"We achieved solid performance in sales and adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter - our first full quarter as a company focused on vehicle cockpit electronics - and as a result we have increased our full-year guidance," said Sachin Lawande, president and CEO. "We delivered strong cost performance in the quarter, including ongoing synergies from the integration of the former Johnson Controls electronics business."

Lawande added: "Visteon is focused on creating value for customers and shareholders by improving the cockpit electronics user experience across product lines that are expected to grow faster than the overall automotive market. We're well-positioned with new technology in each of these product lines, which include instrument clusters, head-up displays, information displays, infotainment, connected audio and telematics."

Cash from operating activities in the third quarter, including discontinued operations, totaled $70 million. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was $77 million for the third quarter.

Third Quarter in Review

Visteon reported third-quarter sales of $808 million, an increase of $15 million compared with the same quarter last year. An additional $16 million of third-quarter 2015 sales were classified as discontinued operations.

Electronics sales totaled $771 million, an increase of $11 million from the third quarter of 2014. The increase is primarily related to higher production volumes and new business, partially offset by unfavorable currency. For the Electronics Product Group, on a regional basis, Asia accounted for 37 percent of sales, Europe 31 percent, North America 30 percent, and South America 2 percent.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2015 was $105 million, compared with $93 million a year earlier. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $59 million, or 7.3 percent of sales, for the third quarter, compared with $70 million, or 8.8 percent of sales, a year earlier. The $12 million increase in gross margin reflected higher sales volume and new business impacts, along with cost efficiencies, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable currency and the non-recurrence of a 2014 $25 million pension settlement gain. Selling, general and administrative expenses improved as a percentage of sales in connection with a targeted cost-reduction effort to streamline activities and realize synergies from integrating the former Johnson Controls electronics business.

Adjusted EBITDA of $65 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared with $30 million for the same quarter last year, primarily reflected favorable volume and new business, and positive cost performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Electronics Product Group, including Corporate costs, was $67 million, compared with $37 million for the third quarter last year.

For the third quarter of 2015, the company reported net income attributable to Visteon of $5 million, or earnings per share of $0.12 per diluted share. Third-quarter net income included a loss of $11 million from discontinued operations, net of tax and $7 million of restructuring, transformation, integration and related costs. Adjusted net income, which excludes these costs, was $23 million, or $0.56 per diluted share.

Through the first three quarters of 2015, customers awarded Visteon average annual new business wins of $950 million, amounting to $2.9 billion of lifetime revenue. Visteon is targeting full-year new business wins of $1.3 billion, comparable to last year's record level.

Sale of Berlin Interiors Operation

On Oct. 30, Visteon signed an agreement to sell its non-core automotive interiors plant in Berlin, Germany, to APCH Automotive Plastic Components Holding GmbH (APCH), effective Dec. 1, 2015. This marks the sale of Visteon's only remaining interiors operation not covered by the 2014 agreement to divest the majority of the interiors business to Reydel Automotive Holdings B.V., as Visteon focuses on its automotive cockpit electronics business.

Share Repurchase Program

On June 16, Visteon entered into an Accelerated Stock Buyback (ASB) with a third party to purchase shares of its common stock for an initial payment of $500 million. This ASB is expected to be completed by Dec. 31, 2015. It is part of a previously announced plan to return $2.5 billion-$2.75 billion of cash to shareholders by June 2016.

Cash and Debt Balances

As of Sept. 30, 2015, Visteon had global cash and marketable securities balances totaling $2,920 million. Total debt as of Sept. 30, 2015 was $382 million.

For the third quarter of 2015, Visteon generated $70 million of cash from operations, compared with $53 million in the same period a year earlier. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $29 million. Adjusted free cash flow was $77 million in the quarter, compared with $18 million in the third quarter of 2014. Cash flows for both periods included results related to discontinued operations.

Visteon generated $84 million of cash from operations related to the Electronics Product Group and Corporate costs. Electronics capital expenditures totaled $26 million, and adjusted free cash flow for Electronics and Corporate totaled $83 million in the quarter.

Full-Year 2015 Outlook

Visteon adjusted its full-year 2015 guidance for its key financial metrics to reflect improved performance. The company projects 2015 sales for the Electronics Product Group of $3.05 billion to $3.10 billion. Adjusted EBITDA for the Electronics Product Group and Corporate costs is projected in the range of $265 million to $285 million. Adjusted free cash flow, as defined below, for the Electronics Product Group and Corporate costs is projected in the range of $135 million to $165 million.

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, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of discontinued operations, equity in net income (loss) of non-consolidated affiliates, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, gains or losses on divestitures, net restructuring expenses and other reimbursable costs, loss on debt extinguishment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain employee charges and benefits, reorganization items and other non-operating gains and losses. 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. The Company defines Adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, as further adjusted for restructuring and transformation-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.

* Guidance excludes the other product group and discontinued operations.

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. The Company defines Adjusted net income as net income attributable to Visteon plus net restructuring expenses, reorganization items and other non-operating gains and losses, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of discontinued operations. 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.
