WABCO HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

WABCO Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively WABCO, Company, we, or our) engineer, develop, manufacture and sell integrated systems controlling advanced braking, stability, suspension, steering, transmission automation, as well as air compression and processing primarily for commercial vehicles. WABCO’s largest selling products are pneumatic anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic braking systems (EBS), electronic stability control (ESC) systems, brake controls, automated manual transmission systems (AMT), air disc brakes and a large variety of conventional mechanical products such as actuators, air compressors and air control valves for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, buses and trailers. In addition, we supply commercial vehicle aftermarket distributors and service partners as well as fleet operators with replacement parts, fleet management solutions, diagnostic tools, training and other expert services. WABCO sells its products primarily to two groups of customers around the world: original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) including truck and bus, trailer, car and off-highway, and commercial vehicle aftermarket distributors of replacement parts and services as well as commercial vehicle fleet operators for management solutions and services. We also provide remanufacturing services globally.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial data have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As previously announced, on March 28, 2019, WABCO entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with ZF Friedrichshafen AG (ZF), a stock corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Verona Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ZF, pursuant to which ZF will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of WABCO common stock (the Merger). The Merger Agreement was adopted by WABCO’s shareholders at the June 27, 2019 special meeting of shareholders. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in early 2020. Due to the pending Merger, the Company has suspended previously announced changes to its internal reporting. The Company will maintain its current internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker and continue to operate as one reportable segment.

All majority-owned subsidiaries of WABCO are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements and intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. WABCO’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are included at cost plus its equity in undistributed earnings less dividends and changes in foreign currency in accordance with the equity method of accounting and reflected as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain amounts in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes thereto have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes 2 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, describe the most significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ materially from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the first six months of 2019.

NOTE 2.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), to simplify the accounting for share–based payments granted to nonemployees by aligning the accounting with the requirements for employee share–based compensation. ASU 2018-07 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2019. There was no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The standard allows for certain stranded tax effects within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, to be reclassified to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2018–02 as of January 1, 2019. There was a one–time reclassification of $8.4 million from AOCI to retained earnings related to the remeasurement of deferred taxes recorded in other comprehensive income based on the newly enacted corporate tax rate. Refer to Note 13 for additional detail regarding the components of the reclassification.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which aims at improving the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements, by expanding and refining hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligning the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017–12 as of January 1, 2019. There was no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 and subsequent amendments, collectively known as ASC 842 Leases. ASC 842 requires recognition of operating leases as lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and also requires the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The Company has elected to adopt ASC 842 by applying the modified transition method and has elected to use the effective date of January 1, 2019 as the initial date of application. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and did not elect the use of the hindsight practical expedient. As a result, the Company will continue to account for existing leases in accordance with previous accounting guidance throughout the entire lease term including periods after the effective date. The remeasurement or modification of a lease after the effective date requires application of the new guidance. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASU 2018-01 Land Easement and will apply previous judgments under previous guidance as to the recognition of land easements as a lease.
The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets of $110.1 million and operating lease liabilities of $111.2 million on the effective date. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated statement of operations or statement of cash flow. The accounting for finance leases under ASC 842 remained substantially unchanged from previous accounting guidance and are not material. See Note 11 for the disclosures required by ASC 842 and accounting policy information for leases.

Pending Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU removes the requirements to disclose: amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year; the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer; and the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates. The ASU requires disclosure of an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU removes the requirement to disclose: 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. The ASU requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and

10


losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard eliminates the requirement to measure the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all assets and liabilities within that unit (the Step 2 test) from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited by the amount of goodwill in that reporting unit. The standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and will be applied to any annual or interim goodwill impairment assessment after that date. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual impairment testing after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016–13 Financial Instruments–Credit Losses to replace the incurred loss model for financial assets measured at amortized cost and require entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

We do not expect the pending adoption of other recently issued accounting standards to have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company follows the guidance under ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018. Revenue under ASC 606 is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer, which is typically at a point in time. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved.

Sales to other regions includes revenues primarily from Japan, China, Brazil and India.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to performance obligations to be satisfied in the future. Contract assets and contract liabilities were not material as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 were not material. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

NOTE 6. Guaranteed Notes Receivable

The Company holds guaranteed notes receivable from reputable state owned and public enterprises in China that are settled through bankers acceptance drafts, which are registered and endorsed to the Company. These notes receivable are fully guaranteed by banks and generally have contractual maturities of six months or less, but the ultimate recourse remains against the trade debtor. These guaranteed drafts are available for discounting with banking institutions in China or transferring to suppliers to settle liabilities. The total amount of notes receivable discounted or transferred for the first six months of 2019 and 2018 were $122.6 million and $149.7 million, respectively. The expenses related to discounting were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The fair value of these guaranteed notes receivable is determined based on Level 2 inputs including credit ratings and other criteria observable in the market and was equal to their carrying amounts of $40.2 million and $44.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company monitors the credit quality of both the drawers of the drafts and guarantors on a monthly basis by reviewing various factors such as payment history, level of state involvement in the institution, size, national importance as well as current economic conditions in China. Since the Company has not experienced any historical losses nor is expecting future credit losses based on a review of the various credit quality indicators described above, we have not established a loss provision against these receivables as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
    

NOTE 7. Net Income Attributable to Company per Share

Basic net income attributable to Company per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The average number of outstanding shares of common stock used in computing diluted net income attributable to Company per share includes weighted average incremental shares when the impact is not anti-dilutive. The weighted average incremental shares represent the net amount of shares the Company would issue upon the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred stock units (DSUs) after assuming that the Company would use the proceeds from the exercise of options to repurchase stock. The weighted average incremental shares also includes the net amount of shares issuable for performance stock units (PSUs) at the end of the reporting period, if any, based on the number of shares issuable if the end of the period were the end of the vesting period.

Anti-dilutive shares, if applicable, are excluded and represent those options, RSUs, DSUs and PSUs whose assumed proceeds were greater than the average price of the Company’s common stock.

The Company accounts for purchases of treasury stock under the cost method with the costs of such share purchases reflected in treasury stock in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon the exercise or vesting of an equity incentive award, the Company may reissue shares from treasury stock or may elect to issue new shares. When treasury shares are reissued, they are recorded at the average cost of the treasury shares acquired since the inception of the share buy back programs, net of shares previously reissued. Gains on the reissuance of treasury shares are recorded as capital surplus. Losses on the reissuance of treasury shares are charged to capital surplus to the extent of previous gains recorded, and to retained earnings for any losses in excess. The Company has reissued, on a cumulative basis, a total of 145,489 treasury shares related to certain employee vestings under its equity incentive program through June 30, 2019.

On December 7, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of common stock for an amount of $600.0 million through December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2019 the Company has purchased 272,000 shares for $30.6 million and has $569.4 million remaining under this repurchase authorization. The Company suspended its share repurchase program due to the pending Merger.

NOTE 9. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for stock options and RSUs based on the grant date fair value, determined by the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSUs vest in equal annual installments over three years. As of June 30, 2019, the stock option awards are fully vested.

As part of its equity incentive program, the Company grants PSUs, the vesting of which would occur, if at all, and at levels that depend upon the achievement of three-year cumulative goals tied to earnings per share. The Company assesses the expected achievement levels at the end of each reporting period. The grant date fair value of the number of awards expected to vest based on the Company’s best estimate of ultimate performance against the respective targets is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the awards. As of June 30, 2019, the Company believes it is probable that the performance conditions will be met and has recognized compensation expense accordingly.

The Company also grants DSUs to its non-management directors as part of the equity portion of their annual retainer and are fully vested at grant. Each DSU provides the right to the issuance of a share of our common stock, within ten days after the earlier of the director’s death or disability, the 13-month anniversary of the grant date or the director’s separation from service. Each director may also elect within a month after the grant date to defer the receipt of shares for five or more years. No election can be made to accelerate the issuance of stock from a DSU.

The Company paid approximately €1.1 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Schuldschein Loans, which has been presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction of the related debt liability. Interest under the fixed rate tranches is paid on March 31 of each year, and commenced on March 31, 2019. Interest under the floating rate tranches is paid semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year, and commenced on September 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding debt balance net of unamortized debt issuance costs was €299.2 million ($340.2 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) of which €100.0 million ($113.7 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) was used for the recapitalization of affiliated entities. The remaining proceeds will be utilized to meet general financing requirements.

Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, prepay all or any part of the Schuldschein Loans in an amount equal to the higher of the outstanding nominal amount of such loans (or the part of it) and the discounted value.

The Schuldschein Loans contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, and financial covenants consisting of a consolidated net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain items) ratio of not more than three times at the end of each fiscal quarter based upon the preceding twelve consecutive months, as well as a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense ratio of not less than three times at the end of each

The Company paid approximately $1.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Senior EUR Notes, which has been presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction of the related debt liability. Interest on the Senior EUR Notes is payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, and commenced on July 1, 2017. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding debt balance net of unamortized debt issuance costs was €439.1 million ($499.2 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates). This debt balance included a revaluation loss of $20.9 million, net of taxes of $7.5 million, that has been recognized in cumulative translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive income. See Note 4 for further discussion.

The proceeds from the Senior EUR Notes were utilized to repay outstanding balances on our revolving credit facilities, fund our share repurchase program, finance acquisitions and meet general financing requirements.

Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, prepay all or part of the Senior EUR Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment and certain penalties as defined in the note purchase agreement (the EUR Note Purchase Agreement). The Company may also be required, subject to certain events and conditions, to make an offer to prepay all of the Senior EUR Notes including any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment. Each holder has the option to accept or reject such offer to prepay.

The EUR Note Purchase Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, and financial covenants consisting of a consolidated net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio of not more than three times at the end of each fiscal quarter based upon the preceding twelve consecutive months, as well as a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense ratio of not less than three times at the end of each fiscal quarter based upon the preceding twelve consecutive months. The EUR Note Purchase Agreement also provides for customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in an acceleration of the Company's obligations under the EUR Note Purchase Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants as of June 30, 2019.

The Company also agreed to indemnify the note purchasers holding Senior EUR Notes that are subject to a swap agreement for certain potential losses associated with swap breakage resulting from a prepayment of the Senior EUR Notes or from an acceleration of the Senior EUR Notes as a result of an event of default.

Senior USD Notes

On June 25, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate amount of $500.0 million of senior unsecured notes (the Senior USD Notes). On April 30, 2018, the Company prepaid the outstanding principal amount of $500.0 million on the Senior USD Notes, and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.3 million net of taxes, of which the pretax amount, $2.6 million, was included in other non-operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Revolving Credit Facilities

Effective June 28, 2018, the Company amended its existing multi–currency unsecured revolving credit facility, increasing the maximum principal amount of borrowings under the facility from $400 million (the 2015 Facility) to $600 million (the 2018 Facility), with an option to increase up to an additional $250 million. The 2018 Facility also extended the previously scheduled maturity date of September 30, 2022 for the 2015 Facility to June 28, 2023, subject to two one–year extension options, of which the first one was exercised on May 28, 2019, extending the maturity date by one year to June 28, 2024.

17


Concurrent with entering into the 2018 Facility, the Company also terminated the $100 million multi-currency five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the 2014 Facility) that was due to expire on December 17, 2019.

On the effective date of the 2018 Facility, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of €104.0 million and €52.0 million under the 2015 Facility and 2014 Facility and commenced borrowing under the 2018 Facility. Under the 2018 Facility, the Company may borrow, on a revolving basis, outstanding loans in an aggregate principal amount at any one time not in excess of $600 million and the 2018 Facility also provides for up to $50 million for standby letters of credit and swing line loans.

At June 30, 2019, there was €15.0 million ($17.1 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) outstanding under the 2018 Facility and there were no outstanding letters of credit or swing line loans. There were no borrowings, letters of credit or swing line loans outstanding as of December 31, 2018. The proceeds from borrowings under the 2018 Facility are available to fund acquisitions, provide working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

Interest on loans under the 2018 Facility is calculated at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin which can vary from 0.30% to 0.85% based on the Company's leverage ratio plus LIBOR for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars and EURIBOR for loans denominated in Euros (SIBOR for loans denominated in Singapore Dollars and HIBOR for loans denominated in Hong Kong Dollars).

The 2018 Facility contains terms and provisions (including representations, covenants and conditions) customary for transactions of this type. Financial covenants include a leverage test (consolidated net indebtedness not to exceed three times adjusted four quarter trailing consolidated EBITDA) and a maximum subsidiary indebtedness test. The maximum subsidiary indebtedness test limits the total aggregate amount of indebtedness of the Company's subsidiaries, excluding indebtedness under the 2018 Facility, to 20 percent of consolidated total assets as at the end of the most recently ended financial year, of which not more than $150 million may be secured, provided however that the Company may incur additional subsidiary indebtedness subject to, inter alia, providing additional corporate guarantees. Other undertakings and covenants include delivery of financial reports and other information, compliance with laws including environmental laws and permits, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and U.S. regulations, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), sanctions-related obligations, negative pledge, limitations on mergers and sales of assets, change of business and use of proceeds. We were in compliance with all of the covenants as of June 30, 2019.

Other Debt

As of June 30, 2019, the Company's various subsidiaries had additional borrowings from banks totaling $1.7 million, of which $0.3 million was classified as long-term debt. The remaining $1.4 million supports local working capital requirements. This is in comparison to $0.5 million as of December 31, 2018 which was fully classified as long-term debt.


NOTE 11. Leases

The Company has operating leases for warehouses, corporate offices, cars, forklifts and certain equipment. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the accounting and transition guidance in ASC 842 for its operating leases resulting in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the effective date. The Company measures ROU assets throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. The lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Leases that include both lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component for each asset class.
    
The minimum payments under operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease expenses related to variable lease payments are recognized in cost of sales or as operating expenses in a manner consistent with the nature of the underlying lease and as the events, activities, or circumstances in the lease agreement occur. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the related lease expenses are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are recorded as operating expenses.
    
The accounting for leases requires management to exercise judgment and make estimates in determining the applicable discount rate, lease term and payments due under a lease. If a lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is applied to leases on a portfolio basis and is determined from a rate for borrowings with a term equal to one-half the total lease term and an

18


amount equal to the total minimum lease payments. A Euro (EUR) and United States Dollar (USD) quote are used because these currencies represent the majority of the lease population.
    
The lease term includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not terminate) that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) a lease controlled by the lessor. The Company has leases with a lease term ranging from 1 year to 15 years. Lease payments are generally comprised of fixed payments including in-substance fixed payments, payments that depend on an index or rate, any amounts payable under residual value guarantees, as well as any exercise price for a Company option to purchase the underlying asset if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The Company generally does not provide residual value guarantees.
    
The operating leases of the Company do not contain major restrictions or covenants such as those relating to dividends or additional financial obligations. Finance leases and income related to subleasing are immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no lease transactions with related parties as of June 30, 2019.

The operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $7.8 million and $15.6 million, respectively. Lease expenses related to variable lease payments and short term leases were immaterial. Other information related to operating leases is as follows:

NOTE 12. Warranties, Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies
Warranties
Products sold by the Company are covered by a basic limited warranty with terms and conditions that vary depending upon the product and country in which it was sold. The limited warranty covers the equipment, parts and labor (in certain cases) necessary to satisfy the warranty obligation generally for a period of two years. Estimated product warranty expenses are accrued in cost of goods sold at the time the related sale is recognized. Estimates of warranty expenses are based primarily on warranty claims experience and specific customer contracts. Warranty expenses include accruals for basic warranties for product sold, as well as accruals for product recalls, service campaigns and other related events when they are known and estimable. Recoveries from

19


suppliers are recognized when an arrangement with the supplier exists and collectibility is assured. Amounts recognized as recoveries do not exceed related warranty costs accrued. To the extent the Company experiences changes in warranty claim activity or costs associated with servicing those claims, its warranty accrual is adjusted accordingly. Warranty accrual estimates and the allocation of warranty between short and long term are updated based upon the most current warranty claims information available.
The following is a summary of changes in the Company’s product warranty liability for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Guarantees and Commitments

The Company has uncollateralized bank guarantees for $28.9 million, of which $17.7 million is related to statutorily-required guarantees for tax and other litigation, $3.0 million is related to letters of credit, and $8.2 million is related to other individually immaterial items.

Right of Recourse

As discussed in Note 6, the Company may receive bank acceptance drafts from customers in China in payment of outstanding accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. These bank acceptance drafts are non-interest bearing obligations of the issuing bank and generally have contractual maturities of six months or less. The Company may use these banker's acceptance drafts prior to the scheduled maturity date to settle outstanding accounts payable with vendors. Bank acceptance drafts transferred to vendors are subject to customary right of recourse provisions prior to their scheduled maturity date. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $17.7 million and $28.2 million, respectively, of bankers acceptance drafts subject to customary right of recourse provisions, which were transferred to vendors and had not reached their scheduled maturity date. Historically, the bankers acceptance drafts have settled upon maturity without any claim of recourse against the Company.

Contingencies

We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to products and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable and reasonably possible losses. A determination of the amount of liability to be recorded, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue.

Under an indemnification agreement, WABCO Brazil is responsible for certain claims related to Trane's (formerly called American Standard) business for periods prior to the Company's spin-off from Trane in 2007. In particular, there are tax claims pending in various stages of the Brazilian legal process related to income, social contribution and/or value added taxes for which a contingency exists and which may or may not ultimately be incurred by the Company. 

As previously disclosed, this includes one particular case for which an accrual of BRL 38.9 million including interest ($10.1 million based on June 30, 2019 exchange rates) was recorded based on management's assessment after considering advice of external legal counsel with respect to the likelihood of loss in this case. A corresponding deposit was made in the first quarter of

20


2017 into an escrow account with the Brazilian government, representing substantially all of the potential liability for the case. In March 2018, our appeal to have this case heard at the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (the Court) was accepted. The Court subsequently heard the case and rejected our position ultimately ruling in favor of the tax authorities during the first quarter of 2018. There will be no further appeals. Accordingly, management expects this case to be closed by the Brazilian authorities within the next twelve months and has classified the accrual and deposit within other current liabilities and other current assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2019.

The estimated total amount of other remaining contingencies for tax claims under the indemnification agreement as of June 30, 2019 was $16.9 million including interest. However, based on management’s assessment following advice of our external legal counsel, the Company believes that it has valid arguments in all of these cases and thus no accrual is required at this time.  

Merger Litigation

Following the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement, two putative class action complaints and two individual complaints were filed against the Company and the Board of Directors. On April 23, 2019, the first putative class action complaint was filed against the Company and the Board of Directors in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Collier v. WABCO Holdings Inc., et al., No. 1:19-cv-00729 (D. Del.). On April 24, 2019, the second putative class action complaint was filed against the Company and the Board of Directors in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Kent v. WABCO Holdings Inc., et al., No. 1:19-cv-00735 (D. Del.). On April 29, 2019, a third complaint was filed against the Company and the Board of Directors in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Stein v. WABCO Holdings Inc., et al., No. 1:19-cv-00782 (D. Del.). On May 2, 2019, a fourth complaint was filed against the Company and the Board of Directors in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Kengchoon v. WABCO Holdings Inc., et al., No. 1:19-cv-00816 (D. Del.). The complaints allege violations of federal securities laws and regulations due to allegedly material and misleading statements and omissions in the preliminary proxy statement filed in connection with the Merger, including with respect to the financial analyses of the Company’s financial advisors and financial projections prepared by the Company’s management. The complaints sought to enjoin the special meeting and seek to enjoin the closing, as well as damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. The defendants believe that the lawsuits are without merit and the defendants specifically deny all allegations that any supplemental disclosure was or is required. However, to moot certain of plaintiffs’ disclosure claims in the lawsuits, to avoid nuisance, potential expense and delay and to provide additional information to WABCO’s shareholders, on June 17, 2019, WABCO voluntarily supplemented its definitive proxy statement by publicly filing additional disclosures.

The Merger Agreement was adopted by WABCO’s shareholders at the June 27, 2019 special meeting of shareholders.

NOTE 13. Income Taxes

Income tax expense is the net result of taxes on the mix of earnings in multiple tax jurisdictions, foreign tax credits and rulings, the assessment and accrual of uncertain tax positions resulting from tax authority audits or changes in the interpretation of the law. For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year-to-date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year-to-date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur.

The income tax expense was $20.9 million and $33.0 million on pretax income of $95.6 million and $195.4 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and $23.5 million and $49.9 million on pretax income of $132.8 million and $265.8 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The change in income tax expense for the three month period is primarily the result of lower pre-tax income in 2019 and discrete tax benefits during the second quarter of 2018 related to changes in uncertain tax positions and return to provision adjustments. The change in income tax expense for the six month period is primarily the result of lower pre-tax income in 2019 and discrete tax benefits for the six month period in 2019 in excess of the same period in 2018. The most significant discrete tax benefit in the six month period ended June 30, 2019 was a $6.5 million tax benefit related to a change in a permanent reinvestment assertion with respect to WABCO INDIA.
    
On February 14, 2019, the General Court of the European Union (the General Court) issued a judgment annulling a European Commission decision which had previously declared the Belgium Excess Profit Ruling (EPR) regime as illegal and incompatible with European State Aid law. The General Court ruled that the European Commission had wrongly considered that the Belgian provisions allowing tax exemptions of multinational companies’ excess profit granted by means of rulings could constitute an illegal state aid scheme. On April 24, 2019, the European Commission appealed that decision. The European Commission still has the possibility to take an individual State Aid decision against each company that benefited from the EPR regime. At June 30,

21


2019, the Company maintained a tax reserve of $31.1 million pending further European Court developments regarding European State Aid cases.

Unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2019, including the $31.1 million of EPR clawback, amounted to $38.5 million, of which $33.1 million has been offset against deferred tax assets. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits of $5.4 million were classified as either a short-term or long-term liability depending on the expected timing of the resolution. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

In February 2018, the Company received a final tax and interest assessment in India for the 2013 tax year related to a capital gain on an intercompany transfer of an Indian subsidiary. The assessment was for INR 3.5 billion ($51.3 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates). In addition, a penalty assessment was issued in March of 2018 for INR 2.1 billion ($31.1 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates). The Company believes that no tax is due under the relevant double tax treaty between the Netherlands and India and therefore no amount has been accrued. The Company appealed both the tax and penalty assessments during March 2018. In May 2018, the Commissioner of Income Tax granted a partial stay of demand requiring the Company to pay 15% of the assessment (INR 531.4 million, $7.7 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates).

On March 31, 2019, the partial stay expired. The Commissioner of Income Tax directed the tax authority to recover an additional 5% percent of the assessment or INR 175.0 million ($2.5 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) and granted a further stay pending resolution of the appeal. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has deposited installments totaling INR 531.4 million ($7.7 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) for the original partial stay of demand and an additional INR 100.0 million ($1.4 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) for the subsequent request for payment. The Company has requested a payment plan for the remainder of the INR 175.0 million ($2.5 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) additional assessment. The assessed penalty has been held in abeyance pending the appeal.

As described in Note 2, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2018–02 as of January 1, 2019 which was applicable to deferred taxes on pension obligations and unrealized foreign currency losses on net investment hedges that had been previously recognized in other comprehensive income. This resulted in the reclassification of $8.4 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings, representing the stranded tax. The Company’s policy is to follow the portfolio approach for releasing income tax effects recorded in AOCI.

NOTE 14. Streamlining Expenses

The Company accounts for employee-related streamlining charges as either a one-time benefit arrangement or an ongoing benefit arrangement as appropriate under the applicable accounting guidance. From time to time the Company also has streamlining charges that are not related to employees, such as facility exit costs.

In the third quarter of 2015, the Company announced proposals to cease manufacturing at two production facilities to preserve the Company's global competitiveness for certain mechanical products. These proposals resulted in a workforce reduction of 316 positions and includes a smaller program initiated in the fourth quarter of 2014 (the 2014/2015 Program). As of June 30, 2019, production at both facilities has been transferred to other facilities within the Company's globally integrated supply chain. The cumulative costs incurred as of June 30, 2019 related to the 2014/2015 Program was $65.5 million, which approximates the total expected costs to be incurred under this program.

Based on the Company’s efforts to maintain our global footprint, the Company has periodically entered into other streamlining programs as deemed necessary which may include workforce reductions, site closures and rotation of manufacturing footprint to low cost regions (Other Programs). In 2019 streamlining costs incurred for Other Programs related to the relocation of corporate functions to the new global headquarters, headcount reductions and the transfer of certain product lines and business processes to best cost countries.

The following is a summary of changes in the Company’s streamlining program liabilities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The weighted-average expected rates of return on plan assets used to determine the pension and post-retirement benefit plan cost for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were based on the rates determined as of the beginning of each of the fiscal years of 2.40% and 2.75%, respectively.

The Company makes contributions to funded pension plans that, at a minimum, meet all statutory funding requirements. Contributions in 2019, as well as payments of benefits incurred by unfunded plans, were in line with the expectations for 2019 and also in line with the contributions made during 2018.

Pension and post-retirement benefit plan cost is included in cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses and non-operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 16. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires a company to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purpose. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument based upon the exposure being hedged as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
    
The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value using Level 2 inputs and these are classified as other current assets, other assets, other accrued liabilities or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The impact resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments is recorded in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as the underlying exposure being hedged or in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) for derivatives that qualify and have been designated as cash flow hedges or hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument's change in fair value is recognized in earnings together with changes in the fair value of any derivatives not designated as relationship hedges.

Net Investment Hedges


24


The Company designated borrowings under its revolving credit facilities and Senior EUR Notes to partially hedge the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-denominated wholly-owned subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company designated Euro-denominated loans of €455.0 million (approximately $517.3 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rate) and €440.0 million (approximately $503.6 million at December 31, 2018 exchange rate) as hedges of its net investment in these subsidiaries.
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a loss of $5.1 million, net of taxes of $1.4 million, and a gain of $31.5 million, net of taxes of $8.9 million, respectively, in cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a gain of $3.1 million, net of taxes of $0.9 million, and a gain of $9.1 million, net of taxes of $2.5 million, respectively, in cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Foreign exchange contracts are also used by the Company to offset the earnings impact relating to the variability in exchange rates on certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and have not been designated as relationship hedges. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had the following outstanding notional amounts related to foreign currency forward contracts:

* No significant outstanding foreign currency forward contracts

The Company had additional foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts that individually amounted to less than $10 million. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, forward contracts for an aggregate notional amount of €184.5 million ($209.8 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) and €170.2 million ($194.8 million at December 31, 2018 exchange rates), respectively, were outstanding with average durations of less than one month. The majority of these exchange contracts were entered into on June 27, 2019 and December 27, 2018, respectively. These foreign exchange contracts have offset the revaluation of assets and liabilities. The Company recognized a non-operating gain of $2.3 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value of these derivatives was immaterial at June 30, 2019 and at December 31, 2018.

NOTE 17. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follow:

(a) Short-term and other investments consist of mutual funds or deposit funds holding primarily term deposits, certificates of deposit and short-term bonds. The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of short-term and other investments is determined based on pricing sources for identical instruments in less active markets. The unrealized gains and losses on short–term and other investments still held at the reporting date were immaterial for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

(b) Fair value of derivative instruments determined based on Level 2 inputs including credit ratings and other criteria observable
in the market.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the Company's investments in repurchase agreements, guaranteed notes receivable and long-term debt were determined to approximate their fair values based on Level 2 inputs. The Company also had non-marketable equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values, the carrying amount of which amounted to $25.4 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Overview
    
The second quarter of 2019 was affected by a slowdown in economic growth expectations across most regions, leading to a further deterioration in key markets where we operate. This impact was partially offset through agile management of our variable cost structure and discretionary operating expenses. Due to the size and speed of the drop in markets, we were unable to fully offset the market impact.

Our sales for the second quarter of 2019 decreased compared to one year ago by 8.8% on a reported basis and by 4.4% excluding foreign currency translation effects. The sales decline was driven by declines in the truck and bus and trailer markets, down 5.8% and 14.8%, respectively. Additionally the markets for off-highway vehicles and passenger cars also declined.

The WABCO Operating System continued to enable fast and flexible responses to these major market changes, delivering $18.2 million of materials and conversion productivity. Gross materials productivity delivered 4.5% of material savings. Commodity inflation had a negative impact of 0.9%, bringing net materials productivity to 3.6% for the second quarter of 2019. Conversion productivity represented 6.1% for the second quarter of 2019, a continued solid performance.

As previously announced, on March 28, 2019, WABCO entered into an Agreement (the Merger Agreement) and Plan of Merger with ZF Friedrichshafen AG (ZF), a stock corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Verona Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ZF, pursuant to which ZF will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of WABCO common stock (the Merger). The Merger Agreement was adopted by WABCO’s shareholders at the June 27, 2019 special meeting of shareholders, whereby holders representing 68.4% of the Company’s outstanding shares voted in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

The Company suspended its share repurchase program due to the pending Merger and we do not expect to reinstate the program this year. The Company’s guidance for 2019, communicated on February 15, 2019, assumed that the Company would continue this share repurchase program through 2019. This suspension will negatively impact the Company’s earnings per share performance however, due to the pending Merger, the Company will not be updating its guidance.

Results of Operations
Approximately 76% of our sales are outside the United States, and therefore changes in exchange rates can have a significant impact on the reported results of our operations, which are presented in U.S. dollars. Quarter-over-quarter changes in sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses for 2019 compared with 2018 are presented both with and without the effects of foreign currency translation. Changes in sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses excluding foreign exchange effects are calculated using current year sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses translated at prior year exchange rates. Presenting changes in sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses excluding the effects of foreign currency translation is not in conformity with U.S. GAAP, but management analyzes the data in this manner because it is useful to us in understanding the operating performance of our business. We believe this data is also useful to shareholders for the same reason. The changes in sales, cost of sales, gross profit and expenses excluding the effects of foreign exchange translation are not meant to be a substitute for measurements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, nor to be considered in isolation.

Sales

Our sales for the second quarter of 2019 were $912.8 million, a decrease of 8.8% (4.4% excluding foreign currency translation effects) from $1,001.2 million in 2018. In the second quarter of 2019 we observed a further deterioration in the global production of new trucks and buses, trailers, off-highway vehicles as well as passenger cars.

Total sales in Europe, our largest market, decreased 11.3% (5.6% excluding foreign currency translation effects) for the second quarter of 2019 while the production of new trucks and buses decreased 2.8%. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs also declined 11.6% (6.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects), due to unfavorable customer mix as well as continued phase out of AMT at a major gearbox supplier. The production of trailers faced a major decline of 16.1% year over year. We continue to outperform this market, which resulted in a reduction of sales to trailer OEMs of 11.0% (4.5% excluding foreign currency translation effects).

Total sales in North America decreased 2.0% (1.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects). Our sales to truck and bus OEMs increased 3.5% (4.4% excluding foreign currency translation effects) following the truck and bus market growth of 6.1% in the second quarter of 2019.

Total sales in South America increased 22.1% (32.8% excluding foreign currency translation effects) while the truck and bus production increased 14.4%. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs increased by 22.3% (32.9% excluding foreign currency translation effects). Our outperformance in this market was driven by share of market gain in braking controls and further adoption of AMT technologies at a global OEM.

Total sales in Asia decreased 15.2% (10.9% excluding foreign currency translation effects) compared to an estimated 10.8% decrease in new vehicle production in the region.

Total sales in China decreased 16.4% (10.5% excluding foreign currency translation effects). Our sales to truck and bus OEMs declined by 7.9% (1.4% excluding foreign currency translation effects) driven by the decline in truck and bus production of 6.3% and unfavorable customer mix due to a loss in market share at two of our key customers compensated by increased penetration of more advanced braking and stability control systems, partially offset by pricing.

Total sales in India decreased 28.5% (25.6% excluding foreign currency translation effects) driven by the 26.7% decrease in the production of new trucks and buses. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs declined by 32.5% (29.7% excluding foreign currency translation effects). We continue to benefit from the outperformance initiatives launched in prior quarters but those impacts were offset by a negative mix from a decline in the production of multi-axle vehicles while the production of twin-axle vehicles which typically have lower content per vehicle increased.

Total sales in Korea increased 25.8% (34.9% excluding foreign currency translation effects), nicely outperforming the production of trucks and buses which decreased 3.5%. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs grew by 60.4% (71.2% excluding foreign

27


currency translation effects) following a favorable vehicle model mix. Sales in Japan decreased 2.0% (1.2% excluding foreign currency translation effects) compared to a decrease in truck and bus production of 7.0%.

WABCO's aftermarket sales, included in the geographic numbers provided above, decreased 8.2% (3.5% excluding foreign currency translation effects) in the second quarter of 2019. We realized strong growth in South America and the Middle East of 4.9% and 17.1%, respectively (14.3% and 25.0% excluding foreign currency translation effects, respectively). In addition, our continuing focus on digitization resulted into solid sales growth within our fleet management portfolio. This was more than offset by a 10.1% decline (4.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects) in Europe and a 16.9% (13.7% excluding foreign currency translation effects) decline in India. In both regions Original Equipment Systems (OES) customers and dealers are facing uncertainty in the market leading to a cautious order behavior.


Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Within cost of sales, our largest expense is material costs, which mainly represents the purchase of components and parts. Our continued focus on productivity generated 6.1% of production and conversion cost savings, as well as 4.5% of gross material savings and 3.6% of net materials productivity for the second quarter of 2019. Management uses conversion and materials productivity as internal measures of our cost reduction efforts.

(1) Consists primarily of legal and financial advisory fees related to the Merger.
(2) Includes incremental employee compensation associated with the Merger.

The Company has continued to focus on controlling its operating costs during the second quarter and, excluding the effects of the Merger, has maintained a flat level of operating expenses compared to prior year despite inflationary pressures.

Other non-operating expense, net

Other non-operating expense, net decreased by $3.6 million to $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2018, primarily driven by a $2.6 million loss on debt extinguishment resulting from the prepayment of the Senior USD Notes incurred during the second quarter of 2018, as discussed in Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest income/(expense), net

Interest income/(expense), net increased by $3.3 million to an income of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 as compared to an expense of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2018, as a result of lower interest expense due to the prepayment of the Senior USD Notes in the second quarter of 2018, as discussed in Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

The income tax expense for the second quarter of 2019 was $20.9 million on pre-tax income of $95.6 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest, compared with an income tax expense of $23.5 million on pre-tax income of $132.8 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest in the second quarter of 2018. The change in income tax expense is primarily the result of lower pre-tax income during the second quarter of 2019 and discrete income tax benefits recorded in the second quarter of 2018.

On February 14, 2019, the General Court of the European Union (the General Court) issued a judgment annulling a European Commission decision which had previously declared the Belgium Excess Profit Ruling (EPR) regime as illegal and incompatible with European State Aid law. The General Court ruled that the European Commission had wrongly considered that the Belgian provisions allowing tax exemptions of multinational companies’ excess profit granted by means of rulings could constitute an illegal state aid scheme. On April 24, 2019, the European Commission appealed that decision. The European Commission still has the possibility to take an individual State Aid decision against each company that benefited from the EPR regime. At June 30, 2019, the Company maintained a tax reserve of $31.1 million pending further European Court developments regarding European State Aid cases.

When we provided guidance for 2019, our projected results assumed an 18% effective tax rate for 2019, driven in part by the establishment of a regulated insurance company to better manage our unfunded pension liabilities. Due to the pending Merger, this initiative has been suspended. We continue to anticipate an annual effective tax rate below 20% due to other tax savings and initiatives that the Company is anticipating in 2019.

Sales

Our sales for the first six months of 2019 were $1,845.6 million, a decrease of 7.9% (2.6% excluding foreign currency translation effects) from $2,004.6 million in 2018 following the decline in the global truck and bus and trailer markets.

Total sales in Europe, our largest market, decreased 9.6% (2.6% excluding foreign currency translation effects) for the first six months of 2019, while the production of new trucks and buses decreased 2.0%. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs declined 9.7% (3.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects), driven by the phase out of AMT at a major gearbox supplier in Western Europe. Additionally our sales in Europe were negatively impacted by the significant drop in trailer production of 12.0%.

Total sales in North America increased 1.2% (2.2% excluding foreign currency translation effects) driven by a market growth of 10.4%. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs increased 7.1% (8.2% excluding foreign currency translation effects). Weakening markets for off-highway vehicles and passenger cars as indicated in the beginning of 2019 continued to negatively contribute to our sales growth year over year for the first six months of 2019.

Total sales in South America increased 13.8% (27.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects) while the truck and bus production increased 5.7%. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs increased by 10.2% (22.6% excluding foreign currency translation effects). We outperformed the market due to a share of market gain in braking controls and AMT at a global OEM.

Total sales in Asia decreased 16.3% (11.4% excluding foreign currency translation effects) compared to an estimated 8.1% decrease in new vehicle production in the region.

Total sales in China decreased 15.6% (10.1% excluding foreign currency translation effects). Our sales to truck and bus OEMs declined by 9.7% (3.8% excluding foreign currency translation effects) primarily driven by the decline in truck and bus production of 4.5% as well as by continuing pricing pressure.

Total sales in India decreased 28.7% (23.8% excluding foreign currency translation effects) driven by the 21.8% decrease in the production of new trucks and buses. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs declined by 30.0% (25.0% excluding foreign currency translation effects). We continue to benefit from the outperformance initiatives launched in prior quarters but those impacts were offset by a negative mix from a decline in the production of multi-axle vehicles while the production of twin-axle vehicles which typically have lower content per vehicle increased.

Total sales in Korea increased 10.8% (18.2% excluding foreign currency translation effects) while the truck and bus production only increased 0.1%. Our sales to truck and bus OEMs grew by 44.4% (54.0% excluding foreign currency translation effects) following a favorable vehicle model mix. Sales in Japan decreased 2.4% (1.2% excluding foreign currency translation effects) compared to a decrease in truck and bus production of 3.7%.

WABCO's aftermarket sales, included in the geographic numbers provided above, decreased 6.9% (1.2% excluding foreign currency translation effects) in the first six months of 2019. Aftermarket sales grew in South America and the Middle East 3.0%

30


and 19.8%, respectively (15.6% and 29.4% excluding foreign currency translation effects, respectively). This was offset by a 10.5% decline (3.5% excluding foreign currency translation effects) in our main market of Europe, a 14.6% decline (8.8% excluding foreign currency translation effects) in India and flattish sales growth in North America.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Within cost of sales, our largest expense is material costs, which mainly represents the purchase of components and parts. Our continued focus on productivity generated $28.8 million of production and conversion cost savings, as well as 4.2% of gross material savings. Commodity inflation had a negative impact of 1.0%, bringing net materials productivity to 3.2% for the first six months of 2019. Management uses conversion and materials productivity as internal measures of our cost reduction efforts.

Other non-operating expense, net

Other non-operating expense, net decreased by $9.0 million to $13.3 million for the first six months of 2019 as compared to $22.3 million for 2018, primarily driven by a $2.6 million loss on debt extinguishment resulting from the prepayment of the Senior USD Notes incurred during the second quarter of 2018, as discussed in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as gains on short term investments in 2019 and unfavorable foreign exchange revaluation impacts in the first quarter of 2018.

Interest income/(expense), net

Interest income/(expense), net increased by $6.5 million to an income of $0.3 million for the first six months of 2019 as compared to an expense of $6.2 million for 2018, as a result of lower interest expense due to the prepayment of the Senior USD Notes in the second quarter of 2018, as discussed in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $33.0 million on pre-tax income of $195.4 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest, compared with an income tax expense of $49.9 million on pre-tax income of $265.8 million before adjusting for noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change in income tax expense is primarily the result of lower pre-tax income, and discrete tax benefits during the first quarter of 2019, the most significant of which is a $6.5 million discrete tax benefit related to a change in a permanent reinvestment assertion with respect to WABCO INDIA.

On February 14, 2019, the General Court of the European Union (the General Court) issued a judgment annulling a European Commission decision which had previously declared the Belgium Excess Profit Ruling (EPR) regime as illegal and incompatible with European State Aid law. The General Court ruled that the European Commission had wrongly considered that the Belgian provisions allowing tax exemptions of multinational companies’ excess profit granted by means of rulings could constitute an illegal state aid scheme.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

32



The Company’s cash generation in the first quarter was affected by the build-up of working capital as well as the pay-out of cash incentive programs. During the second quarter of 2019, we leveraged our working capital, curtailed our investments in property, plant and equipment, leading to a net cash from operating activities of $83.0 million compared to $77.2 million in the second quarter of prior year. During the first quarter of 2019 we also suspended our share repurchase program due to the pending Merger, and do not expect to reinstate the share repurchase program this year.
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities was $141.8 million and $166.2 million for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cash flow from operating activities for the first six months of 2019 consisted primarily of net income including noncontrolling interests of $162.4 million, increased by $92.0 million for non-cash charges mainly composed of depreciation and amortization, pension and post-retirement benefit expenses, deferred income tax benefit, stock compensation and non-cash interest expense and debt issuance cost amortization. This was partially offset by $112.6 million related to changes in operating assets and liabilities as well as pension contributions, which includes $8.7 million of payments made related to the Merger.

Cash flow from operating activities for the first six months of 2018 consisted primarily of net income including noncontrolling interests of $215.9 million, increased by $117.4 million for non-cash charges mainly composed of depreciation and amortization, pension and post-retirement benefit expenses, stock compensation and non-cash interest expense and debt issuance cost amortization. This was partially offset by $167.1 million related to changes in operating assets and liabilities as well as pension contributions.

Investing activities - Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $76.3 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to net cash used by investing activities balance of $184.8 million in the first six months of 2018.

Capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment was $67.9 million and $49.6 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively. This increase is primarily driven by the timing of investments compared to prior year. On a full year basis, we expect capital expenditures to be slightly above last year's level.

Aside from capital expenditures in tooling, equipment and software, we had investing cash flows related to our investments and redemptions in repurchase agreements and short-term investments as follows:

Financing activities - Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $453.7 million for the first six months of 2018. The cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily results from the shares we repurchased for a total amount of $30.6 million, partially offset by net borrowings of short-term debt under the revolving credit facilities of $19.3 million. The Company suspended its share repurchase program during the first quarter of 2019 due to the pending Merger and we do not expect to reinstate the share repurchase program this year.

In 2018, the cash used by financing activities mainly resulted from the $500.0 million prepayment of the Senior USD Notes, the repayment of our revolving credit facilities for $195.1 million, as well as the shares we repurchased for an amount of $119.9 million, partially offset by cash receipts from our new long term loans (the Schuldschein Loans) for $368.5 million.

Schuldschein Loans

On March 22, 2018, the Company entered through a European subsidiary into a series of six individual senior unsecured loan agreements with an aggregate principal amount of €300.0 million, as follows:

Senior Notes (EUR and USD)

On November 15, 2016, the Company issued €440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, comprised of €190 million of 0.84% senior unsecured notes due 2023, €80 million of 1.20% senior unsecured notes due 2026 and €170 million of 1.36% senior unsecured notes due 2028. The Company paid $1.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with these senior unsecured notes. Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, and commenced on July 1, 2017.

On June 25, 2015, the Company issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, comprised of $150 million of 2.83% senior unsecured notes due 2022, $200 million of 3.08% senior unsecured notes due 2025 and $150 million of 3.18% senior unsecured notes due 2027. The Company paid $2.1 million of debt issuance costs in connection with these senior unsecured notes.

The proceeds from the Senior Notes were utilized to repay outstanding balances on the revolving credit facilities, fund our share repurchase program, finance acquisitions and meet general financing requirements.

On April 30, 2018, the Company prepaid the outstanding principal amount of $500.0 million on the Senior USD Notes, and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.3 million net of taxes, of which the pretax amount, $2.6 million, was included in other non-operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Credit Facilities
    
Effective June 28, 2018, the Company amended its existing multi–currency unsecured revolving credit facility, increasing the maximum principal amount of borrowings under the facility from $400 million (the 2015 Facility) to $600 million (the 2018 Facility), with an option to increase up to an additional $250.0 million. The 2018 Facility also extended the previously scheduled maturity date of September 30, 2022 for the 2015 Facility to June 28, 2023, subject to two one–year extension options, of which the first one was exercised on May 28, 2019, extending the maturity date by one year to June 28, 2024.

Concurrent with entering into the 2018 Facility, the Company also terminated the $100 million multi-currency five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the 2014 Facility) that was due to expire on December 17, 2019.

Under the 2018 Facility, the Company may borrow, on a revolving basis, loans in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not in excess of $600.0 million, of which $582.9 million was available for borrowing at June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, various subsidiaries also had other borrowings from banks totaling $1.7 million, of which $0.3 million was classified as long-term debt. The remaining $1.4 million supports local working capital requirements.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company designated borrowings under its revolving credit facilities and Senior EUR Notes to partially hedge the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-denominated wholly-owned subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2019 the Company designated borrowings under the revolving credit facility and Euro-denominated loans of €455.0 million ($517.3 million at June 30, 2019 exchange rates) and €440.0 million ($503.6 million at December 31, 2018 exchange rates) of Euro-denominated loans as hedges of its net investment in these subsidiaries.


34


For the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a gain of $5.1 million, net of taxes of $1.4 million, and a gain of $31.5 million, net of taxes of $8.9 million, respectively, in cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI.
As disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with an affiliate of Meritor Inc. (Meritor) to serve as the exclusive distributor for a certain range of WABCO’s Aftermarket products in the U.S. and Canada and its non-exclusive distributor in Mexico. As a result of the Merger Agreement, Meritor now has the option to put these distribution rights to the Company at any time until April 2021 for an exercise price between $225 million and $265 million, based on the earnings of the distribution business.
Aggregate Contractual Obligations

The Company has contractual obligations for debt, operating leases, tax indemnifications, purchase obligations, unfunded pension and post-retirement benefit plans and tax liabilities that were summarized in a table of aggregate contractual obligations for the year ended December 31, 2018 disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to those obligations since December 31, 2018 except for the adoption of ASC842 Leases on January 1, 2019 resulting in the recognition of right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as discussed in Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless we are required to do so by law.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Readers should also refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Notes 2 and 16 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the most significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated

36


Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ materially from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the first six months of 2019.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes to the disclosure on this matter for the year ended December 31, 2018 made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

The Company has established a Disclosure Controls Committee that assists the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls

37


and procedures, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), Rule 13a-15(e), are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Beginning January 1, 2019, we implemented ASC 842 Leases. We developed new policies and trainings, and enhanced internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standards. These enhancements to our internal controls are not considered significant.

There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

38


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

We may be party to a variety of legal proceedings with respect to environmental related, employee related, product related, and general liability and automotive litigation related matters that arise in the normal course of our business. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our combined results of operations or financial position. For more information on current legal proceedings, refer to Note 12 and Note 13 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Item 1A.
Risk Factors

Other than as noted below, there have been no new material risks identified that were not disclosed in the Company’s risk factor disclosure in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

The proposed Merger may not be consummated on a timely basis, or at all, and the failure to close or delays in closing the Merger could adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price.

As previously announced, on March 28, 2019, WABCO entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with ZF Friedrichshafen AG (ZF), a stock corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Verona Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ZF, pursuant to which ZF will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of WABCO common stock (the Merger). We can provide no assurance that the Merger will be consummated or consummated in the timeframe or manner currently anticipated. The Merger is subject to a number of conditions including the receipt of regulatory approvals, which is not within our control. Although WABCO’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement at a special meeting of shareholders on June 27, 2019, there can be no assurance as to when, or if, the other conditions to closing of the Merger will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay the Merger or result in the termination of the Merger Agreement.

Any delay in closing or a failure to close could have a negative impact on our business, financial results and stock price as well as our relationships with our customers, suppliers or employees, and a negative impact on our ability to pursue alternative strategic transactions and/or our ability to implement alternative business plans. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay ZF a termination fee of $211 million.

Our business and financial results could be adversely impacted during the pendency of the Merger.

The Merger may cause disruptions to our business or business relationships and create uncertainty surrounding our ongoing business operations, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, regardless of whether the Merger is completed, including as a result of the following (all of which could be exacerbated by a delay in consummation of the Merger):

matters relating to the Merger may require substantial commitments of time and effort by our management, which could divert employees' attention away from the day-to-day operations of our business;
our employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us, which may adversely affect our ability to hire, retain and motivate key personnel and other employees;
customers, suppliers, strategic partners or other third parties that we maintain business relationships with may experience uncertainty prior to the closing of the Merger and seek alternative relationships with other third parties or seek to terminate or re-negotiate their relationships with us; and
the Merger Agreement restricts us from engaging in certain actions without the consent of ZF, which could delay or prevent us from realizing certain business opportunities or taking certain actions with respect to our operations that WABCO would otherwise take.

In addition, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses, and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Merger, and we are required to pay many of these costs regardless of whether or not the Merger is consummated.


39


We could also be subject to litigation related to failure to close the Merger or to enforce our obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Under the Merger Agreement, we are generally not permitted to solicit or discuss acquisition proposals with third parties,
subject to certain exceptions. Further, subject to limited exceptions, the Merger Agreement contains restrictions on our ability to pursue an acquisition proposal or an offer or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal and, in specified circumstances, could require us to pay ZF a termination fee of $211 million. Such restrictions may discourage or deter a third party that may be willing to pay more than ZF for our common stock from considering or proposing an acquisition proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the termination fee be paid to ZF more than once. In addition, the adoption of the Merger Agreement by WABCO’s shareholders eliminated our right to terminate the Merger Agreement in response to an acquisition proposal.

Regulatory authorities may enjoin consummation of the Merger or seek divestitures of certain interests and assets in connection with the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, WABCO and ZF have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including obtaining any requisite approvals, subject to certain specified limitations under the Merger Agreement. This includes using reasonable best efforts to obtain all requisite approvals, clearances, orders, decisions, decrees or authorizations or expirations of any waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended and from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and each member agency thereof acting in such capacity under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended. The Merger is also conditioned upon receipt of certain foreign approvals.

We cannot assure you that these regulatory clearances and approvals will be timely obtained or obtained at all, or that the granting of these regulatory clearances and approvals will not involve the imposition of additional conditions on the closing of the Merger including the requirement to divest assets. In furtherance thereof, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, WABCO and ZF have also agreed to work together and use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause WABCO to divest certain interests and assets. ZF has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to make divestitures and take remedial actions required by regulators so long as such actions do not result in a material adverse effect on the combined company, after giving effect to the Merger. ZF is not required to divest a portion of, or certain assets primarily related to, specific product lines or business divisions.

The delay or failure to obtain regulatory approvals or the imposition of conditions to obtain regulatory approvals could result in a delay or failure to close the Merger or a termination of the Merger Agreement.
