Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Table of Contents

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: Government Assistance - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This ASU allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption.

The Company has, with other industry leaders, interacted with the FASB on certain interpretation issues as well as interacted with non-authoritative industry groups with respect to the implementation of the standard and will continue to monitor the interactions between its industry group and the standard setters. The Company does not expect any changes to how it accounts for reimbursements of pre-production costs, currently accounted for as a cost reduction. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate its contracts with customers analyzing the impact, if any, on revenue from the sale of production parts, particularly in regards to material rights, variable consideration and the impact of termination clauses on the timing of revenue recognition. The Company will adopt this standard January 1, 2018 and has selected the modified retrospective transition method for any impacts that might arise. Under the modified retrospective method, the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at the date of initial application. While the Company continues to evaluate a significant number of contracts with customers, the Company does not expect the cumulative adjustment to be material. As policy elections, the Company plans to exclude from revenue all value added tax ("VAT"), a consumption tax placed on certain products in countries outside the U.S. In addition, the Company will elect not to identify shipping and handling as a separate performance obligation.

In February 2016,November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 842).832) - Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance." to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of the types of assistance, an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The amendments in Topic 842 supersede current lease requirements in Topic 840 which require lessees to recognize most leases onthis update are effective for all entities within 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 ofscope for financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. This new guidance is effectiveissued for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early2021. The adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. While aimed at reducing the cost and complexity of the accounting for share-based payments, these amendments are not expected to significantly impact net income, earnings per share, and the statement of cash flows. This new guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has adopted an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur.

In August 2016, the 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 existing diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU will be 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 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on itsCompany’s condensed consolidated financial statements.


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 other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost 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 and interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

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

7



Table of Contents

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 modified on or after the adoption date. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features, (Part II)Replacement of the indefinite deferral for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of certain Nonpublic entities and certain mandatory Non-controlling interests with a scope exception." The amendments in Part I of this update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities." The ASU was created to better align accounting rules with a company’s risk management activities to better reflect the economic results of hedging in the financial statements; and simplify hedge accounting treatment. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

On July 8, 2016 Visteon acquired AllGo Embedded Systems Private Limited, a leading developer of embedded multimedia system solutions to global vehicle manufacturers, for a purchase price of $17 million ("AllGo Purchase") including $2 million of contingent consideration payable upon completion of certain technology milestones, achieved and paid on July 6, 2017. In addition, the purchase agreement includes contingent payments of $5 million if key employees remain employed through July 2019. The AllGo Purchase was a strategic acquisition to add greater scale and depth to the Company's infotainment software capabilities.

The AllGo Purchase was accounted for as a business combination, with the purchase price allocation reflecting the final valuation results, is shown below (dollars in millions):
Assets Acquired:  Liabilities Assumed: 
Accounts receivable$1
 Deferred tax liabilities$2
Intangible assets7
         Total liabilities assumed2
Goodwill11
   
        Total assets acquired$19
 Purchase price$17

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values based on management's estimates, available information, and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Additionally, the Company utilized a third-party to assist with certain estimates of fair values. Fair values for intangible assets were based on the income approach including excess earnings and relief from royalty methods. These fair value measurements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $11 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes; however, purchase accounting requires the establishment of deferred tax liabilities on the fair value increments related primarily to intangible assets that will be recognized as a future income tax benefit as the related assets are amortized.

The pro forma effects of the AllGo acquisitions does not materially impact the Company's reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial statements are presented.

NOTE 4. Discontinued Operations

NOTE 13.10. Income Taxes

During the three and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for income tax on continuing operations of $8 million and $34 million, respectively, which reflects income tax expense in countries where the Company is profitable;profitable, accrued withholding taxes; changes in uncertain tax benefits;taxes, and the inability to record a tax benefit for pretax losses and/or recognize expense for pretax income in certain jurisdictions, (includingincluding the United States ("U.S."), due to valuation allowances. PretaxPre-tax losses from continuing operations in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are maintained and no income tax benefits are recognized totaled
$13 $10 million and $38$11 million for the nine monthsthree month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2016,2021, respectively, resulting in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate in those years.

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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized expense primarily related to non-U.S. withholding taxes of $6 million and $3 million, respectively, 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 inCompany evaluates its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, butincome taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances 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 notrequired or should 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, 2016 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 12 to 24 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.adjusted.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, including amounts attributable to discontinued operations, were $17 million and $35 million, respectively. Of these amounts approximately $8 million and $12 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $3 million and $4 million, respectively.


During the first quarter of 2017, the IRS completed the audit of the Company's U.S. tax returns for the 2012 and 2013 tax years. The closing of the audit did not have a2022, there were no material impact on the Company's effective tax rate due to the valuation allowances maintained against the Company's U.S. tax attributes resultingchanges in a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of $16 million. Also during the first quarter of 2017, the Company settled tax assessments from the Mexican tax authorities in the amount of $2 million related to certain transfer pricing-related issues. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company settled tax assessments in connection with the Company’s former operations in Spain and France in the amount of $1 million.

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 second quarter of 2017, the IRS contacted the Company to begin the examination process 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$8 million is included in Otherother non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, while $3 million is reflected as a reduction of a deferred tax asset related to a net operating loss included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits including amounts attributable to discontinued operations is as follows:

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 $16 million, as of September 30, 2017. 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 Outstanding income tax refund claims associated with otherrelated primarily to India and Brazil jurisdictions, total $19$7 million as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, and are included in "Otherother non-current assets"assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 15.12. 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 computedcalculated 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 16.13. 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 NonrecurringRecurring 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 third quarter 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 $397 million and $389 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in currency exchange rates arising from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt, dividends, and market interest rates.investments in subsidiaries. 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 hedgeHedge 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.

ForeignCurrency 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. Rate Instruments: The Company primarily uses foreign currency derivative instruments, including forward contracts denominated in Euro, Japanese yen, Thai baht, Brazilian real, and option contracts,Mexican peso intended 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 Bhat and Mexican Peso.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the Company had foreign currency economic derivative instruments with aggregate notional valueamounts of approximately $133$33 million and $169$32 million, respectively.

Cross Currency Swaps: 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 loss of $1 million.

During 2015, the Company entered into cross currency swapshas executed cross-currency swap transactions intended to mitigate the variability of the U.S. dollar value of the Company'sits investment in certain of its non-U.S. entities. In April 2017, the Company terminated the cross currency swaps and received $5 million of proceeds upon settlement. There was no ineffectiveness associated with such derivatives at the time of the termination. The Company subsequently entered into new cross currency swap transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million.

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.value. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the Company would continue to negotiate in good faith with the Township, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, in the event that property tax payments waswere inadequate to permit the Township to meet its payment obligations with respect to the bonds. In September 2013,October 2019, the Township notified the Company in writing that it is estimatingthe Township had incurred a shortfall in tax revenuesunder the bonds of between $25less than $1 million and $36 million, which could render it unablerequested that the Company meet to satisfy its payment obligations under the bonds.discuss payment. The parties met in November 2019 but no agreement was reached. On May 12, 2015,December 9, 2019, the Township commenced a proceedinglitigation 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 MichiganMichigan’s Wayne County Circuit Court forclaiming damages of $28 million related to what the State of Michigan on July 2, 2015. The Township sought damages or, alternatively, declaratory judgment that, among other things,alleges to be the Company is responsiblecurrent shortfall and projected future shortfalls 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.bonds. The Company disputes the factual and legal assertions made by the Township and intends to vigorously defend the matter.matter vigorously. The Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter.

The Company is currently involved in disputes with its former President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy D. Leuliette. Mr. Leuliette filed an arbitration demand against the Company with the American Arbitration Association, alleging claims relating to the cessation of his employment. The Company subsequently filed a complaint against Mr. Leuliette in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, seeking to enjoin the arbitration and asserting additional claims. The federal litigation is currently stayed pending a ruling in the arbitration. The Company disputes the factual and legal assertions made by Mr. Leuliette, has asserted counterclaims against him in the arbitration, and, although there can be no assurances, the Company does not currently believe that the resolution of these disputes will have a material adverse impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

In November 2013, the Company and Halla Visteon Climate Control Corporation a Korean 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
18



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 at this timethe Company 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 ourits business, operating results and financial condition. The Company cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its own review of our 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 September 30, 2017, theThe Company maintained accruals of approximately $12 million and $4$10 million for claims aggregating approximately $57 million and $5$60 million in Brazil and Argentina, respectively.as of March 31, 2022. 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.

The adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant reduction in vehicle production in the first half of 2020, which was followed by increased consumer demand and vehicle production schedules in the second half of 2020, particularly in the fourth quarter. Because semiconductor suppliers have been unable to rapidly reallocate production to serve the automotive industry, the surge in demand has led to a worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. The Company's semiconductor suppliers, along with most automotive component supply companies that use semiconductors, have been unable to fully meet the vehicle production demands of our customers due to events which are outside the Company's control, including but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic, the global semiconductor shortage, a fire at a semiconductor fabrication facility in Japan, significant weather events impacting semiconductor supplier facilities in the southern United States, and other extraordinary events. The Company is working closely with suppliers and customers to attempt to minimize potential adverse impacts of these events. Certain customers have communicated that they expect the Company to absorb some of the financial impact of their reduced production and are reserving their rights to claim damages arising from supply shortages, however, the Company believes it has a number of legal defenses to such claims and intends to defend any such claims vigorously. The Company has also notified semiconductor suppliers that it will seek compensation from them for failure to deliver sufficient quantities. The Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in connection with this matter at this time.
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.

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.

Other Contingent Matters

The Company is actively negotiating the possible exit of a European facility that would involve contributing cash, inventory, and fixed assets to a third party.  The potential transaction is subject to governmental and legal approvals.  While the terms have yet to be finalized, the potential contribution includes cash and working capital ranging from $15 million to $20 million and long term assets of approximately $10 million to $15 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company did not meet the specific criteria necessary for the assets to be considered held for sale.


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; product liability claims; 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 paragraphparagraphs where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraphparagraphs 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 September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 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.


NOTE 18.15. Segment Information and Revenue Recognition


The Company’s single reportable segment is Electronics. The Company's Electronics segment provides vehicle cockpit electronics products to customers, including instrument clusters, information displays, infotainment systems, audio systems, telematics solutions, head-up displays, as well as battery monitoring systems. As the Company has 1 reportable segment, total assets, depreciation, amortization, and capital expenditures are equal to consolidated results.
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, Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAPnon-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as defined below), and operating assets.


The Company’s current reportable segment is Electronics. The Company's Electronics segment provides vehicle cockpit electronics products to customers, including audio systems, information displays, instrument clusters, head up displays, infotainment systems, and telematics solutions. Prior to 2017, the Company also had Other operations consisting primarily of South Africa and South America climate operations substantially exited during the fourth quarter of 2016. As the Company ceased Other operations in 2016, future legacy impacts will be associated with the Company's continuing Electronics operations.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA


The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuringnon-cash stock-based compensation expense, provision for income taxes, net interest expense, loss on debt extinguishment,net income attributable to non-controlling interests, restructuring and impairment expense, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, other net expense, provision for income taxes, discontinued operations, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, pension settlement gains, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.

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 U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a
20



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, theThe Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions (ii)and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies and (iii)strategies. In addition, the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants.

Global Automotive Market Conditions and Production Levels
The automotive industry has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing semiconductor shortage. In the first half of 2021, semiconductor supply was further impacted by a winter storm in Texas and a fire at the facility of a semiconductor supplier in Japan. In addition, COVID outbreaks in the middle of 2021 in Southeast Asia caused several back-end processing facilities that perform assembly and test of semiconductors to be negatively impacted. Industry vehicle volumes are expected to increase in 2022 due to strong consumer demand and historically low inventory levels at auto dealerships. However, vehicle production volumes will be negatively impacted due to on-going shortages of semiconductors, disruptions caused by the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe, and the recent COVID-19 related lockdowns in China. The magnitude of the impact on the financial statements and results of operations and cash flows will depend on the evolution of the semiconductor supply shortage, plant production schedules, and supply chain impacts.

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes of $34 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 represents an increase of $7 million when compared with $27 million in the same period of 2016. The increase in tax expense is attributable to several items including the year-over-year increase in earnings, as well as changes in the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions, withholding taxes, the non-recurrence of a $3 million discrete income tax benefit in connection with certain income tax incentives formally approved by the Portuguese tax authorities during the first quarter of 2016, and $2 million resulting from changes in assessments regarding the potential realization of deferred tax assets. These increases were partially offset by the year-over-year decrease for uncertain tax positions, including interest, of approximately $3 million.

Discontinued Operations

The operations subject to the Interiors Divestiture and Climate Transaction met conditions required to qualify for discontinued operations reporting. Accordingly, the results of operations for the Interiors and Climate businesses have been reclassified to income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The increase of $78 million includes discontinued operations impacts of $23 million, lower restructuring charges of $12 million, the non-recurrence of charges associated with the 2016 South Africa climate disposition of $11 million, lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $5 million, higher equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates of $3 million and gains on the sale of non-consolidated affiliates of $3 million. Gross margin improved $24 million including $17 million for electronics operations and $7 million related to the 2016 exit of the climate operations. These improvements were partially offset by higher income taxes of $7 million.
Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in Note 18) was $268 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, representing an increase of $27 million when compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $241 million for the same period of 2016. The increase includes $5 million from favorable volumes and net new business partially offset by product mix and $7 million related to other climate operations exited in 2016 . Foreign currency decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $1 million attributable to the Chinese Renminbi and Euro partially offset by the Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, and Brazilian Real. Net cost performance of $16 million includes material cost efficiencies, higher engineering recoveries, and lower selling, general and administrative costs, offset by unfavorable customer pricing reductions, higher manufacturing costs, and increased warranty costs.

Liquidity

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, and borrowings under available credit facilities, if necessary. Thefacilities. As we continue to evaluate ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic including the semiconductor supply shortage and other supply chain impacts, the Company believes that funds generated from these sources will be adequatecontinue to fundsufficiently sustain ongoing operations and support investment in differentiating technologies. The Company will continue to closely monitor its available liquidity for current businessand maintain access to additional liquidity to weather these challenging conditions. The Company's intra-year needs are normally impacted by seasonal effects in the industry, such as mid-year shutdowns, the ramp-up of new model production, and year-end shutdowns at key customers. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related semiconductor supply shortage may exacerbate the intra-year requirements.

A substantial portion of the Company's cash flows from operations are generated by operations located outside of the U.S.United States. Accordingly, the Company utilizes a combination of cash repatriation strategies, including dividends and distributions, royalties, intercompany loan arrangements and other distributions and advancesintercompany 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. OnAs of March 7, 2017,31, 2022, the Company’s corporate credit rating is Ba3 and BB- by Moody’s and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services upgraded the Company to 'BB', from 'BB-', with stable outlook. Moody's has reaffirmed the Company's credit rating of Ba3.Poor’s, respectively. See Note 118, "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 usedwhich may be utilized by the Company's local subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures. As of September 30, 2017, these linesventures, had availability of approximately $18 million.$150 million and the Company had $400 million of available credit under the revolving credit facility, as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants.

Cash Balances

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $735$405 million, including $3 million of restricted cash. Cash balances totaling $467$339 million were located in jurisdictions outside of the United States, of which approximately $195$115 million is considered permanently reinvested for funding ongoing operations outside of the U.S. If such permanently reinvested funds arewere repatriated to operations in 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. However, the Company would be required to accrue additional tax expense, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.

Other Items Affecting Liquidity

During 2017, the Company expects to make remaining payments of approximately $35 million related to the Germany interiors divestiture that closed on December 1, 2015. Also, as announced during the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects to incur restructuring costs to further align the Company's engineering and related administrative footprint with its core product technologies and customers. The Company estimates that it may incur up to $45 million in cumulative expenses to complete these actions of which $37 million has been expensed and $14 million has been paid since inception to date through September 30, 2017.

The Company is actively negotiating the possible exit of a European facility that may involve contributing cash working capital to the purchaser.  The estimated contribution includes cash and working capital ranging from $15 million to $20 million .

Management continually seeks to streamline the Company's operations and may incur additional restructuring charges in the future.

The Company is authorized to spend an additional $230 million to repurchase Visteon common stock pursuant to the $400 million share repurchase authorization, as discussed in Note 14, "Stockholders' Equity and Non-Controlling Interests" of the consolidated financial statements under Item 1.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, cash contributions to the Company's U.S. anddefined benefit plans were $1 million related to its non-U.S. plans. The Company estimates that total cash contributions to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan wereplans during 2022 will be $4 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company paid $5 million.million related to restructuring activities. Additional discussion regarding the Company's restructuring activities is included in Note 3, "Restructuring Activities." The Company expectsestimates that total cash restructuring payments during the next twelve months will be approximately $14 million.

The Company committed to make a $15 million investment in two funds managed by venture capital firms principally focused on the automotive sector pursuant to limited partnership agreements. As of March 31, 2022, the Company contributed $10 million toward the aggregate investment commitments. As a limited partner in each entity, the Company will periodically make capital contributions toward this total commitment amount.

The Company may be required to make significant cash contributionsoutlays related to its defined benefit pension plansunrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. As of $7 millionMarch 31, 2022, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, that would be expected to result in 2017.a cash outlay of $8 million. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the period of cash settlement, if any, with the respective taxing authorities.

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. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the net fair value of foreign currency forward and option contracts was a net liability of $4 million and less than $1 million, respectively. Maturities of these instruments generally do not exceed eighteen months.

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.

During 2015, the The Company entereddoes not enter into cross currency swap transactionsexchange rate contracts to mitigate the variability of the value of the Company's investment in certain non-U.S. entities. In April 2017, the Company terminated and received $5 million of proceeds upon settlement. There was no ineffectiveness associated with such derivatives at the time of the termination. The Company subsequently entered into new cross currency swap transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million. The transactions are designated as net investment hedges of certain of the Company's European affiliates. Accordingly, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the transactions are recognized in other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders' equity. There was no ineffectiveness associated with such derivatives as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the fair value of these derivatives was a liability of $19 million and an asset of $6 million, respectively.

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 $30 million and $31$29 million for foreign currency derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, 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 loans toinvestments in subsidiaries. AsBecause 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

The Company is subject to interest rate risk principally in relation to variable-rate debt. The Company uses financial derivative instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in accordance with its risk management policies. During 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk relatedSee Note 13, "Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments" to the variable rate interest payments of the Term Facility. In April 2017, the Company terminated these swaps and paid $1 million to settle the contracts.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company entered into new interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $150 million to effectively convert designated interest payments related to the amended Term Facility from variable to fixed cash flows. The maturities of these swaps do not exceed the underlying amended Term Facility. The instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and accordingly, the effective portion of the changescondensed consolidated financial statements included in the fair value of the swap transactions are initially recognized in other comprehensive income. Subsequently, the accumulated gains and losses recorded in equity are

reclassified to income in the period during which the hedged transaction impacts earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the swap transactions, if any, are recognized directly in income. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps was an asset of less than $1 million and a liability of $1 million, respectively. There has been no ineffectiveness associated with these derivatives.

The Company significantly reduced interest rate exposure after entering the swap transactions in 2015. The variable rate basis of debt is approximately 60% and 59% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Commodity Risk

The Company's exposures to market risk arising 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 determinedecide to utilize derivatives in the future.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.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Item 1A.Risk Factors
For information regarding factors that could affect the Company's resultsExcept as set forth below, as of operations, financial condition and liquidity, seeMarch 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the risk factors discussedthat were previously disclosed in Item 1A in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 17, 2022.

We are currently operating in a period of significant macro-economic uncertainty, including supply-chain disruptions and COVID-related lockdowns and increasing inflationary pressures and component costs. Although we have minimal operations in Russia, the conflict in Ukraine and the current COVID-related lockdowns in China are exacerbating component cost increases, supply chain challenges including the availability of natural resources used in production by our suppliers, and volatility with our customers’ production schedules. If the conflict in Ukraine continues for a lengthy period or spreads or the COVID-related lockdowns in China continue for a lengthy period or spread, it may have a materially negative impact on our business and results of operations.

The macro-economic uncertainty has been exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflict is highly unpredictable, it has exacerbated the availability, and volatility in prices, of commodities and components, inflationary pressures, credit markets, foreign exchange rates and supply chain disruptions. Furthermore, governments in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and European Union have each imposed financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. These sanctions include controls on the export, re-export, and in-country transfer in Russia of certain goods, supplies, and technologies, including some that we use in our business in Russia. Existing or additional sanctions could further adversely affect the global economy, lead to litigation related to compliance with such sanctions, or further disrupt the global supply chain. Inflation is also currently high world-wide and may continue for an unforeseen time.

The negative impact of the conflict in Ukraine and the current COVID lock-downs in China may exacerbate cost increases in raw material, transportation, energy, and commodities. Although we are negotiating with our customers with respect to these additional cost increases, commercial negotiations with our customers may not be successful or may not offset all of the adverse impact of higher transportation, energy and commodity costs. Additionally, even if we are successful with respect to negotiations with customers relating to cost increases, there may be delay before we recover any increased costs. These may have a material negative impact on our business and results of operations.
