NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
INTRODUCTION
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes present the condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets, and cash flows of PHINIA Inc. (“PHINIA” or the “Company”). PHINIA is a leader in the development, design and manufacture of integrated components and systems that optimize performance, increase efficiency and reduce emissions in combustion and hybrid propulsion for commercial vehicles and industrial applications (medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks, buses and other off-highway construction, marine, agricultural and industrial applications) and light vehicles (passenger cars, trucks, vans and sport-utility vehicles). The Company is a global supplier to most major original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) seeking to meet and exceed increasingly stringent global regulatory requirements and satisfy consumer demands for an enhanced user experience. Additionally, the Company offers a wide range of original equipment service (“OES”) solutions and remanufactured products as well as an expanded range of products for the independent (non-OEM) aftermarket.
Transition to Standalone Company
On December 6, 2022, BorgWarner Inc. (“BorgWarner,” or “Former Parent”) announced plans for the complete legal and structural separation of BorgWarner’s Fuel Systems and Aftermarket businesses from BorgWarner by the spin-off of its wholly-owned subsidiary, PHINIA, which was formed on February 9, 2023 (the “Spin-Off”).
On July 3, 2023, BorgWarner completed the Spin-Off in a transaction intended to qualify as tax-free to the Company’s stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which was accomplished by the distribution of the outstanding common stock of PHINIA to holders of record of common stock of BorgWarner on a pro rata basis. Each holder of record of common stock of BorgWarner received one share of PHINIA common stock for every five shares of common stock of BorgWarner held on June 23, 2023, the Record Date. In lieu of fractional shares of PHINIA, stockholders of the Company received cash. As a result of these transactions, all of the assets, liabilities, and legal entities comprising BorgWarner’s Fuel Systems and Aftermarket businesses are now owned directly, or indirectly through its subsidiaries, by PHINIA. PHINIA is an independent public company trading under the symbol “PHIN” on the New York Stock Exchange.
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Prior to the Spin-Off on July 3, 2023, the historical financial statements of PHINIA were prepared on a stand-alone combined basis and were derived from BorgWarner’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records as if the Fuel Systems and Aftermarket businesses of BorgWarner had been part of PHINIA for all periods presented. Accordingly, for periods prior to July 3, 2023, our financial statements are presented on a combined basis and for the periods subsequent to July 3, 2023 are presented on a consolidated basis (all periods hereinafter are referred to as “consolidated financial statements”). The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements were condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.
Certain amounts for the prior periods presented were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Amounts that were previously presented as Due from BorgWarner, current and Due from BorgWarner, non-current are now presented within Receivables, net and Investments and long-term
5
receivables, respectively. Amounts that were previously presented as Due to BorgWarner, current are now presented within Accounts payable and Other current liabilities. Amounts that were previously presented in Due to BorgWarner, non-current are now presented in Other non-current liabilities.
Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by those financial statements and accompanying notes. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would have been had it operated as a standalone company during the periods presented prior to the Spin-Off.
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Company, including costs for facilities, functions, and services utilized. Costs for certain centralized functions and programs provided and administered by BorgWarner were charged directly to the Company prior to Spin-Off. These centralized functions and programs included, but were not limited to research and development and information technology.
A portion of BorgWarner’s total corporate expenses were allocated to the Company for services rendered by BorgWarner prior to the Spin-Off. These expenses included the cost of corporate functions and resources, including, but not limited to, executive management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, research and development and sales. Additionally, a portion of the Company’s corporate expenses were allocated to BorgWarner for charges incurred related to subsidiaries of BorgWarner historically supported by the Company, primarily related to information technology. These expenses were allocated based on direct usage when identifiable or, when not directly identifiable, on the basis of proportional net revenues, legal entities, headcount or weighted-square footage, as applicable. The Company considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit received by, both the Company and BorgWarner during the periods presented. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred if the Company had been a standalone company for the periods presented prior to July 3, 2023. The nine months ended September 30, 2023 included net corporate allocation expenses incurred prior to the Spin-Off totaling $89 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 net corporate allocation expenses totaled $26 million and $95 million, respectively. Corporate allocation expenses were primarily included in Selling, general and administrative expenses.
NOTE 2 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Company manufactures and sells products, primarily to OEMs of commercial vehicle industrial applications and light vehicles, to certain tier one vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket. The Company’s payment terms are based on customary business practices and vary by customer type and products offered. The Company has evaluated the terms of its arrangements and determined that they do not contain significant financing components.
Generally, revenue is recognized upon shipment or delivery; however, a limited number of the Company’s customer arrangements for its highly customized products with no alternative use provide the Company with the right to payment during the production process. As a result, for these limited arrangements, revenue is recognized as goods are produced and control transfers to the customer using the input cost-to-cost method. The Company recorded a contract asset of $2 million at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for these arrangements. These amounts are reflected in Prepayments and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In limited instances, certain customers have provided payments in advance of receiving related products, typically at the onset of an arrangement prior to the beginning of production. These contract liabilities are reflected as Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $3 million
6
at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These amounts are reflected as revenue over the term of the arrangement (typically 3 to 7 years) as the underlying products are shipped and represent the Company’s remaining performance obligations as of the end of the period.
The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Refer to Note 21, “Reportable Segments And Related Information” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information.

NOTE 3 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company’s net research & development (“R&D”) expenditures are primarily included in Selling, general and administrative expenses of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross R&D expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Customer reimbursements for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on customer contracts, typically either when the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the customer. Customer reimbursements for engineering services are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the contract. Financial risks and rewards transfer upon shipment, acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or upon completion of the performance obligation as stated in the
7
respective customer agreement. The Company has various customer arrangements relating to R&D activities that it performs at its various R&D locations.
The following table presents the Company’s gross and net expenditures on R&D activities:

Related-party R&D income: The Company provided application testing and other R&D services for BorgWarner businesses prior to Spin-Off.
NOTE 5 RESTRUCTURING
The Company’s restructuring expenditures are primarily included in Other operating expense (income), net of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 business and to relocate operations to best-cost locations.
The Company’s restructuring expenses consist primarily of employee termination benefits (principally severance and/or other termination benefits) and other costs, which are primarily professional fees and costs related to equipment moves.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $4 million and $10 million, respectively, of restructuring costs for individually approved restructuring actions that primarily related to reductions in headcount in the Fuel Systems segment.
9
In 2019, the Company announced a restructuring plan to reshape and realign its global technical center footprint and reduce salaried and contract staff. The Company recorded charges of $8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily related to employee severance and equipment moves in the Fuel Systems segment. The actions under this program are complete.
Estimates of restructuring expense are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded. Accordingly, the Company may record revisions of previous estimates by adjusting previously established accruals.
The Company continues to evaluate different options across its operations to reduce existing structural costs. The Company will recognize restructuring expense associated with any future actions at the time they are approved and become probable or are incurred. Any future actions could result in significant restructuring expense.
NOTE 6 INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to domestic and foreign income. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 74% and 26%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased as compared to the prior year as a result of a change in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax earnings, most notably an increase in pre-tax losses where no tax benefit is recognized, as well as an increase in the estimated annual effective tax rate in the current quarter due to increases in the U.S. taxes on foreign earnings based on the post Spin-Off structure.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 48% and 26%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased as compared to the prior year as a result of a change in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax earnings, most notably an increase in pre-tax losses where no tax benefit is recognized. The estimated annual effective tax rate increased in the current quarter due to increases in the U.S. taxes on foreign earnings based on the post Spin-Off structure.
The annual effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates which vary from those in the U.S., jurisdictions with pretax losses for which no tax benefit could be realized, U.S. taxes on foreign earnings, and permanent differences between book and tax treatment for certain items including enhanced deduction of research and development expenses in certain jurisdictions.
For periods ended on or prior to July 3, 2023, the Company’s operations have been included in BorgWarner’s U.S. federal consolidated tax return, certain foreign tax returns, and certain state tax returns. For the purposes of these financial statements, the Company’s income tax provision was computed as if the Company filed separate tax returns (i.e., as if the Company had not been included in the consolidated income tax return group with BorgWarner). The separate return method applies ASC 740 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of each member of a consolidated tax group as if the group member were a separate taxpayer. As a result, actual tax transactions included in the consolidated financial statements of BorgWarner may not be included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Further, the Company’s tax results as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may not be reflective of the results that the Company expects to generate in the future. Also, the tax treatment of certain items reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may not be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements and tax returns of BorgWarner.

NOTE 9 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company assesses its goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units for impairment by either performing a qualitative assessment or a quantitative analysis. In addition, the Company may test goodwill in between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Similar to goodwill, the Company performs an annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangibles other than goodwill (trade names) using a qualitative analysis during the fourth quarter each year to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its respective carrying value. If the Company elects to perform or is required to perform a quantitative analysis, the test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to the
11
carrying value of the asset as of the impairment testing date. No events or circumstances were noted in the first nine months of 2023 requiring additional assessment or testing.
Future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates from those used in acquisition-related valuations and goodwill impairment testing, including discount rates or future operating results and related cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values in the future. An increase in discount rates, a reduction in projected cash flows or a combination of the two could lead to a reduction in the estimated fair values, which may result in impairment charges that could materially affect the Company’s financial statements in any given year.

NOTE 10 PRODUCT WARRANTY
The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, in certain cases, initial customer claims exceed the amount accrued. The Company’s warranty provisions are primarily included in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The product warranty accrual is allocated to current and non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured notes, Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility (each as defined below) totaled $753 million, which is $28 million higher than carrying value for the same period. As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes totaled $23 million, which was $3 million higher than carrying value for the same period. Fair market values of the long-term debt are developed using observable values for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820. The carrying values of the Company’s other debt facilities approximate fair value. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.
Credit Agreement
On July 3, 2023, the Company entered into a $1.225 billion Credit Agreement consisting of a $500 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), a $300 million Term Loan A Facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and a $425 million Term Loan B Facility (the “Term Loan B Facility”; together with the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, collectively, the “Facilities”) in correlation with the Spin-Off that
13
occurred on the same date. Subject to extension by the lenders, at their option, upon the Company’s request, the Facilities mature on July 3, 2028; provided, however, that if earlier, the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility will mature 91 calendar days prior to the scheduled maturity of the Term Loan B Facility or any refinancing or replacement thereof in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $100 million that is secured pari passu with the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility and matures on or prior to July 3, 2028.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at varying rates, depending on the type of loan and, in some cases, the rates of designated benchmarks and the Company’s related election. For borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Company may choose among the following interest rates: (i) solely in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated loans, an interest rate equal to the highest of (1) the prime rate in effect from time to time, (2) the federal funds effective rate in effect from time to time plus 0.5%, (3) adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (which includes a 0.10% credit spread adjustment to term SOFR) for a one month interest period plus 1.00%, and (4) 1.00%, in each case plus a rate (x) with respect to the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or (y) with respect to the Term Loan B Facility, 3.00%; or (ii) an interest rate equal to (1) solely in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated loans, adjusted term SOFR, (2) solely in the case of euro-denominated loans, Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), or (3) solely in the case of pound sterling-denominated loans, adjusted Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate (“SONIA”) (which includes a 0.0326% credit spread adjustment to SONIA), as applicable, in each case for the applicable interest period plus a rate (x) with respect to adjusted term SOFR for the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, EURIBOR and SONIA, ranging from 2.50% to 3.00% depending on our consolidated net leverage ratio, and (y) with respect to adjusted term SOFR for the Term Loan B Facility, 4.00%. Additionally, the Company will pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the actual daily amount of the available Revolving Facility commitment.
Proceeds of the Term Loan A Facility and the Term Loan B Facility were used only for certain payments in connection with the Spin-Off and the Credit Agreement. Proceeds of the Revolving Facility were used for certain payments in connection with the Spin-Off and the Credit Agreement and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $75 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants relating to us and our subsidiaries concerning, among other things, investments, dispositions of assets, indebtedness, liens on assets, and dividends and other distributions. Solely in respect of the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, the Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants requiring (i) the consolidated net leverage ratio of the Company, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter, not to exceed 3.00 to 1.00 (or, at our election and subject to certain conditions, 3.50 to 1.00 for the period in which such election is made and the next succeeding testing period and, thereafter, 3.25 to 1.00 for the next two succeeding testing periods) and (ii) the consolidated interest coverage ratio of the Company, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter, to be at least 3.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2023.

NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities 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.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC Topic 820:
A.Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.
15
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).
The following tables classify assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

NOTE 14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their book value approximates their fair value. The Company’s financial instruments may also include long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swaps, commodity derivative contracts and foreign currency derivative contracts. All derivative contracts are placed with counterparties that have an S&P, or equivalent, investment grade credit rating at the time of the contracts’ placement. An adjustment for non-performance risk is considered in the estimate of fair value in derivative assets based on the counterparty credit default swap (“CDS”) rate. When the Company is in a net derivative liability position, the non-performance risk adjustment is based on its CDS rate. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no derivative contracts that contained credit-risk-related contingent features.
The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to protect against exchange rate movements for forecasted cash flows, including capital expenditures, purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. In addition, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposure associated with its net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). Foreign currency derivative contracts require the Company, at a future date, to either buy or sell foreign currency in exchange for the operating units’ local currency.
16
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the United States dollar equivalent notional values of outstanding currency derivative instruments was $38 million and $309 million, respectively. These amounts were primary related to Euro and British Pound denominated hedging transactions.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the following amounts were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as being payable to or receivable from counterparties under ASC Topic 815:

Effectiveness for cash flow hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly, thereafter. Gains and losses arising from these contracts that are included in the assessment of effectiveness are deferred into accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are recognized. These realized gains or losses offset the hedged transaction and are recorded on the same line in the statement of operations. The initial value of any component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in income using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in income under that systematic and rational method are recognized in AOCI.
Effectiveness for net investment hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly, thereafter. Gains and losses arising from these contracts that are included in the assessment of effectiveness are deferred into foreign currency translation adjustments and only released when the subsidiary being hedged is sold or substantially liquidated. The initial value of any component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in income using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in income under that systematic and rational method is recognized in AOCI.
The table below shows deferred gains (losses) reported in AOCI as well as the amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less for designated net investment hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less assumes no change in the current relationship of the hedged item at September 30, 2023 market rates.

NOTE 18 CONTINGENCIES
In the course of its business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, governmental investigations and related proceedings, including relating to alleged or actual violations of vehicle emissions standards, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company’s management does not believe that adverse outcomes in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. An adverse outcome could, nonetheless, be material to the results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 19 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to the Spin-Off, BorgWarner ceased to be a related party to PHINIA and accordingly, no related party transactions or balances have been reported subsequent to July 3, 2023. In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a number of agreements with BorgWarner to govern the Spin-Off and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward, including a Transition Services Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, and certain Contract Manufacturing Agreements.
The following discussion summarizes activity between the Company and BorgWarner that occurred prior to the completion of the Spin-Off.
Allocation of General Corporate and Other Expenses
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include expenses for certain centralized functions and other programs provided and administered by BorgWarner that were charged directly to the Company prior to the Spin-Off. In addition, for purposes of preparing the financial statements on a carve-out basis, a portion of BorgWarner’s total corporate expenses was allocated to the Company. Similarly, certain centralized expenses incurred by the Company prior to the Spin-Off on behalf of subsidiaries of BorgWarner had been allocated to BorgWarner. See Note 1, “Basis Of Presentation,” for a discussion of the methodology used to allocate corporate expenses for purposes of preparing these financial statements on a carve-out basis for periods prior to July 3, 2023.
Net corporate allocation expenses in nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $89 million, all of which were incurred prior to the Spin-Off. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 net corporate allocation expenses totaled $26 million and $95 million, respectively. These expenses were primarily included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Related-Party Royalty Income and Related-Party R&D
The Company participated in royalty arrangements and provided applications testing and other R&D services to BorgWarner prior to the Spin-Off. See Note 4, “Other operating expense (income), net” for additional information.
22
Due from BorgWarner
In the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company presents $142 million within Accounts receivable and $208 million within Investments and long-term receivables as of December 31, 2022. These amounts were previously presented as Due from BorgWarner, current and Due from BorgWarner, non-current, respectively.
Due to BorgWarner
In the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company presents $186 million within Accounts payable and $99 million within Other current liabilities. These amounts were previously presented as Due to BorgWarner, current. In addition, the Company presents $957 within Other non-current liabilities as of December 31, 2022. These amounts were previously presented as Due to BorgWarner, non-current.
Net Transfers from (to) BorgWarner
Net transfers from (to) BorgWarner are included within Former parent investment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. The components of the transfers from (to) BorgWarner are as follows:

NOTE 20 EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting period.
For periods prior to July 3, 2023, the denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share was calculated using the 47.0 million PHINIA ordinary shares outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off. The same number of shares was used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share in those periods since no PHINIA equity awards were outstanding prior to the Spin-Off.
The dilutive impact of stock-based compensation is calculated using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the assumed proceeds from the exercise of
23
awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future and compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock:

NOTE 21 REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Company’s business is comprised of two reportable segments, which are further described below. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.
•Fuel Systems. This segment provides advanced fuel injection systems, fuel delivery modules, canisters, sensors, electronic control modules and associated software. Our highly engineered fuel injection systems portfolio includes pumps, injectors, fuel rail assemblies, engine control modules, and complete systems, including software and calibration services, that reduce emissions and improve fuel economy for traditional and hybrid applications.
•Aftermarket. Through this segment, the Company sells products to independent aftermarket customers and OES customers. Its product portfolio includes a wide range of products as well as maintenance, test equipment and vehicle diagnostics solutions. The Aftermarket segment also includes sales of starters and alternators to OEMs.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income (“AOI”) is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. Segment AOI is comprised of segment operating income adjusted for restructuring, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, intangible asset amortization expense, impairment charges, other net expenses and other items not reflective of ongoing operating income or loss. The Company believes Segment AOI is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of its reportable segments. Segment AOI excludes certain corporate costs, which primarily represent corporate expenses not directly attributable to the individual segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
INTRODUCTION
PHINIA is a leader in the development, design and manufacture of integrated components and systems that optimize performance, increase efficiency and reduce emissions in combustion and hybrid propulsion for commercial vehicles and industrial applications (medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks, buses and other off-highway construction, marine, agricultural and industrial applications) and light vehicles (passenger cars, trucks, vans and sport-utility vehicles). We are a global supplier to most major OEMs seeking to meet and exceed increasingly stringent global regulatory requirements and satisfy consumer demands for an enhanced user experience. Additionally, we offer a wide range of OES solutions and remanufactured products as well as an expanded range of products for the independent (non-OEM) aftermarket.
Transition to Standalone Company
On December 6, 2022, BorgWarner Inc. (“BorgWarner,” or “Former Parent”) announced plans for the complete legal and structural separation of BorgWarner’s Fuel Systems and Aftermarket businesses from BorgWarner by the spin-off of its wholly-owned subsidiary, PHINIA, which was formed on February 9, 2023 (the “Spin-Off”).
On July 3, 2023, BorgWarner completed the Spin-Off in a transaction intended to qualify as tax-free to the Company’s stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which was accomplished by the distribution of the outstanding common stock of PHINIA to holders of record of common stock of BorgWarner on a pro rata basis. Each holder of record of common stock of BorgWarner received one share of PHINIA common stock for every five shares of common stock of BorgWarner held on June 23, 2023, the Record Date. In lieu of fractional shares of PHINIA, stockholders of the Company received cash. As a result of these transactions, all of the assets, liabilities, and legal entities comprising BorgWarner’s Fuel Systems and Aftermarket businesses are now owned directly, or indirectly through its subsidiaries, by PHINIA. PHINIA is an independent public company trading under the symbol “PHIN” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Key Trends and Economic Factors
Commodities and Other Inflationary Impacts. Prices for commodities remain volatile, and since the beginning of 2021, the Company has experienced price increases for base metals (e.g., steel, aluminum and nickel) and precious metals (e.g., palladium). In addition, many global economies are experiencing elevated levels of inflation more generally, which is driving an increase in other input costs. As a result, the Company has experienced, and is continuing to experience, higher costs.
Outlook
The Company expects global industry production to be flat to a modest increase year over year in 2023. The Company also expects to see a continued ramp up of gasoline direct injection (“GDi”) volumes in North America from new programs. Recoveries from the Company’s customers of material cost inflation arising from non-contractual commercial negotiations with those customers are also expected to increase net sales year over year. These increases are expected to be partially offset by reduced demand from key commercial vehicle customers in China through the end of the year. As a result, the Company expects increased revenue in 2023, excluding the impact of foreign currencies.
On September 15, 2023, the UAW launched strikes against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis North America. In October, the UAW expanded the strike to include Mack Truck. Each of these entities are customers and have limited purchases of our products due to the halt of their production. There were no material impacts to our results during the third quarter of 2023. As of the date of this filing, certain automakers have reached a tentative deal with the UAW; however, if the strikes continue for a prolonged period, it could adversely affect our financial results. We will continue to monitor and assess the progress of negotiations between the UAW and the automakers.
28
The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its global business and is committed to new product development and strategic investments to enhance its product leadership strategy. There are several trends that are driving the Company’s long-term growth that management expects to continue, including recovery of the commercial vehicle market, increased overall vehicle parc driving that supports aftermarket demand, adoption of product offerings with hydrogen solutions for combustion vehicles to serve as a viable alternative to electrification or fuel cell solutions and increasingly stringent global emissions standards that support demand for the Company’s products driving efficiency and reduced emissions. In addition, we believe we are well positioned to continue to expand differentiated offerings in electronics, software and complete systems capabilities and to enhance shareholder value through the payment of dividends and opportunistic repurchases of the Company's stock.
Relationship with BorgWarner
Historically, we have relied on BorgWarner to provide various corporate functions. Following the Spin-Off, BorgWarner does not provide us with assistance other than the transition and other services described under “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions” in our Information Statement furnished with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10-12B/A filed on June 9, 2023. These services do not include every service that we have received from BorgWarner in the past, and BorgWarner is only obligated to provide the transition services for limited periods following completion of the Spin-Off. Following the Spin-Off and the cessation of any transition services agreements, we will need to provide internally, or obtain from unaffiliated third parties, the services we will no longer receive from BorgWarner. We may be unable to replace these services in a timely manner or on terms and conditions as favorable as those we receive from BorgWarner. The Company entered into several agreements with BorgWarner that govern the relationship between the parties following the Spin-Off and are described in our Form 8-K filed on July 7, 2023.
In connection with the Spin-Off, we have been installing and implementing information technology infrastructure to support certain of our business functions, including accounting and financial reporting, human resources, legal and compliance, communications, engineering, manufacturing and distribution, and sourcing. We may incur substantially higher costs than currently anticipated as we transition from the existing transactional and operational systems and data centers we currently use as part of BorgWarner. If we are unable to transition effectively, we may incur temporary interruptions in business operations. Any delay in implementing, or operational interruptions suffered while implementing, our new information technology infrastructure could disrupt our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Net sales
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $896 million, an increase of $37 million, or 4%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The change in net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the following:
•Sales increased $26 million related to certain contract manufacturing agreements with Former Parent that were entered into in connection with the Spin-Off. Sales from these agreements are expected to continue through 2024.
•Customer pricing increased net sales by approximately $18 million. This is primarily related to an increase in recoveries of cost inflation from the Company’s customers due to non-contractual commercial negotiations with those customers and normal contractual customer commodity pass-through arrangements.
•Fluctuations in foreign currencies resulted in a period-over-period increase in sales of approximately $13 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound and Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the Chinese Renminbi relative to the U.S. Dollar.
•Unfavorable volume and mix partially offset by net new business decreased sales approximately $20 million, or 2%. This decrease was primarily driven by lower commercial vehicle sales in China, partially offset by higher GDi sales in the Americas.
30
Cost of sales and gross profit
Cost of sales and cost of sales as a percentage of net sales were $719 million and 80%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $658 million and 77%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $61 million in cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the following:
•Cost of sales increased $26 million related to certain contract manufacturing agreements with Former Parent that were entered into in connection with the Spin-Off.
•Cost of sales was also impacted by higher supplier-related and inflationary costs of approximately $23 million arising primarily from $17 million non-contractual commercial negotiations with the Company’s suppliers and normal contractual supplier commodity pass-through arrangements. This impact was partially offset by $7 million of net supply chain savings initiatives.
•Fluctuations in foreign currencies resulted in a period-over-period increase in cost of sales of approximately $13 million primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound and Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the Chinese Renminbi relative to the U.S. Dollar.
•Lower sales volume and mix partially offset by net new business decreased cost of sales by approximately $8 million.
•Other manufacturing costs increased cost of sales by $14 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Gross profit and gross margin were $177 million and 20%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $201 million and 23%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the factors discussed above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $104 million as compared to $100 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 12% for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. SG&A was comprised of the following:
•Employee-related costs were $37 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $12 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily related to inflation and mandated minimum wage increases.
•Research and development (“R&D”) costs were $24 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, unchanged from the same period in 2022. This includes gross R&D expenditures of $45 million, comprised primarily of employee costs, offset by customer reimbursements of $21 million, which represent recovery of costs incurred.
•IT costs incurred directly by the Company were $9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $3 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
•Intangible amortization expense was $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, flat compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
•Other SG&A expenses were $27 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
•Former Parent allocations, which no longer exist after the Spin-Off, represent a decrease of $12 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Other operating expense (income), net
Other operating expense (income), net was expense of $15 million and income of $10 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Refer to Note 4, “Other operating expense (income), net,” for more information. Other operating expense (income), net was comprised of the following:
•For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, merger, acquisition and divestiture expenses, net were $13 million and $5 million, respectively, primarily related to professional fees associated with the Spin-Off.
•Restructuring expense was $4 million and $3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to individually approved restructuring actions that primarily related to reductions in headcount. The Company continues to evaluate different options across its operations to reduce existing structural costs. As we continue to assess our performance and the needs of our business, additional restructuring could be required and may have a significant cost.
•For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized royalty income related to licensing of the Delphi Technologies trade name and product-related intellectual properties to other BorgWarner businesses in the amount of $9 million. The royalty arrangements stopped after the Spin-Off was completed.
•For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income related to application testing and other R&D services for other BorgWarner businesses of $3 million. Refer to Note 19, "Related-Party Transactions," for further information. The services stopped after the Spin-Off was completed.
Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax
Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax was $2 million and $5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This line item is driven by the results of the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $22 million and $5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily related to the issuance of our Term Loan A and Term Loan B Facilities, as well as interest incurred on the drawdown of the Revolving Facility.
Interest income
Interest income was $4 million and $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Other postretirement income
Other postretirement income was de minimis and $8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in other postretirement income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher interest cost and lower expected returns on assets in 2023.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes was $31 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 resulting in an effective tax rate of 74%. This compared to $32 million, or 26%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of a change in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax earnings, most notably an increase in pre-tax losses where no tax benefit is recognized, as well as an
32
increase in the estimated annual effective tax rate in the current quarter due to increases in the U.S. taxes on foreign earnings based on the post Spin-Off structure.
For further details, see Note 6, “Income Taxes,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Non-comparable items impacting the Company’s earnings per diluted share
The Company’s earnings per diluted share were $0.24 and $1.89 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company believes the following table is useful in highlighting certain expenses that impacted its earnings per diluted share:

Results by Reportable Segment for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
The Company’s business is comprised of two reportable segments: Fuel Systems and Aftermarket.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income (“AOI”) is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. Segment AOI is comprised of segment operating income adjusted for restructuring, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, intangible asset amortization expense, impairment charges and other items not reflective of ongoing operating income or loss. The Company believes Segment AOI is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of its reportable segments.
Segment AOI excludes certain corporate costs, which primarily represent corporate expenses not directly attributable to the individual segments. Corporate expenses not allocated to Segment AOI were $19 million and $17 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in corporate expenses in 2023 was primarily related to a decrease in related-party royalty and R&D income from BorgWarner, which did not continue after completion of the Spin-Off, as well as additional costs resulting from operating as a stand-alone company.
The following table presents Net sales and Segment AOI for the Company’s reportable segments:
Three months ended September 30, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Totals | $ | 896 | $ | 101 | $ | 859 | $ | 132 |
The Fuel Systems segment’s net sales to customers for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $27 million, or 5%, and Segment Adjusted Operating Income decreased $29 million, or 35%, from the three months ended September 30, 2022. Foreign currencies resulted in a year-over-year
33
increase in sales of approximately $5 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound and Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the Chinese Renminbi relative to the U.S. Dollar. The increase excluding the impact of foreign currencies was primarily due to $26 million related to certain contract manufacturing agreements with BorgWarner and $17 million primarily from non-contractual commercial negotiations with the Company’s customers and normal contractual customer commodity pass-through arrangements. These were offset by approximately $21 million of volume, mix and net new business driven by decreased demand for the Company’s products compared to the prior year, primarily from lower commercial vehicle sales in China. Segment Adjusted Operating margin was 9.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 15.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Segment Adjusted Operating margin decrease was primarily due to higher inflationary costs and supplier-related costs.
The Aftermarket segment’s net sales to customers for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $10 million, or 3%, and Segment Adjusted Operating Income decreased $2 million, or 4%, from the three months ended September 30, 2022. Foreign currencies resulted in a year-over-year increase in sales of approximately $8 million primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound and Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the Chinese Renminbi relative to the U.S. Dollar. Segment Adjusted Operating margin was 13.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2023, comparable to 14.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Segment Adjusted Operating margin decrease was primarily driven by higher non-commodity inflationary costs during the period.

Net sales
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $2,618 million, an increase of $121 million, or 5%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change in net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the following:
•Customer pricing increased net sales by approximately $64 million. This includes an increase of approximately $41 million related to recoveries from the Company’s customers of cost inflation arising from non-contractual commercial negotiations with those customers and normal contractual customer commodity pass-through arrangements.
•Favorable volume, mix and net new business increased sales approximately $51 million, or 2%. This increase was primarily driven by higher demand for the Company’s products. This increase was partially offset by lower commercial vehicle sales in China.
•Sales increased $26 million related to certain contract manufacturing agreements with Former Parent that were entered into in connection with the Spin-Off. Sales from these agreements are expected to continue through 2024.
•Fluctuations in foreign currencies resulted in a year-over-year decrease in sales of approximately $20 million primarily due to the weakening of the Chinese Renminbi relative to the U.S. Dollar, slightly offset by the strengthening of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar.
Cost of sales and gross profit
Cost of sales and cost of sales as a percentage of net sales were $2,080 million and 79%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1,964 million and 79%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $116 million in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the following:
•Cost of sales was also impacted by higher supplier-related and inflationary costs of approximately $70 million arising primarily from $49 million from non-contractual commercial negotiations with the Company’s suppliers and normal contractual supplier commodity pass-through arrangements. This impact was partially offset by $31 million of net supply chain savings initiatives.
•Higher sales volume, mix and net new business increased cost of sales by approximately $62 million.
•Cost of sales increased $26 million related to certain contract manufacturing agreements with Former Parent that were entered into in connection with the Spin-Off.
•Fluctuations in foreign currencies resulted in a period-over-period decrease in cost of sales of approximately $10 million primarily due to the weakening of the Chinese Renminbi, partially offset by the strengthening of the Euro and British Pound relative to the U.S. Dollar.
Gross profit and gross margin were $538 million and 21%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $533 million and 21%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change in gross margin was primarily due to the factors discussed above.

•R&D costs were $81 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This includes gross R&D expenditures of $143 million, comprised primarily of employee costs, offset by customer
35
reimbursements of $62 million, which represent recovery of costs incurred. R&D costs increased $3 million, primarily related to a reduction in customer reimbursements. The Company’s current long-term expectation for R&D spending is approximately 3% of net sales.
•Employee-related costs were $99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $25 million, primarily related to incentive compensation, inflation and mandated minimum wage increases.
•General expense allocations from BorgWarner, which ended subsequent to the Spin-off, were $16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $23 million.
•IT costs incurred directly by the Company were $23 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $2 million.
•Intangible amortization expense was $21 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
•Other SG&A expenses, excluding employee costs and general expense allocations from BorgWarner, were $66 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $2 million.

•For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized royalty income related to licensing of the Delphi Technologies trade name and product-related intellectual properties to other BorgWarner businesses in the amount of $17 million and $22 million, respectively. These royalty arrangements have not continued subsequent to the completion of the Spin-Off.
Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax
Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax was $8 million in both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. This line item is driven by the results of the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $34 million and $14 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase from 2022 to 2023 was primarily due to new debt as part of the Spin-Off.
36
Interest income
Interest income was $9 million and $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase is primarily due to higher interest rates on higher cash and cash equivalents balances.
Other postretirement income
Other postretirement income was $1 million and $25 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in other postretirement income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher interest costs and lower expected returns on assets in 2023.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes was $75 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulting in an effective tax rate of 48%. This compared to $66 million, or 26%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of a change in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax earnings, most notably an increase in pre-tax losses where no tax benefit is recognized, as well as an increase in the estimated annual effective tax rate in the current quarter due to increases in the U.S. taxes on foreign earnings based on the post Spin-Off structure.

The Fuel Systems segment’s net sales to customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $76 million, or 5%, and Segment Adjusted Operating Income decreased $33 million, or 17%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Foreign currencies resulted in a period-over-period decrease in sales of approximately $23 million primarily due to the weakening of the Chinese Renminbi, partially offset by the strengthening of the Euro and British Pound relative to the U.S. Dollar. The increase excluding the impact of foreign currencies was primarily due to approximately $50 million from non-contractual commercial negotiations with the Company’s customers and normal contractual customer commodity pass-through arrangements, $26 million related to certain contract manufacturing agreements with BorgWarner, and approximately $23 million of volume, mix and net new business driven by higher weighted average market production compared to the prior year. Segment Adjusted Operating margin was 9.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 12.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Segment Adjusted Operating margin decrease was primarily due to product mix and higher supplier costs.

37
sales of approximately $3 million primarily due to the weakening Chinese Renminbi, partially offset by the strengthening of the Euro and British Pound relative to the U.S. Dollar. The increase excluding the impact of foreign currencies was primarily due to approximately $28 million of volume, mix and net new business driven by increased demand for the Company’s products and approximately $14 million of pricing. Segment Adjusted Operating margin was 14.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, comparable to the 14.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
To manage liquidity and fund operations prior to the Spin-Off, we participated in BorgWarner’s cash pooling arrangements and BorgWarner has participated in our cash pooling arrangements. Any balances owed to the Company from BorgWarner as a result of these cash arrangements that were anticipated to be settled in cash were reflected as Receivables, net and Investments and long-term receivables. Any balances due from the Company to BorgWarner as a result of these cash arrangements that were anticipated to be settled in cash were reflected as Other non-current liabilities. Certain other cash pooling balances that were not anticipated to be settled in cash are presented within Former parent investment in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
We utilize certain arrangements with various financial institutions to sell eligible trade receivables from certain customers in North America and Europe. We may terminate any or all of these arrangements at any time subject to prior written notice. While we do not depend on these arrangements for our liquidity, if we elected to terminate these arrangements, there would be a one-time unfavorable timing impact on the collection of the outstanding receivables.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $367 million and $251 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively, of which $342 million and $247 million, respectively, was held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States. We believe our existing cash and cash flows generated from operations and indebtedness incurred in conjunction with the Spin-Off discussed below will be responsive to the needs of our current and planned operations for at least the next 12 months.
Credit Agreement
On July 3, 2023, the Company entered into a $1.225 billion Credit Agreement consisting of a $500 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), a $300 million term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and a $425 million term loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility”; together with the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, collectively, the “Facilities”) in correlation with the Spin-Off that occurred on the same date.
38
Proceeds of the Term Loan A Facility and the Term Loan B Facility were used only for certain payments in connection with the Spin-Off and the Credit Agreement. Proceeds of the Revolving Facility were used for certain payments in connection with the Spin-Off and the Credit Agreement and will be for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of the date hereof, $75 million is outstanding under the Revolving Facility, $300 million is outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and $425 million is outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility, totaling $800 million aggregate principal outstanding under the Facilities.
Refer to Note 11. “Notes Payable And Debt” for further information on our Credit Agreement.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $188 million and $122 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was due to working capital changes, including amounts due to the Former Parent, offset by lower net earnings.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $117 million and $80 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily related to capital expenditures. As a percentage of sales, capital expenditures were 4.5% and 3.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $50 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to proceeds from external borrowings, offset by payments to the Former Parent, stock repurchases and dividend payments to PHINIA stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies and estimates disclosures appear in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates,” in the Company’s Information Statement furnished with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10-12B/A filed on June 9, 2023. There were no material changes to this information during the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk appear in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the Company’s Information Statement furnished with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10-12B/A filed on June 9, 2023. There were no material changes to this information during the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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 management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
39
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim condensed financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which remains outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The Company did not design and maintain effective controls over the determination and review of the calculation of cumulative translation adjustment in the Company’s condensed financial statements prepared on a carve-out basis. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” to the Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the methodology used to prepare the financial statements on a carve-out basis. This material weakness resulted in material adjustments to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and Parent company investment at December 31, 2021 and Other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of which were recorded prior to the issuance of the combined financial statements. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of those account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim condensed combined financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan
During 2023, the Company has taken steps to enhance our internal control over financial reporting in response to the material weakness.
