Second Quarter Financial Results

Visteon reported net sales of $983 million representing a year-over-year increase of 18%, excluding the impact of currency. Sales growth compared to the prior year was driven by higher customer vehicle production and the ongoing ramp of our recent product launches, partially offset by lower semiconductor open market purchases and the associated recoveries as supply constraints continued to ease. Total industry production was up 16% from the prior year, while vehicle production at Visteon’s top customers increased 12% over the same period. The company's sales performance represents 15%2 growth-over-market, the 17th consecutive quarter of market out-performance.

Gross margin in the second quarter was $104 million, and net income attributable to Visteon was $20 million or $0.70 per diluted share. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was $34 million or $1.18 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was $90 million in the second quarter or 9.2% of sales. The increase of $11 million in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year reflects the favorable impact of higher volumes partially offset by an exceptional charge of $15 million related to a product recall with one of our customers.

For the first six months, cash provided by operations was $42 million, capital expenditures were $51 million and adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined below, for the first six months of 2023 was a use of cash of $5 million. The company ended the second quarter with cash of $459 million and debt of $348 million.

Visteon's products launched on 35 vehicle models in the second quarter. Key second quarter launches included a new SmartCore™ cockpit domain controller program for Harley Davidson on their all-new Street Glide touring line, representing Visteon’s first SmartCore™ two-wheeler program. The company also launched a 12-inch center display in China on the electric version of JMC's flagship pick-up truck.

The company won a record $4 billion of new business in the first half of the year. Second quarter wins included our first EV power electronics win with a European OEM luxury brand, which integrated our recently developed smart battery junction box with our battery management system. We also won an 8-inch digital cluster win for a two-wheeler OEM in Europe, demonstrating our ongoing momentum in the two-wheeler market. Additional wins in the quarter include a 20-inch V-shaped multi-display module with a European OEM, a 12.3-inch digital cluster display for the luxury brand of a Japanese customer, and an extension of a high-volume 12.3-inch digital cluster program in North America.

“I am very pleased with Visteon’s performance in the quarter. The team delivered on a high number of product launches and maintained strong operational and commercial discipline," said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “Our digital cockpit and electrification products remain in high demand, with over $4 billion of new business wins in the first half. These wins strengthen the foundation for our future growth. Lastly, we executed on our commitment to return capital to shareholders, while maintaining our strong balance sheet."

Visteon is maintaining its full-year 2023 guidance and anticipates sales in the range of $3.95 – $4.15 billion, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $405 – $445 million, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the range of $115 – $165 million.

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIESRECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES(In millions except per share amounts) (Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuring and impairment expense, provision for income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, net interest expense, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in incentive compensation decisions, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies, and (iii) because the Company's credit agreements use similar measures for compliance with certain covenants.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's liquidity that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company's ability to service and repay its debt. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, including intangibles. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, including intangibles as further adjusted for restructuring related payments. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be a substitute for cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools as they do not reflect cash used to service debt and do not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. In addition, the Company uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (i) as factors in incentive compensation decisions and (ii) for planning and forecasting future periods.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are presented as supplemental measures that management believes are useful to investors in analyzing the Company's profitability, providing comparability between periods by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring business operating results. The Company believes management and investors benefit from referring to these supplemental measures in assessing company performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income attributable to Visteon adjusted to eliminate the impact of restructuring and impairment expense, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be a substitute for profitability. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share have limitations as analytical tools as they do not consider certain restructuring and transaction-related payments and/or expenses. In addition, the Company uses adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
