During the
six
months ended

, the Company recognized a
$4 million
benefit on settlement of litigation matters with the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer (“former CEO”) as further described in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
Effective January 1, 2018 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update Topic (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, the impact of applying the standard is recognized as a cumulative effect on retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Certain of the Company’s nonpublic unconsolidated joint ventures have not yet adopted Topic 606 and therefore the Company’s share of earnings as report in equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates continues to be reported under historical revenue accounting standards. The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 606 by its nonpublic non-consolidated affiliates on January 1, 2019 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position. For additional information, refer to Note 17 "Revenue Recognition" to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments." The ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions were classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis on January 1, 2018 and accordingly, previously issued operating cash flows decreased by
$1 million
and cash flows from financing activities increased by
$1 million
for the
six
months ending
June 30, 2017
.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash," requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Retrospective application is required. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis on January 1, 2018 and accordingly, included restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost." The ASU requires entities to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Entities will present the other components separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, and disclose the line(s) used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if the components are not presented separately in the income statement. The standard will be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the components of pension financing costs in the income statement, and prospectively for the guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company previously recorded service cost with other compensation costs (benefits) in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Adoption of the standard results in the reclassification of other compensation costs (benefits) in other income, net. The Company's retrospective adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 resulted in a
$1 million
and
$3 million
increase to cost of sales, and a
$1 million
and
$2 million
increase to selling, general and administrative expenses, with a corresponding
$2 million
and
$5 million
increase in other income, net, with no impact to net income for the
three and six
month periods ending
June 30, 2017
.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." The ASU amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements, provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. The new guidance will allow companies to make certain changes to awards without accounting for them as modifications. It does not change the accounting for modifications. The new guidance will be applied prospectively to awards changed on or after the adoption date. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
7
Effective January 1, 2018 the Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" which was created to better align accounting rules with a company’s risk management activities to reflect the economic results of hedging in the financial statements and simplify hedge accounting treatment. The modified retrospective adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. For additional information, refer to Note 15 "Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments" to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The guidance requires that for most financial assets, losses be based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect application of this accounting standards update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The amendments in Topic 842 supersede current lease requirements in Topic 840 which require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the financial statements and disclosures, internal controls and accounting policies. This evaluation process includes reviewing all forms of leases and performing a completeness assessment over the lease population. The company has analyzed the practical expedients to determine the best path for applying the leasing standard and elected all available practical expedients, except for the hindsight expedient, which allows the use of hindsight in determining the lease term. The Company completed its system implementation evaluation during the second quarter of 2018, and concluded that a third party supported lease accounting information system solution will be implemented to account for the Company's leases. The Company has launched a project to implement this system, establish a new lease accounting process and design related internal controls.
While the Company's evaluation is ongoing, the impact on existing processes, controls, information systems and the consolidated financial statements is expected to be material.
NOTE 3. Discontinued Operations
The Company completed the sale of the majority of its global Climate business (the "Climate Transaction") during 2015 and completed the divestiture of its global Interiors business in 2016 (the "Interiors Divestiture"). These transactions met the conditions required to qualify for discontinued operations reporting and accordingly the settlement of retained contingencies have been classified in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
.
Discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company completed the repurchase of the electronics operations located in India during the first quarter of 2017 for
$47 million
, recognizing a
$7 million
gain on settlement of purchase commitment contingencies. The Company had previously consolidated the India operations based on the Company's controlling financial interest as a result of the repurchase obligation, operating control, and the obligation to fund losses or benefit from earnings.
NOTE 4. Non-Consolidated Affiliates
Non-Consolidated Affiliate Transaction
s
During the first quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale of its
50%
interest in an equity method investment for proceeds of
$7 million
, consistent with its carrying value. Additionally, the Company sold a cost method investment for proceeds of approximately
$3 million
and recorded a pretax loss of
$1 million
, classified as "other income, net."
During the second quarter of 2017, the Company sold a cost method investment for proceeds of approximately

. The Company recorded a pretax gain of
$3 million
classified as "other income, net."
Variable Interest Entities
The Company determines whether joint ventures in which it has invested are Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Visteon and Yangfeng Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. ("YF") each own
50%
of a joint venture under the name of Yanfeng Visteon Investment Co., Ltd. ("YFVIC"). In October 2014, YFVIC completed the purchase of YF’s
49%
direct ownership in Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd ("YFVE") a consolidated joint venture of the Company. The purchase by YFVIC was financed through a shareholder loan from YF and external borrowings which were guaranteed by Visteon, of which
$12 million
is outstanding as of
June 30, 2018
. The guarantee contains standard non-payment provisions to cover the borrowers in event of non-payment of principal, accrued interest, and other fees, and the loan is expected to be fully paid by September 2019.
The Company determined that YFVIC is a VIE. The Company holds a variable interest in YFVIC primarily related to its ownership interests and subordinated financial support. The Company and YF each own
50%
of YFVIC and neither entity has the power to control the operations of YFVIC; therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of YFVIC and does not consolidate the joint venture.
A summary of the Company's investments in YFVIC is provided below.

NOTE 5. Restructuring Activities
Given the economically-sensitive and highly competitive nature of the automotive electronics industry, the Company continues to closely monitor current market factors and industry trends, taking action as necessary which may include restructuring actions. However, there can be no assurance that any such actions will be sufficient to fully offset the impact of adverse factors on the Company or its results of operations, financial position and cash flows. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded
$5 million
and
$11 million
of restructuring expenses, including discontinued operations, net of reversals, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded approximately
$3 million
of restructuring expenses related to severance and termination benefits associated with legacy employees at a South America facility.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded
$2 million
of restructuring expenses related to severance and termination benefits associated with employees at North America manufacturing facilities due to the wind-down of certain products.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting engineering and administrative functions, associated with approximately
250
employees to further align the Company's engineering and related administrative footprint with its core product technologies and customers. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded approximately less than
$1 million
and
$5 million
of restructuring expenses, respectively under this program, and
$5 million
remains accrued for the program as of June 30, 2018. Through June 30, 2018, the Company has recorded approximately
$45 million

Restructuring Reserves
Restructuring reserve balances of
$13 million
and
$24 million
as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, are classified as "Other current liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company receives bank notes from certain of its customers in China to settle trade accounts receivable. The Company may hold such bank notes until maturity, exchange them with suppliers to settle liabilities, or sell them to third party financial institutions in exchange for cash. The Company has entered into arrangements with financial institutions to sell certain bank notes, generally maturing within nine months. Notes are sold with recourse, but qualify as a sale as all rights to the notes have passed to the financial institution. The Company sold
$14 million
during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
to financial institutions,
$5 million
of which remains outstanding and will
mature no later than the fourth quarter of

The Company recorded approximately
$3 million
and
$7 million
of amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, respectively. The Company currently estimates annual amortization expense to be
$16 million
for both
2018
and
2019
,
$13 million
for
2020
, and
$11 million
for years
2021
and
2022
. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually, or earlier when events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that such assets have been impaired. There were no indicators of impairment during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company contributed
$2 million
to American Center for Mobility, a non-profit state of the art research and development facility. The contribution provides the Company certain rights regarding access to the facility for three years. The Company will use the facility for autonomous driving research and development activities for multiple products and therefore capitalized the contribution as an intangible asset. The Company will make a second contribution of
$2 million
during the third quarter of 2018. The asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
36
month period beginning in January 2018.

Short-Term Debt
Short-term borrowings are primarily related to the Company's non-U.S. affiliates and joint ventures and are payable in U.S. Dollar, Chinese Renminbi and India Rupee. Available borrowings on outstanding affiliate credit facilities as of
June 30, 2018
, are approximately
$27 million
and certain of these facilities have pledged assets as security.
Long-Term Debt
As of
December 31, 2017
, the Company had a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which includes a
$350 million
Term Facility maturing on March 24, 2024 and a Revolving Credit Facility with a capacity of
$300 million
, which matures on March 24, 2022.
On May 30, 2018, the Company entered into a fourth amendment of its Credit Agreement to reduce the applicable margin on Eurodollar Rate loans. At the Company’s option, the Term Facility under the amended Credit Agreement interest shall accrue at a rate equal to the applicable annualized domestic rate plus an applicable margin of
0.75%
or the LIBOR-based rate plus an applicable margin of
1.75%
per annum.
The Company is required to pay accrued interest on any outstanding principal balance under the credit facility with a frequency of the lesser of the LIBOR tenor or every three months. Any outstanding principal under this facility will be due upon the maturity date. The Company may also terminate or reduce the borrowing commitments under this facility, in whole or in part, upon three business days’ notice.
Loans drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at an annualized rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from
1.25%
to
2.25%
as specified by a ratings grid contained in the Credit Agreement. Based on the Company’s current credit ratings, borrowings would accrue interest at LIBOR plus
1.75%
per annum. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides
$75 million
availability for the issuance of letters of credit and a maximum of
$20 million
for swing line borrowing. Any amount of the facility utilized for letters of credit or swing line loans outstanding will reduce the amount available under the amended Revolving Credit Facility.
The Company may request increases in the limits under the amended Term Facility and the amended Revolving Credit Facility and may request the addition of one or more term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding borrowings may be prepaid without penalty (other than borrowings made for the purpose of reducing the effective interest rate margin or weighted average yield of the loans). There are mandatory prepayments of principal in connection with: (i) excess cash flow sweeps above certain leverage thresholds, (ii) certain asset sales or other dispositions, (iii) certain refinancing of indebtedness and (iv) over-advances under the Revolving Credit Facility. There are no excess cash flow sweeps required at the Company’s current leverage level.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants, and contains customary events of default. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a total net leverage ratio no greater than
3.00
:
1.00
. During any period when the Company’s corporate and family ratings meet investment grade ratings, certain of the negative covenants will be suspended. As of
June 30, 2018
, the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants.
As of June 30, 2018, the outstanding aggregate principal borrowing under the amended Term Facility is
$350 million
and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Other
The Company has a
$5 million
letter of credit facility, whereby the Company is required to maintain a collateral account equal to
103%
of the aggregate stated amount of issued letters of credit and must reimburse any amounts drawn under issued letters of credit. The Company had
$2 million
of outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility secured by restricted cash, as of
June 30, 2018
. Additionally, the Company had
$16 million
of locally issued letters of credit with less than
$1 million
of collateral as of
June 30, 2018
, to support various tax appeals, customs arrangements and other obligations at its local affiliates.

The Company previously recorded service cost with other components of net pension income (expense) in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Adoption of ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)," resulted in the reclassification of pension financing benefit (cost) into "other income, net. "
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash contributions to the Company's defined benefit plans were less than
$1 million
for the U.S. plans and
$3 million
for the non-U.S. plans. The Company estimates that cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans will be
$7 million
in 2018.
NOTE 12. Income Taxes
During the
three and six
month periods ended
June 30, 2018
, the Company recorded a provision for income tax on continuing operations of
$12 million
and
$33 million
, respectively, which reflects income tax expense in countries where the Company is profitable; accrued withholding taxes; ongoing assessments related to the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax benefits; the inability to record a tax benefit for pretax losses and/or recognize expense for pretax income in certain jurisdictions (including the U.S.) due to valuation allowances; and other non-recurring tax items. Pretax losses from continuing operations in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are maintained and no income tax benefits are recognized totaled
$8 million
and
$9 million
for the
six
month periods ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively, resulting in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate in those years.
15
The reduction of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from
35%
to
21%
under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) enacted in December 2017, did not have a significant impact to income tax expense for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
due to the U.S. valuation allowance. The Company ’s income tax expense reflects the estimated impacts of other provisions of the Act including the global minimum income tax and base erosion tax provisions related to offshore activities and affiliated party payments neither of which had a significant impact to income tax expense for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
.
The Company provides for U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the projected future repatriations of the earnings from its non-U.S. operations that are not considered permanently reinvested at each tier of the legal entity structure. During the
six
month periods ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, the Company recognized expense primarily related to non-U.S. withholding taxes, including exchange impacts, of
$4 million
in both years, reflecting the Company's forecasts which contemplate numerous financial and operational considerations that impact future repatriations.
The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against income before income taxes, excluding equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the period. Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate calculations are performed for those countries where the Company's operations are profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax valuation allowances exist and are maintained. In determining the estimated annual effective tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including but not limited to, forecasts of projected annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the pretax income and/or pretax losses will be generated and available tax planning strategies. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate is updated each quarter and may be significantly impacted by changes to the mix of forecasted earnings by tax jurisdiction. The tax impact of adjustments to the estimated annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period such estimates are revised. The Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain other non-recurring tax items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, and changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur, rather than include them in the estimated annual effective tax rate.
The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will cause variability in the Company’s quarterly and annual effective tax rates. Full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them. The factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to, recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial reporting losses, in particular, when there is a cumulative loss incurred over a three-year period. In regards to the full valuation allowance recorded against the U.S. net deferred tax assets, the cumulative U.S. pretax book loss adjusted for significant permanent items incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2017 limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s plans to improve U.S. profits, and as such, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets. Based on the Company’s current assessment, it is possible that within the next 6 to 18 months, the existing valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets could be partially released. Any such release is dependent upon the sustained improvement in U.S. operating results, and, if such a release of the valuation allowance were to occur, it could have a significant impact on net income in the quarter in which it is deemed appropriate to partially release the reserve.
Due to the timing of the Act and the substantial changes it brings, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), which provides registrants a measurement period to report the impact of the new U.S. tax law. During the measurement period, provisional amounts for the effects of the law are recorded to the extent a reasonable estimate can be made. To the extent that all information necessary is not available, prepared or analyzed, companies may recognize provisional estimated amounts for a period of up to one year following enactment of the Act.
For year-end 2017, the Company recorded provisional amounts for impacts of the Act in accordance with the guidance as of the date of the year-end filing, including the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, gross foreign tax credit carryforwards, the remeasurement of deferred taxes, and related valuation allowances. The Company will continue to refine provisional amounts surrounding the remeasurement of deferred taxes and information related to unremitted earnings from foreign affiliates to more precisely analyze and compute the remeasurement of deferred taxes and the impact of the transition tax under the Act, as well as other provisions of the Act, such as the global minimum income tax and base erosion tax provisions related to offshore activities and affiliated party payments, as more information and further guidance become available.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Gross unrecognized tax benefits as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, including amounts attributable to discontinued operations, were
$18 million
in both years. Of these amounts approximately
$11 million
and
$9 million
as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefit differs from that which would impact the effective tax rate due to uncertain tax positions embedded in other deferred tax attributes carrying a full valuation allowance. If the uncertainty is resolved while a full valuation allowance is maintained, these uncertain tax positions should not impact the effective tax rate in current or future periods. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and related amounts accrued at
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
was
$2 million
and
$3 million
, respectively.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2014, or state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2003, although U.S. net operating losses carried forward into open tax years technically remain open to adjustment. During the first quarter of 2018, the IRS informed the Company that the 2016 tax year would be added to the ongoing examination of the Company’s U.S. tax returns for 2014 and 2015. Although it is not possible to predict the timing of the resolution of all ongoing tax audits with accuracy, it is reasonably possible that certain tax proceedings in Europe, Asia and Mexico could conclude within the next twelve months and result in a significant increase or decrease in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits. The long-term portion of uncertain income tax positions (including interest) in the amount of
$11 million
is included in "Other non-current liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet, while the current portion in the amount of
$2 million
, is included in "Other current liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet.
During 2012, Brazil tax authorities issued tax assessment notices to Visteon Sistemas Automotivos (“Sistemas”) related to the sale of its chassis business to a third party, which required a deposit in the amount of
$15 million
during 2013 necessary to open a judicial proceeding against the government in order to suspend the debt and allow Sistemas to operate regularly before the tax authorities after attempts to reopen an appeal of the administrative decision failed. Adjusted for currency impacts and accrued interest, the deposit amount is approximately
$14 million
, as of
June 30, 2018
. The Company believes that the risk of a negative outcome is remote once the matter is fully litigated at the highest judicial level. These appeal payments, as well as income tax refund claims associated with other jurisdictions, total
$17 million
as of
June 30, 2018
, and are included in "Other non-current assets" on the consolidated balance sheet.

Stock-based Compensation, net
On June 7, 2018, the Company modified the accounting for certain cash settled stock-based compensation Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") for non-employee directors of the Company. These awards, previously subject to liability accounting, are now expected to settle in stock. The liability of
$6 million
related to these awards has been reclassified to shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2018 and will be subject to equity method accounting going forward.
18
During the
six
months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized a
$10 million
benefit on forfeiture of unvested shares due to the settlement of a litigation matter as further described in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies.
Share Repurchase Program
On January 9, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors authorized

NOTE 14. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Visteon by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Performance based share units are considered contingently issuable shares, and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period and if the result would be dilutive.

NOTE 15. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
|
•
|
Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
|
|
•
|
Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
|
|
•
|
Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
|
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets include long-lived assets, intangible assets and investments in affiliates, which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no items measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Items Not Carried at Fair Value
The Company's fair value of debt was approximately
$380 million
and
$401 million
as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively. Fair value estimates were based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Accordingly, the Company's debt fair value disclosures are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy.
21
The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in currency exchange rates and market interest rates. The Company manages these risks, in part, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges the variability in the future cash flows related to transactions, excluding those transactions as related to the payment of variable interest on existing debt, is eighteen months. The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges forecasted transactions related to variable interest payments is the term of the underlying debt. The use of financial derivative instruments may pose risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by the transaction counter-party.
The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. Derivative financial instruments designated and non-designated as hedging instruments are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. There is no cash collateral on any of these derivatives.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Foreign currency hedge instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under an income approach using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying and non-performance risk. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Accordingly, the Company's foreign currency instruments are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy.
Interest rate swaps are valued under an income approach using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying and non-performance risk. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, and can be derived from observable data or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Accordingly, the Company's interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign Exchange Risk:
The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends and investments in subsidiaries. The Company primarily uses foreign currency derivative instruments, including forward and option contracts, to mitigate the variability of the value of cash flows denominated in currency other than the hedging entity's functional currency. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed periodically and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company’s current hedged foreign currency exposures include the Euro, Japanese Yen, Thailand Baht and Mexican Peso.
As of
June 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
, the Company had foreign currency derivative instruments with aggregate notional value of approximately
$111 million
and
$119 million
, respectively. At
June 30, 2018
, approximately
$90 million
of the hedge instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the total change in fair value of the transactions are initially recognized in other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders' equity, if considered highly effective. Upon settlement of the transactions, the accumulated gains and losses are reclassified to income in the same periods during which the hedged cash flows impact earnings. The fair value of these derivatives is
an asset
of
$1 million
and
a liability
of
$2 million
, as of
June 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
, respectively. The difference between the gross and net value of these derivatives after offset by counter party is not material. The estimated AOCI that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is an approximate gain of
$1 million
. The terms of the hedges do not exceed 18 months.
At December 31, 2017, the Company had cross currency swaps to mitigate the variability of the value of the Company's investment in certain European subsidiaries with an aggregate notional value of
$150 million
, designated as net investment hedges under the forward rate method of effectiveness assessment. The aggregate fair value was a non-current liability of
$23 million
at December 31, 2017.
In connection with the Company's early adoption of ASU 2017-12, on March 29, 2018 the Company re-designated the hedging relationships of its existing cross currency swaps. The cross currency swaps continued to be designated as net investment hedges of certain of the Company's European affiliates. Concurrent with its adoption of the new standard, the Company elected to change the method of hedge effectiveness to the spot rate method. Accordingly, periodic changes in the fair value of the cross currency swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income, as a component of shareholders' equity, if highly effective.
On May 30, 2018, concurrent with the fourth amendment of its Credit Agreement, the Company elected to de-designate its net investment hedge relationships and modify its existing cross currency swaps to more closely align with certain terms of the amended
22
facility. The amended swaps were then designated as new net investment hedging relationships of the Company's investments in certain European affiliates. Additionally, the Company executed an incremental
$50 million
in notional value of cross currency swaps, which were designated as net investment hedges of certain of its European affiliates. At
June 30, 2018
, the Company had cross currency swaps with an aggregate notional value of
$200 million
designated as net investment hedges.
The Company will continue to assess the net investment hedge transactions under the spot rate method. The aggregate fair value of the Company's
$200 million
notional value of cross currency swaps designated as net investment hedges was a non-current
liability
of
$22 million
as of
June 30, 2018
. The value of the off-market excluded component is approximately a loss of
$3 million
as of
June 30, 2018
, which will be amortized into earnings on a straight-line basis through expiration of the swaps in August 2022.
Interest Rate Risk:
The Company is subject to interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate debt. The Company uses financial derivative instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with its risk management policies.
At December 31, 2017, the Company had an aggregate notional value of
$150 million
of interest rate swaps intended to mitigate the variability of interest expense related to the floating rate debt under the Term Facility. On May 30, 2018, concurrent with the amendment of its Term Facility, the Company terminated the interest rate swaps and received
$4 million
of proceeds upon settlement. Simultaneously, the Company executed new interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of
$200 million
to effectively convert designated floating rate interest payments to fixed cash flows. The maturities of these swaps do not exceed the underlying obligations under the amended Term Facility. The instruments are designated as cash flow hedges, accordingly, the effective portion of the periodic changes in the fair value of the swap transactions is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders' equity. Subsequently, the accumulated gains and losses recorded in equity are reclassified to income in the period during which the hedged cash flow impacts earnings. As of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, the fair value of the derivative was
an asset
of less than
$1 million
and
$1 million
, respectively. AOCI expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is a gain of
$1 million
.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments including cash equivalents, derivative contracts, and accounts receivable, expose the Company to counter-party credit risk for non-performance. The Company’s counterparties for cash equivalents and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company’s credit rating requirements. The Company’s counterparties for derivative contracts are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counter-party and through monitoring counter-party credit risks.
The Company's credit risk with any individual customer does not exceed ten percent of total accounts receivable except for Ford and its affiliates which represent
25%
and
28%
, Mazda which represents
18%
and
17%
and Renault/Nissan which represents
13%
and
14%
, of the balance as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively.

NOTE 16. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Claims
In 2003, the Local Development Finance Authority of the Charter Township of Van Buren, Michigan (the “Township”) issued, approximately
$28 million
in bonds finally maturing in 2032, the proceeds of which were used at least in part to assist in the development of the Company’s U.S. headquarters located in the Township. During January 2010, the Company and the Township entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that, among other things, reduced the taxable value of the headquarters property to current market value and facilitated certain claims of the Township in the Company’s chapter 11 proceedings. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the Company would negotiate in good faith with the Township in the event that property tax payments was inadequate to permit the Township to meet its payment obligations with respect to the bonds. In September 2013, the Township notified the Company in writing that it is estimating a shortfall in tax revenues of between
$25 million
and
$36 million
, which could render it unable to satisfy its payment obligations under the bonds. On May 12, 2015, the Township commenced a proceeding against the Company in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in connection with the foregoing. Upon the Company’s motion to dismiss, the Township dismissed the proceeding before the Delaware Bankruptcy Court and re-commenced the proceeding against the Company in the Michigan Wayne County Circuit Court for the State of Michigan on July 2, 2015. The Township sought damages or, alternatively, declaratory judgment that, among other things, the Company is responsible under the Settlement Agreement for payment of any shortfall in the bond debt service payments. On February 2, 2016, the Wayne County Circuit Court dismissed the Township’s lawsuit without prejudice on the basis that the Township’s claims were not ripe for adjudication. The Township appealed the decision to the Michigan Court of Appeals, which affirmed the dismissal of the Township’s lawsuit. The Township has sought leave to appeal from the Michigan Supreme Court. On May 11, 2018, the Supreme Court directed supplemental briefing and oral argument “on whether to grant the application or take other action.” The Township filed its supplemental brief on June 22, 2018, and Visteon filed its brief on July 13, 2018. It is anticipated that oral argument will take place in either late 2018, or early 2019. The Company disputes the factual and legal assertions made by the Township and intends to vigorously defend the matter. The Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter.
The dispute between the Company and its former President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy D. Leuliette, was resolved in the first quarter of 2018. Pursuant to the resolution, the Company recognized
$17 million
of pre-tax income, representing the forfeiture of stock based awards and release of other liabilities accrued during prior periods. The benefit is classified as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses of
$10 million
, a benefit to other income, net of
$4 million
, and a benefit to discontinued operations of
$3 million
.
In November 2013, the Company and Halla Visteon Climate Control Corporation (“HVCC”), jointly filed an Initial Notice of Voluntary Self-Disclosure statement with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regarding certain sales of automotive HVAC components by a minority-owned, Chinese joint venture of HVCC into Iran. The Company updated that notice in December 2013, and subsequently filed a voluntary self-disclosure regarding these sales with OFAC in March 2014. In May 2014, the Company voluntarily filed a supplementary self-disclosure identifying additional sales of automotive HVAC components by the Chinese joint venture, as well as similar sales involving an HVCC subsidiary in China, totaling approximately
$12 million
, and filed a final voluntary-self disclosure with OFAC on October 17, 2014. OFAC is currently reviewing the results of the Company’s investigation. Following that review, OFAC may conclude that the disclosed sales resulted in violations of U.S. economic sanctions laws and warrant the imposition of civil penalties, such as fines, limitations on the Company's ability to export products from the United States, and/or referral for further investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. Any such fines or restrictions may be material to the Company’s financial results in the period in which they are imposed, but is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter. Additionally, disclosure of this conduct and any fines or other action relating to this conduct could harm the Company’s reputation and have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. The Company cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its own review of voluntary self-disclosures or whether it may impose any of the potential penalties described above.
The Company's operations in Brazil and Argentina are subject to highly complex labor, tax, customs and other laws. While the Company believes that it is in compliance with such laws, it is periodically engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws. As of
June 30, 2018
, the Company maintained accruals of approximately
$15 million
and
$3 million
for claims aggregating approximately
$117 million
and
$3 million
in Brazil and Argentina, respectively. The amounts accrued represent claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the Company's assessment of the claims and prior experience with similar matters.
While the Company believes its accruals for litigation and claims are adequate, the final amounts required to resolve such matters could differ materially from recorded estimates and the Company's results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
25
Guarantees and Commitments
The Company has provided a
$12 million
loan guarantee to YFVIC. The guarantee contains standard non-payment provisions to cover the borrowers in event of non-payment of principal, accrued interest, and other fees, and the loan is expected to be fully paid by September 2019.
As part of the agreements of the Climate Transaction and Interiors Divestiture, the Company continues to provide lease guarantees to divested Climate and Interiors entities. As of
June 30, 2018
, the Company has approximately
$5 million
and
$3 million
of outstanding guarantees, related to the divested Climate and Interiors entities, respectively. These guarantees will generally cease upon expiration of current lease agreements.
Product Warranty and Recall
Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts that will ultimately be required to settle such items. The Company’s estimates for product warranty and recall obligations are developed with support from its sales, engineering, quality and legal functions and include due consideration of contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims and related information, production changes, industry and regulatory developments and various other considerations. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers. Specific cause actions represent customer actions related to defective supplier parts and related software.

Other Contingent Matters
Various legal actions, governmental investigations and proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company, including those arising out of alleged defects in the Company’s products; governmental regulations relating to safety; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; product warranties; product recalls; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing matters may involve compensatory, punitive or antitrust or other treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, or other relief which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The Company enters into agreements that contain indemnification provisions in the normal course of business for which the risks are considered nominal and impracticable to estimate.
Contingencies are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Reserves have been established by the Company for matters discussed in the immediately foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of amounts, that cannot be estimated as of
June 30, 2018
and that are in excess of established reserves. The Company does not reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, based on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible.

The Company generates revenue from the production of automotive vehicle cockpit electronics parts sold to OEM’s, or Tier 1 suppliers at the direction of the OEM, under long term supply agreements supporting new vehicle production. Such agreements may also require related production for service parts, subsequent to initial vehicle production periods.
In connection with the sale of electronics parts, the Company is subject to typical assurance warranty obligations that only cover the compliance of the electronics parts produced according to agreed-upon specifications. For further detail on the Company’s warranty obligations see Note 16 "Commitments and Contingencies."
Performance Obligations
The Company’s contracts with customers involve various governing documents (Sourcing Agreements, Master Purchase Agreements, Terms and Conditions Agreements, etc.) which do not reach the level of a performance obligation of the Company until the Company receives either a purchase order and/or a customer release for a specific number of parts at a specified price, at which point the collective group of documents represent an enforceable contract. While the long term supply agreements generally range from three to five years, customers make no commitments to volumes, and pricing or specifications can change prior to or during production. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the parts produced are transferred to the customer according to the terms of the contract, which is usually when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer’s premises. Customers are generally invoiced upon shipment or delivery and payment generally occurs within 45 to 90 days. Customers in China are often invoiced one month after shipment or delivery. Customer returns, when they occur, relate to quality rework issues and are not connected to any repurchase obligation of the Company. As of
June 30, 2018
, all unfulfilled performance obligations are expected to be fulfilled within the next twelve months.
27
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price and the quantity of parts specified in a contract with a customer. Discrete price changes may occur during the vehicle production period in order for the Company to remain competitive with market prices or based on changes in product specifications. In addition, customers may request or expect certain discounts not reflected in the purchase order that require estimation. In the event the Company concludes that a portion of the revenue for a given part may vary from the purchase order, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. The estimates typically represent a narrow range of discounts and are based on historical experience and input from customer negotiations. The Company records such estimates within Sales and Accounts receivable, net, within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The Company adjusts its estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. During the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, the Company recognized approximately
$3 million
and
$11 million
net increase in transaction price related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, respectively.
The Company does not have an enforceable right to payment at any time prior to when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer; therefore, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a part to the customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of the parts has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net, include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for estimated amounts of receivables not expected to be collected. The Company’s accounts receivables are continually assessed for collectibility and any allowance is recorded based upon the age of outstanding receivables, historical payment experience and customer creditworthiness.
Contract Balances
The Company has no material contract assets, contract liabilities or capitalized contract acquisition costs as of
June 30, 2018
.
NOTE 18. Segment Information
Financial results for the Company's reportable segment have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segment primarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments and Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below).
The Company’s current reportable segment is Electronics, which provides vehicle cockpit electronics products to customers, including instrument clusters, information displays, infotainment systems, audio systems, telematics solutions and head-up displays.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuring expense, net interest expense, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, provision for income taxes, discontinued operations, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. The Company has changed the presentation of the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Visteon Corporation, due to the adoption of ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost."
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition,
28
the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies and (iii) the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants.
Electronics sales were
$758 million
and
$774 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was
$81 million
and
$84 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively.
Electronics sales were
$1,572 million
and
$1,584 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018

$185 million
for both six month periods ended ended

and
2017
, respectively.

Global production volumes are projected to increase during the remainder of the year however volumes for certain key Visteon customers are projected to decrease, particularly in North America. Additionally, increased regulations for emission standards,
32
such as the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure and the UK Toxin Tax, may decrease European vehicle production in the near term as vehicle manufacturers adjust to the new standards.
In late June through mid-July 2018, successive heavy rain in southwestern Japan resulted in widespread, devastating floods and mud-flows. Visteon financial impacts through the second quarter of 2018 have been insignificant, and the Company continues to monitor and work with suppliers and customers to minimize potential disruptions.
Significant aspects of the Company's financial results during the
three and six
months period ended
June 30, 2018
include the following:
|
•
|
The Company recorded sales of $
758 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
, representing
a decrease
of
$16 million
when compared with the same period of
2017
. The
decrease
is primarily due to unfavorable volumes in the Americas, customer pricing net of design changes, and product mix, partially offset by net new business and favorable currency.
|
|
•
|
The Company recorded sales of
$1,572 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, representing
a decrease
of
$12 million
when compared with the same period of
2017
. The
decrease
is primarily due to unfavorable volumes, customer pricing net of design changes, and product mix, partially offset by net new business and favorable currency.
|
|
•
|
Gross margin was
$104 million
or
13.7%
of sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
, representing a
decrease
of
$7 million
or
0.6%
of sales compared to the same period of
2017
. The decrease includes customer pricing and product mix, partially offset by improved cost performance and favorable currency.
|
|
•
|
Gross margin was
$233 million
or
14.8%
of sales for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, representing a
decrease
of
$7 million
or
0.4%
of sales compared to the same period of
2017
. The decrease includes customer pricing and product mix, partially offset by improved cost performance including higher engineering recoveries and favorable currency.
|
|
•
|
Net income attributable to Visteon was
$35 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
, compared to net income of
$45 million
for the same period of
2017
. The
decrease
of
$10 million
is primarily attributable to the
decrease
in gross margin including customer pricing and product mix, partially offset by improved cost performance and favorable currency.
|
|
•
|
Net income attributable to Visteon was
$100 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, compared to net income of
$108 million
for the same period of
2017
. The
decrease
of
$8 million
includes a
decrease
in gross margin of
$7 million
, and an increase in restructuring expense of
$6 million
and income taxes of
$7 million
. Additionally, in 2017, discontinued operations net of tax included a gain of
$7 million
associated with the repurchase of India operations. The decreases are partially offset by a pre-tax benefit of
$17 million
, related to the resolution of a legal matter, as further described in Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies." The benefit is classified as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses of
$10 million
, a benefit to other income, net of
$4 million
, and a benefit to income from discontinued operations, net of tax of
$3 million
.
|
|
•
|
Total cash was
$528 million
, including
$3 million
of restricted cash as of
June 30, 2018
,
$181 million
lower
than
$709 million
as of
December 31, 2017
, primarily attributable to share repurchases of
$200 million
,
$69 million
of capital expenditures, distribution payments of
$14 million
, and net debt payments of
$16 million
, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of
$126 million
.
|
|
•
|
The Company
generated
$126 million
of cash from operating activities during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, compared to cash
generated by
operations of
$85 million
during the same period of
2017
, representing a
$41 million
improvement
. The
increase
in operating cash flows is primarily due to a favorable change in trade working capital of $84 million partially attributable to the settlement of collection of delays related to prior year calendarization. Trade working capital improvements are partially offset by increased use of cash related to other accruals of $33 million and lower net income of
$8 million
.

Sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
totaled
$758 million
, which represents
a decrease
of
$16 million
compared with the same period of
2017
.
Favorable
currency
increased
sales by
$27 million
, primarily attributable to the Euro and Chinese Renminbi.
Unfavorable
volumes and product mix, net of new business in the Americas
decreased
sales by
$20 million
. Product mix reflects the Company specific content across product lines. Other
reductions
were primarily associated with customer pricing.
Cost of sales
decreased by
$9 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
compared with the same period in
2017
. Volumes, including the impact of product mix and net new business,
decreased
cost of sales by
$3 million
. Foreign currency
increased
cost of sales by
$19 million
primarily attributable to the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Indian Rupee. Net efficiencies, including material, design and usage economics and higher engineering recoveries
decreased
cost of sales by
$25 million
.
Cost of sales includes net engineering costs comprised of gross engineering expenses related to forward model program development and advanced engineering activities, partially offset by engineering cost recoveries from customers. Gross engineering expenses were
$104 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
,
$6 million
higher
than the same period of
2017
reflecting increased investment in DriveCore™ of
$1 million
and unfavorable currency of
$4 million
. Engineering recoveries were
$25 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
,
consistent with
the same period of
2017
. Engineering cost recoveries can fluctuate period to period depending on underlying contractual terms and conditions and achievement of related development milestones.
34
Gross Margin
Gross margin was
$104 million
or
13.7%
of sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
compared to
$111 million
or
14.3%
of sales for the same period of
2017
. Gross margin was impacted by
$17 million
from
unfavorable
volumes and product mix in the Americas and Europe.
Favorable
currency of
$8 million
reflected the Euro and Chinese Renminbi. Gross margin also included
favorable
net cost performance of
$2 million
, primarily due to favorable material cost efficiencies, partially offset by customer price reductions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were
$55 million
or
7.3%
and
$54 million
or
7.0%
of sales, during the three months ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. The
increase
includes
unfavorable
currency of
$2 million
, partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs.
Restructuring Expense
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded approximately
$3 million
of restructuring expenses related to severance and termination benefits associated with legacy employees at a South America facility.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded
$2 million
of restructuring expenses related to severance and termination benefits associated with employees at North America manufacturing facilities due to the wind-down of certain products.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, was
$2 million
and
$4 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. The
decrease
in net interest expense is primarily due to lower effective interest rates on debt and the non-recurrence of the 2017 interest rate swap settlement expense.
Equity in Net Income of Non-Consolidated Affiliates
Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates was
$4 million
and
$3 million
for the three month periods ending
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. The income is primarily attributable to the Company's equity interest in Yanfeng Visteon Investment Company, which increased due to higher engineering recoveries.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net consists of the following:

Pension financing benefits, net include return on assets net of interest costs and other amortization. The gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, net is described in Note 4, "Non-Consolidated Affiliates."
Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes of
$12 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
, represents
an increase
of
$2 million
, when compared with
$10 million
in the same period of
2017
. The
increase
in tax expense is primarily attributable to the year-over-year increase in the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate driven by the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions.
The reduction of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) enacted in December 2017, did not have a significant impact to income tax expense in the quarter due to the U.S. valuation allowance.
35
The Company’s income tax expense reflects the estimated impacts of other provisions of the Act including the global minimum income tax and base erosion tax provisions related to offshore activities and affiliated party payments neither of which had a significant impact to income tax expense in the quarter.
Net Income
Net income attributable to Visteon was
$35 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
, compared to net income of
$45 million
for the same period of
2017
. The
decrease
of
$10 million
is primarily attributable to the
decrease
in gross margin including customer pricing and product mix, partially offset by improved cost performance and favorable currency.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in Note 18, "Segment Information") was
$81 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
, representing
a decrease
of
$3 million
when compared with Adjusted EBITDA of
$84 million
for the same period of
2017
. The
decrease
includes
unfavorable
volumes and product mix which
reduced
Adjusted EBITDA by
$17 million
.
Favorable
net cost performance increased Adjusted EBITDA by
$8 million
reflecting material cost efficiencies which were partially offset by customer pricing. Foreign currency
increased
Adjusted EBITDA by
$6 million
attributable to the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Japanese Yen, partially offset by the Brazilian Real and Indian Rupee.
The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Visteon for the three months ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, is as follows:

six
months ended
June 30,
37
2018
,
$6 million
higher
than the same period of
2017
. Engineering cost recoveries can fluctuate period to period depending on underlying contractual terms and conditions and achievement of related development milestones.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was
$233 million
or
14.8%
of sales for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
compared to
$240 million
or
15.2%
of sales for the same period of
2017
. Gross margin was impacted by
$30 million
from
unfavorable
volumes and product mix in the Americas and Europe.
Favorable
currency of
$20 million
reflected the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Japanese Yen, partially offset by the Indian Rupee and Brazilian Real. Gross margin also included
favorable
net cost performance of
$3 million
, primarily due to favorable material cost efficiencies and higher engineering recoveries, partially offset by customer price reductions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were
$99 million
or
6.3%
of sales and
$106 million
or
6.7%
of sales during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. The
decrease
includes approximately
$10 million
related to the resolution of a legal matter as further described in Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies," and lower incentive compensation costs of
$3 million
, partially offset by
unfavorable
currency of
$5 million
.
Restructuring Expense
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded approximately
$3 million
of restructuring expenses related to severance and termination benefits associated with legacy employees at a South America facility.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded
$2 million
of restructuring expenses related to severance and termination benefits associated with employees at North America manufacturing facilities due to the wind-down of certain products.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company approved a restructuring program impacting engineering and administrative functions, associated with approximately
250
employees to further align the Company's engineering and related administrative footprint with its core product technologies and customers. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded approximately
$5 million
of restructuring expenses under this program and it is considered substantially complete.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was
$4 million
and
$9 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. The
decrease
in net interest expense is primarily resulting from lower effective interest rates on debt, the non-recurrence of 2017 interest rate swap settlement expense and higher interest rates on outstanding cash balances.
Equity in Net Income of Non-Consolidated Affiliates
Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates was
$7 million
and
$5 million
for the
six
month periods ending
June 30, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. The income is primarily attributable to the Company's equity interest in Yanfeng Visteon Investment Company, which increased due to lower engineering expenses, including recoveries.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net consists of the following:

38
Transformation initiatives include information technology separation costs, integration of acquired business, and financial and advisory services incurred in connection with the Company's transformation into a pure play cockpit electronics business. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, the Company recognized a
$4 million
benefit related to the resolution of a legal matter as further described in Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies."
Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes of
$33 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
represents
an increase
of
$7 million
when compared with
$26 million
in the same period of
2017
. The
increase
in tax expense is attributable to several items which total approximately $9 million and relate primarily to the year-over-year increase in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate driven by the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions and changes in uncertain tax positions, including interest. These increases were partially offset by the non-recurrence of $2 million of tax in 2017 relating to changes in assessments regarding the realization of certain deferred tax assets.
The reduction of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) enacted in December 2017, did not have a significant impact to income tax expense for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
due to the U.S. valuation allowance. The Company’s income tax expense reflects the estimated impacts of other provisions of the Act including the global minimum income tax and base erosion tax provisions related to offshore activities and affiliated party payments neither of which had a significant impact to income tax expense for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
.
Discontinued Operations
In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company completed the repurchase of the electronics operations located in India during the first quarter of 2017 for
$47 million
, recognizing a
$7 million
gain on settlement of purchase commitment contingencies.
Net Income
Net income attributable to Visteon was
$100 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, compared to net income of
$108 million
for the same period of
2017
. The
decrease
of
$8 million
includes a
decrease
in gross margin of
$7 million
, and an increase in restructuring expense of
$6 million
and income taxes of
$7 million
. Additionally, in 2017, discontinued operations net of tax included a gain of
$7 million
associated with the repurchase of India operations. The decreases are partially offset by a pre-tax benefit of
$17 million
, related to the resolution of a legal matter, as further described in Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies." The benefit is classified as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses of
$10 million
, a benefit to other income, net of
$4 million
, and a benefit to income from discontinued operations, net of tax of
$3 million
.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in Note 18, "Segment Information") was
$185 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, consistent with the same period of
2017
.
Favorable
net cost performance increased Adjusted EBITDA by
$15 million
reflecting material cost efficiencies and
higher
engineering recoveries which were partially offset by customer pricing. Foreign currency
increased
Adjusted EBITDA by
$15 million
attributable to the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Japanese Yen, partially offset by the Brazilian Real and Indian Rupee.
Unfavorable
volumes and product mix
decreased
Adjusted EBITDA by
$30 million
.

Liquidity
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, and borrowings under available credit facilities, if necessary. The Company believes that funds generated from these sources will be adequate to fund its liquidity for current business requirements.
A portion of the Company's cash flows from operations are generated outside of the U.S. Accordingly, the Company utilizes a combination of cash repatriation strategies, including dividends and distributions, royalties, and intercompany arrangements to provide the funds necessary to meet obligations globally. The Company’s ability to access funds from its subsidiaries is subject to, among other things, customary regulatory and statutory requirements and contractual arrangements including joint venture agreements and local credit facilities. Moreover, repatriation efforts may be modified by the Company according to prevailing circumstances.
The Company's ability to generate operating cash flow is dependent on the level, variability and timing of its customers' worldwide vehicle production, which may be affected by many factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, specific industry conditions, financial markets, competitive factors and legislative and regulatory changes. The Company monitors the macroeconomic environment and its impact on vehicle production volumes in relation to the Company's specific cash needs. The Company's intra-year needs are impacted by seasonal effects in the industry, such as mid-year shutdowns, the subsequent ramp-up of new model production and year-end shutdowns at key customers.
In the event that the Company's funding requirements exceed cash provided by its operating activities, the Company will meet such requirements by reduction of existing cash balances, by drawing on its
$300 million
Revolving Credit Facility or other affiliate working capital lines, by seeking additional capital through debt or equity markets, or some combination thereof.
Access to additional capital through the debt or equity markets is influenced by the Company's credit ratings. During the first quarter of 2018, Moody's upgraded the Company's credit rating to Ba2 from Ba3 and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services reaffirmed the Company's credit rating of 'BB'. See Note 10 "Debt" to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a more comprehensive discussion of the Company's debt facilities. Incremental funding requirements of the Company's consolidated foreign entities are primarily accommodated by intercompany cash pooling structures. Affiliate working capital lines are primarily used by the Company's consolidated joint ventures, which had availability of
$27 million
as of
June 30, 2018
.
Cash Balances
As of
June 30, 2018
, the Company had total cash of
$528 million
, including
$3 million
of restricted cash. Cash balances totaling
$321 million
were located in jurisdictions outside of the United States, of which approximately
$170 million
is considered permanently reinvested for funding ongoing operations outside of the U.S. If such permanently reinvested funds were repatriated to the U.S., no U.S. federal taxes would be imposed on the distribution of such foreign earnings due to U.S. tax reform enacted in December 2017, but the Company would be required to accrue additional tax expense, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.
Other Items Affecting Liquidity
On January 15, 2018, Visteon's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
$500 million
of shares of the Company's common stock through 2020, for a total authorization of
$700 million
. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company executed agreements to purchase $200 million of shares. As of
June 30, 2018
,
$500 million
of the authorization through 2020 remains outstanding. Additional discussion regarding the Company's share repurchase activity is provided in Note 13, "Shareholders Equity and Non-Controlling Interests."
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash contributions to the Company's defined benefit plans were less than
$1 million
for the U.S. plans and
$3 million
for the non-U.S. plans. The Company estimates that cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans will be
$7 million
in 2018.
Management’s ongoing efforts to drive further operational improvements may cause the Company to incur additional restructuring charges.
41
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
The Company
generated
$126 million
of cash from operating activities during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, compared to cash
generated by
operations of
$85 million
during the same period of
2017
, representing a
$41 million
improvement
. The
increase
in operating cash flows is primarily due to more favorable changes in trade working capital of $84 million during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
as compared to the same period of
2017
. These improvements are attributable to the settlement of collection delays related to prior year calendarization. Trade working capital improvements are partially offset by increased use of cash related to other assets and liabilities of $33 million including capitalized engineering and employee liabilities, and lower net income of $8 million.
Investing Activities
Cash
used by
investing activities during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
totaled
$66 million
, compared to net cash
used by
investing activities of
$76 million
for the same period in
2017
. Net cash
used by
investing activities during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, included capital expenditures of
$69 million
, partially offset by proceeds from non-consolidated affiliate loan repayments of $2 million.
The
$10 million
higher cash use in 2017 was primarily driven by purchase of the India electronics operations associated with the Climate Transaction of
$47 million
offset partially by divestiture proceeds in 2017 of
$13 million
and $22 million of higher capital expenditures in 2018.
Financing Activities
Cash
used by
financing activities during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, totaled
$233 million
, compared to a use of cash of
$170 million
during the same period in
2017
, for
an increase
of cash
used by
financing activities of
$63 million
. The
increase
in use of cash is attributable to higher share repurchase transactions of $40 million, a net reduction in short term debt of
$16 million
as compared to a
$7 million
increase during the same period last year, and higher distribution payments of $13 million, partially offset by lower dividends paid to non-controlling interests of $10 million.

Item 3.
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
The primary market risks to which the Company is exposed include changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through derivative instruments and various operating actions including fixed price contracts with suppliers and cost sourcing arrangements with customers. The Company's use of derivative instruments is limited to mitigation of market risks, including hedging activities. However, derivative instruments are not used for speculative or trading purposes, as defined by risk management policies. Additionally, the Company's use of derivative instruments creates exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter-party to the derivative financial instruments. The Company limits this exposure by entering into agreements directly with a variety of major financial institutions with high credit standards and that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Additionally, the Company's ability to utilize derivatives to manage market risk is dependent on credit conditions and market conditions given the current economic environment.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company's net cash inflows and outflows that are exposed to the risk of adverse changes in exchange rates as related to the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends, investments in subsidiaries and anticipated foreign currency denominated transaction proceeds. Where possible, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risks. Forward and option contracts may be utilized to reduce the impact to the Company's cash flows from adverse movements in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed periodically and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. The Company’s current primary hedged foreign currency exposures include the Japanese Yen, Euro, Thai Baht, and Mexican Peso. Where possible, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage for transactions in these currencies. The Company's policy requires that hedge transactions relate to a specific portion of the exposure not to exceed the aggregate amount of the underlying transaction.
In addition to the transactional exposure described above, the Company's operating results are impacted by the translation of its foreign operating income into U.S. dollars. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate this exposure.
The hypothetical pre-tax gain or loss in fair value from a 10% favorable or adverse change in quoted currency exchange rates would be approximately
$27 million
and
$29 million
for foreign currency derivative financial instruments as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively. These estimated changes assume a parallel shift in all currency exchange rates and include the gain or loss on financial instruments used to hedge investments in subsidiaries. Because exchange rates typically do not all move in the same direction, the estimate may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on the net fair value of the Company's financial derivatives. It is also important to note that gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would generally be offset by gains and losses on the underlying exposures being hedged.
Interest Rate Risk
See Note 15 "Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments" to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 for additional information.
Commodity Risk
The Company's exposures to market risk from changes in the price of production material are managed primarily through negotiations with suppliers and customers, although there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all such costs. The Company continues to evaluate derivatives available in the marketplace and may decide to utilize derivatives in the future to manage select commodity risks if an acceptable hedging instrument is identified for the Company's exposure level at that time, as well as the effectiveness of the financial hedge among other factors.
