PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Lear Corporation and subsidiaries pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2022.

The financial information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. These results are not necessarily indicative of a full ~~year’s~~year's results of operations.

The Company monitors its long-lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis in accordance with GAAP. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. ~~Except as discussed below, the Company does not believe that there were any indicators that would have resulted in long-lived asset impairment charges as of September 30, 2017.~~ The Company will ~~however,~~ continue to assess the impact of ~~any~~ significant industry and other events on the realization of its long-lived assets.

In the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017~~2023 and ~~2016,~~2022, the Company recognized ~~fixed asset~~property, plant and equipment impairment charges of ~~$0.4~~$0.1 million and ~~$3.5~~$0.5 million, respectively, in conjunction with its restructuring actions (Note 3,4, "Restructuring").

~~Recognized goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.~~

Intangible assets consist of amounts recognized for the fair value of customer-based assets and were based on an independent appraisal. Customer-based assets include Lear STEC’s established relationships with its customers and the ability of these customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. It is currently estimated that these intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 12 years.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the consolidation contain provisional estimates that may be revised as a result of additional information obtained regarding such assets and liabilities.

As of the date of consolidation, the fair value of the Company’s previously held equity interest in Lear STEC was $94.0 million, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Lear STEC was $125.0 million.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

In ~~connection with~~ the ~~consolidation,~~first three months of 2023, the ~~noncontrolling interest holder obtained the option, which is embedded~~Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.9 million related to an intangible asset of its E-Systems segment resulting from a change in the noncontrolling interest, to require the Company to purchase or redeem the 45% noncontrolling interest based on a pre-determined earnings multiple formula. In accordance with GAAP, the Company records redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greaterintended use of ~~(1) the initial carrying amount adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holder’s share~~such asset. The impairment charge is included in amortization of total comprehensive income or loss and dividends (“noncontrolling interest carrying value”) or (2) the redemption value as of and based on conditions existing as of the reporting date. Required redemption adjustments are recorded as an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified in mezzanine equityintangible assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated ~~balance sheet as~~statement of ~~September 30, 2017.~~comprehensive income for the three months ended April 1, 2023.

Redemption value of a noncontrolling interest in excess of carrying value represents a dividend distribution that is different from dividend distributions to other common stockholders. Therefore, periodic redemption adjustments recorded in excess of carrying value are reflected as a reduction to the income available to common stockholders in the computation of earnings per share. Redeemable noncontrolling interest of $147.7 million related to Lear STEC is reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017. This amount includes a noncontrolling interest redemption adjustment of $22.7 million, representing the difference between the redemption value and carrying value.

Lear STEC’s annual sales are approximately $280 million. Lear STEC provides wire harnesses to SAIC Motor Corporation Limited and its joint ventures with both North American and European automotive manufacturers. The pro forma effects of this consolidation would not materially impact the Company’s reported results for any period presented.(8) Goodwill

(12) Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide production parts generally at the beginning of a vehicle's life cycle. Typically, these contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of products, but once entered into, the Company is often expected to fulfill its customers' purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. Many of these contracts may ~~elect~~be terminated by the Company's customers at any time. Historically, terminations of these contracts have been infrequent. The Company receives purchase orders from its customers, which provide the commercial terms for a particular production part, including price (but not quantities). Contracts may also provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the vehicle, and prices may be adjusted on an ongoing basis to ~~make contributions in excess of minimum funding requirements in response to investment performance or~~reflect changes in ~~interest rates or~~product content/cost and other commercial factors.

Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer under standard commercial terms, as the Company ~~believes~~does not have an enforceable right to payment prior to such transfer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that ~~it is financially advantageous~~the Company expects to ~~do so and~~be entitled to in exchange for those products based on the current purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments. In the first three months of 2023 and 2022, revenue recognized related to prior years represented less than 2% of consolidated net sales. The Company's customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry. The Company's contracts with its ~~other cash requirements.~~

customers do not have significant financing components.

The ~~Company’s~~Company's current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ~~Company’s~~Company's future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the ~~Company’s~~Company's deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the ~~Company’s~~Company's decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods.

~~As of September 30, 2017,~~ In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company ~~has approximately $300 million~~makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of ~~excess foreign~~the carrying value of its deferred tax ~~credits at~~assets, as well as its calculation of certain ~~foreign subsidiaries that cannot be recognized under GAAP until~~tax liabilities.

On August 16, 2022, the ~~related foreign earnings are repatriated~~Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was signed into law. The IRA contains a number of revisions to the ~~United States through dividends. It is likely that the Company will repatriate these foreign earnings~~Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum tax and ~~recognize all or~~ a substantial portion of such foreign tax credits in the fourth quarter of 2017. The recognition of these foreign tax credits would create a deferred tax asset that under current U.S. tax law may reduce U.S.1% excise tax on ~~certain foreign source income over~~share repurchases, which are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The tax-related provisions of the ~~next several years.~~IRA did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Common Stock Share Repurchase Program

In February 2017, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $658.8 million increase to the existing common stock share repurchase program to provide for a remaining aggregate repurchase authorization of $1.0 billion and extended the term of the program to December 31, 2019. In the first nine months of 2017, the Company paid, in aggregate, $332.2 million for repurchases of its outstanding common stock (2,320,469 shares at an average purchase price of $143.14 per share, excluding commissions). As of the end of the third quarter of 2017, the Company has a remaining repurchase authorization of $667.8 million under its ongoing common stock share repurchase program. The Company may implement ~~these~~ share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which the Company ~~will~~may repurchase its outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors.

The Company has a common stock share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") which permits the discretionary repurchase of its common stock. Since its inception in the first quarter of 2011, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized $6.1 billion in share repurchases under the Repurchase Program, and the Company has repurchased, in aggregate, $4.9 billion of its outstanding common stock, at an average price of $91.71 per share, excluding commissions and related fees.

Product ~~liability~~warranty and ~~warranty~~recall reserves are recorded separately from legal reserves, as described below.

Commercial Disputes

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes with its customers, suppliers and competitors. These disputes vary in nature and are usually resolved by negotiations between the parties.

Product ~~Liability~~Warranty and ~~Warranty~~Recall Matters

In the event that use of the ~~Company’s~~Company's products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or other losses, the Company may be subject to product liability lawsuits and other claims. Such lawsuits generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages and ~~attorneys’~~attorneys' fees and costs. In addition, if any of the ~~Company’s~~Company's products are, or are alleged to be, defective, the Company may be required or requested by its customers to participate in a recall or other corrective action involving such products. Certain of the ~~Company’s~~Company's customers have asserted claims against the Company for costs related to recalls or other corrective actions involving its products. 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 such claims.

To a lesser extent, the Company is a party to agreements with certain of its customers, whereby these customers may pursue claims against the Company for contribution of all or a portion of the amounts sought in connection with product ~~liability~~warranty and ~~warranty claims.~~

embedded control, cybersecurity software and ~~hybrid electric systems.~~software to control hardware devices. The Company's customers traditionally have sourced its electronic hardware together with the software that the Company embeds in it. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate and regional headquarters costs include various support functions, such as information technology, advanced research and development, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources.

Each of the Company's operating segments reports its results from operations and makes its requests for capital expenditures directly to the chief operating decision maker. The economic performance of each operating segment is driven primarily by automotive production volumes in the geographic regions in which it operates, as well as by the success of the vehicle platforms for which it supplies products. Also, each operating segment operates in the competitive Tier 1 automotive supplier environment and is continually working with its customers to manage costs and improve quality. The Company's production processes generally make use of hourly labor, dedicated facilities, sequential manufacturing and assembly processes and commodity raw materials.

The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on (i) revenues from external customers, (ii) pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense and other expense, net ("segment earnings") and (iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has used derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates and the resulting variability of the ~~Company’s~~Company's operating results. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives. The ~~Company’s~~Company's derivative financial instruments are subject to master ~~netting~~ arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. On the date that a derivative contract for a ~~hedging~~hedge instrument is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of the exposure of a forecasted transaction or of the variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge), (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge) or (4) a contract not designated as a ~~hedging~~hedge instrument.

For a fair value hedge, ~~both the effective and ineffective portions of~~ the change in the fair value of the derivative ~~are~~is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated ~~statement~~statements of comprehensive income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a cash flow hedge, the ~~effective portion of the~~ change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet.~~sheets. When the underlying hedged

transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated ~~statement~~statements of comprehensive income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a net investment hedge, ~~the effective portion of~~ the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in cumulative translation adjustment, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet. In addition, changes~~sheets. When the related currency translation adjustment is required to be reclassified, usually upon the sale or liquidation of the investment, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of contracts not designated as ~~hedging~~hedge instruments ~~and the ineffective portion of both cash flow and net investment hedges~~ are recorded in earnings and reflected in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated ~~statement~~statements of ~~income~~comprehensive income. Cash flows attributable to derivatives used to manage foreign currency risks are classified on the same line as the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon settlement, cash flows attributable to derivatives designated as net investment hedges are classified as investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows attributable to forward starting interest rate swaps are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedge instruments and the related hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other ~~expense, net.~~current and long-term assets and other current and long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also formally assesses whether a derivative used in a hedge transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or the cash flows of the hedged item. When it is determined that a hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting.

Foreign Exchange

The Company uses forwards, swaps and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments are intended to offset gains and losses on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the ~~Thai baht,~~Chinese renminbi, the Philippine peso and the Japanese ~~yen, the Canadian dollar and the Philippine peso.~~

Fair Value Measurements

GAAP provides that fair value is an exit price, defined as a market-based measurement that represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:



Market:						This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Income:						This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations.

Cost:						This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

Table of Contents

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

Further, GAAP prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used in the valuation techniques described above into a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows:



Level 1:						Observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2:						Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.

Level 3:						Unobservable inputs that reflect the ~~entity’s~~entity's own assumptions about the exit price of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may be used if there is little or no market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company discloses fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for its assets and liabilities that are measured or disclosed at fair value.

The Company determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounts such forward values to the present value. The discount rates used are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates. If a derivative contract is in a net liability position, the Company adjusts these discount rates, if required, by an estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the ~~Company’s~~Company's counterparties. If an estimate of the credit spread is required, the Company uses significant assumptions and factors other than quoted market rates, which would result in the classification of its derivative liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Industry Overview

Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive vehicles and the availability of raw materials and components, and our content per vehicle. Since 2020, the automotive industry has experienced a decline in global production volumes. Although industry production has recovered modestly with production increasing 7% in 2022 compared to 2021 and expected to increase 4% in 2023 compared to 2022 (based on April 2023 S&P Global Mobility), production remains well below recent historic levels. Global industry production in 2023 is expected to be approximately 4% below 2019 pre-pandemic levels and 10% below 2017 peak levels. Since 2020, the global economy, as well as the automotive industry, have been influenced directly and indirectly by macroeconomic events resulting in unfavorable conditions, including shortages of semiconductor chips and other components, elevated inflation levels, higher interest rates, and labor and energy shortages in certain markets. These factors, amongst others, continue to impact consumer demand as well as the ability of automotive manufacturers to produce vehicles to meet demand. Our strategy to mitigate these impacts encompasses our comprehensive cost management process, including cost technology optimization, actions to further align our manufacturing capacity to the current industry production environment, investments in Industry 4.0 technologies to enhance operational efficiencies, and improved utilization of existing facilities and equipment to reduce future expenditures. For a description of related risks, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Global automotive industry production volumes in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017,~~2023, as compared to the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2016,~~2022, are shown below (in ~~millions~~thousands of units):

(2) Production data for 2022 have been updated from our first quarter 2022 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect actual production levels

In addition to the factors noted above, automotive sales and production can be affected by the age of the vehicle fleet and related scrappage rates, labor relations issues, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements, the availability and cost of credit, the availability of critical components needed to complete the production of vehicles, restructuring actions of our customers and suppliers, facility closures, changing consumer attitudes toward vehicle ownership and usage and other factors. Our operating results are also significantly impacted by the overall commercial success of the vehicle platforms for which we supply particular products, as well as the level of vertical integration and profitability of the products that we supply for these platforms. The loss of business with respect to any vehicle model for which we are a significant supplier, or a decrease in the production levels of any such models, could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, larger cars and light trucks, as well as vehicle platforms that offer more

Demand for, ~~luxury~~ and ~~performance features, including increasing levels of electrical~~regulatory developments related to, improved energy efficiency, sustainability, and ~~electronic content,~~enhanced safety and ~~China’s emergence as the single largest major automotive market in the world. In addition, three major mega-trends have broadly emerged as major~~communications (e.g., government mandates related to fuel economy, carbon emissions and safety equipment) are significant drivers of ~~change~~these trends. Electrification, in particular, is likely to be at the forefront of our industry for the foreseeable future.

Through our products, technology and strategic initiatives, we are well positioned to capture business growth opportunities resulting from current industry trends. We are focused on profitably growing our businesses and have implemented a strategy designed to deliver industry-leading, long-term financial returns. This strategy is based upon the following four pillars designed to capitalize on industry trends and drive growth and profitability in both of our business segments:

•Extend our market leadership position in Seating with priceable content;

•Transform our E-Systems business through accelerated growth in connection systems, vehicle architecture evolution and electrification;

•Build on our reputation for operational excellence through investment in Industry 4.0 technologies; and

•Prioritize people and the ~~automotive industry: connectivity, safety~~planet through our Environmental, Social and ~~efficiency. These trends support shared mobility and long-term convergence~~Governance ("ESG") initiatives.

~~Our sales and marketing approach is based on addressing~~ these trends ~~while~~and our strategy, focuses on the major imperatives for success as an automotive supplier: quality, service, cost and efficiency and innovation and technology. We have expanded key component and software capabilities through organic investment and acquisitions to ensure a full complement of the highest quality solutions for our customers. We have restructured, and continue to align, our manufacturing and engineering footprint to attain a leading competitive position globally. We have established or expanded our capabilities in new and growing markets, especially China, in support of our customers’ growth and global platform initiatives. These initiatives have helped us achieve our financial goals overall, as well as a more balanced regional, customer and vehicle segment diversificationsee Item 1, "Business," in our ~~business.~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Our customers typically require us to reduce our prices over the life of a vehicle model and, at the same time, assume significant responsibility for the design, development and engineering of our products. Our financial performance is largely dependent on our ability to ~~achieve~~offset these price reductions with product cost reductions through product design enhancement, ~~and~~ supply chain management, ~~as well as~~ manufacturing efficiencies and restructuring actions. We also seek to enhance our financial performance by investing in product development, design capabilities and new product initiatives that respond to and anticipate the needs of our customers and consumers. We continually evaluate operational and strategic alternatives to improve our business structure and align our business with the changing needs of our customers and major industry trends affecting our business.

Our material cost as a percentage of net sales was ~~65.0%~~66.1% in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017,~~2023, as compared to ~~65.1%~~66.4% in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2016.~~2022.

Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of ~~higher raw material, energy and commodity~~such costs ~~such as~~through the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, contractual recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. ~~However,~~Further, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through purchased components, and a significant portion of our copper, leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining price environment. In the current environment of escalating raw material, energy, commodity and product component costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, typically offset only a portion of the adverse impact. ~~Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining commodity environment.~~ In addition, the availability of raw materials, energy, commodities and product components fluctuates from time to time due to factors outside of our control. If these costs increase or availability is restricted, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future.

In addition, our cash flow is impacted by our ability to manage our inventory and capital spending effectively. We utilize return on invested capital as a measure of the efficiency with which our assets generate earnings. Improvements in our return on invested capital will depend on our ability to maintain an appropriate asset base for our business and to increase productivity and operating efficiency.

The automotive industry, and our business, continue to be shaped by the broad trends of electrification and, to a lesser extent, shared mobility. Demand for, and regulatory developments related to, improved energy efficiency, sustainability, and enhanced safety and communications (e.g., government mandates related to fuel economy, carbon emissions and safety equipment) are significant drivers of these trends. Electrification, in particular, is likely to be at the forefront of our industry for the foreseeable future.

•Extend our market leadership position in Seating with priceable content;

•Transform our E-Systems business through accelerated growth in connection systems, vehicle architecture evolution and electrification;

•Build on our reputation for operational excellence through investment in Industry 4.0 technologies; and

Our financial performance is largely dependent on our ability to offset these price reductions with product cost reductions through product design enhancement, supply chain management, manufacturing efficiencies and restructuring actions. We also seek to enhance our financial performance by investing in product development, design capabilities and new product initiatives that respond to and anticipate the needs of our customers and consumers. We continually evaluate operational and strategic alternatives to improve our business structure and align our business with the changing needs of our customers and major industry trends affecting our business.

In the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized net tax benefits of $14 million related to the redemption of the 2023 Notes, restructuring charges and various other items. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized net tax benefits of $68 million related to the reversal of valuation allowances on the deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries, a change in the accounting for share-based compensation, the redemption of the 2023 Notes, restructuring charges and various other items.

In June 2016, we amended the existing joint venture agreement of Beijing BAI Lear Automotive Systems Co., Ltd.

Financial Measures

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus primarily on earnings, operating margins, cash flows and return on invested capital. Our strategy includes expanding our business with new and existing customers globally through new products, including those aligned with the trend toward electrification. We also have selectively increased our vertical integration capabilities globally, as well as expanded our component manufacturing capacity in Asia, Eastern Europe, Mexico and Northern Africa and our low-cost engineering capabilities in Asia, Eastern Europe and Northern Africa.

Our success in generating cash flow will depend, in part, on our ability to manage working capital effectively. Working capital can be significantly impacted by the timing of cash flows from sales and purchases. Historically, we generally have been successful in aligning our supplier payment terms with our customer payment terms. However, our ability to continue to do so may be impacted by adverse automotive industry conditions, including inconsistent production schedules due to supply shortages, changes to our customers' payment terms and the financial condition of our suppliers. In addition, our cash flow is impacted by our ability to manage our inventory and capital spending effectively. We utilize return on invested capital as a measure of the efficiency with which our assets generate earnings. Improvements in our return on invested capital will depend on our ability to maintain an appropriate asset base for our business and to increase productivity and operating efficiency.

Our material cost as a percentage of net sales was 66.1% in the first three months of 2023, as compared to 66.4% in the first three months of 2022. Raw material, energy, commodity and product component costs can be volatile, reflecting, among other things, changes in supply and demand, logistics issues, global trade and tariff policies, and geopolitical issues. Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of such costs through the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, contractual recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. Further, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through purchased components, and a significant portion of our copper, leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining price environment. In the current environment of escalating raw material, energy, commodity and product component costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, typically offset only a portion of the adverse impact. In addition, the availability of raw materials, energy, commodities and product components fluctuates from time to time due to factors outside of our control.

Acquisition

Operational Restructuring

In the first three months of 2023, we incurred pretax restructuring costs of $15 million, as compared to pretax restructuring costs of $30 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $2 million in the first three months of 2022. None of the individual restructuring actions initiated in the first three months of 2023 were material. Further, there have been no changes in previously initiated restructuring actions that have resulted (or will result) in a material change to our restructuring costs.

Our restructuring actions include plant closures and workforce reductions and are initiated to maintain our competitive footprint or are in response to customer initiatives or changes in global and regional automotive markets. Our restructuring actions are designed to maintain or improve our operating results and profitability throughout the automotive industry cycles. Restructuring actions are generally funded within twelve months of initiation and are funded by cash flows from operating activities and existing cash balances. We expect to incur approximately $19 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of April 1, 2023, all of which are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months. We plan to implement additional restructuring actions in order to align our manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing regional automotive production levels. Such future restructuring actions are dependent on market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

For further information, see Note 4, "Restructuring," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Financing Transaction

On April 26, 2023, we provided irrevocable notice to borrow $150 million under our delayed-draw term loan facility to finance the acquisition of IGB.

For further information related to our acquisition of IGB and our delayed-draw term loan facility, see Note 3, "Acquisitions," and Note 9, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends

We may implement share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which we may repurchase our outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors (see "— Forward-Looking Statements" below).

Since the first quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized $6.1 billion in share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program. In the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased $25 million of shares. As of April 1, 2023, we have a remaining repurchase authorization of $1.2 billion, which expires on December 31, 2024.

Our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.77 per share of common stock in the first quarter of 2023.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund general business requirements, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures, operational restructuring actions and debt service requirements. ~~In addition, we expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our authorized common stock share repurchase program.~~ Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under available credit facilities and our existing cash balance.

Cash Provided by Subsidiaries

A substantial portion of our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, we are dependent on the earnings and cash flows of and the combination of dividends, royalties, intercompany loan repayments and other distributions and advances from our subsidiaries to provide the funds necessary to meet our obligations.

As of ~~September 30, 2017~~April 1, 2023 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2022, cash and cash equivalents of ~~$917~~$673 million and ~~$767~~$790 million, respectively, were held in foreign subsidiaries and can be repatriated, primarily through the repayment of intercompany loans ~~without creating additional income tax expense.~~and the payment of dividends. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Lear.

For further information related to potential dividends from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, see ~~"— Adequacy of Liquidity Sources," below and~~ Note 7,9, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~

In the first nine months of 2017, increases in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable primarily reflect higher working capital to support the increase in our sales. In the first nine months of 2017, changes in accrued liabilities and other primarily reflect the timing of payment of accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $700 million in the first nine months of 2017, as compared to $249 million in the first nine months of 2016. This increase is primarily due to cash paid of $287 million related to the acquisition of Antolin Seating. In addition, capital spending was $430 million in the first nine months of 2017, as compared to $300 million in the first nine months of 2016. Capital spending in 2017 is estimated at~~$585 million.~~

Net cash used in financing activities was $546 million in the first nine months of 2017, as compared to $699 million in the first nine months of 2016. In the first nine months of 2017, we received net proceeds of $745 million related to the issuance of the 2027 Notes, paid $517 million related to the redemption of the outstanding 2023 Notes and paid a net of $203 million related to the refinancing of the Credit Agreement (see "— Credit Agreement" and "— Senior Notes" below). Also in 2017, we paid $332 million for repurchases of our common stock, $104 million of dividends to Lear stockholders and $43 million of dividends to noncontrolling interest holders. In 2016, we paid $558 million for repurchases of our common stock, $68 million of dividends to Lear stockholders and $15 million of dividends to noncontrolling interest holders.

~~Capitalization~~

From time to time, we utilize uncommitted credit facilities to fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements at certain of our foreign subsidiaries, in addition to cash provided by operating activities. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our outstanding short-term debt balance was $2 million and $9 million, respectively. The availability of uncommitted lines of credit may be affected by our financial performance, credit ratings and other factors.

In August 2017, we issued the 2027 Notes, resulting in proceeds of $745 million, after original issue discount. The proceeds from the offering were used to redeem the outstanding 2023 Notes at a redemption price of $517 million, as well as to refinance a portion of the $500 million prior term loan facility (see "— Credit Agreement," below). In connection with the redemption transaction, we recognized a loss of $21 million on the extinguishment of debt.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations. As discussed further in "— Credit Agreement" below, upon termination of our prior credit agreement, the subsidiaries that previously guaranteed the 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes were automatically released as guarantors. There are currently no guarantors of our obligations under the Notes.

For further information related to the Notes, including information on early redemption, covenants and events of default, see Note 8, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 6, "Debt," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

~~Credit Agreement~~

~~In August 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement consisting of a $1.75 billion Revolving Credit Facility and a $250 Term Loan Facility, both of which mature on August 8,~~ 2022.In connection with this transaction, we borrowed $250 million under the Term Loan Facility. At the same time, we terminated our previously existing credit agreement, which consisted of a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility and a $500 million term loan facility, and repaid amounts outstanding under the term loan facility of $453 million. Together with the offering of the 2027 Notes, these transactions extended our maturity profile and increased our borrowing capacity.

~~The Credit Agreement eliminated subsidiary guarantees previously required under the prior credit agreement. There are currently no guarantors of our obligations under the Credit Agreement.~~

For further information related to the Credit Agreement, including information on pricing, covenants and events of default, see Note 8, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

~~Scheduled Interest Payment and Covenants~~

~~There are no scheduled cash interest payments for the remaining three months of 2017.~~

~~As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Notes.~~

~~Accounts Receivable Factoring~~

One of our European subsidiaries has an uncommitted factoring agreement, which provides for aggregate purchases of specified customer accounts of up to €200 million. As of September 30, 2017, there were no factored receivables outstanding. We cannot provide any assurances that this factoring facility will be available or utilized in the future.

~~Common Stock Share Repurchase Program~~

In February 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a $659 million increase to our existing common stock share repurchase program to provide for a remaining aggregate repurchase authorization of $1 billion and extended the term of the program to December 31, 2019. In the first nine months of 2017, we paid, in aggregate, $332 million for repurchases of our outstanding common stock (2,320,469 shares at an average purchase price of $143.14 per share, excluding commissions). As of the end of the third quarter of 2017, we have a remaining repurchase authorization of $668 million.

We may implement these share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which we will repurchase our outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon our financial condition, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors (see "—Forward-Looking Statements").

Since the first quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors has authorized $4.1 billion in share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program. As of the end of the third quarter of 2017, we have paid, in aggregate, $3.4 billion for repurchases of our outstanding common stock, at an average price of $78.18 per share, excluding commissions and related fees.

For further information related to our common stock share repurchase program, see Note 13, "Comprehensive Income and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

~~Dividends~~

The quarterly cash dividend declared in each of the first three quarters of 2017 reflects a 67% increase over the quarterly cash dividend declared in each of the first three quarters of 2016. A summary of 2017 dividends is shown below:

Payment Date Dividend Per Share Declaration Date Record Date
March 23, 2017 $ 0.50
February 10, 2017 March 3, 2017

May 18, 2017 June 9, 2017
September 19, 2017 $ 0.50
August 9, 2017 August 31, 2017

We currently expect to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future, although such payments are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, alternative uses of capital and other factors that our Board of Directors may consider at its discretion.

Adequacy of Liquidity Sources

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~April 1, 2023, we had ~~approximately $1.3 billion~~$899 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, ~~and $1.75~~$2.0 billion in available borrowing capacity under our ~~Revolving Credit Facility.~~credit agreement and $150 million in available borrowing capacity under our delayed draw facility (to finance our acquisition of IGB). Together with cash provided by operating activities, we believe that this will enable us to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future and to satisfy ordinary course business ~~obligations, as well as~~obligations. In addition, we expect to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our authorized common stock share repurchase program, although such actions are at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors that our Board may consider at its discretion.

For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties affecting our cash flows from operations and our overall liquidity, see "— Executive Overview" above, "— Forward-Looking Statements" below and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2022, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in this Report.

~~Market Risk Sensitivity~~

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We manage a portion of these risks through the use of derivative financial instruments in accordance with our policies. We enter into all hedging transactions for periods consistent with the underlying exposures. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes.

~~Foreign Exchange~~

Operating results may be impacted by our buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currency of our operating companies ("transactional exposure"). We may mitigate a portion of this risk by entering into forward foreign exchange, futures and option contracts. The foreign exchange contracts are executed with banks that we believe are creditworthy. Gains and losses related to foreign exchange contracts are deferred where appropriate and included in the measurement of the foreign currency transaction subject to the hedge. Gains and losses incurred related to foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by the direct effects of currency movements on the underlying transactions.Cash Flows

Operating Activities

~~Currently,~~In the first three months of 2023 and 2022, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was ($36) million and $221 million, respectively. The overall decrease in operating cash flow is primarily due to an increase in working capital in the first quarter of 2023 to support our ~~most significant foreign currency transactional exposures relate~~higher sales, as compared to a small decrease in working capital in the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the timing of our fiscal quarter end resulted in the delay of certain customer payments until the second quarter of 2023. These decreases were partially offset by our higher earnings in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to the ~~Mexican peso, various European currencies,~~first quarter of 2022.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $110 million in the ~~Thai baht,~~first three months of 2023, as compared to $303 million in the ~~Chinese renminbi,~~first three months of 2022. In the ~~Brazilian real,~~first three months of 2022, we paid $184 million for our Kongsberg ICS acquisition. Capital spending was $112 million in the ~~Japanese yen and~~first three months of 2023, as compared to $130 million in the ~~Canadian dollar. We have performed a sensitivity analysis~~first three months of 2022. Capital spending is estimated to be $700 million in 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $83 million in the first three months of 2023, as compared to $71 million in the first three months of 2022. In the first three months of 2023, we paid $25 million for repurchases of our ~~net transactional exposure,~~common stock and $47 million of dividends to Lear stockholders. In the first three months of 2022, we paid $47 million of dividends to Lear stockholders.

Commodity Prices and Availability

Raw material, energy and commodity costs can be ~~volatile.~~volatile, reflecting, among other things, changes in supply and demand, logistics issues, global trade and tariff policies, and geopolitical issues. We have commodity price risk with respect to purchases of certain raw materials, including steel, copper, diesel fuel, chemicals, resins and leather. Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of ~~higher raw material, energy and commodity~~such costs ~~such as~~through the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, contractual recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. ~~However,~~Further, the majority of the steel used in our products is comprised of fabricated components that are integrated into a seat system, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks and other mechanical components. Therefore, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through purchased components. Additionally, approximately 90%of our copper purchases and a significant portion of our leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining commodity price environment. In the current environment of escalating raw material, energy and commodity costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, typically offset only a portion of the adverse impact. ~~Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining commodity cost environment.~~ If these costs increase, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future.
