MERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Meritor, Inc., formerly named ArvinMeritor, Inc., (the "company" or "Meritor"), headquartered in Troy, Michigan, is a premier global supplier of a broad range of integrated systems, modules and components to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and the aftermarket for the commercial vehicle, transportation and industrial sectors. The company serves commercial truck, trailer, off-highway, military, bus and coach and other industrial OEMs and certain aftermarkets. The consolidated financial statements are those of the company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Certain businesses are reported in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of income, statement of cash flows and related notes for all periods presented. Additional information regarding discontinued operations is discussed in Note 4.
In the opinion of the company, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest September 30. The third quarter of fiscal years 2011 and 2010 ended on July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively. All year and quarter references relate to the company’s fiscal year and fiscal quarters, unless otherwise stated. For ease of presentation, September 30 and June 30 are used consistently throughout this report to represent the fiscal year end and third quarter end, respectively.
The company has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued.
2. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share calculation includes the impact of dilutive common stock options, restricted stock, performance share awards and convertible securities, if applicable.
A reconciliation of basic average common shares outstanding to diluted average common shares outstanding is as follows (in millions):

At June 30, 2011, options to purchase 0.6 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price exceeded the average market price for the three and nine month periods and thus their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The potential effects of stock options and restricted shares and share units were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 because their inclusion in a net loss period would reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, at June 30, 2010, options to purchase 1.4 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. In addition, 3.1 million and 2.8 million shares of restricted stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The company’s convertible senior unsecured notes are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the stock price at the end of the quarter is less than the conversion price.

3. New Accounting Standards
New accounting standards to be implemented
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The company does not believe the adoption of the new guidance will have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This ASU is intended to result in convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS requirements for measurement of and disclosures about fair value. The guidance amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards implemented in fiscal year 2011
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for transfer of financial assets, which changes the requirements for recognizing the transfer of financial assets and requires additional disclosures about a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The guidance also eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity when assessing transfers of financial instruments. As required, the company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. This guidance replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity, and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, the new guidance requires any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity to provide enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. As required, the company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosures as noted below.
The company holds a variable interest in a joint venture accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The joint venture manufactures components for commercial vehicle applications primarily on behalf of the company. The variable interest relates to a supply arrangement between the company and the joint venture whereby the company supplies certain components to the joint venture at a cost-plus basis. The company is not the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, as the joint venture partner has shared or absolute control over key manufacturing operations, labor relationships, financing activities and certain other functions of the joint venture. Therefore, the company does not consolidate the joint venture. At June 30, 2011, the company’s investment in the joint venture was $33 million, classified as Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 14), representing the company’s maximum exposure to loss.

In conjunction with the company’s long-term strategic objective to focus on supplying the commercial vehicle on- and off-highway markets for original equipment manufacturers, aftermarket and industrial customers, the company previously announced its intent to divest its Light Vehicle Systems (LVS) businesses. After completion of the sale of the Body Systems and Gabriel Europe businesses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, as discussed in more detail below, the company has substantially completed its transformation. The remaining non-core business consists of a small damper business located in Leicester, England, for which the company continues to pursue alternatives. Results of the company’s LVS businesses are reflected in discontinued operations through the date of disposition.
Body Systems
On January 3, 2011, the company completed the sale of its Body Systems business to Inteva Products Holding Coöperatieve U.A., an assignee of 81 Acquisition LLC and an affiliate of Inteva Products, LLC. Pursuant to the sale agreement signed in August 2010, total consideration was approximately $35 million, subject to certain potential adjustments for items such as working capital fluctuations. The actual purchase price at the closing was $27 million (excluding estimated closing expenses for outside advisory fees of $12 million), consisting of $12 million in cash at closing (adjusted for estimated balances in working capital and other items at the time of the closing) and a five year, 8 percent promissory note for $15 million, payable in five annual installments. The current portion of the promissory note is included in receivables, trade and other, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The long-term portion of the note is included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In addition to the purchase price, the company expects to receive the cash held at the time of the sale by the Body Systems entities operating in China and Brazil of approximately $33 million, before applicable taxes and other withholding, at such time as it becomes available for distribution, as provided in the sale agreement. At June 30, 2011, the company has recognized a receivable of approximately $27 million, net of applicable taxes and other withholding, for cash balances available for distribution based on the current distribution capacity. The company expects to recognize a receivable for the remaining amount of approximately $3 million, before applicable taxes and other withholding, at such time when the balance becomes available for distribution by the respective entities. The receivable recognized at June 30, 2011 is included in receivables, trade and other, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Cash outflows as a result of the sale of Body Systems are included in net investing cash flows used for discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
In connection with the sale of Body Systems business, the company recognized a pre-tax gain of $32 million ($32 million after tax) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. Upon sale of the Body Systems business, net accumulated foreign currency translation gains of $62 million were recognized into income and included in the gain on sale of this business. These net accumulated foreign currency translation gains were previously deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit).
The sale agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the seller and the purchaser as further set forth in the agreement. The agreement also includes provisions governing post-closing indemnities between the seller and the purchaser for losses arising from specified events. At June 30, 2011, the company recognized estimates for such indemnities, primarily related to income tax matters, of $5 million. This amount is included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Charges to discontinued operations are included in income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of income. |
Performance Plus: During fiscal year 2007, the company launched a long-term profit improvement and cost reduction initiative called “Performance Plus.” As part of this program, the company identified significant restructuring actions which would eliminate up to 2,800 positions in North America and Europe and consolidate and combine certain global facilities. The company’s continuing operations recognized restructuring costs in its Commercial Truck business segment of $13 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 ($5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011) related to Performance Plus. These costs relate to the rationalization of our manufacturing footprint in Europe which involves eliminating one manufacturing facility and primarily consist of employee headcount reductions. Cumulative restructuring costs recorded for this program as of June 30, 2011 are $159 million, including $93 million reported in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of income. These costs primarily relate to employee severance and related costs of $115 million, asset impairment charges of $19 million and $25 million primarily associated with pension termination benefits. The company’s Commercial Truck segment has recognized cumulative restructuring costs associated with Performance Plus of $55 million. Cumulative restructuring costs of $11 million were recognized by corporate locations and the company’s Aftermarket & Trailer segment. The majority of the restructuring actions associated with Performance Plus were complete as of June 30, 2011, with remaining cash costs of approximately $4 million expected to be incurred in the remainder of fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2012, primarily in the company’s Commercial Truck segment.
European Trailer: In the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, the company announced the planned closure of its European trailer business and recognized approximately $6 million of restructuring costs in the Aftermarket & Trailer segment primarily associated with employee severance costs. Total restructuring costs associated with this planned shutdown are currently estimated to be in the range of $12 million to $18 million.

(Unaudited)
Other: In the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the company recorded approximately $2 million of restructuring costs at its corporate locations associated with certain executive headcount reductions.
7. Other Income, Net
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the company recognized a $5 million non-operating gain on the collection of a note receivable related to a previously divested business. The gain represents a change in fair value of the note from the time of receipt of the note to the date of final payment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. The gain has been classified in income from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of income.
8. Income Taxes
For each interim reporting period, the company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year pursuant to FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740-270, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.” The rate so determined is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or an actual year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.
Income tax expense (benefit) is allocated between continuing operations, discontinued operations and other comprehensive income (OCI). Such allocation is applied by tax jurisdiction, and in periods in which there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in another category, such as discontinued operations or OCI, income tax expense is first allocated to the other sources of income, with a related benefit recorded in continuing operations.
For the nine months of fiscal year 2011, the company had approximately $128 million of net pre-tax losses in tax jurisdictions in which a tax benefit is not recorded. Tax benefits arising from these jurisdictions resulted in increasing the valuation allowance, rather than reducing income tax expense.
9. Accounts Receivable Securitization and Factoring
Off-balance sheet arrangements
Swedish Factoring Facility: In 2006, the company entered into a European arrangement to sell trade receivables due from AB Volvo through one of its European subsidiaries. In June 2011, the company renewed this agreement through June 2012. Under this arrangement, the company can sell up to, at any point in time, €150 million of eligible trade receivables. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and are excluded from the consolidated balance sheet. The gross amount of proceeds received from the sale of receivables under this arrangement was $413 million and $249 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The company had utilized €99 million ($143 million) and €62 million ($84 million) of this accounts receivable factoring facility as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The company had notes receivable from the purchaser of the receivables of $6 million and $3 million under this program at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The notes receivable from the purchaser were generated prior to the June 2011 renewal. Under the renewed agreement, the company will not have any notes receivable from purchaser as the full amount of purchased receivables will be paid at the time of transfer of receivables to the purchaser.
French Factoring Facility: In November 2007, the company entered into an arrangement to sell trade receivables through one of its French subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, the company can sell up to, at any point in time, €125 million of eligible trade receivables. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and are excluded from the consolidated balance sheet. The company had utilized €44 million ($64 million) and €36 million ($49 million) of this accounts receivable factoring facility as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
Both of the above facilities are backed by 364-day liquidity commitments from Nordea Bank which were renewed through June 2012 for both the French and Swedish facilities. The commitments are subject to standard terms and conditions for these types of arrangements (including, in the case of the French commitment, a sole discretion clause whereby the bank retains the right to not purchase receivables, which to the company’s knowledge has never been invoked).
U.S. Factoring Facility: In October 2010, the company entered into a two-year arrangement to sell trade receivables from AB Volvo and its subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, the company can sell up to, at any point in time, €50 million ($73 million) of eligible trade receivables. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and are excluded from the consolidated balance sheet. The company had utilized $53 million of this accounts receivable factoring facility as of June 30, 2011.

In addition, several of the company’s subsidiaries, primarily in Europe, factor eligible accounts receivable with financial institutions. Certain receivables are factored without recourse to the company and are excluded from accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. The amount of factored receivables excluded from accounts receivable was $11 million and $5 million at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
Total costs associated with these off-balance sheet arrangements were $6 million and $3 million in the nine month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.
On-balance sheet arrangements
In September 2009 the company entered into a new, two year $125 million U.S. receivables financing arrangement which is provided on a committed basis by a syndicate of financial institutions led by Ally Commercial Finance LLC (formerly GMAC Commercial Finance LLC). In October 2010, the company extended the expiration of the program to October 2013. Under this program, the company has the ability to sell substantially all of the trade receivables (excluding the receivables due from AB Volvo and subsidiaries eligible for sale under the U.S. Factoring Facility discussed above) of certain U.S. subsidiaries to ArvinMeritor Receivables Corporation (ARC), a wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary. ARC funds these purchases with borrowings under a loan agreement with participating lenders. Amounts outstanding under this agreement are collateralized by eligible receivables purchased by ARC and are reported as short-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, no amount was outstanding under this program. This program does not have specific financial covenants; however, it does have a cross-default provision to the company’s revolving credit facility agreement.

Debt Securities
On March 3, 2010, the company completed a public offering of debt securities consisting of the issuance of $250 million 8-year fixed rate 10-5/8 percent notes due March 15, 2018. The offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2009, which became effective December 23, 2009 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), registering $750 million aggregate debt and/or equity securities that may be offered in one or more series on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The notes were issued at a discounted price of 98.024 percent of their principal amount. The proceeds from the sale of the notes, net of discount, were $245 million and were primarily used to repurchase $175 million of the company’s previously outstanding $276 million 8-3/4 percent notes due 2012.
On March 23, 2010, the company completed the debt tender offer for its 8-3/4 percent notes due March 1, 2012. The notes were repurchased at 109.75 percent of their principal amount. The repurchase of $175 million of 8-3/4 percent notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and, accordingly, the company recognized a net loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $13 million, which is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of income. The loss on debt extinguishment primarily relates to the $17 million paid in excess of par to repurchase the $175 million of 8-3/4 percent notes, partially offset by a $6 million gain associated with the acceleration of previously deferred unamortized interest rate swap gains associated with the 8-3/4 percent notes.
On June 15, 2010, the company purchased in the open market $17 million of its 8-3/4 percent notes due March 1, 2012. The notes were repurchased at 104.875 percent of their principal amount. On June 17, 2010, the company purchased in the open market $1 million of its 8-1/8 percent notes due September 15, 2015. The notes were repurchased at 94.000 percent of their principal amount.
Revolving Credit Facility
On February 5, 2010 the company signed an agreement to amend and extend the revolving credit facility, which became effective on February 26, 2010. As of March 31, 2011 the company had a $567 million revolving credit facility which excluded approximately $29 million of commitments that are unavailable due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and included a $30 million increase from new lenders as the company exercised the accordion feature of the agreement. On April 13, 2011 the company exercised an additional $15 million of the accordion feature. On June 23, 2011, $141 million of the revolving credit facility matured for banks that elected not to extend their original commitments (non-extending banks). The remaining revolving credit facility balance of $441 million matures in January 2014. Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a collateral test, pursuant to which borrowings on the revolving credit facility cannot exceed 1.0x the collateral test value. The collateral test is performed on a quarterly basis and under the most recent collateral test, the full amount of the revolving credit facility was available for borrowing at June 30, 2011. Availability under the revolving credit facility is also subject to certain financial covenants based on (i) the ratio of the company’s priority debt (consisting principally of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, U.S. accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs, and third-party non-working capital foreign debt) to EBITDA and (ii) the amount of annual capital expenditures. The company is required to maintain a total priority debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the agreement, of (i) 2.50 to 1 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 through and including the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011; (ii) 2.25 to 1 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 through and including the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 and (iii) 2.00 to 1 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter through maturity. At June 30, 2011, the company was in compliance with all covenants under its credit agreement with a ratio of approximately 0.18x for the priority debt-to-EBITDA covenant.
The revolving credit facility includes a $100 million limit on the issuance of letters of credit. At September 30, 2010, approximately $26 million of letters of credit were issued. No letters of credit were outstanding at June 30, 2011 under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the company has another letter of credit facility with an availability limit of $30 million and had approximately $29 million outstanding at June 30, 2011. The company also had additional $3 million and $2 million outstanding at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, of letters on credit available through other facilities.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are collateralized by approximately $674 million of the company’s assets, primarily consisting of eligible domestic U.S. accounts receivable, inventory, plant, property and equipment, intellectual property and the company’s investment in all or a portion of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
17
MERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to interest based on quoted LIBOR rates plus a margin, and a commitment fee on undrawn amounts, both of which are based upon the company’s current credit rating for the senior secured facility. At June 30, 2011, the margin over LIBOR rate was 425 basis points for the $441 million available under the revolving credit facility, and the commitment fee was 50 basis points.
Certain of the company’s subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Similar subsidiary guarantees are provided for the benefit of the holders of the publicly-held notes outstanding under the company’s indentures (see Note 23).
Interest Rate Swap Agreement
In March 2010, the company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted $125 million of the company’s 8-1/8 percent notes due 2015 to variable interest rates. The terms of the interest rate swap agreement required the company to place cash on deposit as collateral if the fair value of the interest rate swap represented a liability for the company at any time. The swap was designated as a fair value hedge and the impact of the changes in its fair values was offset by an equal and opposite change in the carrying value of the related notes. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the company received a fixed rate of interest of 8-1/8 percent on notional amounts of $125 million and paid a variable rate based on U.S. dollar six-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.61 percent. The payments under the swap agreement coincided with the interest payment dates on the hedged debt instrument, and the difference between the amounts paid and received was included in interest expense, net.
The company classifies the cash flows associated with its interest rate swaps in cash flows from operating activities in its consolidated statement of cash flows. This is consistent with the classification of the cash flows associated with the underlying hedged item.
In July 2010, the company terminated the interest rate swap agreement and received proceeds from the termination of approximately $7 million. The unamortized fair value adjustment of the notes associated with this swap is classified as long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized to earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.
18. Financial Instruments
The company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt, long-term debt and foreign exchange forward contracts. The company uses derivatives for hedging and non-trading purposes in order to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange rate exposures.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
As a result of the company’s substantial international operations, it is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations, including in connection with transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the company translates sales and financial results denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for purposes of its consolidated financial statements. As a result, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies generally will have a negative impact on reported revenues and operating income while depreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies will generally have a positive effect on reported revenues and operating income.
The company has a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to reduce the company’s exposure to changes in exchange rates on foreign currency purchases and sales. The company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage the company’s exposures arising from foreign currency exchange risk. Gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposures are partially offset with gains and losses on the foreign currency forward contracts. Under this foreign currency cash flow hedging program, the company has designated the foreign exchange contracts (the “contracts”) as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted foreign currency purchases and sales. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCL) in the consolidated balance sheet and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. The terms of the foreign exchange contracts generally require the company to place cash on deposit as collateral if the fair value of these contracts represents a liability above certain minimum thresholds for the company at any time. The fair values of the foreign exchange derivative instruments and any related collateral cash deposits are presented on a net basis as the derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements. The company’s foreign exchange contracts generally mature within twelve months.
At June 30, 2011, the company had outstanding contracts with notional amounts of $105 million under its foreign currency cash flow hedging program. These notional values consisted primarily of contracts for the European euro, Swedish krona and Canadian dollar, and are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates at the respective dates. The fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts is based on a model which incorporates observable inputs including quoted spot rates, forward exchange rates and discounted future expected cash flows utilizing market interest rates with similar quality and maturity characteristics. At June 30, 2011, fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts and related unrealized income recorded in AOCL were not significant. At September 30, 2010, the company had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding under its foreign currency cash flow hedging program.

The company classifies the cash flows associated with the contracts in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. This is consistent with the classification of the cash flows associated with the underlying hedged item.
The company generally has not hedged against its foreign currency exposure related to translations to U.S. dollars of financial results denominated in foreign currencies. However, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the company entered into foreign currency option contracts to reduce the risk of volatility in the translation of Brazilian real earnings to U.S. dollars. Gains and losses on these option contracts are recorded in other income, net, in the consolidated statement of income, generally reducing the exposure to translation volatility during a full-year period. The impact of these option contracts was not significant to the results of operations or financial position at June 30, 2011.

Certain active employees and retirees of a German subsidiary of the company were covered by a defined benefit pension plan. In connection with the sale of the company’s Body Systems business (see Note 4), the projected benefit obligation (PBO) of approximately $21 million related to the active employees of the divested business was transferred to the buyer. The PBO related to these employees was classified in the liabilities of discontinued operations at September 30, 2010. The transfer of this obligation required a remeasurement of the plan as of January 3, 2011. As a result of the remeasurement and transfer, the company’s total PBO decreased by $30 million and AOCL decreased by $9 million. The decrease in AOCL is reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit).

In fiscal year 2011, the company expects to make total pension contributions of $36 million (as compared to $54 million previously disclosed). As permitted under the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010, the company elected an alternative amortization schedule for funding asset shortfalls that arose as a result of the global recession. As a result, the company has elected to defer approximately $18 million of U.S. qualified pension plan employer contributions. The company expects to contribute these deferred contributions to the pension trust over the next several years in accordance with applicable pension funding regulations.
20. Contingencies
Environmental
Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities affecting the environment have, and will continue to have, an impact on the operations of the company. The process of estimating environmental liabilities is complex and dependent upon evolving physical and scientific data at the sites, uncertainties as to remedies and technologies to be used and the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies. The company records liabilities for environmental issues in the accounting period in which they are considered to be probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identified, the company records a liability for its allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site, as well as an allocable share of costs related to insolvent parties or unidentified shares. At environmental sites in which Meritor is the only potentially responsible party, the company records a liability for the total probable and estimable costs of remediation before consideration of recovery from insurers or other third parties.
The company has been designated as a potentially responsible party at eight Superfund sites, excluding sites as to which the company’s records disclose no involvement or as to which the company’s liability has been finally determined. Management estimates the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur for the remediation of Superfund sites at June 30, 2011 to be approximately $20 million, of which $3 million is recorded as a liability.

MERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
In addition to the Superfund sites, various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been asserted against the company, alleging violations of federal, state and local environmental protection requirements, or seeking remediation of alleged environmental impairments, principally at previously disposed-of properties. For these matters, management has estimated the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur at June 30, 2011 to be approximately $39 million, of which $14 million is recorded as a liability.
Included in the company’s environmental liabilities are costs for on-going operation, maintenance and monitoring at environmental sites in which remediation has been put into place. This liability is discounted using a discount rate of five-percent and is approximately $7 million at June 30, 2011. The undiscounted estimate of these costs is approximately $11 million.

The actual amount of costs or damages for which the company may be held responsible could materially exceed the foregoing estimates because of uncertainties, including the financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, the success of the remediation, discovery of new contamination and other factors that make it difficult to predict actual costs accurately. However, based on management’s assessment, after consulting with outside advisors that specialize in environmental matters, and subject to the difficulties inherent in estimating these future costs, the company believes that its expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection and other expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, in future periods, new laws and regulations, changes in remediation plans, advances in technology and additional information about the ultimate clean-up remedies could significantly change the company’s estimates. Management cannot assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The company has identified conditional asset retirement obligations for which a reasonable estimate of fair value could not be made because the potential settlement dates cannot be determined at this time. Due to the long term, productive nature of the company’s manufacturing operations, absent plans or expectations of plans to initiate asset retirement activities, the company was not able to reasonably estimate the settlement date for the related obligations. Therefore, the company has not recognized conditional asset retirement obligations for which there are no plans or expectations of plans to retire the asset.
Asbestos
Maremont Corporation (“Maremont”), a subsidiary of Meritor, manufactured friction products containing asbestos from 1953 through 1977, when it sold its friction product business. Arvin Industries, Inc., a predecessor of the company, acquired Maremont in 1986. Maremont and many other companies are defendants in suits brought by individuals claiming personal injuries as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products. Maremont had approximately 26,000 pending asbestos-related claims at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. Although Maremont has been named in these cases, in the cases where actual injury has been alleged, very few claimants have established that a Maremont product caused their injuries. Plaintiffs’ lawyers often sue dozens or even hundreds of defendants in individual lawsuits on behalf of hundreds or thousands of claimants, seeking damages against all named defendants irrespective of the disease or injury and irrespective of any causal connection with a particular product. For these reasons, Maremont does not consider the number of claims filed or the damages alleged to be a meaningful factor in determining its asbestos-related liability.

Prior to February 2001, Maremont participated in the Center for Claims Resolution (“CCR”) and shared with other CCR members in the payment of defense and indemnity costs for asbestos-related claims. The CCR handled the resolution and processing of asbestos claims on behalf of its members until February 2001, when it was reorganized and discontinued negotiating shared settlements. Since the CCR was reorganized in 2001, Maremont has handled asbestos-related claims through its own defense counsel and has taken a more aggressive defensive approach that involves examining the merits of each asbestos-related claim. Although the company expects legal defense costs to continue at higher levels than when it participated in the CCR, the company believes its litigation strategy has reduced the average indemnity cost per claim.
Pending and Future Claims: Maremont engages Bates White LLC (Bates White), a consulting firm with extensive experience estimating costs associated with asbestos litigation, to assist with determining the estimated cost of resolving pending and future asbestos-related claims that have been, and could reasonably be expected to be, filed against Maremont. Bates White prepares these cost estimates on a semi-annual basis in March and September each year. Although it is not possible to estimate the full range of costs because of various uncertainties, Bates White advised Maremont that it would be possible to determine an estimate of a reasonable forecast of the cost of the probable settlement and defense costs of resolving pending and future asbestos-related claims, based on historical data and certain assumptions with respect to events that may occur in the future.
Bates White provided an estimate of the reasonably possible range of Maremont’s obligation for asbestos personal injury claims over the next ten years of $64 million to $76 million. After consultation with Bates White, Maremont determined that as of March 31, 2011 the most likely and probable liability for pending and future claims over the next ten years is $64 million. The ultimate cost of resolving pending and future claims is estimated based on the history of claims and expenses for plaintiffs represented by law firms in jurisdictions with an established history with Maremont.
Assumptions: The following assumptions were made by Maremont after consultation with Bates White and are included in their study:
- Pending and future claims were estimated for a ten year period ending in fiscal year 2021. The ten-year assumption is considered appropriate as Maremont has reached certain longer-term agreements with key plaintiff law firms and filings of mesothelioma claims have been relatively stable over the last few years resulting in an improvement in the reliability of future projections over a longer time period;
- Maremont believes that the litigation environment will change significantly beyond ten years and that the reliability of estimates of future probable expenditures in connection with asbestos-related personal injury claims will decline for each year further in the future. As a result, estimating a probable liability beyond ten years is difficult and uncertain;
- The ultimate cost of resolving pending and future claims filed in Madison County, Illinois, a jurisdiction where a substantial amount of Maremont’s claims are filed, will decline to reflect average outcomes throughout the United States;
- Defense and processing costs for pending and future claims filed outside of Madison County, Illinois will be at the level consistent with Maremont’s prior experience; and
- The ultimate indemnity cost of resolving nonmalignant claims with plaintiffs’ law firms in jurisdictions without an established history with Maremont cannot be reasonably estimated. Recent changes in tort law and insufficient settlement history make estimating a liability for these nonmalignant claims difficult and uncertain.
Recoveries: Maremont has insurance that reimburses a substantial portion of the costs incurred defending against asbestos-related claims. The coverage also reimburses Maremont for any indemnity paid on those claims. The coverage is provided by several insurance carriers based on insurance agreements in place. Incorporating historical information with respect to buy-outs and settlements of coverage, and excluding any policies in dispute, the insurance receivable related to asbestos-related liabilities is $57 million as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. The difference between the estimated liability and insurance receivable is primarily related to proceeds received from settled insurance policies. Certain insurance policies have been settled in cash prior to the ultimate settlement of the related asbestos liabilities. Amounts received from insurance settlements generally reduce recorded insurance receivables. Receivables for policies in dispute are not recorded.
22
MERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The amounts recorded for the asbestos-related reserves and recoveries from insurance companies are based upon assumptions and estimates derived from currently known facts. All such estimates of liabilities and recoveries for asbestos-related claims are subject to considerable uncertainty because such liabilities and recoveries are influenced by variables that are difficult to predict. The future litigation environment for Maremont could change significantly from its past experience, due, for example, to changes in the mix of claims filed against Maremont in terms of plaintiffs’ law firm, jurisdiction and disease; legislative or regulatory developments; Maremont’s approach to defending claims; or payments to plaintiffs from other defendants. Estimated recoveries are influenced by coverage issues among insurers and the continuing solvency of various insurance companies. If the assumptions with respect to the nature of pending and future claims, the cost to resolve claims and the amount of available insurance prove to be incorrect, the actual amount of liability for Maremont’s asbestos-related claims, and the effect on the company, could differ materially from current estimates and, therefore, could have a material impact on the company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Rockwell International (Rockwell) — Meritor, along with many other companies, has also been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos used in certain components of Rockwell products many years ago. Liability for these claims was transferred to the company at the time of the spin-off of the automotive business to Meritor from Rockwell in 1997. Currently there are thousands of claimants in lawsuits that name the company, together with many other companies, as defendants. However, the company does not consider the number of claims filed or the damages alleged to be a meaningful factor in determining asbestos-related liabilities. A significant portion of the claims do not identify any of Rockwell’s products or specify which of the claimants, if any, were exposed to asbestos attributable to Rockwell’s products, and past experience has shown that the vast majority of the claimants will likely never identify any of Rockwell’s products. For those claimants who do show that they worked with Rockwell’s products, management, nevertheless, believes it has meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to the integrity of the products involved and the lack of any impairing medical condition on the part of many claimants. The company defends these cases vigorously. Historically, Meritor has been dismissed from the vast majority of similar claims filed in the past with no payment to claimants.
The company engages Bates White to assist with determining whether it would be possible to estimate the cost of resolving pending and future Rockwell legacy asbestos-related claims that have been, and could reasonably be expected to be, filed against the company. Although it is not possible to estimate the full range of costs because of various uncertainties, Bates White advised the company that it would be able to determine an estimate of probable defense and indemnity costs which could be incurred to resolve pending and future Rockwell legacy asbestos-related claims. After consultation with Bates White, the company determined that as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 the probable liability for pending and future claims over the next four years is $18 million and $17 million, respectively. The accrual estimates are based on historical data and certain assumptions with respect to events that may occur in the future. The uncertainties of asbestos claim litigation and resolution of the litigation with the insurance companies make it difficult to predict accurately the ultimate resolution of asbestos claims beyond four years. That uncertainty is increased by the possibility of adverse rulings or new legislation affecting asbestos claim litigation or the settlement process.
Rockwell maintained insurance coverage that management believes covers indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insurance retentions, for most of these claims. The company has initiated claims against these carriers to enforce the insurance policies, which are currently being disputed. The company expects to recover some portion of defense and indemnity costs it has incurred to date, over and above self-insured retentions, and some portion of the costs for defending asbestos claims going forward. Based on consultation with advisors and underlying analysis performed by management, the company has recorded an insurance receivable related to Rockwell legacy asbestos-related liabilities of $9 million at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. If the assumptions with respect to the nature of pending claims, the cost to resolve claims and the amount of available insurance prove to be incorrect, the actual amount of liability for Rockwell asbestos-related claims, and the effect on the company, could differ materially from current estimates and, therefore, could have a material impact on the company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Indemnifications
In December 2005, the company guaranteed a third party’s obligation to reimburse another party for payment of health and prescription drug benefits to a group of retired employees. The retirees were former employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company prior to it being acquired by the company. The wholly-owned subsidiary, which was part of the company’s light vehicle aftermarket business, was sold by the company in fiscal year 2006. Prior to May 2009, except as set forth hereinafter, the third party met its obligations to reimburse the other party. In May 2009, the third party filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code requiring the company to recognize its obligations under the guarantee. The company recorded a $28 million liability in fiscal year 2009 for this matter. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, the company recorded a $4 million charge to increase the liability based on current demographic data. This amount is included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income. The estimated liability for this matter was approximately $23 million and $21 million at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

The company has provided indemnifications in conjunction with certain transactions, primarily divestitures. These indemnities address a variety of matters, which may include environmental, tax, asbestos and employment-related matters, and the periods of indemnification vary in duration. The company’s maximum obligations under these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. The company is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnifications. The company provided additional indemnifications in connection with the sale of its Body Systems business and its 57 percent interest in MSSC (see Note 4).
Other
On March 31, 2008, S&E Quick Lube, a filter distributor, filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging that twelve filter manufacturers, including a prior subsidiary of the company, engaged in a conspiracy to fix prices, rig bids and allocate U.S. customers for aftermarket automotive filters. This suit is a purported class action on behalf of direct purchasers of filters from the defendants. Several parallel purported class actions, including on behalf of indirect purchasers of filters, have been filed by other plaintiffs in a variety of jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. The cases have been consolidated into a multi-district litigation proceeding in Federal court for the Northern District of Illinois. On April 16, 2009, the Attorney General of the State of Florida filed a complaint with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois based on these same allegations. On May 25, 2010, the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Washington informed the company that it also was investigating the allegations raised in these suits. On August 9, 2010, the County of Suffolk, New York, filed a complaint in the Eastern District of New York based on the same allegations. The case has been transferred to the multi-district litigation proceeding in Illinois. On April 14, 2011, the judge in that multi-district litigation granted a stay on discovery and depositions until July 25, 2011. The stay was subsequently extended until August 23, 2011. The company intends to vigorously defend the claims raised in all of these actions. The company is unable to estimate a range of exposure, if any, at this time.
In addition, various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings, other than those specifically disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, have been or may be instituted or asserted against the company, relating to the conduct of the company’s business, including those pertaining to product liability, warranty or recall claims, intellectual property, safety and health, contract and employment matters. Although the outcome of other litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the company, management believes the disposition of matters that are pending will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
21. Shareowners’ Equity (Deficit)
Common Stock
In March 2010, the company completed an equity offering of 19,952,500 common shares, par value of $1 per share, at a price of $10.50 per share. The proceeds of the offering of $200 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, were primarily used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit facility and under the U.S. accounts receivable securitization program. The offering was made pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, registering $750 million aggregate debt and/or equity securities that may be offered in one or more series on terms to be determined at the time of sale (see Note 17).

22. Business Segment Information
The company defines its operating segments as components of its business where separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, as a result of the divestiture activity described in Note 4, the company included its former LVS reporting segment in discontinued operations. All prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the classification of the company’s former LVS reporting segment as discontinued operations. The company has three reportable segments at June 30, 2011, as follows:
- The Commercial Truck segment supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines and braking and suspension systems, primarily for medium- and heavy-duty trucks in North America, South America and Europe;
- The Industrial segment supplies drivetrain systems including axles, brakes, drivelines and suspensions for off-highway, military, construction, bus and coach, fire and emergency and other industrial applications. This segment also includes the company’s OE businesses in Asia Pacific, including all on- and off-highway activities; and
- The Aftermarket & Trailer segment supplies axles, brakes, drivelines, suspension parts and other replacement and remanufactured parts, including transmissions, to commercial vehicle aftermarket customers. This segment also supplies a wide variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications.
Segment EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges. The company uses Segment EBITDA as the primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of its reportable segments. In fiscal year 2010, the company modified the definition of Segment EBITDA to include the entire EBITDA from the company’s consolidated joint ventures before making adjustment for non-controlling interests, and to exclude restructuring costs and asset impairment charges. Including the entire EBITDA of our consolidated joint ventures, consistent with the related revenues, better reflects the performance of our Industrial segment and is consistent with how the CODM currently measures segment performance. All prior period amounts have been recast to reflect these changes.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the use of Segment EBITDA. The company may allocate certain common costs, primarily corporate functions, between the segments differently than the company would for stand alone financial information prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These allocated costs include expenses for shared services such as information technology, finance, communications, legal, human resources and certain engineering costs. The company does not allocate interest expense and certain legacy and other corporate costs not directly associated with the Segments’ EBITDA.

23. Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
Certain of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement (the Guarantors) irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility. Similar subsidiary guarantees were provided for the benefit of the holders of the publicly-held notes outstanding under the company’s indentures (see Note 17).
In lieu of providing separate financial statements for the Guarantors, the company has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements. These condensed consolidating financial statements are presented on the equity method. Under this method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the parent’s share of the subsidiary’s cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions and other equity changes. The Guarantor subsidiaries are combined in the condensed consolidating financial statements.

MERITOR, INC.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
Meritor, Inc. (formerly ArvinMeritor, Inc.), headquartered in Troy, Michigan, is a premier global supplier of a broad range of integrated systems, modules and components to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and the aftermarket for the commercial vehicle, transportation and industrial sectors. The company serves commercial truck, trailer, off-highway, military, bus and coach and other industrial OEMs and certain aftermarkets. On March 30, 2011, we announced that we officially changed the company name from ArvinMeritor, Inc. to Meritor, Inc. and on that date, began trading our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MTOR.
3rd Quarter Fiscal Year 2011 Results
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, we saw stronger commercial truck demand in all regions. As a result, sales increased in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 to approximately $1,287 million compared $966 million in the prior year’s third quarter. The higher sales resulted in improved financial results compared to the prior year’s third fiscal quarter. Pre-tax income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $58 million, compared to $19 million in the prior year’s third fiscal quarter. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $17 million compared to a net loss of $3 million in the same period in fiscal year 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $102 million compared to $66 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.9 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 6.8 percent in the prior year’s third fiscal quarter. Although the higher sales volumes resulted in significantly improved operating results, including Adjusted EBITDA, our financial performance was negatively impacted in the quarter by higher steel, freight and other premium costs. Also unfavorably impacting Adjusted EBITDA were lower sales for certain military programs, which typically carry higher margins.
Cash flow from operating activities was $25 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $47 million in the prior fiscal year’s third quarter. The decrease in operating cash flows in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to higher investments in inventory as global commercial vehicle and industrial markets continue to strengthen.
Trends and Uncertainties
Production Volumes
The following table reflects estimated commercial vehicle production volumes for selected original equipment (OE) markets for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 based on available sources and management’s estimates.

The pace of the recovery of commercial truck volumes in North America and Europe, our largest markets, has been more rapid than previously anticipated and we expect this trend to continue in the near-term. In addition, we expect production volumes in these regions to continue to strengthen and potentially exceed historical norms. Production volumes in South America and Asia-Pacific markets have generally returned to levels that are strong by historic standards.
Increasing Steel Costs
The price of steel has increased significantly in fiscal year 2011 and is expected to remain at these higher prices in the near term. These steel price increases along with increasing transportation costs, have created pressure on profit margins and could continue to unfavorably impact our financial results in the future. While we have steel pricing adjustment programs in place with most major OE manufacturers, the price adjustment programs tend to lag the increase in steel costs. As such, we have been pursuing accelerated recovery actions to address the impact of these costs on our near-term profitability.

MERITOR, INC.
Industrial Segment Profitability
Revenues in our Industrial segment in the last twelve months were negatively impacted by reduced production for certain military programs. These reductions had a negative impact on our Industrial segment profitability. If government defense spending decreases on selected programs or we are unable to secure new military contracts, it could have a longer term negative impact on our Industrial segment, and to a lesser extent on our Aftermarket and Trailer segment due to relatively lower sales of military service parts. In addition, if sales on our military programs do return to historic levels, the level of profitability on these sales is expected to be lower than what we have recognized in recent periods. Although OE sales in the Asia-Pacific region, which are included in our Industrial segment, have increased, they have not fully offset the impact on Adjusted EBITDA of lower military sales, and there can be no assurances that they will do so going forward.
Industry-Wide Issues
Our business continues to address a number of other challenging industry-wide issues including the following:
- The accelerated ramp up of commercial truck production in North America and other regions and the impact on the ability to support customer demand;
- Volatility in price and availability of steel, components and other commodities, including recent sharp increases in steel prices;
- Disruptions in the financial markets and their impact on the availability and cost of credit;
- Higher energy and transportation costs;
- Consolidation and globalization of OEMs and their suppliers;
- Pension and retiree medical health care costs; and
- Currency exchange rate volatility.
Other
Other significant factors that could affect our results and liquidity in fiscal year 2011 include:
- Ability to work with our commercial truck customers to adjust their demand given the rapid acceleration of production;
- Ability to recover and timing of recovery of steel price and other cost increases from our customers;
- Any unplanned extended shutdowns or production interruptions by us, our customers or our suppliers;
- A significant deterioration or slowdown in economic activity in the key markets we operate;
- Higher than planned price reductions to our customers;
- Potential price increases from our suppliers;
- Additional restructuring actions and the timing and recognition of restructuring charges;
- Higher than planned warranty expenses, including the outcome of known or potential recall campaigns;
- Our ability to implement planned productivity and cost reduction initiatives;
- Significant contract awards or losses of existing contracts.
LVS Divestiture Update
On January 3, 2011, we completed the sale of our Body Systems business to an affiliate of Inteva Products, LLC. Pursuant to the Agreement signed in August 2010, total consideration was approximately $35 million, subject to certain potential adjustments for items such as working capital fluctuations. The actual purchase price at the closing was $27 million (excluding estimated closing expenses for outside advisory fees of $12 million), consisting of $12 million in cash at closing (adjusted for estimated balances in working capital and other items at the time of the closing) and a five year, 8 percent promissory note for $15 million. In addition to the purchase price, we expect to receive the cash held at the time of the sale by the Body Systems entities operating in China and Brazil of approximately $33 million, before applicable taxes and other withholding, at such time as it becomes available for distribution, as provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. We recognized an after-tax gain of $32 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 associated with this transaction. This gain is recorded in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income.

MERITOR, INC.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, we also completed the sale of our chassis operations in Bonneval, France which make ride control parts (shock absorbers) for sales in Europe. In connection with the sale, we recognized an after-tax loss of $13 million, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income.
As of June 30, 2011, we have substantially completed the transformation of our company through the sale of the majority of our light vehicle systems (LVS) businesses. The remaining non-core business consists of a small damper business located in Leicester, England, for which we continue to pursue alternatives. The results of operations and cash flows of all of our LVS businesses are presented in discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, and prior period information has been recast to reflect this presentation.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), we have provided information regarding non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are defined as reported income or loss from continuing operations and reported diluted earnings or loss per share from continuing operations before restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are meaningful measures of performance as they are commonly utilized by management and investors to analyze ongoing operating performance and entity valuation. Management, the investment community and banking institutions routinely use Adjusted EBITDA, together with other measures, to measure operating performance in our industry. Further, management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning and forecasting future periods. In addition, we use Segment EBITDA as the primary basis to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments. Management believes that Free cash flow is useful in analyzing our ability to service and repay debt.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for cash provided by (used for) operating activities, or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of financial position or liquidity. In addition, these non-GAAP cash flow measures do not reflect cash used to service debt or cash received from the divestitures of businesses or sales of other assets and thus do not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
