PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INTRODUCTION TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Lear Corporation and subsidiaries 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 ("GAAP") 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, 2019.
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 automotive seating and electrical distribution systems and related components. The Company’s main customers are automotive original equipment manufacturers. The Company operates facilities worldwide.
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 all entities, including 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.
In the second quarter of 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Xevo Inc. (“Xevo”), a Seattle-based, global leader in connected car software, by acquiring all of Xevo's outstanding shares. The acquisition of Xevo has been accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The operating results and cash flows of Xevo are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and in the Company's E-Systems segment. For further information related to the acquisition of Xevo, see Note 3, “Acquisition,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
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.
(2) Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
Unprecedented industry disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of 2020 impacted operations in every region of the world. Our operations in China were impacted first, with most plants in the country closed for several weeks during the quarter. At the end of the quarter, all of our facilities in China were operating and capacity utilization is increasing. Beginning in mid-March, our operations in Europe, North America, South America and Asia (excluding China) were impacted, with virtually all plants closed at the end of the quarter and closures continuing throughout April and, in most cases, into May. While manufacturing has resumed at certain locations in Europe and North America, production levels at these facilities are currently well below capacity. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a material impact on the Company's second quarter 2020 sales, operating results and cash flows.
It is also likely that the global automotive industry will experience lower demand for new vehicle sales for a period of time as a result of the global economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as new vehicle sales are correlated with positive consumer confidence and low unemployment. In addition, the Company's customers may request extended payment terms, as part of their own response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, a resurgence of the virus with corresponding shelter-in-place orders later in the year could further impact the Company's financial results.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management as of April 4, 2020, and for the three months then ended. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company's goodwill, long-lived asset and indefinite-lived intangible asset valuations; inventory valuations; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; and credit losses related to our financial instruments. Events and circumstances arising after April 4, 2020, including those resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, will be reflected in management's estimates and assumptions in future periods.
For information related to goodwill, see Note 7, "Goodwill," herein and Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. For more information related to income taxes, see Note 13, "Income Taxes," herein and Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(3) Restructuring
Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, asset impairment charges and contract termination costs, as well as other incremental costs resulting from the restructuring actions. Employee termination benefits are recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy. Other incremental costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs. In addition to restructuring costs, the Company 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 condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Generally, charges are recorded as restructuring actions are approved and/or implemented.
In the first three months of 2020, the Company recorded charges of $32.6 million in connection with its restructuring actions. These charges consist of $28.2 million recorded as cost of sales and $4.4 million recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. The restructuring charges consist of employee termination costs of $20.0 million, asset impairment charges of $10.4 million and contract termination costs of $0.2 million, as well as other related costs of $2.0 million. Employee termination benefits were recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy. Asset impairment charges relate to the disposal of buildings, leasehold improvements and/or machinery and equipment with carrying values of $10.4 million in excess of related estimated fair values.
The Company expects to incur approximately $46 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of April 4, 2020, and expects that the components of such costs will be consistent with its historical experience. Any future restructuring actions will depend upon market conditions, customer actions and other factors.
A summary of 2020 activity is shown below (in millions):

| Accrual as of |  | 2020 |  | Utilization |  | Accrual as of
| January 1, 2020 |  | Charges |  | Cash |  | Non-cash |  | April 4, 2020

Reserves | (137.2 | ) |  | (135.5 | )
Inventories | $ | 1,324.3 |  |  | $ | 1,258.2 |

(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 three months of 2020 and 2019, the Company capitalized $50.4 million and $58.8 million, respectively, of pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer. During the first three months of 2020 and 2019, the Company also capitalized $54.1 million and $47.0 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 three months of 2020 and 2019, the Company collected $66.8 million and $95.8 million, respectively, of cash related to E&D and tooling costs.
The classification of recoverable customer E&D and tooling costs related to long-term supply agreements is shown below (in millions):

| April 4, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Current | $ | 185.7 |  |  | $ | 157.2 |
Long-term | 118.9 |  |  | 113.8 |
Recoverable customer E&D and tooling | $ | 304.6 |  |  | $ | 271.0 |

(6) Long-Term Assets
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. 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):

| April 4, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Land | $ | 107.4 |  |  | $ | 113.1 |
Buildings and improvements | 801.3 |  |  | 831.3 |
Machinery and equipment | 3,812.7 |  |  | 3,844.1 |
Construction in progress | 362.2 |  |  | 382.4 |
Total property, plant and equipment | 5,083.6 |  |  | 5,170.9 |
Less – accumulated depreciation | (2,475.2 | ) |  | (2,466.7 | )
Property, plant and equipment, net | $ | 2,608.4 |  |  | $ | 2,704.2 |

Depreciation expense was $113.4 million and $110.9 million in the three months ended April 4, 2020 and March 30, 2019, 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. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company did not recognize any long-lived asset impairment charges, except in conjunction with its restructuring actions as discussed below. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of any significant industry events on the realization of its long-lived assets.
In the first three months of 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized asset impairment charges of $10.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in conjunction with its restructuring actions (Note 3, "Restructuring").

(7) Goodwill
A summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by operating segment, in the three months ended April 4, 2020, is shown below (in millions):

| Seating |  | E-Systems |  | Total
Balance at January 1, 2020 | $ | 1,235.4 |  |  | $ | 378.9 |  |  | $ | 1,614.3 |
Foreign currency translation and other | (20.0 | ) |  | (2.1 | ) |  | (22.1 | )
Balance at April 4, 2020 | $ | 1,215.4 |  |  | $ | 376.8 |  |  | $ | 1,592.2 |

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 annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform 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 required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill recorded. The Company conducts its annual impairment testing as of the first day of its fourth quarte r.
During the first quarter of 2020, an interim goodwill impairment analysis related to one of the Company’s reporting units within its E-Systems operating segment was performed, largely due to industry disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of April 4, 2020, the results of the quantitative analysis indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the related carrying value. The goodwill impairment analysis reflected the Company’s best estimates of the COVID-19 pandemic’s ultimate impact on industry conditions, including consumer demand, as well as economic recovery. The reporting unit is at risk of failing a future quantitative assessment if the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is more severe or if economic recovery is slower or weaker than anticipated. As of April 4, 2020, the goodwill of the reporting unit represents less than 10% of the Company’s total goodwill.
(8) Debt

Contributions
In the three months ended April 4, 2020, employer contributions to the Company’s domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans were $3.7 million.
The Company has elected to defer its contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans to the extent possible under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). The Company expects contributions to its domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans to be $10 million to $20 million in 2020.
(11) Revenue Recognition
The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide production parts generally at the beginning of a vehicle’s life cycle. Typically, these contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of products, but once entered into, the Company is often expected to fulfill its customers’ purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. Many of these contracts may be terminated by the Company’s customers at any time. Historically, terminations of these contracts have been minimal. The Company receives purchase orders from its customers, which provide the commercial terms for a particular production part, including price (but not quantities). Contracts may also provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the vehicle, and prices may be adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors.
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer under standard commercial terms, as the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment prior to such transfer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products based on the annual purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments. The Company's customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry. The Company's contracts with its customers do not have significant financing components.

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
In the first three months of 2020 and 2019, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company recognized tax benefits (expense) related to the significant, discrete items shown below (in millions):

| Three Months Ended
| April 4, 2020 |  | March 30, 2019
Restructuring charges and various other items | $ | 10.0 |  |  | $ | 15.6 |
Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary | 0.8 |  |  | — |
Share-based compensation | (0.2 | ) |  | 3.2 |
Change in tax status of certain affiliates | — |  |  | 18.4 |
| $ | 10.6 |  |  | $ | 37.2 |

Excluding the items above, the effective tax rate for the first three months of 2020 and 2019 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.
For the three months ended April 4, 2020, the Company utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes,” to calculate its interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The Company believes that, as a result of the current uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate as minor changes in annual forecasted pre-tax income or income tax expense or benefit can produce significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate. For the three months ended March 30, 2019, the Company calculated its interim income tax provision based on the estimated annual effective rate.
The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. 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, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company’s decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities.
For further information related to the Company's income taxes, see Note 8, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(14) Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear
Basic net income per share available to Lear common stockholders is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to Lear, after deducting the redemption adjustment related to the redeemable noncontrolling interest, 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 are considered common shares outstanding and are included in the computation of basic net income per share available to Lear common stockholders.
Diluted net income per share available to Lear common stockholders is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to Lear, after deducting the redemption adjustment related to the redeemable noncontrolling interest, by the average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method and the average share price during the period.

Quarterly Dividend
In March 2020, as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily suspended its quarterly cash dividend. In the first three months of 2020 (prior to the suspension) and 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.77 and $0.75 per share of common stock, respectively. Dividends declared and paid are shown below (in millions):

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
In accordance with GAAP, the Company records redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of (1) the initial carrying amount adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holder’s share of total comprehensive income or loss and dividends ("noncontrolling interest carrying value") or (2) the redemption value as of and based on conditions existing as of the reporting date. Required redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments are recorded as an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified in mezzanine equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
For further information related to the redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustment, see Note 14, "Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear," herein, as well as Note 5, "Investments in Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
(16) Legal and Other Contingencies
As of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes and other matters, of $14.1 million and $14.0 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.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
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 attorneys’ fees and costs. 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. 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.
To a lesser extent, the Company is a party to agreements with certain of its customers, whereby 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.
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 when liability is probable and related amounts are reasonably estimable.
A summary of the changes in reserves for product liability and warranty claims for the three months ended April 4, 2020, is shown below (in millions):

Balance at January 1, 2020 | $ | 32.0 |
Expense, net (including changes in estimates) | 5.4 |
Settlements | (2.9 | )
Foreign currency translation and other | (0.7 | )
Balance at April 4, 2020 | $ | 33.8 |

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.
As of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded environmental reserves of $9.2 million and $9.3 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 the 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.

(17) Segment Reporting
The Company has two reportable operating segments: Seating, which includes complete seat systems and all major seat components, including seat covers and surface materials such as leather and fabric, seat structures and mechanisms, seat foam and headrests, and E-Systems, which includes complete electrical distribution systems, as well as sophisticated electronic control modules, electrification products and connectivity products. Key components in the Company's electrical distribution portfolio include wire harnesses, terminals and connectors and junction boxes for both internal combustion engine and electrification architectures that require management of higher voltage and power. Key components in the Company's electronic control module portfolio include body control modules, wireless receiver and transmitter technology and lighting and audio control modules, as well as products specific to electrification and connectivity trends. Electrification products include charging systems (onboard charging modules and cord set charging equipment), battery electronics (battery disconnect units, cell monitoring supervisory systems and integrated total battery control modules) and other power management modules, including converter and inverter systems. Connectivity products include gateway modules and communication modules to manage both wired and wireless networks and data in 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. Corporate and regional headquarters costs include various support functions, such as information technology, advance research and development, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources, as well as advanced engineering expenses.
Each of the Company’s operating segments reports its results from operations and makes its requests for capital expenditures directly to the chief operating decision maker. The economic performance of each operating segment is driven primarily by automotive production volumes in the geographic regions in which it operates, as well as by the success of the vehicle platforms for which it supplies products. Also, each operating segment operates in the competitive Tier 1 automotive supplier environment and is continually working with its customers to manage costs and improve quality. The Company’s production processes generally make use of hourly labor, dedicated facilities, sequential manufacturing and assembly processes and commodity raw materials.
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, being defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization.

Accounts Receivable
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” using a modified retrospective approach. The standard amends several aspects of the measurement of credit losses related to certain financial instruments, including the replacement of the existing incurred credit loss model and other models with the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model. The cumulative effect of adoption resulted in an increase of $0.8 million in the allowance for credit loss and a corresponding decrease in retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.

(Continued)
The Company’s allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, primarily accounts receivable, reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to expected credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. The Company also considers geographic and segment specific risk factors in the development of expected credit losses. As of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $36.7 million and $36.0 million, respectively. Changes in expected credit losses were not significant in the first three months of 2020.
Marketable Equity Securities
Marketable equity securities, which the Company accounts for under the fair value option, are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as shown below (in millions):

| April 4, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Current assets | $ | 7.7 |  |  | $ | 17.1 |
Other long-term assets | 33.2 |  |  | 42.1 |
| $ | 40.9 |  |  | $ | 59.2 |

Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the marketable equity securities are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as a component of other expense, net. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is determined by reference to quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy).
Equity Securities Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
As of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019, investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values of $15.2 million are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such investments are valued at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable, orderly transactions for identical or similar securities.
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 and interest rates and the resulting variability of the Company’s operating results. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. On the date that a derivative contract for a hedging instrument is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of the exposure of a forecasted transaction or of the variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge), (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge) or (4) a contract not designated as a hedging instrument.
For a fair value hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a net investment hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in cumulative translation adjustment, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the related currency translation adjustment is required to be reclassified, usually upon sale or liquidation of the investment, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings. Changes in the fair value of contracts not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as other expense, net. Cash flows attributable to derivatives used to manage foreign currency risks are classified on the same line as the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon settlement, cash flows attributable to derivatives designated as net investment hedges are classified as investing activities

in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows attributable to forward starting interest rate swaps are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedge instruments and the related hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current and long-term assets and other current and long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses whether a derivative used in a hedge transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or the cash flows of the hedged item. When it is determined that a hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting.
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 Thai baht, the Japanese yen, the Chinese renminbi and the Philippine peso.
Foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments consist principally of hedges of cash transactions, intercompany loans and certain other balance sheet exposures.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency interest rate swaps, which are designated as net investment hedges of the foreign currency rate exposure of its investment in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. In the first quarter of 2020, interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) was offset by $1.6 million related to contra interest expense on these net investment hedges.

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 at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are shown below (in millions):

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, the Company adjusts these discount rates, if required, by an estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the Company’s counterparties. If an estimate of the credit spread is required, 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. As of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 in the first quarter of 2020.
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.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company completed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for one of its reporting units. The fair value estimate of the reporting unit was based on a third-party valuation and management's estimates, using a combination of the discounted cash flow method and guideline public company method.
As of April 4, 2020, there were no additional significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
(19) Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").
The Company considered the ASUs summarized below, effective for 2020:
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
See Note 18, "Financial Instruments — Accounts Receivable."
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
Effective January 1, 2020, the standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments and allows a goodwill impairment charge to be based on the amount of a reporting unit's carrying value in excess of its fair value. This eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., "Step 2" under current guidance).
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance related to reference rate reform. The guidance provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications and hedge relationships through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

COVID-19 Pandemic
Industry overview
Unprecedented industry disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of 2020 impacted operations in every region of the world. Global automotive industry production volumes in the first three months of 2020, as compared to the first three months of 2019, are shown below (in millions of units):

| Three Months Ended |  |
| April 4, 2020 (1) |  | March 30, 2019 (1) (2) |  | % Change
North America | 3.8 |  | 4.2 |  | (10 | )%
Europe and Africa | 4.7 |  | 5.8 |  | (19 | )%
Asia | 7.9 |  | 11.3 |  | (30 | )%
South America | 0.6 |  | 0.8 |  | (16 | )%
Other | 0.3 |  | 0.4 |  | (16 | )%
Global light vehicle production | 17.3 |  | 22.5 |  | (23 | )%

(1) Production data based on IHS Automotive
(2) Production data for 2019 has been updated to reflect actual production levels
Our operations in China were impacted first, with most plants in the country closed for several weeks during the quarter. At the end of the quarter, all of our facilities in China were operating and capacity utilization is increasing. Beginning in mid-March, our operations in Europe, North America, South America and Asia (excluding China) were impacted, with virtually all plants closed at the end of the quarter and closures continuing throughout April and, in most cases, into May. While manufacturing has resumed at certain locations in Europe and North America, production levels at these facilities are currently well below capacity. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a material impact on our second quarter 2020 sales, operating results and cash flows.
It is also likely that the global automotive industry will experience lower demand for new vehicle sales for a period of time as a result of the global economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as new vehicle sales are correlated with positive consumer confidence and low unemployment. In addition, our customers may request extended payment terms, as part of their own response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, a resurgence of the virus with corresponding shelter-in-place orders later in the year could further impact our financial results.
Our percentage of consolidated net sales by region in the first three months of 2020 and 2019 is shown below:

| Three Months Ended
| April 4, 2020 |  | March 30, 2019
North America | 42 | % |  | 36 | %
Europe and Africa | 40 | % |  | 42 | %
Asia | 15 | % |  | 19 | %
South America | 3 | % |  | 3 | %
Total | 100 | % |  | 100 | %

We are working closely with our global customers and supply chain as the industry prepares to restart manufacturing facilities. We are completing a comprehensive evaluation of our supply base to identify and address areas that could impact the ability to restart production. Further, we are advising and supporting government agencies and industry trade groups regarding best practices related to resuming production safely and efficiently.
Liquidity actions
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken a number of proactive steps to preserve cash and maximize our financial flexibility, including the elimination of discretionary spending, the implementation of salary reductions and deferrals, the reduction of capital expenditures, the aggressive management of working capital, the temporary suspension of share repurchases and quarterly dividends and borrowed $1.0 billion under our revolving credit facility. With $2.45 billion of cash on hand at the end of the first quarter, $750 million of remaining availability on our revolving credit facility and no near-term debt maturities, we are well positioned to withstand the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have restricted business travel, prevented visitors from entering our facilities, enhanced disinfection and cleaning procedures at our facilities, promoted social distancing and required employees to work from home wherever possible. Further, we are actively planning for the safe return to work of all of our employees. We have created a Safe Work Playbook, which provides practical guidelines for creating a safe work environment and offers insights into navigating operational challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The playbook includes health and safety information related to plant operating protocols; employee education, training and feedback; facility assessments; and phased reopening of engineering and administrative centers.
For risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," included in this Report.
Financing Transactions
Senior Notes
In February 2020, we issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of 2030 notes (the "2030 Notes") and an additional $300 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of 2049 notes (the "2049 Notes"). The 2030 Notes have a stated coupon rate of 3.5% and were issued at 99.774% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 3.525%. The 2049 Notes have a stated coupon rate of 5.25% and were issued at 106.626% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 4.821%.
The net proceeds from the offering were $669 million after original issue discount. The proceeds were used to redeem the $650 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 notes (the "2025 Notes") at a redemption price equal to 102.625% of the principal amount of such 2025 Notes, plus accrued interest.
In connection with these transactions, we recognized a loss of $21 million on the extinguishment of debt and paid related issuance costs of $6 million.
For further information, see "— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization — Senior Notes" below and Note 8 "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Credit Agreement
Our unsecured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated August 8, 2017, consists of a $1.75 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $250 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"). In February 2020, we entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility by one year to August 8, 2024, and paid related issuance costs of $1 million. The maturity date of the Term Loan Facility remains August 8, 2022.
On March 26, 2020, as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we announced the borrowing of $1.0 billion under the Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in remaining availability of $750 million.
For further information, see "— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization — Credit Agreement" below and Note 8, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Operational Restructuring
In the first quarter of 2020, we incurred pretax restructuring costs of $33 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $1 million, as compared to pretax restructuring costs of $54 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $2 million in the first quarter of 2019. None of the individual restructuring actions initiated during the first quarter of 2020 were material. Our restructuring actions include plant closures and workforce reductions and are initiated to maintain our competitive footprint or are in response to customer initiatives or changes in global and regional automotive markets. The decrease in restructuring costs in 2020, as compared to 2019, is primarily attributable to an elevated level of customer actions in 2019. Our restructuring actions are designed to maintain or improve our future operating results and to ensure profitability throughout the cyclical nature of the automotive industry. Restructuring actions are generally funded within twelve months of initiation and are funded by cash flows from operating activities and existing cash balances. There have been no changes in previously initiated restructuring actions that have resulted (or will result) in a material change to our restructuring costs. We expect to incur approximately $46 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of April 4, 2020, all of which are expected to be incurred by the end of 2020. We plan to implement additional restructuring actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to align our manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing regional automotive production levels and locations. Such future restructuring actions are dependent on market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

LEAR CORPORATION
Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends
Since the first quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors has authorized $6.1 billion in share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program. In March 2020, as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily suspended share repurchases under our share repurchase program. In the first quarter of 2020, we repurchased $70 million of shares (prior to the suspension) and have a remaining repurchase authorization of $1.4 billion, which will expire on December 31, 2022.
In March 2020, as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily suspended our quarterly cash dividend. In the first quarter of 2020 (prior to the suspension), our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.77 per share of common stock, reflecting a 3% increase over the quarterly cash dividend declared in 2019.
For further information related to our common stock share repurchase program and our quarterly cash dividends, see "— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization" below and Note 15, "Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Three Months Ended April 4, 2020 vs. Three Months Ended March 30, 2019
Net sales in the first quarter of 2020 were $4.5 billion, as compared to $5.2 billion in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $702 million or 14%. Lower production volumes on Lear platforms globally, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted net sales by $675 million and $108 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of new business, primarily in North America, which increased net sales by $130 million.

(in millions) |  | Cost of Sales
First quarter 2019 |  | $ | 4,687 |
Material cost |  | (482 | )
Labor and other |  | (83 | )
Depreciation |  | 2 |
First quarter 2020 |  | $ | 4,124 |

Cost of sales in the first quarter of 2020 was $4.1 billion, as compared to $4.7 billion in the first quarter of 2019. Lower production volumes on Lear platforms globally, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations reduced cost of sales by $597 million. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of new business, primarily in North America.
Gross profit and gross margin were $334 million and 7.5% of net sales, respectively, in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $473 million and 9.2% of net sales, respectively, in the first quarter of 2019. Lower production volumes on Lear platforms globally, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by the impact of new business, negatively impacted gross profit by $173 million. The impact of selling price reductions was more than offset by favorable operating performance, including the benefit of operational restructuring actions, and the acquisition of Xevo Inc. ("Xevo"). These factors had a corresponding impact on gross margin.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were $144 million in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $148 million in the first quarter of 2019. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 3.2% in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to 2.9% in the first quarter of 2019. In 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses benefited from lower compensation-related costs, largely offset by the operating expenses of our Xevo acquisition.
Amortization of intangible assets was $17 million in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $13 million in the first quarter of 2019, reflecting the acquisition of Xevo.

LEAR CORPORATION
Interest expense was $24 million in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $21 million in the first quarter of 2019, reflecting our 2019 financing transactions related to the acquisition of Xevo.
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, losses on the extinguishment of debt, gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets, gains and losses on the consolidation and deconsolidation of affiliates, the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost and other miscellaneous income and expense, was $41 million in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $4 million in the first quarter of 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, we recognized a loss of $21 million related to the extinguishment of debt. In the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $18 million and $6 million, respectively.
In the first quarter of 2020, the provision for income taxes was $27 million, representing an effective tax rate of 24.4% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $109 million. In the first quarter of 2019, the provision for income taxes was $43 million, representing an effective tax rate of 15.0% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $287 million, for the reasons described below. In the first quarter of 2020, we measured our tax expense based on the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes.” In the first quarter of 2019, we measured our tax expense based on the estimated annual effective rate. For further information, see Note 13 “Income Taxes," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
In the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. In the first quarter of 2020, we recognized net tax benefits of $11 million related to a loss on the extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges and various other items. In the first quarter of 2019, we recognized net tax benefits of $18 million related to changes in the tax status of certain affiliates, $3 million related to share-based compensation and $16 million related to restructuring charges and various other items. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.
Equity in net income of affiliates was $2 million in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019.
Net income attributable to Lear was $76 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $229 million, or $3.73 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019. Net income and diluted net income per share decreased for the reasons described above. In addition, diluted net income per share was impacted by the decrease in average shares outstanding between periods.
Reportable Operating Segments
We have two reportable operating segments: Seating and E-Systems. For a description of our reportable operating segments, see "Executive Overview" above.
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, advance research and development, 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, net ("segment earnings") and segment earnings divided by net sales ("margin") are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("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 income statement 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 17, "Segment Reporting," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Seating net sales were $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $3.9 billion in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $547 million or 14%. Lower production volumes on Lear platforms globally, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted net sales by $518 million and $73 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of new business, which increased net sales by $83 million.
Segment earnings, including restructuring costs, and the related margin on net sales were $186 million and 5.5% in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $252 million and 6.4% in the first quarter of 2019. Lower production volumes on Lear platforms globally, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by the impact of new business, negatively impacted segment earnings by $113 million. Favorable operating performance, including the benefit of operational restructuring actions, was partially offset by the impact of selling price reductions. Segment earnings were also favorably impacted by lower restructuring costs.

Lower production volumes on Lear platforms globally, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted net sales by $157 million and $35 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of new business, which increased net sales by $47 million.
Segment earnings, including restructuring costs, and the related margin on net sales were $32 million and 3.0% in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $128 million and 10.3% in the first quarter of 2019. Lower production volumes on Lear platforms globally, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and net foreign exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by the impact of new business, negatively impacted segment earnings by $59 million. The impact of selling price reductions and, to a lesser extent, higher restructuring costs, were partially offset by improved operating performance.

LEAR CORPORATION
Segment earnings related to our other category were ($45) million in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to ($68) million in the first quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting lower compensation-related costs in 2020.
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.
Adequacy of Liquidity Sources
As of April 4, 2020, we had $2.45 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $750 million in available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility. Together with cash provided by operating activities, we believe that this will enable us to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future and to satisfy ordinary course business obligations.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken a number of proactive steps to preserve cash and maximize our financial flexibility in order to efficiently manage through the COVID-19 pandem ic. In addition to borrowing $1.0 billion under our $1.75 billion Revolving Credit Facility (reflected in cash and cash equivalents above), other actions include:

• | Aggressively reducing operating costs, capital expenditures and working capital, including eliminating discretionary spending and adjusting production activity

• | Reducing salaried employee costs throughout the organization via salary reductions and deferrals

• | Temporarily suspending share repurchases and quarterly dividends

• | Maximizing opportunities offered under government incentive programs throughout the world

• | Reducing the compensation of the Board of Directors

• | Reducing hourly factory worker costs via temporary layoffs

• | Delaying planned pension funding and deferring other retirement plan contributions

Our future financial results and our ability to continue to meet our liquidity needs are subject to, and will be affected by, cash flows from operations, including the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as restructuring activities, automotive industry conditions, the financial condition of our customers and suppliers and other related factors.
For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties affecting our cash flows from operations and our overall liquidity, see "— Executive Overview" above, "— Forward-Looking Statements" below, Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," included in this Report and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Cash Provided by Subsidiaries
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.
As of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents of $856 million and $895 million, respectively, were held in foreign subsidiaries and can be repatriated, primarily through the repayment of intercompany loans and the payment of dividends, without creating additional income tax expense. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Lear.
For further information related to potential dividends from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, see Note 8, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Cash Flows
A summary of net cash provided by operating activities is shown below (in millions):

| Three Months Ended
| April 4, 2020 |  | March 30, 2019 |  | Increase (Decrease) in Operating Cash Flow
Consolidated net income and depreciation and amortization | $ | 214 |  |  | $ | 370 |  |  | $ | (156 | )
Net change in working capital items: |  |  |  |  |
Accounts receivable | 416 |  |  | (593 | ) |  | 1,009 |
Inventory | (114 | ) |  | (8 | ) |  | (106 | )
Accounts payable | (248 | ) |  | 240 |  |  | (488 | )
Accrued liabilities and other | (77 | ) |  | 73 |  |  | (150 | )
Net change in working capital items | (23 | ) |  | (288 | ) |  | 265 |
Other | 31 |  |  | (30 | ) |  | 61 |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 222 |  |  | $ | 52 |  |  | $ | 170 |

In the first three months of 2020 and 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $222 million and $52 million, respectively. The overall increase in operating cash flows of $170 million was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting lower quarter end sales in 2020 and the timing of our 2020 quarter end, as compared to an increase in accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2019, reflecting lower year end sales in 2018. The increase in accounts receivable operating cash flows between periods was partially offset by incremental decreases in accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities and an increase in inventories in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Net cash used in investing activities was $90 million in the first three months of 2020, as compared to $117 million in the first three months of 2019. Capital spending was $109 million in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $123 million in the first quarter of 2019. Capital spending is estimated to be $450 million to $500 million in 2020, which reflects a reduction in discretionary spending in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $851 million in the first three months of 2020, as compared to a use of $235 million in the first three months of 2019. In 2020, we borrowed $1.0 billion under the Revolving Credit Facility as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, we received net proceeds of $669 million related to the issuance of the 2030 and 2049 Notes and paid $6 million of related issuance costs and $667 million related to the redemption of the outstanding 2025 Notes. Also in 2020, we paid $70 million for repurchases of our common stock and $48 million of dividends to Lear stockholders. In 2019, we paid $122 million for repurchases of our common stock, $50 million of dividends to Lear stockholders and $31 million of dividends to noncontrolling interest holders.
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, in addition to cash provided by operating activities. The availability of uncommitted lines of credit may be affected by our financial performance, credit ratings and other factors. As of April 4, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our short-term borrowings outstanding were $10 million and $19 million, respectively.

2029 Notes |  | May 2019 |  | May 15, 2029 |  | May 15 and November 15
2030 Notes |  | February 2020 |  | May 30, 2030 |  | May 30 and November 30
2049 Notes |  | May 2019 and February 2020 |  | May 15, 2049 |  | May 15 and November 15

In February 2020, we issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of 2030 Notes and an additional $300 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of 2049 Notes. The 2030 Notes have a stated coupon rate of 3.5% and were issued at 99.774% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 3.525%. The 2049 Notes have a stated coupon rate of 5.25% and were issued at 106.626% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 4.821%.
The net proceeds from the offering were $669 million after original issue discount. The proceeds were used to redeem the $650 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.625% of the principal amount of such 2025 Notes, plus accrued interest.
In connection with these transactions, we recognized a loss of $21 million on the extinguishment of debt and paid related issuance costs of $6 million.
The indentures governing the Notes contain certain investment-grade style restrictive covenants and customary events of default. As of April 4, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indentures governing the Notes.
For further information related to the Notes, including information on early redemption, covenants and events of default, see Note 8, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 6, "Debt," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Credit Agreement
Our Credit Agreement, dated August 8, 2017, consists of a $1.75 billion Revolving Credit Facility and a $250 million Term Loan Facility. In February 2020, we entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility by one year to August 8, 2024, and paid related issuance costs of $1 million. The maturity date of the Term Loan Facility remains August 8, 2022.
On March 26, 2020, as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we announced the borrowing of $1.0 billion under the Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in remaining availability of $750 million.
As of April 4, 2020, there were $1.0 billion and $231 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $234 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
During the first three months of 2020, we made required principal payments of $3 million under the Term Loan Facility.
The Credit Agreement contains various financial and other covenants that require us to maintain a minimum leverage coverage ratio. As of April 4, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. Although we expect to maintain compliance with all covenants, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our ability to comply with certain of these covenants. In the event that we are unable to maintain compliance with such covenants, we expect to

obtain an amendment or waiver from our lenders, refinance the indebtedness subject to the covenants or take other mitigating actions prior to a potential breach.
For further information related to the Credit Agreement, including information on pricing, covenants and events of default, see Note 8, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 6, "Debt," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Common Stock Share Repurchase Program
In March 2020, as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily suspended share repurchases under our share repurchase program. Share repurchases in the first quarter of 2020 (prior to the suspension) are shown below (in millions except for shares and per share amounts):

Three Months Ended |  | As of
April 4, 2020 |  | April 4, 2020
Aggregate Repurchases |  | Cash paid for Repurchases |  | Number of Shares |  | Average Price per Share (1) |  | Remaining Purchase Authorization
$ | 70 |  |  | $ | 70 |  |  | 641,149 |  | $ | 109.22 |  |  | $ | 1,430 |

(1) Excludes commissions
Since the first quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors has authorized $6.1 billion in share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program. As of the end of the first quarter of 2020, we have repurchased, in aggregate, $4.7 billion of our outstanding common stock, at an average price of $90.07 per share, excluding commissions and related fees.
We may implement share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. 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 (see "— Forward-Looking Statements").
For further information related to our common stock share repurchase program, see Note 15, "Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Dividends
In March 2020, as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily suspended our quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly cash dividend declared in the first quarter of 2020 (prior to the suspension) reflects a 3% increase over the quarterly cash dividend declared in first quarter of 2019. A summary of the 2020 dividend is shown below:

Payment Date |  | Dividend Per Share |  | Declaration Date |  | Record Date
March 18, 2020 |  | $ | 0.77 |  |  | February 6, 2020 |  | February 28, 2020

Although we do expect to pay quarterly cash dividends at some point in the future, 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 in its discretion.
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 our policies. We enter into all hedging transactions for periods consistent with the underlying exposures. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes.
44

LEAR CORPORATION
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, 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.
A summary of the notional amount and estimated aggregate fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange contracts is shown below (in millions):

| April 4, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Notional amount (contract maturities < 24 months) | $ | 2,362 |  |  | $ | 2,163 |
Fair value | (139 | ) |  | 50 |

Currently, our most significant foreign currency transactional exposures relate to the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the Thai baht, the Chinese renminbi, the Japanese yen, the Brazilian real and the Honduran lempira. A sensitivity analysis of our net transactional exposure is shown below (in millions):

|  |  | Potential Earnings Benefit (Adverse Earnings Impact)
| Hypothetical Strengthening % (1) |  | April 4, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
U.S. dollar | 10% |  | $ | 4 |  |  | $ | (16 | )
Euro | 10% |  | (4 | ) |  | 19 |

(1) Relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period
A sensitivity analysis related to the aggregate fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange contracts is shown below (in millions):

|  |  | Estimated Change in Fair Value
| Hypothetical Change % (2) |  | April 4, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
U.S. dollar | 10% |  | $ | 33 |  |  | $ | 50 |
Euro | 10% |  | 61 |  |  | 69 |

(2) Relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period
There are certain shortcomings inherent in the sensitivity analyses above. The analyses assume 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 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 2019, 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
Our variable rate debt obligations under our Credit Agreement are sensitive to changes in interest rates. As of April 4, 2020, we had $1.0 billion outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $231 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility generally bear interest based on (i) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin.
A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations would increase annual interest expense and related cash interest payments by approximately $7 million.

Commodity Prices
Raw material, energy and commodity costs can be volatile, reflecting changes in supply and demand and global trade and tariff policies. 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 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. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining commodity cost environment. If these costs increase, it 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, 2019.
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, copper and leather. The majority of the steel used in our products is comprised of fabricated components that are integrated into a seat system, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks and other mechanical components. Therefore, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through these purchased components. Approximately 90% of our copper purchases and a significant portion of our leather purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers.
For further information related to the financial instruments described above, see Note 18, "Financial Instruments," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
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 April 4, 2020, we had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes and other matters, of $14 million. In addition, as of April 4, 2020, we had recorded reserves for product liability claims and environmental matters of $34 million and $9 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, 2019. For a more complete description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 16, "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 2, "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, 2019. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the first quarter of 2020, with the exception of credit losses. See Note 18, "Financial Instruments — Accounts Receivable," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For information on the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 19, "Accounting Pronouncements," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

• | other risks described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in this Report, and our other Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings.

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 Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 4, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
In April 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Xevo Inc. (“Xevo”) and is currently integrating Xevo into its operations, compliance programs and internal control processes. Xevo constituted 2.7% of the Company's total assets as of April 4, 2020, including goodwill and intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase price allocation, and 0.5% of the Company's net sales in the three months ended April 4, 2020. SEC guidance allows companies to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of the internal control over financial reporting during the first year following an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. The Company has excluded the acquired operations of Xevo from its assessment of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, product liability claims and environmental and other matters. 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, 2019. For a description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 16, "Legal and Other Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the addition of the risk factor set forth below:

• | Pandemics or disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19, have disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, our business, which could adversely affect our financial performance.

Pandemics or disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19, have disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, automotive industry customer sales and production volumes. Vehicle production has already decreased significantly in China, which was first affected by COVID-19, and resulted in the shutdown of manufacturing operations in China beginning in January 2020. Subsequent shutdowns have been announced in the United States and Europe as COVID-19 continues to spread globally. As a result, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, reductions in orders from our customers globally. This reduction in orders may be further exacerbated by the global economic downturn resulting from the pandemic which could decrease consumer demand for vehicles or result in the financial distress of one or more of our customers or suppliers. In addition, if COVID-19
48

Table of Contents
LEAR CORPORATION
were to affect a significant amount of the workforce employed or operating at our facilities, we could experience delays or the inability to produce and deliver products to our customers on a timely basis. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our financial performance will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the effectiveness of actions to contain the virus or treat its impact and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts on our business and financial performance as a result of its global economic impact, including a recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
ITEM 2 — UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
As discussed in Part I — Item 2, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization — Common Stock Share Repurchase Program," and Note 15, "Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we have a remaining repurchase authorization of $1,430.0 million under our common stock share repurchase program.
A summary of the shares of our common stock repurchased during the quarter ended April 4, 2020, is shown below:

Period |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased |  | Average Price Paid per Share |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs |  | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Program (in millions) |
January 1, 2020 through February 1, 2020 |  | — |  |  | $— |  | — |  |  | $ | 1,202.6 |  |
February 2, 2020 through February 29, 2020 |  | 276,181 |  |  | $117.37 |  | 276,181 |  |  | 1,467.6 |  | (1)
March 1, 2020 through April 4, 2020 |  | 364,968 |  |  | $103.05 |  | 364,968 |  |  | 1,430.0 |  | (2)
Total |  | 641,149 |  |  | $109.22 |  | 641,149 |  |  | $ | 1,430.0 |  |

(1) In February 2020, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our existing common stock share repurchase program authorization to $1.5 billion.
(2) In March 2020, we temporarily suspended share repurchases under our share repurchase program.
