Certain businesses are reported in discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and related notes for all periods presented. Additional information regarding discontinued operations is discussed in Note 5.
In the opinion of the company, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.2019. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of September 30, 20182019 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest September 30, and its fiscal quarters generally end on the Sundays nearest December 31, March 31 and June 30. The third quarter of fiscal years 20192020 and 20182019 ended on June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and July 1, 2018, respectively. Fiscal year 2019 ended on September 29, 2019. All year and quarter references relate to the company’s fiscal year and fiscal quarters, unless otherwise stated. For ease of presentation, September 30 and June 30 are used consistently throughout this report to represent the fiscal year end and third fiscal quarter end, respectively.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared a global health pandemic related to the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the company's financial performance in the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2020 and will continue to have an adverse impact for at least the remainder of fiscal year 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, government health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including shelter-in-place orders, prohibitions on public gatherings and other similar measures. As a result, the company and certain of the company's customers and suppliers temporarily closed select manufacturing locations beginning late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, continuing into the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. As of May 31, 2020, all of the company's global facilities were operating limited production. Most of the company’s salaried employees are working remotely until further notice. There is uncertainty around the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact it will have on the company's operations, supply chain and demand for its products. As a result, the ultimate impact on the company's business, financial condition or operating results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
2. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation includes the impact of dilutive common stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance share unit awards and convertible securities, if applicable.
A reconciliation of basic average common shares outstanding to diluted average common shares outstanding is as follows (in millions):

(1) The potential effect of 0.6 million restricted and performance shares and 0.7 million shares issuable upon conversion of our convertibles notes are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 because inclusion in a loss from continuing operations period would reduce the loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders.
In November 2018,2019, the Board of Directors approved a grant of performance share units to all executives eligible to participate in the long-term incentive plan. Each performance share unit represents the right to receive one1 share of common stock or its cash equivalent upon achievement of certain performance and time vesting criteria. The fair value of each performance share unit was $16.50,$25.25, which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2018.2019. The Board of Directors also approved a grant of 0.40.3 million restricted share units to these executives. The restricted share units vest at the earlier of three years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment with the company under certain circumstances. The fair value of each restricted share unit was $16.50,$25.25, which was the company's share price on the grant date of December 1, 2018.2019.
The actual number of performance share units that will vest depends upon the company’s performance relative to the established performance metrics for the three-yearthree-year performance period of October 1, 20182019 to September 30, 2021,2022, measured at the end of the performance period. The number of performance share units that vest will depend on adjusted EBITDA margin, new business wins, free cash flow conversion and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations which are all weighted at the following weights: 50% associated with achieving an adjusted EBITDA

In November 2015, the Board of Directors approved a grant of performance share units to all executives eligible to participate in the long-term incentive plan. Each performance share unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock or its cash equivalent upon achievement of certain performance and time vesting criteria. The fair value of each performance share unit was $10.51, which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2015. The Board of Directors also approved a grant of 0.5 million restricted share units to these executives. The restricted share units vest at the earlier of three years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment with the company under certain circumstances. The fair value of each restricted share unit was $10.51, which was the company's share price on the grant date of December 1, 2015.
The actual number of performance share units that vested depended upon the company’s performance relative to the established performance metrics for the three-year performance period of October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2018, which was measured at the end of the performance period.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the dilutive impact of previously issued restricted shares, restricted share units and performance share units was 1.7 million and 2.1 million shares, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, the dilutive impact of previously issued restricted shares, restricted share units and performance share units was 1.7 million and 2.1 million shares, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, compensation cost related to restricted shares, restricted share units and performance share units was $5 million and $13 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, compensation cost related to restricted shares, restricted share units and performance share units was $4 million and $14 million, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, 0.9 million and 0.8 million shares, respectively, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the company's average stock price during these periods exceeded the conversion price for the 7.875 percent convertible notes due 2026. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, 0.9 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the company's average stock price during these periods exceeded the conversion price for the 7.875 percent convertible notes due 2026.
3. New Accounting Standards
Accounting standards implemented during fiscal year 20192020
In May 2014,On October 1, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issuedcompany implemented Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, followed by various related amendments (ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, ASU 2017-05, ASU 2017-06, ASU 2017-13, and ASU 2017-14) collectively referred to as "Topic 606", which requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service and requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts.2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The company elected the practical expedient package which allowed the company to not reassess whether existing contracts contain a lease and to not reassess classification of existing leases. The company also adopted Topic 606ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, electing to not separate lease and non-lease components in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018.contracts that contain both and electing to not restate comparative periods when adopting ASU 2016-02. As a result, the company has changed its accounting policyrecognized a right-of-use asset and lease liability as a lessee for revenue recognition as detailed below.

The company applied Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach (i.e., by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at October 1, 2018). Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 605. There was no adjustment to the opening balance of equity at October 1, 2018 as there was no significant impact to previously recorded revenue or expense. The guidance has been applied tosubstantially all existing contracts at the date of initial application. The adoption of Topic 606 had an immaterial impact on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations,operating leases and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows but did require enhanced disclosures to meet thehas included new disclosure requirements; those enhanced disclosures are included inand expanded disclosures. (See Note 4.

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 guidance requires entities to only include the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in operating expenses (together with other employee compensation costs). The other components of net benefit cost, including amortization of prior service cost/credit, are to be included in a separate line item(s) outside of any sub-total of operating income. ASU 2017-07 also provides guidance that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. The revisions in this amendment

MERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


are to 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 capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Amounts previously reflected in Operating Income were reclassified to Other income (expense) in accordance with the provisions of ASU 2017-07. Refer to Note 20 for amounts that were reclassified.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU result from the FASB’s standing project to address suggestions on the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and to make other incremental improvements to GAAP. The amendments include changes to clarify the ASC or correct unintended application of guidance that is not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.

Some of the amendments in this ASU were effective upon issuance. Others have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities, or are conforming amendments that have been made to recently issued guidance that is not yet effective that may require application of the transition and effective date guidance in the original ASU.

The company adopted certain amendments in this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Those certain amendments had effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, for public business entities. The amendments that were adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 did not have a material impact on the company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The company plans to implement the remaining amendments beginning October 1, 2019 and is currently evaluating the potential impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The company also adopted the following ASUs during fiscal year 2019, none of which had a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or financial statement disclosures:

Accounting standards to be implemented
The following represent the standards that may result in a significant change in practice and/or have a significant financial impact on the company.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The update will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for substantially all leases. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.

MERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


The company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019, and is currently assessing the potential impact of this guidance on its accounting policies and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The company plans to implement this standard using the additional and optional transition method as provided by ASU 2018-11. Please see discussion of ASU 2018-11 below.

In June 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including accounts receivable. The ASU also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The amendments in this update are required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its accounting policies and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The guidance in ASU 2018-02 allows an entity to elect to reclassify the stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("U.S. tax reform") from accumulated other comprehensive income into retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842. The amendments in this ASU affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for this ASU are the same as those for ASU 2016-02 as described above. Therefore, the company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019 in connection with its planned implementation of ASU 2016-02 and is currently assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its accounting policies and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is not yet effective. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments also provide lessors with a practical expedient to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component in certain circumstances. The effective date for this ASU are the same as those for ASU 2016-02 as described above. Therefore, the company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019 in connection with its planned implementation of ASU 2016-02 and is currently assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its accounting policies and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU add, modify, and eliminate certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. Others should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its accounting policies and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU affect a variety of Topics in the Codification (ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments; and ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities).

For the amendments in this ASU that are applicable to ASU 2016-01, which Meritor has adopted, the effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption permitted. For the amendments in this ASU that are applicable to ASU 2016-13, which Meritor has not yet adopted, the effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. For the amendments in this ASU that
10

are applicable to ASU 2017-12, which Meritor has adopted, the effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted. The company has not yet adopted any of these amendments and is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. Revenue
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled, and is presented net of any estimates of customer sales allowances, incentives, rebates, and returns. The company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost, as opposed to a distinct performance obligation, and are included in cost of sales.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a description of principal activities - separated by reportable segments - from which the company generates its revenue.

The Commercial Truck segment supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines and braking and suspension systems, primarily for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and other applications in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. This segment also includes the company's aftermarket businesses in Asia Pacific and South America.

The Aftermarket, Industrial and Trailer segment supplies axles, brakes, drivelines, suspension parts and other replacement parts to commercial vehicle and industrial aftermarket customers, primarily in North America and Europe. In addition, this segment supplies drivetrain systems and certain components, including axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems for military, construction, bus and coach, fire and emergency and other applications in North America and Europe. It also supplies a variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications in North America.

Although the company may enter into long-term supply arrangements with its major customers, the prices and volumes are not fixed over the term of the arrangements and a contract does not exist under the scope of Topic 606 until prices and volumes are known. As such, individual customer releases or purchase orders represent the contract with the customer.

The company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct (i.e., if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer). The company has identified certain performance obligations related to brake pad fitting and axle dressing where it is acting as an agent and, therefore, recognizes revenue on a net basis for satisfaction of those performance obligations.

The company recognizes revenue for the sale of goods at the point in time when the customer takes control of the goods. As such, revenue is recognized upon shipment of product and transfer of ownership to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the purchase order price and adjusted for variable consideration (i.e., customer sales allowances, incentives, rebates, and returns). Provisions for customer sales allowances, incentives, rebates, and returns are recorded as a reduction of sales at the time of revenue recognition based primarily on historical experience. The company’s payment terms with customers are customary and vary by customer and geography but typically range from 30 to 90 days.

The company provides warranties on some of its products. The company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of shipment of products to customers (see Note 16 and Note 17).

The company’s lease portfolio is comprised of leases of real estate, including manufacturing and office facilities, and leases of personal property, including machinery and equipment and IT equipment. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the company forCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease costs and variable lease costs were insignificant in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily2020.

For all asset classes, the company has elected to adopt the practical expedient under ASC 842 to not separate lease and non-lease components in contracts that contain both. These lease agreements are accounted for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. The company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As the discount rate implicit in the lease is typically unknown, the discount rate used to determine the lease liability for the majority of our leases is the collateralized incremental borrowing rate in the applicable geographic area for a similar term and amount as the lease agreement.

6. Goodwill
In accordance with ASC Topic 350-20, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other," goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more frequently if certain indicators arise. If business conditions or other factors cause the operating results and cash flows of a reporting unit to decline, the company may be required to record impairment charges for goodwill at that time.
The company tests goodwill for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit, which is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. When two or more components of an operating segment have similar economic characteristics, the components are aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit. An operating segment is deemed to be a reporting unit if all of its components are similar, if none of its components are a reporting unit, or if the segment comprises only a single component.
Acquisition of AA Gear & Manufacturing, Inc. Business
On April 30, 2018, the company acquired substantially all of the assets of AA Gear & Manufacturing, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("AAG") for a cash purchase price of approximately $35 million. The AAG acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The company recorded goodwill in the amount of $12 million for the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This recorded goodwill consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the company and AAG. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Aftermarket, Industrial and Trailer reportable segment. All goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over the next 15 years.
Realignment of Reporting Units
As discussed in Note 23,22, the company realigned its operations in the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2019,2020, resulting in a change to its reportable segments. The company’s reporting units did not change asAs a result of the change in reportable segments.segments, the company’s reporting units changed.

Global Restructuring Program Fiscal Year 2020: On June 2, 2020, the company approved and began executing a restructuring plan to reduce labor costs and align with current market forecasts. Under this program, the company expects to incur approximately $25 million in employee severance costs that affects approximately 8-percent of its global salaried positions, and will eliminate certain hourly roles. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the company incurred $10 million in restructuring costs related to this program of which $7 million was in the Commercial Truck segment and $3 million related to the Aftermarket and Industrial segment. Restructuring actions associated with this plan are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.

Global Restructuring Programs Fiscal Year 2019: On September 27, 2019, the company approved and began executing a restructuring plan to reduce salaried and hourly headcount globally. This restructuring plan is intended to reduce labor costs in response to anticipated volume declines, primarily in the global truck and trailer market. With this program, the company expects to incur approximately $26 million of restructuring costs, primarily severance, across both of its reportable segments.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the company incurred $1 million in restructuring costs in the Commercial Truck segment. The total severance costs incurred for this plan are $20 million as of the end of the third quarter for fiscal year 2020, of which $13 million was incurred in fiscal year 2020 and $7 million was incurred in fiscal year 2019. Restructuring actions associated with this plan are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.
8. Income Taxes
For each interim reporting period, the company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740-270, "Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods." The rate so determined is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or an actual year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Income tax expense (benefit) is allocated among continuing operations, discontinued operations and other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Such allocation is applied by tax jurisdiction, and in periods in which there is a pre-tax loss from continuing

MERITOR, INC.

operations and pre-tax income in another category, such as discontinued operations or OCI, income tax expense is allocated to the other sources of income, with a related benefit recorded in continuing operations.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the U.S. tax reform. The U.S. tax reform made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that affected the company's fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate and requiring a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The U.S. tax reform reduced the federal corporate tax rate to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018.

The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the U.S. tax reform. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the U.S. tax reform enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the U.S. tax reform for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the U.S. tax reform is incomplete but the company is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the U.S. tax reform.

Specifically, the company included discrete tax expense in its first quarter financial statements for fiscal year 2018 related to provisional amounts under SAB 118 for the impact of the revaluation of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the federal income tax rate reduction from 35 percent to 21 percent. Additionally, the company estimated its liability and included provisional amounts for the one-time transition tax as a discrete tax expense. The company will elect to offset the liability associated with this transition tax by utilizing foreign tax credit carryovers. The revaluation of the deferred tax assets and the transition tax resulted in a non-cash charge of $77 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, a $7 million income tax net benefit was recorded which consists of an income tax benefit of $11 million for refinement of the transition tax and $4 million income tax expense for refinement of other adjustments. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, a $2 million income tax benefit was recored to these other adjustments.

Tax expense related to the transition tax and rate change on net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2018 is now considered complete under SAB 118. Additionally, as of December 31, 2018, the company has accounted for the tax impacts related to the Global Intangible Low Tax Income ("GILTI"), Base Erosion Anti Abuse Tax ("BEAT") and Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") regimes as well as all other provisions of the U.S. tax reform that are effective in fiscal year 2019. The company has elected to treat GILTI as a period cost and, therefore, has not recognized deferred taxes for basis differences that may reverse as GILTI tax in future periods.

In evaluating the ability to recover its net deferred tax assets, the company utilizes a consistent approach which considers its historical operating results, including an assessment of the degree to which any gains or losses are driven by items that are unusual in nature, and tax planning strategies. In addition, the company reviews changes in near-term market conditions and other factors that impact future operating results. In fiscal year 2018, after sustained profitability and improved market conditions, the valuation allowance in Brazil was reversed. As of June 30, 2019,2020, the company continues to maintain the valuation allowances in France, Germany, the U.K., and certain other jurisdictions, as the company believes the negative evidence that it will be able to recover these net deferred tax assets continues to outweigh the positive evidence. If, in the future, the company generates taxable income on a sustained basis, its conclusion regarding the need for valuation allowances in these jurisdictions could change.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which includes various income and payroll tax provisions, was signed into law by the U.S. government. In addition, various other coronavirus tax relief initiatives have been implemented around the world. As of the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, these tax initiatives did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019,2020, the company had approximately $4$6 million of net pre-tax incomeloss compared to $7$4 million, of net pre-tax income in the same period in fiscal year 20182019 in tax jurisdictions in which tax expense (benefit) is not recorded. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the company had approximately $1 million of net pre-tax loss compared to $12 million of net pre-tax income in the same period in fiscal year 2019 in tax jurisdictions in which tax expense (benefit) is not recorded.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the company had approximately $12 million of net pre-tax income compared to $20 million of net pre-tax income in the same period in fiscal year 2018 in tax jurisdictions in which tax expense (benefit) is not recorded.
9. Acquisition and Divestiture

The amounts of revenue and earnings, fair value of identifiable net assets and related goodwill of AxleTech are unavailable and will be disclosed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.

Additionally, on July 29, 2019, the company approved a restructuring plan related to the integration of its acquisition of AxleTech. This restructuring plan is intended to realize certain targeted synergies following the acquisition, primarily from the elimination of cost overlap. With this restructuring plan, the Company expects to incur $11 million of total costs in the Aftermarket, Industrial and Trailer segment with approximately $7 million related to employee severance charges and approximately $4 million related to lease termination costs. Restructuring associated with severance actions are expected to be substantially completed by fiscal year 2020. The lease term expires in fiscal year 2023.

Acquisition of AAG Business

On April 30, 2018, the company acquired substantially all of the assets of AAG for a cash purchase price of approximately $35 million. AAG provides low-to-medium volume batch manufacturing for complex gear and shaft applications, as well as quick-turnaround prototyping solutions and emergency plant support. The AAG acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

As of June 30, 2019, the company finalized all measurement period adjustments related to the AAG acquisition. Since completion of initial estimates in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018,2019, the company has recorded $1 million in measurement period adjustments to decrease the provisional fair value of receivables, inventory and other assets acquired in the AxleTech transaction, resulting in a $4 million decrease to finite lived intangible assets, acorresponding $1 million increase to accounts receivable and a $3 million increase toin goodwill.

On-balance sheet arrangement
U.S. Securitization Facility: The company's U.S. accounts receivables securitization facility with PNC Bank is subject to a maximum permitted priority debt-to-EBITDA ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter under the facility of 2.25 to 1.00. Under this program, the company has the ability to sell an undivided percentage ownership interest in substantially all of its trade receivables (excluding the receivables due from AB Volvo and subsidiaries eligible for sale under the U.S. accounts receivable factoring facility) of certain U.S. subsidiaries to ArvinMeritor Receivables Corporation ("ARC"), a wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary. ARC funds these purchases with borrowings from participating lenders under a loan agreement. This program also includes a letter of credit facility pursuant to which ARC may request the issuance of letters of credit issued for the company’s U.S. subsidiaries (originators) or their designees, which when issued will constitute a utilization of the facility for the amount of letters of credit issued. Amounts outstanding under this agreement are collateralized by eligible receivables purchased by ARC and are reported as short-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This securitization program contains a cross default to the company's revolving credit facility. At certain times during any given month, the company may sell eligible accounts receivable under this program to fund intra-month working capital needs. In such months, the company would then typically utilize the cash received from customers throughout the month to repay the borrowings under the program. Accordingly, during any given month, the company may borrow under this program amounts exceeding the amounts shown as outstanding at fiscal quarter ends.

The availability under the revolving credit facility is dependent upon various factors, including performance against certain financial covenants as highlighted below.
The availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants based on the ratio of the company’s priority debt (consisting principally of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, the U.S. accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs, and third-party non-working capital foreign debt) to EBITDA.

This facility contained covenants and events of default generally similar to those existing in the company’s public debt indentures. There were $1 million of letters of credit outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2018. On March 20, 2019, the company allowed this facility to expire.

These programs are common in China and generally require the participation of local banks. Under these programs, the company's joint venture issues notes payable through the participating banks to its trade suppliers. If the issued notes payable remain unpaid on their respective due dates, this could constitute an event of default under the company’s revolving credit facility if the defaulted amount exceeds $35 million per bank. As of June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018,2019, the company had $25$21 million and $22$30 million, respectively, outstanding under this program at more than one bank.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
 
Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related instrument.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the valuation. The company's assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

No transfers of assets between any of the Levels occurred during the three and nine months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019.
Cash and cash equivalents All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 or September 30, 2018.
 Short- and long-term debt — Fair values are based on transaction prices at public exchange for publicly traded debt. For debt instruments that are not publicly traded, fair values are based on interest rates that would be currently available to the company for issuance of similar types of debt instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Foreign exchange forward contracts — The company uses foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts with terms of 18 months or less to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As of June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018,2019, the notional amount of the company's foreign exchange contracts outstanding under its foreign currency cash flow hedging program was $118$38 million and $154$110 million, respectively. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is based on a model which incorporates observable inputs including quoted spot rates, forward exchange rates and discounted future expected cash flows utilizing market interest rates with similar quality and maturity characteristics. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive LossIncome (Loss) in the statement of shareholders’ equity and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings.
Foreign currency option contracts — The company uses option contracts to mitigate foreign exchange exposure on expected future Indian Rupee-denominatedforeign currency-denominated purchases. As of June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018,2019, the notional amount of the company's Indian rupee foreign exchange contracts outstanding was $114$70 million and $180$139 million, respectively.

21.20. Contingencies
Environmental
 Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities affecting the environment have, and will continue to have, an impact on the operations of the company. The process of estimating environmental liabilities is complex and dependent upon evolving physical and scientific data at the sites, uncertainties as to remedies and technologies to be used and the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies. The company records liabilities for environmental issues in the accounting period in which they are considered to be probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identified, the company records a liability for its allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site, as well as an allocable share of costs related to insolvent parties or unidentified shares. At environmental sites in which Meritor is the only potentially responsible

party, the company records a liability for the total probable and estimable costs of remediation before consideration of recovery from insurers or other third parties.
The company has been designated as a potentially responsible party at ten10 Superfund sites, excluding sites as to which the company’s records disclose no involvement or as to which the company’s liability has been finally determined. Superfund is a United States federal government program designed to fund the cleanup of sites contaminated with hazardous substances and pollutants. Management estimates the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur for the remediation of the ten10 Superfund sites at June 30, 20192020 to be approximately $23$25 million, of which $11$12 million is probable and recorded as a liability. Included in reasonably possible amounts are estimates for certain remediation actions that may be required if current actions are deemed inadequate by the regulators.
In addition to the Superfund sites, various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been asserted against the company, alleging violations of federal, state and local environmental protection requirements, or seeking remediation of alleged environmental impairments, principally at previously disposed-of properties. For these matters, management has estimated the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur at June 30, 20192020 to be approximately $13$14 million, of which $4 million is probable and recorded as a liability.
Included in the company’s environmental liabilities are costs for on-going operation, maintenance and monitoring at environmental sites in which remediation has been put into place. This liability is discounted using discount rates in the range of 2.251.50 to 3.002.25 percent and is approximately $13$14 million at June 30, 2019.2020. The undiscounted estimate of these costs is approximately $14$15 million.
The following are the components of the Superfund and non-Superfund environmental reserves (in millions):

Environmental reserves are included in Other Current Liabilities (see Note 16)15) and Other Liabilities (see Note 17)16) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The actual amount of costs or damages for which the company may be held responsible could materially exceed the foregoing estimates because of uncertainties, including the financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, the success of the remediation, discovery of new contamination and other factors that make it difficult to predict actual costs accurately. However, based on management’s assessment, after consulting with outside advisors that specialize in environmental matters, and subject to the difficulties inherent in estimating these future costs, the company believes that its expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection and other expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims will not have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, in future periods, new laws and regulations, changes in remediation plans, advances in technology and additional information about the ultimate clean-up remedies could significantly change the company’s estimates. Management cannot assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements.

In April 2016, the company was served with several complaints filed against the company and other defendants in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. The complaints were amended in July 2016. These complaints allege damages, including diminution of property value, concealment/fraud and emotional distress resulting from alleged environmental pollution in and around a neighborhood in Grenada, Mississippi. Rockwell owned and operated a facility near the neighborhood from 1965 to 1985. The company filed answers to the complaints in July 2016. In May 2017, the company was served with a complaint filed against the company and other defendants by the Mississippi Attorney General in the Chancery Court of Grenada County, Mississippi. The complaint alleges that operations at the above-referenced Grenada facility caused contamination of off-site groundwater and surface waters. Subsequently, the company removed this action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. However, plaintiffs’ motion to remand the case to the Chancery Court was granted in March 2018. In April, May and July 2018, the company was served with additional property damage, personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits naming the company and others as defendants, which were brought by current and former residents of the same neighborhood. The company entered into settlement negotiations with plaintiffs and recorded an accrual in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.
Asbestos
     Maremont Corporation ("Maremont"), a subsidiary of Meritor, manufactured friction products containing asbestos from 1953 through 1977, when it sold its friction product business. Arvin Industries, Inc., a predecessor of the company, acquired Maremont in 1986. Maremont and many other companies are defendants in suits brought by individuals claiming personal injuries as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products.
Maremont had approximately 1,700 pending asbestos-related claims at September 30, 2018. Although Maremont has been named in these cases, in the cases where actual injury has been alleged, very few claimants have established that a Maremont product caused their injuries. Plaintiffs’ lawyers often sue dozens or even hundreds of defendants in individual lawsuits, seeking damages against all named defendants irrespective of the disease or injury and irrespective of any causal connection with a particular product. For these reasons, the total number of claims filed is not necessarily the most meaningful factor in determining Maremont's asbestos-related liability.
Maremont Bankruptcy Filing: In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, Maremont and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Maremont Exhaust Products, Inc., AVM, Inc., and Former Ride Control Operating Company, Inc., began to solicit votes from asbestos claimants in favor of a Joint Pre-Packaged Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"). On January 18, 2019, the Plan was approved by voting asbestos claimants and, on January 22, 2019, Maremont and its subsidiaries voluntarily filed cases under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking to implement the Plan through the Chapter 11 cases. Among other things, the Plan was intended to permanently resolve all current and future asbestos claims related to Maremont's historical asbestos-related activities through the creation of a trust pursuant to Section 524(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "524(g) Trust"). Meritor determined that the net amount of $51 million Maremont would be required to contribute to the 524(g) Trust according to the Plan represented Meritor's best estimate of Maremont's net asbestos liability. As a result, Meritor recognized $31 million of income related to remeasuring the Maremont net asbestos liability based on the terms of the Plan.
In the second quarterAs of fiscalJanuary 22, 2019, Maremont and its subsidiaries were deconsolidated from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of the company as of January 22, 2019 and the results of Maremont’sMaremont's operations were eliminated from the company’s consolidated resultsCondensed Consolidated Statement of operations beginning on that dateOperations as Maremont became subject to the control of a court. Deconsolidation had an insignificant impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. On a prospective basis, the company accounts for its investment in Maremont under the cost method. The fair value of this investment was zero at the date of deconsolidation. The company recorded $48 million in Other Current Liabilities, which represented Meritor’s best estimate of the contribution of cash and repayment of a loan to Maremont following Plan confirmation.
The Plan was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on May 17, 2019 and approved by the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on June 27, 2019. On July 9, 2019, the company contributed cash and repaid a loan to Maremont and Maremont funded the 524(g) Trust with such cash and its other assets, including its existing insurance policies. As a result, all current and future asbestos claims related to the Maremont’s historical asbestos-related activities have been channeled to the 524(g) Trust, which will process and satisfy all such claims going forward pursuant to its resolution and payment procedures.
Pending and Future Claims as of September 2018: Previously, Maremont engaged a third-party advisor with extensive experience in assessing asbestos-related liabilities to conduct a study to estimate its potential undiscounted liability for pending and future asbestos-related claims. Management continuously monitored the underlying claims data and experience, for the purpose of assessing the appropriateness of the assumptions used to estimate the liability.

As of September 30, 2018, the estimated range of equally likely possibilities of Maremont’s obligation for asbestos-related claims over the next 41 years was $107 million to $195 million. Based on the information contained in the actuarial study, and all other available information considered, Maremont concluded that no amount within the range of potential liability was more likely than any other and, therefore, recorded a liability at the low end of the range. Maremont recognized a liability for pending and future claims over the next 41 years of $107 million as of September 30, 2018.
Recoveries as of September 2018: Maremont had historically had insurance that reimburses a meaningful portion of the costs incurred defending against asbestos-related claims. The expected insurance receivable related to future asbestos-related liabilities was $24 million as of September 30, 2018.
    Rockwell International Corporation ("Rockwell") — ArvinMeritor, Inc. ("AM"), a predecessor of Meritor, along with many other companies, has also been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos used in certain components of Rockwell products many years ago. Liability for these claims was transferred at the time of the spin-off of the automotive business from Rockwell in 1997. There were approximately 1,400 pending active asbestos claims in lawsuits that name AM, together with many other companies, as defendants at June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018.2019.
A significant portion of the claims do not identify any Rockwell products or specify which of the claimants, if any, were exposed to asbestos attributable to Rockwell products, and past experience has shown that the vast majority of the claimants will likely never identify any of Rockwell products. Historically, AM has been dismissed from the vast majority of similar claims filed in the past with no payment to claimants. For those claimants who do show that they worked with Rockwell products, management nevertheless believes it has meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to the integrity of the products involved and the lack of any impairing medical condition on the part of many claimants.

claims as of September 30, 2018.2019. Management continuously monitors the underlying claims data and experience for the purpose of assessing the appropriateness of the assumptions used to estimate the liability.

As of September 30, 2018,2019, the estimated probable range of equally likely possibilities of the company’s obligation for asbestos-related claims over the next 4140 years is $103was $91 million to $186$181 million. Based on the information contained in the actuarial study, and all other available information considered, management concluded that no amount within the range of potential liability was more likely than any other and, therefore, recorded a liability at the low end of the range. The company recognized a liability for pending and future claims over the next 4140 years of $100$86 million as of June 30, 20192020 and $103$91 million as of September 30, 2018.2019.

Recoveries: AM has insurance coverage that management believes covers indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insurance retentions, for a significant portion of these claims. The insurance receivables for Rockwell asbestos-related liabilities totaled $65$59 million and $68$61 million as of June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018,2019, respectively.

The amounts recorded for the asbestos-related reserves and recoveries from insurance companies are based upon assumptions and estimates derived from currently known facts. All such estimates of liabilities and recoveries for asbestos-related claims are subject to considerable uncertainty because such liabilities and recoveries are influenced by variables that are difficult to predict. The future litigation environment for Rockwell could change significantly from its past experience, due, for example, to changes in the mix of claims filed against Rockwell in terms of plaintiffs’ law firm, jurisdiction and disease; legislative or regulatory developments; the company’s approach to defending claims; or payments to plaintiffs from other defendants. Estimated recoveries are influenced by coverage issues among insurers and the continuing solvency of various insurance companies. If the assumptions with respect to the estimation period, the nature of pending claims, the cost to resolve claims and the amount of available insurance prove to be incorrect, the actual amount of liability for Rockwell asbestos-related claims, and the effect on the company, could differ materially from current estimates and, therefore, could have a material impact on the company’s financial condition and results of operations.

IndemnificationsIndemnification
The company has provided indemnities in conjunction with certain transactions, primarily divestitures. These indemnities address a variety of matters, which may include environmental, tax, asbestos and employment-related matters, and the periods of indemnification vary in duration.
The company is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnification obligations.

Although the outcome of other litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the company, management believes the disposition of matters that are pending will not have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

23.22. Business Segment Information
The company defines its operating segments as components of its business where separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer.
In the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2019,2020, the company realigned its operations resulting in a change to its operating and reportable segments. As of the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2019,2020, the reportable segments are (1) Commercial Truck and (2) Aftermarket Industrial and Trailer.Industrial. Prior year reportable segment financial results have been recast for these changes.
The company has two2 reportable segments at June 30, 2019,2020, as follows:
The Commercial Truck segment supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines and braking and suspension systems, primarily for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and other applications in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. This segment also includes the company's
The Commercial Truck segment supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines and braking and suspension systems, primarily for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and other applications in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. It also supplies a variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications in North America. This segment includes our aftermarket businesses in Asia Pacific and South America.
The Aftermarket, Industrial and Trailer segment supplies axles, brakes, drivelines, suspension parts and other replacement parts to commercial vehicle and industrial aftermarket customers, primarily in North America and Europe. In addition, this segment supplies drivetrain systems and certain components, including axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems for military, construction, bus and coach, fire and emergency and other applications in North America and Europe. It also supplies a variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications in North America.

The Aftermarket and Industrial segment supplies axles, brakes, drivelines, suspension parts and other replacement parts to commercial vehicle and industrial aftermarket customers, primarily in North America and Europe. In addition, this segment supplies drivetrain systems and certain components, including axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems for military, construction, bus and coach, fire and emergency and other applications in North America and Europe.
Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expense, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated legacy and corporate income (expense), net. The company uses segment adjusted EBITDA as the primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of its reportable segments.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those applied in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the use of segment adjusted EBITDA. The company may allocate certain common costs, primarily corporate functions,

between the segments differently than the company would for stand alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These allocated costs include expenses for shared services such as information technology, finance, communications, legal and human resources. The company does not allocate interest expense and certain legacy and other corporate costs not directly associated with the segment.

MERITOR, INC.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
Meritor, Inc. (the "company," "our," "we" or "Meritor"), headquartered in Troy, Michigan, is a premier global supplier of a broad range of integrated systems, modules and components to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and the aftermarket for the commercial vehicle, transportation and industrial sectors. The company serves commercial truck, trailer, military, bus and coach, construction, and other industrial OEMs and certain aftermarkets. Meritor common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MTOR.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared a global health pandemic related to the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected our financial performance in the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2020 and will continue to have an adverse impact for at least the remainder of fiscal year 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, government health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including shelter-in-place orders, prohibitions on public gatherings and other similar measures. As a result, we and certain of our customers and suppliers temporarily closed select manufacturing locations beginning late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, continuing into the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. As of May 31, 2020, all of our global facilities were operating limited production. Most of our salaried employees are working remotely until further notice. There is uncertainty around the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact it will have on our operations, supply chain and demand for our products. As a result, the ultimate impact on our business, financial condition or operating results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Employee Health and Safety

We established and executed a “Safe Start” plan for the reopening of plants, test labs, distribution centers and administrative facilities. We intend to operate under these enhanced safety guidelines for the foreseeable future. To ensure consistent application and compliance with these safety protocols, we have expanded the role of our Vice President and General Auditor to include responsibilities as Chief Safety Compliance Officer.
Operations

We are complying with shelter-in-place and similar government orders in various locations around the world, as applicable. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic led to suspended production in most of our global commercial truck manufacturing facilities beginning late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 and continuing into the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. All of our operations are now running limited production. Our operations in China were temporarily suspended in mid-January and resumed production in mid-February and are now fully operational.

As we also serve the transportation, industrial and defense industries, we also continued to support customers who are actively engaged in the COVID-19 pandemic response. Our Aftermarket business remained fully operational to maintain the supply of critical replacement parts to the vital truck and trailer transportation network. Our Industrial businesses also remained operational at varying levels to support the production of vehicles deemed critical, including defense, bus and coach, terminal tractor, fire and rescue and off-highway applications. We will continue to monitor government and other mandates to understand the potential impact on our operations in other areas.

Cost Reductions

In March 2020, we implemented a series of cost reduction measures to preserve our financial flexibility, including a reduction to the base salary of each of our executive officers and salaried employees in the United States and Canada of between 40 percent and 60 percent effective April 1 through April 30, 2020, a reduction between 20 percent and 60 percent effective May 1, 2020 through June 15, 2020 and a reduction between 10 percent and 20 percent effective June 16, 2020. We also suspended certain employer-paid retirement and pension contributions and modified certain retiree health benefits effective May 1, 2020. Additionally, on June 2, 2020, we approved a restructuring plan to reduce headcount globally that affects approximately eight-percent of our global salaried positions, as well as eliminated certain hourly roles. This restructuring plan is intended to reduce labor costs in response to an anticipated decline in most global truck and trailer market volumes. With this restructuring plan, we expect to incur approximately $25 million in employee severance costs across both of our reportable segments. Restructuring actions associated with this plan are expected to be substantially complete by the end of first quarter of fiscal year 2021. We will continue to evaluate further cost reduction measures as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic becomes clearer.

MERITOR, INC.
Special Incentive Plan

On June 10, 2020, we approved a special incentive plan to better align the compensation of our employees with the strategic goals of the company for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 given the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Awards under the special incentive plan are also designed to give employees an opportunity, if certain performance targets are met, to recoup lost salary stemming from the base pay reductions instituted by us in response to the pandemic, which are expected to remain partially reduced through at least the end of fiscal year 2020. The special incentive plan targets are based on liquidity and cost reduction targets.

3rd Quarter Fiscal Year 20192020 Results
Our sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 20192020 were $514 million, compared to $1,166 million an increasein the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 56 percent year over year. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower market volumes driven by decreased customer demand and government mandates as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of the company's manufacturing facilities were idled during the month of April with production increasing throughout the remainder of the quarter.
Net loss attributable to Meritor for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 was $36 million compared to $1,129net income attributable to Meritor of $86 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales was driven by higher truck production, primarily in North America, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most currencies.
Net income attributable to Meritor for the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 was $86 million compared to $64 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. HigherLower net income year over year was driven primarily attributableby lower revenues as a result significantly lower market volumes due to conversion on increased revenuethe COVID-19 pandemic, as well as higher restructuring costs related to programs announced in June 2020. During the quarter, certain actions were executed in order to decrease the impact of the significantly lower production levels. These actions included temporary salary reductions, employee headcount reductions, hourly employee layoffs and lower income tax expense.other discretionary spend reductions.
Adjusted EBITDA (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below) for the third quarter of fiscal year 20192020 was $146$7 million compared to $135$146 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Our adjusted EBITDA margin (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below) in the third quarter of fiscal year 20192020 was 12.51.4 percent compared to 12.012.5 percent in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increasedecrease in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin year over year was driven primarily by conversion on higher revenue andlower revenues as a result of lower market volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cost reduction actions executed in the quarter partially offset the impact of Aftermarket pricing actions implemented earlier this year, partially offset by higher material costs.from lower revenue.
Net incomeloss from continuing operations attributable to the company for the third quarter of fiscal year 20192020 was $85$36 million compared to $66net income from continuing operations attributable to the company of $85 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted incomeloss from continuing operations attributable to the company (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below) for the third quarter of fiscal year 20192020 was$103 $34 million compared to $80adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to the company of $103 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Cash used for operating activities was $102 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 compared to cash provided by operating activities wasof $143 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared2019. The decrease in operating cash flow year on year was driven primarily by lower revenues as a result of significantly lower market volumes due to $119the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the total decline in operating cash flow, $124 million of the reduction was due to the impact of accounts receivable factoring as a result of lower balances available under the factoring programs.
Reportable Segment Changes
On May 4, 2020, we realigned our operations resulting in a change to our operating and reportable segments. As of the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. Higher earnings helped drive cash flow performance in2020, the reportable segments are (1) Commercial Truck and (2) Aftermarket and Industrial. Prior year reportable segment financial results have been recast for these changes.
Capital Markets Transactions
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2019.
Equity Repurchase Authorization
On July 26, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2502020, we issued $300 million of 6.25 percent unsecured senior notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). Net proceeds from the offering of the notes, as well as cash on hand, were used to repay the outstanding $304 million balance under our common stock from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our debt covenants. This authorization supersedes the remaining authority under the prior November 2018 equity repurchase authorization described below.senior secured credit facility.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock for $21 million (including commission costs) pursuant to the November 2018 equity repurchase authorization described in the Liquidity section below. The amount remaining available for repurchases under that repurchase authorization was $130 million as of June 30, 2019.
Acquisition of AxleTech Business
On July 26, 2019, we acquired 100 percent of AxleTech's shares for approximately $175 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The addition of AxleTech enhances our growth platform with the addition of a complementary product portfolio that includes a full line of independent suspensions, axles, braking solutions and drivetrain components across the off-highway, defense, specialty and aftermarket markets.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we have provided information regarding non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow and net debt.flow.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are defined as reported income (loss) from continuing operations and reported diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations before restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges, non-cash tax expense related to the use of deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with net operating loss carry forwards or tax credits, and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated sales from continuing operations. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expense, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated legacy and corporate expense (income), net.

MERITOR, INC.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the company's financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are meaningful measures of performance to investors as they are commonly utilized to analyze financial performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance between periods and measure our performance against externally communicated targets.
Free cash flow is used by investors and management to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to shareholders. Net debtFree cash flow over adjusted EBITDAincome from continuing operations is a specific financial measure inof our current M2019M2022 plan used to measure the company’s leverage in ordercompany's ability to assist management in its assessment of appropriate allocation of capital.convert earnings to free cash flow.
Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting purposes, and segment adjusted EBITDA is also used as the primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments.
Our Board of Directors uses adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and net debtfree cash flow over adjusted EBITDAincome from continuing operations as key metrics to determine management’s performance under our performance-based compensation plans.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our financial performance. Free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for cash provided by (used for) operating activities, or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of financial position or liquidity. In addition, this non-GAAP cash flow measure does not reflect cash used to repay debt or cash received from the divestitures of businesses or sales of other assets and thus does not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. Net debt should not be considered a substitute for total debt as reported on the balance sheet. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Overview – Our principal operating and capital requirements are for working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements, funding of pension and retiree medical costs and restructuring and product development programs. We expect fiscal year 20192020 capital expenditures for our business segments to be approximately $105$85 million.
We generally fund our operating and capital needs with cash on hand, cash flows from operations, our various accounts receivable securitization and factoring arrangements and availability under our revolving credit facility. Cash in excess of local operating needs is generally used to reduce amounts outstanding, if any, under our revolving credit facility or U.S. accounts receivable securitization program. Our ability to access additional capital in the long term will depend on availability of capital markets and pricing on commercially reasonable terms, as well as our credit profile at the time we are seeking funds. We continuously evaluate our capital structure to ensure the most appropriate and optimal structure and may, from time to time, retire, repurchase, exchange or redeem outstanding indebtedness or common equity, issue new equity or debt securities or enter into new lending arrangements if conditions warrant.
In December 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), registering an indeterminate amount of debt and/or equity securities that we may offer in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale. 
We believe our current financing arrangements provide us with the financial flexibility required to maintain our operations during the uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic and fund future growth, including actions required to improve our

 The availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants based on the ratio of our priority debt (consisting principally of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, U.S. accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs, and third-party non-working capital foreign debt) to EBITDA. We are required to maintain a total priority debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 2.25 to 1.00 or less as of the last day of each fiscal quarter throughout the term of the agreement.

U.S. Securitization Program – As of September 30, 2018, the U.S. accounts receivable securitization facility size was $100 million. On October 4, 2018, we entered into an amendment that increased the size of the facility to $110 million and extended its expiration date to December 2021. The maximum permitted priority debt-to-EBITDA ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter under the facility is 2.25 to 1.00. This program is provided by PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrator and Purchaser, and the other Purchasers and Purchaser Agents party to the agreement from time to time (participating lenders). Under this program, we have the ability to sell an undivided percentage ownership interest in substantially all of our trade receivables (excluding the receivables due from AB Volvo and subsidiaries eligible for sale under the U.S. accounts receivable factoring facility) of certain U.S. subsidiaries to ArvinMeritor Receivables Corporation ("ARC"), a wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary. ARC funds these purchases with borrowings from participating lenders under a loan agreement. This program also includes a letter of credit facility pursuant to which ARC may request the issuance of letters of credit for our U.S. subsidiaries (originators) or their designees, which when issued will constitute a utilization of the facility for the amount of letters of credit issued. Amounts outstanding under this agreement are collateralized by eligible receivables purchased by ARC and are reported as short-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under this program, and $3 million of letters of credit were issued. As of September 30, 2018, $46 million was outstanding under this program, and $11 million of letters of credit were issued. This securitization program contains a cross default to our revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit agreement (seeNote 1817 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementsin Part I of this Quarterly Report). At certain times during any given month, we may sell eligible accounts receivable under this program to fund intra-month working capital needs. In such months, we would then typically utilize the cash received from our customers throughout the month to repay the borrowings under the program. Accordingly, during any given month, we may borrow under this program in amounts exceeding the amounts shown as outstanding at fiscal year ends.

Any lowering of our credit ratings could increase our cost of future borrowings and could reduce our access to capital markets and result in lower trading prices for our securities.
Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt Certain of the company's 100% owned subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement (collectively, the "Guarantors") irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility on a joint and several basis.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Accounts Receivable Factoring Arrangements – We participate in accounts receivable factoring programs with a total amount utilized at June 30, 20192020 of $294$126 million, of which $230$99 million was attributable to committed factoring facilities involving the sale of AB Volvo accounts receivables. The remaining amount of $64$27 million was related to factoring by certain of our European subsidiaries under uncommitted factoring facilities with financial institutions. The receivables under all of these programs are sold at face value and are excluded from the consolidated balance sheet. Total facility size, utilized amounts, readily available amounts and expiration dates for each of these programs are shown in the table above under Liquidity.
The Swedish facility is backed by a 364-day364-day liquidity commitment from Nordea Bank, which was renewed through January 10, 2020.June 22, 2021. Commitments under all of our factoring facilities are subject to standard terms and conditions for these types of arrangements (including, in the case of the U.K. and Italy commitments, a sole discretion clause whereby the bank retains the right to not purchase receivables, which has not been invoked since the inception of the respective programs).

Letter of Credit Facilities – On February 21, 2014, we entered into an arrangement to amend and restate the letter of credit facility with Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent and issuing bank, and the other lenders party thereto. Under the terms of this amended credit agreement, which expired in March 2019, we had the right to obtain the issuance, renewal, extension and increase of letters of credit up to an aggregate availability of $25 million. This facility contained covenants and events of default generally similar to those existing in our public debt indentures. There were $1 million of letters of credit outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2018. On March 20, 2019, we allowed this facility to expire. The letters of credit previously provided under this facility were replaced with letters of credit issued under our U.S. accounts receivable securitization facility with PNC Bank. There were $8 million of letters of credit outstanding through other letter of credit facilities as of both June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018, respectively.2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain global market risks, including foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk associated with our debt.
As a result of our substantial international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from our normal business operations, including in connection with our transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, we translate sales and financial results denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for purposes of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies generally will have a negative impact on our reported revenues and operating income while depreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies will generally have a positive effect on reported revenues and operating income.
We use foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the earnings exposures arising from foreign currency exchange risk on foreign currency purchases and sales. Gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposures are partially offset with gains and losses on the foreign currency forward contracts. Under this cash flow hedging program, we designate the foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of underlying foreign currency forecasted purchases and sales. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. These contracts generally mature within 18 months.
We use cross-currency swap contracts to hedge a portion of our net investment in a foreign subsidiary against volatility in foreign exchange rates. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Settlements and changes in fair values of the instruments are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2018,2019, we entered into multiple cross-currency swaps.swap contracts with a combined notional amount of $225 million and maturities in October 2022. These swaps hedged a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against volatility in the euro/U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate. In the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal year 2019, the company unwound2020, we settled these cross-currency swapsswap contracts and received proceeds of $19$11 million, $2$1 million of which related to net accrued interest receivable. The company also entered into multiple new cross-currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $225 million. These swaps hedge a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against volatility in the euro/U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate. They mature in October 2022.
Interest rate risk relates to the gain/increase or loss/decrease we could incur in our debt balances and interest expense associated with changes in interest rates. To manage this risk, we enter into interest rate swaps from time to time to economically convert portions of our fixed-rate debt into floating rate exposure, ensuring that the sensitivity of the economic value of debt falls within our corporate risk tolerances. It is our policy not to enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes, and therefore, we hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes.

(2)At June 30, 2019,2020, the fair value of outstanding foreign currency denominated debt was $5$3.8 million. A 10% decrease in quoted currency exchange rates would result in a decrease of $1$0.4 million in foreign currency denominated debt. At June 30, 2019,2020, a 10% increase in quoted currency exchange rates would result in an increase of $1$0.4 million in foreign currency denominated debt.

(3)At June 30, 2019,2020, the fair value of outstanding debt was $857$1,291 million. A 50 basis points decrease in quoted interest rates would result in an increase of $35$36.4 million in the fair value of fixed rate debt. A 50 basis points increase in quoted interest rates would result in a decrease of $33$34.5 million in the fair value of fixed rate debt.
