2020 Stockholders letter and annual report on Form 10-K




FRÉDÉRIC LISSALDE
President and Chief Executive Officer

“

When I look back on 2020, I will remember the optimism and resilience of our people in the face of an extremely challenging environment.

J J

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

As I write this letter in February 2021, the world remains gripped by the COVID-19 pandemic. Every person and organization on the planet have been impacted over the past year, and BorgWarner was no exception. Yet, we learned to operate effectively within the confines of the pandemic, successfully completed our largest acquisition to date, and focused on the acceleration of the company toward electrification. When I look back on 2020, I will remember the optimism and resilience of our people in the face of an extremely challenging environment.
As the pandemic took hold around the world in the first quarter of 2020, we met the challenges of managing costs and cash during the resulting production shutdowns, while ensuring our ability to maintain supply to our customers as production resumed. We did all this while putting the health and safety of our employees first. We have extraordinary safety results, and we used the exact same standard of excellence that we have built over the past decade, with regard to this during the pandemic.

In the first quarter of 2020, we activated our cross-functional Critical




“Innovation and the appetite to share ideas that exemplify BorgWarner’s culture.”

Event Management Team to support our business while monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak. This team worked directly with our business unit and functional leaders to assess our local and global needs and provide a consistent response to support all stakeholders. Additionally, we formed an executive-level task force to establish the Safe-Restart Program, which included a set of 17 minimum standards and 9 additional recommended best practices to safely restart production. We saw additional innovative safety solutions developed at the plant level that were then promoted and used around the globe. It is this kind of innovation, along with the appetite to share ideas, that exemplify BorgWarner’s culture.

I want to thank all involved, especially our internal team members, who have maintained their focus and strong engagement, despite the challenges of managing production. As I look at what we accomplished in this environment, I believe we are well positioned to execute in the near and long term, with financial discipline and technology driving our profitable growth.

While managing the operational challenges of 2020, we also successfully completed the largest acquisition in the company’s history. In the fourth quarter, Delphi Technologies’ contribution to both revenue and operating income was ahead of our expectations, and we continued to see positive progress across all former Delphi businesses. The cost synergies related to the transaction tracked in line with our plan, and customer feedback remains very positive. We have won new business across our portfolio, and the integration is on track from all perspectives.

Reflecting on the announcement of the transaction a year later, our reasons for initially pursuing the



“Today, we are even better positioned with a more comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading products and systems, and we have also strengthened our commercial vehicle and aftermarket businesses.”
deal have been confirmed. The combination of BorgWarner and Delphi Technologies has strengthened our electronics and power electronics products, capabilities, and scale, creating a leader in electrified propulsion systems that we believe is well positioned to take advantage of ongoing propulsion migration. Today, we are even better positioned with a more comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading products and systems, and we have also strengthened our commercial vehicle and aftermarket businesses. We welcomed our Delphi Technologies colleagues in the fall and are excited about the ongoing projects and opportunities to address the shift toward electrification. I am proud of our planning teams for driving the business forward, as we continue to execute a smooth integration. The fact that we were able to complete a global deal of this size during a pandemic is a huge testament to the collaboration and determination of everyone involved. I expect that we will realize significant benefits from this combination for our stockholders, customers, and suppliers.

Of course, not all challenges were related to the pandemic. In April, I was shocked to see the devastation around our facility in Seneca, South Carolina, following a tornado. Tragically, one person guarding the facility lost his life, but the toll could have been much worse. Thankfully, the facility was temporarily closed the night of the storm – normally, there would have been anywhere from 200 to 300 people on site. We were able to rebuild rapidly, and production resumed at the damaged facility approximately 500 hours after the tornado. This is a great example of the resilience and determination exhibited by the people of BorgWarner.

While these near-term projects and challenges are top of mind, it is also worth taking a step back to highlight how we view our standing in the

world today and why we believe we are well positioned for the long term. Mobility is increasingly essential to people, but also increasingly costly to the environment. We make products that make mobility cleaner and more efficient.

Around the world, populations and living standards are increasing. Both factors drive demand for mobility, while steadily increasing regulations accelerate the need to make it cleaner and more efficient. We know that in the next decade, the focus on hybrid and electric vehicles will intensify, and the use of internal combustion engines will decline. We are aware of the factors driving these changes, which have also been informing our corporate evolution, to ensure we continue to meet this demand.
Part of the solution is our product leadership and manufacturing. We believe our revenue content opportunity per electrified light vehicle is more than two-and-a-half times the content opportunity per internal combustion engine vehicles. The other crucial factor is our people. We aspire to provide our employees with a workplace experience focused on physical and psychological safety, where there is a strong spirit of inclusion and a deep sense of belonging, because we live our beliefs. Finally, the close customer bonds we have nurtured for decades create predictable multiyear demand. We know customers want to partner with quality providers like BorgWarner that combine local knowledge with global scale.
If the past year has taught us anything, it is that the world is unpredictable. That is why we are diversified by market, region, and products, and place importance on embracing change. We expect to remain among the strongest, most profitable companies in the industry, and our strategy combines organic growth, technology-driven M&A, and creative venture capital engagements. It should not be overlooked that our financial strength has enabled us to invest in change. Combined, our approach ensures we are constantly evolving, and our success is proven by two key facts: Our revenue has grown more than industry volumes year after year, and the growth in content we can provide per vehicle has increased each year.




During the previous year, we added talent and diversity to our Board of Directors with the appointment of three new directors. First, Dr. Shaun E. McAlmont joined the Board in August. Shaun is the President of Career Learning Solutions at Stride, Inc., a provider of online education programs, skills training, and talent development. As a recognized business leader with significant expertise in the education and workforce development space, his experience, skills, and passion are a great complement to our Board.

In October, Nelda J. Connors and David S. Haffner both joined our Board in conjunction with the completion of the Delphi Technologies acquisition. Nelda is the founder, Chairwoman, and Chief Executive Officer of Pine Grove Holdings, a woman- and minority-owned privately held investment company that acquires companies with a high engineering and service component in areas such as power generation, specialty logistics, and transportation. As a groundbreaking leader and board member, Nelda brings significant expertise in operations, financial management, quality, engineering, and business strategy. In 2015, David retired as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Leggett & Platt, Inc., a diversified manufacturing company. David has extensive experience managing the operations of an international public company and provides the Board with experience in manufacturing operations, labor relations, compensation strategy, and financial performance.
I want to thank our existing and recently added board members for their significant contributions. As we encountered challenges not faced in modern times, their counsel has been more important than ever in the last year.

At the start of 2020, and again in 2021, we were honored to be one of just a few hundred companies included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), which tracks the performance of public companies committed to supporting gender equality through policy development, representation, and transparency. We are proud of our longstanding commitment of embracing equality, and have the drive to continue diversifying our talent pool and nurturing an inclusive culture that affords employees an equal opportunity to grow and thrive.












In 2020, BorgWarner also joined the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion \( ^{™} \) , which is the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace. And over the years, our company has developed several programs aimed at increasing its dedication to diversity and inclusion, such as our Women in Leadership program, which focuses on nurturing women with high potential at every level of their career by giving them an array of opportunities to hone their strengths and leadership skills.

Our decentralized operating model puts ownership and decision-making authority in the hands of each individual employee. We know if we focus on our people they will focus on our products and customers, and by giving employees responsibility early on they remain engaged, which becomes a strong retention and recruiting tool. Our highly skilled engineers provide a competitive edge and have transferable skills, and our research indicates we are more successful at recruiting than our peers. In turn, this helps create unusually strong customer bonds, increasing business retention and giving us greater insight into future demand shifts. We are proud to be a global diversity, equity, and inclusion leader, achieving 98.7% gender pay parity. Today, 26% of our employees are women in a historically male sector. Our steady reduction in our own energy and GHG emissions protects the planet, saves money, and sets an example. Finally, our good governance profile supports stability, accountability, and transparency.

With everything we faced last year, we are pleased with our stronger-than-expected growth above market and cash flow performance for the year. With approximately $10.2 billion in sales, we were able to outgrow the market by approximately 630 basis points in 2020, as we delivered outgrowth in all major regions, with close to 15% in China.

Following the completion of the acquisition, Delphi Technologies added more than $1.1 billion to our fourth quarter revenue and $109

million in operating income, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. While our full-year earnings per share declined year over year due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our performance was in line with our expectations, and our margin performance was achieved while preserving R&D spending. Importantly, we generated record free cash flow of $743 million in 2020, which exceeded even the guidance that we provided in January of last year, prior to the pandemic. A terrific achievement under the circumstances!

We expect to continue driving our industry outgrowth going forward, and our guidance implies another record year for free cash flow in

2021. This is an important financial strength, as we believe it enables us to continue to successfully position the company for the future. We expect our global market increase in 2021 to be in the 11% to 14% range.

Looking ahead to 2022 to 2024, we expect a combined net new business backlog and aftermarket growth of approximately $2.8 billion. Encouragingly, we expect more than 45 percent of the backlog to come from products enabling vehicle electrification.

During 2020, as we have come to expect, our team continued its track record of significant new business awards. I’d like to highlight several of the most interesting projects. In August, we announced an agreement with Ford to deliver a high-quality, clean, and efficient propulsion solution to the high-performance electrification market – a power-packed Integrated Drive Module (iDM) for the revolutionary all-electric Mustang Mach-E SUV. Our knowledge of system integration, paired with our gearing proficiency, allows us to design iDMs that are easy to assemble and operate as quietly as possible, which is even more important in electrified vehicles.

Over the summer, we announced that we are supplying our high-performance, lightweight, and compact electric drive module (eDM) to power three Chinese

new-energy vehicles (NEVs). With a compact, lightweight, easy-to-install design, BorgWarner’s eDM delivers the power desired, while enabling customers to meet stringent market standards for vehicle emissions. We are proud that our eDM is being recognized by customers for its extraordinary performance for both hybrid and electric vehicles.

In September, we announced another important inverter award, partnering with a premium European OEM to supply our 800-volt silicon carbide inverter for their next generation, battery electric vehicles (BEVs). This inverter significantly improves both efficiency and range, while enabling a 50% charging time reduction through the 800V architecture. Expected to launch in 2024, this award exemplifies our growing momentum in power electronics, and we are excited to advance our position as a leading supplier of inverters for future BEVs.

We also secured an 800-volt Electric Motor award with a global commercial vehicle customer expected to launch in 2024, using four variants of our latest hairpin motor design. By using our 800-volt rated machine, customers can significantly reduce charging time and achieve higher power density through the 800V architecture, enabling an even brighter future for electric trucks. We will continue to focus on the electrification opportunities in commercial vehicles, in addition to our light vehicle market.

Finally, we are also partnering with a major European OEM to supply our 400-volt silicon carbide inverter for next-generation BEVs that is expected to launch in 2022, which will be our second largest inverter program to date. This program also illustrates our ongoing innovation in power electronics, as we are leading the market trend to upgrade from silicon to silicon carbide inverters.

2020 was an extremely challenging year in terms of the operating environment. We have, and will continue to, put the health and safety of our people first. I want to commend the entire BorgWarner team for how they have responded to the issues posed by the pandemic, while achieving excellent results and delivering better-than-expected outgrowth and record free cash flow. It is the strength of our relationships, based on deep trust and collaboration, that allowed us to successfully complete

the Delphi Technologies deal in a virtual environment. In doing so, we are now a trusted partner in power electronics, as we continue to capitalize on the profound industry shift towards electrification. We believe we are on track to deliver a successful integration and synergies as planned. We believe our industry outgrowth is poised to continue in the coming years, driven by the demand for our efficiency-improving products across our portfolio, and we expect to produce another record year of free cash flow in 2021. We have seen the power of human resilience on full display this past year, and I could not be more proud of our team.

Sincerely,

Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) (including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) may contain forward-looking statements as contemplated by the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (the “Act”) that are based on management’s current outlook, expectations, estimates and projections. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimates,” “evaluates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “initiative,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “project,” “pursue,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “when,” “will,” “would,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Further, all statements, other than statements of historical fact contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future regarding our financial position, business strategy and measures to implement that strategy, including changes to operations, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. Accounting estimates, such as those described under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, are inherently forward-looking. All forward looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, among others, include: uncertainties regarding the extent and duration of impacts of matters associated with COVID-19/coronavirus (“COVID-19”), including additional production disruptions; the failure to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC that the Company completed on October 1, 2020; the failure to promptly and effectively integrate acquired businesses; the potential for unknown or inestimable liabilities relating to the acquired businesses; the possibility that the proposed transaction between the Company and AKASOL AG will not be consummated; failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or to satisfy any of the other conditions to the proposed transaction; failure to realize the expected benefits of the proposed transaction; our dependence on automotive and truck production, both of which are highly cyclical and subject to disruptions; our reliance on major OEM customers; commodities availability and pricing; supply disruptions; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; availability of credit; our dependence on key management; our dependence on information systems; the uncertainty of the global economic environment; the outcome of existing or any future legal proceedings, including litigation with respect to various claims; future changes in laws and regulations, including, by way of example, tariffs, in the countries in which we operate; impacts from any potential future acquisition or divestiture transactions; and the other risks noted under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and in other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update or announce publicly any updates to or revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, circumstances, or assumptions underlying the statements.

This section and the discussions contained in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and in Item 7, subheading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in this report, are intended to provide meaningful cautionary statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Act. This should not be construed as a complete list of all of the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that could adversely affect our expected consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those not currently known to us or that we currently



believe are immaterial, also may impair our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects.

## Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this report includes non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in understanding the underlying performance and trends of the Company. Readers should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To compensate for these limitations, we use non-GAAP measures as comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance or financial condition. We calculate these measures using the appropriate GAAP components in their entirety and compute them in a manner intended to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. The Company's method of calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this report.



## PART I

## Item 1. Business

BorgWarner Inc. (together with its Consolidated Subsidiaries, the "Company" or "BorgWarner") is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1987. We are a global product leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles.

The Company operates manufacturing facilities serving customers in Europe, the Americas and Asia and is an original equipment supplier to nearly every major automotive OEM in the world.

## Acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC

Acquisitions are an integral component of the Company’s growth and value creation strategy. On October 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Delphi Technologies PLC (“Delphi Technologies”) from the shareholders of Delphi Technologies pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, dated January 28, 2020, as amended on May 6, 2020, by and between the Company and Delphi Technologies (the “Transaction Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Company issued, in exchange for each Delphi Technologies share, 0.4307 of a share of common stock of the Company and cash in lieu of any fractional share. In the aggregate, the Company delivered consideration of approximately $2.4 billion, including approximately 37 million shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $1.5 billion, repayment of approximately $900 million of Delphi Technologies’ debt and stock-based compensation of approximately $15 million. Upon closing, the Company also assumed approximately $800 million in senior notes as discussed in Item 7 of this report under the caption “Acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC.” The acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company’s electronics and power electronics products, capabilities and scale, position the Company for greater growth as electrified propulsion systems gain momentum and enhance key combustion, commercial vehicle and aftermarket product offerings. Refer to Note 2, “Acquisitions,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for more information.

## Financial Information About Reporting Segments

Refer to Note 24, “Reporting Segments And Related Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for financial information about the Company's reporting segments.



## Narrative Description of Reporting Segments

Following the Delphi Technologies acquisition, to align with the manner in which the business is viewed and managed subsequent to the acquisition, the Company reorganized its management reporting structure. Previously, the Company reported its results under two reporting segments, Engine and Drivetrain, which are now combined for reporting purposes with portions of the acquired business and referred to as Air Management and e-Propulsion & Drivetrain, respectively. The former Delphi Technologies Powertrain Products segment was integrated into the Air Management segment, and the former Delphi Technologies Electronics & Electrification segment was integrated into the e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment. The remaining Delphi Technologies segments comprise two additional reporting segments, which are referred to as Fuel Injection and Aftermarket. In summary, the Company's business is comprised of four reporting segments which are further described below. Segment information for periods prior to the Delphi Technologies acquisition do not include amounts related to the acquired Delphi Technologies operations. Net sales by reporting segment were as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="4">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Air Management</td><td>$ 5,678</td><td>$ 6,214</td><td>$ 6,447</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>e-Propulsion &amp; Drivetrain</td><td>3,989</td><td>4,015</td><td>4,140</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Fuel Injection</td><td>479</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Aftermarket</td><td>194</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Inter-segment eliminations</td><td>(175)</td><td>(61)</td><td>(57)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net sales</td><td>$ 10,165</td><td>$ 10,168</td><td>$ 10,530</td><td></td></tr></table>

The sales information presented above does not include the sales by the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (see sub-heading “Joint Ventures” below). Such unconsolidated sales totaled approximately $721 million, $827 million, and $947 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

## Air Management

The Company’s former Engine segment now incorporates the former Powertrain Products segment of Delphi Technologies and is referred to as the Air Management segment. The Air Management segment develops and manufactures products to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance performance. The Air Management segment’s technologies include: turbochargers, eBoosters, eTurbos, timing systems, emissions systems, thermal systems, gasoline ignition technology, smart remote actuators, powertrain sensors, canisters, cabin heaters, battery heaters and battery charging.

The Air Management segment’s emissions, thermal and turbocharger systems provide several benefits including increased power for a given engine size, improved fuel economy, reduced emissions and optimized temperatures in propulsion systems and vehicle cabins. Sales of turbochargers for light vehicles represented approximately 24%, 28% and 27% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Air Management segment's timing systems enable precise control of air and exhaust flow through the engine, improving fuel economy and emissions. The Air Management segment is a leading manufacturer of timing systems for OEMs around the world.

The Air Management segment’s powertrain products include an array of highly engineered products that complement and enhance the efficiency improvements delivered by many other air management and fuel injection technologies.



## e-Propulsion & Drivetrain

The Company’s former Drivetrain segment now incorporates the former Electronics & Electrification segment of Delphi Technologies and is referred to as the e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment.

## Financial Information About Geographic Areas

The Company has a global presence. During the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately 20% of the Company’s net sales were generated in the United States and 80% were generated outside the United States. Refer to Note 24, “Reporting Segments And Related Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for additional financial information about geographic areas.

## Product Lines and Customers

During the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately 82% of the Company’s net sales were for light-vehicle applications; approximately 9% were for commercial-vehicle applications; approximately 3% were for off-highway vehicle applications; and approximately 6% were to distributors of aftermarket replacement parts.



The Company’s worldwide net sales to the following customers (including their subsidiaries) were approximately as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">Customer</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Ford</td><td>13 %</td><td>15 %</td><td>14 %</td></tr><tr><td>Volkswagen</td><td>11 %</td><td>11 %</td><td>12 %</td></tr></table>

No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in any of the years presented. Sales to our top ten customers represented 64% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company's automotive products are generally sold directly to OEMs, substantially pursuant to negotiated annual contracts, long-term supply agreements or terms and conditions as may be modified by the parties. Deliveries are subject to periodic authorizations based upon OEM production schedules. The Company typically ships its products directly from its plants to the OEMs.

## Sales and Marketing

Each of the Company’s businesses within its reporting segments has its own sales function. Account executives for each of our businesses are assigned to serve specific customers for one or more businesses’ products. Our account executives spend the majority of their time in direct contact with customers’ purchasing and engineering employees and are responsible for servicing existing business and for identifying and obtaining new business. Because of their close relationship with customers, account executives are able to identify and meet customers’ needs based upon their knowledge of our products’ design and manufacturing capabilities. Upon securing a new order, account executives participate in product launch team activities and serve as a key interface with customers. In addition, sales and marketing employees of our reporting segments often work together to explore cross-development opportunities where appropriate.

## Seasonality

Our operations are directly related to the automotive and commercial-vehicle industry. Consequently, our segments may experience seasonal fluctuations to the extent vehicle production slows, such as in the summer months when many customer plants typically close for model year changeovers or vacations. Historically, model changeovers or vacations have generally resulted in lower sales volume in the Company’s third quarter.

## Research and Development

The Company conducts advanced propulsion research. This advanced engineering function seeks to leverage know-how and expertise across product lines to create new propulsion systems and modules that can be commercialized. This function oversees the Company's investments in certain venture capital funds that provide seed money for start-up businesses developing new technologies pertinent to the automotive industry and the Company's propulsion strategies.

In addition, each of the Company's businesses within its Air Management, e-Propulsion & Drivetrain and Fuel Injection reporting segments has its own research and development (“R&D”) organization, including engineers and technicians, engaged in R&D activities at facilities worldwide. The Company also operates testing facilities such as prototype, measurement and calibration, life cycle testing and dynamometer laboratories.

By working closely with OEMs and anticipating their future product needs, the Company's R&D personnel conceive, design, develop and manufacture new proprietary components and systems. R&D



personnel also work to improve current products and production processes. The Company believes its commitment to R&D will allow it to continue to obtain new orders from its OEM customers.

The Company’s net R&D expenditures are primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross R&D expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Customer reimbursements for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on customer contracts, typically either when the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the customer. Customer reimbursements for engineering services are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the contract. Financial risks and rewards transfer upon shipment, acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or upon completion of the performance obligation as stated in the respective customer agreement.

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="4">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Gross R&amp;D expenditures</td><td>$ 533</td><td>$ 498</td><td>$ 512</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Customer reimbursements</td><td>(57)</td><td>(85)</td><td>(72)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net R&amp;D expenditures</td><td>$ 476</td><td>$ 413</td><td>$ 440</td><td></td></tr></table>

Net R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales were 4.7%, 4.1% and 4.2% for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

## Intellectual Property

The Company has approximately 9,830 active domestic and foreign patents and patent applications pending or under preparation and receives royalties from licensing patent rights to others. The Company acquired approximately 3,800 of these patents and patent applications as a result of the Delphi Technologies acquisition. While it considers its patents on the whole to be important, the Company does not consider any single patent, any group of related patents or any single license essential to its operations in the aggregate or to the operations of any of the Company's business groups individually. The expiration of the patents individually and in the aggregate is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or future operating results. The Company owns numerous trademarks, some of which are valuable, but none of which are essential to its business in the aggregate.

The Company owns the “BorgWarner” trade name and numerous BORGWARNER trademarks, including without limitation “BORGWARNER” and “BORGWARNER and Bug Design”, which are material to the Company’s business.

## Competition

The Company's reporting segments compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar products. Many of these competitors are larger and have greater resources than the Company. Technological innovation, application engineering development, quality, price, delivery and program launch support are the primary methods of competition.

The Company’s major non-OEM competitors are Robert Bosch GmbH, Denso Corporation, Hitachi, Ltd., Magna Powertrain (an operating unit of Magna International Inc.), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Schaeffler Group and Vitesco Technologies. The Company also competes with certain start-ups in electrification.

In addition, a number of the Company's major OEM customers manufacture, for their own use and for others, products that compete with the Company's products. Other current OEM customers could elect to manufacture products to meet their own requirements or to compete with the Company. There is no



assurance that the Company's business will not be adversely affected by increased competition in the markets in which it operates.

For many of its products, the Company’s competitors include suppliers in parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs, lower tax rates and, in some cases, export subsidies and/or raw materials subsidies. Also, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

## Human Capital Management

Our ability to sustain and grow our business requires us to hire, retain and develop a highly skilled and diverse management team and workforce worldwide. We believe the skills, experience, and industry knowledge of our employees significantly benefit our operations and performance. The Company is committed to treating our employees with dignity and respect and to creating an inclusive environment for open communication where employees can share their ideas, concerns and suggestions.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a salaried and hourly workforce of approximately 50,000 worldwide:

<table><tr><td>Americas</td><td>16,100</td></tr><tr><td>Asia</td><td>13,500</td></tr><tr><td>Europe</td><td>20,100</td></tr><tr><td>Total Employees</td><td>49,700</td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Salaried</td><td>15,900</td></tr><tr><td>Hourly</td><td>33,800</td></tr><tr><td>Total Employees</td><td>49,700</td></tr></table>

The approximately 50,000 employees described above include approximately 19,000 employees added as a result of our acquisition of Delphi Technologies.

We use an array of practices to attract, develop and retain highly qualified talent, including:

- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (“DE&I”). We aspire to provide our employees with a workplace experience focused on physical and psychological safety, where there is a strong spirit of inclusion and a deep sense of belonging, because we live our beliefs. We cultivate a culture where employees are treated with respect and their differences are valued. We provide opportunities that inspire them to thrive in every area they pursue. We are continually reviewing our policies, programs and processes to ensure alignment with our DE&I strategy. The Company undertakes targeted recruitment that serves as a strategic opportunity to build a diverse leadership pipeline. The Company also provides employees the opportunity to participate in resource groups aimed at celebrating diversity, ensuring equity and promoting inclusion. As of December 31, 2020:

• Four of 11 board members are female and/or minorities;

• Four of 13 executive management team members are female and/or minorities; and

Women make up 15% of the Company’s leadership (those who participate in the management incentive plan), 22% of the Company’s salaried workforce, 33% of the Company’s new hires and 26% of the Company’s total workforce.

- Minorities make up 14% of the Company’s U.S. leadership (those who participate in the management incentive plan), 17% of the Company’s U.S. salaried workforce, 25% of the Company’s U.S. new hires and 21% of the Company’s total U.S. workforce.

• Engagement & Sentiment. The Company actively deploys strategies to attract the brightest and best talent and to engage and retain our talent. We recognize and reward employee contributions with competitive pay and benefits. The Company closely monitors employee turnover as part of our efforts to improve retention and to spot any potential opportunities for improvement. In the



year ended December 31, 2020, annual voluntary employee turnover was 9%. The Company provided more than 56,700 hours of training to salaried employees in the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company provides formal development opportunities at all levels and stages of the career journey of our employees. These opportunities are delivered in a variety of formats to make our portfolio of solutions agile, sustainable and scalable.

Health & Safety. Our employees’ safety is vitally important. The Company is dedicated to continuously improving safety performance. Evidence of our dedication is in our results: our global workforce accident total recordable incident rate through December 31, 2020 was 0.44 (excluding locations acquired from Delphi Technologies), while in comparison the top quartile for motor vehicle parts manufacturing was lower than or equal to 1.1, and the mean was 2.4 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “BLS”). The Company’s global workforce accident lost time incident rate through December 31, 2020 was 0.28, while in comparison the top quartile for motor vehicle parts manufacturing was lower than or equal to 0.1 and the mean was 0.6 according to the BLS. Additionally, the Company has a formal audited health and safety management system in place at all of our manufacturing and technical centers.

In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Company activated its Critical Event Management Team to closely monitor and provide global guidance on industry and regulatory health and safety recommendations. Additionally, the Company developed a Safe Restart Task Force focused on the implementation of global facility restart best practices and the procurement of personal protective equipment in collaboration with industry partners. Safe work procedures implemented globally during 2020 consisted of, but were not limited to, temporary travel bans, temperature screenings, enhanced sanitation and facility access procedures, suspected and/or positive case response, social distancing guidelines and remote work arrangements.

Approximately 12% of the Company’s U.S. workforce is unionized. These employees, located at one facility, in the state of New York, are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expires in September 2024. Employees at certain international facilities are also unionized. The Company believes the present relations with its workforce to be satisfactory. The Company recognizes that, in many of the locations where it operates, employees have freedom of association rights with third party organizations such as labor unions. The Company respects and supports those rights, including the right to collective bargaining, in accordance with local laws.

## Raw Materials

The Company uses a variety of raw materials in the production of its products including aluminum, copper, nickel, plastic resins, steel and certain alloy elements. Manufacturing operations for each of the Company's operating segments are dependent upon natural gas, fuel oil and electricity.

The Company uses a variety of tactics in an attempt to limit the impact of supply shortages and inflationary pressures. The Company's global procurement organization works to accelerate cost reductions, purchase from lower cost regions, optimize the supply base, mitigate risk and collaborate on its buying activities. In addition, the Company uses long-term contracts, cost sharing arrangements, design changes, customer buy programs and limited financial instruments to help control costs. The Company intends to use similar measures in 2021 and beyond. Refer to Note 17, “Financial Instruments,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for information related to the Company's hedging activities.

For 2021, the Company believes that its supplies of raw materials are adequate and available from multiple sources to support its manufacturing requirements.



## Regulations

The Company operates in a constantly evolving global regulatory environment and is subject to numerous and varying regulatory requirements for its product performance and material content. The Company's practice is to identify potential regulatory and quality risks early in the design and development process and proactively manage them throughout the product lifecycle through the use of routine assessments, protocols, standards, performance measures and audits. New regulations and changes to existing regulations are managed in collaboration with our OEM customers and implemented through the Company's global systems and procedures designed to ensure compliance with existing laws and regulations. The Company demonstrates material content compliance through the International Material Data System ("IMDS"), which is the automotive industry material data system. In the IMDS, all materials used for automobile manufacturing are archived and maintained to meet the obligations placed on the automobile manufacturers, and thus on their suppliers, by national and international standards, laws and regulations.

The Company works collaboratively with a number of stakeholder groups including government agencies, such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, its customers and its suppliers to proactively engage in federal, state and international public policy processes.

Refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” for a discussion of the impact of environmental regulations on our business. Also, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

## Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impact our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business including its financial performance, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be adversely affected.

## Risks related to COVID-19

We face risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic that could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted, and is likely to continue to disrupt, the global automotive industry and customer sales, production volumes, and purchases of light vehicles by end consumers. In



2020, global vehicle production decreased, and some vehicle manufacturers, at times, completely shut down manufacturing operations in some countries and regions, including the United States and Europe. As a result, we have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, delays in the production and distribution of our products and the loss of sales. If the global economic effects caused by COVID-19 continue or increase, overall customer demand may continue to decrease, which could have a further adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Global government directives and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, closing of borders, stay-at-home directives and closing of entire plants, cities and countries, have materially impacted our operations. Furthermore, COVID-19 has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. For example, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which adversely impact access to capital and increase the cost of capital.

Due to the uncertainty of its duration and the timing of recovery, we are not able at this time to predict the extent to which COVID-19 may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frames, will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of COVID-19, its severity, the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, including the availability and efficacy of the vaccines and any related restrictions on travel. Furthermore, the duration, timing and severity of the impact on customer production, including any recession resulting from COVID-19, are uncertain and cannot be predicted. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption as a result of COVID-19 would have a further material negative impact on our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition, though the full extent and duration are uncertain.

## Risks related to our acquisition of Delphi Technologies

The failure to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies and other risks associated with the acquisition could adversely affect our business.

The success of our acquisition of Delphi Technologies will depend in part on our ability to realize the expected benefits from combining the businesses of the Company and Delphi Technologies. To realize these anticipated benefits, both companies must be successfully combined, which is subject to our ability to consolidate operations, corporate cultures and systems and our ability to eliminate redundancies and costs. If we are unsuccessful in combining our two companies, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Further, there is potential for unknown or inestimable liabilities relating to the acquired Delphi Technologies' businesses. In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, which could reduce the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.

The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process that will require significant management attention and resources. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of our operations, the inability to maintain or increase our competitive presence, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the acquisition, the diversion of management's attention to integration matters and/or difficulties in the assimilation of employees and corporate cultures. Any or all of these factors could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition and could have an adverse effect on the combined company. In addition, many of these factors are outside of our control, and any one of these factors could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and additional diversion of



management’s time and energy, which could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There could be significant liability if the previous Delphi Technologies separation from its former parent fails to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

On December 4, 2017, Delphi Technologies became an independent publicly-traded company, following its separation from Aptiv PLC, formerly known as Delphi Automotive PLC. The separation was completed in the form of a pro-rata distribution of 100% of Delphi Technologies ordinary shares to Aptiv's shareholders. Aptiv received an opinion from its tax counsel substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution qualified as a distribution under Section 355(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, subject to certain qualifications and limitations. Based on this tax treatment, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional Delphi Technologies ordinary share, Aptiv shareholders did not recognize a gain or loss or include any amount in their income upon the receipt of Delphi Technologies ordinary shares in the distribution. The opinion was based on and relied on, among other things, certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from Aptiv and Delphi Technologies, including those regarding the past and future conduct of the companies' respective businesses and other matters. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are incorrect or not satisfied, Aptiv may not be able to rely on the opinion, and Aptiv's shareholders could be subject to significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. Notwithstanding the opinion of tax counsel, the Internal Revenue Service could determine on audit that the distribution is taxable to Aptiv's shareholders if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are not correct or have been violated or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinion.

In addition, Aptiv expects that restructuring transactions that it undertook in connection with the distribution will be taxed in a certain manner. If, contrary to Aptiv’s expectations, such transactions are taxed in a different manner, Aptiv and/or Delphi Technologies may incur additional tax liabilities that may be substantial. If the Company is required to pay any such liabilities, the payments could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial position.

Under the tax matters agreement between Aptiv and Delphi Technologies, we are required to indemnify Aptiv against taxes that Aptiv incurs that arise as a result of our taking or failing to take, as the case may be, certain actions that result in the distribution failing to meet the requirements of a distribution under Section 355(a) of the Code or that result in certain restructuring transactions in connection with the distribution failing to meet the requirements for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

## Risks related to our industry

## Conditions in the automotive industry may adversely affect our business.

Our financial performance depends on conditions in the global automotive industry. Automotive and truck production and sales are cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors including interest rates, consumer credit, and consumer spending and preferences. Economic declines that result in significant reduction in automotive or truck production would have an adverse effect on our sales to OEMs.

## We face strong competition.

We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell products similar to ours. Price, quality, delivery, technological innovation, engineering development and program launch support are the primary elements of competition. Our competitors include vertically integrated units of our major OEM customers, as well as a large number of independent domestic and international suppliers. Additionally, our competitors include start-ups that may be well funded, with the



result that they could have more operational and financial flexibility than we have. A number of our competitors are larger than we are, and some competitors have greater financial and other resources than we do. Although OEMs have indicated that they will continue to rely on outside suppliers, a number of our major OEM customers manufacture products for their own uses that directly compete with our products. These OEMs could elect to manufacture such products for their own uses in place of the products we currently supply. Our traditional OEM customers, faced with intense international competition, have continued to expand their worldwide sourcing of components. As a result, we have experienced competition from suppliers in other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages, such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs, lower tax rates and, in some cases, export or raw materials subsidies. Increased competition could adversely affect our business. In addition, any of our competitors may foresee the course of market development more accurately than we do, develop products that are superior to our products, produce similar products at a cost that is lower than our cost, or adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. As a result, our products may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors' products, and we may not be able to meet the growing demands of customers. These trends may adversely affect our sales as well as the profit margins on our products.

If we do not respond appropriately, the evolution of the automotive industry could adversely affect our business.

The automotive industry is increasingly focused on the development of hybrid and electric vehicles and of advanced driver assistance technologies, with the goal of developing and introducing a commercially-viable, fully-automated driving experience. There has also been an increase in consumer preferences for mobility on demand services, such as car and ride sharing, as opposed to automobile ownership, which may result in a long-term reduction in the number of vehicles per capita. In addition, some industry participants are exploring transportation through alternatives to automobiles. These evolving areas have also attracted increased competition from entrants outside the traditional automotive industry. If we do not continue to innovate and develop, or acquire, new and compelling products that capitalize upon new technologies in response to OEM and consumer preferences, this could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

The increased adoption of gasoline and hybrid propulsion systems in Western Europe may materially reduce the demand for our current products.

The industry mix shift away from diesel propulsion systems in Western Europe has resulted and is expected to result in lower demand for current diesel components. This shift is expected to drive further increased demand for gasoline and hybrid propulsion systems. Although we have developed and are currently in production with products for gasoline and hybrid propulsion systems and industry penetration rates for these products are expected to increase over the next several years, due to the high current penetration rates of our key technologies on diesel propulsion systems, this industry mix shift could adversely impact our near-term results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.



## Risks related to our business

## We are under substantial pressure from OEMs to reduce the prices of our products.

There is substantial and continuing pressure on OEMs to reduce costs, including costs of products we supply. OEM customers expect annual price reductions in our business. To maintain our profit margins, we seek price reductions from our suppliers, improved production processes to increase manufacturing efficiency, and streamlined product designs to reduce costs, and we attempt to develop new products, the benefits of which support stable or increased prices. Our ability to pass through increased raw material costs to our OEM customers is limited, with cost recovery often less than 100% and often on a delayed basis. Inability to reduce costs in an amount equal to annual price reductions, increases in raw material costs, and increases in employee wages and benefits could have an adverse effect on our business.

## We continue to face volatile costs of commodities used in the production of our products.

The Company uses a variety of commodities (including aluminum, copper, nickel, plastic resins, steel, other raw materials and energy) and materials purchased in various forms such as castings, powder metal, forgings, stampings and bar stock. Increasing commodity costs will have an impact on our results. We have sought to alleviate the impact of increasing costs by including a material pass-through provision in our customer contracts wherever possible and by selectively hedging certain commodity exposures. Customers frequently challenge these contractual provisions and rarely pay the full cost of any increases in the cost of materials. The discontinuation or lessening of our ability to pass through or hedge increasing commodity costs could adversely affect our business.

From time to time, commodity prices may also fall rapidly. If this happens, suppliers may withdraw capacity from the market until prices improve which may cause periodic supply interruptions. The same may be true of our transportation carriers and energy providers. If these supply interruptions occur, it could adversely affect our business.

Changes in U.S. administrative policy, including changes to existing trade agreements and any resulting changes in international trade relations, may have an adverse effect on us.

The United States has maintained tariffs on certain imported steel, aluminum and items originating from China. These tariffs have increased the cost of raw materials and components we purchase. The imposition of tariffs by the United States has resulted in retaliatory tariffs from a number of countries, including China, which increase the cost of products we sell. If the U.S. or other countries impose additional tariffs, that will have a further adverse impact on our business.

We use important intellectual property in our business. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property or if a third party makes assertions against us or our customers relating to intellectual property rights, our business could be adversely affected.

We own important intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and are involved in numerous licensing arrangements. Our intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining our competitive position in a number of the markets that we serve. Our competitors may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our proprietary technologies or design around the patents we own or license. Further, as we expand our operations in jurisdictions where the enforcement of intellectual property rights is less robust, the risk of others duplicating our proprietary technologies increases, despite efforts we undertake to protect them. Our inability to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights or claims that we are infringing intellectual property rights of others could adversely affect our business and our competitive position.



We are subject to business continuity risks associated with increasing centralization of our information technology (IT) systems.

To improve efficiency and reduce costs, we have regionally centralized the information systems that support our business processes such as invoicing, payroll, and general management operations. If the centralized systems are disrupted or disabled, key business processes could be interrupted, which could adversely affect our business.

A failure of or disruption in our information technology infrastructure, including a disruption related to cybersecurity, could adversely impact our business and operations.

We rely on the capacity, reliability and security of our IT systems and infrastructure. IT systems are vulnerable to disruptions, including those resulting from natural disasters, cyber attacks or failures in third-party-provided services. Disruptions and attacks on our IT systems pose a risk to the security of our systems and our ability to protect our networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information and data and that of third parties, including our employees. Some cyber attacks depend on human error or manipulation, including phishing attacks or schemes that use social engineering to gain access to systems or carry out disbursement of funds or other frauds, which raise the risks from such events and the costs associated with protecting against such attacks. Although we have implemented security policies, processes, and layers of defense designed to help identify and protect against intentional and unintentional misappropriation or corruption of our systems and information, and disruptions of our operations, we have been, and likely will continue to be, subjected to such attacks or disruptions. Future attacks or disruptions could potentially lead to the inappropriate disclosure of confidential information, including our intellectual property, improper use of our systems and networks, access to and manipulation and destruction of Company or third party data, production downtimes, lost revenues, inappropriate disbursement of funds and both internal and external supply shortages. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damage caused by such attacks or disruptions in the future. These consequences could cause significant damage to our reputation, affect our relationships with our customers and suppliers, lead to claims against the Company and ultimately adversely affect our business.

## Our business success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

Our ability to sustain and grow our business requires us to hire, retain and develop a highly skilled and diverse management team and workforce worldwide. In particular, any unplanned turnover or inability to attract and retain key employees and employees with technical and software capabilities in numbers sufficient for our needs could adversely affect our business.

## Our profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected by program launch difficulties.

The launch of new business is a complex process, the success of which depends on a wide range of factors, including the production readiness of our manufacturing facilities and manufacturing processes and those of our suppliers, as well as factors related to tooling, equipment, employees, initial product quality and other factors. Our failure to successfully launch new business, or our inability to accurately estimate the cost to design, develop and launch new business, could have an adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations.

To the extent we are not able to successfully launch new business, vehicle production at our customers could be significantly delayed or shut down. Such situations could result in significant financial penalties to us or a diversion of personnel and financial resources to improving launches rather than investment in continuous process improvement or other growth initiatives, and could result in our



customers shifting work away from us to a competitor, all of which could result in loss of revenue, or loss of market share and could have an adverse effect on our profitability and cash flows.

## Part of our workforce is unionized which could subject us to work stoppages.

As of December 31, 2020, approximately 12% of our U.S. workforce was unionized. We have a domestic collective bargaining agreement for one facility in New York, which expires in September 2024. The workforce at certain of our international facilities is also unionized. A prolonged dispute with our employees could have an adverse effect on our business.

## Work stoppages, production shutdowns and similar events could significantly disrupt our business.

Because the automotive industry relies heavily on just-in-time delivery of components during the assembly and manufacture of vehicles, a work stoppage or production shutdown at one or more of our manufacturing and assembly facilities could have adverse effects on our business. Similarly, if one or more of our customers were to experience a work stoppage or production shutdown, that customer would likely halt or limit purchases of our products, which could result in the shutdown of the related manufacturing facilities. A significant disruption in the supply of a key component due to a work stoppage or production shutdown at one of our suppliers or any other supplier could have the same consequences and, accordingly, have an adverse effect on our financial results.

## Changes in interest rates and asset returns could increase our pension funding obligations and reduce our profitability.

We have unfunded obligations under certain of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The valuation of our future payment obligations under the plans and the related plan assets is subject to significant adverse changes if the credit and capital markets cause interest rates and projected rates of return to decline. Such declines could also require us to make significant additional contributions to our pension plans in the future. Additionally, a material deterioration in the funded status of the plans could significantly increase our pension expenses and reduce profitability in the future.

We also sponsor post-employment medical benefit plans in the U.S. that are unfunded. If medical costs continue to increase or actuarial assumptions are modified, this could have an adverse effect on our business.

## We are subject to extensive environmental regulations.

Our operations are subject to laws governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharges to waters, and the generation, management, transportation and disposal of waste and other materials. The operation of automotive parts manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas, and we cannot assure that we will not incur material costs or liabilities as a result. Through various acquisitions over the years, we have acquired a number of manufacturing facilities, and we cannot assure that we will not incur material costs and liabilities relating to activities that predate our ownership. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required to comply with evolving interpretations of existing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or any new such laws and regulations (including concerns about global climate change and its impact) that may be adopted in the future. Costs associated with failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on our business.



## We have liabilities related to environmental, product warranties, litigation and other claims.

We and certain of our current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and equivalent state laws, and, as such, may be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at such sites. While responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at such sites is typically shared among potentially responsible parties based on an allocation formula, we could have greater liability under applicable statutes. Refer to Note 21, “Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in item 8 of this report for further discussion.

We provide product warranties to our customers for some of our products. Under these product warranties, we may be required to bear costs and expenses for the repair or replacement of these products. As suppliers become more integrally involved in the vehicle design process and assume more of the vehicle assembly functions, auto manufacturers are increasingly looking to their suppliers for contribution when faced with recalls and product warranty claims. A recall claim brought against us, or a product warranty claim brought against us, could adversely impact our results of operations. In addition, a recall claim could require us to review our entire product portfolio to assess whether similar issues are present in other product lines, which could result in significant disruption to our business and could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. We cannot assure that costs and expenses associated with these product warranties will not be material or that those costs will not exceed any amounts accrued for such product warranties in our financial statements.

We are currently, and may in the future become, subject to legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes. These claims typically arise in the normal course of business and may include, but not be limited to, commercial or contractual disputes with our customers and suppliers, intellectual property matters, personal injury, product liability, environmental and employment claims. There is a possibility that such claims may have an adverse impact on our business that is greater than we anticipate. While the Company maintains insurance for certain risks, the amount of insurance may not be adequate to cover all insured claims and liabilities. The incurring of significant liabilities for which there is no, or insufficient, insurance coverage could adversely affect our business.

## Compliance with and changes in laws could be costly and could affect operating results.

We have operations in multiple countries that can be impacted by expected and unexpected changes in the legal and business environments in which we operate. Compliance-related issues in certain countries associated with laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws could adversely affect our business. We have internal policies and procedures relating to compliance with such laws; however, there is a risk that such policies and procedures will not always protect us from the improper acts of employees, agents, business partners, joint venture partners, or representatives, particularly in the case of recently-acquired operations that may not have significant training in applicable compliance policies and procedures. Violations of these laws, which are complex, may result in criminal penalties, sanctions and/or fines that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and reputation.

Changes that could impact the legal environment include new legislation, new regulations, new policies, investigations and legal proceedings, and new interpretations of existing legal rules and regulations, in particular, changes in import and export control laws or exchange control laws, additional restrictions on doing business in countries subject to sanctions, and changes in laws in countries where we operate or intend to operate.



Changes in tax laws or tax rates taken by taxing authorities and tax audits could adversely affect our business.

Changes in tax laws or tax rates, the resolution of tax assessments or audits by various tax authorities, and the inability to fully utilize our tax loss carryforwards and tax credits could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, we may periodically restructure our legal entity organization.

If taxing authorities were to disagree with our tax positions in connection with any such restructurings, our effective tax rate could be materially affected. Our tax filings for various periods are subject to audit by the tax authorities in most jurisdictions where we conduct business. We have received tax assessments from various taxing authorities and are currently at varying stages of appeals and/or litigation regarding these matters. These audits may result in assessment of additional taxes that are resolved with the authorities or through the courts. We believe these assessments may occasionally be based on erroneous and even arbitrary interpretations of local tax law. Resolution of any tax matters involves uncertainties, and there are no assurances that the outcomes will be favorable.

## Our growth strategy may prove unsuccessful.

We have a stated goal of increasing sales and operating income at a rate greater than global vehicle production growth, if any, by increasing content per vehicle with innovative new components and through select acquisitions.

We may not meet our goal due to many factors, including any of the risks identified in the paragraph that follows, failure to develop new products that our customers will purchase, technology changes that could render our products obsolete, and a reversal of the trend of supplying systems (which allows us to increase content per vehicle) instead of components, among other things.

We expect to continue to pursue business ventures, acquisitions, and strategic alliances that leverage our technology capabilities, enhance our customer base, geographic representation, and scale to complement our current businesses, and we regularly evaluate potential growth opportunities, some of which could be material. While we believe that such transactions are an integral part of our long-term strategy, there are risks and uncertainties related to these activities. Assessing a potential growth opportunity involves extensive due diligence. However, the amount of information we can obtain about a potential growth opportunity can be limited, and we can give no assurance that past or future business ventures, acquisitions, and strategic alliances will positively affect our financial performance or will perform as planned. We may not be able to successfully assimilate or integrate companies that we have acquired or acquire in the future, including their personnel, financial systems, distribution, operations and general operating procedures. The integration of companies that we have acquired or will acquire in the future may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected. Revenues following the acquisition of a company may be lower than expected, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, or suppliers) may be greater than expected, and we may not be able to retain key employees at the acquired company. We may also encounter challenges in achieving appropriate internal control over financial reporting in connection with the integration of an acquired company. If we fail to assimilate or integrate acquired companies successfully, our business, reputation and operating results could be adversely affected. Likewise, our failure to integrate and manage acquired companies or realize certain synergies successfully may lead to future impairment of any associated goodwill and intangible asset balances. Failure to execute our growth strategy could adversely affect our business.



## We are subject to risks related to our international operations.

We have manufacturing and technical facilities in many regions including Europe, Asia, and the Americas. For 2020, approximately 80% of our consolidated net sales were outside the U.S. Consequently, our results could be affected by changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, trade restrictions or prohibitions, import or other charges or taxes, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, limitations on the repatriation of funds, changing economic conditions, unreliable intellectual property protection and legal systems, insufficient infrastructures, social unrest, political instability and disputes, international terrorism and other factors that may be discrete to a particular country or geography. Compliance with multiple and potentially conflicting laws and regulations of various countries is challenging, burdensome and expensive.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and an average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses and capital expenditures. The local currency is typically the functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Significant foreign currency fluctuations and the associated translation of those foreign currencies could adversely affect our business. Additionally, significant changes in currency exchange rates, particularly the Euro, Korean Won and Chinese Renminbi, could cause fluctuations in the reported results of our businesses' operations that could negatively affect our results of operations.

Because we are a U.S. holding company, one significant source of our funds is distributions from our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Certain countries in which we operate have adopted or could institute currency exchange controls that limit or prohibit our local subsidiaries' ability to convert local currency into U.S. dollars or to make payments outside the country. This could subject us to the risks of local currency devaluation and business disruption.

Our business in China is subject to aggressive competition and is sensitive to economic, political, and market conditions.

Maintaining a strong position in the Chinese market is a key component of our global growth strategy. The automotive supply market in China is highly competitive, with competition from many of the largest global manufacturers and numerous smaller domestic manufacturers. As the Chinese market evolves, we anticipate that market participants will act aggressively to increase or maintain their market share. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and our inability to gain or hold market share. In addition, our business in China is sensitive to economic, political, social and market conditions that drive sales volumes in China. Economic growth has slowed in China. If we are unable to maintain our position in the Chinese market or if vehicle sales in China decrease, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

A downgrade in the ratings of our debt could restrict our ability to access the debt capital markets.

Changes in the ratings that rating agencies assign to our debt may ultimately impact our access to the debt capital markets and the costs we incur to borrow funds. If ratings for our debt fall below investment grade, our access to the debt capital markets could become restricted and our cost of borrowing or the interest rate for any subsequently issued debt would likely increase.

Our revolving credit agreement includes an increase in interest rates if the ratings for our debt are downgraded. The interest costs on our revolving credit agreement are based on a rating grid agreed to in our credit agreement. Further, an increase in the level of our indebtedness and related interest costs may increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions and may affect our ability to obtain additional financing.



We could incur additional restructuring charges as we continue to execute actions in an effort to improve future profitability and competitiveness and to optimize our product portfolio and may not achieve the anticipated savings and benefits from these actions.

We have initiated and may continue to initiate restructuring actions designed to improve the competitiveness of our business and sustain our margin profile, optimize our product portfolio or create an optimal legal entity structure. We may not realize anticipated savings or benefits from past or future actions in full or in part or within the time periods we expect. We are also subject to the risks of labor unrest, negative publicity and business disruption in connection with our actions. Failure to realize anticipated savings or benefits from our actions could have an adverse effect on our business.

## Risks related to our customers

## We rely on sales to major customers.

We rely on sales to OEMs around the world of varying credit quality and manufacturing demands. Supply to several of these customers requires significant investment by the Company. We base our growth projections, in part, on commitments made by our customers. These commitments generally renew yearly during a program life cycle. Among other things, the level of production orders we receive is dependent on the ability of our OEM customers to design and sell products that consumers desire to purchase. If actual production orders from our customers do not approximate such commitments due to a variety of factors including non-renewal of purchase orders, a customer's financial hardship or other unforeseen reasons, it could adversely affect our business.

Some of our sales are concentrated. Our worldwide sales in 2020 to Ford and Volkswagen constituted approximately 13% and 11% of our 2020 consolidated net sales, respectively.

## We are sensitive to the effects of our major customers' labor relations.

All three of our primary North American customers, Ford, Stellantis, and General Motors, have major union contracts with the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. Because of domestic OEMs' dependence on a single union, we are affected by labor difficulties and work stoppages at OEMs' facilities. Similarly, a majority of our global customers' operations outside of North America are also represented by various unions. Any extended work stoppage at one or more of our customers could have an adverse effect on our business.

## Risks related to our suppliers

## We could be adversely affected by supply shortages of components from our suppliers.

In an effort to manage and reduce the cost of purchased goods and services, we have been rationalizing our supply base. As a result, we are dependent on fewer sources of supply for certain components used in the manufacture of our products. We select suppliers based on total value (including total landed price, quality, delivery, and technology), taking into consideration their production capacities and financial condition. We expect that they will deliver to our stated written expectations.

However, there can be no assurance that capacity limitations, industry shortages, labor or social unrest, weather emergencies, commercial disputes, government actions, riots, wars, sabotage, cyber attacks, non-conforming parts, acts of terrorism, “Acts of God,” or other problems that our suppliers experience will not result in occasional shortages or delays in their supply of components to us. If we were to experience a significant or prolonged shortage of critical components from any of our suppliers and could not procure the components from other sources, we would be unable to meet the production schedules for some of our key products and could miss customer delivery expectations. In addition, with



fewer sources of supply for certain components, each supplier may perceive that it has greater leverage and, therefore, some ability to seek higher prices from us at a time that we face substantial pressure from OEMs to reduce the prices of our products. This could adversely affect our customer relations and business.

Suppliers’ economic distress could result in the disruption of our operations and could adversely affect our business.

Rapidly changing industry conditions such as volatile production volumes; our need to seek price reductions from our suppliers as a result of the substantial pressure we face from OEMs to reduce the prices of our products; credit tightness; changes in foreign currencies; raw material, commodity, tariffs, transportation, and energy price escalation; drastic changes in consumer preferences; and other factors could adversely affect our supply chain, and sometimes with little advance notice. These conditions could also result in increased commercial disputes and supply interruption risks. In certain instances, it would be difficult and expensive for us to change suppliers that are critical to our business. On occasion, we must provide financial support to distressed suppliers or take other measures to protect our supply lines. We cannot predict with certainty the potential adverse effects these costs might have on our business.

## We are subject to possible insolvency of financial counterparties.

We engage in numerous financial transactions and contracts including insurance policies, letters of credit, credit line agreements, financial derivatives, and investment management agreements involving various counterparties. We are subject to the risk that one or more of these counterparties may become insolvent and therefore be unable to meet its obligations under such contracts.

## Other risks

## A variety of other factors could adversely affect our business.

Any of the following could materially and adversely affect our business: the loss of or changes in supply contracts or sourcing strategies of our major customers or suppliers; start-up expenses associated with new vehicle programs or delays or cancellation of such programs; low levels of utilization of our manufacturing facilities, which can be dependent on a single product line or customer; inability to recover engineering and tooling costs; market and financial consequences of recalls that may be required on products we supplied; delays or difficulties in new product development; the possible introduction of similar or superior technologies by others; global excess capacity and vehicle platform proliferation; and the impact of fire, flood, or other natural disasters including pandemics and quarantines.

## Purchase of Equity Securities

In January 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $1 billion of the Company's common stock, which replaced the previous share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has repurchased $216 million of common stock under this repurchase program. Shares purchased under this authorization may be repurchased in the open market at prevailing prices and at times and in amounts to be determined by management as market conditions and the Company's capital position warrant. The Company may use Rule 10b5-1 and 10b-18 plans to facilitate share repurchases. Repurchased shares will be deemed common stock held in treasury and may subsequently be reissued.

Employee transactions include restricted stock withheld to offset statutory minimum tax withholding that occurs upon vesting of restricted stock.

## Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

## INTRODUCTION

BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the "Company") is a global product leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles. Our products help improve vehicle performance, propulsion efficiency, stability and air quality. These products are manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of light vehicles (passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles ("SUVs"), vans and light trucks). The Company's products are also sold to other OEMs of commercial vehicles (medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks and buses) and off-highway vehicles (agricultural and construction machinery and marine applications). We also manufacture and sell our products to certain Tier One vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket for light, commercial and off-highway vehicles. The Company operates manufacturing facilities serving customers in Europe, the Americas and Asia and is an original equipment supplier to nearly every major automotive OEM in the world.

## Acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC

On October 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Delphi Technologies PLC (“Delphi Technologies”) from the shareholders of Delphi Technologies pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, dated January 28, 2020, as amended on May 6, 2020, by and between the Company and Delphi Technologies (the “Transaction Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Company issued, in exchange for each Delphi Technologies share, 0.4307 of a share of common stock of the Company and cash in lieu of any fractional share. In the aggregate, the Company delivered consideration of approximately $2.4 billion, including approximately 37 million shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $1.5 billion, repayment of approximately $900 million of Delphi Technologies’ debt and stock-based compensation of approximately $15 million. Upon closing, the Company also assumed approximately $800 million in senior notes as discussed below. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company’s electronics and power electronics products, capabilities and scale, position the Company for greater growth as electrified propulsion systems gain momentum and enhance key combustion, commercial vehicle and aftermarket product offerings.

On October 5, 2020, the Company completed its offer to exchange approximately $800 million in aggregate principal amount of Delphi Technologies' outstanding 5.000% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "DT Notes"). Approximately $776 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding DT Notes, representing 97% of the $800 million total outstanding principal amount of the DT Notes, were validly exchanged and cancelled for new BorgWarner notes. Following such cancellation, approximately $24 million in aggregate principal amount of the DT Notes remain outstanding. Since the majority of the DT Notes were exchanged, the Company was able to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and events of default not related to payment on the $800 million in outstanding senior notes of the Company.



Following the Delphi Technologies acquisition, to align with the manner in which the business is viewed and managed subsequent to the acquisition, the Company reorganized its management reporting structure. Previously, the Company reported its results under two reporting segments, Engine and Drivetrain, which are now referred to as Air Management and e-Propulsion & Drivetrain, respectively. The former Delphi Technologies Powertrain Products segment was integrated into the Air Management segment and the former Delphi Technologies Electronics & Electrification segment was integrated into the e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment. The remaining Delphi Technologies segments comprise two additional reporting segments, which are referred to as Fuel Injection and Aftermarket.

Results of operations for Delphi Technologies are included in the Company’s financial information following the date of acquisition on October 1, 2020.

## COVID-19 Pandemic Update

To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and has resulted, at times, in travel restrictions, closing of borders and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. Many OEMs temporarily suspended certain manufacturing operations, particularly in North America and Europe, due to market conditions and matters associated with COVID-19. Furthermore, COVID-19 has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which adversely impact the access to capital and increase the cost of capital.

In response to the outbreak and business disruption, we, first and foremost, prioritized the health and safety of our employees. As a global manufacturer, we have responded to shelter-in-place and similar government orders in various locations around the world, including throughout the United States and Europe. Additionally, our employees must respond to self-isolation and quarantine orders based on circumstances in their local communities, which continues to impact our facilities. The reopening procedures related to COVID-19 led to a number of employee safety measures upon reopening to contain the spread, including domestic and international travel restrictions, work-from-home practices, extensive cleaning protocols, social distancing guidelines, requirement for employees to wear masks and various temporary closures of or reduced operations at our manufacturing and assembly facilities.

In April 2020, we implemented a range of actions aimed at temporarily reducing costs and preserving liquidity. These actions included, but were not limited to:

• a temporary 20% reduction in base salaries of our senior executive leadership team and annual retainers of our non-employee directors;

• up to 10% temporary base pay reductions for other salaried employees; and

• reductions in discretionary spending, such as outside professional services and travel.

Effective September 1, 2020, all of the base pay and annual retainer reductions had been eliminated.

We continue to monitor the evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. To date, COVID-19 has had a material adverse impact on our revenue and overall profitability, primarily in the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Significant reductions in automotive or truck production have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s sales to OEMs. While production levels increased in the third and fourth quarters and revenue and profitability improved, COVID-19 continues to impact our business globally, and it is possible



COVID-19 could result in adverse impacts in the future. We cannot reasonably estimate the full impacts COVID-19 could have on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future.

As of December 31, 2020, we had liquidity of $3,650 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalent balances of $1,650 million and an undrawn revolving credit facility of $2,000 million. We were in full compliance with our covenants under the revolving credit facility and had full access to our undrawn revolving credit facility. Debt maturities through the end of 2021 total $45 million. Given our strong liquidity position, we believe that the Company will have sufficient liquidity and will maintain compliance with all covenants throughout the next 12 months.

## RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A detailed comparison of the Company’s 2018 operating results to its 2019 operating results can be found in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 13, 2020.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $10,165 million, approximately the same as net sales for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Delphi Technologies acquisition increased revenues by $1,120 million. Excluding this revenue, total net sales declined by 11% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the impact of weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, and the net impact of the Delphi Technologies acquisition, net sales decreased approximately 11%, primarily due to COVID-19 related production slowdowns and shutdowns during the first six months of 2020, partially offset by stronger sales in China.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 81.2% and 79.3% in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cost of sales associated with Delphi Technologies for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $900 million. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, cost of sales decreased primarily due to lower sales. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 57% and 55% of net sales in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 18.8% and 20.7% in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The reduction of gross margin in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company took numerous steps to eliminate costs; however, certain fixed costs could not be reduced on a temporary basis, which led to a higher cost of sales as a percentage of sales as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, the $27 million related to the fair value adjustment of inventories acquired had an unfavorable impact on gross margin and, to a lesser extent, certain lower margin business related to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $951 million and $873 million, or 9.4% and 8.6% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. SG&A increased as a result of the three months of activity related to Delphi Technologies following the acquisition on October 1, 2020. The increase related to Delphi Technologies was partially offset by savings and actions taken during the year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Research and development (“R&D”) costs, net of customer reimbursements, were $476 million, or 4.7% of net sales, in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $413 million, or 4.1% of net sales, in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase of R&D costs, net of customer reimbursements, in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, which increased R&D costs by $66 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020. We will continue to invest in a number of cross-business R&D programs, as well as a number of other key programs, all of which are necessary for short- and long-term growth. Our current long-term expectation for R&D spending is in the range of 5.0% to 5.5% of net sales.

Restructuring expense was $203 million and $72 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily related to employee benefit costs. The increase in 2020 was primarily due to increased costs related to the announced closure of two facilities in Europe affecting approximately 550 employees and contractually required severance and stock-based compensation associated with the Delphi Technologies acquisition.

In February 2020, the Company announced a cost restructuring plan to address existing structural costs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $148 million of restructuring expense related to this plan. These actions are expected to result in a total of $300 million of restructuring costs through 2022. The resulting annual gross savings is expected to be $90 million to $100 million and will be utilized to sustain overall operating margin profile and cost competitiveness. Nearly all of the restructuring charges are expected to be cash expenditures.

In April 2019, the Company announced a cost restructuring plan including several actions to reduce existing structural costs. These actions were primarily completed during fourth quarter 2019 and resulted



in approximately $50 million of restructuring expense. The resulting annual gross cost reduction is expected to be in the range of $40 million to $50 million by 2021.

The Company recorded approximately $54 million in restructuring during the three months ended December 31, 2020, related to legacy Delphi Technologies. In conjunction with the acquisition, there were contractually required severance and post-combination stock-based compensation cash payments to legacy Delphi Technologies executive officers and other employee termination benefits. Additionally, in 2019, legacy Delphi Technologies announced a restructuring plan to reshape and realign its global technical center footprint and reduce salaried and contract staff, with expected charges of up to $175 million. Certain of these actions are subject to consultation with employee works councils and other employee representatives. The majority of these actions are expected to be completed by the end of 2021. Nearly all of the restructuring charges are expected to be cash expenditures.

Other operating expense (income), net - other represents items other than restructuring expense and was expense of $138 million and income of $147 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In this line item for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is merger, acquisition and divestiture expense of $96 million and $11 million, respectively. The increase in 2020 was primarily related to professional fees associated with the acquisition of Delphi Technologies completed on October 1, 2020.

As a result of an evaluation of the underlying technologies and management of the business subsequent to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, the Company reduced the useful life of certain intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2020 as they no longer provided future economic benefit. This resulted in accelerated amortization expense of $38 million recorded within this line item.

In addition, the year ended December 31, 2019 included a pre-tax gain of $177 million related to the derecognition of BorgWarner Morse TEC LLC (“Morse TEC”), which was a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that held asbestos and certain other liabilities and was the policyholder of the related insurance assets. Also related to this matter, the Company recorded tax expense as a result of the reversal of the previously recorded deferred tax assets related to the asbestos liabilities of $173 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $4 million. Refer to Note 21, “Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for more information.

This line item is primarily comprised of operating expense (income) items discussed within the subtitle “Non-comparable items impacting the Company’s earnings per diluted share and net earnings” below.

Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax was $18 million and $32 million in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This line item is driven by the results of our unconsolidated joint ventures, NSK-Warner K.K., Turbo Energy Private Limited (“TEL”) and Delphi-TVS Diesel Systems Ltd. The decrease in equity in affiliates’ earnings in the year ended December 31, 2020 was due to lower industry volumes and cost pressures in a reduced market.

Unrealized gain on equity securities was $382 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. This line item reflects the net unrealized gain recognized during 2020 related to the Company’s equity securities in Romeo Systems, Inc. (now known as Romeo Power, Inc.) which became a public company in December 2020. For further details, see Note 2, “Acquisitions,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.

Interest expense was $73 million and $55 million in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to the Company’s issuance of $1.1 billion senior notes in June 2020 and the $800 million DT Notes acquired as part of the Delphi Technologies acquisition.



Provision for income taxes the provision for income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate of 41.2% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with the rate of 37.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019. For further details, see Note 7, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.

The effective tax rate was approximately 41% for the year ended December 31, 2020. Unfavorably impacting the effective tax rate in 2020 was income tax expense related to final U.S. Department of Treasury regulations issued in the third quarter of 2020, that impacted the net tax on remittance of foreign earnings and certain tax law changes in India effective in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, we recognized incremental valuation allowances of $53 million in 2020. Also unfavorably impacting the effective tax rate were certain restructuring expenses and merger and acquisition related transaction costs that were non-deductible for tax purposes. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items, the Company’s annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations was 32% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The effective tax rate was approximately 37% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The effective tax rate for 2019 included an increase in income tax expense of $173 million related to the derecognition of the Morse TEC asbestos-related deferred tax assets and $22 million due to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s issuance of the final regulations in the first quarter of 2019 related to the calculation of the one-time transition tax. The 2019 effective tax rate also included reductions of income tax expense of $19 million related to restructuring expense, $11 million for a global realignment plan, $8 million related to other one-time adjustments and $6 million related to pension settlement loss. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items, the Company’s annual effective tax rate was 26% for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, net of tax of $67 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $16 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was due to growth in sales in China, resulting in increased profit in joint ventures and the addition of noncontrolling interests from the Delphi Technologies acquisition.



## Non-comparable items impacting the Company's earnings per diluted share and net earnings

The Company’s earnings per diluted share were $2.34 and $3.61 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The non-comparable items presented below are calculated after tax using the corresponding effective tax rate and the weighted average number of diluted shares for each of the years then ended. The Company believes the following table is useful in highlighting non-comparable items that impacted its earnings per diluted share:

## Results By Reporting Segment

The Company's business is comprised of four reporting segments: Air Management, e-Propulsion & Drivetrain, Fuel Injection and Aftermarket.

The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital ("ROIC") of its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Segment Adjusted EBIT after deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required. Segment Adjusted EBIT is comprised of earnings before interest, income taxes and noncontrolling interest ("EBIT") adjusted for restructuring, goodwill impairment charges, affiliates' earnings and other items not reflective of ongoing operating income or loss. Segment Adjusted EBIT excludes certain corporate costs which primarily represents headquarters' expenses not directly attributable to the individual segments. Corporate expenses not allocated to Segment Adjusted EBIT were $192 million and $206 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. An increase in corporate expenses related to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies in 2020 was more than offset by savings and actions taken during the year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including decreased compensation expense, resulting in a decrease compared to 2019.

Segment Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. The Company believes Segment Adjusted EBIT is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our reporting segments. The following table shows Segment Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments.

Segment Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes and Noncontrolling Interest (“Segment Adjusted EBIT”)

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="4">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>% margin</td><td>2019</td><td>% margin</td></tr><tr><td>Air Management</td><td>$     762</td><td>13.4 %</td><td>$     995</td><td>16.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>e-Propulsion &amp; Drivetrain</td><td>359</td><td>9.0 %</td><td>443</td><td>11.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>Fuel Injection</td><td>39</td><td>8.1 %</td><td>—</td><td>n/a</td></tr><tr><td>Aftermarket</td><td>22</td><td>11.3 %</td><td>—</td><td>n/a</td></tr><tr><td>Segment Adjusted EBIT</td><td>$     1,182</td><td></td><td>$     1,438</td><td></td></tr></table>

The Air Management segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased $536 million, or 8.6%, and Segment Adjusted EBIT decreased $233 million, or 23.4%, from the year ended December 31, 2019. The Delphi Technologies acquisition increased Air Management revenues by $312 million in 2020. Excluding the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures and of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales decreased 13.5% from the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in sales was due to COVID-19 related production slowdowns and shutdowns during the first six months of 2020, partially offset by growing demand for the Company’s products. The Segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 13.4% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 16.0% in the year ended December 31, 2019. The Segment Adjusted EBIT margin decrease was primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of increased warranty costs.

The e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased $26 million, or 0.6%, and Segment Adjusted EBIT decreased $84 million, or 19.0%, from the year ended December 31, 2019. The Delphi Technologies acquisition increased e-Propulsion & Drivetrain revenues by $255 million in 2020. Excluding the net impact of the acquisition and of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales decreased 7.2% from the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in sales was due to COVID-19 related production slowdowns and shutdowns during the first six months of 2020, which was partially offset by growing demand for the Company’s products and stronger



sales in China. The Segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 9.0% in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 11.0% in the year ended December 31, 2019. The Segment Adjusted EBIT margin decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower net sales, higher research and development spending and to a lesser extent the impact of the Delphi Technologies acquisition, during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The Fuel Injection segment's net sales and Segment Adjusted EBIT for the three months December 31, 2020 were $479 million and $39 million, respectively. The Segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 8.1% in the three months ended December 31, 2020. This is a new reporting segment following the acquisition of Delphi Technologies on October 1, 2020.

The Aftermarket segment's net sales and Segment Adjusted EBIT for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $194 million and $22 million, respectively. The Segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 11.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2020. This is a new reporting segment following the acquisition of Delphi Technologies on October 1, 2020.

## Outlook

Our overall outlook for 2021 is positive. The Company expects global industry production to increase year over year due to the negative effects of COVID-19 on 2020 production not recurring in 2021. The Company expects net new business-related sales growth, due to increased penetration of BorgWarner products around the world, to drive a sales increase in line with or greater than the year-over-year increase in industry production. As a result, the Company expects increasing revenue in 2021, excluding the impact of foreign currencies and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures. The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its global business and is committed to new product development and strategic capital investments to enhance its product leadership strategy.

There are several trends that are driving the Company's long-term growth that we expect to continue, including adoption of product offerings for electrified vehicles, increasingly stringent global emissions standards that support demand for the Company's products driving vehicle efficiency and increased global penetration of all-wheel drive.

## LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintains various liquidity sources including cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of our multi-currency revolving credit agreement. At December 31, 2020, the Company had $1,650 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $1,088 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Cash and cash equivalents held by these subsidiaries is used to fund foreign operational activities and future investments, including acquisitions.

The vast majority of cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States is available for repatriation. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent and required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred. As of January 1, 2018, funds repatriated from foreign subsidiaries are generally no longer taxable for U.S. federal tax purposes. In light of the treatment of foreign earnings under the Tax Act, the Company recorded a liability for the U.S. federal and applicable state income tax liabilities calculated under the provisions of the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. A deferred tax liability has been recorded for substantially all estimated legally distributable foreign earnings. The Company uses its U.S. liquidity primarily for various corporate purposes, including but not limited to debt service, share repurchases, dividend distributions, acquisitions and divestitures and other corporate expenses.

On March 13, 2020, the Company amended its multi-currency revolving credit facility, by increasing the size of the facility from $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion and by extending the maturity until March 13, 2025.



The multi-currency revolving credit agreement automatically increased to $2.0 billion upon the closing of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies on October 1, 2020. Additionally, the agreement allows the Company the ability to increase the facility by $1.0 billion with bank group approval. The credit agreement contains customary events of default and one key financial covenant, which is a debt-to-EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenant at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

The Company's commercial paper program allows the Company to issue $2.0 billion of short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes under the limits of its multi-currency revolving credit facility. The commercial paper program automatically increased to $2.0 billion upon the closing of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies on October 1, 2020. Under this program, the Company may issue notes from time to time and use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this program as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The total current combined borrowing capacity under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program cannot exceed $2.0 billion.

In addition to the credit facility, the Company's universal shelf registration provides the ability to issue various debt and equity instruments subject to market conditions.

On February 12, 2020, April 29, 2020, July 29, 2020 and November 11, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.17 per share of common stock. These dividends were paid on March 16, 2020, June 15, 2020, September 15, 2020 and December 15, 2020, respectively.

From a credit quality perspective, the Company had a credit rating of BBB+ from both Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings and Baa1 from Moody's as of December 31, 2019, with a stable outlook from all rating agencies. On January 28, 2020, the Company entered into the agreement to acquire Delphi Technologies. During 2020, due to the recent business disruptions from COVID-19 and uncertainties surrounding the Delphi Technologies acquisition, Standard & Poor's downgraded the Company's rating from BBB+ with a stable outlook to BBB with a negative outlook. Additionally, Moody's and Fitch adjusted their outlooks from stable to negative but have maintained the Company's credit ratings at Baa1 and BBB+, respectively. None of the Company's debt agreements require accelerated repayment in the event of a downgrade in credit ratings.

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>OPERATING</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net earnings</td><td>$     567</td><td>$     797</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash flows from operations:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Non-cash charges (credits) to operations:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Depreciation and amortization</td><td>568</td><td>439</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Restructuring expense, net of cash paid</td><td>135</td><td>30</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Stock-based compensation expense</td><td>41</td><td>42</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Asset impairment and loss on divestiture</td><td>17</td><td>7</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Pension settlement loss</td><td>4</td><td>27</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Unrealized gain on equity securities</td><td>(382)</td><td>—</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Deferred income tax provision</td><td>123</td><td>186</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Gain on insurance recovery received for property damages</td><td>(9)</td><td>—</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Tax reform adjustments to provision for income taxes</td><td>—</td><td>16</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Pre-tax gain on derecognition of subsidiary</td><td>—</td><td>(177)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Other non-cash adjustments</td><td>(17)</td><td>—</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net earnings adjusted for non-cash charges to operations</td><td>1,047</td><td>1,367</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Retirement plan contributions</td><td>(182)</td><td>(38)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Derecognition of a subsidiary</td><td>—</td><td>(172)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Changes in assets and liabilities</td><td>319</td><td>(149)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net cash provided by operating activities</td><td>$     1,184</td><td>$     1,008</td><td></td></tr></table>

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,184 million and $1,008 million in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to 2019 cash outflows related to the 2019 derecognition of Morse TEC, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, that held asbestos and certain other liabilities, which included a contribution by the Company to Morse TEC of approximately $172 million. During 2020, there were lower net investments in working capital (excluding working capital acquired in the Delphi Technologies acquisition), partially offset by incremental retirement benefit plan contributions made in December 2020 to the Delphi Technologies Pension Scheme in the United Kingdom, which is discussed further below.



## Investing Activities

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="2">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td></tr><tr><td>INVESTING</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Capital expenditures, including tooling outlays</td><td>$ (441)</td><td>$ (481)</td></tr><tr><td>Insurance proceeds received for damage to property, plant and equipment</td><td>20</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Capital expenditures for damage to property, plant and equipment</td><td>(20)</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Payments for investments in equity securities</td><td>(2)</td><td>(53)</td></tr><tr><td>Payments for businesses acquired, net of cash acquired</td><td>(449)</td><td>(10)</td></tr><tr><td>Proceeds from sale of businesses, net of cash divested</td><td>—</td><td>24</td></tr><tr><td>Proceeds from settlement of net investment hedges, net</td><td>10</td><td>22</td></tr><tr><td>Proceeds from asset disposals and other, net</td><td>16</td><td>9</td></tr><tr><td>Net cash used in investing activities</td><td>$ (866)</td><td>$ (489)</td></tr></table>

Net cash used in investing activities was $866 million and $489 million in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to cash outflows related to the 2020 acquisition of Delphi Technologies. Capital expenditures, including tooling outlays, were $40 million lower in 2020 primarily due to lower overall spending as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by capital expenditures in the Company’s fourth quarter from the acquisition of Delphi Technologies.

## Financing Activities

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="2">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td></tr><tr><td>FINANCING</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net increase in notes payable</td><td>$ 8</td><td>$ —</td></tr><tr><td>Additions to debt</td><td>1,178</td><td>63</td></tr><tr><td>Repayments of debt, including current portion</td><td>(331)</td><td>(204)</td></tr><tr><td>Payments for debt issuance cost</td><td>(10)</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Payments for purchase of treasury stock</td><td>(216)</td><td>(100)</td></tr><tr><td>Payments for stock-based compensation items</td><td>(13)</td><td>(15)</td></tr><tr><td>Capital contribution from noncontrolling interest</td><td>4</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>Dividends paid to BorgWarner stockholders</td><td>(146)</td><td>(140)</td></tr><tr><td>Dividends paid to noncontrolling stockholders</td><td>(37)</td><td>(28)</td></tr><tr><td>Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities</td><td>$ 437</td><td>$ (420)</td></tr></table>

Net cash provided by financing activities was $437 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 and net cash used in financing activities was $420 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily driven by the Company’s issuance of $1.1 billion in 2.650% senior notes, partially offset by the repayment of the $250 million in 4.625% senior notes and higher share repurchases.



## Contractual Obligations

The Company's significant contractual obligations at December 31, 2020 are as follows:

<table><tr><td>(in millions)</td><td>Total</td><td>2021</td><td>2022-2023</td><td>2024-2025</td><td>After 2025</td></tr><tr><td>Other postretirement employee benefits, excluding pensions (a)</td><td>$ 53</td><td>$ 8</td><td>$ 15</td><td>$ 11</td><td>$ 19</td></tr><tr><td>Defined benefit pension plans (b)</td><td>102</td><td>6</td><td>17</td><td>19</td><td>60</td></tr><tr><td>Notes payable and long-term debt</td><td>3,698</td><td>49</td><td>618</td><td>1,305</td><td>1,726</td></tr><tr><td>Projected interest payments</td><td>1,066</td><td>128</td><td>243</td><td>211</td><td>484</td></tr><tr><td>Non-cancelable leases</td><td>254</td><td>53</td><td>73</td><td>49</td><td>79</td></tr><tr><td>Capital spending obligations</td><td>182</td><td>182</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$ 5,355</td><td>$ 426</td><td>$ 966</td><td>$ 1,595</td><td>$ 2,368</td></tr></table>

(a) Other postretirement employee benefits, excluding pensions, include anticipated future payments to cover retiree medical and life insurance benefits. Amount contained in “More than 5 years” column includes estimated payments through 2030. Refer to Note 18, “Retirement Benefit Plans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for disclosures related to the Company’s other postretirement employee benefits.

(b) Since the timing and amount of payments for funded defined benefit pension plans are usually not certain for future years such potential payments are not shown in this table. Amount contained in “More than 5 years” column is for unfunded plans and includes estimated payments through 2030. Refer to Note 18, “Retirement Benefit Plans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for disclosures related to the Company’s pension benefits.

We believe that the combination of cash from operations, cash balances, available credit facilities, and the universal shelf registration capacity will be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs for our current level of operations and our planned operations for the foreseeable future. We will continue to balance our needs for internal growth, external growth, debt reduction and cash conservation.

## Pension and Other Postretirement Employee Benefits

The Company’s policy is to fund its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with applicable government regulations and to make additional contributions when appropriate. At December 31, 2020, all legal funding requirements had been met. The Company contributed $174 million, $26 million and $26 million to its defined benefit pension plans in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. On October 1, 2020, as a result of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, the Company assumed all of the retirement-related liabilities of Delphi Technologies, the most significant of which is the Delphi Technologies Pension Scheme (the “Scheme”) in the United Kingdom. On December 12, 2020, the Company entered into a Heads of Terms Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trustees of the Scheme related to the future funding of the Scheme. Under the Agreement, the Company eliminated the prior schedule of contributions between Delphi Technologies and the Scheme in exchange for a $137 million (€100 million) one-time contribution into the Scheme Plan by December 31, 2020, which was paid on December 15, 2020. The Agreement also contained other provisions regarding the implementation of a revised asset investment strategy as well as a funding progress test that will be performed every three years to determine if additional contributions need to be made into the Scheme by the Company. At this time, the Company anticipates that no additional contributions will be made into the Scheme until 2026 at the earliest.

The Company expects to contribute a total of $20 million to $30 million into its defined benefit pension plans during 2021. Of the $20 million to $30 million in projected 2021 contributions, $6 million are contractually obligated, while any remaining payments would be discretionary.

The funded status of all pension plans was a net unfunded position of $501 million and $212 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Of these amounts, $139 million and $107 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were related to plans in Germany, where there is no tax deduction allowed under the applicable regulations to fund the plans; hence, the common practice is to



make contributions as benefit payments become due. Additionally, $186 million of the net unfunded position at December 31, 2020 relates to the acquired Delphi Technologies Pension Scheme in the United Kingdom, which includes the $137 million contribution as discussed above.

Other postretirement employee benefits primarily consist of postretirement health care benefits for certain employees and retirees of the Company’s U.S. operations. The Company funds these benefits as retiree claims are incurred. Other postretirement employee benefits had an unfunded status of $65 million and $81 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company believes it will be able to fund the requirements of these plans through cash generated from operations or other available sources of financing for the foreseeable future.

Refer to Note 18, “Retirement Benefit Plans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for more information regarding costs and assumptions for employee retirement benefits.

## OTHER MATTERS

## Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company's management does not expect that an adverse outcome in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows, although it could be material to the results of operations in a particular quarter.

## Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 26 such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

Refer to Note 21, “Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for further details and information respecting the Company’s environmental liability.

## CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In preparing these financial statements, management



has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Some of these policies require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management makes estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our most critical accounting policies are discussed below.

Business combinations The Company allocates the cost of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess value of the cost of an acquired business over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities will impact the determination of future operating results. The Company uses a variety of information sources to determine the value of acquired assets and liabilities including: third-party appraisers for the values and lives of property, identifiable intangibles and inventories; and actuaries for defined benefit retirement plans. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units as of the date of the related acquisition. If goodwill is assigned to more than one reporting unit, the Company utilizes a method that is consistent with the manner in which the amount of goodwill in a business combination is determined. Costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred.

The Company estimates the fair value of acquired customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method. Value is estimated as the present value of the benefits anticipated from ownership of the asset, in excess of the returns required on the investment in contributory assets which are necessary to realize those benefits. The intangible asset's estimated earnings are determined as the residual earnings after quantifying estimated earnings from contributory assets. Assumptions used in these calculations are considered from a market participant perspective and include revenue growth rates, estimated earnings, contributory asset charges, customer attrition and discount rates.

The Company estimates the fair value of trade names and developed technology using the relief from royalty method, which calculates the cost savings associated with owning rather than licensing the assets. Assumed royalty rates are applied to projected revenue for the remaining useful lives of the assets to estimate the royalty savings. Assumptions in the determination of the fair value of the developed technology included revenue growth rates, royalty rates, obsolescence factors and discount rates. Assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the trade name included the revenue growth rates, the royalty rate and discount rate.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions, fair value estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Any adjustments required after the measurement period are recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings.

Future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates that are used in our acquisition valuations and intangible asset and goodwill impairment testing, including discount rates or future operating results and related cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values in the future. An increase in discount rates, a reduction in projected cash flows or a combination of the two could lead to a reduction in the estimated fair values, which may result in impairment charges that could materially affect our financial statements in any given year.

Impairment of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, whether held for use or disposal, including other amortizing intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review under ASC Topic



360. In assessing long-lived assets for an impairment loss, assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, management generally considers individual facilities the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent. A recoverability review is performed using the undiscounted cash flows if there is a triggering event. If the undiscounted cash flow test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, management will perform a fair value analysis. Management determines fair value under ASC Topic 820 using the appropriate valuation technique of market, income or cost approach. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Management believes that the estimates of future cash flows and fair value assumptions are reasonable; however, changes in assumptions underlying these estimates could affect the valuations. Significant judgments and estimates used by management when evaluating long-lived assets for impairment include: (i) an assessment as to whether an adverse event or circumstance has triggered the need for an impairment review; (ii) undiscounted future cash flows generated by the asset; and (iii) fair valuation of the asset. Events and conditions that could result in impairment in the value of our long-lived assets include changes in the industries in which we operate, particularly the impact of a downturn in the global economy, as well as competition and advances in technology, adverse changes in the regulatory environment, or other factors leading to reduction in expected long-term sales or profitability.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company qualitatively assesses its goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units. This qualitative assessment evaluates various events and circumstances, such as macro-economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and financial trends, that may impact a reporting unit's fair value. Using this qualitative assessment, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds its carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more-likely-than-not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds the carrying value, or upon consideration of other factors, including recent acquisition, restructuring or divestiture activity or to refresh the fair values, the Company performs a quantitative, "step one," goodwill impairment analysis. In addition, the Company may test goodwill in between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Similar to goodwill, the Company can elect to perform the impairment test for indefinite-lived intangibles other than goodwill (primarily trade names) using a qualitative analysis, considering similar factors as outlined in the goodwill discussion in order to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the trade names is less than the respective carrying values. If the Company elects to perform or is required to perform a quantitative analysis, the test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to the carrying value of the asset as of the impairment testing date. The Company estimates the fair value of indefinite-lived intangibles using the relief-from-royalty method, which it believes is an appropriate and widely used valuation technique for such assets. The fair value derived from the relief-from-royalty method is measured as the discounted cash flow savings realized from owning such trade names and not being required to pay a royalty for their use.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company performed an analysis on each reporting unit. Following the acquisition of Delphi Technologies and the resulting reorganization of the business, the Company elected to perform quantitative, “step one,” goodwill impairment analyses for certain reporting units to refresh their respective fair values. This requires the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates and growth rates. The basis of this goodwill impairment analysis is the Company’s annual budget and long-range plan (“LRP”). The annual budget and LRP includes a five-year projection of future cash flows based on actual new products and customer commitments. Because the projections are estimated over a significant future period of time, those estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainty. Further, the market valuation



models and other financial ratios used by the Company require certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of those models to the Company’s facts and circumstances.

The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair value are reasonable. Different assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s 2020 goodwill quantitative, “step one,” impairment review are as follows:

- Discount rate: the Company used a 11.7% weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as the discount rate for future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that would be expected by a market participant.

• Operating income margin: the Company used historical and expected operating income margins, which may vary based on the projections of the reporting unit being evaluated.

• Revenue growth rate: the Company used a global automotive market industry growth rate forecast adjusted to estimate its own market participation for product lines.

In addition to the above primary assumptions, the Company notes the following risks to volume and operating income assumptions that could have an impact on the discounted cash flow models:

- The automotive industry is cyclical, and the Company’s results of operations would be adversely affected by industry downturns.

- The Company is dependent on market segments that use our key products and would be affected by decreasing demand in those segments.

• The Company is subject to risks related to international operations.

Based on the assumptions outlined above, the impairment testing conducted in the fourth quarter of 2020 indicated the Company’s goodwill assigned to the respective reporting units was not impaired. Future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates from those used in acquisition-related valuations and goodwill impairment testing, including discount rates or future operating results and related cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values in the future. An increase in discount rates, a reduction in projected cash flows or a combination of the two could lead to a reduction in the estimated fair values, which may result in impairment charges that could materially affect our financial statements in any given year.

Refer to Note 12, “Goodwill And Other Intangibles,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for more information regarding goodwill.



Product warranties The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td colspan="2">2019</td></tr><tr><td>Net sales</td><td>$ 10,165</td><td>$ 10,168</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Warranty provision</td><td>$ 105</td><td>$ 72</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Warranty provision as a percentage of net sales</td><td>1.0%</td><td>0.7%</td><td></td></tr></table>

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of a 25 basis-point change (as a percentage of net sales) in the assumed warranty trend on the Company's accrued warranty liability:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="3">December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td colspan="2">2019</td></tr><tr><td>25 basis point decrease (income)/expense</td><td>$ (25)</td><td>$ (25)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>25 basis point increase (income)/expense</td><td>$ 25</td><td>$ 25</td><td></td></tr></table>

At December 31, 2020, the total accrued warranty liability was $253 million. The accrual is represented as $164 million in current liabilities and $89 million in non-current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Refer to Note 13, “Product Warranty,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for more information regarding product warranties.

Pension and other postretirement defined benefits The Company provides postretirement defined benefits to a number of its current and former employees. Costs associated with postretirement defined benefits include pension and postretirement health care expenses for employees, retirees and surviving spouses and dependents.

The Company’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715. The determination of the Company’s obligation and expense for its pension and other postretirement employee benefits, such as retiree health care, is dependent on certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Certain assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, discount rate, rates of increase in compensation and health care costs trends are described in Note 18, “Retirement Benefit Plans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report. The effects of any modification to those assumptions are either recognized immediately or amortized over future periods in accordance with GAAP.



In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from assumptions used are accumulated and generally amortized over future periods. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s accounting for employee benefits under ASC Topics 712 and 715 as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:

- Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets: The expected long-term rate of return is used in the calculation of net periodic benefit cost. The required use of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets may result in recognized returns that are greater or less than the actual returns on those plan assets in any given year. Over time, however, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is designed to approximate actual earned long-term returns. The expected long-term rate of return for pension assets has been determined based on various inputs, including historical returns for the different asset classes held by the Company’s trusts and its asset allocation, as well as inputs from internal and external sources regarding expected capital market return, inflation and other variables. The Company also considers the impact of active management of the plans’ invested assets. In determining its pension expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company used long-term rates of return on plan assets ranging from 1.5% to 7.7% outside of the U.S. and 6.0% in the U.S.

Actual returns on U.S. pension assets were 9.3% and 18.0% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return assumption of 6.0% for the same years ended.

Actual returns on U.K. pension assets were 4.0% and 9.5% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return assumption of 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 5% for the year ended in 2019.

Actual returns on German pension assets were 4.3% and 21.0% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return assumption of 6.0% for the same years ended.

- Discount rate: The discount rate is used to calculate pension and other postretirement employee benefit (“OPEB”) obligations. In determining the discount rate, the Company utilizes a full-yield approach in the estimation of service and interest components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The Company used discount rates ranging from 0.48% to 12.50% to determine its pension and other benefit obligations as of December 31, 2020, including weighted average discount rates of 2.31% in the U.S., 1.44% outside of the U.S. (including 1.39% in the U.K.) and 1.93% for U.S. other postretirement health care plans. The U.S. and U.K. discount rates reflect the fact that the U.S. and U.K. pension plans have been closed for new participants.

- Health care cost trend: For postretirement employee health care plan accounting, the Company reviews external data and Company-specific historical trends for health care cost to determine the health care cost trend rate assumptions. In determining the projected benefit obligation for postretirement employee health care plans as of December 31, 2020, the Company used health care cost trend rates of 6.50%, declining to an ultimate trend rate of 4.75% by the year 2025.

While the Company believes that these assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the Company's pension and OPEB and its future expense.



The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in certain assumptions for Company sponsored U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on its 2021 pre-tax pension expense:

<table><tr><td>(in millions)</td><td>Impact on U.S. 2021 pre-tax pension (expense)/income</td><td>Impact on Non-U.S. 2021 pre-tax pension (expense)/income</td></tr><tr><td>25 basis point decrease in discount rate</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ (1)</td></tr><tr><td>25 basis point increase in discount rate</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ 1</td></tr><tr><td>25 basis point decrease in expected return on assets</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ 5</td></tr><tr><td>25 basis point increase in expected return on assets</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ (5)</td></tr></table>

The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in discount rate for Company sponsored U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on its pension obligations:

<table><tr><td>(in millions)</td><td>Impact on U.S. PBO</td><td>Impact on Non-U.S. PBO</td></tr><tr><td>25 basis point decrease in discount rate</td><td>$ 5</td><td>$ 124</td></tr><tr><td>25 basis point increase in discount rate</td><td>$ (5)</td><td>$ (115)</td></tr></table>

The sensitivity to a change in the discount rate assumption related to the Company’s total 2021 U.S. OPEB expense is expected to be negligible, as any increase in interest expense will be offset by net actuarial gains.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a 25 basis-point change in the assumed health care cost trend related to the Company's OPEB obligation and service and interest cost:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="3">25 Basis Point</td></tr><tr><td>Increase</td><td>Decrease</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Effect on other postretirement employee benefit obligation</td><td>$ 1</td><td>$</td><td>(1)</td></tr><tr><td>Effect on total service and interest cost components</td><td>$ (1)</td><td>$</td><td>1</td></tr></table>

Refer to Note 18, “Retirement Benefit Plans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for more information regarding the Company’s retirement benefit plans.

Restructuring Restructuring costs may occur when the Company takes action to exit or significantly curtail a part of its operations or implements a reorganization that affects the nature and focus of operations. A restructuring charge can consist of severance costs associated with reductions to the workforce, costs to terminate an operating lease or contract, professional fees and other costs incurred related to the implementation of restructuring activities.

The Company generally records costs associated with voluntary separations at the time of employee acceptance. Costs for involuntary separation programs are recorded when management has approved the plan for separation, the employees are identified and aware of the benefits they are entitled to and it is unlikely that the plan will change significantly. When a plan of separation requires approval by or consultation with the relevant labor organization or government, the costs are recorded upon agreement. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period.

Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.



Accounting for income taxes is complex, in part because the Company conducts business globally and therefore files income tax returns in numerous tax jurisdictions. Management judgment is required in determining the Company's worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities, including accruals for unrecognized tax benefits. In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial performance of the operation recording the net deferred tax asset is considered along with any other pertinent information. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company's valuation allowance may be necessary.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. at the federal and state level and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions. The determination of accruals for unrecognized tax benefits includes the application of complex tax laws in a multitude of jurisdictions across the Company's global operations. Management judgment is required in determining the accruals for unrecognized tax benefits. In the ordinary course of the Company's business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain. Accruals for unrecognized tax benefits are established when, despite the belief that tax positions are supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum probability threshold, which is a tax position that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. The Company has certain U.S. state income tax returns and certain non-U.S. income tax returns which are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities. At December 31, 2019, the Company has a liability for tax positions the Company estimates are not more-likely-than-not to be sustained based on the technical merits, which is included in other current and non-current liabilities. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.

The Tax Act that was signed into law in December 2017 constitutes a major change to the U.S. tax system. The impact of the Tax Act on the Company is based on management’s current interpretations of the Tax Act, recently issued regulations and related analysis. The Company’s tax liability may be materially different based on regulatory developments. In future periods, our effective tax rate could be subject to additional uncertainty as a result of regulatory developments related to the Tax Act.

Refer to Note 7, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for more information regarding income taxes.

## New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1, “Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for more information regarding new applicable accounting pronouncements.

## QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We are also affected by changes in the prices of commodities used or consumed in our manufacturing operations. Some of our commodity purchase price risk is covered by supply agreements with customers and suppliers. Other commodity purchase price risk is addressed by hedging strategies, which include forward contracts. The Company enters into derivative instruments only with high credit quality counterparties and diversifies its positions across such counterparties in order to reduce its exposure to credit losses. We do not engage in any derivative instruments for purposes other than hedging specific operating risks.



We have established policies and procedures to manage sensitivity to interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and commodity purchase price risk, which include monitoring the level of exposure to each market risk. For quantitative disclosures about market risk, refer to Note 17, “Financial Instruments,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for information with respect to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity purchase price risk.

## Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to optimize its interest costs. The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges). At December 31, 2020, all of the Company's long-term debt had fixed interest rates.

## Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the Company will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currently, the Company's most significant currency exposures relate to the Brazil Real, Chinese Renminbi, Euro, Hungarian Forint, Japanese Yen, Korean Won, Mexican Peso and Swedish Krona. The Company mitigates its foreign currency exchange rate risk by establishing local production facilities and related supply chain participants in the markets it serves, by invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of the products and by funding some of its investments in foreign markets through local currency loans. The Company also monitors its foreign currency exposure in each country and implements strategies to respond to changing economic and political environments. In addition, the Company periodically enters into forward currency contracts, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges to reduce exposure to translation exchange rate risk. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a deferred loss of $204 million and a deferred gain of $4 million, respectively, both before taxes, for net investment hedges within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The foreign currency translation adjustments during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are shown in the following table, which provides the percentage change in U.S. dollar against the respective currencies and the approximate impacts of these changes recorded within other comprehensive income (loss) for the respective periods.

<table><tr><td>(in millions, except for percentages)</td><td colspan="3">December 31, 2020</td></tr><tr><td>Chinese renminbi</td><td>7 %</td><td>$</td><td>124</td></tr><tr><td>Euro</td><td>9 %</td><td>$</td><td>36</td></tr><tr><td>Korean won</td><td>7 %</td><td>$</td><td>51</td></tr><tr><td>Brazilian real</td><td>(23)%</td><td>$</td><td>(14)</td></tr><tr><td>Swedish krona</td><td>14 %</td><td>$</td><td>(8)</td></tr><tr><td>(in millions, except for percentages)</td><td colspan="3">December 31, 2019</td></tr><tr><td>Euro</td><td>(2)%</td><td>$</td><td>(18)</td></tr><tr><td>Chinese renminbi</td><td>(1)%</td><td>$</td><td>(17)</td></tr><tr><td>Swedish krona</td><td>(6)%</td><td>$</td><td>(15)</td></tr></table>



## Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is the possibility that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in the cost of raw materials used in the production of our products. Commodity forward and option contracts are executed to offset our exposure to potential change in prices mainly for various non-ferrous metals and natural gas consumption used in the manufacturing of vehicle components. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no material outstanding commodity swap contracts. The related fair value of these swaps was immaterial.

# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BorgWarner Inc.

## Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BorgWarner Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

## Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Delphi Technologies PLC from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination on October 1, 2020. We have also excluded Delphi Technologies PLC from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Delphi Technologies PLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total net sales excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent approximately 27% and 11%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.



## Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

## Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Valuation of Intangible Assets Related to the Acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC - Customer Relationships, Developed Technology and Trade Name

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Delphi Technologies PLC “Delphi Technologies,” which resulted in $760 million of intangible assets being recorded. Those intangible assets were comprised of customer relationships of $380 million, developed technology of $270 million and trade name of $110 million. Fair values of the customer relationship intangible assets were estimated by management using the multi-period excess earnings method and fair values of the developed technology and the trade name intangible assets were estimated using the relief from royalty method. Management’s determination of the fair value of the customer relationships acquired included significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, estimated earnings, contributory asset charges, customer attrition and discount rates. Management’s determination of the fair value of the developed technology included significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, royalty rates, obsolescence factors and discount rates. Management’s determination of the fair value of the trade name included significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, the royalty rate and discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of intangible assets acquired in the Delphi Technologies acquisition is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when determining the valuation of intangible assets related to the valuation of customer relationships, developed technology and trade name assets, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures relating to management's significant assumptions related to the revenue growth rates, estimated earnings, contributory asset charges, customer attrition, royalty rates, obsolescence factors, and discount rates. Also, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.



Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management's valuation of the customer relationships, developed technology and trade name intangible assets. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methods; (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of management's assumptions relating to the revenue growth rates, estimated earnings, contributory asset charges, customer attrition, royalty rates, obsolescence factors, and discount rates used in the methods; and (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the methods. Evaluating the assumptions related to the revenue growth rates and estimated earnings involved evaluating whether the assumptions were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company's multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methods as well as assumptions related to customer attrition, contributory asset charges, royalty rates, obsolescence factors, and discount rates.

## Income Taxes - Worldwide Provision for Income Taxes

As described in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded income taxes from continuing operations of $397 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Management judgment is required in determining the Company's worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities, including accruals for unrecognized tax benefits. As disclosed by management, accounting for income taxes is complex, in part because the Company conducts business globally and therefore files income tax returns in numerous tax jurisdictions. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. at the federal and state level and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of the Company's business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain. Accruals for unrecognized tax benefits are established when, despite the belief that tax positions are supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum probability threshold, which is a tax position that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. The determination of accruals for unrecognized tax benefits includes the application of complex tax laws in a multitude of jurisdictions across the Company's global operations.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to management’s worldwide provision for income taxes is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the worldwide provision for income taxes, including the accruals for unrecognized tax benefits, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s worldwide provision for income taxes. Also, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's worldwide provision for income taxes and accruals for unrecognized tax benefits. These procedures also included, among others, testing the accuracy of the worldwide provision for income taxes, including the rate reconciliation and permanent and temporary differences, evaluating the completeness of management's identification of uncertain tax positions, and evaluating the reasonableness of management's more-likely-than-not determination in consideration of the tax laws in relevant jurisdictions. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in testing the accuracy of the worldwide provision for income taxes and evaluating the completeness of management's identification of accruals for unrecognized tax benefits.

# NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

## INTRODUCTION

BorgWarner Inc. (together with it Consolidated Subsidiaries, the "Company") is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1987. We are a global product leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles. Our products help improve vehicle performance, propulsion efficiency, stability and air quality. We manufacture and sell these products worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of light vehicles (passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles ("SUVs"), vans and light trucks). The Company's products are also sold to OEMs of commercial vehicles (medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks and buses) and off-highway vehicles (agricultural and construction machinery and marine applications). We also manufacture and sell our products to certain Tier One vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket for light, commercial and off-highway vehicles. The Company operates manufacturing facilities serving customers in Europe, the Americas and Asia and is an original equipment supplier to nearly every major automotive OEM in the world.

## COVID-19 Pandemic Update

A novel strain of COVID-19/coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and was subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and has resulted, at times, in travel restrictions, closing of borders and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. Many OEMs temporarily suspended certain manufacturing operations, particularly in North America and Europe, due to market conditions and matters associated with COVID-19. Furthermore, COVID-19 has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which adversely impact the access to capital and increase the cost of capital.

In response to the outbreak and business disruption, we, first and foremost, prioritized the health and safety of our employees. As a global manufacturer, we have responded to shelter-in-place and similar government orders in various locations around the world, including throughout the United States and Europe. Additionally, our employees must respond to self-isolation and quarantine orders based on circumstances in their local communities, which continues to impact our facilities. The reopening procedures related to COVID-19 led to a number of employee safety measures upon reopening to contain the spread, including domestic and international travel restrictions, work-from-home practices, extensive cleaning protocols, social distancing guidelines, requirement for employees to wear masks and various temporary closures of or reduced operations at our manufacturing and assembly facilities.

Because of the impacts COVID-19 had on the Company's operations, primarily in the second quarter of 2020, the Company assessed certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information, including, but not limited to, its allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of the Company's goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19. As a result of these assessments, there were no impairments or material increases in credit allowances or valuation allowances that impacted the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. While production levels increased in the third and fourth quarters and revenue and profitability improved, there is no guarantee that COVID-19 will not require additional assessments in the future and these assessments would not result in material impacts to the Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.



# NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

## NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following paragraphs briefly describe the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Basis of presentation Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. On October 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC (“Delphi Technologies”). Accordingly, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the results of Delphi Technologies following the date of acquisition. Refer to Note 2, “Acquisitions,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the accompanying notes, as well as the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries with a controlling financial interest. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Joint ventures and equity securities The Company has investments in three joint ventures: NSK-Warner K.K., Turbo Energy Private Limited and Delphi-TVS Diesel Systems Ltd of which the Company owns 50%, 32.6% and 52.5%, respectively. These joint ventures are non-controlled affiliates which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have a controlling financial interest and therefore are accounted for under the equity method. Generally, under the equity method, the Company's original investment in these joint ventures are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Company's share of equity in income or losses. The Company monitors its equity method investments for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in fair value on an ongoing basis. If such a decline has occurred, an impairment charge is recorded, which is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value. The Company's investment in these non-controlled affiliates is included within Investments and other long-term receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company's share of equity in income or losses is included in Equity in affiliates' earnings, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also has certain investments for which it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence (generally when ownership interest is less than 20%). The Company’s investment in these equity securities is included within Investments and other long-term receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 10, “Other Current And Non-Current Assets,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Interests in privately-held companies that do not have readily determinable fair values, are accounted for using the measurement alternative under ASC Topic 321, which includes monitoring on an ongoing basis for indicators of impairments or upward adjustments. These equity securities are measured at cost less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. If the Company determines that an indicator of impairment or upward adjustment is present, an adjustment is recorded, which is measured as the difference between carrying value and estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is generally determined using an income approach on discounted cash flows or negotiated transaction values.

Equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Unrealized gain on equity securities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Business combinations In accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” acquisitions are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company includes the operating results of acquired entities from their respective dates of acquisition. The Company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date fair value. The excess, if any, of total consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest is recognized as goodwill. Costs incurred as a result of a business combination other than costs related to the issuance of debt or equity securities are recorded in the period the costs are incurred. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of our products. For most of our products, transfer of control occurs upon shipment or delivery; however, a limited number of our customer arrangements for our highly customized products with no alternative use provide us with the right to payment during the production process. As a result, for these limited arrangements, revenue is recognized as goods are produced and control transfers to the customer using the input cost-to-cost method. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. Although the Company may enter into long-term supply arrangements with its major customers, the prices and volumes are not fixed over the life of the arrangements, and a contract does not exist for purposes of applying ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” until volumes are contractually known.

Sales incentives and allowances (including returns) are recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the related sale. The Company estimates the allowances based on an analysis of historical experience. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority collected by the Company concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction are excluded from net sales. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in sales, while costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. The Company has elected to apply the accounting policy election available under ASC Topic 606 and accounts for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost.

The Company has a limited number of arrangements with customers where the price paid by the customer is dependent on the volume of product purchased over the term of the arrangement. In other arrangements, the Company will provide a rebate to customers based on the volume of products purchased during the course of the arrangement. The Company estimates the volumes to be sold over the term of the arrangement and recognizes revenue based on the estimated amount of consideration to be received from these arrangements.

The Company continually seeks business development opportunities and at times provides customer incentives for new program awards. The Company evaluates the underlying economics of each amount of consideration payable to a customer to determine the proper accounting by understanding the reasons for the payment, the rights and obligations resulting from the payment, the nature of the promise in the contract, and other relevant facts and circumstances. When the Company determines that the payments are incremental and incurred only if the new business is obtained and expects to recover these amounts from the customer over the term of the new business arrangement, the Company capitalizes these amounts. The Company recognizes a reduction to revenue as products that the upfront payments are related to are transferred to the customer, based on the total amount of products expected to be sold over the term of the arrangement (generally 3 to 7 years). The Company evaluates the amounts capitalized each period end for recoverability and expenses any amounts that are no longer expected to be recovered over the term of the business arrangement.

Refer to Note 3, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Cost of sales The Company includes materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead within cost of sales. Manufacturing overhead is comprised of indirect materials, indirect labor, factory operating costs and other such costs associated with manufacturing products for sale.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are valued at fair market value. It is the Company's policy to classify all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk.

Receivables, net Accounts receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for credit losses. An allowance for credit losses is recorded for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate based on expected losses, current economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of each customer’s accounts receivable.

Sales of receivables are accounted for in accordance with the ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). Agreements which result in true sales of the transferred receivables, as defined in ASC 860, which occur when receivables are transferred to a third party without recourse to the Company, are excluded from amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash proceeds received from such sales are included in operating cash flows. The expenses associated with receivables factoring are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within interest expense. Refer to Note 8, “Receivables, Net,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Inventories, net The majority of inventory is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average-cost methods at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with the exception of certain U.S. inventories that are determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method at the lower of cost or market. Inventory held by U.S. operations using the LIFO method was $186 million and $193 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Such inventories, if valued at current cost instead of LIFO, would have been greater by $15 million and $15 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Refer to Note 9, “Inventories, net,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Pre-production costs related to long-term supply arrangements Engineering, research and development and other design and development costs for products sold on long-term supply arrangements are expensed as incurred unless the Company has a contractual guarantee for reimbursement from the customer. Costs for molds, dies and other tools used to make products sold on long-term supply arrangements for which the Company has title to the assets are capitalized in property, plant and equipment and amortized to cost of sales over the shorter of the term of the arrangement or over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically 3 to 5 years. Costs for molds, dies and other tools used to make products sold on long-term supply arrangements for which the Company has a contractual guarantee for lump sum reimbursement from the customer are capitalized in prepayments and other current assets.

Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment is valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of relatively minor items are generally charged to expense as incurred. Renewals of significant items are capitalized. Depreciation is generally computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives for buildings range from 15 to 40 years and useful lives for machinery and equipment range from three to 12 years. For income tax purposes, accelerated methods of depreciation are generally used. Refer to Note 11, “Property, Plant And Equipment, Net,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Impairment of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, whether held for use or disposal, including other



amortizing intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review under ASC Topic 360. In assessing long-lived assets for an impairment loss, assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, management generally considers individual facilities the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent. A recoverability review is performed using the undiscounted cash flows if there is a triggering event. If the undiscounted cash flow test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, management will perform a fair value analysis. Management determines fair value under ASC Topic 820 using the appropriate valuation technique of market, income or cost approach. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Management believes that the estimates of future cash flows and fair value assumptions are reasonable; however, changes in assumptions underlying these estimates could affect the valuations. Significant judgments and estimates used by management when evaluating long-lived assets for impairment include: (i) an assessment as to whether an adverse event or circumstance has triggered the need for an impairment review; (ii) undiscounted future cash flows generated by the asset; and (iii) fair valuation of the asset.

Goodwill and other intangible assets During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company qualitatively assesses its goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units. This qualitative assessment evaluates various events and circumstances, such as macro-economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and financial trends, that may impact a reporting unit's fair value. Using this qualitative assessment, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds its carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more-likely-than-not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds the carrying value, or upon consideration of other factors, including recent acquisition, restructuring or divestiture activity or to refresh the fair values, the Company performs a quantitative, “step one,” goodwill impairment analysis. In addition, the Company may test goodwill in between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

The Company has definite-lived intangible assets related to patents and developed technology, customer relationships and trade names. The Company amortizes definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. The Company also has intangible assets related to acquired trade names that are classified as indefinite-lived when there are no foreseeable limits on the periods of time over which they are expected to contribute cash flows. Costs to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets are recognized as expense as incurred.

Similar to goodwill, the Company can elect to perform the impairment test for indefinite-lived intangibles other than goodwill (primarily trade names) using a qualitative analysis, considering similar factors as outlined in the goodwill discussion in order to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the trade names is less than the respective carrying values. If the Company elects to perform or is required to perform a quantitative analysis, the test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to the carrying value of the asset as of the impairment testing date. The Company estimates the fair value of indefinite-lived intangibles using the relief-from-royalty method, which it believes is an appropriate and widely used valuation technique for such assets. The fair value derived from the relief-from-royalty method is measured as the discounted cash flow savings realized from owning such trade names and not being required to pay a royalty for their use.

Refer to Note 12, “Goodwill And Other Intangibles,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Product warranties The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual. The product warranty accrual is allocated to current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Refer to Note 13, “Product Warranty,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Other loss accruals and valuation allowances The Company has numerous other loss exposures, such as customer claims, workers' compensation claims, litigation and recoverability of certain other assets. Establishing loss accruals or valuation allowances for these matters requires the use of estimates and judgment in regard to the risk exposure and ultimate realization. The Company estimates losses under the programs using consistent and appropriate methods; however, changes to its assumptions could materially affect the recorded accrued liabilities for loss or asset valuation allowances.

Environmental contingencies The Company accounts for environmental costs in accordance with ASC Topic 450. Costs related to environmental assessments and remediation efforts at operating facilities are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are recorded at undiscounted amounts, based on experience and assessments and are regularly evaluated. The liabilities are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Refer to Note 21, “Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Derivative financial instruments The Company recognizes that certain normal business transactions generate risk. Examples of risks include exposure to exchange rate risk related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, changes in commodity costs and interest rates. It is the objective of the Company to assess the impact of these transaction risks and offer protection from selected risks through various methods, including financial derivatives. Virtually all derivative instruments held by the Company are designated as hedges, have high correlation with the underlying exposure and are highly effective in offsetting underlying price movements. Accordingly, gains and losses from changes in qualifying hedge fair values are matched with the underlying transactions. Hedge instruments are generally reported gross, with no right to offset, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities. The Company does not engage in any derivative transactions for purposes other than hedging specific risks.

Refer to Note 17, “Financial Instruments,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Foreign currency The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and an average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses and capital expenditures. The local currency is the functional currency for substantially all of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Translation adjustments for foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity. The Company recognizes transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency in earnings as incurred.



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Refer to Note 20, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Pensions and other postretirement employee defined benefits The Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715. Disability, early retirement and other postretirement employee benefits are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 712.

Pensions and other postretirement employee benefit costs and related liabilities and assets are dependent upon assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, health care cost trends, compensation and other factors. In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions used are accumulated and amortized over future periods, and accordingly, generally affect recognized expense in future periods.

Refer to Note 18, “Retirement Benefit Plans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Restructuring Restructuring costs may occur when the Company takes action to exit or significantly curtail a part of its operations or implements a reorganization that affects the nature and focus of operations. A restructuring charge can consist of severance costs associated with reductions to the workforce, costs to terminate an operating lease or contract, professional fees and other costs incurred related to the implementation of restructuring activities.

The Company generally records costs associated with voluntary separations at the time of employee acceptance. Costs for involuntary separation programs are recorded when management has approved the plan for separation, the employees are identified and aware of the benefits they are entitled to and it is unlikely that the plan will change significantly. When a plan of separation requires approval by or consultation with the relevant labor organization or government, the costs are recorded upon agreement. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period.

Refer to Note 4, “Restructuring,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Income taxes In accordance with ASC Topic 740, the Company's income tax expense is calculated based on expected income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates and requires the use of management's estimates and judgments. Accounting for income taxes is complex, in part because the Company conducts business globally and therefore files income tax returns in numerous tax jurisdictions. Management judgment is required in determining the Company's worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities, including accruals for unrecognized tax benefits.

The determination of accruals for unrecognized tax benefits includes the application of complex tax laws in a multitude of jurisdictions across the Company's global operations. Management judgment is required in determining the gross unrecognized tax benefits related liabilities. In the ordinary course of the Company's business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain. Accruals for unrecognized tax benefits are established when, despite the belief that tax positions are supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum probability threshold, which is a tax position that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority.

Refer to Note 7, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

## New Accounting Pronouncements

## Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-4, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).” It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These optional expedients and exceptions allow a company to choose not to apply certain modification accounting requirements under GAAP to contracts affected by reference rate reform. A company that makes this election would present and account for a modified contract as a continuation of the existing contract. It also enables a company to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships in which the critical terms change due to rate reform. This guidance was effective March 12, 2020 and provides relief to contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance on March 12, 2020, and there was no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).” It requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customer in a software licensing arrangement under the internal-use software guidance (Subtopic 350-40). This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, and the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements was immaterial.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).” It removes disclosure requirements on fair value measurements including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also amends and clarifies certain disclosures and adds new disclosure requirements including the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, and there was no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).” It replaces the current incurred loss impairment method with a new method that reflects expected credit losses. Under this new model an entity would recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, and the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements was immaterial.

## Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-1, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” It clarifies the interaction among the accounting for equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivative instruments. Specifically, for the purposes of applying the ASC Topic 321 measurement alternative, a company should consider observable transactions immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. Additionally, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options entered into to purchase securities, a company should not consider if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method (ASC Topic 323) or fair value option (ASC Topic 825). This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of ASC Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20).” It (i) requires the removal of disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial; (ii) clarifies specific requirements of certain disclosures; and (iii) adds new disclosure requirements, including the weighted average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates, and reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact, and it will reflect the revised disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

## NOTE 2 ACQUISITIONS

## Delphi Technologies PLC

On October 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Delphi Technologies PLC (“Delphi Technologies”) from the shareholders of Delphi Technologies pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, dated January 28, 2020, as amended on May 6, 2020, by and between the Company and Delphi Technologies (the “Transaction Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Company issued, in exchange for each Delphi Technologies share, 0.4307 of a share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share and cash in lieu of any fractional share. In the aggregate, the Company delivered consideration of approximately $2.4 billion. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company’s electronics and power electronics products, capabilities and scale, position the Company for greater growth as electrified propulsion systems gain momentum and enhance key combustion, commercial vehicle and aftermarket product offerings. Upon closing, the Company also assumed approximately $800 million in senior notes as discussed in Note 14, “Notes Payable And Debt,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes the purchase price:

<table><tr><td colspan="3">(in millions, except for share data)</td></tr><tr><td>BorgWarner common stock issued for purchase of Delphi Technologies</td><td></td><td>37,188,819</td></tr><tr><td>BorgWarner share price at October 1, 2020</td><td>$</td><td>39.54</td></tr><tr><td>Fair value of stock consideration</td><td>$</td><td>1,470</td></tr><tr><td>Stock compensation consideration</td><td></td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>Total stock consideration</td><td>$</td><td>1,477</td></tr><tr><td>Cash consideration</td><td></td><td>18</td></tr><tr><td>Repayment of Delphi Technologies&#x27; debt</td><td></td><td>896</td></tr><tr><td>Total consideration</td><td>$</td><td>2,391</td></tr></table>

The purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis as of October 1, 2020. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values based on management’s estimates, available information, and supportable assumptions that management considered reasonable. The Company is in



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the process of finalizing all purchase accounting adjustments related to the Delphi Technologies acquisition. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill, intangible assets and deferred taxes are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be materially different from the estimated values shown below.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

<table><tr><td>(in millions)</td><td>As of October 1, 2020</td></tr><tr><td>ASSETS</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Cash and cash equivalents</td><td>$ 460</td></tr><tr><td>Receivables, net</td><td>901</td></tr><tr><td>Inventories, net*</td><td>398</td></tr><tr><td>Prepayments and other current assets</td><td>77</td></tr><tr><td>Property, plant and equipment, net</td><td>1,548</td></tr><tr><td>Investments and other long-term receivables</td><td>103</td></tr><tr><td>Goodwill</td><td>710</td></tr><tr><td>Other intangible assets, net</td><td>760</td></tr><tr><td>Other non-current assets</td><td>359</td></tr><tr><td>Total assets acquired</td><td>5,316</td></tr><tr><td>LIABILITIES</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Notes payable and other short-term debt</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>Accounts payable</td><td>692</td></tr><tr><td>Other current liabilities</td><td>609</td></tr><tr><td>Long-term debt</td><td>934</td></tr><tr><td>Other non-current liabilities:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Retirement-related</td><td>313</td></tr><tr><td>Other</td><td>286</td></tr><tr><td>Total liabilities assumed</td><td>2,836</td></tr><tr><td>Noncontrolling interests</td><td>89</td></tr><tr><td>Net assets and noncontrolling interests acquired</td><td>$ 2,391</td></tr></table>

*During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $27 million of expense related to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment.

Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill. At the acquisition date, goodwill of $710 million was allocated across the segments, as noted in the table below. The goodwill consists of the Company's expected future economic benefits that will arise from expected future product sales and operational synergies from combining Delphi Technologies with its existing business and is not deductible for tax purposes.

<table><tr><td>(in millions)</td><td>As of October 1, 2020</td></tr><tr><td>Air Management</td><td>$ 151</td></tr><tr><td>e-Propulsion &amp; Drivetrain</td><td>272</td></tr><tr><td>Fuel Injection</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Aftermarket</td><td>287</td></tr><tr><td>Total acquisition date goodwill</td><td>$ 710</td></tr></table>



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology. The fair values of the customer relationship intangible assets were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. Assumptions used in these calculations were considered from a market participant perspective and include revenue growth rates, estimated earnings, contributory asset charges, customer attrition and discount rates.

The fair values of the developed technology and trade name intangible assets were estimated utilizing the relief from royalty method, which calculates the cost savings associated with owning rather than licensing the assets. Assumed royalty rates are applied to projected revenue for the remaining useful lives of the assets to estimate the royalty savings. Assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the developed technology included revenue growth rates, royalty rates, obsolescence factors and discount rates. Assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the trade name included the revenue growth rates, the royalty rate and discount rate. The following table summarizes the other intangible assets acquired:

<table><tr><td>(in millions)</td><td>Estimated Life</td><td>Estimated Fair Value</td></tr><tr><td>Amortized intangible assets:</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Developed technology</td><td>14 years</td><td>$ 270</td></tr><tr><td>Customer relationships</td><td>15 years</td><td>380</td></tr><tr><td>Total amortized intangible assets</td><td></td><td>650</td></tr><tr><td>Unamortized trade name</td><td>Indefinite</td><td>110</td></tr><tr><td>Total other intangible assets</td><td></td><td>$ 760</td></tr></table>

Generally accepted valuation practice indicates that assets and liabilities may be valued using a range of methodologies. The property, plant and equipment and inventory acquired were valued using a combination of cost and market approaches. Goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, noncontrolling interests and the equity method investment were valued using the income approach. Management used a third-party valuation firm to assist in the determination of the preliminary purchase accounting fair values; however, management ultimately oversees the third-party valuation firm to ensure that the transaction-specific assumptions are appropriate for the Company.

The following table summarizes the net sales and earnings related to Delphi Technologies' operations that have been included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations following the October 1, 2020 acquisition date:

<table><tr><td>(in millions)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net sales</td><td>$ 1,120</td></tr><tr><td>Net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc.</td><td>$ 30</td></tr></table>

Pro forma financial information (unaudited): The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of operations of the Company and Delphi Technologies business as though the acquisition and the related financing had occurred as of January 1, 2019. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition of Delphi Technologies occurred on January 1, 2019 or of future consolidated operating results.

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net sales</td><td>$ 12,792</td><td>$ 14,529</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc.</td><td>$ 616</td><td>$ 625</td><td></td></tr></table>



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and the results presented above primarily reflect: (i) depreciation adjustments relating to fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment; (ii) amortization adjustments relating to fair value estimates of intangible assets; (iii) incremental interest expense, net on assumed indebtedness, the $1.1 billion bond issuance, on June 19, 2020, debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments to debt; (iv) cost of goods sold adjustments relating to fair value adjustments to inventory; and (v) stock-based compensation that was accelerated and settled on the date of acquisition.

In 2020, the Company incurred $89 million of acquisition related costs. These expenses are included in Other operating expense (income), net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, and are reflected in the pro forma earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019, in the table above.

## Romeo Power, Inc.

In May 2019, the Company invested $50 million in exchange for a 20% equity interest in Romeo Systems, Inc. (now known as Romeo Power, Inc.) (“Romeo”), a privately-held technology-leading battery module and pack supplier. The Company accounted for this investment in Series A-1 Preferred Stock of Romeo under the measurement alternative in ASC Topic 321, “Investments - Equity Securities” for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Such investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. In September 2019, the Company and Romeo contributed total equity of $10 million and formed a new joint venture, BorgWarner Romeo Power LLC (“Romeo JV”), in which the Company owns 60% interest. Romeo JV is a variable interest entity focusing on producing battery module and pack technology. The Company is the primary beneficiary of Romeo JV and consolidates Romeo JV in its consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, after completing a qualitative assessment which indicated the Company’s equity securities in Romeo may have been impaired, the Company recorded a $9 million impairment charge to reflect this investment at its estimated fair value of $41 million. The estimated fair value of Romeo was determined using unobservable inputs including quantitative information from lower valuations in recently completed or proposed financings and the liquidation preferences included in the Romeo stock agreements. These unobservable inputs are considered Level 3.

On December 29, 2020, through the business combination of Romeo Systems, Inc. and special purpose acquisition company RMG Acquisition Corporation, a new entity, Romeo Power, Inc., became a publicly listed company. The Company’s ownership in Romeo was reduced to 14%, and the investment no longer qualified for the measurement alternative under ASC Topic 321 as the investment now has a readily determinable fair value. Therefore, the investment is recorded at fair value on an ongoing basis with changes in fair value being recognized in Unrealized gain on equity securities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $391 million to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s investment to fair value of $432 million, which is in Investments and other long-term receivables in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

## Rinehart Motion Systems LLC and AM Racing LLC

On January 2, 2019, the Company acquired Rinehart Motion Systems LLC and AM Racing LLC, two established companies in the specialty electric and hybrid propulsion market, for approximately $15 million, of which $10 million was paid in the first quarter of 2019, $2 million was paid during the first quarter 2020 and the remaining $3 million will be paid upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Company created Cascadia Motion LLC (“Cascadia Motion”) to combine assets and operations of these two acquired companies. Based in Oregon, Cascadia Motion specializes in design, development



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

and production of hybrid and electric propulsion solutions for prototype and low-volume production applications. It allows the Company to offer design, development and production of full electric and hybrid propulsion systems for niche and low-volume manufacturing applications.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized intangible assets of $5 million, goodwill of $7 million within the e-Propulsion & Drivetrain reporting segment, and other assets and liabilities of $2 million to reflect the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The intangible assets will be amortized over a period of 2 to 15 years. Various valuation techniques were used to determine the fair value of the intangible assets, with the primary techniques being forms of the income approach, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Under these valuation approaches, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates based on budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Due to the nature of the transaction, goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

## NOTE 3 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

The Company manufactures and sells products, primarily to OEMs of light vehicles, and to a lesser extent, to other OEMs of commercial vehicles and off-highway vehicles, to certain Tier One vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket. The Company’s payment terms are based on customary business practices and vary by customer type and products offered. We have evaluated the terms of our arrangements and determined that they do not contain significant financing components.

Generally, revenue is recognized upon shipment or delivery, in a limited number of arrangements, revenue is recognized as goods are produced and control transfers to the customer using the input cost-to-cost method. The Company recorded a contract asset of $16 million and $10 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for these arrangements. These amounts are reflected in Prepayments and other current assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In limited instances, certain customers have provided payments in advance of receiving related products, typically at the onset of an arrangement prior to the beginning of production. These contract liabilities are reflected in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $22 million and $6 million at December 31, 2020 and $10 million and $12 million at December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase in current contract liabilities was primarily due to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies. These amounts are reflected as revenue over the term of the arrangement (typically 3 to 7 years) as the underlying products are shipped.

Sales to certain aftermarket customers provide a right of return. The Company recognizes an estimated return asset (and adjusts for cost of sales) for the right to recover the products returned by the customer. ASC Topic 606 requires that return assets be presented separately from inventory. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had return assets of $8 million included in Prepayments and other current assets.

The Company recorded customer incentive payments of $43 million and $37 million in Prepayments and other current assets, and $166 million and $180 million recorded in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

## NOTE 4 RESTRUCTURING

The Company’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute management’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions. Restructuring activities include efforts to integrate and rationalize the Company’s business and to relocate operations to best cost locations.

In February 2020, the Company announced a cost restructuring plan to address existing structural costs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $148 million of restructuring related to this plan. These actions are expected to result in a total of $300 million of restructuring costs through 2022. Nearly all of the restructuring charges are expected to be cash expenditures.

In April 2019, the Company announced a cost restructuring plan including several actions to reduce existing structural costs. These actions were primarily completed during fourth quarter 2019 and resulted in approximately $50 million of restructuring expense.

The Company recorded approximately $54 million in restructuring during the three months ended December 31, 2020, related to legacy Delphi Technologies. In conjunction with the acquisition, there were



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

contractually required severance and post-combination stock-based compensation cash payments to legacy Delphi Technologies executive officers and other employee termination benefits. Additionally, in 2019, legacy Delphi Technologies announced a restructuring plan to reshape and realign its global technical center footprint and reduce salaried and contract staff, with expected charges of up to $175 million. Certain of these actions are subject to consultation with employee works councils and other employee representatives. The majority of these actions are expected to be completed by the end of 2021. Nearly all of the restructuring charges are expected to be cash expenditures.

## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

- $6 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily for various corporate restructuring actions.

- $8 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily related to contractually required severance costs associated with the executive officers of an acquired company and other employee termination benefits.

Estimates of restructuring expense are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded. Accordingly, the Company may record revisions of previous estimates by adjusting previously established accruals.

The Company continues to evaluate different options across its operations to reduce existing structural costs over the next few years. The Company will recognize restructuring expense associated with any future actions at the time they are approved and become probable or are incurred. Any future actions could result in significant restructuring expense.

## NOTE 5 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company's net Research & Development ("R&D") expenditures are primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross R&D expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Customer reimbursements for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on customer contracts, typically either when the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the customer. Customer reimbursements for engineering services are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the contract. Financial risks and rewards transfer upon shipment, acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or upon completion of the performance obligation as stated in the respective customer agreement.

The following table presents the Company’s gross and net expenditures on R&D activities:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in millions)</td><td colspan="4">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Gross R&amp;D expenditures</td><td>$ 533</td><td>$ 498</td><td>$ 512</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Customer reimbursements</td><td>(57)</td><td>(85)</td><td>(72)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net R&amp;D expenditures</td><td>$ 476</td><td>$ 413</td><td>$ 440</td><td></td></tr></table>

Net R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales were 4.7%, 4.1% and 4.2% for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company has contracts with several customers at the Company's various R&D locations.

Merger, acquisition and divestiture expense: During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $96 million, $11 million and $6 million of merger, acquisition and divestiture expenses. The merger, acquisition and divestiture expense incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020 is comprised primarily of professional fees associated with the Company's acquisition of Delphi Technologies completed on October 1, 2020. The merger, acquisition and divestiture expense in the year ended December 31, 2019 was comprised primarily of professional fees, related to the Company's review of strategic acquisition and divestiture targets, including the transfer of Morse TEC, the anticipated acquisition of Delphi Technologies, the 20% equity interest in Romeo Systems, Inc. and the divestiture activities for the non-core pipes and thermostat product lines. The merger, acquisition and divestiture expense in the year ended December 31, 2018 comprised primarily of professional fees associated with divestiture activities for the non-core pipes and thermostat product lines.

Asset impairment and loss on divestiture: During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $17 million. The impairment charges consist of $9 million in the Air Management segment and $8 million in the e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment, related to the write down of property, plant and equipment associated with the announced closures of two European facilities.

In December 2018, the Company reached an agreement to sell its thermostat product lines for approximately $28 million. As a result, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $25 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 to adjust the net book value of this business to fair value less costs to sell. All closing conditions were satisfied, and the sale was closed on April 1, 2019. Based on an agreement reached in the fourth quarter of 2019 regarding the finalization of certain purchase price adjustments related to the sale, the Company recognized an additional loss on sale of $7 million.

Net gain on insurance recovery: On April 13, 2020, a tornado struck the Company's facility in Seneca, South Carolina (the "Seneca Plant") causing damage to the Company's assets. The Seneca Plant, which is one of the Company's largest e-Propulsion & Drivetrain plants, was not in operation at the time. The Company expects its insurance policies to cover the full repair or replacement of the Company's assets that incurred loss or damage. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net gain of $9 million from insurance recovery proceeds which primarily represents the amount received for replacement cost in excess of carrying value (net of deductible expense of $1 million). In addition, all clean-up and repair costs incurred through December 31, 2020 have been fully recovered through these insurance proceeds. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had received a total of $145 million in cash proceeds from insurance carriers related to this event, substantially all of



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

which have been applied to losses and expenses associated with clean-up and repair costs and capital expenditures. The Company expects its insurance policies to provide coverage for interruption to its business and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that will be incurred relating to the damages and losses sustained.

Gain on derecognition of subsidiary: On October 30, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Enstar Holdings (US) LLC (“Enstar”), a subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited, pursuant to which Enstar acquired 100% of the equity interests of Morse TEC, a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that holds asbestos and certain other liabilities. In connection with the closing, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $177 million. Refer to Note 21 “Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Unfavorable arbitration loss: During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $14 million of expense related to the receipt of a final unfavorable arbitration decision associated with the resolution of a matter related to a previous acquisition.

Asbestos-related adjustments: During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded asbestos-related adjustments resulting in an increase to expense of $23 million. This increase was the result of actuarial valuation changes associated with the Company's estimate of liabilities for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential claims not yet asserted. Refer to Note 21, "Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

## NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was approximately 41% for the year ended December 31, 2020. Unfavorably impacting the effective tax rate in 2020 was income tax expense related to the final U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations issued in the third quarter of 2020, that impacted the net tax on remittance of foreign earnings, and certain tax law changes in India effective in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, we recognized incremental valuation allowances of $53 million in 2020. Also, unfavorably impacting the effective tax rate were certain restructuring expenses and merger and acquisition related transaction costs that were non-deductible for tax purposes.

The effective tax rate was 37% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The effective tax rate for 2019 includes an increase in income tax expense of $173 million related to the derecognition of the Morse TEC asbestos-related deferred tax assets and $22 million due to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's issuance of the final regulations in the first quarter of 2019 related to the calculation of the one-time transition tax. The 2019 effective tax rate also includes reductions of income tax expense of $19 million related to restructuring expense, $11 million for a global realignment plan, $8 million related to other one-time adjustments and $6 million related to pension settlement loss.

The effective tax rate was approximately 18% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The effective tax rate for 2018 includes reductions of income tax expense of $15 million related to restructuring expense, $6 million related to the asbestos-related adjustments, and $8 million related to asset impairment expense, offset by increases to tax expense of $1 million and $6 million related to a gain on commercial settlement and a gain on the sale of a building.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2019 (the Tax Act). The final SAB 118 adjustments resulted in: (i) an increase in the Company’s existing deferred tax asset balances of $13 million, including $9 million for executive compensation (ii) a tax charge of $8 million for the one-time transition tax, and (iii) a decrease



in the deferred tax liability associated with its indefinite reinvestment assertion of $7 million. The total impact to tax expense from these adjustments was a net tax benefit of $13 million. Compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, this additional tax benefit from the final adjustments was a result of further analysis performed by the Company and the issuance of additional regulatory guidance.

In 2018, the Company made an accounting policy election to treat the future tax impacts of the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act as a period cost to the extent applicable.

A roll forward of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits is presented below:

<table><tr><td>(in millions)</td><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Balance, January 1</td><td>$ 146</td><td>$ 120</td><td>$ 92</td></tr><tr><td>Delphi Technologies acquisition</td><td>54</td><td>—</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Additions based on tax positions related to current year</td><td>14</td><td>7</td><td>24</td></tr><tr><td>Additions for tax positions of prior years</td><td>9</td><td>26</td><td>18</td></tr><tr><td>Reductions for closure of tax audits and settlements</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>(8)</td></tr><tr><td>Reductions for lapse in statute of limitations</td><td>(5)</td><td>(6)</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Translation adjustment</td><td>13</td><td>(1)</td><td>(6)</td></tr><tr><td>Balance, December 31</td><td>$ 231</td><td>$ 146</td><td>$ 120</td></tr></table>

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The amounts recognized in income tax expense for 2020 and 2019 are $21 million and $15 million, respectively. The Company has an accrual of approximately $69 million and $46 million for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $263 million represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective income tax rate in future periods. This amount includes a decrease in U.S. federal income taxes that would occur upon recognition of the state tax benefits and U.S. foreign tax credits included therein. The Company estimates that that it is reasonably possible there could be a decrease of approximately $66 million in unrecognized tax benefits and interest in the next 12 months related to the closure of an audit and the lapse in statute of limitations subsequent to the reporting period from certain taxing jurisdictions.

The Company and/or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions. In certain tax jurisdictions, the Company may have more than one taxpayer. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major tax jurisdictions as follows:

<table><tr><td>Tax jurisdiction</td><td>Years no longer subject to audit</td><td>Tax jurisdiction</td><td>Years no longer subject to audit</td></tr><tr><td>U.S. Federal</td><td>2015 and prior</td><td>Japan</td><td>2018 and prior</td></tr><tr><td>Barbados</td><td>2017 and prior</td><td>Luxembourg</td><td>2013 and prior</td></tr><tr><td>China</td><td>2012 and prior</td><td>Mexico</td><td>2013 and prior</td></tr><tr><td>France</td><td>2015 and prior</td><td>Poland</td><td>2013 and prior</td></tr><tr><td>Germany</td><td>2011 and prior</td><td>South Korea</td><td>2013 and prior</td></tr><tr><td>Hungary</td><td>2013 and prior</td><td>United Kingdom</td><td>2015 and prior</td></tr></table>

In the U.S., certain tax attributes created in years prior to 2015 were subsequently utilized. Even though the U.S. federal statute of limitations has expired for years prior to 2015, the years in which these tax attributes were created could still be subject to examination, limited to only the examination of the creation of the tax attribute.

*Balances include the impact from deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired or assumed from the acquisition of Delphi Technologies on October 1, 2020. Also includes the impact to deferred tax liabilities related to the recognition of intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Delphi Technologies.

At December 31, 2020, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards totaling $2.4 billion available to offset future taxable income. Of the total $2.4 billion, $1.9 billion expire at various dates from 2021 through 2040, and the remaining $522 million have no expiration date. The Company has a valuation allowance recorded of $505 million against the $2.4 billion of non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. Certain U.S. subsidiaries have state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $614 million, of which the Company has a valuation allowance of $17 million recorded against the carryforwards. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates from 2021 to 2040. Certain U.S. subsidiaries also have state tax credit carryforwards of $28 million, which are partially offset by a valuation allowance of $26 million. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries located in China had tax exemptions or tax holidays, which reduced local tax expense approximately $36 million and $26 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The tax holidays for these subsidiaries are issued in three-year terms with expirations for certain subsidiaries ranging from 2020 to 2022.

The Company reviews the likelihood that we will realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets and, therefore, the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. If based upon the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. Due to recent restructurings, we concluded that the weight of the negative evidence outweighs the positive evidence in certain foreign jurisdictions. As a result, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions that include entities in



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Luxembourg, Germany, France, Ireland and the U.K. will not be realized in the future. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax assets in those foreign jurisdictions.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of $156 million with respect to foreign unremitted earnings. The Company did not provide deferred tax liabilities with respect to certain book versus tax basis differences not represented by undistributed earnings of approximately $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2020, because the Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment of these basis differences. These basis differences would become taxable upon the sale or liquidation of the foreign subsidiaries. The Company's best estimate of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on these basis differences is approximately $70 million as of December 31, 2020.

## NOTE 12 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company performed an analysis on each reporting unit. Following the acquisition of Delphi Technologies and the resulting reorganization of the business, the Company elected to perform quantitative, “step one,” goodwill impairment analyses for certain reporting units to refresh their respective fair values. This requires the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates and growth rates. The basis of this goodwill impairment analysis is the Company’s annual budget and long-range plan (“LRP”). The annual budget and LRP includes a five-year projection of future cash flows based on actual new products and customer commitments. Because the projections are estimated over a significant future period of time, those estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainty. Further, the market valuation models and other financial ratios used by the Company require certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of those models to the Company’s facts and circumstances.

The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair value are reasonable. Different assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s 2020 goodwill quantitative, “step one,” impairment review are as follows:

- Discount rate: the Company used a 11.7% weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as the discount rate for future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that would be expected by a market participant.

• Operating income margin: the Company used historical and expected operating income margins, which may vary based on the projections of the reporting unit being evaluated.

• Revenue growth rate: the Company used a global automotive market industry growth rate forecast adjusted to estimate its own market participation for product lines.

In addition to the above primary assumptions, the Company notes the following risks to volume and operating income assumptions that could have an impact on the discounted cash flow models:

- The automotive industry is cyclical, and the Company’s results of operations would be adversely affected by industry downturns.

- The Company is dependent on market segments that use our key products and would be affected by decreasing demand in those segments.

• The Company is subject to risks related to international operations.

Based on the assumptions outlined above, the impairment testing conducted in the fourth quarter of 2020 indicated the Company’s goodwill assigned to the respective reporting units was not impaired. Future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates from those used in acquisition-related valuations and goodwill impairment testing, including discount rates or future operating results and related cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values in the future. An increase in discount rates, a reduction in projected cash flows or a combination of the two could lead to a reduction in the estimated fair values, which may result in impairment charges that could materially affect our financial statements in any given year.

Amortization of other intangible assets was $89 million, $39 million and $40 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization for the year ended December 31, 2020, includes $38 million related to accelerated amortization for certain intangibles, discussed further below, and $11 million related to intangibles acquired in the Delphi Technologies acquisition. The Company utilizes the straight line method of amortization recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated future annual amortization expense, primarily for acquired intangible assets, is as follows: $81 million in 2021, $80 million in 2022, $74 million in 2023, $73 million in 2024, and $622 million in 2025 and thereafter.

A roll forward of the gross carrying amounts and related accumulated amortization of the Company's other intangible assets is presented below:

 \( ^{2} \)  As a result of an evaluation of the underlying technologies and management of the business subsequent to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, the Company reduced the useful life of certain intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2020 as they no longer provided future economic benefit. This resulted in accelerated amortization expense of $38 million and the removal of the related gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of these assets.

## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

borrowings under these facilities, which are reported in Notes payable and short-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 1.7% and 2.5%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all borrowings outstanding, including the effects of outstanding swaps, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 2.8%.

On October 5, 2020, the Company completed its offer to exchange approximately $800 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.000% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "DT Notes"). Approximately $776 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding DT Notes, representing 97% of the $800 million total outstanding principal amount of the DT Notes, were validly exchanged and cancelled for new BorgWarner notes. Following such cancellation, approximately $24 million in aggregate principal amount of the DT Notes remain outstanding. Since the majority of the DT Notes were exchanged, the Company was able to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and events of default not related to payment on the $800 million in outstanding senior notes of the Company. The DT Notes are reflected at their fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The fair value step-up was calculated based on observable market data and will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining life of the instrument using the effective interest method. Refer to Note 2, "Acquisitions," for additional information related to the Delphi Technologies acquisition.

On June 19, 2020, in anticipation of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies and to refinance the Company's $250 million in 4.625% senior notes due in September 2020, the Company issued $1.1 billion in 2.650% senior notes due July 2027. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year. These senior notes are not guaranteed by any of the Company's subsidiaries.

Annual principal payments required as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:

<table><tr><td colspan="3">(in millions)</td></tr><tr><td>2021</td><td>$</td><td>49</td></tr><tr><td>2022</td><td></td><td>615</td></tr><tr><td>2023</td><td></td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>2024</td><td></td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>2025</td><td></td><td>1,302</td></tr><tr><td>After 2025</td><td></td><td>1,726</td></tr><tr><td>Total payments</td><td>$</td><td>3,698</td></tr><tr><td>Add: unamortized premiums, net of discount</td><td></td><td>89</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td></td><td>$3,787</td></tr></table>

The Company's long-term debt includes various covenants, none of which are expected to restrict future operations.

On March 13, 2020, the Company amended its multi-currency revolving credit facility, by increasing the size of the facility from $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion and by extending the maturity until March 13, 2025. The multi-currency revolving credit agreement automatically increased to $2.0 billion upon the closing of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies on October 1, 2020. Additionally, the agreement allows the Company the ability to increase the facility by $1.0 billion with bank group approval. The credit agreement contains customary events of default and one key financial covenant, which is a debt-to-EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenant at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

The Company's commercial paper program allows the Company to issue $2.0 billion of short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes under the limits of its multi-currency revolving credit facility. The



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

commercial paper program automatically increased to $2.0 billion upon the closing of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies on October 1, 2020. Under this program, the Company may issue notes from time to time and use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this program as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The total current combined borrowing capacity under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program cannot exceed $2.0 billion.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the estimated fair values of the Company's senior unsecured notes totaled $4,052 million and $2,025 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $332 million higher than carrying value at December 31, 2020 and $106 million higher than their carrying value at December 31, 2019. Fair market values of the senior unsecured notes are developed using observable values for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820. The carrying values of the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program approximate fair value. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $33 million and $28 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.

## NOTE 16 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC Topic 820:

A. Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.

B. Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

C. Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

The following tables classify assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(a) In 2019, a BorgWarner defined benefit plan in the United Kingdom, purchased an insurance contract that guarantees payment of specified pension liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of the insurance asset by projecting expected future cash flows from the contract and discounting them to present value based on current market rates, including an assessment for non-performance risk of the insurance company. The assumptions used to project expected future cash flows are based on actuarial estimates and are unobservable; therefore, the contract is categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

(b) Certain assets that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. These amounts represent investments in commingled and managed funds which have underlying assets in fixed income securities, equity securities, and other assets.

## NOTE 17 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their book value approximates their fair value. The Company’s financial instruments may include long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swaps, commodity derivative contracts and foreign currency derivative contracts. All derivative contracts are placed with counterparties that have an S&P, or equivalent, investment grade credit rating at the time of the contracts’ placement. An adjustment for non-performance risk is considered in the estimate of fair value in derivative assets based on the counterparty credit default swap (“CDS”) rate. When the Company is in a net derivative liability position, the non-performance risk adjustment is based on its CDS rate. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no derivative contracts that contained credit-risk-related contingent features.

The Company uses certain commodity derivative contracts to protect against commodity price changes related to forecasted raw material and component purchases. The Company had no material outstanding commodity contracts at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company primarily utilizes forward and option contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to optimize its interest costs. The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges). At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps.



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to protect against exchange rate movements for forecasted cash flows, including capital expenditures, purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. In addition, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposure associated with its net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). The Company has also designated its Euro-denominated debt as a net investment hedge of the Company’s investment in a European subsidiary. Foreign currency derivative contracts require the Company, at a future date, to either buy or sell foreign currency in exchange for the operating units’ local currency. The following foreign currency derivative contracts were outstanding:

The Company selectively uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with our net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). In December 2019, the Company terminated its $250 million cross-currency swap contract originally maturing in September 2020, and executed a $500 million cross-currency swap contract to mature in March 2025, resulting in cash proceeds of $23 million and a deferred gain of $21 million that is expected to remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the following cross-currency swap contracts were outstanding:

Effectiveness for cash flow hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly, thereafter. Gains and losses arising from these contracts that are included in the assessment of effectiveness are deferred into accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are recognized. These realized gains or losses offset the hedged transaction and are recorded on the same line in the statement of operations. The initial value of any component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness will be recognized in income using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in income under that systematic and rational method will be recognized in AOCI.

Effectiveness for net investment hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly, thereafter. Gains and losses arising from these contracts that are included in the assessment of effectiveness are deferred into foreign currency translation adjustments and only released when the subsidiary being hedged is sold or substantially liquidated. The initial value of any component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness will be recognized in income using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in income under that systematic and rational method will be recognized in AOCI.

The table below shows deferred gains (losses) reported in AOCI as well as the amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less. The amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less assumes no change in the current relationship of the hedged item at December 31, 2020 market rates.

## NOTE 18 RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors various defined contribution savings plans, primarily in the U.S., that allow employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax and/or after-tax income in accordance with plan specified guidelines. Under specified conditions, the Company will make contributions to the plans and/or match a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits. Total expense related to the defined contribution plans was $38 million, $37 million and $35 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement employee benefit plans covering eligible salaried and hourly employees and their dependents. The defined pension benefits provided are primarily based on (i) years of service and (ii) average compensation or a monthly retirement benefit amount. The Company provides defined benefit pension plans in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Sweden, U.K. and the U.S. The other postretirement employee benefit plans, which provide medical benefits, are unfunded plans. Our U.S. and U.K. defined benefit plans are frozen, and no additional service cost is being accrued. All pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans in the U.S. have been closed to new employees. The measurement date for all plans is December 31.

On October 1, 2020, as a result of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, the Company assumed all of the retirement-related liabilities of Delphi Technologies, the most significant of which is the Delphi Technologies Pension Scheme (the "Scheme") in the United Kingdom. On December 12, 2020, the Company entered into a Heads of Terms Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Trustees of the Scheme related to the future funding of the Scheme. Under the Agreement, the Company eliminated the prior schedule of contributions between Delphi Technologies and the Scheme in exchange for a $137 million (£100 million) one-time contribution into the Scheme Plan by December 31, 2020, which was paid on December 15, 2020. The Agreement also contained other provisions regarding the implementation of a revised asset investment strategy as well as a funding progress test that will be performed every three years to determine if additional contributions need to be made into the Scheme by the Company. At this time, the Company anticipates that no additional contributions will be made into the Scheme until 2026 at the earliest.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company settled approximately $50 million of its U.S. pension projected benefit obligation by liquidating approximately $50 million in plan assets through a lump-sum disbursement made to an insurance company. Pursuant to this agreement, the insurance company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees all future payments to certain participants that were receiving payments from the U.S. pension plan. The insurance company assumed all investment risk associated with the assets that were delivered as part of this transaction. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company discharged certain U.S. pension plan obligations by making lump-sum payments of $15 million to former employees of the Company. As a result, the Company



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

settled $65 million of projected benefit obligation by liquidating pension plan assets and recorded a non-cash settlement loss of $27 million related to the accelerated recognition of unamortized losses.

The following table summarizes the expenses for the Company’s defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans and the other postretirement defined employee benefit plans:

The Company's investment strategy is to maintain actual asset weightings within a preset range of target allocations. The Company believes these ranges represent an appropriate risk profile for the planned benefit payments of the plans based on the timing of the estimated benefit payments. In each asset category, separate portfolios are maintained for additional diversification. Investment managers are retained in each asset category to manage each portfolio against its benchmark. Each investment manager has appropriate investment guidelines. In addition, the entire portfolio is evaluated against a relevant peer group. The defined benefit pension plans did not hold any Company securities as investments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. A portion of pension assets is invested in common and commingled trusts.

The Company expects to contribute a total of $20 million to $30 million into its defined benefit pension plans during 2021. Of the $20 million to $30 million in projected 2021 contributions, $6 million are contractually obligated, while any remaining payments would be discretionary.

Refer to Note 16, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail surrounding the fair value of each major category of plan assets, as well as the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the fair value measurements of the plans’ assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component are included in Other postretirement income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The estimated net loss for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year is $17 million. The estimated net loss and prior service credit for the other postretirement employee benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $1 million and $3 million, respectively.

The Company’s approach to establishing the discount rate is based upon the market yields of high-quality corporate bonds, with appropriate consideration of each plan’s defined benefit payment terms and duration of the liabilities. In determining the discount rate, the Company utilizes a full-yield approach in the estimation of service and interest components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows.

The Company determines its expected return on plan asset assumptions by evaluating estimates of future market returns and the plans' asset allocation. The Company also considers the impact of active management of the plans' invested assets.

## NOTE 19 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has granted restricted common stock and restricted stock units (collectively, "restricted stock") and performance share units as long-term incentive awards to employees and non-employee directors under the BorgWarner Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan ("2018 Plan"). The Company's Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Plan in February 2018, and the Company's stockholders approved the 2018 Plan at the annual meeting of stockholders on April 25, 2018. The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of a total of 7 million shares, of which approximately 5 million shares were available for future issuance as of December 31, 2020.

Restricted Stock The value of restricted stock is determined by the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. In 2020, restricted stock in the amount of 778,954 shares and 30,674 shares was granted to employees and non-employee directors, respectively. As defined in the Transaction Agreement, Delphi Technologies’ restricted stock unit awards outstanding were either converted to BorgWarner restricted stock for all continuing employees or settled in cash for certain executives. The value of the awards is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the restriction periods. As of December 31, 2020, there was $37 million of unrecognized compensation expense that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.

Restricted stock compensation expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:

Performance share units: The Company grants performance share units to members of senior management that vest at the end of three-year periods based on the following metrics:

- Total Stockholder Return Units: This performance metric is based on the Company’s performance in terms of total shareholder return relative to a peer group of automotive companies. Based on the Company’s relative ranking within the performance peer group, it is possible for none of the awards to vest or for a range up to 200% of the target shares to vest.

The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to its performance share plans ratably over the performance period regardless of whether the market conditions are expected to be achieved. Compensation expense associated with the performance share plans is calculated using a lattice model (Monte Carlo simulation).

As of December 31, 2020, there was $5 million of unrecognized compensation expense that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years.

- Relative Revenue Growth Units: This performance metric is based on the Company’s performance in terms of revenue growth relative to the vehicle market over three-year performance periods. Based on the Company’s relative revenue growth in excess of the industry vehicle production, it is possible for none of the awards to vest or for a range up to 200% of the target shares to vest.

The value of this performance share award is determined by the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to its performance share plans over the performance period based on the number of shares expected to vest at the end of each reporting period. The actual performance of the Company is evaluated quarterly and the expense is adjusted according to the new projections.

As of December 31, 2020, there was $5 million of unrecognized compensation expense that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years. The unrecognized amount of compensation expense is based on projected performance as of December 31, 2020.



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

- Adjusted Earnings Per Share Units: Introduced in the first quarter of 2020, this performance metric is based on the Company’s earnings per share adjusted for certain one-time items and non-operating gains and losses against a pre-defined target measured in the third year of the performance period.

The value of this performance share award is determined by the adjusted earnings per share performance. The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to its performance share plans over the performance period based on the number of shares expected to vest at the end of each reporting period. The actual performance of the Company is evaluated quarterly, and the expense is adjusted according to the new projections.

As of December 31, 2020, there was $3 million of unrecognized compensation expense that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

## NOTE 21 CONTINGENCIES

The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. In the normal course of business, the Company is also party to various other commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these other commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company's management does not expect that an adverse outcome in any of these other commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows, although it could be material to the results of operations in a particular quarter.

## Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws. The PRPs may currently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 26 and 14 such sites as of December 31,



## NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

2020 and 2019, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 12 of these sites were acquired as part of the Delphi Technologies acquisition. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

The Company has an accrual for environmental liabilities of $7 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This accrual is based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; and remediation alternatives).

## Asbestos-related Liability

Like many other industrial companies that have historically operated in the United States, the Company, or parties that the Company is obligated to indemnify, has been named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions. Morse TEC, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the obligor for the Company's recorded asbestos-related liabilities and the policyholder of the related insurance assets.

## Derecognition of Morse TEC

On October 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Enstar. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred 100% of the equity interests of Morse TEC to Enstar. In connection with this transfer, the Company contributed approximately $172 million in cash to Morse TEC. As Morse TEC was the obligor for the Company's asbestos-related liabilities and policyholder of the related insurance assets, the rights and obligations related to these items transferred upon the sale, and pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Morse TEC indemnifies the Company and its affiliates for asbestos-related liabilities as more specifically described in the Purchase Agreement. This indemnification obligation with respect to Asbestos-Related Liabilities (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement) are not subject to any cap or time limitation. Following the completion of this transfer, the Company has no obligation with respect to previously recorded asbestos-related liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2019, in accordance with ASC Topic 810 this subsidiary was derecognized as the Company ceased to control the entity, and the Company removed the associated assets and liabilities from the Consolidated Balance Sheet, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $177 million. In addition, the Company recorded tax expense as a result of the reversal of the previously recorded deferred tax assets related to the asbestos liabilities of $173 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $4 million.

The Company had certain insurance coverage applicable to asbestos-related claims. The rights to this insurance were transferred with Morse TEC upon the sale of its membership interests. Prior to the derecognition, the coverage was the subject of litigation that remained pending at the time of the derecognition.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid $38 million and $46 million, respectively, in asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs. Asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs are reflected in the Company's operating cash flows.

## 2019

Prior to the derecognition of Morse TEC, the Company reviewed its own experience in handling asbestos-related claims and trends affecting asbestos-related claims in the U.S. tort system generally for the purposes of assessing the value of pending asbestos-related claims and the number and value of those that may be asserted in the future, as well as potential recoveries from the Company's insurance carriers with respect to such claims and defense costs.

As part of its review and assessment of asbestos-related claims, the Company utilized a third-party actuary to further assist in the analysis of potential future asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs. The actuary's work utilized data and analysis resulting from the Company's claim review process, including input from national coordinating counsel and local counsel, and included the development of an estimate of the potential value of asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved as well as the number and potential value of asbestos-related claims not yet asserted. In developing the estimate of liability for potential future claims, the actuary projected a potential number of future claims based on the Company's historical claim filings and patterns and compared that to anticipated levels of unique plaintiff asbestos-related claims asserted in the U.S. tort system against all defendants. The actuary also utilized assumptions based on the Company's historical proportion of claims resolved without payment, historical claim resolution costs for those claims that result in a payment, and historical defense costs. The liabilities were estimated by multiplying the pending and projected future claim filings by projected payments rates and average claim resolution amounts and then adding an estimate for defense costs.

The Company determined based on the factors described above, including the analysis and input of the actuary, its best estimate of the aggregate liability both for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential asbestos-related claims not yet asserted, including estimated defense costs. This liability reflected the actuarial central estimate, which was intended to represent an expected value of the most probable outcome.

The Company's estimate of asbestos-related claim resolution costs and associated defense costs was not discounted to present value and included an estimate of liability for potential future claims not yet asserted through December 31, 2064 with a runoff through 2074. The Company believed that December 31, 2074 was a reasonable assumption as to the last date on which it was likely to have resolved all asbestos-related claims, based on the nature and useful life of the Company's products and the likelihood of incidence of asbestos-related disease in the U.S. population generally.



During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an increase to its asbestos-related liabilities of $23 million as a result of actuarial valuation changes. This increase was the result of higher future defense costs resulting from recent trends in the ratio of defense costs to claim resolution costs.

The Company’s estimate of the claim resolution costs and associated defense costs for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential claims not yet asserted was its reasonable best estimate of such costs. Such estimate was subject to numerous uncertainties. The balances recorded for asbestos-related claims were based on the best available information and assumptions that the Company believed to be reasonable, but those assumptions may change over time.

On July 31, 2018, the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) informed the Company that it was conducting an investigation related to the Company’s historical accounting for asbestos-related claims not yet asserted. The Company fully cooperated with the SEC in connection with its investigation. On August 26, 2020, the SEC announced a settlement with the Company that fully resolved its investigation. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s charges, the Company agreed to the entry of a cease and desist pursuant to the reporting, books and records, and internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with the Company’s historical accounting for unasserted asbestos-related claims from 2012 to 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid a civil penalty of approximately $1 million.

## Purported Derivative Lawsuit

On December 15, 2020, a putative derivative lawsuit captioned Nyiradi, et al. v. Michas, et al., Case 1:20-cv-01700, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against certain former and current directors and former officers of BorgWarner. The lawsuit, which is purportedly brought on the Company’s behalf, names BorgWarner as a nominal defendant. Plaintiffs allege, among other things, violations of the federal securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duty relating to the Company’s past accounting for incurred but not yet asserted asbestos liabilities and its public disclosures. As a nominal defendant, the Company has no direct exposure in connection with the lawsuit.

## NOTE 22 LEASES AND COMMITMENTS

The Company’s lease agreements primarily consist of real estate property, such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office buildings, in addition to personal property, such as vehicles, manufacturing and information technology equipment. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. The majority of the Company’s lease arrangements are comprised of fixed payments and a limited number of these arrangements include a variable payment component based on certain index fluctuations. As of December 31, 2020, a significant portion of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases.

Generally, the Company’s operating leases have renewal options that extend the lease terms and some include options to terminate the agreement or purchase the leased asset. The amortizable life of these assets is the lesser of its useful life or the lease term, including renewal periods reasonably assured of being exercised at lease inception.

All leases with an initial term of 12 months or less without an option to extend or purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded operating lease costs of $29 million and $24 million, respectively, primarily in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The operating cash flows for operating leases were $29 million and $24 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded short-term lease costs of $21 million and $18 million, respectively, primarily in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.



Under the previous lease accounting standard, total rent expense was $42 million in the year ended December 31, 2018.

Finance lease costs and related cash flows were immaterial for the periods presented.

ASC Topic 842 requires that the rate implicit in the lease be used if readily determinable. Generally, implicit rates are not readily determinable in the Company’s agreements, and the incremental borrowing rate is used for each lease arrangement. The incremental borrowing rates are determined using rates specific to the term of the lease, economic environments where lease activity is concentrated, value of lease portfolio, and assuming full collateralization of the loans. The following table presents the terms and discount rates:

## NOTE 23 EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. by the weighted average shares for common stock and common equivalent stock outstanding during the reporting period.

The dilutive impact of stock-based compensation is calculated using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the assumed proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future, and compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized. The dilutive effects of performance-based stock awards described in Note 19, "Stock-Based Compensation," to the Consolidated Financial Statements are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share at the level the related performance criteria are met through the respective balance sheet date. There were 480,548 of performance share units excluded from the computation of the diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020 because the related performance criteria had not been met as of the balance sheet date.

As a result of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, approximately 37 million shares were issued at October 1, 2020, which resulted in dilution of approximately 9 million shares on a year-to-date basis.

## NOTE 24 REPORTING SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

Following the Delphi Technologies acquisition, in order to align with the manner in which the business is viewed and managed subsequent to the acquisition, the Company reorganized its management reporting structure. Previously, the Company reported its results under two reporting segments, Engine and Drivetrain, which are now combined for reporting purposes with portions of the acquired business and referred to as Air Management and e-Propulsion & Drivetrain, respectively. The former Delphi Technologies Powertrain Products segment was integrated into the Air Management segment, and the former Delphi Technologies Electronics & Electrification segment was integrated into the e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment. The remaining Delphi Technologies segments comprise two additional reporting segments, which are referred to as Fuel Injection and Aftermarket. Segment information for periods prior to the Delphi Technologies acquisition do not include amounts related to the Delphi Technologies operations. In summary, the Company's business is aggregated into four reporting segments which are further described below. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.

- Air Management. This segment develops and manufactures products to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance performance. The Air Management segment’s technologies include: turbochargers, eBoosters, eTurbos, timing systems, emissions systems, thermal systems, gasoline ignition technology, smart remote actuators, powertrain sensors, canisters, cabin heaters, battery heaters and battery charging.

- e-Propulsion & Drivetrain. This segment develops and manufactures products to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance performance in combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles. The e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment's technologies include: rotating electrical components, power electronics, control modules, software, friction and mechanical products for automatic transmissions and torque management products.

- Fuel Injection. This segment includes gasoline and diesel fuel injection components and systems. The gasoline fuel injection portfolio includes a full suite of fuel injection technologies – including pumps, injectors, fuel rail assemblies and complete systems – that deliver greater efficiency for traditional and hybrid vehicles with gasoline combustion engines.

- Aftermarket. Through this segment the Company sells products and services to independent aftermarket customers and original equipment service customers. The aftermarket product portfolio includes a wide range of solutions covering the fuel injection, electronics and engine management, maintenance, and test equipment and vehicle diagnostics categories.

The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital (“ROIC”) of its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Segment Adjusted EBIT after deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required. Segment Adjusted EBIT is comprised of earnings before interest, income taxes and noncontrolling interest (“EBIT”) adjusted for restructuring, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, impairment charges, affiliates’ earnings and other items not reflective of on-going operating income or loss.

Segment Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. The Company believes Segment Adjusted EBIT is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our reporting segments. The following tables show segment information and Segment Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments:

# NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

## NOTE 26 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On February 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Agreement") with AKASOL AG ("AKASOL"). As part of the agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will launch a voluntary public takeover offer at €120.00 per share in cash for all outstanding shares of AKASOL, which values 100% of AKASOL's equity at approximately €727 million. Holders of approximately 59% of AKASOL's outstanding shares have committed through Irrevocable Undertakings to accept the offer with respect to their shares. The Company anticipates that the transaction will be funded primarily with existing cash balances and potentially some incremental debt. Pursuant to the Agreement and to satisfy certain cash confirmation requirements in support of the acquisition pursuant to German law, on February 19, 2021, the Company entered into a $900 million, 364-day delayed draw term loan facility that is expected to remain undrawn. The transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and receipt of regulatory approvals.

## Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable.

## Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

## Disclosure Controls and Procedures

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. However, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

## Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). As permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission guidance, management excluded from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting Delphi



Technologies PLC which was acquired on October 1, 2020 and accounted for approximately 27% of consolidated total assets and 11% of consolidated net sales of the Company, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company's consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 as stated in its report included herein.

## Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over the financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

## Item 9B. Other Information

## Delayed-draw term loan facility

On February 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders, providing for a 364-day, $900 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility is intended to support the Company’s potential financing needs with respect to its proposed acquisition of AKASOL AG (“AKASOL”) and the related voluntary public takeover offer for AKASOL shares. As previously reported, the Company currently anticipates that the proposed acquisition will be funded primarily with existing cash balances and potentially some incremental debt. Pursuant to the agreements relating to the proposed acquisition, the Company is required to obtain a confirmation from a securities services enterprise independent from the Company that the Company and its subsidiary that would effect the proposed acquisition will have sufficient liquidity to fund the completion of the voluntary public takeover offer for the purpose of satisfying German law requirements relating to the offer. No borrowings were made at the closing of the Credit Agreement, and the Company expects the Credit Facility to remain undrawn.

The commitments of the lenders under the Credit Facility will terminate (a) if the proposed acquisition of AKASOL is not consummated and (b) no later than February 18, 2022. Outstanding loans under the Credit Facility, if any, must be mandatorily repaid upon the receipt of proceeds from certain capital markets transactions and from certain asset sales outside the ordinary course of business.

Interest under the Credit Facility accrues at varying rates based upon the type of borrowing under the Credit Facility and the rating by certain specified rating agencies of the Company’s outstanding unsecured senior indebtedness as of the applicable date of borrowing. The Credit Agreement includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00. Upon the closing of certain acquisitions, the Company, at its option, may temporarily increase the consolidated leverage ratio to 3.75 to 1.00.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross defaults to similar obligations, customary ERISA defaults, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults or a change in control of the Company. Under the Credit Agreement, an event of default can only occur if a borrowing is outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement also contains customary provisions permitting the lenders



to terminate their commitments and accelerate the repayment of all loans outstanding under the Credit Facility during an event of default.

None of the Company or any of its affiliates has a material relationship with any lender in the Credit Facility other than in respect of the Credit Facility, the Company’s other credit facilities, and other customary banking relationships.

## Revision of previously disclosed information

Certain amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included in this filing differ from the corresponding amounts that the Company disclosed in the press release that it issued on February 11, 2021 as set forth below. In the course of finalizing the financial statements and completing related year-end controls, the Company identified and recorded adjustments related to the reclassification of certain balance sheet and cash flow items. These adjustments primarily related to the purchase accounting for the acquisition of Delphi Technologies.

Such officers, directors and persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file with the SEC.

One Form 4 was filed one business day late on behalf of each of Mr. Kevin Nowlan and Dr. Volker Weng due to delays attributable to the Company. Otherwise, based on information provided to the Company by each director and executive officer, the Company believes all beneficial ownership reports required to be filed in 2020 were timely.

Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimates,” “evaluates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “guidance,” “initiative,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “project,” “pursue,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “when,” “will,” “would,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Further, all statements, other than statements of historical fact contained or incorporated by reference in this document that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future regarding our financial position, business strategy and measures to implement that strategy, including changes to operations, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. Accounting estimates, such as those described under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“Form 10-K”), are inherently forward-looking. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance, and the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, among others, include: uncertainties regarding the extent and duration of impacts of matters associated with COVID-19, including additional production disruptions; the failure to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC that the Company completed on October 1, 2020 or other acquisition transactions; the possibility that pending acquisition transactions will not be consummated; the failure to promptly and effectively integrate acquired businesses; the potential for unknown or inestimable liabilities relating to acquired businesses; our dependence on automotive and truck production, both of which are highly cyclical and subject to disruptions; our reliance on major OEM customers; commodities availability and pricing; supply disruptions; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; availability of credit; our dependence on key management; our dependence on information systems; the uncertainty of the global economic environment; the outcome of existing or any future legal proceedings, including litigation with respect to various claims; future changes in laws and regulations, including, by way of example, tariffs, in the countries in which we operate; impacts from any potential future acquisition or divestiture transactions; and the other risks, including by way of example, pandemics and quarantines, noted in reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our most recently-filed Form 10-K. We do not undertake any obligation to update or announce publicly any updates to or revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, circumstances, or assumptions underlying the statements.
