Third Quarter 2014 Results

The Company reported third quarter 2014 revenue of $4.1 billion, an increase of 3% from the prior year period, reflecting continued growth in Asia and North America. Adjusted for the impacts of currency exchange, commodity movements and acquisitions and divestitures, revenue increased by 3% in the third quarter. This reflects growth of 9% in Asia, 6% in North America and 1% in Europe, partially offset by a decline of 20% in South America.

The Company reported third quarter U.S. GAAP net income of $305 million and earnings of $1.02 per diluted share, compared to $271 million and $0.87 per diluted share in the prior year period. Third quarter net income excluding special items consisting of restructuring-related charges, acquisition-related integration costs, asset impairments and losses on extinguishment of debt ("Adjusted Net Income"), totaled $347 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, which includes the favorable impacts of a decreased effective tax rate and a reduced share count. Adjusted Net Income in the prior year period was $302 million, or $0.97 per diluted share.

Third quarter earnings before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense, equity income (loss), net of tax, restructuring, other acquisition-related costs and asset impairments ("Adjusted Operating Income") was $468 million, compared to $428 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased 60 basis points in the third quarter of 2014 to 11.3%, compared with 10.7% in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted Operating Income reflects the continued strong performance and growth of our businesses in Asia and North America, as well as the benefits of our on-going restructuring programs focused on aligning our manufacturing capacity with the current automotive production levels in Europe and South America. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $150 million in the third quarter, compared to $138 million in the prior year period.

Interest expense for the third quarter totaled $33 million, a decrease from $34 million in the prior year period, which reflects the benefits of our debt refinancing transactions in the first quarter of 2014.

Tax expense in the third quarter of 2014 was $63 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 16%, compared to $72 million, or an effective rate of 20%, in the prior year period. The decrease reflects the geographic mix of pretax earnings, partially offset by higher pretax earnings, and the unfavorable impacts of discrete items recorded in the prior period.

The Company generated net cash flow from operating activities of $499 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $398 million in the prior year period.

Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measure in the following schedules.

Adjusted Operating Income: Adjusted Operating Income is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance which is consistent with the basis and manner in which management presents financial information for the purpose of making internal operating decisions. Adjusted Operating Income is defined as net income before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense, equity income (loss), net of tax, restructuring, other acquisition-related costs and asset impairments.

DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE PLC
RECONCILIATION OF NET EARNINGS TO ADJUSTED EARNINGS
(Unaudited)

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share: Management believes adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, which are non-GAAP measures, are useful in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of the Company. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) before restructuring, acquisition-related integration costs, asset impairments and debt extinguishment costs. Adjusted Net Income Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Not all companies use identical calculations of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company's 2014 guidance was determined using a consistent manner and methodology.

Cash Flow Before Financing: Cash flow before financing is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's liquidity which is consistent with the basis and manner in which management presents financial information for the purpose of making internal operating decisions. Cash flow before financing is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities. Not all companies use identical calculations of cash flow before financing therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company's 2014 guidance was determined using a consistent manner and methodology.
