• Visteon Announces First-Quarter 2022 Results

    ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 28 4 2022 06:55:00   America/New_York

    VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC) today reported first quarter financial results. Highlights include:

    • Sales of $818 million, up 11%1 from prior year
    • Growth-over-market of 22%1 versus top customers' vehicle production
    • Net income of $22 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $71 million or 8.7% of sales
    • 16 new products launched in first quarter
    • $950 million in new business wins
    • $56 million in net cash at quarter end when excluding debt of $349 million

    Visteon reported net sales of $818 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 11% excluding the impact of currency. Total industry production decreased 4% while vehicle production at Visteon’s top customers decreased 11%1 in the same period, reflecting supply chain constraints and the worldwide semiconductor shortage. Despite these constraints, the company's sales performance represents 22%1 growth-over-market compared to the production volumes of its customers.

    Gross margin in the first quarter was $76 million, and net income attributable to Visteon was $22 million or $0.77 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined below, was $71 million for the first quarter or 8.7% of sales, an increase of $7 million compared to the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA reflects the favorable impact of higher sales volumes, higher pricing, and lower engineering costs. This increase was partially offset by higher semiconductor costs net of customer cost recoveries.

    Visteon launched 16 new products in the first quarter and is setting the foundation for another year of robust launch activity. Key first quarter launches include a 12-inch digital cluster for the F-150 Lightning EV that recently launched with Ford and several center information display programs across multiple vehicle lines with Mazda, including their all-new CX-60 plug-in hybrid SUV. Additional key launches include a 10-inch digital cluster on the new Nissan Z and a 10-inch digital cluster on Honda’s first generation all-electric BEV crossover for the China market.

    The company won $950 million in new business in the first quarter, approximately 20% of which were for programs with electric vehicle variants. First quarter wins included a global multi-display module program, an additional SmartCore™ customer, and a 7-inch all-digital cluster for a global program on a high-volume sedan with a Japanese OEM.

    For the first three months, cash used by operations was $21 million and capital expenditures were $21 million. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, for the first three months of 2022 was a use of cash of $37 million, compared to a source of cash of $9 million for the same period in 2021. The company ended the first quarter with cash of $405 million and debt of $349 million, representing a net cash position of $56 million.

    “I am proud of Visteon’s continued performance and our ability to deliver a strong sales quarter and improved earnings versus the prior year in a challenging environment,” said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “Our continued growth-over-market is driven by our best-in-class product portfolio and this quarter represents our twelfth consecutive quarter of market outperformance.”

    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 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.

    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, 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, net, 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.
