Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. (“Affinia” or the “Company”), headquartered in Gastonia, North Carolina, is an innovative global leader in the design, manufacture, distribution and marketing of industrial grade filtration products and services and replacement products in South America. The Company’s broad range of filtration and other products are sold in North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. The Company’s brands include WIX^®, Filtron^®, Nakata^® and ecoLAST^®. Additionally, the Company provides private label products for certain customers, including NAPA^®.

The Company is wholly-owned by Affinia Group Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), a company controlled by affiliates of The Cypress Group, L.L.C. (“Cypress”).

As discussed further in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operation”, in the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell the Brazilian operations of the Affinia South America (“ASA”) segment. Accordingly, the results of these businesses have been included as a component of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. In these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the term the “Company,” refers to Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information and notes required by GAAP in the U.S. for annual financial statements. Because the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes do not include all information and notes required by GAAP in the U.S. for annual financial statements, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other information included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations. Amounts reported in the interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the respective annual periods.

In preparing financial statements that conform to GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of the debt issuance costs in the financial statements by presenting the costs as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will be reported as interest expense. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of the new ASU would be a reclassification from deferred financing costs to long-term debt in the period of adoption, applied retrospectively. As of June 30, 2015 the deferred financing costs balance was $12 million.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this new ASU will have on its revenue recognition upon adoption.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions

that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The FASB issued the ASU to provide more decision-useful information and to make it more difficult for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. In addition, the ASU requires entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods in the statement of financial position, as well as significant changes to the presentation requirements within the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. ~~The adoption~~See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operations” for the impact of this ~~ASU could have a significant impact on the financial statement presentation associated with any disposal transactions that could occur once this ASU becomes effective.~~accounting pronouncement.

The Company has two operating segments, Filtration and Affinia South America (“ASA”), which are considered reportable segments under ASC 280 “Segment Reporting.” Operating segments are determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of the Company’s businesses. Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on revenue growth and operating profit. Although not considered an operating segment, corporate, eliminations and other includes corporate costs, interest expense and other amounts not allocated to the operating segments. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company’s management changed the calculation of segment earnings whereby certain corporate costs that were previously allocated to the operating segments were no longer allocated. Accordingly, all of these previously allocated costs remained in corporate, eliminations and other. Prior period segment results were recast to conform to current period presentation.

Filtration’s products fit medium and heavy duty trucks, light vehicles, equipment in the off-highway market (i.e. residential and non-residential construction, mining, forestry and agricultural) and equipment for industrial and marine applications. Filtration’s products include oil, air, fuel, cabin air, coolant, hydraulic and other filters for many types of vehicles and machinery. The products are sold under well-known brands, such as WIX^® and Filtron^®, and private label brands including NAPA^®.

ASA focuses on distributing and manufacturing brake, suspension, driveshaft and U-joint components, water and fuel pumps, filters, engine products, motorcycle products, accessories and other critical aftermarket components through its operations in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and ~~Venezuela. The majority~~historical operations in Venezuela, which was closed in the second quarter of ~~ASA’s revenue~~2014. During the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell the Brazilian operations within ASA, which is ~~generated in Brazil. In Brazil, ASA’s operations are conducted through Affinia~~comprised of Automotiva ~~an aftermarket parts manufacturer and master distributor,~~ and Pellegrino (“ASA Brazil”) and accordingly the results of that disposal group have been included as a ~~warehouse distributor. Affinia Automotiva manufactures Nakata~~^® ~~brand shock absorbers~~component of discontinued operations and ~~distributes those~~excluded from the tables below. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operation” for further information regarding ASA Brazil. Since ASA Brazil meets the criteria of assets held for sale under ASC Topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements,” (“ASC 205”), the results of operations have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Currently, the ASA segment consists of continuing operations in Argentina and ~~third party products~~Uruguay, as well as the results of the Venezuela operations prior to ~~warehouse distributors, including Pellegrino.~~shut down in the second quarter of 2014.

The following table presents financial information for each of our reportable segments, as well as for corporate, eliminations and other, and on a consolidated basis:

As described further below in the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell its Brazilian operations within ASA. In accordance with ASC 205 this portion of the ASA segment met the definition of a disposal group at the time management committed to a plan to sell and, accordingly, the results of operations have been classified as a component of discontinued operations for all periods presented as this disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a significant effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

On June 12, 2015, Affinia Canada ULC and Affinia Southern Holdings LLC (collectively, “Sellers”), wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) to sell their equity interests in each of Pellegrino Distribuidora de Autopecas Ltda. (“Pellegrino”) and Affinia Automotiva Ltda. (“Automotiva”). The purchasers under the Pellegrino Purchase Agreement are Distribuidora Automotiva S.A. and Car Central De Autopecas e Rolamentos Ltda. (the “Pellegrino Purchasers”) and the purchasers under the Automotiva Purchase Agreement are Auto Norte Distribuidora de Pecas Ltda., Cobra Rolamentos e Autopecas Ltda., Distribuidora Automotiva S.A., Jorge C. Schertel, Pedro Molina Quaresma and Sedim-Administracao e Participacoes Ltda. (the “Automotiva Purchasers”) The closing of each sale is contingent on the simultaneous closing of the other sale, unless waived by the Sellers, and the closing of each sale is contingent on customary closing conditions, including antitrust clearance under Brazilian law.

The purchase price to Sellers for the sale of each of Pellegrino and Automotiva will be paid in Brazilian Reals. The Pellegrino purchase price is 215,000,000 Brazilian Reals and the purchase price for the sale of Automotiva is 146,285,000 Brazilian Reals (in each case, the “Base Purchase Price”), and, in each case, plus or minus an adjustment reflecting (i) an estimate of interim profits or losses, as applicable, of the Sellers related to the Pellegrino or Automotiva business, respectively, each calculated in accordance with a process established in the respective Purchase Agreement, and (ii) minus a percentage of certain claims that may arise after signing and before closing. After closing, the parties will determine a final purchase price reflecting the actual interim profits and losses and such claims, as well as other adjustments, calculated in accordance with a process established in the respective Purchase Agreement.

This transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015. The gain on sale of ASA Brazil will be dependent on the exchange rate in effect at the date of closing, as well as the impact of the adjustments at closing described above. The proceeds from sale are required to be used to pay down the Company’s outstanding debt. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were not adjusted to reflect this operation as a discontinued operation for any period presented.

The following table shows the net sales, cost of sales, gross profit, selling general and administrative expenses, operating profit, income before tax provision, income tax provision and net income that are included within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations associated with the ASA Brazil disposal group:

The following table shows the depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures that are included within the consolidated statement of cash flow associated with the ASA Brazil disposal group.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, management committed to a plan to sell the Chassis group. Pursuant to ASC ~~Topic~~ 205, ~~“Presentation of Financial Statements,”~~ the Chassis group met the definition of a disposal group at the time management committed to a plan to sell the group and, accordingly, the results of operations of the Chassis group have been classified as a component of discontinued operations. On January 21, 2014, Affinia entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Federal-Mogul Chassis LLC (formerly known as VCS Quest Acquisition LLC) (“FM Chassis”), an affiliate of Federal-Mogul Corporation, pursuant to which FM Chassis agreed to purchase the Chassis group. This transaction closed on May 1, 2014. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were not adjusted to reflect this group as a discontinued operation for any period presented.

Upon the closing of this transaction, Affinia received cash proceeds of $140 million, which represented the agreed upon selling price of $150 million less a holdback of consideration of $10 million until completion of certain post-closing performance obligations. The Company released an $18 million capital loss valuation allowance as a result of the sale, the tax benefit of which offset the tax expense incurred by the gain on the sale. This resulted in a tax expense of less than $1 million on the sale transaction.

The sale of the Chassis group resulted in a pre-tax gain of $21 million, excluding the $10 million holdback, which is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

The following table shows the Chassis group’s net sales, income before tax provision, income tax provision and net income that are included within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~Operations:~~Operations associated with the Chassis disposal group:

In addition to the amounts reflected in the tables above associated with the ASA Brazil and Chassis Group, (Loss) income from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes additional amounts of $19 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. These additional amounts include the pre-tax gain on the sale of the Chassis group discussed above.

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps to manage foreign exchange and interest rate risks, respectively. The primary use of the foreign currency forward contracts is to hedge the risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with borrowings. The Company executes derivative contracts for risk management purposes and does not engage in any speculative or trading activity.

All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as assets or liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is determined using observable market data provided by recognized independent third-party financial information providers and is based upon Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy within ASC ~~820.~~820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). There are no cash collateral requirements related to any of the Company’s open derivative instruments.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that qualify for and for which the Company has elected hedge accounting in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) are reflected as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) until the hedged transaction impacts earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivative agreements that either do not qualify for hedge accounting, have not been designated as hedges or for which the hedge has been de-designated are reflected in current earnings.

The Company operates globally and is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to certain non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany balances. To minimize the risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company has established a program that utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risk associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Gains or losses on the Company’s foreign currency exposure are intended to be mitigated by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have terms of six months or less and are entered into at the prevailing market exchange rate at the end of each month.

Prior to the third quarter of 2014, the Company did not formally designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts were recognized in current period earnings. Beginning in the third quarter of 2014, the Company ~~began entering~~entered into foreign currency forward contracts for anticipated future transactions and these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. In accordance with ASC 815, the effective portion of these cash flow hedges are included as a component of AOCI until the underlying transaction impacts earnings. At the time the underlying transaction impacts earnings, the Company will de-designate the hedging instrument and reflect the change in fair value in current earnings to offset the remeasurement impact of the gross receivable or payable balance until the underlying transaction is settled.

The Company’s currency forward contracts are valued using then-current spot and forward market data as provided by external financial institutions. The Company enters into currency forward contracts with banking institutions of only the highest tiered credit ratings and thus the counterparty credit risk associated with these contracts is not considered significant.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of the issuance of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. Interest rate risk is managed by limiting variable-rate exposure and monitoring changes in interest rates. To manage risks associated with changes in interest rates, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to effectively fix the interest rate on variable-rate debt. The Company designates its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of AOCI to the extent such cash flow hedges are effective. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI when the underlying hedged items are recognized, during the period that a hedge transaction is terminated, or whenever a portion of the hedge transaction results are deemed ineffective.

The table below shows notional amounts associated with currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps as ~~of March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Affinia’s debt consists of notes that are publicly traded, an asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”), term loan facilities consisting of Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2 and other short-term borrowings. The fair value framework requires the categorization of the Company’s debt into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to determine fair value. The fair value of debt and the categorization of the hierarchy level of fair value, net of discount, are and were as follows:

(Dollars in millions)	Book Value of Debt		Fair Value Factor			Fair Value of Debt		Book Value of Debt		Fair Value Factor			Fair Value of Debt

A financial covenant exists under the ABL Revolver that would be triggered if excess availability under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of 10% of the total borrowing base and $10 million. If the covenant trigger were to occur, the Company would be required to satisfy and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00x, measured for the last twelve-month period. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, none of the covenant triggers had occurred. The impact of falling below the fixed charge coverage ratio would not be a default but would trigger the imposition of restrictions on the Company’s ability to pursue certain operational or financial transactions (e.g. asset dispositions, dividends and acquisitions).

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first in first out basis for all domestic inventories and at the Company’s Poland operations or average cost basis for other non-U.S. inventories. Inventories are reduced by an allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventories based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage. A summary of inventories, net is provided in the table below:

As previously disclosed, the Company has conducted a review of certain allegations arising in connection with business operations involving its subsidiaries in Poland and Ukraine. The allegations raise issues involving potential improper payments in connection with governmental approvals, permits, or other regulatory areas and possible conflicts of interest. The Company’s review, which the Company considers to be ~~substantially~~ complete, has been supervised by the Audit Committee of Affinia’s Board of Directors and has been conducted with the assistance of outside professionals. Affinia voluntarily self-reported on these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and has cooperated fully with the U.S. government. No determination may yet be made as to whether, in connection with the circumstances surrounding the review, Affinia may become subject to any fines, penalties and/or other charges imposed by any governmental authority, or any other damages or costs that may arise in connection with those circumstances.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate was $1 million as of both ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and recognizes penalties as part of the income tax provision. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the Company’s accrual for interest and penalties was less than $1 million. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. For jurisdictions in which Affinia transacts significant business, tax years ended December 31, 2004 and later remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The Company does not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months.

The effective tax rate was 56% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 53% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is attributable to an increase in ~~Note 14, during~~income earned in jurisdictions with higher income tax rates. The effective tax rate was 56% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 80% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate was attributable to a decrease in income earned in jurisdictions with lower income tax rates. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a currency devaluation of $7 ~~million.~~million for the Venezuelan operations. This was a non-deductible item for ~~U.S.~~ income tax purposes ~~and was the primary driver of the effective rate decreasing to 55% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from in excess of 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.~~

Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings are pending or threatened against Affinia and its subsidiaries, arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, intellectual property, product liability and environmental matters. Affinia believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company has various accruals for civil liability, including product liability, and other costs. If there is a range of equally probable outcomes, Affinia accrues at the lower end of the range. The Company had ~~$3 million and~~ $2 million accrued as of ~~March 31,~~both June 30, 2015 and December 31, ~~2014, respectively.~~2014. These amounts are reflected in Other accrued expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition, the continuing operations of Affinia ~~has~~have various other claims that are reasonably possible of occurrence for which the aggregate maximum exposure to loss is estimated at ~~$13~~less than $1 million. There are currently no reserves associated with these claims.

There are currently no reserves associated with these cost estimates.

Affinia has agreements with third party financial institutions to factor certain receivables on a non-recourse basis. The terms of the factoring arrangements provide for the factoring of certain U.S. Dollar-denominated or Canadian Dollar-denominated receivables, which are purchased at the face value amount of the receivable discounted at the annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread on the purchase date. The amount factored is not contractually defined by the factoring arrangements and our use will vary each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and the cash flow needs of the Company.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, effective January 1, 2010, the Company began accounting for Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy because the three-year cumulative inflation rate for Venezuela using the blended Consumer Price Index (which is associated with the city of Caracas) and the National Consumer Price Index (developed commencing in 2008 and covering the entire country of Venezuela) exceeded 100%. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2010, the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiary used the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. The financial statements of the Venezuelan subsidiary is re-measured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. Dollar) and gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. The local currency in Venezuela is the Bolivar Fuerte (“VEF”).

In 2013, the Venezuelan government authorized certain companies that operate in designated industry sectors to exchange a limited volume of VEFs for U.S. Dollars at a bid rate established via weekly auctions under what is known as SICAD 1. SICAD 1 auctions began in October 2013. However, SICAD 1 auctions are not indicative of a free market exchange as only designated industries may bid into individual auctions and the highest bids are not always recognized by the Venezuelan government. In March 2014, another currency exchange mechanism (SICAD 2) became effective. SICAD 2 was intended to more closely resemble a market-driven exchange rate than the rates provided by Venezuela’s other regulated exchange mechanisms (i.e. the official rate and the SICAD 1 rate). Thus, as of March 31, 2014, entities were able to convert VEFs at one of three legal exchange rates: official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar based on closing rate at the then most recent auction, and SICAD 2 rate of 50.86 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar based on closing rate on March 31, 2014.

As a result of the multiple exchange rates available to settle transactions, at March 31, 2014, management reevaluated the exchange rates previously used for remeasurement, which had been the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. While substantially all of the Company’s import transactions for purchases of inventory had been pre-approved by the Venezuelan government at the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, the Venezuelan government had not settled these transactions with vendors since November 2013. This, along with the introduction of the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 market mechanisms, raised considerable doubts about the ability to ultimately settle transactions at the official rate in the future. Additionally, legislation enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2014 indicated that foreign investments are subject to the SICAD 1 rate rather than the official rate. While not the determinative factor, management viewed the passing of this legislation as a critical component in its assessment of the most representative rate to use for remeasurement purposes at March 31, 2014. Given the uncertainty of the exchange markets and the ultimate rate at which transactions may settle in the future, as well as consideration of the aforementioned legislation that was enacted earlier in 2014, the Company recorded a one-time devaluation of $7 million in the first quarter of 2014, which represented a move from the official rate to the SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. Of the $7 million devaluation charge, $5 million was recorded in the Filtration segment and $2 million was recorded in the ASA segment. This devaluation is reflected in Other income and expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an immaterial devaluation to reflect the movement in the ~~SICAD I~~SICAD1 rate from 10.7 VEF to 12.0 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. During the first quarter of 2015, management continued to apply the rate of 12.0 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. However, in February 2015, the Marginal Currency System (“Simadi”) mechanism was introduced and implemented as part of law, resulting in the elimination of the SICAD 2 rate. The Simadi rate is a free market exchange where the rate is derived from

daily private bidders and buyers exchanging offers through authorized agents and approved and published by the Venezuelan Central Bank. ~~The quoted~~To date, the Company has had very limited participation in the Simadi ~~exchange~~markets as a result of successful participation in multiple SICAD1 auctions. At June 30, 2015, the Simadi rate ~~closed at 193~~was approximately 197 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an immaterial devaluation to reflect the movement in the SICAD 1 rate from 12.0 VEF to 12.8 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar as a result of management’s successful participation in a SICAD 1 auction at ~~March 31, 2015.~~a rate of 12.8 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, which was a 6.7% depreciation over the last auction held in the fourth quarter of 2014. Management will continue to monitor the exchange rate mechanism in Venezuela, as well as the Company’s ability to continue to successfully access U.S. Dollar at a SICAD 1 rate to determine whether a different exchange rate should be used in future periods, which would result in further devaluation charges being recorded.

In the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015, the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries represented approximately 6%9% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. The Venezuelan subsidiaries have total assets and liabilities of less than 5% of the Company’s total consolidated assets and liabilities at ~~March 31, 2015~~June 30, 2015.

Affinia’s restructuring activities, as described below, were undertaken to execute management’s strategy, streamline operations and to ultimately achieve net cost reductions. Costs related to these restructuring activities are reflected within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The restructuring charges consist of employee termination costs, other exit costs and impairment costs. Severance costs are being accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations” and ASC Topic 712, “Compensation—Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.” In October 2013, Affinia announced that it would relocate its Ann Arbor, Michigan corporate headquarters to Gastonia, North Carolina, which is the location of the Filtration segment. The Company recorded an accrual of $1 million as of December 31, 2014 related to the relocation. The transition to the new corporate headquarters was substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2014. On August 29, 2014, the Company and CQ Sourcing, Inc. (“CQ Sourcing”) agreed to end their current relationship effective as of December 31, 2014. CQ Sourcing is a subsidiary of General Parts International, Inc. that owns and operates stores under the CARQUEST brand and provides services to independently owned stores that operate under the CARQUEST brand. The Company recorded an accrual of $1 million as of December 31, 2014 related to the ending of this relationship. The following summarizes the restructuring charges and activity for the Company:

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, 19,639 time-based Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) vested and, of these vested awards, 7,856 were cash settled by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the RSUs awards, 7,856 new performance-based RSUs were subsequently issued to the holders. The performance-based RSUs granted carry the same vesting terms and conditions as previously issued performance-based RSU awards.

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company granted 5,000 restricted stock units which carry the same terms of previously issued awards.

A rollforward of the outstanding RSU awards at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 is as follows:

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, $1$2 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized associated with outstanding time-based RSUs. There was no stock-based compensation expense recognized during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

Holdings (presented as Parent in the following schedules), through its 100% owned subsidiary, Affinia (presented as Issuer in the following schedules), issued $250 million of Senior Notes on April 25, 2013. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, there were $250 million of Senior Notes outstanding. The notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers and certain persons in offshore transactions.

The Senior Notes are fully, irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The Senior Notes are general obligations of the Issuer and guaranteed by the Parent and the Guarantors.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) is an innovative global leader in the design, manufacture, distribution and marketing of industrial grade filtration products and services and replacement products in South America. Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”), as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures discussed below. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company has two operating segments, Filtration and Affinia South America (“ASA”). Affinia’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on revenue growth and operating profit. Income taxes are not allocated to the operating segments. Although not considered an operating segment, corporate, eliminations and other includes corporate costs, interest expense and other amounts not allocated to the operating segments. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company’s management changed the calculation of segment earnings whereby certain corporate costs that were previously allocated to the operating segments were no longer allocated. Accordingly, all of these previously allocated costs remained in corporate, eliminations and other. Prior period segment results were recast to conform to current period presentation.

Filtration is the Company’s largest business unit. Filtration’s products fit medium and heavy duty trucks, light vehicles, equipment in the off-highway market (i.e. residential and non-residential construction, mining, forestry and agricultural) and equipment for industrial and marine applications. Filtration’s products include oil, air, fuel, cabin air, coolant, hydraulic and other filters for many types of vehicles and machinery. The products are sold under well-known brands, such as WIX^® and Filtron^®, and private label brands including NAPA^®.

In the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell its Brazilian operations within ASA, ~~focuses on distributing~~which is comprised of Affinia Automotiva and manufacturing brake, suspension, driveshaft and U-joint components, water and fuel pumps, filters, engine products, motorcycle products, accessories and other critical aftermarket components through itsPellegrino (collectively “ASA Brazil”). These operations represented approximately 90% of the ASA segment net sales. Accordingly, the results of ASA Brazil have been classified as a component of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. Currently, the continuing operations of ASA include Argentina ~~Brazil,~~and Uruguay, ~~and Venezuela. The majority~~as well as the operations of ~~ASA’s revenue is generated~~Venezuela prior to its shutdown in Brazil. In Brazil, ASA’s operations are conducted through Affinia Automotiva, an aftermarket parts manufacturer and master distributor (“Automotiva”), and Pellegrino, a warehouse distributor (“Pellegrino”). Automotiva manufactures Nakata^® ~~brand shock absorbers and distributes those and third party products to warehouse distributors, including Pellegrino distribution.~~the second quarter of 2014.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, management committed to a plan to sell its global chassis business (the “Chassis group”) to an affiliate of Federal-Mogul Corporation. Accordingly, the results of the Chassis group have been classified as a component of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented prior to the sale, which closed on May 1, 2014.

In this section, the Company provides analysis and discussion of earnings and factors affecting earnings on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting, and for reporting results to the Board of Directors, employees and investors concerning the Company’s financial performance. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Affinia’s EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization and interest expense to income from continuing operations before income tax provision.

Net sales. Consolidated net sales decreased by ~~$28~~$24 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 due to lower sales in both the Filtration segment and ASA segment. Excluding currency effects, consolidated net sales ~~increased $19~~decreased by $4 million compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014, with sales in the Filtration and ASA segments ~~up 4%~~down 1% and 9%13%, respectively. Excluding the impacts of the shutdown of ASA’s Venezuela operations in the second quarter of 2014, currency adjusted net sales were $1 million higher than the second quarter of 2014

Gross profit/gross margin. Gross profit decreased by $9$15 million during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014, with gross margin decreasing to ~~22%~~25% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 from ~~23%~~28% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014. Excluding currency effects, gross profit ~~increased $2~~decrease by $9 million compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014. The ~~increase~~decrease in gross margin was mainly due to ~~favorable product mix~~the impacts of lower volumes on the absorption of fixed costs in ~~the Filtration segment and higher volumes in the ASA segment leading to better cost absorption.~~North America.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. SG&A expenses decreased by $8$2 million during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2014. Excluding currency effects, SG&A decreased $3 million compared to the first quarter of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to~~2014 lower promotional and advertising costs, incurred in the prior year for which there were no comparable costs in the first quarter of 2015, including $4 million of restructuring costs related to the corporate office relocation and $1 million of legal costs. This was partially offset by an increase in the ASA segmentas well as lower overall direct selling expenses as a result of the ~~higher sales, as well as costs associated with supporting the growth~~decline in sales.

Operating profit/operating margin. Operating profit decreased by $1$13 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 due primarily to the decrease in gross profit, with operating margin ~~remaining flat at 8%~~decreasing to 10% in ~~both the first quarter of~~ 2015 ~~and first quarter of~~compared to 14% in 2014. Excluding currency effects, operating profit ~~increased~~decreased by $5 million compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014.

~~Other income and~~Interest expense. Interest expense ~~net.~~ ~~The decrease in expenses~~decreased by $2 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of repayment of debt balances in the second and third quarters of 2014.

Income tax provision. Income tax provision decreased by $5 million in the second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 due primarily to lower pre-tax income, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, is comprised of the results of ASA Brazil, as well as the Chassis group for the period prior to sale in the second quarter of 2014. The loss in the second quarter of 2015 is driven primarily by the recognition of additional tax expense as a result of a $7 million capital gains tax in Brazil associated with the pending sale of ASA Brazil, compared to a gain in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of recognizing a pre-tax gain of $21 million on the sale of the Chassis group.

Net income. Net income was zero in the second quarter of 2015 in comparison to a net income of $35 million in the second quarter of 2014 as a result less favorable results in the Filtration segment, as well as a loss in discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2015 compared to recognition of a gain on the sale of the Chassis group in the second quarter of 2014.

The ~~increase~~decrease in consolidated EBITDA for the ~~first~~second quarter 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily driven by lower EBITDA in the Filtration segment as the result of the loss of a significant customer, as well as an overall softness in the North American aftermarket, which resulted in lower sales to customers.

Excluding currency impacts, consolidated EBITDA would have been $43 million in the second quarter of 2015, which is $4 million lower than the second quarter of 2014.

Three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 compared to ~~March 31, 2014:~~June 30, 2014

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by ~~$19~~$21 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of currency, net sales ~~improved $10~~decreased $2 million compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014. The sales variance was driven primarily by:

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by ~~$12~~$6 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2014.~~2014 Excluding the impacts of currency, cost of sales increased ~~$10~~$7 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 compared to prior year. The increase was primarily related to increases in materials, labor and overhead costs.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $7$15 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impacts of currency, gross profit ~~was flat~~decreased by $9 million in comparison to the second quarter of 2014. Gross profit was at 25% and 29% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decline in gross profit was primarily driven by the impacts of lower overall sales volume on absorption of fixed costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses decreased by $3 million in the second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily driven by lower costs of advertising, marketing and promotions in the second quarter of 2015, as well as the impacts of lower overall sales on direct selling expenses.

Operating Profit. Operating profit decreased by $12 million in the second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impacts of currency, operating profit was $9 million lower in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in operating profit was driven primarily by lower sales. Operating profit was at 15% of net sales for the second quarter of 2015 compared to 19% in the same period in 2014.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA decreased by $10 million in the second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the second quarter of 2014.

United States. Net sales in the United States decreased by ~~$16~~$18 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter 2014 due to lower North America sales within Filtration. See “Segment Results” above. The United States income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax provision, equity in income (loss), net of tax and noncontrolling interest was lower than the foreign income from continuing operations before income tax provision, equity in income (loss), net of tax and noncontrolling interest due to the inclusion of corporate costs in the United States operations and higher profitability of certain subsidiaries in foreign locations. The majority of the Company’s debt relates to U.S. operations and, consequently, almost all of the associated interest expense is allocated to the domestic operations. During the second quarter of 2015, the U.S. operations had $12 million of interest expense and the foreign operations had $1 million of interest expense.

Foreign. Foreign net sales decreased by $6 million in the second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the second quarter of 2014 due to lower sales in the Argentinean distribution companies and the Venezuela filtration products, largely as a result of unfavorable currency impacts. See “Segment Results” above for a discussion of the impacts of currency on net sales for the second quarter of 2015. Income from continuing operations before income tax provision, equity in income (loss), net of tax and noncontrolling interest increased in the second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the second quarter of 2014 primarily as a result of an improvement in gross profit, which was driven by an increase in sales volume in the European Filtration operations.

United States. Net sales in the United States decreased by $34 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 in comparison to the same period in 2014 due to lower North America sales within Filtration. See “Segment Results” section above. The United States income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax provision, equity in income (loss), net of tax and noncontrolling interest was

lower than the foreign income from continuing operations before income tax provision, equity in income (loss), net of tax and noncontrolling interest due to the inclusion of corporate costs in the United States operations and higher profitability of certain subsidiaries in foreign locations. The majority of the Company’s debt relates to U.S. operations and, consequently, almost all of the associated interest expense is allocated to the domestic operations. During the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2015, the U.S. operations had ~~$12~~$25 million of interest expense and the foreign operations had ~~less than~~ $1 million of interest expense.

Foreign. Foreign net sales decreased by ~~$12~~$10 million in ~~the first quarter of 2015 in~~six months ended June 30, 2015in comparison to the ~~first quarter~~same period of 2014 due to lower sales in the ~~Brazilian and~~ Argentinean distribution companies and the Venezuela filtration products, largely as a result of unfavorable currency impacts. See “Segment Results” above for a discussion of the impacts of currency on net sales for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015. Income from continuing operations before income tax provision, equity in income (loss), net of tax and noncontrolling interest increased in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 primarily as a result of an improvement in gross profit, which was driven by an increase in sales volume in the European Filtration operations.

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations and available borrowings from the ABL Revolver.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the Company had ~~$815~~$822 million in aggregate indebtedness. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the Company had an additional ~~$77~~$85 million of borrowing capacity available under the ABL Revolver after giving effect to $7 million in outstanding letters of credit, none of which was drawn against, and less than $1 million for borrowing base reserves. In addition, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$48~~$59 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015. The Company had ~~$28~~$45 million of cash and cash equivalents outside the United States, of which approximately $5$9 million is considered permanently reinvested for funding ongoing operations outside of the U.S. If such permanently reinvested funds are needed for operations in the U.S., the Company would be required to accrue additional tax expense, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.

Based on the current level of operations, the Company believes that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under the ABL Revolver, will be adequate to meet short term and long term liquidity needs. The ABL Revolver matures in April 2018, the Senior Notes mature in May 2021, the Term Loan B-1 matures in April 2016 and the Term Loan B-2 matures in April 2020. If the Company were to undertake a significant acquisition or capital improvement plan, it may need additional sources of liquidity. The Company expects to meet any such liquidity needs by entering into new or additional credit facilities and/or offering new or additional debt securities, but whether such sources of liquidity will be available to the Company at any given point in the future will depend on a number of factors that are outside of the Company’s control, including general market conditions.

The Company replaced its existing asset-based credit facility with a new ABL Revolver on April 25, 2013. The ABL Revolver comprises a revolving credit facility of up to $175 million for borrowings available solely to the U.S. domestic borrowers, including (i) a $30 million sub-limit for letters of credit and (ii) a $15 million swingline facility. Availability under the ABL Revolver is based upon monthly (or more frequent under certain circumstances) borrowing base valuations of the Company’s eligible inventory and accounts receivable, among other things, and is reduced by certain reserves in effect from time to time.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, there were no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Revolver. The Company had an additional ~~$77~~$85 million of availability after giving effect to $7 million in outstanding letters of credit and less than $1 million for borrowing base reserves as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015.

Guarantees and collateral. The indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the ABL Revolver are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its current and future U.S. subsidiaries, and are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions and exclusions, by a first-priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, cash, deposit accounts, securities accounts and proceeds of the foregoing and certain assets related thereto and a second-priority lien on the collateral that secures the Term Loans on a first-priority basis.

Mandatory prepayments. If at any time the outstanding borrowings under the ABL Revolver (including outstanding letters of credit and swingline loans) exceed the lesser of (i) the borrowing base as in effect at such time and (ii) the aggregate revolving commitments as in effect at such time, the borrowers will be required to prepay an amount equal to such excess and/or cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit.

Voluntary prepayments. Subject to certain conditions, the ABL Revolver allows the borrowers to voluntarily reduce the amount of the revolving commitments and to prepay the loans without premium or penalty other than customary breakage costs for LIBOR rate contracts.

Interest rates and fees. Outstanding borrowings under the ABL Revolver accrue interest at an annual rate of interest equal to (i) a base rate plus the applicable spread, as set forth below or (ii) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread, as set forth below. Swingline loans bear interest at a base rate plus the applicable spread. The Company will pay a commission on letters of credit issued under the new ABL Revolver at a rate equal to the applicable spread for loans based upon the LIBOR rate.

The borrowers will pay certain fees with respect to the ABL Revolver, including (i) an unused commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the credit facility of 0.25% per annum in the event that more than 50% of the commitments (excluding swingline loans) under the credit facility are utilized, and 0.375% per annum in the event that no more than 50% of the commitments (excluding swingline loans) under the credit facility are utilized and (ii) customary annual administration fees and fronting fees in respect of letters of credit equal to 0.125% per annum on the stated amount of each letter of credit outstanding during each fiscal quarter. During an event of default, all loans and other obligations under the ABL Revolver may bear interest at a rate 2.00% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest.

Cash Dominion. Commencing on the day that an event of default occurs or availability under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of 12.5% of the total borrowing base and $12.5 million and continuing until no event of default has existed and availability has been greater than such thresholds at all times for 60 consecutive days, amounts in the Company’s deposit accounts and the deposit accounts of the guarantors (other than certain excluded accounts) will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the administrative agent and applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the ABL Revolver.

Covenants. The ABL Revolver contains negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: create liens and encumbrances; incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make

acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends or make other payments in respect of their capital stock; amend certain material governance documents; change the nature of the business of the borrowers and their subsidiaries; redeem or repurchase capital stock or prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; change the borrowers’ fiscal periods; and enter into certain restrictive agreements. The ABL Revolver also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control.

In addition, commencing on the day that an event of default occurs or availability under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of 10% of the total borrowing base and $10 million and continuing until no event of default has existed and availability under the ABL Revolver has been greater than such thresholds at all times, in each case, for 30 consecutive days, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0x measured for the last 12-month period. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the Company remained in compliance with all debt covenants. The fixed charge coverage ratio was ~~1.97~~2.21 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015. If none of the covenant triggers have occurred, the impact of falling below the fixed charge coverage ratio would not be a default but instead would limit the Company’s ability to pursue certain operational or financial transactions (e.g. acquisitions).

On February 4, 2014, the Company entered into (i) the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated as of February 4, 2014 (“Term Loan Amendment”), among Affinia, JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto and (ii) the First Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement dated as of February 4, 2014 (“ABL Amendment”), among Affinia, certain subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent. The Term Loan Amendment and the ABL Amendment are referred to herein collectively as the “Amendments.”

The Amendments, among other things, amend certain negative covenants to permit the sale of the Chassis group and to permit certain restricted payments and loans and advances to Holdings. The Term Loan Amendment also amends certain prepayment terms in connection with the Chassis sale.

Senior Notes. In April 2013, Affinia issued $250 million of Senior Notes as part of the refinancing. The Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 7.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Senior Notes will mature on May 1, 2021. The terms of the Indenture provide that, among other things, the Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment to all of Affinia’s and all of the Company’s 100% owned current and future domestic subsidiaries (“Guarantors”) existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of Affinia’s and Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are effectively junior in right of payment to all of Affinia’s and the Guarantors’ secured indebtedness, including the Term Loans and the ABL Revolver, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The outstanding balance of the Senior Notes at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 was $250 million.

Guarantees. The Guarantors guarantee Affinia’s obligations under the Notes on a senior unsecured basis.

Interest Rate. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 7.75% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable in cash semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year.

Other Covenants. The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict Affinia’s ability (as well as the Guarantors) to: incur additional debt; provide guarantees and issue mandatorily redeemable preferred stock; pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments including the prepayment of certain indebtedness; enter into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; enter into transactions with affiliates; create or incur liens; and merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets.

Events of Default. The Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture, payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and other monetary obligations on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) consisting of (i) a Term Loan B-1 in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million and (ii) a Term Loan B-2 in an aggregate principal amount of $470 million (collectively the “Term Loans”). The Term Loan B-1 was offered at a price of 99.75%, of its face value, resulting in approximately $199 million of

net proceeds for the Term Loan B-1. Term Loan B-2 was offered at a price of 99.50%, of its face value, resulting in approximately $468 million of net proceeds for Term Loan B-2. The $1 million and $2 million original issue discount for Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2, respectively, will be amortized based on the effective interest rate method and included in interest expense until the Term Loans mature. Term Loan B-1 amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum, with the balance due on April 25, 2016. Term Loan B-2 amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum, with the balance due on April 25, 2020. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, $175 million principal amount of Term Loan B-1 was outstanding, net of less than $1 million issue discount which is being amortized until the Term Loan B-1 matures and ~~$367~~$366 million principal amount of Term Loan B-2 was outstanding, net of the $2 million issue discount which is being amortized until the Term Loan B-2 matures.

Guarantees and collateral. The indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Term Loan Facility are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its current and future U.S. subsidiaries, and are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions and exclusions, by a first-priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the borrower and each guarantor (including (i) a perfected pledge of all of the capital stock of the borrower and each direct, wholly-owned material subsidiary held by the borrower or any guarantor (subject to certain limitations with respect to foreign subsidiaries) and (ii) perfected security interests in, and mortgages on, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, material fee-owned real property, intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing) except for certain excluded assets and the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first priority basis, and a second-priority lien on the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first-priority basis.

Mandatory prepayments. The Term Loan Facility requires the following amounts to be applied to prepay the Term Loans, subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and reinvestment rights: 100% of the net proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness), 100% of the net proceeds of certain asset sales (including insurance or condemnation proceeds), other than the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first-priority basis, and 50% of excess cash flow with stepdowns to 25% and 0% based on certain leverage targets.

Mandatory prepayments will be allocated ratably between Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2 and, within each, will be applied to reduce remaining amortization payments in the direct order of maturity for the immediately succeeding eight quarters and, thereafter, pro rata.

Voluntary prepayment. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding Term Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than a 1.00% premium payable until, in the case of Term Loan B-1, nine months following April 25, 2013 and, in the case of Term Loan B-2, one year following April 25, 2013, on (i) the amount of loans prepaid or refinanced with proceeds of long-term bank debt financing or any other financing similar to such borrowings having a lower effective yield or (ii) the amount of loans the terms of which are amended to the same effect), subject to payment of customary breakage costs in the case of LIBOR rate loans. Optional prepayments of the Term Loans will be applied to the remaining installments thereof at the direction of the Company.

Interest rates. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility accrue interest at an annual rate of interest equal to (i) a base rate plus the applicable spread or (ii) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread. The applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan B-1 is 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBOR rate borrowings, and the applicable margin for borrowing under the Term Loan B-2 is 2.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.50% with respect to LIBOR rate borrowings. The LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum with respect to Term Loan B-1 and 1.25% per annum with respect to Term Loan B-2. Overdue principal with respect to the Term Loans will bear interest at a rate 2.00% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest and other overdue amounts with respect to the Term Loans will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% in excess of the rate applicable to base rate borrowings.

Covenants. The Term Loan Facility contains negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to create liens and encumbrances; incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends or make other payments in respect of their capital stock; amend certain material governance documents; change the nature of the business of the borrower and its subsidiaries; redeem or repurchase capital stock or prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; change the borrower’s fiscal periods; and enter into certain restrictive agreements. The Term Loan Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control.

The Company owns property in Litchfield, Illinois on which various historic environmental contaminants have been discovered. These contaminants are self-contained on the property ~~owned by~~and, with the ~~Company and~~exception of a small area with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) impact, are not required by law to be remediated. ~~However, the Company is currently exploring options for a voluntary clean-up of the site.~~ The Company ~~placed~~entered the site ininto the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (“IEPA”) voluntary Site Remediation Program and has received IEPA approval of a previously filed Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) for one portion of the site. AnThe remediation for that portion of the site commenced in June 2015 and is expected to be completed in September 2015. A RAP for the other portion of the site, including where PCBs are located, is ~~undergoing~~being prepared and will be submitted to IEPA, ~~review. The approval~~the Army Corps of ~~the RAPs does not legally bind the Company to remediate the site~~Engineers and the ~~Company~~U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The current cost estimate to complete all of the voluntary work included in ~~both RAPs, if~~ the ~~one undergoing IEPA review is~~ approved ~~substantially as submitted,~~RAP and expected to be included in the second RAP, including costs already incurred, is approximately $4 million. IfSince soil sampling and testing is not yet complete and a full site remediation study has not been issued on the area associated with the legally required PCB clean-up, the Company ~~decides to proceed with~~cannot currently reasonably estimate the ~~remediation work, it~~cost of the PCB clean-up. It is ~~currently anticipated~~not expected that the ~~work would be completed by late 2015.~~cost associated with this clean-up will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. There are currently no reserves associated with these cost estimates.

Except as set forth in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies” there were no material changes in the Company’s commitments under contractual obligations, as disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company’s principal commitments consist of obligations under debt obligations at maturity, under operating lease agreements, and under purchase commitments for property, plant, and equipment.

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements and does not have any holdings in variable interest entities.

There have been no material changes to the information concerning the Company’s exposures to market risk as stated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Derivatives,” for information with respect to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The translated values of revenue and expense from the Company’s international operations are subject to fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates.

The Company is exposed to various market risks, such as currency exchange and interest rate fluctuation. Where necessary to minimize such risks, the Company may enter into financial derivative transactions; however, the Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company conducts business throughout the world. Although the Company manages its businesses in such a way as to reduce a portion of the risks associated with operating internationally, changes in currency exchange rates may adversely impact Affinia’s results of operations and financial position.

The results of operations and financial position of each of the Company’s operations are measured in their respective local (functional) currency. Business transactions denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency produce foreign exchange gains and losses, as a result of the re-measurement process, as described in ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” To the extent that the Company’s business activities create monetary assets or liabilities denominated in a non-local currency, changes in an entity’s functional currency exchange rate versus each currency in which an entity transacts business have a varying impact on an entity’s results of operations and financial position, as reported in functional currency terms. Therefore, for entities that transact business in multiple currencies, the Company seeks to minimize the net amount of cash flows and balances denominated in non-local currencies. However, in the normal course of conducting international business, some amount of non-local currency exposure will exist. Therefore, management monitors these exposures and may engage in business activities or execute financial hedge transactions intended to mitigate the potential financial impact due to changes in the respective exchange rates.

The Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position, as reported in U.S. Dollars, are also affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The results of operations of non-U.S. Dollar functional entities are translated into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting purposes each period at the average currency exchange rate experienced during the period. To the extent that the U.S. Dollar may appreciate or depreciate over time, the contribution of non-U.S. Dollar denominated results of operations to our U.S. Dollar reported consolidated earnings will vary accordingly. Therefore, changes in the various local currency exchange rates, as applied to the revenue and expenses of the Company’s non-U.S. Dollar operations may have a significant impact on sales and, to a lesser extent, consolidated net income trends. In addition, a significant portion of the Company’s consolidated financial position is maintained at foreign locations and is denominated in functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The non-U.S. Dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at each respective currency’s exchange rate then in effect at the end of each reporting period. The financial impact of the translation process is reflected within the other comprehensive income component of shareholder’s equity. Accordingly, the amounts shown in our consolidated shareholder’s equity account will fluctuate depending upon the cumulative appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. Dollar versus each of the respective functional currencies in which Affinia conducts business. Management seeks to lessen the potential financial impact upon our consolidated results of operations due to exchange rate changes by engaging in business activities or by executing financial derivative transactions intended to mitigate specific transactional underlying currency exposures. Affinia does not engage in activities solely intended to counteract the impact that changes in currency exchange rates may have upon our U.S. Dollar reported statement of financial condition nor does Affinia engage in currency transactions for speculative purposes.

See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Venezuela Operations” for a discussion regarding the currency devaluation recorded in the first quarter of 2014, ~~and~~ the fourth quarter of ~~2014.~~2014 and the second quarter of 2015.

Affinia’s foreign currency exchange rate risk management efforts primarily focus upon operationally managing the net amount of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company routinely executes short-term currency exchange rate forward contracts intended to mitigate the earnings impact related to the re-measurement process. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Derivatives,” for additional information with respect to Affinia’s currency exchange rate derivatives.

Affinia is exposed to the risk of rising interest rates to the extent that it funds operations with short-term or variable-rate borrowings. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the Company’s ~~$815~~$822 million of aggregate debt outstanding consisted of ~~$565~~$572 million of floating-rate debt and $250 million of fixed-rate debt.

Pursuant to the Company’s interest rate risk management policy, it actively monitors and manages the fixed versus floating rate debt composition within a specified range. At quarter-end, fixed rate debt comprised 32% of total debt. Based on the amount of floating-rate debt outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, a 1% rise in interest rates would result in $5 million in incremental interest expense.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, Affinia conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015.

During the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, there were no changes in Affinia’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

For further information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Legal Proceedings” which information is incorporated into this Part II, Item 1 by reference.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that are not currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
