Visteon Announces Third-Quarter 2019 Results

 

   

Sales of $731 million up 7 percent year-over-year

 

   

Net income of $14 million

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $62 million

 

   

Awarded $4.6 billion in new business year-to-date

VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Oct. 24, 2019 — Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC) today announced third-quarter 2019 results, reporting net income attributable to Visteon of $14 million or $0.50 per diluted share, compared with $21 million or $0.71 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2018.

Third-quarter 2019 sales were $731 million, compared with $681 million in the third quarter of 2018. The increase of $50 million is primarily due to new product launches and the consolidation of a previously non-consolidated affiliate, partially offset by lower vehicle production volumes, customer pricing and unfavorable currency impacts. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2019 was $84 million, compared with $82 million in the same quarter in 2018.

During the first nine months of 2019, global vehicle manufacturers awarded Visteon new business of $4.6 billion in lifetime sales, with more than 60 percent from next-generation technology including digital instrument clusters, infotainment and displays.

“Our revenue growth in the third quarter reflected the positive impact of the high number of new product launches over the last 12 months,” said Visteon President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “Despite a challenging vehicle production environment, our revenues increased by 7 percent year-over-year, representing 10 percentage points over market. This is our highest growth over market in the last four years. With 35 new product launches and $4.6 billion in new business year-to-date, we are well-positioned to drive continued profitable growth globally.”

Third Quarter in Review

Sales in the third quarter totaled $731 million, compared with $681 million in the third quarter of 2018. On a regional basis, in the third quarter of 2019, Europe accounted for 29 percent of sales, the Americas 26 percent, China Domestic 18 percent, China Export 9 percent and Other Asia-Pacific 18 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined below, was $62 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared with $71 million for the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.5 percent for the third quarter of 2019.

For the third quarter of 2019, net income attributable to Visteon was $14 million or $0.50 per diluted share, compared with $21 million or $0.71 per diluted share for the same period in 2018. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure as defined below, was $15 million or $0.53 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2019, compared with $33 million or $1.12 per diluted share for the same period in 2018.

The company had 28.1 million diluted shares of common stock outstanding as of Sept. 30, 2019.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited, Dollars in Millions)

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 expense, net interest expense, loss on divestiture, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, provision for income taxes, discontinued operations, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, 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. Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow include amounts associated with discontinued operations. 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 expense, loss on divestiture, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, discontinued operations, 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.
