LIVONIA, MICHIGAN, February 17, 2011 — TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (NYSE: TRW), the global leader in active and passive safety systems, today reported fourth quarter 2010 financial results with sales of $3.7 billion, an increase of 10 percent compared to the prior year period. The Company reported GAAP fourth quarter net earnings of $204 million or $1.56 per diluted share, which compares to net earnings of $141 million or $1.18 per diluted share in the prior year period.
The Company’s current and prior year quarterly results contain special items which primarily consist of restructuring charges, a net gain related to certain pension matters, debt retirement charges and favorable net tax items. Excluding these special items, the Company reported fourth quarter 2010 net earnings of $225 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, which compares to $168 million or $1.40 per diluted share in the 2009 period.

For the full year, the Company reported sales of $14.4 billion, an increase of $2.8 billion or 24 percent compared to 2009. Strong revenue growth combined with the Company’s low cost structure resulted in record 2010 GAAP net earnings of $834 million, or $6.49 per diluted share, which compares to net earnings of $55 million, or $0.51 per diluted share in the prior year.
Similar to the Company’s quarterly results, the 2010 and 2009 full year results contain special items such as restructuring charges, asset impairments, a net gain related to certain pension matters, debt retirement charges and favorable net tax items. Excluding these special items, the Company reported full year 2010 net earnings of $844 million, or $6.57 per diluted share, which compares to net earnings of $137 million or $1.26 per diluted share in 2009.
The Company generated record free cash flow in 2010 of $758 million, compared to $254 million in 2009. The 2010 result is after the Company made discretionary contributions of $170 million in the fourth quarter to certain of its pension plans. The strong cash flow generation allowed the Company to reduce its year-end 2010 net debt (defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents) to a record low of $768 million, a reduction of $815 million compared to December 31, 2009.
In addition to the record financial results achieved in 2010, the Company made significant progress towards reducing its legacy liabilities. During the fourth quarter of 2010, TRW closed its U.S. salaried pension plan to further accruals. This action, along with the prior cessation of accruals in the Company’s U.K. pension plan, and the discretionary contributions of $170 million to certain of the Company’s pension plans, resulted in a $427 million reduction of legacy liabilities at year-end 2010 compared with year-end 2009. This significant reduction, combined with the large reduction in net debt, has further strengthened TRW’s balance sheet and provides flexibility to support the Company’s future growth plans.
“TRW’s solid fourth quarter performance built on the positive momentum established earlier in the year and enabled the Company to post its best full year results since becoming an independent Company,” said John C. Plant, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “TRW ended the year with a significantly improved capital structure including a record low net debt level and strong performance on reducing the

2


 

Company’s legacy liabilities. The outstanding business performance achieved in 2010 demonstrates TRW is executing the right strategy for long-term success.”
Fourth Quarter 2010
The Company reported fourth quarter 2010 sales of $3.7 billion, an increase of $329 million or 10 percent from the prior year period. The positive impact on sales resulting from improved global vehicle production volumes compared to the prior year quarter was partially offset by the negative impact of currency movements.
The Company’s fourth quarter 2010 operating income and resulting margin was $293 million and 7.9 percent, respectively, compared with operating income of $229 million in the 2009 period. The 2010 and 2009 periods included restructuring and fixed asset impairment charges totaling $35 million and $26 million, respectively. In addition, the 2010 period included a net gain of $18 million relating to certain pension matters, primarily the curtailment of the Company’s salaried pension plan in the U.S. Excluding these special items from both periods, the year-to-year improvement of $55 million and resulting margin of 8.3% was driven primarily by the contribution from higher sales between the two quarters, partially offset by unfavorable currency movements and an increase in raw material prices between the two periods.
Net interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $37 million, which compares favorably to $51 million in the 2009 period as a result of lower debt levels. In addition, both the 2010 and 2009 periods recognized a net loss on retirement of debt totaling $13 million and $8 million, respectively.
Tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $36 million, which compares to a tax expense of $30 million in the prior year period. The 2010 and 2009 periods included tax benefits related to restructuring actions totaling $9 million and $7 million, respectively. Excluding these benefits from both periods, tax expense was $45 million in the current quarter compared with $37 million last year.
The Company reported 2010 fourth quarter GAAP earnings of $204 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, which compares to GAAP net earnings of $141 million, or $1.18 per diluted share in the 2009 period.

Excluding special items, the Company reported fourth quarter 2010 net earnings of $225 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, which compares to net earnings of $168 million or $1.40 per diluted share in the 2009 period.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and special items (“adjusted EBITDA”) were $426 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, as compared to the prior year level of $384 million. See page A6 for a description of the special items excluded in calculating adjusted EBITDA.
Full Year 2010
The Company reported 2010 sales of $14.4 billion, an increase of $2.8 billion or 24 percent compared to prior year sales. The increase in sales resulted from the significantly improved global vehicle production volumes between the two periods.
For full year 2010, the Company reported operating income of $1,184 million which compares to $289 million of operating income in the prior year. The 2010 period included restructuring and fixed asset impairment charges of $45 million, as well as a net gain related primarily to the curtailment of its U.S. pension plan totaling $18 million. The 2009 period included restructuring and fixed asset impairment charges totaling $100 million, as well as a trademark impairment charge of $30 million. Excluding these special items from both periods, the Company reported operating income of $1,211 million in the 2010 period, which compares to $419 million in the prior year. The year-to-year improvement of $792 million was driven primarily by the contribution from the higher level of sales between the two periods and the positive net impact of the Company’s restructuring and cost containment actions.
Net interest expense for 2010 totaled $162 million, which compares to $190 million in the prior year period. In addition, the 2010 period included a net loss on retirement of debt totaling $15 million, compared with 2009, which recognized a net gain on the retirement of debt of $26 million.
Tax expense in 2010 was $166 million, which compares to $67 million in the prior year. The increase in expense was driven by higher pre-tax earnings in certain geographic locations for the current period. The 2010 and 2009 periods included tax benefits of

4


 

$32 million and $22 million, respectively, related to the favorable resolution of various tax matters in foreign jurisdictions and restructuring actions.
The Company reported 2010 GAAP net earnings of $834 million, or $6.49 per diluted share, which compares to GAAP net earnings of $55 million, or $0.51 per diluted share in 2009.
Excluding special items, the Company reported full year 2010 net earnings of $844 million, or $6.57 per diluted share, which compares to net earnings of $137 million or $1.26 per diluted share in 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $1,673 million, compared to $911 million in the prior year. See page A6 for a description of the special items excluded in calculating adjusted EBITDA.
Cash Flow and Capital Structure
Fourth quarter 2010 net cash flow provided by operating activities was $362 million (after making $170 million in discretionary contributions to certain pension plans), which compares to $512 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Capital expenditures were $126 million in the current quarter compared to $80 million last year. Fourth quarter free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) was $236 million, which is lower than the level achieved in the prior year fourth quarter of $432 million resulting primarily from the discretionary pension contributions.
For full year 2010, net cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $1,052 million, despite the discretionary pension contributions, which compares to $455 million in the prior year period. The year-to-year improvement resulted primarily from the higher operating income generated by the Company in 2010 compared to the previous year. Capital expenditures were $294 million in 2010, which compares to $201 million last year. For 2010, free cash flow was $758 million compared to $254 million in 2009.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $1,846 million of debt and $1,078 million of cash and cash equivalents, resulting in net debt of $768 million. This net debt outcome reached a new historic low for the Company, $815 million lower than the balance at the end of 2009 making 2010 the fifth consecutive year the Company has reduced its net debt. Committed liquidity facilities and cash on hand provided the Company with available liquidity in excess of $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2010.

2011 Outlook
TRW’s planning assumptions for industry production volumes are approximately 12.7 million units in North America and 18.7 million units in Europe, up 7% and flat, respectively, compared to 2010 levels. The Company continues to expect China and the rest of world regions to remain growth engines in 2011. Based on these production levels and the Company’s expectations for foreign currency exchange rates, full year 2011 sales are expected to range between $14.9 billion and $15.3 billion, with first quarter sales expected to be approximately $3.9 billion.
“Increasing global demand for TRW’s innovative technologies combined with our low cost structure, solid liquidity and flexible balance sheet will further strengthen our position as a leading supplier to the world’s car manufacturers,” said Mr. Plant. “TRW is committed to advancing its strategic priorities of quality, cost, innovative technologies, and leveraging our global reach to ensure the Company’s success is sustained in 2011 and beyond.”

Reconciliation to GAAP
In addition to GAAP results included within this press release, the Company has provided certain information which is not calculated according to GAAP (“non-GAAP”), such as net earnings (losses), operating income (losses) and diluted earnings per share each excluding special items, tax expense excluding certain net tax benefits, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and its business segments and to forecast future periods. Management believes that investors will likewise find these non-GAAP measures useful in evaluating such

6


 

performance. Such measures are frequently used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the closest GAAP financial measure and for share amounts used to derive earnings per share, please see the financial schedules that accompany this release.

TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to the most comparable GAAP amounts. Further, since all companies do not use identical calculations, our definition and presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA as calculated below is a measure used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and its business segments and to forecast future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding restructuring charges, asset impairments and other significant special items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of ongoing operations separate from items that may have a disproportionate impact in any particular period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not purport to be alternatives to net earnings (losses) as an indicator of operating performance, nor to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, neither is intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements.

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, and is used by management in analyzing the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service debt or for other non-discretionary expenditures.
