Second Quarter 2018 Results

The Company reported second quarter 2018 revenue of $3.7 billion, an increase of 17% from the prior year period. Adjusted for currency exchange, commodity movements, acquisitions and divestitures, revenue increased by 12% in the second quarter. This reflects growth of 15% in North America, 11% in Asia, 9% in Europe and 10% in South America.

The Company reported second quarter 2018 U.S. GAAP net income from continuing operations of $291 million and earnings from continuing operations of $1.10 per diluted share, compared to $297 million and $1.11 per diluted share in the prior year period. Second quarter Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, totaled $372 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, an increase of 24% on a per share basis compared to $302 million, or $1.13 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Second quarter Adjusted Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $474 million, compared to $398 million in the prior year period, resulting from the continued above-market growth of our businesses across all regions. Second quarter Adjusted Operating Income margin was 12.9%, compared to 12.6% in the prior year period, reflecting sales growth and the beneficial impacts of cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by continued incremental investments for growth. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $156 million, an increase from $130 million in the prior year period.

Interest expense for the second quarter totaled $36 million, as compared to $35 million in the prior year period.

Tax expense in the second quarter of 2018 was $83 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 22%, which includes $24 million, or approximately 6 points, due to the adjustment to the provisional amounts recorded for the one-time impacts of the U.S. tax reform enactment. Tax expense in the second quarter of 2017 was $38 million, resulting in an effective rate of approximately 11%.

The Company generated net cash flow from continuing operating activities of $566 million in the second quarter, compared to $414 million in the prior year period.

The Company reported Adjusted Operating Income of $901 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $750 million in the prior year period, resulting from the continued above-market growth of our businesses across all regions. Adjusted Operating Income margin was 12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 11.9% 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 $311 million, an increase from $256 million in the prior year period.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $70 million, as compared to $68 million in the prior year period.

Tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $142 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 19%, which includes $24 million, or approximately 3 points, due to the adjustment to the provisional amounts recorded for the one-time impacts of the U.S. tax reform enactment.

Acquisitions of KUM and Winchester Interconnect

Aptiv completed the acquisition of KUM in June 2018. KUM is a leading provider of highly engineered connectors and cable management solutions for the automotive industry. The acquisition of KUM enhances Aptiv's global market position and expands Aptiv's range of specialized connectors and cable management solutions, specifically in the Asia Pacific region.

Aptiv also agreed to acquire Winchester Interconnect ("Winchester"), a leading provider of custom engineered interconnect solutions for harsh environment applications for approximately $650 million, or approximately 10.6 times 2018 estimated EBITDA. Winchester's portfolio of precision-engineered interconnect solutions further establishes Aptiv as a market leader of connectivity solutions and is a strategic fit to its Signal and Power Solutions segment. By adding over $250 million in non-automotive revenues, this transaction establishes a broader platform to further expand into adjacent markets, leveraging Aptiv's harsh environment expertise in engineered components.

Share Repurchase Program

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company repurchased 0.04 million shares for approximately $4 million under its existing authorized share repurchase program, leaving approximately $836 million available for future share repurchases. Year-to-date, the Company repurchased 1.72 million shares for approximately $153 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 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.

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.
