PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements of Lear Corporation and subsidiaries, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The financial information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. These results are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results of operations.

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of Presentation

Lear Corporation (“Lear,” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) and its affiliates design and manufacture complete automotive seat systems and related components, as well as electrical distribution systems and related components. The Company’s main customers are automotive original equipment manufacturers. The Company operates facilities worldwide.

On November 9, 2009, Lear and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries emerged from bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”). In accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM (“ASC”) 852, “Reorganizations,” Lear adopted fresh-start accounting upon its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of November 7, 2009. For further information, see Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” and Note 2, “Reorganization under Chapter 11,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lear, a Delaware corporation, and the wholly owned and less than wholly owned subsidiaries controlled by Lear. In addition, Lear consolidates variable interest entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. Investments in affiliates in which Lear does not have control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method.

The Company’s annual financial results are reported on a calendar year basis and quarterly interim results are reported using a thirteen week reporting calendar.

Certain amounts in the prior period’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Cost of sales includes material, labor and overhead costs associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products. Distribution costs include inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs and other costs of the Company’s distribution network. Selling, general and administrative expenses include selling, engineering and development and administrative costs not directly associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products.

(2) Acquisition

On May 31, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Guilford Mills (“Guilford”), a privately-held portfolio company of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. that manufactures fabrics for the automotive and specialty markets, for $246.1 million, net of cash acquired. Guilford is headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina and has annual sales of approximately $400 million with operations in North America, Europe and Asia.

The Guilford acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012. The operating results and cash flows of Guilford are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The preliminary purchase price and related allocation are shown below (in millions):


Purchase price paid to former owner, net of cash acquired	$	246.1


Property, plant and equipment	$	93.0
Other assets purchased and liabilities assumed, net		(1.3	)
Goodwill		101.4
Intangible assets		53.0

Preliminary purchase price allocation	$	246.1

Intangible assets include provisional amounts recognized for the fair value of customer-based and technology-related assets. It is currently estimated that these intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately eight years.

The purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and will be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding liabilities assumed, including, but not limited to, contingent liabilities, revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including, but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals and valuations related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and certain tax attributes. The Company has made a working capital purchase price adjustment claim, which is pending as of the date of this Report.

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

As of the acquisition date, the Company had amounts payable to Guilford of $8.9 million for purchases of raw materials. As a result of the acquisition, these amounts payable were effectively settled at carrying value, which approximated fair value. The purchase price paid to the former owner discussed above excludes cash paid to settle this pre-existing relationship.

The pro forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact the Company’s reported results for any period presented.

(3) Restructuring

In 2005, the Company initiated a multi-year operational restructuring strategy to (i) eliminate excess capacity and lower the operating costs of the Company, (ii) streamline the Company’s organizational structure and reposition its business for improved long-term profitability and (iii) better align the Company’s manufacturing capabilities with the changing needs of its customers. In light of industry conditions and customer announcements, the Company expanded this strategy, and through the end of 2011, the Company incurred pretax restructuring costs of $804.3 million. The Company expects restructuring actions and related investments to moderate in the current year and thereafter.

Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, fixed asset impairment charges and contract termination costs, as well as other incremental costs resulting from the restructuring actions. These incremental costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs. The Company also incurs incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating locations impacted by the restructuring actions during the related restructuring implementation period. Restructuring costs are recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Generally, charges are recorded as restructuring actions are approved and/or implemented.

In the first half of 2012, the Company recorded charges of $8.1 million in connection with its restructuring actions. These charges consist of $7.4 million recorded as cost of sales, $0.8 million recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses and ($0.1) million recorded as other expense. The restructuring charges consist of employee termination benefits of $6.7 million and contract termination costs of $0.9 million, as well as other related costs of $0.5 million. Employee termination benefits were recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements and completed negotiations. The Company expects to incur approximately $4 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of June 30, 2012, and expects that the components of such costs will be consistent with its historical experience.

A summary of 2012 activity is shown below (in millions):


					Utilization
	Accrual as of January 1, 2012		2012 Charges		Cash			Non-cash		Accrual as of June 30, 2012

(5) Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Agreements

The Company incurs pre-production engineering and development (“E&D”) and tooling costs related to the products produced for its customers under long-term supply agreements. The Company expenses all pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer. In addition, the Company expenses all pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company does not have a non-cancelable right to use the tooling. During the first half of 2012 and 2011, the Company capitalized $116.2 million and $87.2 million, respectively, of pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer. During the first half of 2012 and 2011, the Company also capitalized $86.7 million and $68.7 million, respectively, of pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company has a non-cancelable right to use the tooling. These amounts are included in other current and long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the first half of 2012 and 2011, the Company collected $138.5 million and $162.5 million, respectively, of cash related to E&D and tooling costs.

The classification of recoverable customer engineering, development and tooling costs related to long-term supply agreements is shown below (in millions):


	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Current	$	156.8	$	96.0
Long-term		55.5		64.2

Recoverable customer engineering, development and tooling	$	212.3	$	160.2

(6) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost; however, as a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting, property, plant and equipment was re-measured at estimated fair value as of November 7, 2009. For further information, see Note 3, “Fresh-Start Accounting,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Costs associated with the repair and maintenance of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Depreciable property is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using principally the straight-line method.

A summary of property, plant and equipment is shown below (in millions):


	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
Land	$	102.8		$	106.1
Buildings and improvements		450.0			406.1
Machinery and equipment		1,158.1			988.6
Construction in progress		24.5			3.3

Total property, plant and equipment		1,735.4			1,504.1
Less – accumulated depreciation		(513.0	)		(432.1	)

Net property, plant and equipment	$	1,222.4		$	1,072.0

Depreciation expense was $49.3 million and $57.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively, and $96.1 million and $111.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively.

The Company monitors its long-lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis in accordance with GAAP. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The Company does not believe that there were any indicators that would have resulted in long-lived asset impairment charges as of June 30, 2012. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of any significant industry events and long-term automotive production estimates on the realization of its long-lived assets.

(7) Goodwill

A summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, all of which relates to the seating segment, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, is shown below (in millions):


Balance as of January 1, 2012	$	628.6
Acquisition		101.4
Foreign currency translation		(7.4	)

Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	722.6

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its impairment testing, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is performed. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, the Company then compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The Company conducts its annual impairment testing as of the first day of its fourth quarter.

The Company does not believe that there were any indicators that would have resulted in goodwill impairment charges as of June 30, 2012. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of any significant industry events and long-term automotive production estimates on its recorded goodwill.

(8) Long-Term Debt

A summary of long-term debt and the related weighted average interest rates is shown below (in millions):


	June 30, 2012					December 31, 2011
	Long-Term Debt		Weighted Average Interest Rate			Long-Term Debt		Weighted Average Interest Rate
7.875% Senior Notes due 2018	$	348.0		8.00	%	$	347.9		8.00	%
8.125% Senior Notes due 2020		347.6		8.25	%		347.5		8.25	%

Long-term debt	$	695.6				$	695.4

Senior Notes

As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s long-term debt consisted of $350 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2018 at a stated coupon rate of 7.875% (the “2018 Notes”) and $350 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2020 at a stated coupon rate of 8.125% (the “2020 Notes” and together with the 2018 Notes, the “Notes”). The 2018 Notes were priced at 99.276% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 8.00%, and the 2020 Notes were priced at 99.164% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 8.25%.

The Notes were issued on March 26, 2010, and interest on the Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2018 Notes mature on March 15, 2018, and the 2020 Notes mature on March 15, 2020.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear. See Note 18, “Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements.”

The indenture governing the Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt, (ii) pay dividends and make other restricted payments, (iii) create or permit certain liens, (iv) issue or sell capital stock of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, (v) use the proceeds from sales of assets and subsidiary stock, (vi) create or permit restrictions on the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates, (viii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (ix) consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The foregoing limitations are subject to exceptions as set forth in the Notes. In addition, if in the future the Notes have an investment grade credit rating from both Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no default has occurred and is continuing, certain of these covenants will, thereafter, no longer apply to the Notes for so long as the Notes have an investment grade credit rating by both rating agencies. The indenture governing the Notes also contains customary events of default. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company’s amended and restated senior secured credit agreement provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility permits borrowings for general corporate and working capital purposes and the issuance of letters of credit. The commitments under the revolving credit facility expire on June 17, 2016. As of June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Advances under the revolving credit facility generally bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined) plus an adjustable margin of 1.375% to 3.0% based on the Company’s corporate rating (2.25% as of June 30, 2012), payable on the last day of each applicable interest period but in no event less frequently than quarterly, or (ii) the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined) plus an adjustable margin of 0.375% to 2.0% based on the Company’s corporate rating (1.25% as of June 30, 2012), payable quarterly. A facility fee is payable which ranges from 0.375% to 0.50% of the total amount committed under the revolving credit facility.

The Company’s obligations under the amended and restated senior secured credit agreement are secured on a first priority basis by a lien on substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, as well as 100% of the stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. In addition, obligations under the amended and restated senior secured credit agreement are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a first priority basis, by certain domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear. See Note 18, “Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements.”

The amended and restated senior secured credit agreement contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, including, without limitation, (i) covenants regarding maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage, (ii) limitations on fundamental changes involving the Company or its subsidiaries and (iii) limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments and restricted payments. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the agreement governing the amended and restated senior secured credit agreement.

For further information on the Notes and the revolving credit facility, see Note 8, “Long-Term Debt,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Subsequent Event

On July 24, 2012, the Company elected to redeem 10% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of each of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, which is August 24, 2012. In connection with this transaction, the Company expects to pay approximately $72 million and recognize a loss on the partial extinguishment of debt of approximately $4 million in the third quarter of 2012.

Contributions

Employer contributions to the Company’s domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were $20.4 million. The Company expects contributions to its domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans of $35 to $45 million in 2012, to be determined in part by the provisions of the pension stabilization legislation signed into law in July 2012. The Company may elect to make contributions in excess of minimum funding requirements in response to investment performance or changes in interest rates or when the Company believes that it is financially advantageous to do so and based on its other cash requirements.

Employer contributions to the Company’s defined contribution retirement program for its salaried employees, determined as a percentage of each covered employee’s eligible compensation, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were $8.4 million. The Company expects total contributions to this program of $14.5 million in 2012.

(10) Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net includes non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the sales of fixed assets and other miscellaneous income and expense. A summary of other expense, net is shown below (in millions):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2012			July 2, 2011			June 30, 2012			July 2, 2011

Other income		(3.2	)		(0.9	)		(5.7	)		(3.2	)

Other expense, net	$	10.2		$	8.0		$	10.5		$	5.2

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, other income includes a gain of $3.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively, resulting from insurance recoveries related to the destruction of property, plant and equipment. See Note 14, “Legal and Other Contingencies.”

For the six months ended July 2, 2011, other income includes a gain of $3.9 million related to a fair market value adjustment in conjunction with a transaction with an affiliate.

(11) Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $31.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, representing an effective tax rate of 19.2% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $165.8 million, as compared to $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2011, representing an effective tax rate of 9.8% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $201.5 million. The provision for income taxes was $71.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, representing an effective tax rate of 20.9% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $339.8 million, as compared to $59.7 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, representing an effective tax rate of 14.9% on a pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $400.1 million.

In the first half of 2012 and 2011, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The provision was also impacted by a portion of the Company’s restructuring charges and other expenses, for which no tax benefit was provided as the charges were incurred in certain countries for which no tax benefit is likely to be realized due to a

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

history of operating losses in those countries. In the first half of 2011, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $19.5 million related to the reversal of a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate in the first half of 2012 and 2011 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, foreign and U.S. valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.

The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is significantly impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries, particularly the United States. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by the U.S. and foreign valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions.

In connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the Company increased its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and retained its capital loss and tax credit carryforwards (collectively, the “Tax Attributes”). However, Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383 provide an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its Tax Attributes, as well as certain built-in-losses, against future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change in ownership. The Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings is considered a change in ownership for purposes of IRC Section 382. The limitation under the IRC is based on the value of the corporation as of the emergence date. As a result, the Company’s future U.S. taxable income may not be fully offset by the Tax Attributes if such income exceeds its annual limitation, and the Company may incur a tax liability with respect to such income. In addition, subsequent changes in ownership for purposes of the IRC could further limit the Company’s ability to use its Tax Attributes.

For further information , see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(12) Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear

Basic net income per share attributable to Lear is computed by dividing net income attributable to Lear by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares issuable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions pursuant to a contractual agreement, such as those common shares contemplated as part of the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, are considered common shares outstanding and are included in the computation of basic net income per share attributable to Lear.

Diluted net income per share attributable to Lear is computed using the treasury stock method by dividing net income attributable to Lear by the average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the average share price during the period.

A summary of information used to compute basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Lear is shown below (in millions, except share data):

Lear Corporation Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock Share Repurchase Program — The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a three year, $700 million common stock share repurchase program. Under this program, the Company will repurchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions at prices, times and amounts to be determined by the Company. The common stock repurchase authorization expires on February 16, 2014.

In the first half of 2012, the Company repurchased 2,942,771 shares of its outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $41.63 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of $122.5 million. In the first half of 2011, the Company repurchased 1,988,274 shares of its outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $50.29 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had repurchased 9,125,200 shares of its outstanding common stock and was authorized to repurchase an additional $298.4 million in shares of its outstanding common stock under this program. The extent to which the Company will repurchase its outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon its financial condition, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. In addition, the Company’s amended and restated credit facility and the indenture governing the Notes place certain limitations on the repurchase of common shares.

In addition to shares repurchased under the Company’s common stock share repurchase program described above, the Company classified shares withheld from the settlement of the Company’s restricted stock unit awards to cover minimum tax withholding requirements as common stock held in treasury in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Quarterly Dividend — In the first half of 2012 and 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.14 and $0.125 per share of common stock, respectively. In the first half of 2012, declared dividends totaled $28.4 million, and dividends paid totaled $27.6 million. In the first half of 2011, declared dividends totaled $26.8 million, and dividends paid totaled $25.7 million. Dividends payable on common shares to be distributed under the Company’s stock-based compensation program and common shares contemplated as part of the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings will be paid when such common shares are distributed.

Noncontrolling Interests

In the first half of 2012, the Company acquired a noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary. In the first half of 2011, the Company acquired a controlling interest in an affiliate previously accounted for under the equity method.

(14) Legal and Other Contingencies

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes and other matters, of $13.7 million and $17.0 million, respectively. Such reserves reflect amounts recognized in accordance with GAAP and typically exclude the cost of legal representation. Product liability and warranty reserves are recorded separately from legal reserves, as described below.

On October 5, 2011, a plaintiff filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against the Company and several other global suppliers of automotive wire harnesses alleging violations of federal and state antitrust and related laws. Since that time, a number of other plaintiffs have filed substantially similar class action complaints against the Company and these and other suppliers and individuals in a number of different federal district courts, and it is possible that additional similar lawsuits may be filed in the future. Plaintiffs purport to be direct and indirect purchasers of automotive wire harnesses supplied by the Company and/or the other defendants during the relevant period. The complaints allege that the defendants conspired to fix prices at which automotive wire harnesses were sold and that this had an anticompetitive effect upon interstate commerce in the United States. The complaints further allege that defendants fraudulently concealed their alleged conspiracy. The plaintiffs in these proceedings seek injunctive relief and recovery of an unspecified amount of damages, as well as costs and expenses relating to the proceedings, including attorneys’ fees. On February 7, 2012, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation entered an order transferring and coordinating the various civil actions, for pretrial purposes, into one proceeding in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. On May 14, 2012, three purported classes of plaintiffs—direct purchasers of automotive

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

wire harnesses; automotive dealers that indirectly purchased automotive wire harnesses or vehicles containing such harnesses; and indirect purchasers that purchased or leased vehicles containing automotive wire harnesses (or purchased replacement automotive wire harnesses for their vehicles) — filed consolidated amended complaints in the consolidated proceeding. With respect to the Company, the consolidated amended complaints are substantially similar to the individual complaints that had been filed in the various jurisdictions. On July 13, 2012, the Company filed a motion to have these actions dismissed for failure to state a claim for relief, because plaintiffs failed to plead a plausible claim against the Company and because, even if it existed, such a claim would be barred following the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy.

Beginning in early 2012, single putative class action complaints were filed in the Superior Courts of Justice in Ontario and Quebec against the Company and several other global suppliers of automotive wire harnesses alleging violations of Canadian laws related to competition. The allegations in this complaint are substantially similar to those complaints that have been filed in the United States.

On November 17, 2011, the Company filed a motion with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking entry of an order enforcing the Company’s 2009 Plan of Reorganization and directing dismissal of the pending class action complaints. The bankruptcy court heard oral argument on the motion and, on February 10, 2012, ruled that claims against the Company alleging violation of antitrust law are enjoined to the extent that they arose prior to the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on November 9, 2009. The bankruptcy court further held that the District Court was the appropriate forum to address antitrust claims arising after the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The Company is currently appealing the bankruptcy court’s decision on the issue of claims against the Company after November 9, 2009, not being enjoined.

The ultimate outcome of this litigation, and consequently, an estimate of the possible loss, if any, related to this litigation, cannot reasonably be determined at this time. However, the Company believes the plaintiffs’ allegations against it are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in these proceedings.

Commercial Disputes

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes with its customers, suppliers and competitors. These disputes vary in nature and are usually resolved by negotiations between the parties.

Product Liability and Warranty Matters

In the event that use of the Company’s products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or other losses, the Company may be subject to product liability lawsuits and other claims. Such lawsuits generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorney fees and costs. In addition, the Company is a party to warranty-sharing and other agreements with certain of its customers related to its products. These customers may pursue claims against the Company for contribution of all or a portion of the amounts sought in connection with product liability and warranty claims. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims. In addition, if any of the Company’s products are, or are alleged to be, defective, the Company may be required or requested by its customers to participate in a recall or other corrective action involving such products. Certain of the Company’s customers have asserted claims against the Company for costs related to recalls or other corrective actions involving its products.

In certain instances, allegedly defective products may be supplied by tier 2 suppliers. The Company may seek recovery from its suppliers of materials or services included within the Company’s products that are associated with product liability and warranty claims. The Company carries insurance for certain legal matters, including product liability claims, but such coverage may be limited. The Company does not maintain insurance for product warranty or recall matters. Future dispositions with respect to the Company’s product liability claims that were subject to compromise under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings will be satisfied out of a common stock and warrant reserve established for that purpose.

The Company records product warranty reserves based on its individual customer agreements. Product warranty reserves are recorded for known warranty issues when liability for such issues is probable and related amounts are reasonably estimable.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to local, state, federal and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances which govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects and which impose liability for clean-up costs resulting from past spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous wastes and environmental compliance. The Company’s policy is to comply with all applicable environmental laws and to maintain an environmental management program based on ISO 14001 to ensure compliance with this standard. However, the Company currently is, has been and in the future may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures.

The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party at several third-party landfill sites and is engaged in the cleanup of hazardous waste at certain sites owned, leased or operated by the Company, including several properties acquired in its 1999 acquisition of UT Automotive, Inc. (“UT Automotive”). Certain present and former properties of UT Automotive are subject to environmental liabilities which may be significant. The Company obtained agreements and indemnities with respect to certain environmental liabilities from United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”) in connection with its acquisition of UT Automotive. UTC manages and directly funds these environmental liabilities pursuant to its agreements and indemnities with the Company.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had recorded environmental reserves of $3.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The Company does not believe that the environmental liabilities associated with its current and former properties will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; however, no assurances can be given in this regard.

Other Matters

The Company is involved from time to time in various other legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, intellectual property matters, tax claims and employment matters. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that any of these other legal proceedings or claims in which the Company is currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, no assurances can be given in this regard.

Although the Company records reserves for legal disputes, product liability and warranty claims and environmental and other matters in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from current estimates.

Insurance Recoveries

The Company has incurred losses and incremental costs related to the destruction of assets caused by a fire at one of its European production facilities in the third quarter of 2011 and is pursuing, and will continue to pursue, recovery of such costs under applicable insurance policies. Anticipated proceeds from insurance recoveries related to losses and incremental costs that have been incurred (“loss recoveries”) are recognized when receipt is probable. Anticipated proceeds from insurance recoveries in excess of the net book value of destroyed property, plant and equipment (“insurance gain contingencies”) are recognized when all contingencies related to the claim have been resolved. Loss recoveries related to the destruction of inventory and incremental costs are included in costs of sales, and loss recoveries and insurance gain contingencies related to the destruction of property, plant and equipment are included in other expense, net. Cash proceeds related to the destruction of inventory and incremental costs are included in cash flows from operating activities, and cash proceeds related to the destruction of property, plant and equipment are included in cash flows from investing activities.

Through the first half of 2012, the Company incurred cumulative losses and incremental costs of $41.8 million ($7.1 million and $17.8 million incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively). The Company also recognized in cost of sales cumulative loss recoveries of $30.3 million ($10.2 million and $20.2 million recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively) and cumulative loss recoveries and insurance gain contingencies in other expense of $8.5 million ($3.5 million and $5.1 million recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively).

(15) Segment Reporting

The Company has two reportable operating segments: seating, which includes seat systems and related components, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks, seat trim covers, headrests and seat foam, and electrical power management systems (“EPMS”), which includes wiring, connectors, junction boxes and various other components of electrical distribution systems for traditional powertrain vehicles, as well as for hybrid and electric vehicles. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment.

The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on (i) revenues from external customers, (ii) pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense and other expense (“segment earnings”) and (iii) cash flows, defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization.

(16) Financial Instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s debt instruments vary from their fair values. The fair values were determined by reference to the quoted market prices of these securities (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). As of June 30, 2012, the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s Notes was $695.6 million, as compared to an estimated aggregate fair value of $778.3 million. As of December 31, 2011, the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s Notes was $695.4 million, as compared to an estimated aggregate fair value of $764.6 million.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has used derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices and the resulting variability of the Company’s operating results. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives. On the date that a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge) or (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge).

Foreign exchange—The Company uses forwards, swaps and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments are intended to offset gains and losses on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the Chinese renminbi and the Canadian dollar. Forwards, swaps and other derivative contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges when the hedged item is a forecasted transaction or relates to the variability of cash flows to be received or paid. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, contracts designated as cash flow hedges with $588.6 million and $585.7 million, respectively, of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than 18 months and 17 months, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of these contracts was approximately ($3.4) million and ($39.1) million, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, other foreign currency derivative contracts that did not qualify for hedge accounting with $82.6 million and $148.4 million, respectively, of notional amount were outstanding. These foreign currency derivative contracts consist principally of hedges of cash transactions of up to ten months, hedges of intercompany loans and hedges of certain other balance sheet exposures. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of these contracts was approximately ($3.4) million and ($5.4) million, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, net sales includes gains of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency derivative contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, cost of sales includes losses of $5.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency derivative contracts. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, net sales includes losses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency derivative contracts. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, cost of sales includes gains of $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency derivative contracts.

Interest rate—Historically, the Company used interest rate swap and other derivative contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rate swap and other derivative contracts which fix the interest payments of certain variable rate debt instruments or fix the market rate component of anticipated fixed rate debt instruments are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Interest rate swap and other derivative contracts which hedge the change in fair value of certain fixed rate debt instruments are accounted for as fair value hedges. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no interest rate contracts outstanding. The Company will continue to evaluate, and may use, derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts to manage its exposures to fluctuations in interest rates in the future.

Commodity prices—The Company uses derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in certain commodity prices. These derivative instruments are utilized to hedge forecasted inventory purchases and to the extent that they qualify and meet hedge accounting criteria, they are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Commodity swap contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges are marked to market with changes in fair value recognized immediately in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Note 10, “Other Expense, Net.” As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, commodity swap contracts with $1.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than four months and ten months, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair market value of these contracts was approximately zero and ($0.3) million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, pretax net losses of approximately $3.4 million and $39.4 million, respectively, related to the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, the Company reclassified net gains (losses) of approximately ($5.0) million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to its hedging activities from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, the Company reclassified net gains (losses) of approximately ($6.1) million and $2.2 million, respectively, related to its hedging activities from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. During the twelve month period ending June 29, 2013, the Company expects to reclassify into earnings net losses of approximately $5.0 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2012. Such losses will be reclassified at the time that the underlying hedged transactions are realized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, amounts recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income related to changes in the fair value of cash flow and fair value hedges excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow and fair value hedges were not material. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, other expense, net includes gains of $1.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivative contracts that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

Fair Value Measurements

GAAP provides that fair value is an exit price, defined as a market-based measurement that represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

Market:

This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Income:

This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations.

Cost:

This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

Further, GAAP prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used in the valuation techniques described above into a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1:

Observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2:

Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the exit price of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may be used if there is little or no market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company discloses fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for its assets and liabilities that are measured or disclosed at fair value.

Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis—Fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, are shown below (in millions):

Commodity swap contracts		Recurring	$	(0.3	)		Market/Income	$	—	$	(0.3	)	$	—

The Company determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounts such forward values to the present value. The discount rates used are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates. If a derivative contract is in a net liability position, these discount rates are adjusted by an estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the Company’s counterparties. To estimate this credit spread, the Company uses significant assumptions and factors other than quoted market rates, which would result in the classification of its derivative liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, to the extent that such adjustment is necessary. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no derivative contracts that were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the first half of 2012.

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis—The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As a result of the Guilford acquisition, provisional Level 3 fair value estimates related to property, plant and equipment of $93.0 million and intangible assets of $53.0 million were recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012. For further information on these provisional fair value measurements, see Note 2, “Acquisition.” As of December 31, 2011, there were no significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

(17) Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” with ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which revises the manner in which comprehensive income is presented in an entity’s financial statements. This update requires the presentation of the components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The option to present comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity has been eliminated. The provisions of this update were effective as of January 1, 2012, and the Company has included a condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Fair Value Measurements

The FASB amended ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” with ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This update provides converged guidance on how to measure fair value, which is largely consistent with existing GAAP. This update also requires additional fair value measurement disclosures. The provisions of this update were effective as of January 1, 2012. The effects of adoption were not significant.

LEAR CORPORATION

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1987 and are a leading tier 1 supplier to the global automotive industry. We supply our products to virtually every major automotive manufacturer in the world.

We supply automotive manufacturers with complete automotive seat systems and related components, as well as electrical distribution systems and related components. Our strategy is to focus on our core capabilities, selective vertical integration and investments in technology; leverage our global presence and expand our low-cost footprint; and enhance and diversify our strong customer relationships through our operational performance.

Industry Overview

Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers, which is ultimately dependent on consumer and fleet demand for automotive vehicles, and our level of content on specific vehicle platforms, as well as the portion of such content manufactured internally. Automotive sales and production can be affected by general economic or industry conditions, the age of the vehicle fleet and related scrappage rates, labor relations issues, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements, the availability and cost of credit, the availability of critical components needed to complete the production of vehicles and other factors. Our operating results are also significantly impacted by the overall commercial success of the vehicle platforms for which we supply particular products, as well as the profitability of the products that we supply for these platforms. In addition, it is possible that our customers could elect to manufacture our products internally. The loss of business with respect to any vehicle model for which we are a significant supplier, or a decrease in the production levels of any such models, could have a material adverse impact on our operating results. In addition, larger cars and light trucks, as well as vehicle platforms that offer more features and functionality, such as luxury, sport utility and crossover vehicles, typically have more content and, therefore, tend to have a more significant impact on our operating results.

Global industry production volumes have improved significantly in recent years from the decline experienced in 2008 and 2009 as a result of the global economic downturn. In the first six months of 2012, global vehicle production increased by approximately 9% from a year ago levels to 40.4 million units. North American industry production increased by approximately 22% from a year ago levels to 7.9 million units. Business condition in Europe, however, were challenging, and European industry production decreased by approximately 7% from a year ago levels to 9.0 million units.

The majority of our sales continue to be derived from automotive manufacturers based in North America and Europe. Our ability to reduce the risks inherent in certain concentrations of business, and thereby maintain our financial performance in the future, will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to diversify our sales on a customer, product, platform and geographic basis to reflect the market overall.

Our customers require us to reduce our prices over the life of a vehicle model and, at the same time, assume significant responsibility for the design, development and engineering of our products. Our financial performance is largely dependent on our ability to achieve product cost reductions through design enhancement and supply chain management, as well as manufacturing efficiencies and restructuring actions. We also seek to enhance our financial performance by investing in product development, design capabilities and new product initiatives that respond to the needs of our customers and consumers. We continually evaluate operational and strategic alternatives to align our business with the changing needs of our customers and improve our business structure by investing in vertical integration opportunities.

Our material cost as a percentage of net sales was 68.4% in the first half of 2012, as compared to 68.6% in 2011. Raw material, energy and commodity costs have been volatile over the past several years. Unfavorable industry conditions in recent years have also resulted in financial distress within our supply base and an increase in the risk of supply disruption. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy and commodity costs, such as the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, financial hedges for certain commodities and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. However, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, typically offset only a portion of the adverse impact. These costs remain volatile and could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future.

LEAR CORPORATION

See “— Forward-Looking Statements” below and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Financial Measures

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus primarily on earnings, operating margins, cash flows and return on invested capital. In addition to maintaining and expanding our business with our existing customers in our more established markets, our expansion plans are focused primarily on emerging markets. Asia, in particular, continues to present significant growth opportunities, as major global automotive manufacturers implement production expansion plans and local automotive manufacturers aggressively expand their operations to meet demand in this region. We currently have 20 joint ventures with operations in Asia, as well as an additional three joint ventures in North America and Europe dedicated to serving Asian automotive manufacturers. In addition, we have aggressively pursued this strategy by selectively increasing our vertical integration capabilities globally, as well as expanding our component manufacturing capacity in Mexico, Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia. Furthermore, we have expanded our low-cost engineering capabilities in China, India and the Philippines.

Our success in generating cash flow will depend, in part, on our ability to manage working capital effectively. Working capital can be significantly impacted by the timing of cash flows from sales and purchases. Historically, we have generally been successful in aligning our vendor payment terms with our customer payment terms. However, our ability to continue to do so may be adversely impacted by the unfavorable financial results of our suppliers and adverse automotive industry conditions, as well as our financial results. In addition, our cash flow is impacted by our ability to manage our inventory and capital spending effectively. We utilize return on invested capital as a measure of the efficiency with which assets are deployed to increase our earnings. Improvements in our return on invested capital will depend on our ability to maintain an appropriate asset base for our business and to increase productivity and operating efficiency.

Acquisition

On May 31, 2012, we completed the acquisition of Guilford Mills (“Guilford”), a privately-held portfolio company of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. that manufactures fabrics for the automotive and specialty markets, for approximately $246 million, net of cash acquired. Amounts payable to Guilford of approximately $9 million related to purchases of raw materials were also settled as of the acquisition date. Guilford is headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina and has annual sales of approximately $400 million with operations in North America, Europe and Asia. In the first half of 2012, we incurred approximately $5 million of acquisition and other costs related to this transaction.

Operational Restructuring

In 2005, we initiated a multi-year operational restructuring strategy to (i) eliminate excess capacity and lower our operating costs, (ii) streamline our organizational structure and reposition our business for improved long-term profitability and (iii) better align our manufacturing capabilities with the changing needs of our customers. In light of industry conditions and customer announcements, we expanded this strategy. Through the end of 2011, we incurred pretax restructuring costs of approximately $804 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of $76 million.

In the first half of 2012, we incurred additional restructuring costs of approximately $8 million as we continued to restructure our global operations and aggressively reduce our costs. Cash expenditures related to our restructuring actions, which primarily consisted of employee termination benefit payments, totaled $57 million in the first six months of 2012. We expect annual restructuring actions and related investments to moderate in the current year and thereafter. Our restructuring strategy has resulted in the closure of 48 manufacturing and 11 administrative facilities and a current footprint with more than 80% of our component facilities and more than 90% of our related employment in 22 low-cost countries.

Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, fixed asset impairment charges and contract termination costs, as well as other incremental costs resulting from the restructuring actions. These incremental costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs. Although each restructuring action is unique, based upon the nature of our operations, we expect that the components of future restructuring costs will be consistent with our historical experience. We also incur incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating locations impacted by the restructuring actions during the related restructuring implementation period. Restructuring costs are recognized in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Generally, charges are recorded as restructuring actions are approved and/or implemented. Actual costs recorded in our consolidated financial statements may vary from current estimates.

For further information, see Note 3, “Restructuring,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

LEAR CORPORATION

Share Repurchase Program, and Quarterly Cash Dividend

Our Board of Directors has authorized a three year, $700 million common stock share repurchase program, which expires in February 2014. In February and May 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share of common stock. For further information, see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and Note 13, “Comprehensive Income and Equity,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Other Matters

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized income of $15 million related to our portion of an affiliate’s reversal of a valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.

In the six months ended July 2, 2011, we recognized a gain of $4 million related to an affiliate transaction. In the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, we recognized a tax benefit of $20 million related to the reversal of a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 were $3.7 billion. New business and the acquisition of Guilford positively impacted net sales by $175 million and $30 million, respectively. These increases were offset by net foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $197 million.

Cost of sales in the second quarter of 2012 was $3.4 billion, as compared to $3.3 billion in the second quarter of 2011. This increase is primarily due to the impact of new business, offset by net foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Gross profit and gross margin were $315 million and 8.6%, respectively, in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $347 million and 9.4%, respectively, in the quarter ended July 2, 2011. Gross profit was negatively impacted by higher product and facility launch costs and program development costs, as well as lower production volumes on key Lear platforms. The impact of favorable operating performance and the benefit of operational restructuring actions and new business was offset by selling price reductions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were $117 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $119 million in the three months ended July 2, 2011. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 3.2% in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011.

Amortization of intangible assets was $7 million in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011.

Interest expense was $14 million in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to $11 million in the second quarter of 2011. This increase includes the impact of indirect tax matters in foreign jurisdictions in the current period.

Other expense, net, which includes, non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the sales of fixed assets and other miscellaneous income and expense, was $10 million in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to $8 million in the second quarter of 2011.

The provision for income taxes was $32 million for the second quarter of 2012, representing an effective tax rate of 19.2% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $166 million, as compared to $20 million for the second quarter of 2011, representing an effective tax rate of 9.8% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $202 million. In the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The provision was also impacted by a portion of our restructuring charges and other expenses, for which no tax benefit was provided as the charges were incurred in certain countries for which no tax benefit is likely to be realized due to a history of operating losses in those countries. In the second quarter of 2011, we recognized a tax benefit of $20 million related to the reversal of a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, foreign and U.S. valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.

LEAR CORPORATION

Our current and future provision for income taxes is significantly impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries, particularly the United States. We intend to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by the U.S. and foreign valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions.

As of December 31, 2011, we had a valuation allowance related to tax loss and credit carryforwards and other deferred tax assets of $880 million in the United States and $517 million in several international jurisdictions. If we continue to generate pretax earnings in the United States in 2012 and our forecasted earnings thereafter remain favorable, we may reverse a significant portion of the U.S. valuation allowance in the second half of 2012. In addition, if we experience sustained levels of profitability in certain international jurisdictions in the future, our assessment of the need for a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions could change. A reduction in our valuation allowance could have a significant impact on tax expense and net income in the period in which such reduction occurs.

Equity in net income of affiliates was $21 million in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to $4 million in the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, we recognized income of $15 million related to our portion of an affiliate’s reversal of a valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. The increase also reflects the improved performance of our equity affiliates.

Net income attributable to Lear in the second quarter of 2012 was $145 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, as compared to $178 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011, for the reasons described above.

Reportable Operating Segments

We have two reportable operating segments: seating, which includes seat systems and related components, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks, seat trim covers, headrests and seat foam, and electrical power management systems (“EPMS”), which includes wiring, connectors, junction boxes and various other components of electrical distribution systems for traditional powertrain vehicles, as well as for hybrid and electric vehicles. The financial information presented below is for our two reportable operating segments and our other category for the periods presented. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate and regional headquarters costs include various support functions, such as information technology, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources. Financial measures regarding each segment’s pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense and other expense (“segment earnings”) and segment earnings divided by net sales (“margin”) are not measures of performance under GAAP. Segment earnings and the related margin are used by management to evaluate the performance of our reportable operating segments. Segment earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income attributable to Lear, net cash provided by operating activities or other statement of comprehensive income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as measures of profitability or liquidity. In addition, segment earnings, as we determine it, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of consolidated segment earnings to consolidated income before provision for income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates, see Note 15, “Segment Reporting,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

LEAR CORPORATION

Seating net sales were $2.8 billion in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to $2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of $67 million or 2.3%. Net foreign exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted net sales by $148 million. This decrease was partially offset by new business and the Guilford acquisition, which positively impacted net sales by $74 million and $30 million, respectively. Segment earnings, including restructuring costs, and the related margin on net sales were $184 million and 6.6%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to $223 million and 7.8%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2011. Segment earnings were negatively impacted by higher product and facility launch costs and program development costs, as well as lower production volumes on key Lear platforms. The impact of selling price reductions was partially offset by favorable operating performance and the benefit of operational restructuring actions.

Segment earnings, including restructuring costs, and the related margin on net sales were $59 million and 6.7%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to $49 million and 5.9%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2011. New business and improved production volumes on key Lear platforms were partially offset by higher product and facility launch costs and program development costs. Favorable operating performance and the benefit of operational restructuring actions were largely offset by the impact of selling price reductions.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 vs. Six Months Ended July 2, 2011

Net sales in the first six months of 2012 were $7.3 billion, as compared to $7.2 billion in first six months of 2011, an increase of $121 million or 1.7%. New business positively impacted net sales by $328 million. These increases were largely offset by net foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $265 million.

Cost of sales in the first six months of 2012 was $6.7 billion, as compared to $6.5 billion in the first six months of 2011. This increase is primarily due to the impact of new business, largely offset by net foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Gross profit and gross margin were $624 million and 8.5%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $670 million and 9.3%, respectively, in the six months ended July 2, 2011. Gross profit was negatively impacted by higher product and facility launch costs and program development costs, as well as lower production volumes on key Lear platforms. The impact of favorable operating performance and the benefit of operational restructuring actions and new business was largely offset by selling price reductions.

LEAR CORPORATION

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were $233 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $237 million in the six months ended July 2, 2011. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses declined to 3.2% in the first half of 2012, as compared to 3.3% in the first half of 2011.

Amortization of intangible assets was $14 million in the first half of 2012 and 2011.

Interest expense was $27 million in the first six months of 2012, as compared to $14 million in the first six months of 2011. This increase was primarily due to the refund of interest in 2011 related to a favorable settlement of an indirect tax matter in a foreign jurisdiction.

Other expense, net, which includes non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the sales of fixed assets and other miscellaneous income and expense, was $11 million in the first six months of 2012, as compared to $5 million in the first six months of 2011, reflecting a gain of $4 million related to an affiliate transaction recognized in 2011 and an increase in foreign exchange losses in the current period.

The provision for income taxes was $71 million for the first six months of 2012, representing an effective tax rate of 20.9% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $340 million, as compared to $60 million for the first six months of 2011, representing an effective tax rate of 14.9% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $400 million. In the first six months of 2012 and 2011, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The provision was also impacted by a portion of our restructuring charges and other expenses, for which no tax benefit was provided as the charges were incurred in certain countries for which no tax benefit is likely to be realized due to a history of operating losses in those countries. In the first six months of 2011, we recognized a tax benefit of $20 million related to the reversal of a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate in the first six months of 2012 and 2011 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, foreign and U.S. valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.

For a description of our valuation allowances, see “Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 vs. Three Months Ended July 2, 2011,” above.

Equity in net income of affiliates was $30 million in the first half of 2012, as compared to $8 million in the first half of 2011. In the first half of 2012, we recognized income of $15 million related to our portion of an affiliate’s reversal of a valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. The increase between periods also reflects the improved performance of our equity affiliates.

Net income attributable to Lear in the first six months of 2012 was $280 million, or $2.76 per diluted share, as compared to $334 million, or $3.09 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2012, for the reasons described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund general business requirements, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures, operational restructuring actions and debt service requirements. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under available credit facilities and our existing cash balance. A substantial portion of our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, we are dependent on the earnings and cash flows of and the combination of dividends, royalties, intercompany loan repayments and other distributions and advances from our subsidiaries to provide the funds necessary to meet our obligations. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Lear. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $1.3 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents on hand to support our liquidity needs. The decrease of $422 million reflects $246 million, net of cash acquired, related to the Guilford acquisition and $150 million related to the repurchase of common stock and dividends paid to our stockholders. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents of $802 million and $931 million, respectively, were held in foreign subsidiaries and can be repatriated primarily through the repayment of intercompany loans without creating additional income tax expense. For further information regarding potential dividends from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

LEAR CORPORATION

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $160 million in the first six months of 2012, as compared to $361 million in the first six months of 2011. The net change in recoverable customer engineering, development and tooling and working capital items resulted in an incremental decrease in operating cash flow of $115 million between periods. This decrease is primarily due to cash payments related to previously accrued restructuring activities and the launch of several new products and facilities, as well as to support our new business. Lower earnings in the first six months of 2012 also resulted in a decrease in operating cash flow between periods. In the first six months of 2012, increases in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable resulted in a use of cash of $399 million, a use of cash of $93 million and a source of cash of $330 million, respectively, primarily reflecting the impact of industry volumes in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities was $422 million in the first six months of 2012, as compared to $136 million in the first six months of 2011. This increase was primarily due to cash paid for the Guilford acquisition of $246 million, net of cash acquired, as well as an increase in capital expenditures of $24 million between periods. Capital spending in 2012 is estimated at approximately $460 million, which includes approximately $25 million of replacement assets associated with a fire in 2011. We expect to receive recovery for the replacement assets through related insurance proceeds.

Net cash used in financing activities was $152 million in the first six months of 2012, as compared to $153 million in the first six months of 2011. In first six months of 2012, we repurchased $123 million of our common stock, as compared to repurchases of $100 million in the first six months of 2011. In addition, we paid $4 million and $18 million in dividends to noncontrolling interests in the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. For further information regarding our share repurchase program, see “— Capitalization,” below and Note 13, “Comprehensive Income and Equity,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Capitalization

From time to time, we utilize uncommitted credit facilities to fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements at certain of our foreign subsidiaries, as well as uncommitted lines of credit for our short-term working capital fluctuations, in addition to cash provided by operating activities. As of June 30, 2012, there were no short-term debt balances outstanding. For the six months ended July 2, 2011, our average outstanding short-term debt balance was $3 million, and the weighted average interest rate on our short-term debt balances was 6.7%. The availability of uncommitted lines of credit may be affected by our financial performance, credit ratings and other factors.

Senior Notes

As of June 30, 2012, our long-term debt consisted of $350 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2018 at a stated coupon rate of 7.875% (the “2018 Notes”) and $350 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior unsecured notes due 2020 at a stated coupon rate of 8.125% (the “2020 Notes” and together with the 2018 Notes, the “Notes”). As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $696 million and $695 million, respectively, of Notes outstanding.

On July 24, 2012, we elected to redeem 10% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of each of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, which is August 24, 2012. In connection with this transaction, we expect to pay approximately $72 million and recognize a loss on the partial extinguishment of debt of approximately $4 million in the third quarter of 2012.

Scheduled cash interest payments on the Notes are approximately $28 million in the last six months of 2012. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Notes.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations. Our obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear.

For further information related to the Notes, including information on early redemption, covenants and events of default, see Note 8, “Long-Term Debt,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 8, “Long-Term Debt,” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $500 million revolving credit facility, which permits borrowings for general corporate and working capital purposes and the issuance of letters of credit. The commitments under the revolving credit facility expire on June 17, 2016. As of June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the agreement governing the revolving credit facility.

LEAR CORPORATION

For further information related to the revolving credit facility, including information on pricing, covenants and events of default, see Note 8, “Long-Term Debt,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 8, “Long-Term Debt,” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees and Commitments

We guarantee 49% of certain of the debt of one of our unconsolidated affiliates, Tacle Seating USA, LLC. As of June 30, 2012, the aggregate amount of debt guaranteed was approximately $1 million.

Common Stock Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized a three year, $700 million common stock share repurchase program, which permits the discretionary repurchase of our outstanding common stock through February 16, 2014. In the first half of 2012, we repurchased 2,942,771 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $41.63 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of $123 million. As of June 30, 2012, we had repurchased 9,125,200 shares of our outstanding common stock and were authorized to repurchase an additional $298 million in shares of our outstanding common stock under this program. The extent to which we will repurchase our outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon our financial condition, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. In addition, our amended and restated credit facility and the indenture governing the Notes place certain limitations on the repurchase of common shares. See “—Forward-Looking Statements.”

Dividends

A summary of 2012 dividend declarations is shown below:


Dividend Amount	Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date
$0.14	February 9, 2012	March 2, 2012	March 21, 2012
$0.14	May 16, 2012	June 7, 2012	June 26, 2012

We currently expect to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future, although such payments are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, alternative uses of capital and other factors that our Board of Directors may consider at its discretion. In addition, our amended and restated credit facility and the indenture governing the Notes place certain limitations on the payment of cash dividends.

Adequacy of Liquidity Sources

As of June 30, 2012, we had approximately $1.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $500 million in available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Together with cash provided by operating activities, we believe this will enable us to meet our liquidity needs to satisfy ordinary course business obligations. However, our future financial results and our ability to continue to meet such liquidity needs are subject to, and will be affected by, cash flows from operations, including the impact of restructuring activities, automotive industry conditions, the financial condition of our customers and suppliers and other related factors outside of our control. Additionally, an economic downturn or reduction in production levels could negatively impact our financial condition. For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties affecting our cash flows from operations and overall liquidity, see “— Executive Overview” above, “— Forward-Looking Statements” below and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Market Risk Sensitivity

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We manage a portion of these risks through the use of derivative financial instruments in accordance with management’s guidelines. We enter into all hedging transactions for periods consistent with the underlying exposures. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Exchange

Operating results may be impacted by our buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currency of our operating companies (“transactional exposure”). We may mitigate a portion of this risk by entering into forward foreign exchange,

LEAR CORPORATION

futures and option contracts. The foreign exchange contracts are executed with banks that we believe are creditworthy. Gains and losses related to foreign exchange contracts are deferred where appropriate and included in the measurement of the foreign currency transaction subject to the hedge. Gains and losses incurred related to foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by the direct effects of currency movements on the underlying transactions.

Currently, our most significant foreign currency transactional exposures relate to the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the Chinese renminbi and the Canadian dollar. We have performed a quantitative analysis of our overall currency rate exposure as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the potential adverse earnings impact related to net transactional exposures from a hypothetical 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period is approximately ($20) million. In addition, the potential earnings benefit related to net transactional exposures from a similar strengthening of the Euro relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period is approximately $18 million. As of December 31, 2011, the potential adverse earnings impact related to net transactional exposures from a hypothetical 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period is approximately ($21) million. In addition, the potential earnings benefit related to net transactional exposures from a similar strengthening of the Euro relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period is approximately $3 million.

As of June 30, 2012, foreign exchange contracts representing $671 million of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than 18 months. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of these contracts was approximately ($7) million. A 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed would have resulted in a $30 million change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts. A 10% change in the value of the Euro relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed would have resulted in a $10 million change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts. As of December 31, 2011, foreign exchange contracts representing $734 million of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than 17 months. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of these contracts was approximately ($45) million. A 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed would have resulted in a $30 million change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts. A 10% change in the value of the Euro relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed would have resulted in a $14 million change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts.

There are certain shortcomings inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented. The analysis assumes that all currencies would uniformly strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar or Euro. In reality, some currencies may strengthen while others may weaken, causing the earnings impact to increase or decrease depending on the currency and the direction of the exchange rate movement.

In addition to the transactional exposure described above, our operating results are impacted by the translation of our foreign operating income into U.S. dollars (“translational exposure”). In 2011, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 82% of our consolidated net sales, although certain non-U.S. sales are U.S. dollar denominated. We do not enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate our translational exposure.

Interest Rates

Historically, we have used interest rate swap and other derivative contracts to manage our exposure to variable interest rates on outstanding variable rate debt instruments indexed to U.S. or European Monetary Union short-term money market rates. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no interest rate contracts outstanding. We will continue to evaluate, and may use, derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts to manage our exposures to fluctuations in interest rates in the future.

Commodity Prices

Raw material, energy and commodity costs have been volatile over the past several years. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy and commodity costs, such as the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, financial hedges for certain commodities and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. However, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, typically offset only a portion of the adverse impact. These costs remain volatile and could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future. See “— Forward-Looking Statements” below and Item 1A, “Risk Factors — Increases in the costs and restrictions on the availability of raw materials, energy, commodities and product components could adversely affect our financial performance,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

We have commodity price risk with respect to purchases of certain raw materials, including steel, copper, diesel fuel, chemicals, resins and leather. Our main cost exposures relate to steel and copper. The majority of the steel used in our products is comprised of

LEAR CORPORATION

components that are integrated into a seat system, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks and mechanical components. Therefore, our exposure to steel prices is primarily indirect, through these purchased components. Approximately 80% of our copper purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers.

We use derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in copper prices. As of June 30, 2012, commodity swap contracts representing $1 million of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than four months. As of June 30, 2012, the fair market value of these contracts was approximately zero. A 10% parallel change in the copper curve would have resulted in a less than $1 million change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts. As of December 31, 2011, commodity swap contracts representing $3 million of notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than twelve months. As of December 31, 2011, the fair market value of these contracts was less than ($1) million. A 10% parallel change in the copper curve would have resulted in a less than $1 million change in the aggregate fair value of these contracts.

OTHER MATTERS

Legal and Environmental Matters

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial and contractual disputes, product liability claims and environmental and other matters. As of June 30, 2012, we had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes and other matters, of $14 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, we had recorded reserves for product liability claims and environmental matters of $21 million and $4 million, respectively. Although these reserves were determined in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ significantly from current estimates. For a description of risks related to various legal proceedings and claims, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. For a more complete description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 14, “Legal and Other Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain of our accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and suppliers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. However, these estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. As a result, actual results in these areas may differ significantly from our estimates. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates,” and Note 4, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the first six months of 2012.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)	Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Based on the evaluation described above, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the desired control objectives were achieved as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

(b)	Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
