FEDERAL-MOGUL
CORPORATION
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September
30, 2010
1.
|
BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
|
Interim Financial Statements:
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Federal-Mogul
Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The Company’s management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2010.
Principles of Consolidation:
The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of
the Company, all wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any partially-owned subsidiary
that the Company has the ability to control. Control generally equates to
ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are
consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are
accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or
less are accounted for using the cost method. The Company does not consolidate
any entity for which it has a variable interest based solely on power to direct
the activities and significant participation in the entity’s expected results
that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting
interests. Further, the Company’s joint ventures are businesses established and
maintained in connection with its operating strategy. All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates: The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual
results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from
these estimates.
Controlling Ownership: Mr.
Carl C. Icahn indirectly controls approximately 76% of the voting power of the
Company’s capital stock and, by virtue of such stock ownership, is able to
control or exert substantial influence over the Company, including the election
of directors, business strategy and policies, mergers or other business
combinations, acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of common
stock or other securities, incurrence of debt or obtaining other sources of
financing, and the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock. The
existence of a controlling stockholder may have the effect of making it
difficult for, or may discourage or delay, a third party from seeking to acquire
a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which may adversely affect
the market price of the stock.
Mr.
Icahn’s interests may not always be consistent with the Company’s interests or
with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. Mr. Icahn and entities
controlled by him may also pursue acquisitions or business opportunities that
may or may not be complementary to the Company’s business. To the extent that
conflicts of interest may arise between the Company and Mr. Icahn and his
affiliates, those conflicts may be resolved in a manner adverse to the Company
or its other shareholders.
Acquisition: In June 2010,
the Company acquired 100% ownership of the Daros Group, a privately-owned
supplier of high technology piston rings for large-bore engines used in
industrial energy generation and commercial shipping, with manufacturing
operations in China, Germany and Sweden, for $39 million in cash. The Company is
in the process of allocating the purchase price in accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codifications (“ASC”)
Topic 805, Business
Combinations. The Company is utilizing a third party to assist in the
fair value determination of certain components of the purchase price allocation,
namely fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company has preliminarily
recorded intangible assets of $15 million, $11 million and $2 million for
definite-lived customer relationships, goodwill, and indefinite-lived trademarks
and brand names, respectively, associated with this acquisition. This
acquisition is included in the Powertrain Energy reporting
segment.
6
Trade Accounts Receivable:
Federal-Mogul subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and
Spain are party to accounts receivable factoring arrangements. Gross accounts
receivable factored under these facilities were $219 million and $217 million as
of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Of those gross
amounts, $188 million and $190 million, respectively, qualify as sales. The
remaining factored receivables of $31 million and $27 million, respectively,
were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded
in the consolidated balance sheets within “Accounts receivable, net” and
“Short-term debt, including current portion of long-term debt.” Under the terms
of these factoring arrangements, the Company is not obligated to draw cash
immediately upon the factoring of accounts receivable. Thus, as of September 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding factored amounts of less
than $1 million and $4 million, respectively, for which cash had not yet been
drawn. Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales
were $894 million and $845 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
and 2009, respectively.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, expenses associated with
receivables factored of $3 million and $1 million, respectively, were recorded
in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other income (expense),
net.” For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, expenses associated
with receivables factored of $5 million and $3 million, respectively, were
recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other income
(expense), net.” Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these
factored receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such,
a servicing asset or liability is not incurred as a result of these factoring
arrangements.
Equity and Comprehensive Income
(Loss): The following table presents a rollforward of the changes in
equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, including changes in the
components of comprehensive income (loss) (also contained in Note 14). In

New Accounting
Pronouncements: In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for
Transfers of Financial Assets. This guidance revises previous guidance
including: the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”)
concept; a new participating interest definition that must be met for transfers
of portions of financial assets to be eligible for sale accounting;
clarifications and changes to the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be
accounted for as a sale; and a change to the amount of recognized gain or loss
on a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale when beneficial
interests are received by the transferor. Additionally, the guidance requires
extensive new disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement in a transfer of
financial assets. Finally, existing QSPEs (prior to the effective date of this
guidance) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in
accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance upon the elimination of
this concept. The adoption of this new guidance effective January 1, 2010 had no
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
7
In June
2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17 Consolidation (Topic 810):
Improvements to
Financial Reporting by
Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This new guidance
revises previous guidance by eliminating the exemption for QSPE’s, and by
establishing a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable
interest entity. The adoption of this new guidance effective January 1, 2010 had
no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding fair
value measurements, including the amount and reasons for transfers between
levels within the fair value hierarchy and more detailed information regarding
the inputs and valuation techniques used in determining the fair value of assets
and liabilities classified as either Level 2 or Level 3 within the fair value
hierarchy. In addition, this ASU clarifies previous guidance related to the
level at which fair value disclosures should be disaggregated. The adoption of
these components of this new guidance was effective January 1, 2010. This ASU
further requires entities to report Level 3 rollforward activity on a gross
basis effective January 1, 2011. These additional disclosure requirements, to
the extent applicable, have been reflected in Note 5.
In
February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-08, Technical Corrections to Various
Topics. This new guidance had no material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In April
2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Accounting
for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts. This ASU
allows companies to account for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which were signed
into law on March 23, 2010 and March 30, 2010, respectively, as one event as
opposed to two separate events. This new guidance had no impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In May
2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-19, Foreign Currency (Topic 830):
Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The
purpose of this ASU was to codify the SEC Staff Announcement made at the March
18, 2010 meeting of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) by the SEC
Observer to the EITF. The Staff Announcement provides the SEC staff’s view on
certain foreign currency issues related to investments in Venezuela. This new
guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

RESTRUCTURING
|
The costs
contained within “Restructuring, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements
of operations are comprised of two types: employee costs (principally
termination benefits) and facility closure costs. Termination benefits are
accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 712, Compensation – Nonretirement
Postemployment Benefits, and are recorded when it is probable that
employees will be entitled to benefits and the amounts can be reasonably
estimated. Estimates of termination benefits are based on the frequency of past
termination benefits, the similarity of benefits under the current plan and
prior plans, and the existence of statutory required minimum benefits. Facility
closure and other costs are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 420,
Exit or Disposal Cost
Obligations, and are recorded when the liability is
incurred.
Estimates
of restructuring charges are based on information available at the time such
charges are recorded. In certain countries where the Company operates, statutory
requirements include involuntary termination benefits that extend several years
into the future. Accordingly, severance payments continue well past the date of
termination at many international locations. Thus, these programs appear to be
ongoing when, in fact, terminations and other activities under these programs
have been substantially completed. Management expects that future savings
resulting from execution of its restructuring programs will generally result in
full pay back within 36 months.
Management
expects to finance these restructuring programs through cash generated from its
ongoing operations or through cash available under its existing credit facility,
subject to the terms of applicable covenants. Management does not expect that
the execution of these programs will have an adverse impact on its liquidity
position.
8
The
Company’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute
management’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage
of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions.
Restructuring activities include efforts to integrate and rationalize the
Company’s businesses and to relocate manufacturing operations to best cost
markets. These activities generally fall into one of the following
categories:
1.
|
Closure
of facilities and relocation of production – in connection with the
Company’s strategy, certain operations have been closed and related
production relocated to best cost countries or to other locations with
available capacity.
|
2.
|

During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded $1
million and $7 million, respectively, in net restructuring. For the three months
ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded $1 million in facility closure
costs, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded $3
million in facility closure costs and $4 million in employee costs. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded $(1)
million and $38 million, respectively, in net restructuring, of which $(2)
million and $37 million, respectively, were employee costs, and $1 million and
$1 million, respectively, were facility closures. The facility closure costs
were fully paid within the quarter of incurrence.
Due to
the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual
amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially estimated.
Accordingly, previously recorded liabilities of $7 million and $39 million were
reversed for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Such reversals result from: changes in estimated amounts to accomplish
previously planned activities; changes in expected (based on historical
practice) outcome of negotiations with labor unions, which reduced the level of
originally committed actions; newly implemented government employment programs,
which lowered the expected cost; and changes in approach to accomplish
restructuring activities.
The
following table provides a quarterly summary of the Company’s consolidated
restructuring liabilities and related activity as of and for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 by reporting segment. “PTE,” “PTSB,” “VSP,” and “GA”

Activities
under Global “Restructuring 2009” Program
An
unprecedented downturn in the global automotive industry and global financial
markets led the Company to announce, in September and December 2008, certain
restructuring actions, herein referred to as “Restructuring 2009,” designed to
improve operating performance and respond to increasingly challenging conditions
in the global automotive market. It was anticipated that this plan would reduce
the Company’s global workforce by approximately 8,600 positions when compared
with the workforce as of September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, the Company recorded $(1) million in net restructuring
associated with Restructuring 2009, all of which were employee costs. During the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded $(3)
million and $37 million, respectively, in net restructuring associated with
Restructuring 2009, of which $(4) million and $36 million, respectively, were
employee costs, and $1 million and $1 million, respectively, were facility
closure costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring expenses up
to $2 million through 2011, of which $1 million are expected to be employee
costs and $1 million are expected to be facility closure costs. As the majority
of the costs expected to be incurred in relation to Restructuring 2009 are
related to severance, such activities are expected to yield future annual
savings at least equal to the incurred costs.
The
following table provides a quarterly summary of the Company’s Restructuring 2009
liabilities and related activity as of and for the nine months ended September
30, 2010 by reporting segment:

Foreign currency exchange:
The Company has operated an aftermarket distribution center in Venezuela for
several years, supplying imported replacement automotive parts to the local
independent aftermarket. Since 2005, two exchange rates have existed in
Venezuela: the official rate, which has been frozen since 2005 at 2.15 bolivars
per U.S. dollar; and the parallel rate, which floats at a rate much higher than
the official rate. Given the existence of the two rates in Venezuela, the
Company deemed the official rate was appropriate for the purpose of conversion
into U.S. dollars at December 31, 2009 based on no positive intent to repatriate
cash at the parallel rate and demonstrated ability to repatriate cash at the
official rate.
Near the
end of 2009, the three year cumulative inflation rate for Venezuela was above
100%, which requires the Venezuelan operation to report its results as though
the U.S. dollar is its functional currency in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
830, Foreign Currency
Matters, commencing January 1, 2010 (“inflationary accounting”). The
impact of this transition to a U.S. dollar functional currency is that any
change in the U.S. dollar value of bolivar denominated monetary assets and
liabilities must be recognized directly in earnings.
11
On
January 8, 2010, the official exchange rate was set by the Venezuelan government
at 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar, except for certain “strategic industries” that
are permitted to repatriate U.S. dollars at the rate of 2.6 bolivars per U.S.
dollar. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded
$20 million in foreign currency exchange expense due to this change in the
exchange rate. Based upon recent 2010 repatriations of cash, the Company
believes that all amounts submitted to the Venezuelan government for
repatriation prior to 2010 will be paid out at the “strategic” rate, with the
remaining monetary assets being converted at the official rate of
4.3.
Adjustment of assets to fair
value: The Company recorded $4 million in impairment charges during the
second quarter of 2010, of which $3 million related to the identification of a
Powertrain Energy facility where the Company’s assessment of future undiscounted
cash flows, when compared to the current carrying value of the plant and
equipment, indicated the assets were not fully recoverable. The Company
determined the fair value of the assets by applying a probability weighted,
expected present value technique to the estimated future cash flows using
assumptions a market participant would utilize. The discount rate used is
consistent with other long-lived asset fair value measurements. The carrying
value of these assets exceeded the resulting fair value by $3 million and an
impairment charge was recorded for that amount. The remaining $1 million in
impairment charges recorded during the second quarter of 2010 was made up of
immaterial fixed assets impairments at several Company facilities.
The
Company recorded $4 million in impairment charges during the first quarter of
2010 related to the identification of equipment at a Vehicle Safety and
Protection facility where the Company’s assessment of future undiscounted cash
flows, when compared to the current carrying value of the equipment, indicated
the assets were not recoverable. The Company determined the fair value of the
assets by applying a probability weighted, expected present value technique to
the estimated future cash flows using assumptions a market participant would
utilize. The discount rate used is consistent with other long-lived asset fair
value measurements. The carrying value of the assets exceeded the resulting fair
value by $4 million and an impairment charge was recorded for that
amount.
Environmental claims
settlements: The Company was a party to two lawsuits in Ohio and Michigan
relating to indemnification for costs arising from environmental releases from
industrial operations of the Company prior to 1986. During the first nine months
of 2009, the Company reached settlements with certain parties, which resulted in
net recoveries to the Company of $12 million.
Gain on sale of debt
investment: During the second quarter of 2009, an affiliate purchased and
sold debt investments on the Company’s behalf for $22 million and $30 million,
respectively. This resulted in a single cash transaction with the affiliate for
an $8 million net gain, which the Company recognized in other
income.
Gain on involuntary
conversion: During 2008, a fire occurred at a plant in Europe. The
Company received insurance proceeds of $7 million during the second quarter of
2009, which were recognized as gains.

FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
|
Interest
Rate Risk
The
Company, during 2008, entered into a series of five-year interest rate swap
agreements with a total notional value of $1,190 million to hedge the
variability of interest payments associated with its variable-rate term loans.
Through these swap agreements, the Company has fixed its base interest and
premium rate at a combined average interest rate of approximately 5.37% on the
hedged principal amount of $1,190 million. Since the interest rate swaps hedge
the variability of interest payments on variable rate debt with the same terms,
they qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. As of September 30, 2010
and December 31, 2009, unrealized net losses of $81 million and
$50 million, respectively, were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive
loss” as a result of these hedges. As of September 30, 2010, losses of
$37 million are expected to be reclassified from “Accumulated other
comprehensive loss” to consolidated statement of operations within the next
12 months.
12
These
interest rate swaps reduce the Company’s overall interest rate risk. However,
due to the remaining outstanding borrowings on the Company’s term loans and
other borrowing facilities that continue to have variable interest rates,
management believes that interest rate risk to the Company could be material if
there are significant adverse changes in interest rates.
Commodity
Price Risk
The
Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw
materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary
purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage
the volatility associated with forecasted purchases. The Company monitors its
commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness
of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include
natural gas, copper, nickel, tin, zinc, high-grade aluminum and aluminum alloy.
Forward contracts are used to mitigate commodity price risk associated with raw
materials, generally related to purchases forecast for up to fifteen months in
the future.
The
Company had commodity price hedge contracts outstanding with combined notional
values of $58 million and $28 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31,
2009, respectively, of which substantially all mature within one year. Of these
outstanding contracts, $57 million and $26 million in combined notional values
at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, were designated as
hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Unrealized net gains of $7 million
and $5 million were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Foreign
Currency Risk
The
Company manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America,
Asia, Europe and Africa. As a result, the Company's financial results could be
significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange
rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company
manufactures and sells its products. The Company's operating results are
primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and
European currencies.
To
minimize foreign currency risk, the Company generally maintains natural hedges
within its non-U.S. activities, including the matching of operational revenues
and costs. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company manages certain
aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the
use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies
hedged have historically included the euro, British pound, Japanese yen and
Canadian dollar. The Company had notional values of $19 million and $10 million
of foreign currency hedge contracts outstanding at September 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively, of which all mature in less than one year and
substantially all were designated as hedging instruments for accounting
purposes. Immaterial unrealized net losses were recorded in “Accumulated other
comprehensive loss” as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Other
The
Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral
under master netting agreements on a net basis. For derivatives designated as
cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of
hedge effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective
hedges, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, are recognized in
“Other income (expense), net.” Derivative gains and losses included in
“Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for effective hedges are reclassified
into operations upon recognition of the hedged transaction. Derivative gains and
losses associated with undesignated hedges are recognized in “Other income
(expense), net” for outstanding hedges and “Cost of products sold” upon hedge
maturity. The Company’s undesignated hedges are primarily commodity hedges and
such hedges have become undesignated mainly due to forecasted volume
declines.
13
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk, consist primarily of accounts receivable and cash investments. The
Company's customer base includes virtually every significant global light and
commercial vehicle manufacturer and a large number of distributors, installers
and retailers of automotive aftermarket parts. The Company's credit evaluation
process and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions help to mitigate
credit risk concentration. No individual customer accounted for more than 6% of
the Company’s sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company
requires placement of cash in financial institutions evaluated as highly
creditworthy.

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
FASB ASC
Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies that fair value is an exit price,
representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As
such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based
upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC Topic 820
establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used
in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1:
|
Observable
inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets;
|
Level
2:
|
Inputs,
other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either
directly or indirectly; and
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs
in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting
entity to develop its own
assumptions.
|
An
asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value
hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs.
Assets
and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following
three valuation techniques noted in FASB ASC Topic 820:
A.
|
Market
approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets or
liabilities.
|
16
B.
|
Cost
approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service
capacity of an asset (replacement
cost).
|
C.
|
Income
approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present
amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques,
option-pricing and excess earnings
models).

and liabilities remeasured and disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis are

The
Company calculates the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts, commodity
contracts and foreign currency contracts using quoted interest rate curves,
quoted commodity forward rates and quoted currency forward rates, respectively,
to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values.
The
discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted swap interest
rates or bank deposit rates. For contracts which, when aggregated by
counterparty, are in a liability position, the rates are adjusted by the credit
spread that market participants would apply if buying these contracts from the
Company’s counterparties.
In
addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the
Company also has assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis. As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair
value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the tables above. Assets
and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include
long-lived assets (see Note 3), investments in non-consolidated affiliates (see
Note 8) and conditional asset retirement obligations (see Note 13). The Company
has determined that the fair value measurements included in each of these assets
and liabilities rely primarily on the Company’s assumptions as observable inputs
are not available. As such, the Company has determined that each of these fair
value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy.

In June
2010, the Company acquired 100% ownership of the Daros Group, a privately-owned
supplier of high technology piston rings for large-bore engines used in
industrial energy generation and commercial shipping, with manufacturing
operations in China, Germany and Sweden, for $39 million in cash. The Company is
in the process of allocating the purchase price in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 805, Business
Combinations. The Company is utilizing a third party to assist in the
fair value determination of certain components of the purchase price allocation,
namely fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company has preliminarily
recorded intangible assets of $15 million, $11 million and $2 million of
definite-lived customer relationships, goodwill, and indefinite-lived trademarks
and brand names, respectively, associated with this acquisition. This
acquisition is included in the Powertrain Energy reporting segment.
During
each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company
recorded amortization expense of $12 million and $37 million, respectively,
associated with definite-lived intangible assets. The Company utilizes the
straight line method of amortization, recognized over the estimated useful lives
of the assets.

INVESTMENTS
IN NON-CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
|
The
Company maintains investments in 13 non-consolidated affiliates, which are
located in China, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom and
the United States. The Company’s direct ownership in such affiliates ranges from
approximately 1% to 50%. The aggregate investments in these affiliates were $223
million and $238 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively.
18
Equity
earnings of non-consolidated affiliates were $6 million and $5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $24 million
and $9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, these entities
generated sales of approximately $453 million, net income of approximately $58
million and at September 30, 2010 had total net assets of approximately $487
million. Dividends received from non-consolidated affiliates by the Company for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $27 million and $6
million, respectively. The Company does not hold a controlling interest in an
entity based solely on exposure to economic risks and potential rewards
(variable interests) for which it is the primary beneficiary. Further, the
Company’s joint ventures are businesses established and maintained in connection
with its operating strategy and are not special purpose entities.
The
Company holds a 50% non-controlling interest in a joint venture located in
Turkey. This joint venture was established in 1995 for the purpose of
manufacturing and marketing automotive parts, including pistons, piston rings,
piston pins, and cylinder liners to original equipment (“OE”) and aftermarket
customers. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the Company’s partner holds
an option to put its shares to a subsidiary of the Company at the higher of the
current fair value or at a guaranteed minimum amount. The term of the contingent
guarantee is indefinite, consistent with the terms of the joint venture
agreement. However, the contingent guarantee would not survive termination of
the joint venture agreement. The guaranteed minimum amount represents a
contingent guarantee of the initial investment of the joint venture partner and
can be exercised at the discretion of the partner. As of September 30, 2010, the
total amount of the contingent guarantee, were all triggering events to occur,
approximated $60 million. The Company believes that this contingent guarantee is
substantially less than the estimated current fair value of the guarantees’
interest in the affiliate. As such, the contingent guarantee does not give rise
to a contingent liability and, as a result, no amount is recorded for this
guarantee. If this put option were exercised, the consideration paid and net
assets acquired would be accounted for in accordance with business combination
accounting guidance. Any value in excess of the guaranteed minimum amount of the
put option would be the subject of negotiation between the Company and its joint
venture partner.
The
Company has determined that its investments in Chinese joint venture
arrangements are considered to be “limited-lived” as such entities have
specified durations ranging from 30 to 50 years pursuant to regional statutory
regulations. In general, these arrangements call for extension, renewal or
liquidation at the discretion of the parties to the arrangement at the end of
the contractual agreement. Accordingly, a reasonable assessment cannot be made
as to the impact of such arrangements on the future liquidity position of the
Company.

DEBT
|
On
December 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Term Loan and Revolving Credit
Agreement (the “Debt Facilities”) with Citicorp U.S.A. Inc. as Administrative
Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Syndication Agent and certain lenders. The
Debt Facilities include a $540 million revolving credit facility (which is
subject to a borrowing base and can be increased under certain circumstances and
subject to certain conditions) and a $2,960 million term loan credit
facility divided into a $1,960 million tranche B loan and a $1,000 million
tranche C loan. The obligations under the revolving credit facility mature
December 27, 2013 and bear interest in accordance with a pricing grid based on
availability under the revolving credit facility. Interest rates on the pricing
grid range from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 2.00% and ABR plus 0.50% to ABR
plus 1.00%. The tranche B term loans mature December 27, 2014 and the tranche C
term loans mature December 27, 2015. The tranche C term loans are subject to a
pre-payment premium, should the Company choose to prepay the loans prior to
December 27, 2011. All Debt Facilities term loans bear interest at LIBOR plus
1.9375% or at the alternate base rate (as previously defined) plus 0.9375% at
the Company’s election. To the extent that interest rates change by 25 basis
points, the Company’s annual interest expense would show a corresponding change
of approximately $4 million.
The
Company, during 2008, entered into a series of five-year interest rate swap
agreements with a total notional value of $1,190 million to hedge the
variability of interest payments associated with its variable-rate term loans
under the Debt Facilities. Through these swap agreements, the Company has fixed
its combined interest and premium rate at an average of approximately 5.37% on
the hedged principal amount of $1,190 million.

Debt
discount represents the excess of carrying value over fair value of the Debt
Facilities recorded in conjunction with the Company’s application of fresh-start
reporting at December 27, 2007, and is being amortized as interest expense over
the terms of each of the underlying components of the Debt Facilities. During
both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company
recognized $6 million and $17 million, respectively, in interest expense
associated with the amortization of this fair value adjustment.
The
obligations of the Company under the Debt Facilities are guaranteed by
substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries
of the Company, and are secured by substantially all personal property and
certain real property of the Company and such guarantors, subject to certain
limitations. The liens granted to secure these obligations and certain cash
management and hedging obligations have first priority.
The Debt
Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants and events of
default, including, subject to certain exceptions, restrictions on incurring
additional indebtedness, mandatory prepayment provisions associated with
specified asset sales and dispositions, and limitations on i) investments; ii)
certain acquisitions, mergers or consolidations; iii) sale and leaseback
transactions; iv) certain transactions with affiliates; and v) dividends and
other payments in respect of capital stock.

The
Company had $48 million and $50 million of letters of credit outstanding at
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, all pertaining to the
term loan credit facility. To the extent letters of credit associated with the
revolving credit facility are issued, there is a corresponding decrease in
borrowings available under this facility.
As of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the estimated fair values of the
Company’s Debt Facilities were $2,533 million and $2,444 million, respectively.
The estimated fair values were $244 million lower at September 30, 2010 and $338
million lower at December 31, 2009 than their respective carrying values. Fair
market values are developed by the use of estimates obtained from brokers and
other appropriate valuation techniques based on information available as of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The fair value estimates do not
necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current
markets.

On March
23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law and
on March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, was also signed into law. The Company continues to
assess the accounting implications of these bills. See Note 12, Income Taxes,
below for further discussion on the impact of these bills.
On May 6,
2010, the Company approved an amendment to its U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, which
eliminated Other Postemployment Benefits for certain salaried and non-union
hourly employees and retirees effective July 1, 2010. This amendment reduced the
Company’s accumulated postemployment benefit obligation (“APBO”) by $135
million, of which $131 million is being amortized over the average remaining
service lives of active participants (approximately 9 years). The remaining $4
million resulted in a curtailment gain, which was recognized in the consolidated
statements of operations during the second quarter of 2010.
On July
23, 2010, as a result of the union negotiations with one of the Company’s U.S.
manufacturing locations, Other Postemployment Benefits were eliminated for that
location’s hourly union employees effective August 2, 2010. The reduction to the
remaining active future service life of the active service participants of the
U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan caused by this benefit elimination was significant
enough to trigger a curtailment gain. The curtailment gain was calculated by
applying the percentage reduction of the remaining active future service life to
the prior service credits contained within “Accumulated other comprehensive
loss” at the time of this benefit elimination. The Company recognized a $24
million curtailment gain in the consolidated statements of operations during the
third quarter of 2010.
On June
25, 2010, the U.S. Government passed a pension funding relief bill in which the
Company elected to participate. This election will reduce the Company’s 2010
pension contribution by $25 million, $15 million of which was realized in the
third quarter of 2010, with the remaining $10 million to be realized in the
fourth quarter of 2010.
12.
|
INCOME
TAXES
|
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded income tax expense of
$18 million on income before income taxes of $138 million. This compares to an
income tax benefit of $11 million on a loss before income taxes of $90 million
in the same period of 2009. The income tax expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to foreign
rates which differ from the U.S. rate, non-recognition of income tax benefits on
certain operating losses, non-recognition of income tax expense on certain
operating income due to the utilization of net operating losses with valuation
allowances and the reversal of valuation allowances against net deferred tax
assets of Belgium and Brazilian subsidiaries. The income tax benefit for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due
primarily to foreign rates which differ from the U.S. statutory rate,
non-recognition of income tax benefits on certain operating losses and
non-deductible items in various jurisdictions. This benefit includes $20 million
due to the required intraperiod tax allocation in jurisdictions with a loss from
continuing operations, other comprehensive income and a valuation allowance.
This benefit was partially offset by tax expense in profitable
jurisdictions.
22
The
Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax
benefits in multiple jurisdictions, which primarily relate to transfer pricing,
corporate reorganization and various other matters, may decrease by
approximately $300 million in the next 12 months due to audit settlements or
statute expirations, of which approximately $30 million, if recognized, could
impact the effective tax rate.
On March
23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law and
on March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, was also signed into law. These bills will reduce
the tax deduction available to the Company to the extent of receipt of the
Medicare Part D subsidy. Although this legislation does not take effect until
2012, the Company is required to recognize the impact in the financial
statements in the period in which it is signed. Due to the full valuation
allowance recorded against deferred tax assets in the United States, this
legislation will not impact the Company’s 2010 effective tax
rate.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
|
Environmental
Matters
The
Company is a defendant in lawsuits filed, or the recipient of administrative
orders issued or demand letters received, in various jurisdictions pursuant to
the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980 (“CERCLA”) or other similar national, provincial or state environmental
remedial laws. These laws provide that responsible parties may be liable to pay
for remediating contamination resulting from hazardous substances that were
discharged into the environment by them, by prior owners or occupants of
property they currently own or operate, or by others to whom they sent such
substances for treatment or other disposition at third party locations. The
Company has been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies
that it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the
cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to CERCLA and other national
and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation often results in the
funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities.
Many of
the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or
former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent
wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed
on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these
sites, the Company’s share of the total waste sent to these sites has generally
been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is
limited.
The
Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which
it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination,
in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state
environmental laws. The Company is actively seeking to resolve these actual and
potential statutory, regulatory and contractual obligations. Although difficult
to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, the Company has accrued
amounts corresponding to its best estimate of the costs associated with such
regulatory and contractual obligations on the basis of available information
from site investigations and best professional judgment of
consultants.
Total
environmental liabilities, determined on an undiscounted basis, were $20 million
and $22 million at September
30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and are included in the
consolidated balance sheets as follows:

|

$ | 20 | $ | 22 |
23
Management
believes that recorded environmental liabilities will be adequate to cover the
Company’s estimated liability for its exposure in respect to such matters. In
the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts
recorded by the Company, the Company’s results of operations and financial
condition could be materially affected. At September 30, 2010, management
estimates that reasonably possible material additional losses above and beyond
management’s best estimate of required remediation costs as recorded approximate
$44 million.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
The
Company records asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 410, Asset Retirement
and Environmental Obligations. The Company’s primary ARO activities
relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The
Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount
can be reasonably estimated, typically upon the expectation that an operating
site may be closed or sold. ARO fair values are determined based on the
Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the
remediation activities, generally using a present value technique. The Company
has identified sites with contractual obligations and several sites that are
closed or expected to be closed and sold. In connection with these sites, the
Company has accrued $27 million and $30 million as of September 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively, for ARO, primarily related to anticipated costs
of removing hazardous building materials, and has considered impairment issues
that may result from capitalization of these ARO amounts.
For those
sites that the Company identifies in the future for closure or sale, or for
which it otherwise believes it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to
a range of potential settlement dates, the Company will review these sites for
both ARO and impairment issues.
Liabilities
for ARO are included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

The
Company has conditional asset retirement obligations ("CARO"), primarily related
to removal costs of hazardous materials in buildings, for which it believes
reasonable cost estimates cannot be made at this time because the Company does
not believe it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of
potential settlement dates for these retirement obligations. Accordingly, the
Company is currently unable to determine amounts to accrue for CARO at such
sites.
Other
Matters
The
Company is involved in other legal actions and claims, directly and through its
subsidiaries. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these other
actions or claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

On

shares of the Company at an exercise price equal to $45.815, exercisable through
December 27, 2014. All of these warrants remain outstanding as of September 30,
2010.

STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
|
CEO
Stock-Based Compensation Agreement
On March
23, 2010, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement, which extended Mr. Alapont’s employment with the Company for three
years. Also on March 23, 2010, the Company amended and restated the Stock Option
Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Alapont dated as of February 15,
2008 (the “Restated Stock Option Agreement”). The Restated Stock Option
Agreement removed Mr. Alapont’s put option to sell stock received from a stock
option exercise to the Company for cash. The Restated Stock Option Agreement
provides for pay out of any exercise of Mr. Alapont’s stock options in stock or,
at the election of the Company, in cash. The awards were previously accounted
for as liability awards based on the optional cash exercise feature, however the
accounting impact associated with this modification is that the options are now
considered an equity award as of March 23, 2010.
The
Company revalued the stock options granted to Mr. Alapont at March 23, 2010,
resulting in a revised fair value of $27 million. This amount was reclassified
from “Other accrued liabilities” to “Additional paid-in capital” due to their
equity award status. As these stock options are fully vested, no further expense
related to these options will be recognized. The Company revalued the Deferred
Compensation Agreement, which was also amended and restated on March 23, 2010,
at September 30, 2010, resulting in a revised fair value of $7 million. Since
this agreement provides for net cash settlement at the option of Mr. Alapont, it
continues to be treated as a liability award as of September 30, 2010 and
through its eventual payout. During the three months ended September 30, 2010,
the Company recognized immaterial income associated with Mr. Alapont’s Deferred
Compensation Agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the
Company recognized $6 million in expense associated with Mr. Alapont’s stock
options and Deferred Compensation Agreement. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $7 million and $13 million
in expense associated with Mr. Alapont’s stock options and Deferred Compensation
Agreement. Key assumptions and related option-pricing models used by the Company
are summarized in the following table:

Expected
volatility is based on the average of five-year historical volatility and

measurement date. Risk-free rate is determined based upon U.S. Treasury rates
over the estimated expected lives. Expected dividend yield is zero as the
Company has not paid dividends to holders of its common stock in the recent past
nor does it expect to do so in the future. Expected lives are equal to one-half
of the time to the end of the term.
Stock
Appreciation Rights
On
February 22, 2010, the Company granted approximately 437,000 stock appreciation
rights (“SARs”) to certain employees, of which approximately 20,000 SARs have
been forfeited as of September 30, 2010. The SARs vest in equal annual
installments over a period of three years and have a term of five years from
date of grant. The SARs are payable in cash or, at the election of the Company,
in stock. As the Company anticipates paying out SARs exercises in the form of
cash, the SARs are being treated as liability awards for accounting purposes.
The Company valued the SARs at September 30, 2010, resulting in a fair value of
$3 million. SARs expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010
was immaterial and $1 million, respectively. The SARs fair value was estimated
using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following
assumptions:

Expected
volatility is based on the average of five-year historical volatility and

over the estimated expected lives. Expected dividend yield is zero as the
Company has not paid dividends to holders of its common stock in the recent past
nor does it expect to do so in the future. Expected forfeitures are zero as the
Company has no historical experience with SARs; the impact of forfeitures is
recognized by the Company upon occurrence. Expected life is the average of the
time until the award is fully vested and the end of the
term.

The
Company recognized a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As a
result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share
as any potentially dilutive securities would reduce the loss per common
share.
Options
and warrants to purchase 4,000,000 and 6,951,871 common shares, respectively,
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s
common shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
The
500,000 common shares issued in connection with the Deferred Compensation
Agreement described in Note 16 are excluded from the basic earnings per share
calculation as required by FASB ASC Topic 710, Compensation.

OPERATIONS
BY REPORTING SEGMENT
|
The
Company's integrated operations are organized into five reporting segments
generally corresponding to major product groups: Powertrain Energy, Powertrain
Sealing and Bearings, Vehicle Safety and Protection, Global Aftermarket and
Corporate.
The
accounting policies of the reporting segments are the same as those of the
Company. Revenues related to products sold from Powertrain Energy, Powertrain
Sealing and Bearings, and Vehicle Safety and Protection to OE customers are
recorded within the respective reporting segments. Revenues from such products
sold to aftermarket customers are recorded within the Global Aftermarket
segment. All product transferred into Global Aftermarket from other reporting
segments is transferred at cost in the United States and at agreed-upon
arm’s-length transfer prices internationally.
The
Company evaluates reporting segment performance principally on a non-GAAP
Operational EBITDA basis. Management believes that Operational EBITDA most
closely approximates the cash flow associated with the operational earnings of
the Company and uses Operational EBITDA to measure the performance of its
operations. Operational EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain items such as restructuring
and impairment charges, Chapter 11 and U.K. Administration related
reorganization expenses, gains or losses on the sales of businesses, expense
associated with U.S. based funded pension plans and OPEB curtailment
gains.

Overview
Federal-Mogul
Corporation is a
leading global supplier of technology and innovation in vehicle and industrial
products for fuel economy, alternative energies, environment and safety systems.
The Company serves the world’s foremost original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”)
of automotive, light commercial, heavy-duty, industrial, agricultural,
aerospace, marine, rail, and off-road vehicles, as well as the worldwide
aftermarket. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company
derived 62% of its sales from the OEM market and 38% from the aftermarket. The
Company seeks to participate in both of these markets by leveraging its original
equipment product engineering and development capability, manufacturing
know-how, and expertise in managing a broad and deep range of replacement parts
to service the aftermarket. The Company believes that it is uniquely positioned
to effectively manage the life cycle of a broad range of products to a diverse
customer base.
Federal-Mogul
has established a global presence and conducts its operations through various
manufacturing, distribution and technical centers that are wholly-owned
subsidiaries or partially-owned joint ventures. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, the Company derived 40% of its sales in the United States
and 60% internationally. The Company has operations in established markets
including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, the United
Kingdom and the United States, and emerging markets including Argentina, Brazil,
China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South
Africa, Thailand, Turkey and Venezuela. The attendant risks of the Company’s
international operations are primarily related to currency fluctuations, changes
in local economic and political conditions, and changes in laws and
regulations.
Federal-Mogul
offers its customers a diverse array of market-leading products for OEM and
replacement parts (“aftermarket”) applications, including pistons, piston rings,
piston pins, cylinder liners, valve seats and guides, ignition products, dynamic
seals, bonded piston seals, combustion and exhaust gaskets, static gaskets and
seals, rigid heat shields, engine bearings, industrial bearings, bushings and
washers, transmission components, brake disc pads, brake linings, brake blocks,
element resistant systems protection sleeving products, acoustic shielding,
flexible heat shields, brake system components, chassis products, wipers, fuel
pumps and lighting.
30
The
Company operates in an extremely competitive industry, driven by global vehicle
production volumes and part replacement trends. Business is typically awarded to
the supplier offering the most favorable combination of cost, quality,
technology and service. Customers continue to require periodic cost reductions
that require the Company to continually assess, redefine and improve its
operations, products, and manufacturing capabilities to maintain and improve
profitability. Management continues to develop and execute initiatives to meet
the challenges of the industry and to achieve its strategy for sustainable
global profitable growth.

Net sales
increased by $164 million, or 12%, to $1,544 million for the third quarter of
2010 from $1,380 million in the same period of 2009. The impact of the U.S.
dollar strengthening, primarily against the euro, decreased reported sales by
$44 million.
In
general, light and commercial vehicle OE production increased in all regions
and, when combined with market share gains in all regions across all three
manufacturing segments, resulted in increased OE sales of $224 million.
Aftermarket sales decreased by $4 million due to $6 million in reduced sales in
Venezuela as a direct consequence of currency restrictions, partially offset by
net sales gains of $2 million in all other regions. Net customer price decreases
were $12 million.
Cost of
products sold increased by $138 million to $1,306 million for the third quarter
of 2010 compared to $1,168 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to
an increase in manufacturing, labor and variable overhead costs of $172 million
as a direct consequence of the higher production volumes, unfavorable
productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation, of $4 million, increased
depreciation expense of $2 million and increased pension expense of $1 million,
partially offset by currency movements of $34 million, and materials and
services sourcing savings of $7 million.
Gross
margin increased by $26 million to $238 million, or 15.4% of sales, for the
third quarter of 2010 compared to $212 million, or 15.4% of sales, in the same
period of 2009. Net customer price decreases of $12 million, currency movements
of $10 million, unfavorable productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation,
of $4 million, increased depreciation expense of $2 million and increased
pension expense of $1 million were more than offset by sales volume increases,
which increased gross margin by $48 million, and materials and services sourcing
savings of $7 million.

Sales
increased by $99 million, or 27%, to $469 million for the third quarter of 2010
from $370 million in the same period of 2009. Sales volumes increased by $119
million due to OE production volume increases and market share gains in all
regions. PTE generates approximately 75% of its revenue outside the United
States and the resulting currency movements decreased sales by $19 million.
Continued customer pricing pressure reduced sales by $1 million.
Cost of
products sold increased by $79 million to $415 million for the third quarter of
2010 compared to $336 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to a $92
million increase directly associated with increased sales volume, unfavorable
materials and services sourcing of $1 million and increased depreciation expense
of $1 million, partially offset by currency movements of $14 million and
favorable productivity, in excess of labor and benefits inflation, of $1
million.
Gross
margin increased by $20 million to $54 million, or 11.5% of sales, for the third
quarter of 2010 compared to $34 million, or 9.2% of sales, for the third quarter
of 2009. The increase was due to improved sales volumes, which increased gross
margin by $27 million, and favorable productivity, in excess of labor and
benefits inflation, of $1 million, partially offset by currency movements of $5
million, customer price decreases of $1 million, unfavorable materials and
services sourcing of $1 million and increased depreciation expense of $1
million.
Operational
EBITDA increased by $19 million to $66 million for the third quarter of 2010
from $47 million in the same period of 2009. The impact of increased sales
volumes of $27 million, improved equity earnings of non-consolidated affiliates
of $1 million and other increases of $1 million were partially offset by
currency movements of $5 million, unfavorable productivity, net of labor and
benefits inflation, of $3 million, unfavorable materials and services sourcing
of $1 million and customer price decreases of $1 million.
Powertrain
Sealing and Bearings
Sales
increased by $62 million, or 30%, to $271 million for the third quarter of 2010
from $209 million in the same period of 2009. Sales volumes increased by $72
million due to OE production volume increases and market share gains in all
regions. Approximately 65% of PTSB’s revenues are generated outside the United
States and the resulting currency movements decreased sales by $10
million.
Cost of
products sold increased by $45 million to $244 million for the third quarter of
2010 compared to $199 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to a $48
million increase directly associated with the increased sales, unfavorable
productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation, of $6 million and increased
depreciation expense of $1 million, partially offset by currency movements of $9
million and favorable materials and services sourcing of $1
million.
Gross
margin increased by $17 million to $27 million, or 10.0% of sales, for the third
quarter of 2010 compared to $10 million, or 4.8% of sales, for the third quarter
of 2009. The increase was due to improved sales volumes, which increased gross
margin by $24 million, and materials and services sourcing improvements of $1
million, partially offset by unfavorable productivity, net of labor and benefits
inflation, of $6 million, increased depreciation of $1 million and currency
movements of $1 million.
Operational
EBITDA increased by $16 million to $24 million for the third quarter of 2010
from $8 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to the favorable impact
of sales volumes increases of $24 million, favorable materials and services
sourcing of $1 million and other increases of $1 million, partially offset by
unfavorable productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation, of $9 million and
currency movements of $1 million.
Vehicle
Safety and Protection
Sales
increased by $23 million, or 11%, to $231 million for the third quarter of 2010
from $208 million in the same period of 2009. Sales volumes rose by $33 million
due to increased OE production and market share gains in all regions.
Approximately 70% of VSP sales are generated outside the United States and the
resulting currency movements decreased sales by $8 million. Continued customer
pricing pressure reduced sales by $2 million.
34
Cost of
products sold increased by $13 million to $172 million for the third quarter of
2010 compared to $159 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to a $23
million increase directly associated with the increased sales volume. This
increase was partly offset by currency movements of $5 million, favorable
productivity, in excess of labor and benefits inflation, of $4 million and
favorable materials and services sourcing of $1 million.
Gross
margin increased by $10 million to $59 million, or 25.5% of sales, for the third
quarter of 2010 compared to $49 million, or 23.6% of sales, for the third
quarter of 2009. This increase was due to improved sales volume, which increased
gross margin by $10 million, favorable productivity, in excess of labor and
benefits inflation, of $4 million and favorable materials and services sourcing
of $1 million, partially offset by currency movements of $3 million and customer
price decreases of $2 million.
Operational
EBITDA increased by $7 million to $56 million for the third quarter of 2010 from
$49 million in the same period of 2009. The increase was due to the impact of
increased sales volumes of $10 million, favorable productivity, in excess of
labor and benefits inflation, of $2 million and favorable material and services
sourcing of $1 million, partially offset by currency movements of $4 million and
customer price decreases of $2 million.
Global
Aftermarket
Sales
decreased by $20 million, or 3%, to $573 million for the third quarter of 2010,
from $593 million in the same period of 2009. This decrease was due to $4
million in decreased sales volumes due to $6 million in reduced sales in
Venezuela as a direct consequence of currency restrictions, partially offset by
net sales gains of $2 million in all other regions, foreign currency movements
of $7 million and customer price decreases of $9 million.
Cost of
products sold decreased by $1 million to $473 million for the third quarter of
2010 compared to $474 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to a $9
million increase directly associated with an unfavorable sales mix and
unfavorable productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation, of $1 million,
partially offset by favorable materials and services sourcing of $6 million and
currency movements of $5 million.
Gross
margin decreased by $19 million to $100 million, or 17.5% of sales, for the
third quarter of 2010 compared to $119 million, or 20.1% of sales, in the same
period of 2009. This decrease was due to decreased sales volume and an
unfavorable sales mix, which decreased gross margin by $13 million, customer
price decreases of $9 million, currency movements of $2 million and unfavorable
productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation, of $1 million, partially
offset by favorable materials and services sourcing of $6 million.
Operational
EBITDA decreased by $17 million to $65 million for the third quarter of 2010
from $82 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to decreased sales
volume and an unfavorable sales mix of $13 million, customer price decreases of
$9 million and currency movements of $1 million, partially offset by favorable
materials and services sourcing of $6 million.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $164 million, or 10.6% of
net sales, for the third quarter of 2010 as compared to $173 million, or 12.5%
of net sales, for the same quarter of 2009. This $9 million decrease was due to
reduced stock-based compensation expense of $6 million, currency movements of $5
million, favorable materials and services sourcing of $2 million, decreased
pension expense of $2 million and other decreases of $6 million, partially
offset by unfavorable productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation, of $11
million and increased depreciation of $1 million.
The
Company maintains technical centers throughout the world designed to integrate
the Company’s leading technologies into advanced products and processes, to
provide engineering support for all of the Company’s manufacturing sites, and to
provide technological expertise in engineering and design development providing
solutions for customers and bringing new, innovative products to market.
Included in SG&A were research and development (“R&D”) costs, including
product and validation costs, of $39 million for the third quarter of 2010
compared with $36 million for the same period in 2009. As a percentage of OE
sales, R&D was 4.0% and 4.6% for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.

OPEB Curtailment Gains
On July
23, 2010, as a result of the union negotiations with one of the Company’s U.S.
manufacturing locations, Other Postemployment Benefits were eliminated for that
location’s hourly union employees effective August 2, 2010. The reduction to the
remaining active future service life of the active service participants of the
U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan caused by this benefit elimination was significant
enough to trigger a curtailment gain. The curtailment gain was calculated by
applying the percentage reduction of the remaining active future service life to
the prior service credits contained within “Accumulated other comprehensive
loss” at the time of this benefit elimination. The Company recognized a $24
million curtailment gain during the third quarter of 2010.
Interest
Expense, Net
Net
interest expense was $32 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $33
million for the third quarter of 2009.

Other

million for the third quarter of 2009.
Income
Taxes
For the
three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded income tax expense
of $6 million on income before income taxes of $60 million. This compares to an
income tax benefit of $6 million on income before income taxes of $9 million in
the same period of 2009. The income tax expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to foreign
rates which differ from the U.S. rate, non-recognition of income tax benefits on
certain operating losses, non-recognition of income tax expense on certain
operating income due to the utilization of net operating losses with valuation
allowances and the reversal of a valuation allowance against net deferred tax
assets of a Brazilian subsidiary. The income tax benefit for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to
foreign rates which differ from the U.S. statutory rate, non-recognition of
income tax benefits on certain operating losses and non-deductible items in
various jurisdictions. This benefit includes $7 million due to the required
intraperiod tax allocation in jurisdictions with a loss from continuing
operations, other comprehensive income and a valuation allowance. This benefit
was partially offset by tax expense in profitable jurisdictions.
The
Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax
benefits in multiple jurisdictions, which primarily relates to transfer pricing,
corporate reorganization and various other matters, may decrease by
approximately $300 million in the next 12 months due to audit settlements or
statute expirations, of which approximately $30 million, if recognized, could
impact the effective tax rate.

Net sales
increased by $709 million, or 18%, to $4,631 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from $3,922 million in the same period of 2009. The impact of
the U.S. dollar strengthening, primarily against the euro, decreased reported
sales by $14 million.
In
general, light and commercial vehicle OE production increased in all regions
and, when combined with market share gains in all regions across all three
manufacturing segments, resulted in increased OE sales of $800 million.
Aftermarket sales fell by $42 million due to $45 million in reduced sales in
Venezuela as a direct consequence of currency restrictions, partially offset by
net sales gains of $3 million in all other regions. Net customer price decreases
were $35 million.
Cost of
products sold increased by $510 million to $3,865 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 compared to $3,355 million in the same period of 2009.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in manufacturing, labor and
variable overhead costs of $584 million as a direct consequence of the higher
production volumes, currency movements of $13 million and increased depreciation
of $3 million, partially offset by materials and services sourcing savings of
$59 million, productivity and operational efficiency, in excess of labor and
benefits inflation, of $28 million and decreased pension expense of $3
million.
Gross
margin increased by $199 million to $766 million, or 16.5% of sales, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $567 million, or 14.5% of
sales, in the same period of 2009. Net customer price decreases of $35 million,
currency movements of $27 million and increased depreciation of $3 million were
more than offset by sales volume increases, which increased gross margin by $174
million, materials and services sourcing savings of $59 million, productivity
and operational efficiency, in excess of labor and benefits inflation, of $28
million and decreased pension expense of $3 million.

Energy
Sales
increased by $360 million, or 36%, to $1,359 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from $999 million in the same period of 2009. Sales volumes
increased by $382 million due to OE production volume increases and market share
gains in all regions. PTE generates approximately 80% of its revenue outside the
United States and the resulting currency movements decreased sales by $13
million. Continued customer pricing pressure reduced sales by $9
million.
Cost of
products sold increased by $267 million to $1,192 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 compared to $925 million in the same period of 2009.
This was primarily due to a $282 million increase directly associated with
increased sales volume, increased depreciation of $2 million and currency
movements of $7 million. These increases were partially offset by favorable
productivity, in excess of labor and benefits inflation, of $20 million, and
materials and services sourcing savings of $4 million.
Gross
margin increased by $93 million to $167 million, or 12.3% of sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $74 million, or 7.4% of sales, for
the same period of 2009. The increase was due to improved sales volumes, which
increased gross margin by $100 million, favorable productivity in excess of
labor and benefits inflation of $20 million, and materials and services sourcing
improvements of $4 million, partially offset by currency movements of $20
million, customer price decreases of $9 million and increased depreciation of $2
million.
Operational
EBITDA increased by $102 million to $207 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from $105 million in the same period of 2009. The impact of
increased sales volumes of $100 million, favorable productivity, in excess of
labor and benefits inflation, of $14 million, improved equity earnings of
non-consolidated affiliates of $12 million, and favorable materials and services
sourcing of $4 million were partially offset by currency movements of $19
million and customer price decreases of $9 million.
Powertrain
Sealing and Bearings
Sales
increased by $244 million, or 42%, to $820 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from $576 million in the same period of 2009. Sales volumes
increased by $257 million due to OE production volume increases and market share
gains in all regions. Approximately 65% of PTSB’s revenues are generated outside
the United States and the resulting foreign currency movements decreased sales
by $9 million. Continued customer pricing pressure reduced sales by $4
million.
Cost of
products sold increased by $162 million to $736 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 compared to $574 million in the same period of 2009.
This was primarily due to a $181 million increase directly associated with the
increased sales and increased depreciation of $3 million, partially offset by
favorable materials and services sourcing of $15 million, favorable
productivity, in excess of labor and benefits inflation, of $4 million and
currency movements of $3 million.
Gross
margin increased by $82 million to $84 million, or 10.2% of sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $2 million, or 0.3% of sales, for
the same period of 2009. The increase was due to improved sales volumes, which
increased gross margin by $76 million, materials and services sourcing
improvements of $15 million and favorable productivity, in excess of labor and
benefits inflation, of $4 million, partially offset by currency movements of $6
million, customer price decreases of $4 million and increased depreciation of $3
million.
Operational
EBITDA increased by $73 million to $76 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from $3 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to
the favorable impact of sales volumes increases of $76 million, and materials
and services sourcing savings of $13 million, partially offset by unfavorable
productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation, of $5 million, customer price
decreases of $4 million, foreign currency movements of $1 million and other
decreases of $6 million.

Vehicle
Safety and Protection
Sales
increased by $148 million, or 27%, to $693 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from $545 million in the same period of 2009. Sales volumes
rose by $161 million due to increased OE production and market share gains in
all regions. Continued customer pricing pressure reduced sales by $9 million.
Approximately 70% of VSP sales are generated outside the United States and the
resulting currency movements decreased sales by $4 million.
Cost of
products sold increased by $93 million to $509 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $416 million in the same period of 2009. This was
primarily due to a $120 million increase directly associated with increased
sales volume and currency movements of $3 million. These increases were
partially offset by materials and services sourcing savings of $16 million,
favorable productivity, in excess of labor and benefits inflation, of $12
million and decreased depreciation of $2 million.
Gross
margin increased by $55 million to $184 million, or 26.6% of sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $129 million, or 23.7% of sales, for
the identical period in 2009. This increase was due to improved sales volumes,
which increased gross margin by $41 million, materials and services sourcing
improvements of $16 million, favorable productivity, in excess of labor and
benefits inflation, of $12 million and decreased depreciation of $2 million,
partially offset by customer price decreases of $9 million and currency
movements of $7 million.
Operational
EBITDA increased by $48 million to $173 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from $125 million in the same period of 2009. This was due to
the favorable impact of sales volumes increases of $41 million, materials and
services sourcing savings of $16 million, favorable productivity, in excess of
labor and benefits inflation, of $7 million and improved equity earnings of
non-consolidated affiliates of $1 million, partially offset by customer price
decreases of $9 million and currency movements of $8 million.
Global
Aftermarket
Sales
decreased by $43 million, or 2%, to $1,759 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, from $1,802 million in the same period of 2009. This change
was due to decreased sales volumes of $42 million due to $45 million in reduced
sales in Venezuela as a direct consequence of currency restrictions, partially
offset by net sales gains of $3 million in all other regions, and customer price
decreases of $13 million, partially offset by currency movements of $12
million.
Cost of
products sold decreased by $14 million to $1,425 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1,439 million in the same period of 2009.
This decrease was due to favorable materials and services sourcing of $24
million. These decreases were partially offset by currency movements of $6
million, unfavorable productivity, net of labor and benefits inflation, of $3
million and a $1 million increase directly associated with an unfavorable sales
mix that was mostly offset by a decline in sales volume.
Gross
margin decreased by $29 million to $334 million, or 19.0% of sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $363 million, or 20.1% of sales, in
the same period of 2009. This decrease was due to lower sales volumes and
unfavorable sales mix, which decreased gross margin by $43 million, customer
price decreases of $13 million and unfavorable productivity, net of labor and
benefits inflation, of $3 million, partially offset by favorable materials and
services sourcing of $24 million and currency movements of $6
million.
Operational
EBITDA decreased by $21 million to $224 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from $245 million in the same period of 2009. This decrease
was due to the unfavorable impact of lower sales volumes and sales mix of $43
million and customer price decreases of $13 million, partially offset by
favorable materials and services sourcing of $24 million, currency movements of
$5 million, improved productivity, in excess of labor and benefits inflation, of
$3 million, improved equity earnings of non-consolidated affiliates of $2
million and other increases of $1 million.
41
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $516 million, or 11.1% of
net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $527
million, or 13.4% of net sales, for the same period of 2009. This $11 million
decrease was due to reduced pension expense of $6 million, favorable materials
and services sourcing of $4 million and other reductions of $13 million,
partially offset by unfavorable productivity, net of labor and benefits
inflation, of $11 million and increased depreciation of $1 million.
The
Company maintains technical centers throughout the world designed to integrate
the Company’s leading technologies into advanced products and processes, to
provide engineering support for all of the Company’s manufacturing sites, and to
provide technological expertise in engineering and design development providing
solutions for customers and bringing new, innovative products to market.
Included in SG&A were research and development (“R&D”) costs, including
product and validation costs, of $116 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared with $105 million for the same period in 2009. As a
percentage of OE sales, R&D was 4.0% and 5.0% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
OPEB
Curtailment Gains
On May 6,
2010, the Company approved an amendment to its U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, which
eliminated Other Postemployment Benefits for certain salaried and non-union
hourly employees and retirees effective July 1, 2010. This amendment reduced the
Company’s accumulated postemployment benefit obligation (“APBO”) by $135
million, of which $131 million is being amortized over the average remaining
service lives of active participants (approximately 9 years). The remaining $4
million resulted in a curtailment gain, which was recognized during the second
quarter of 2010.
On July
23, 2010, as a result of the union negotiations with one of the Company’s U.S.
manufacturing locations, Other Postemployment Benefits were eliminated for that
location’s hourly union employees effective August 2, 2010. The reduction to the
remaining active future service life of the active service participants of the
U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan caused by this benefit elimination was significant
enough to trigger a curtailment gain. The curtailment gain was calculated by
applying the percentage reduction of the remaining active future service life to
the prior service credits contained within “Accumulated other comprehensive
loss” at the time of this benefit elimination. The Company recognized a $24
million curtailment gain during the third quarter of 2010.

Foreign currency exchange:
The Company has operated an aftermarket distribution center in Venezuela for
several years, supplying imported replacement automotive parts to the local
independent aftermarket. Since 2005, two exchange rates have existed in
Venezuela: the official rate, which has been frozen since 2005 at 2.15 bolivars
per U.S. dollar; and the parallel rate, which floats at a rate much higher than
the official rate. Given the existence of the two rates in Venezuela, the
Company deemed the official rate was appropriate for the purpose of conversion
into U.S. dollars at December 31, 2009 based on no positive intent to repatriate
cash at the parallel rate and demonstrated ability to repatriate cash at the
official rate.
Near the
end of 2009, the three year cumulative inflation rate for Venezuela was above
100%, which requires the Venezuelan operation to report its results as though
the U.S. dollar is its functional currency in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
830, Foreign Currency
Matters, commencing January 1, 2010 (“inflationary accounting”). The
impact of this transition to a U.S. dollar functional currency is that any
change in the U.S. dollar value of bolivar denominated monetary assets and
liabilities must be recognized directly in earnings.
On
January 8, 2010, the official exchange rate was set by the Venezuelan government
at 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar, except for certain “strategic industries” that
are permitted to repatriate U.S. dollars at the rate of 2.6 bolivars per U.S.
dollar. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded
$20 million in foreign currency exchange expense due to this change in the
exchange rate. Based upon recent 2010 repatriations of cash, the Company
believes that all amounts submitted to the Venezuelan government for
repatriation prior to 2010 will be paid out at the “strategic” rate, with the
remaining monetary assets being converted at the official rate of
4.3.
43
Adjustment of assets to fair
value: The Company recorded $4 million in impairment charges during the
second quarter of 2010, of which $3 million related to the identification of a
Powertrain Energy facility where the Company’s assessment of future undiscounted
cash flows, when compared to the current carrying value of the plant and
equipment, indicated the assets were not fully recoverable. The Company
determined the fair value of the assets by applying a probability weighted,
expected present value technique to the estimated future cash flows using
assumptions a market participant would utilize. The discount rate used is
consistent with other long-lived asset fair value measurements. The carrying
value of these assets exceeded the resulting fair value by $3 million and an
impairment charge was recorded for that amount. The remaining $1 million in
impairment charges recorded during the second quarter of 2010 was made up of
immaterial fixed assets impairments at several Company facilities.
The
Company recorded $4 million in impairment charges during the first quarter of
2010 related to the identification of equipment at a Vehicle Safety and
Protection facility where the Company’s assessment of future undiscounted cash
flows, when compared to the current carrying value of the equipment, indicated
the assets were not recoverable. The Company determined the fair value of the
assets by applying a probability weighted, expected present value technique to
the estimated future cash flows using assumptions a market participant would
utilize. The discount rate used is consistent with other long-lived asset fair
value measurements. The carrying value of the assets exceeded the resulting fair
value by $4 million and an impairment charge was recorded for that
amount.
Environmental claims
settlements: The Company was a party to two lawsuits in Ohio and Michigan
relating to indemnification for costs arising from environmental releases from
industrial operations of the Company prior to 1986. During the first nine months
of 2009, the Company reached settlements with certain parties, which resulted in
net recoveries to the Company of $12 million.
Gain on sale of debt
investment: During the second quarter of 2009, an affiliate purchased and
sold debt investments on the Company’s behalf for $22 million and $30 million,
respectively. This resulted in a single cash transaction with the affiliate for
an $8 million net gain, which the Company recognized in other
income.
Gain on involuntary
conversion: During 2008, a fire occurred at a plant in Europe. The
Company received insurance proceeds of $7 million during the second quarter of
2009, which were recognized as gains.
Income
Taxes
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded income tax expense of
$18 million on income before income taxes of $138 million. This compares to an
income tax benefit of $11 million on a loss before income taxes of $90 million
in the same period of 2009. The income tax expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to foreign
rates which differ from the U.S. rate, non-recognition of income tax benefits on
certain operating losses, non-recognition of income tax expense on certain
operating income due to the utilization of net operating losses with valuation
allowances and the reversal of valuation allowances against net deferred tax
assets of Belgium and Brazilian subsidiaries. The income tax benefit for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 differs from the U.S. statutory rate due
primarily to foreign rates which differ from the U.S. statutory rate,
non-recognition of income tax benefits on certain operating losses and
non-deductible items in various jurisdictions. This benefit includes $20 million
due to the required intraperiod tax allocation in jurisdictions with a loss from
continuing operations, other comprehensive income and a valuation allowance.
This benefit was partially offset by tax expense in profitable
jurisdictions.
The
Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax
benefits in multiple jurisdictions, which primarily relates to transfer pricing,
corporate reorganization and various other matters, may decrease by
approximately $300 million in the next 12 months due to audit settlements or
statute expirations, of which approximately $30 million, if recognized, could
impact the effective tax rate.
On March
23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law and
on March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, was also signed into law. These bills will reduce
the tax deduction available to the Company to the extent of receipt of the
Medicare Part D subsidy. Although this legislation does not take effect until
2012, the Company is required to recognize the impact in the financial
statements in the period in which it is signed. Due to the full valuation
allowance recorded against deferred tax assets in the United States, this
legislation will not impact the Company’s 2010 effective tax
rate.

Litigation
and Environmental Contingencies
For a
summary of material litigation and environmental contingencies, refer to
Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements, “Commitments and
Contingencies.”
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
Cash flow
provided from operating activities was $255 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $48
million for the comparable period of 2009. The difference in year-over-year
performance is largely attributable to increased earnings and movements in
working capital, particularly the relative timing of payments to suppliers.
Furthermore, although sales volumes have risen significantly, improvements in
cash collections have resulted in a far lower increase in accounts receivable
than would otherwise have occurred.
On June
25, 2010, the U.S. Government passed a pension funding relief bill in which the
Company elected to participate. This election will reduce the Company’s 2010
pension contribution by $25 million, $15 million of which was realized in the
third quarter of 2010, with the remaining $10 million to be realized in the
fourth quarter of 2010.
Cash flow
used by investing activities was $203 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to cash used by investing activities of $137 million
for the comparable period of 2009. Capital expenditures were $166 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $146 million for the
comparable period of 2009, reflecting a stable capital investment pattern as
existing capacity is being utilized to support growth.
In June
2010, the Company acquired 100% ownership of the Daros Group, a privately-owned
supplier of high technology piston rings for large-bore engines used in
industrial energy generation and commercial shipping, with manufacturing
operations in China, Germany and Sweden, for $39 million in cash.
During
the second quarter of 2009, an affiliate purchased and sold debt investments on
the Company’s behalf for $22 million and $30 million, respectively. This
resulted in a single cash transaction with the affiliate for an $8 million net
gain, which the Company recognized in other income.
Cash flow
used by financing activities was $33 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2010 compared to cash used by financing activities of $34 million for the
comparable period of 2009.
The
January 8, 2010 bolivar devaluation by the Venezuelan government resulted in the
Company’s recognition of $20 million in foreign currency exchange expense, $16
million of which reflects the impact on the cash balance.
Financing
Activities
On
December 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Term Loan and Revolving Credit
Agreement (the “Debt Facilities”) with Citicorp U.S.A. Inc. as Administrative
Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Syndication Agent and certain lenders. The
Debt Facilities include a $540 million revolving credit facility (which is
subject to a borrowing base and can be increased under certain circumstances and
subject to certain conditions) and a $2,960 million term loan credit
facility divided into a $1,960 million tranche B loan and a $1,000 million
tranche C loan. The obligations under the revolving credit facility mature
December 27, 2013 and bear interest in accordance with a pricing grid based on
availability under the revolving credit facility. Interest rates on the pricing
grid range from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 2.00% and ABR plus 0.50% to ABR
plus 1.00%. The tranche B term loans mature December 27, 2014 and the tranche C
term loans mature December 27, 2015. The tranche C term loans are subject to a
pre-payment premium, should the Company choose to prepay the loans prior to
December 27, 2011. All Debt Facilities term loans bear interest at LIBOR plus
1.9375% or at the ABR plus 0.9375% at the Company’s election. To the extent that
interest rates change by 25 basis points, the Company’s annual interest expense
would show a corresponding change of approximately $4 million.
45
Other
Liquidity and Capital Resource Items
The
Company maintains investments in 13 non-consolidated affiliates, which are
located in China, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom and
the United States. The Company’s direct ownership in such affiliates ranges from
approximately 1% to 50%. The aggregate investments in these affiliates were $223
million and $238 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively. Dividends received from non-consolidated affiliates by the Company
during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $27 million and $6
million, respectively.
The
Company’s joint ventures are businesses established and maintained in connection
with its operating strategy and are not special purpose entities. In general,
the Company does not extend guarantees, loans or other instruments of a variable
nature that may result in incremental risk to the Company’s liquidity position.
Furthermore, the Company does not rely on dividend payments or other cash flows
from its non-consolidated affiliates to fund its operations and, accordingly,
does not believe that they have a material effect on the Company’s
liquidity.
The
Company holds a 50% non-controlling interest in a joint venture located in
Turkey. This joint venture was established in 1995 for the purpose of
manufacturing and marketing automotive parts, including pistons, piston rings,
piston pins, and cylinder liners to OE and aftermarket customers. Pursuant to
the joint venture agreement, the Company’s partner holds an option to put its
shares to a subsidiary of the Company at the higher of the current fair value or
at a guaranteed minimum amount. The term of the contingent guarantee is
indefinite, consistent with the terms of the joint venture agreement. However,
the contingent guarantee would not survive termination of the joint venture
agreement. The guaranteed minimum amount represents a contingent guarantee of
the initial investment of the joint venture partner and can be exercised at the
discretion of the partner. As of September 30, 2010, the total amount of the
contingent guarantee, were all triggering events to occur, approximated $60
million. The Company believes that this contingent guarantee is substantially
less than the estimated current fair value of the guarantees’ interest in the
affiliate. As such, the contingent guarantee does not give rise to a contingent
liability and, as a result, no amount is recorded for this guarantee. If this
put option were exercised, the consideration paid and net assets acquired would
be accounted for in accordance with business combination accounting guidance.
Any value in excess of the guaranteed minimum amount of the put option would be
the subject of negotiation between the Company and its joint venture
partner.
The
Company has determined that its investments in Chinese joint venture
arrangements are considered to be “limited-lived” as such entities have
specified durations ranging from 30 to 50 years pursuant to regional statutory
regulations. In general, these arrangements call for extension, renewal or
liquidation at the discretion of the parties to the arrangement at the end of
the contractual agreement. Accordingly, a reasonable assessment cannot be made
as to the impact of such contingencies on the future liquidity position of the
Company.
Federal-Mogul
subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain are party to
accounts receivable factoring arrangements. Gross accounts receivable factored
under these facilities were $219 million and $217 million as of September 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Of those gross amounts, $188 million
and $190 million, respectively, qualify as sales. The remaining factored
receivables of $31 million and $27 million, respectively, were pledged as
collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets within “Accounts receivable, net” and “Short-term
debt, including current portion of long-term debt.” Under terms of these
factoring arrangements, the Company is not obligated to draw cash immediately
upon the factoring of accounts receivable. Thus, as of September 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding factored amounts of less than $1
million and $4 million, respectively, for which cash had not yet been drawn.
Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were $894
million and $845 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, expenses associated with
receivables factored of $3 million and $1 million, respectively, were recorded
in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other income (expense),
net.” For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, expenses associated
with receivables factored of $5 million and $3 million, respectively, were
recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other income
(expense), net.” Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these
factored receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such,
a servicing asset or liability is not incurred as a result of these factoring
arrangements.

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, 2009. Refer to Note 4, “Financial
Instruments,” to the consolidated financial statements for information with
respect to interest rate risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency
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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company derived 40%
of its sales in the United States and 60% internationally. Of these
international sales, 59% are denominated in the euro, with no other single
currency representing more than 7%. To minimize foreign currency risk, the
Company generally maintains natural hedges within its non-U.S. activities,
including the matching of operational revenues and costs. Where natural hedges
are not in place, the Company manages certain aspects of its foreign currency
activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options
or forward contracts. The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse
movement of all foreign currencies in the same direction against the U.S. dollar
over the nine months ended September 30, 2010 would have decreased “Net income
attributable to Federal-Mogul” by approximately $21 million.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A control
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic Securities
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of
September 30, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with
the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of September 30, 2010, at the reasonable assurance level previously
described.
Changes
to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of
September
30, 2010, the Company's management, with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated for disclosure,
changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the fiscal three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. There were no material
changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the
nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The
Company is subject to a wide range of environmental statutory and regulatory
obligations under federal, state and other governmental laws, including but not
limited to those addressing air and water pollution, solid and hazardous waste
and chemical management. Included in these obligations are the community right
to know reporting requirements under the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986, known as the Emergency Response and Community
Right-to-Know Act (“EPCRA”), which, among other obligations, requires yearly
filings as to the substances used on the plant premises. The Company, in
the third quarter of 2010, settled a matter for $119,000 related to failure to
timely file information required under Section 313 of EPCRA for 2009 for one of
its facilities.
Note 13,
