electrical and electronic systems, today announced that it has revised its full year 2019 financial outlook and reported preliminary second quarter 2019 results. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company indicated that its financial results in the first half of 2019 were negatively impacted by continued declines in industry production volumes and
other macroeconomic headwinds, including continued weakening of global currencies against the U.S. dollar. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Previously, we indicated that we
anticipated an increase in industry production volumes in the second half of the year and an associated improvement in sales and earnings. We now believe general macroeconomic and industry factors will continue to put pressure on sales and earnings
throughout the remainder of 2019,&#148; said Ray Scott, Lear&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;We are aggressively responding to the current environment. We have already undertaken significant restructuring actions and are
currently developing a comprehensive operational and organizational plan designed to further reduce costs and improve profitability.&nbsp;We intend to increase our 2019 restructuring program to $200&nbsp;million.&nbsp;The additional $60&nbsp;million
in restructuring cost is intended to reduce capacity, improve our manufacturing footprint and organizational efficiency, and position our business for continued success in the future. We look forward to providing additional detail on our
restructuring program and our operational and organizational plans more broadly on our second quarter earnings call later this month.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Revised

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The assumptions underlying Lear&#146;s current 2019 financial outlook are derived from several sources, including internal
estimates, customer production schedules, and the most recent IHS production estimates for Lear&#146;s vehicle platforms. The 2019 outlook assumes an average full year exchange rate of $1.12 for the Euro and 6.85 RMB/$. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the midpoint of Lear&#146;s current 2019 outlook, sales are expected to be $20.1&nbsp;billion, down 5% from 2018. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange
and acquisitions, sales are expected to be down 2% year over year, reflecting lower production on key Lear platforms, partially offset by the addition of new business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Core operating earnings at the midpoint of Lear&#146;s current 2019 outlook are expected to be approximately 7.0% of sales compared to 8.3% of sales in 2018.
The margin decline results primarily from the decrease in sales, which is partially offset by favorable operating performance. Adjusted margins in the Seating segment are expected to be approximately 8.0%. Adjusted margins in the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">E-Systems</FONT> segment are expected to be in the mid-8% range, including the impact of the Xevo acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Certain of
the forward-looking financial measures above are provided on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP because to do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event driven transactional and other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-core</FONT> operating

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lear expects second quarter sales to be approximately $5.0&nbsp;billion, down 10% from 2018 (down 7% excluding the impact of foreign exchange and
acquisitions), and core operating earnings to be approximately 7.0% of sales. Adjusted margins in Lear&#146;s Seating and E-Systems segments are expected to be approximately 8.2% and 8.0% (including the impact of the Xevo acquisition), respectively.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Seating division performed well in the quarter against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop, with second quarter margins expected to exceed first
quarter margins by approximately 60 basis points. As anticipated and communicated on Lear&#146;s first quarter earnings call, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">E-Systems&#146;</FONT> margins in the second quarter were lower than in the first quarter
due primarily to lower volumes on key programs. Incremental investments, including the decision to execute certain strategic commercial agreements that support growth, also affected segment margins. </P>

provide for a specified quantity of production, and many of these contracts may be terminated by the Company&#146;s customers at any time. Therefore, these contracts do not represent firm orders. Further, the calculation of the sales backlog does
not reflect customer price reductions on existing or newly awarded programs. The sales backlog may be impacted by various assumptions embedded in the calculation, including vehicle production levels on new programs, foreign exchange rates and the
timing of major program launches. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does not assume
