Business
|
•
|
AAM received the 2017 and 2016 GM Supplier of the Year Award, which is awarded to suppliers that consistently exceed GM's expectations, create outstanding value or bring new innovations to GM.
|
•
|
We also received Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) Supplier Excellence award for AAM's contribution to their business, cost transformation and operational delivery during 2017.
|
•
|
During 2018, we launched more than 50 programs across our four business units, supporting a variety of customers including Ford, JLR and Mercedes-AMG. In 2019, we expect to launch approximately 50 new and replacement programs across our business units.
|
•
|
We continue to focus on cost management through the implementation of the AAM Operating System to improve quality, eliminate waste and reduce lead time and total costs globally.
|
•
|
We have established a cost competitive, operationally flexible global manufacturing, engineering and sourcing footprint to increase our presence in global growth markets, support global product development initiatives and establish regional cost competitiveness.
|
•
|
Our business is vertically integrated to reduce cost and mitigate risk in the supply chain. Our acquisitions of MPG and USM Mexico Manufacturing LLC (USM Mexico) in 2017 furthered our efforts to vertically integrate the supply chain and helped ensure continuity of supply for certain parts to our largest manufacturing facility.
|
•
|
In 2018, we had five facilities in the United States, one facility in China and one facility in South Korea awarded the GM Supplier Quality Excellence Award for outstanding quality performance during the 2017 performance year. For our Changshu Manufacturing Facility in China, it was the fourth consecutive year that they earned this award.
|
•
|
Our Fraser and Royal Oak, Michigan facilities were awarded the FCA Outstanding Quality Award in 2018 for the 2017 performance year.
|
•
|
Also in 2018, our Suzhou Manufacturing Facility in China was recognized with Ford's Q1 Award, which recognizes suppliers who consistently deliver exceptional quality and Chery International's 2017 Excellent Quality Performance Supplier Award.
|
•
|
Several other facilities were recognized for outstanding quality performance by OEMs such as Daimler, Honda and JLR.
|
•
|
AAM has an enhanced internal quality assurance system that drives continuous improvement to meet and exceed the growing expectations of our OEM customers.
|
•
|
In our Driveline segment, AAM's significant investment in research and development (R&D) has resulted in the development of advanced technology products designed to assist our customers in meeting the market demands for improved fuel efficiency; lower emissions; enhanced power density; advanced, sophisticated electronic controls; improved safety, ride and handling performance; and enhanced reliability and durability.
|
•
|
e-AAM was created to design and commercialize battery electric and hybrid driveline systems designed to improve fuel efficiency, reduce CO
2
emissions and provide AWD capability. To date, e-AAM has
|
•
|
AAM's EcoTrac
®
Disconnecting AWD system is a fuel-efficient driveline system that provides OEMs the option of an all-wheel-drive system that disconnects when not needed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO
2
emissions compared to conventional AWD systems. In 2018, AAM launched the next generation of our EcoTrac
®
Disconnecting AWD system (EcoTrac
®
Gen II), which is smaller, lighter in weight and more efficient. This technology is featured on several significant global crossover platforms, including GM's Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain, FCA's AWD Jeep Cherokee and its derivatives, as well as the Cadillac XT4 and the Ford Edge.
|
•
|
AAM has established a high-efficiency product portfolio that is designed to improve axle efficiency and fuel economy through innovative product design technologies. Our high-efficiency axles are featured on several premium OEM vehicles, including Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar Land Rover. As our customers focus on reducing weight through the use of aluminum and other lightweighting alternatives, AAM is well positioned to offer innovative, industry leading solutions. Our portfolio includes high-efficiency axles, aluminum axles and AWD applications for hybrid electric vehicles to full-electric vehicles. AAM's Quantum
TM
lightweight axle technology features a revolutionary design, which offers significant mass reduction and increased fuel economy and efficiency that is scalable across multiple applications without loss of performance or power. During 2018, AAM's Quantum
TM
lightweight axle technology received multiple awards, including the inaugural Future of Lightweighting Altair Enlighten Award and the inaugural Society of Automotive Analysts' Lightweighting Innovation Award.
|
•
|
In our Powertrain segment, we have identified opportunities to apply our high strength connecting rod technology and refined vibration control systems to support hybrid powertrain systems and power dense four cylinder and three cylinder engines that are smaller in size. Also in our Powertrain segment, our Subiaco Manufacturing Facility has been recognized by the Metal Powder Industries Federation with a 2018 Powder Metallurgy Design Award of Distinction.
|
•
|
In our Metal Forming segment, we have developed forged axle tubes, which deliver significant weight and cost reductions as compared to the traditional welded axle tubes. These forged axle tubes are expected to enter production on a program for a major OEM customer in 2019.
|
•
|
Our Casting segment has developed patented high strength ductile iron called Ductile - ITE
™
, which provides the potential to reduce mass by up to 20% while providing greater overall strength. Also in our Casting segment, we have identified an opportunity to begin utilizing three-dimensional printed sand cores in our production process, which has the potential to reduce costs and floor space requirements.
|
•
|
AAM's Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) at our Detroit campus, allows us to accelerate technological advancements. This state-of-the-art facility is our center for technology benchmarking, prototype development, advanced technology development, supplier collaboration, customer showcasing and associate training on our future products, processes, and systems.
|
•
|
In addition to maintaining and building upon our longstanding relationships with GM and FCA, we are focused on generating profitable growth with new and existing global customers. New business launches in
2018
included key customers such as Ford, JLR and Mercedes-AMG.
|
•
|
We are working on approximately
$1.5 billion
in quoted and emerging new business opportunities. These opportunities would allow us to continue the diversification and expansion of our customer base, product portfolio and global footprint.
|
•
|
We continue to evaluate and consider strategic opportunities that will complement our core strengths and supplement our diversification strategies while providing future, profitable growth prospects. Our
|
•
|
As our customers design their products for global markets, they will continue to require global support from their suppliers. For this reason, it is critical that we maintain a global presence in these markets in order to remain competitive for new contracts. As a result of our acquisition of MPG, we have expanded our global presence, primarily in Asia and Europe.
|
•
|
In 2018, we entered into a new joint venture (JV) with Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Industry Co., Ltd. (Liuzhou Wuling), a subsidiary of Guangxi Automotive Group Co., Ltd. This is in addition to our existing JV with Hefei Automobile Axle Co., Ltd. (HAAC), a subsidiary of the JAC Group (Anhui Jianghuai Automotive Group Co., Ltd.), which includes 100% of HAAC's light commercial axle business. Liuzhou Wuling manufactures independent rear axles and driveheads to be used on crossovers, including SUVs, minivans and multi-purposes vehicles and HAAC supplies front and rear beam axles to several leading Chinese light truck manufacturers, including JAC and Foton (Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd.). These joint ventures continue to be a strong advantage for building relationships with leading Chinese manufacturers.

(a)
|
We recorded a goodwill impairment charge in 2018 associated with the annual goodwill impairment test for our Powertrain and Casting segments.
|
(b)
|
In 2018, we completed the sale of the aftermarket business associated with our Powertrain segment for approximately $50 million, of which we received net proceeds of $47.1 million. As a result of the sale, we recorded a $15.5 million pre-tax gain.
|
(c)
|
In 2018, we reached a settlement agreement related to a capital lease obligation that we had recognized as a result of the acquisition of MPG. This settlement resulted in a pre-tax gain of $15.6 million, including accrued interest.
|
(d)
|
For 2018, these amounts include goodwill impairment charges of $400.3 million, net of tax, acquisition and integration related charges of $27.5 million, net of tax, asset impairment and plant closure costs of $25.7 million, net of tax, and implementation costs, including professional expenses, relating to restructuring of $9.2 million, net of tax. For 2017, these amounts include acquisition and integration related charges of $56.0 million, net of tax, asset impairment and plant closure costs of $2.3 million, net of tax, and implementation costs, including professional expenses, relating to restructuring of $9.0 million, net of tax. For 2016, these amounts include acquisition and integration related charges of $7.1 million, net of tax, asset impairment and plant closure costs of $4.7 million and implementation costs, including professional expenses, relating to restructuring of $6.6 million, net of tax.
|
(e)
|
Includes charges of $15.3 million, net of tax, in 2018, $2.3 million, net of tax, in 2017 and $0.5 million, net of tax, in 2015 related to debt refinancing and redemption costs.
|
(f)
|
Includes a settlement charge of $23.1 million, net of tax, related to our terminated vested lump-sum pension payout in the U.S.
|
(g)
|
Each of these amounts have been adjusted by $25.8 million, net of tax, related to the retrospective application of our change in accounting principle for indirect inventory, in which we changed our method of accounting from capitalizing indirect inventory and recording as expense when the inventory was consumed, to expensing indirect inventory at the time of purchase. This change in accounting principle was effective in the second quarter of 2017.

If the Participant’s Beneficiary, estate or legal representative fails to notify the Management Benefits Committee of the death of the Participant in the manner specified in Section 10.9, such that the Company is unable to make timely payment hereunder, then the Company shall not be treated as in breach of the Plan and shall not be liable to the Beneficiary, estate or legal representative for any losses, damages, or other claims resulting from such late payment.

10.4.
|
Compliance with Section 409A of the Code

The Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner that affects such intent. Neither the Company, any other member of the Company Group nor any Committee guarantees or provides any warranties with respect to the tax treatment of amounts deferred under the Plan. Neither the Company, any other member of the Company Group, the Board, any director, officer, employee and advisor, nor any Committee (nor its designee) shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by any Participant, Beneficiary or other taxpayer as a result of the Plan.

provided
,
however
, that an election by the Company to not reduce any such payment shall not constitute a waiver of its claim for such indebtedness or obligation.
|
10.6.
|
Not a Contract of Employment

No severance benefits shall be payable under the Plan unless the Participant’s employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant’s resignation with Good Reason (a “
Qualifying Event
”). For the avoidance of doubt, if in connection with a
transaction or series or combination of transactions (i) a Participant’s employment transfers to an acquiror or its affiliate or (ii) a Participant is offered a comparable position with an acquiror or its affiliate with a level of compensation no less than and benefits comparable to that enjoyed by the Participant immediately prior to the closing of the applicable transaction, then a termination from the Company Group shall not constitute a Qualifying Event for purposes of the Plan. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Company Change in Control Plan), the Company Change in Control Plan or, if applicable, the terms provided under the Participant’s employment agreement, shall apply.
|
6.2
|
Upon a Qualifying Event, subject to the provisions of the Plan (including compliance with the Restrictive Covenants) and timely execution and nonrevocation of a Release, the Participant shall receive the following benefits:
|
(a)
|
Severance
. A cash amount equal to the Participant’s Base Salary plus Bonus multiplied by the applicable Severance Multiple, payable in a lump sum on the 60th day following the Date of Separation;
|
(b)
|
Annual Bonus
. Any unpaid annual bonus for any completed performance year immediately preceding the year in which the Qualifying Event occurs as determined based on actual performance, payable to the Participant on the date such bonus would have been paid had the Participant remained employed with the Company, but in no event later than March 15th of the year in which the Qualifying Event occurs, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in an applicable plan or award document;
|
(c)
|
Pro rata Annual Bonus
. A cash amount equal to the annual bonus for the performance year in which the Qualifying Event occurs, determined based on actual performance and then prorated based on the number of days in such performance year elapsed through the date of the Qualifying Event, payable to the Participant on the date such bonus would have been paid had the Participant remained employed with the Company, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the Qualifying Event occurs, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in an applicable plan or award document;
|
(d)
|
Medical Coverage
. Upon a Qualifying Event, the Participant (and his or her eligible dependents) shall be entitled to continued participation in the Company’s medical plans, as in effect from time to time, at then-existing participation and coverage levels for active similarly situated employees (the “
Benefit Continuation
”) for the number of months equal to 12 multiplied by the applicable Severance Multiple (the “
Severance Period”)
. In the event that such Benefit Continuation is not permitted or advisable or the Company, in its sole discretion, elects, in lieu of Benefit Continuation, the Company shall pay to the Participant a cash amount (in the Company’s determination) equal to the then-current difference between the Participant’s monthly medical insurance cost immediately prior to the applicable Qualifying Event and the monthly cost for COBRA multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Severance Period, payable in three separate semi-annual installments. Any obligation to provide Benefit Continuation or payment in lieu of such Benefit Continuation shall cease upon the earlier of (i) the Participant becoming eligible to receive group health benefits under a program of a subsequent employer or (ii) the Participant not complying with the provisions of this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant (and his or her eligible dependents) shall be responsible for paying all employee contributions, deductibles and other cost-sharing items under such plans. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be construed to impair or reduce a Participant’s rights under COBRA or other applicable law.
|

Outplacement
. The Participant shall be entitled to reimbursement for outplacement service costs incurred (which shall include appropriate itemization and substantiation of expenses incurred) during the period from the Participant’s Date of Separation through the end of the applicable Severance Period, subject to a maximum amount of $20,000;
provided
, that such claims for reimbursement are submitted to the Company within 90 days following the date of invoice.
|

|

|
Release and Restrictive Covenant
.
|
7.1
|
Release
. A Participant shall only be entitled to receive the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 if he or she shall have executed and delivered (and not revoked) a release of claims against the Company (and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, stockholders, etc.) substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B
(the
“Release”
), and such Release is in full force and effect by the 60th day following the Date of Separation. Should the Participant revoke all or any portion of the Release within any allowed revocation period, then the Participant will be treated hereunder as if he or she did not execute the Release.

provided
,
however
, that nothing herein shall limit the Participant’s right to own not more than 1% of any of the debt or equity securities of any business organization that is then filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (the
“Restrictive Covenant”
). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.2 are consideration for the Participant’s compliance with this Restrictive Covenant and (ii) the Restrictive Covenant shall be effective for the full Severance Period irrespective of whether any payments under Section 6.2 are terminated prior to the end of the Severance Period.
|
7.3
|
Breach
. If a Participant breaches any provision of the Release or the Restrictive Covenant, the Administrator may determine that the Participant (i) will forfeit any unpaid portion of the payments provided pursuant to
the
Plan and (ii) will repay to the Company any amounts previously paid to him or her pursuant to the Plan.
|
8.
|
No Funding
. Nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require the Company to segregate, earmark or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets to provide for any payments made hereunder. The rights of any Participant under the Plan shall be solely those of a general creditor of the Company. However, in the event the Company foresees payment under the Plan, the Company may deposit cash or property, or both, equal in value to all or a portion of the benefits anticipated to be payable hereunder for any or all Participants into a trust, the assets of which are to be distributed at such times as are otherwise provided for in the Plan and are subject to the rights of the general creditors of the Company.

It is intended that the terms “termination” and “termination of employment” as used herein shall constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.
|
10.2

|
10.3

In no event may a Participant be permitted to control the year in which any payment occurs.
|
10.4
|
Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, then any payment or benefit which would be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A that the Participant is entitled to receive upon the Participant’s termination of employment and which otherwise would be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of employment will instead be paid or made available on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s termination of employment (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).
|
10.5
|
With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A: (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year; and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Participant’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred, or such earlier date as required hereunder.
|

|
14.

The Plan supersedes in all respects any other severance benefit plans, arrangements or policies of the Company that apply to Participants upon a Qualifying Event, but does not supersede (i) employment agreements between an employee and the Company Group and (ii) to the extent applicable, the Company Executive Officer Change in Control Plan. No Participant shall be eligible to receive severance benefits under more than one severance arrangement of the Company (whether through an employment agreement or a benefit plan) at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Board reserve the right to adhere to other policies and practices that may be in effect for other groups of employees.
