Third Quarter 2020 Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported U.S. GAAP revenue of $3.7 billion, an increase of 3% from the prior year period, despite global vehicle production declines of 4% (4% on an Aptiv weighted market basis, which represents global vehicle production weighted to the geographic regions in which the Company generates its revenue, "AWM") over the same period. Adjusted for currency exchange, commodity movements and divestitures, revenue increased by 3% in the third quarter. This reflects growth of 3% in Europe, 11% in Asia, which includes growth of 14% in China, and 3% in South America, partially offset by a decline of 3% in North America.

The Company reported third quarter 2020 U.S. GAAP net income of $283 million and earnings of $1.05 per diluted share, compared to $246 million and $0.96 per diluted share in the prior year period. Third quarter Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, totaled $320 million, or earnings of $1.13 per diluted share, compared to $325 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Third quarter Adjusted Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $389 million, compared to $410 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Operating Income margin was 10.6%, compared to 11.5% in the prior year period, reflecting the stabilization during the quarter of global vehicle production levels. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $192 million, an increase from $178 million in the prior year period.

Interest expense for the third quarter totaled $38 million, as compared to $42 million in the prior year period.

Tax benefit in the third quarter of 2020 was $2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately (1)%, as a result of current period net discrete tax benefits of $38 million, or approximately 12 points, primarily due to the favorable tax impacts of certain intragroup reorganizations during the quarter, which are intended to streamline and simplify the Company's operating and legal structure. Tax expense in the third quarter of 2019 was $38 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 13%.

The Company generated net cash flow from operating activities of $559 million in the third quarter, compared to $325 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted for currency exchange, commodity movements and divestitures, revenue decreased by 16% during the period. This reflects declines of 25% in North America, 16% in Europe, 3% in Asia, which was flat in China, and 15% in South America.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $556 million, an increase from $539 million in the prior year period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains information about Aptiv's financial results which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, Adjusted Revenue Growth, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Cash Flow Before Financing are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Revenue Growth represents the year-over-year change in reported net sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on net sales from currency exchange, commodity movements and divestitures. Adjusted Operating Income represents net income before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax (expense) benefit, equity income (loss), net of tax, restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs, asset impairments, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other transactions and deferred compensation related to acquisitions. Other acquisition and portfolio project costs include costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures. Adjusted Operating Income margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before depreciation and amortization (including asset impairments), interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax (expense) benefit, equity income (loss), net of tax, restructuring and other special items.

Adjusted Net Income represents net income attributable to Aptiv before restructuring and other special items, including the tax impact thereon. Adjusted Net Income Per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding for the period. The Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding assumes the application of the if-converted method of share dilution, if not already applied for U.S. GAAP purposes of calculating the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. Cash Flow Before Financing represents cash provided by operating activities plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities, adjusted for the purchase price of business acquisitions and net proceeds from the divestiture of other significant businesses.

Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In particular, management believes Adjusted Revenue Growth, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share and Cash Flow Before Financing are useful measures in assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the attached supplemental schedules at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

                (Unaudited)




        In this press release the Company has
         provided information regarding
         certain non-GAAP financial
         measures, including "Adjusted
         Revenue Growth," "Adjusted Operating
         Income," "Adjusted EBITDA,"
         "Adjusted Net Income," "Adjusted Net
         Income Per Share" and "Cash Flow
         Before Financing." Such non-GAAP
         financial measures are reconciled to
         their closest GAAP financial measure
         in the following schedules.




                                    Adjusted Revenue Growth
                :
                                     Adjusted Revenue Growth is presented
                                     as a supplemental measure of the
                                     Company's financial performance
                                     which management believes is useful
                                     to investors in assessing the
                                     Company's ongoing financial
                                     performance that, when reconciled to
                                     the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure,
                                     provides improved comparability
                                     between periods through the
                                     exclusion of certain items that
                                     management believes are not
                                     indicative of the Company's core
                                     operating performance and which may
                                     obscure underlying business results
                                     and trends. Our management utilizes
                                     Adjusted Revenue Growth in its
                                     financial decision making process,
                                     to evaluate performance of the
                                     Company and for internal reporting,
                                     planning and forecasting purposes.
                                     Adjusted Revenue Growth is defined
                                     as the year-over-year change in
                                     reported net sales relative to the
                                     comparable period, excluding the
                                     impact on net sales from currency
                                     exchange, commodity movements and
                                     divestitures and other transactions.
                                     Not all companies use identical
                                     calculations of Adjusted Revenue
                                     Growth, therefore this presentation
                                     may not be comparable to other
                                     similarly titled measures of other
                                     companies.

                                            also utilizes Adjusted Operating
                                            Income as the key performance
                                            measure of segment income or loss

                                            believes this measure is most
                                            reflective of the operational
                                            profitability or loss of our
                                            operating segments. Adjusted
                                            Operating Income is defined as net

                                            other income (expense), net,

                                            which management believes is
                                            useful to investors in assessing

                                            performance that, when reconciled

                                            measure, provides improved

                                            which may obscure underlying
                                            business results and trends. Our
                                            management utilizes Adjusted

                                            making process, to evaluate

                                            forecasting purposes. Adjusted
                                            EBITDA is defined as net income
                                            before depreciation and
                                            amortization (including asset

                                            items. Not all companies use
                                            identical calculations of Adjusted
                                            EBITDA, therefore this
                                            presentation may not be comparable
                                            to other similarly titled measures
                                            of other companies.

               (b)               In June 2020, the Company issued
                                  $1,150 million in aggregate
                                  liquidation preference of 5.50%
                                  MCPS and received proceeds of
                                  $1,115 million, after deducting
                                  expenses and the underwriters'
                                  discount of $35 million.
                                  Dividends on the MCPS are
                                  payable on a cumulative basis at
                                  an annual rate of 5.50% on the
                                  liquidation preference of $100
                                  per share. Unless earlier
                                  converted, each share of MCPS
                                  will automatically convert on

                                  cash dividends and assumed the

                                            Not all companies use identical
