Basis of Presentation | 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.
