Sales in both business segments once again outpaced market growth rates. And cash flow exceeded the high end of our guidance range, reflecting early benefits from our Lear Forward plan. Despite modest growth expected in 2023 production volumes, we are projecting another year of increased revenue, earnings and cash flow."

Core operating earnings were $265 million, or 4.9% of sales, compared to $158 million, or 3.2% of sales, in 2021. The increase in earnings resulted primarily from higher production

on key Lear platforms, the addition of new business and favorable operating performance, which was partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange.

For the full year 2022, global vehicle production increased by 7% compared to a year ago, with North America up 10%, Europe down 1% and China up 8%. Global vehicle production increased 5% on a Lear sales-weighted basis(2).

Sales for the full year increased 8% to $20.9 billion compared to a year ago. Excluding the impact of commodities, foreign exchange and acquisitions, sales were up 10%, reflecting the addition of new business in both of our business segments and increased production on key Lear platforms. Sales growth over market for the full year was 5 percentage points, driven primarily by the impact of new business in both segments.

Core operating earnings were $871 million, or 4.2% of sales, compared to $826 million, or 4.3% of sales, in 2021. The increase in earnings resulted primarily from the addition of new business and higher production on key Lear platforms, partially offset by higher commodity costs and the impact of foreign exchange. Excluding the impact of higher commodity costs, both of our business segments had positive operating performance. In the Seating segment, margins and adjusted margins were 5.7% and 6.2% of sales, respectively. In the E-Systems segment, margins and adjusted margins were 1.4% and 3.5% of sales, respectively.

Earnings per share were $5.47, compared to $6.19 in 2021. Adjusted earnings per share were $8.72, up from $7.94 per share in 2021, reflecting higher operating earnings.

For the full year of 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,021 million, and free cash flow(1) was $383 million.

<sup>(1)</sup> For more information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Information" below.

<sup>(2)</sup> The production change on a Lear sales-weighted basis is calculated using Lear's prior year regional sales mix and fourth quarter fiscal calendar. Management believes this provides a more meaningful comparison of the Company's global revenue growth relative to global vehicle production.

**<u>2023-2025 Sales Backlog</u>**

The consolidated three-year sales backlog is $2.85 billion and will drive continued global revenue growth and sales diversification. The backlog supports growth over market in Seating and E-Systems and is driven by both conquest awards and the benefits of our growing electrification business.

**<u>Share Repurchase Program</u>**

During the fourth quarter of 2022, we repurchased 195,897 shares of our common stock for a total of $25.1 million. At the end of the fourth quarter, we had a remaining share repurchase authorization of approximately $1.2 billion, which expires on December 31, 2024, and reflects approximately 15% of our total market capitalization at current market prices.

Since initiating the share repurchase program in 2011, we have repurchased 53.2 million shares of our common stock for a total of $4.9 billion at an average price of $91.55 per share. This represents a reduction of approximately 50% of our shares outstanding since the time we began the program.

**<u>2023 Financial Outlook</u>**

At the midpoint of our guidance range, we have assumed that global industry production will be 1% higher than in 2022. The industry volume assumptions underlying Lear's 2023 financial outlook are derived from several sources, including internal estimates, customer production schedules and the most recent S&P Global Mobility production estimates for Lear's vehicle platforms.

Our 2023 financial outlook is summarized below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | ***Full Year 2023 Financial Outlook*** |
| Net Sales | $21,200 - $22,200 million |
| Core Operating Earnings | $875 - $1,075 million |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $1,475 - $1,675 million |
| Restructuring Costs | ≈$100 million |
| Operating Cash Flow | $1,075 - $1,225 million |
| Capital Spending | ≈$700 million |
| Free Cash Flow | $375 - $525 million |

The financial outlook is based on a full year average exchange rate of $1.05/Euro and 7.00 RMB/$.

*Certain of the forward-looking financial measures above are provided on a non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP because to do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.*

**<u>Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Conference Call and Webcast Information</u>**

A conference call and webcast will be held to discuss Lear's fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results and related matters on February 2, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. EST. The webcast link for the conference call will be available through Lear's investor relations webpage at ir.lear.com. In addition, the conference call can be accessed by dialing 1-877-883-0383 (domestic) or 1-412-902-6506 (international) with Conference I.D. 9600227. The webcast replay will be available two hours following the call.

**<u>Non-GAAP Financial Information</u>** 

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included throughout this press release, the Company has provided information regarding "pretax income before equity income, interest, other (income) expense, restructuring costs and other special items" (core operating earnings or adjusted segment earnings), "pretax income before equity income, interest, other (income) expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs and other special items" (adjusted EBITDA), "adjusted depreciation and amortization," "adjusted net income attributable to Lear" (adjusted net income), "adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to Lear" (adjusted earnings per share) and "free cash flow" (each, a non-GAAP financial measure). Other (income) expense includes, among other things, non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets and the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost. Adjusted depreciation and amortization represents depreciation expense and amortization of intangible assets adjusted for intangible asset impairment charges. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share represent net income attributable to Lear and diluted net income per share attributable to Lear, respectively, adjusted for restructuring costs and other special items, including the tax effect thereon. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

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 and results of operations. In particular, management believes that core operating earnings, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted depreciation and amortization, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful measures in assessing the Company's financial performance by excluding certain items that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company's continuing operating activities. Management also believes that these measures provide improved comparability between fiscal periods. Management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's ability to

------

service and repay its debt. Further, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting future periods.

Core operating earnings, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted depreciation and amortization, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income attributable to Lear, diluted net income per share attributable to Lear, cash provided by operating activities or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and, therefore, does not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

**<u>Forward-Looking Statements</u>**

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding anticipated financial results and liquidity. The words "will," "may," "designed to," "outlook," "believes," "should," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "estimates," "forecasts" and similar expressions identify certain of these forward-looking statements. The Company also may provide forward-looking statements in oral statements or other written materials released to the public. All statements contained or incorporated in this press release or in any other public statements that address operating performance, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended April 2, 2022, July 2, 2022, and October 1, 2022, and its other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Future operating results will be based on various factors, including actual industry production volumes, the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war on the Company's business and the global economy, supply chain disruptions, commodity prices, changes in foreign exchange rates, the impact of restructuring actions and the Company's success in implementing its operating strategy.

Information in this press release relies on assumptions in the Company's sales backlog. The Company's sales backlog reflects anticipated net sales from formally awarded new programs less lost and discontinued programs. The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide production parts generally at the beginning of a vehicle's life cycle. Typically, these contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of production, and many of these contracts may be terminated by the Company's customers at any time. Therefore, these contracts do not represent firm orders. Further, the calculation of the sales backlog does not reflect customer price reductions on existing or newly awarded programs. The sales backlog may be impacted by various assumptions embedded in the calculation, including vehicle production levels on new programs, foreign exchange rates and the timing of major program launches.

------

The forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update, amend or clarify them to reflect events, new information or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.
