NEWS RELEASE

Visteon Announces Second-Quarter 2022 Results
VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., July 28, 2022 — Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC) today reported second quarter financial results. Highlights include:

Sales of $848 million, up 42%1 from prior year
13th consecutive quarter of growth-over-market 2
Net income of $24 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $79 million or 9.3% of sales
27 new products launched in first half
$3.1 billion in new business wins in first half
Refinanced credit agreement and extended debt maturity to 2027

Second Quarter Financial Results
Visteon reported net sales of $848 million representing a year-over-year increase of 42%, excluding the impact of currency, driven by new product launches and positive pricing due to incremental costs recoveries related to semiconductor shortages. Total industry production was flat while vehicle production at Visteon’s top customers increased 6% in the same period. The company's sales performance represents 36%2 growth-over-market, the 13th consecutive quarter of market out-performance.

Gross margin in the second quarter was $74 million, and net income attributable to Visteon was $24 million or $0.85 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined below, was $79 million for the second quarter or 9.3% of sales, an increase of $49 million compared to the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA reflects the favorable impact of higher sales volumes and increased customer cost recoveries net of higher semiconductor costs.

For the first six months, cash used by operations was $72 million and capital expenditures were $36 million. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, for the first six months of 2022 was a use of cash of $99 million primarily driven by an outflow in working capital related to the timing of customer recoveries and higher inventory levels due to uneven supply of semiconductors. The company ended the second quarter with cash of $325 million and debt of $349 million.

New Business Wins and Product Launch Highlights
Visteon launched 11 new products in the second quarter bringing the first half total to 27 new launches. Key second quarter launches include a 12-inch all-digital cluster for the Ford Everest and Ranger and a curved multi-display module on the Maserati Grecale, the all-new flagship crossover SUV for Maserati. The company also launched a SmartCore™ cockpit domain controller with Geely on their new all-electric SUV under the Smart Brand as well as a 10.25-inch infotainment system and display on PSA’s Citroen C3 supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the South American market.

The company won $3.1 billion of new business through the first half of the year, with more than 50% of programs on electric vehicle variants. Second quarter wins included our latest generation SmartCore™ cockpit domain controller on an all-electric SUV platform for a European OEM, our first cockpit domain controller with this automaker. Visteon also won a 12-inch display for a luxury German OEM, also our first center information display win with this OEM.

Outlook
“I am proud of Visteon's double-digit growth-over-market performance in an environment of constrained supply exacerbated by the lockdown in Shanghai due to COVID-19," said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “The Visteon team performed exceptionally well to secure supply and support our customers' production in this challenging environment. Our digital products continue to do well and we are happy to report another strong quarter of new business wins with over $2 billion in lifetime revenue."

Visteon is maintaining full-year 2022 guidance and anticipates sales in the range of $3.150 – $3.350 billion, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $295 – $335 million, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the range of $85 – $115 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 adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuring and impairment 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. 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.

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, 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.
