Third Quarter 2018 Results

The Company reported third quarter 2018 revenue of $3.5 billion, an increase of 11% from the prior year period. Adjusted for currency exchange, commodity movements, acquisitions and divestitures, revenue increased by 11% in the third quarter. This reflects growth of 20% in North America, 9% in Asia and 4% in Europe, partially offset by a decline of 3% in South America.

The Company reported third quarter 2018 U.S. GAAP net income from continuing operations of $222 million and earnings from continuing operations of $0.84 per diluted share, compared to $297 million and $1.11 per diluted share in the prior year period. Third quarter Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, totaled $329 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, an increase of 8% on a per share basis compared to $307 million, or $1.15 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Third quarter Adjusted Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $420 million, compared to $394 million in the prior year period, resulting from the continued above-market growth of our businesses across all major regions. Third quarter Adjusted Operating Income margin was 12.1%, compared to 12.5% in the prior year period, reflecting our continued incremental investments for growth, partially offset by sales growth and the beneficial impacts of cost reduction initiatives. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $163 million, an increase from $136 million in the prior year period.

Interest expense for the third quarter totaled $34 million, as compared to $35 million in the prior year period.

Tax expense in the third quarter of 2018 was $66 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 23%, which includes $24 million, or approximately 8 points, due to the one-time impacts of the Company's organizational entity restructuring in the quarter resulting from the spin-off transaction. Tax expense in the third quarter of 2017 was $31 million, resulting in an effective rate of approximately 9%.

Year-to-Date 2018 Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported revenue of $10.8 billion, an increase of 14% from the prior year period. Adjusted for currency exchange, commodity movements, acquisitions and divestitures, revenue increased by 10% during the period. This reflects growth of 14% in North America, 10% in Asia, 7% in Europe and 8% in South America.

For the 2018 year-to-date period, the Company reported U.S. GAAP net income from continuing operations of $820 million and earnings from continuing operations of $3.09 per diluted share, compared to $814 million and $3.04 per diluted share in the prior year period. Year-to-date Adjusted Net Income totaled $1,044 million, or $3.93 per diluted share, an increase of 17% on a per share basis compared to $900 million, or $3.36 per diluted share in the prior year period.

The Company reported Adjusted Operating Income of $1,321 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1,144 million in the prior year period, resulting from the continued above-market growth of our businesses across all major regions. Adjusted Operating Income margin was 12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 12.1% in the prior year period, reflecting sales growth, the beneficial impacts of cost reduction initiatives and the absence of certain warranty charges recorded in the prior year period, partially offset by continued incremental investments for growth. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $474 million, an increase from $392 million in the prior year period.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $104 million, as compared to $103 million in the prior year period.

Tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $208 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 20%, which includes $24 million, or approximately 2 points, due to the adjustment to the provisional amounts recorded for the one-time impacts of the U.S. tax reform enactment and $24 million, or approximately 2 points, due to the one-time impacts of the Company's organizational entity restructuring in the third quarter resulting from the spin-off transaction. Tax expense in the prior year period was $88 million, or an effective rate of approximately 10%.

The Company generated net cash flow from continuing operating activities of $890 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $685 million in the prior year period, reflecting the $310 million payment made to settle the Unsecured Creditors litigation in the third quarter of 2017. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 billion and total available liquidity of $3.1 billion.

Share Repurchase Program

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company repurchased 0.79 million shares for approximately $69 million under its existing authorized share repurchase program, leaving approximately $767 million available for future share repurchases. Year-to-date, the Company repurchased 2.51 million shares for approximately $222 million. All repurchased shares were retired, and are reflected as a reduction of ordinary share capital for the par value of the shares, with the excess applied as reductions to additional paid-in-capital and retained earnings.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains information about Aptiv's financial results which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Cash Flow Before Financing are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Operating Income represents net income before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense, equity income (loss), net of tax, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs, asset impairments, gains (losses) on business divestitures and deferred compensation related to acquisitions. Other acquisition and portfolio project costs include costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures. Adjusted Operating Income margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted Net Income represents net income attributable to Aptiv before discontinued operations, restructuring and other special items, including the tax impact thereon. Adjusted Net Income Per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Cash Flow Before Financing represents cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations, adjusted for the purchase price of business acquisitions and net proceeds from the divestiture of discontinued operations and other significant businesses.

Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In particular, management believes Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Cash Flow Before Financing are useful measures in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the attached supplemental schedules at the end of this press release. 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.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited)

In this press release the Company has provided information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "Adjusted Operating Income," "Adjusted Net Income," "Adjusted Net Income Per Share" and "Cash Flow Before Financing." Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measure in the following schedules.

Adjusted Operating Income: Adjusted Operating Income is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance which management believes is useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Our management utilizes Adjusted Operating Income in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Management also utilizes Adjusted Operating Income as the key performance measure of segment income or loss and for planning and forecasting purposes to allocate resources to our segments, as management also believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our operating segments. Adjusted Operating Income is defined as net income before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense, equity income (loss), net of tax, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, restructuring and other special items. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted Operating Income, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Operating income margin represents operating income as a percentage of net sales, and Adjusted Operating Income margin represents Adjusted Operating Income as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share: Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, which are non-GAAP measures, are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's financial performance which management believes are useful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Management utilizes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income attributable to Aptiv before discontinued operations, restructuring and other special items, including the tax impact thereon. Adjusted Net Income Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Represents the income tax impacts of the adjustments made for restructuring and other special items by calculating the income tax impact of these items using the appropriate tax rate for the jurisdiction where the charges were incurred, and the impact of the intra-entity transfer of intellectual property of $24 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Cash Flow Before Financing: Cash Flow Before Financing is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's liquidity which is consistent with the basis and manner in which management presents financial information for the purpose of making internal operating decisions, evaluating its liquidity and determining appropriate capital allocation strategies. Management believes this measure is useful to investors to understand how the Company's core operating activities generate and use cash. Cash Flow Before Financing is defined as cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations, adjusted for the purchase price of business acquisitions and net proceeds from the divestiture of discontinued operations and other significant businesses. Not all companies use identical calculations of Cash Flow Before Financing, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The calculation of Cash Flow Before Financing does not reflect cash used to service debt, pay dividends or repurchase shares and, therefore, does not necessarily reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses.
