NEWS RELEASE

Visteon Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., July 25, 2024 — Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC) today reported second quarter financial results. Highlights include:

•Sales of $1,014 million with Growth-over-Market of 9%1
•Net income of $71 million
•Record Adjusted EBITDA of $136 million
•Launched 41 new products across 17 OEMs in the first half
•Won $3.1 billion in new business in the first half
•Net cash of $181 million at quarter end

Visteon reported net sales of $1,014 million compared to $983 million in the second quarter of the prior year. The increase in net sales was primarily due to strong performance of digital cockpit and electrification products, partially offset by lower customer production, and lower customer recoveries resulting from improved semiconductor supply. Visteon’s sales outperformed customer vehicle production volumes by 9%.

Gross margin in the second quarter was $147 million, and net income attributable to Visteon was $71 million or $2.54 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was a record $136 million in the second quarter, an increase of $46 million compared to the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA reflects the favorable impact of higher volumes and strong operational performance, lower engineering and SG&A costs, and the non-recurrence of a $15 million recall charge in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.4% of sales, an increase of 420 basis points compared to the prior year.

For the first six months, cash from operations was $126 million, capital expenditures were $68 million and adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was $62 million. The company ended the second quarter with cash of $508 million and debt of $327 million. Our strong balance sheet, with a net cash position of $181 million, will allow us to balance organic investments, selective M&A, and capital returns to shareholders.

Visteon's products launched on 41 vehicle models, diversified across 17 different OEMs, in the first half of the year. A key second quarter launch included a digital cluster for the Toyota Camry in the North American and Japanese markets. We also launched a center information display for the Mazda MX-30 crossover and a digital cluster for the Porsche Macan SUV. Our momentum in Rest of Asia continues, with launches across various Asian customers in key markets in the region.

The company won $3.1 billion of new business in the first half of the year, including nearly $1.8 billion of display wins. Visteon continues to successfully diversify its customer base, with over $1.8 billion of wins with Rest of Asia OEMs in the first half. Second quarter wins included several significant display wins, including a large, curved OLED display for a luxury vehicle platform for a Japanese OEM and a dual display for a SUV for another Japanese OEM. Visteon also won an audio infotainment and dual display system for a SUV with an Indian OEM.

“Visteon delivered robust sales in the second quarter, driven by strong demand for our powertrain agnostic digital cockpit products and ramp up of electrification products. Margins improved due to our continued
1 Excludes Y/Y impact of currency fluctuations


focus on operational and commercial discipline,” said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “We continue to navigate near-term industry challenges, while positioning the company for mid-term growth through strong new business wins and continued launch execution."

In light of the reduction of customer vehicle production in the second half and ongoing market dynamics in China, Visteon is updating its full-year 2024 guidance and anticipates sales in the range of $3.85 – $3.95 billion, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $455 – $475 million, and maintaining adjusted free cash flow in the range of $155 – $185 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, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net interest expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, net restructuring expense, equity in net (income)/loss 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.

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, 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.
