales increased by 4%, excluding the impact on sales from the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA – reflecting growth in excess of the underlying market. This was driven by an increase in sales in North America of 8% or $69 million, an increase in sales in ROW of 10% or $46 million and a decrease in sales in Europe of 1% or $17 million.
In the VCS segment, external sales volumes decreased by $39 million excluding the impact of sales from the European distribution agreement for ignition products of $82 million. This was 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 into Venezuela as a result of a tightening in exchange rate control in the country. However, this was partly offset by an increase in sales in VCS Europe of 4% resulting from aftermarket volume gains and improved market conditions.
Cost of products sold increased by $151 million to $4,311 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4,160 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overheads as a direct result of the increase in external and inter-segment sales volumes was $150 million along with an increase of $34 million directly related to the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA. Materials and sourcing savings of $55 million were partly offset by additional costs of $3 million and currency movements of $16 million.
Gross margin increased by $38 million to $782 million, or 15.4% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $744 million, or 15.2% of sales, in the same period of 2012 driven mainly by materials and services sourcing savings of $55 million. As well, the product mix issues experienced in the first half of the year due to commercial vehicle production declining to a greater extent than light vehicle production has begun to stabilize. Therefore, the impact on margins due to volume increases was an increase of $4 million. The impact of the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA of $9 million and reduced pension expense of $5 million were offset by $11 million of unfavorable customer pricing, $8 million of increased depreciation, $4 million of currency movements and $3 million of unfavorable productivity.
Reporting Segment Results – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in sales, cost of products sold, gross margin and operational EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2012 for each of the Company’s reporting segments. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company adjusted its definition of Operational EBITDA to exclude the income statement impacts associated with stock appreciation rights. Accordingly, Operational EBITDA 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 components of the U.S. based funded pension plan, OPEB curtailment gains or losses and the income statement impacts associated with stock appreciation rights. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in this filing.

Powertrain
Sales increased by $141 million, or 5%, to $3,139 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $2,998 million in the same period of 2012 of which $43 million resulted from the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA. External sales volumes increased by $98 million net of customer price decreases of $4 million. This was driven by an increase in sales in North America of 8% or $69 million, an increase in sales in ROW of 10% or $46 million and a decrease in sales in Europe of 1% or $17 million. Given PT’s weighted market presence in the light vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial markets and the year over year changes in production rates for those markets, the expected change in PT sales would be a decline of 1%. However, PT sales increased by 4%, excluding the impact on sales from the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA – reflecting growth in excess of the underlying market.
Cost of products sold increased by $132 million to $2,741 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,609 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in materials, labor and overheads as a direct result of the increase in external and inter-segment sales volumes was $95 million along with an increase of $34 million directly related to the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA. Materials and sourcing savings of $32 million were offset by currency movements of $19 million, inefficiencies of $9 million, and increased depreciation of $7 million.
Gross margin increased by $9 million to $398 million, or 12.7% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $389 million, or 13.0% of sales, in the same period of 2012 driven mainly by materials and services sourcing savings of $32 million. As well, the product mix issues experienced in the first half of the year due to commercial vehicle production declining to a greater extent than light vehicle production has begun to stabilize. Therefore, the impact on margins due to volume increases alone was an increase of $5 million. This is offset by a decrease in gross margin of $9 million due to unabsorbed fixed costs on inter-segment sales volumes. The impact of the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA of $9 million was offset by $9 million of unfavorable productivity, $8 million of currency movements, $7 million of increased depreciation, and $4 million of unfavorable customer pricing.
Operational EBITDA increased by $29 million to $286 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $257 million in the same period of 2012. This increase was due to favorable materials and services sourcing of $31 million and $8 million directly related to the acquisition of the spark plug business from BWA. The decrease in EBITDA of $9 million from unabsorbed fixed costs on inter-segment sales more than offset an increase from improved external sales volumes of $6 million. Favorable materials and services sourcing of $31 million was partly offset by unfavorable customer pricing of $4 million, currency impacts of $3 million and unfavorable productivity of $3 million mainly driven by increased year-over-year incentive compensation and project costs in excess of operational efficiencies.
Vehicle Components Solutions
Sales increased by $41 million, or 2%, to $2,209 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $2,168 million in the same period of 2012, including $82 million from the European distribution agreement for ignition products. The organic external sales volumes change was therefore a decline of $46 million, including the impact of customer price decreases of $7 million. This was driven by a decline in North America of $54 million or 4%. This reflects the cessation of selected non-strategic business contracts as well as a a softening in the export business, mainly into Venezuela as a result of a tightening in exchange rate control in the country. Sales in ROW decreased by $17 million or 11%. However, this was offset by an increase in sales in VCS Europe of $25 million or 4%, excluding the impact on sales from the European distribution agreement for ignition products, due to strong aftermarket volume gains as market conditions continued to improve.
Cost of products sold increased by $17 million to $1,825 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1,808 million in the same period of 2012. This increase was due to $44 million directly associated with external sales volumes partly offset by favorable materials and services sourcing savings of $23 million and efficiencies of $6 million.
Gross margin increased by $24 million to $384 million, or 17.4% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $360 million or 16.6% of sales, in the same period of 2012. This is the result of materials and services sourcing savings of $23 million and favorable productivity of $6 million partially offset by unfavorable customer pricing of $7 million.
Operational EBITDA decreased by $1 million to $161 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $162 million in the same period of 2012. There was a $14 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 $26 million were 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 $545 million, or 10.7% of net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $532 million, also 10.8% of net sales, for the same period in 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 $130 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with $129 million for the same period in 2012.
Adjustment of Assets to Fair Value
The Company recognized PPE fair value adjustment charge of $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognized a fair value adjustment charge of $168 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The charge was comprised of $96 million of goodwill impairments, $46 million of trademark and brand name impairments and $26 million of PP&E write downs.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $77 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $97 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease is 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013:

OPEB Curtailment Gain
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company ceased operations at one of its U.S. manufacturing locations. As this location participated in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, the Company had this plan re-measured due to its curtailment implications. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013.
During the third quarter of 2012, as a result of contract negotiations with a union at one of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing locations, the retiree medical benefits were modified for the location’s active participants. As this location participated in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, the Company had this plan re-measured due to its curtailment implications. Since this plan change reduced benefits attributable to employee service already rendered, it was treated as a negative plan amendment, which created a $13 million prior service credit in AOCL. The corresponding reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date also triggered the recognition of a $51 million curtailment gain which was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. It should be noted that the calculation of the curtailment excluded the newly created prior service credit.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $17 million for the same period of 2012. The specific components of “Other expense, net” are as follows:

Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $(30) million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $145 million. This compares to an income tax benefit of $27 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $(47) million in the same period of 2012. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to release of uncertain tax positions due to audit settlements, valuation allowance release in Germany, a tax benefit recorded related to a special economic zone tax incentive in Poland and pre-tax income taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate partially offset by pre-tax losses with no tax benefit.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that certain of its unrecognized tax benefits in multiple jurisdictions, which primarily relate to transfer pricing and other various matters, may decrease by approximately $28 million in the next 12 months due to audit settlements or statute expirations, of which approximately $7 million, if recognized could impact the effective tax rate.
On July 11, 2013, Federal-Mogul Corporation became part of the Icahn Enterprises affiliated group of corporations as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, of which American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”) is the common parent. The Company subsequently entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (the “Tax Allocation Agreement”) with AEP. Pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, AEP and the Company have agreed to the allocation of certain income tax items. The Company will join AEP in the filing of AEP’s federal consolidated return and certain state consolidated returns. In those jurisdictions where the Company is filing consolidated returns with AEP, the Company will pay to AEP any tax it would have owed had it continued to file separately. To the extent that the AEP consolidated group is able to reduce its tax liability as a result of including the Company in its consolidated group, AEP will pay the Company an amount equal to 20% of such reduction and the Company will carryforward for its own use under the Tax Allocation Agreement 80% of the items that caused the tax reduction (the “Excess Tax Benefits”). While a member of the AEP affiliated group the Company will reduce the amounts it would otherwise owe AEP by the Excess Tax Benefits. Moreover, if the Company should ever become deconsolidated from AEP, AEP will reimburse the Company for any tax liability in post-consolidation years the Company would not have paid had it actually had the Excess Tax Benefits for its own use. The cumulative payments to the Company by AEP post-consolidation cannot exceed the cumulative reductions in tax to the AEP group resulting from its use of the Excess Tax Benefits. Separate return methodology will be used in determining income taxes.
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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company divested its sintered components operations located in France (first quarter event), its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada (second quarter event), its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom (second quarter event) and its fuel pump business, which included an aftermarket business component, and a manufacturing and research
and development facility located in the United States (third quarter event). These divestitures have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized losses from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $(49) million and $(14) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Litigation and Environmental Contingencies
For a summary of material litigation and environmental contingencies, refer to Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
Cash flow provided from operating activities was $258 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to cash flow used by operating activities of $(76) million for the comparable period of 2012. The $334 million year-over-year increase is primarily attributable a $259 million decrease in working capital outflow and a $25 million increase in cash dividends received from non-consolidated affiliates. The working capital improvement is attributable to a year-over-year accounts receivable improvement as extended credit offered to aftermarket customers reached a plateau at the end of 2012, along with additional favorable year-over-year improvements in inventory and accounts payable. Other factors contributing to the year-over-year increase were improved operating results and a reduced supplemental compensation payout during 2013 as compared to 2012.
Cash flow used by investing activities was $245 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $327 million for the comparable period of 2012. Capital expenditures of $270 million and $296 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were required to support future sales growth and productivity improvements. The Company purchased the spark plug business from BWA in September 2012 for $52 million.
Cash flow provided from financing activities was $491 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to cash flow used by financing activities of $(26) million for the comparable period of 2012. This $517 million increase in cash inflow was primarily due to a $500 million cash inflow associated with the Company's common stock rights offering in which approximately 51 million shares of the Company’s common stock was purchased during July 2013.
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.
Other Liquidity and Capital Resource Items
Federal-Mogul subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Amounts factored under these facilities consist of the following:
|
| | | | | | | |
| September 30 | | December 31 |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
| (Millions of Dollars) |
Gross accounts receivable factored | $ | 274 |
| | $ | 217 |

Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and expenses associated with the factoring of receivables are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |
| September 30 | | September 30 |
| 2013 | | 2012 | | 2013 | | 2012 |
| (Millions of Dollars) |
Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales | $ | 379 |

| | $ | 1,077 |
| | $ | 1,111 |
|
Expenses associated with factoring of receivables | (2 | ) | | (1 | ) | | (5 | ) | | (5 | ) |
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 September 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.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company derived 37% of its sales in the United States and 63% internationally. Of these international sales, 57% are denominated in the euro, with no other single currency representing more than 9%. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 would have decreased “Net income from continuing operations attributable to Federal-Mogul” by approximately $14 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 Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of September 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 Interim 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 Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 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 September 30, 2013, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated for disclosure, changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Note 14, that is included in Part I of this report, is incorporated herein by reference.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed 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) as supplemented and modified by the risk factors set forth in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
