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, 2021.
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.
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) Current Operating Environment
Due to the overall global economic conditions in 2020, largely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the automotive industry experienced a decline in global customer sales and production volumes. Production disruptions continued in 2021 and are continuing in 2022, again largely due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly through supply shortages and, to a lesser extent, the resurgence of the virus in China with corresponding 'stay at home' government orders, as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The most significant supply shortage relates to semiconductor chips, which is impacting global vehicle production and resulting in reductions and cancellations of planned production. In addition, the Company is experiencing increased costs related to labor inefficiencies and shortages, which are likely to continue for a period of time. Increases in certain commodity costs, as well as transportation, logistics and utility costs, are also impacting, and will continue to impact, the Company's operating results for the foreseeable future. Further resurgences of the COVID-19 virus or its variants in other regions, including corresponding "stay at home" or similar government orders impacting industry production, could also impact the Company's financial results.
In March 2022, as the Company's customers began to suspend their Russian operations as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Company similarly suspended its Russian operations. Although the Company's net sales and total assets in Russia represent less than 1% of consolidated net sales and total assets, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and sanctions imposed on Russia globally have resulted in economic and supply chain disruptions affecting the overall industry, the ultimate financial impact of which cannot be reasonably estimated. Further, although the Company does not have operations in Ukraine, the Ukrainian operations of certain of the Company's suppliers and suppliers of its customers have been and will continue to be disrupted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management as of July 2, 2022, and for the six 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; valuations of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; and credit losses related to the Company's financial instruments. Events and circumstances arising after July 2, 2022, including those resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, will be reflected in management's estimates and assumptions in future periods.
(3) Acquisition of Kongsberg ICS
On February 28, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of Kongsberg Automotive's Interior Comfort Systems business unit ("Kongsberg ICS"). Kongsberg ICS specializes in comfort seating solutions, including massage, lumbar, seat heat and ventilation, with annual sales of approximately $300 million, of which approximately 20% are intercompany.
The acquisition of Kongsberg ICS was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2022. The operating results and cash flows of Kongsberg ICS are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition in the Company's Seating segment.

Preliminary purchase price allocation$184.2 $3.6 $187.8 
(1) Preliminary purchase price reflects cash paid of $184.2 million plus amounts due to seller of $3.6 million
Goodwill recognized in this transaction is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expected synergies related to future growth.
Intangible assets consist of amounts recognized for the fair value of developed technology based on an independent appraisal. It is currently estimated that the developed technology will have a weighted average useful life of approximately seventeen years.
The purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and may be revised as a result of further adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding liabilities assumed, including, but not limited to, certain tax attributes and contingent liabilities, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values resulting from the completion of independent appraisals and valuations of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
The Company incurred transaction costs of $9.3 million in the six months ended July 2, 2022, which have been expensed as incurred and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The pro-forma effects of this acquisition do not materially impact the Company's reported results for any period presented.
For further information related to acquired assets measured at fair value, see Note 19, "Financial Instruments."
(4) 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 when restructuring actions are approved, communicated and/or implemented.
In the first six months of 2022, the Company recorded charges of $71.7 million in connection with its restructuring actions. These charges consist of $54.4 million recorded as cost of sales and $17.3 million recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. The restructuring charges consist of employee termination costs of $57.4 million, asset impairment charges of $7.5 million and contract termination costs of $1.9 million, as well as other related costs of $4.9 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 $1.1 million in excess of related estimated fair values and the impairment of right-of-use assets of $6.4 million.
The Company expects to incur approximately $43 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of July 2, 2022, 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.

Property, Plant and Equipment
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.

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. The Company will continue to assess the impact of significant industry and other events on the realization of its long-lived assets.
In the first half of 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized fixed asset impairment charges of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in conjunction with its restructuring actions (Note 4, "Restructuring"). In the first half of 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized additional asset impairment charges of $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
In the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $8.5 million related to an intangible asset of its E-Systems segment resulting from a change in the intended use of such asset. The impairment charge is included in amortization of intangible assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021.

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 measured and recognized. The annual goodwill impairment assessment is completed as of the first day of the Company's fourth quarter.
There was no impairment of goodwill in the first six months of 2022 and 2021. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of significant industry and other events on its recorded goodwill.
For further information related to the acquisition, see Note 3, "Acquisition of Kongsberg ICS."

(12) 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 infrequent. 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 current purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments. In the first six months of 2022 and 2021, revenue recognized related to prior years represented less than 2% of consolidated net sales. The Company's customers pay for products

Further, in the first six months of 2022 and 2021, there were no significant contract liabilities recognized in revenue.
Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.

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 9, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Lear Corporation Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock Share Repurchase Program
The Company 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 the Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors.
The Company has a common stock share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") which permits the discretionary repurchase of its common stock. Since its inception in the first quarter of 2011, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized $6.1 billion in share repurchases under the Repurchase Program, and the Company has repurchased, in aggregate, $4.8 billion of its outstanding common stock, at an average price of $91.27 per share, excluding commissions and related fees. On May 19, 2022, the Board extended the term of the Repurchase Program to December 31, 2024.

(17) Legal and Other Contingencies
As of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes, and other legal matters of $16.6 million and $19.5 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 related to commercial or contractual disputes with its customers, suppliers and competitors. These disputes vary in nature and are usually resolved by negotiations between the parties.
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 recalls and warranty claims.

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 claims, recalls 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.
The Company records product warranty reserves when liability is probable and related amounts are reasonably estimable.

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 July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded environmental reserves of $8.2 million and $8.0 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.
(18) Segment Reporting
The Company is organized under two reportable operating segments: Seating, which consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete seat systems, seat subsystems and key seat components, and E-Systems, which consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete electrical distribution and connection systems and electronic systems. Key components in the Company's complete seat system and subsystem solutions are advanced comfort, wellness and safety offerings, as well as configurable seating product technologies. All of these products are compatible with traditional internal combustion engine ("ICE") architectures and the full range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric architectures (collectively, "electrified powertrains"). Key seat component product offerings include seat trim covers, surface materials such as leather and fabric, seat mechanisms, seat foam and headrests, as well as advanced comfort offerings of massage, lumbar, seat heat and ventilation. Key components in the Company's electrical distribution and connection systems portfolio include wire harnesses, terminals and connectors, and engineered components for both ICE architectures and electrified powertrains that require management of higher voltage and power. Key components in the Company's electronic systems portfolio include body domain and zone control modules and products specific to electrification and connectivity. Electrification products include integrated power modules and battery disconnect units, as well as on-board

LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
battery chargers, power conversion modules, high voltage battery management systems and high voltage power distribution boxes. Connectivity products include telematics control units ("TCU") and gateway modules to manage both wired and wireless networks and data in vehicles. In addition to electronic modules, the Company offers software that includes cybersecurity and full capabilities in both dedicated short-range communication and cellular protocols for vehicle connectivity. The Company's software offerings include embedded control software and cloud and mobile device-based software and services. 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, advanced research and development, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources.
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 (income) expense, net ("segment earnings") and (iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization.

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 hedge 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 hedge 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 the sale or liquidation of the investment, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the fair value of contracts not designated as hedge instruments are recorded in earnings and reflected in other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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 Chinese renminbi, the Philippine peso and the Japanese yen.
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 six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, contra interest expense on net investment hedges of $3.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, is included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

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).
32
LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
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 July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 six months of 2022.
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.
As a result of the acquisition of Kongsberg ICS (Note 3, "Acquisition of Kongsberg ICS"), Level 3 fair value estimates related to property, plant and equipment of $121.8 million, right-of-use assets of $34.1 million and developed technology intangible assets of $11.1 million are recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2022. Fair value estimates of property, plant and equipment were based on independent appraisals, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the appraisals were based on a combination of market and cost approaches, as

appropriate. Fair value estimates of right-of-use assets were based on a market approach. Fair value estimates of developed technology intangible assets were based on a relief from royalty approach.
In the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, the Company completed impairment assessments related to certain of its intangible assets resulting from changes in the intended uses of such assets and recorded impairment charges of $8.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively. The fair value estimate of the related asset group was based on management's estimates using a discounted cash flow method.
As of July 2, 2022, there were no additional significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

At Lear, we are Making every drive betterTM by providing technology for safer, smarter and more comfortable journeys, while adhering to our values — Be Inclusive. Be Inventive. Get Results the Right Way.
Our business is organized under two reporting segments: Seating and E-Systems. Each of these segments has a varied product and technology range across a number of component categories.
Our Seating business consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete seat systems, seat subsystems and key seat components. Our capabilities in operations and supply chain management enable synchronized (just-in-time) assembly and delivery of high volumes of complex complete seat systems to our customers. Included in our complete seat system and subsystem solutions are advanced comfort, wellness and safety offerings, as well as configurable seating product technologies. Our advanced comfort, wellness and safety offerings are facilitated by our system, component and integration capabilities, together with our in-house electronics, sensor, software and algorithm competencies. Our comfort offerings have been enhanced by our first quarter 2022 acquisition of substantially all of Kongsberg Automotive's Interior Comfort Systems business unit ("Kongsberg ICS"), which specializes in comfort seating solutions, including massage, lumbar, seat heat and ventilation. As the most vertically integrated global seat supplier, our key seat component product offerings include seat trim covers, surface materials such as leather and fabric, seat mechanisms, seat foam and headrests, as well as advanced comfort offerings of massage, lumbar, seat heat and ventilation. All of these products are compatible with traditional internal combustion engine ("ICE") architectures and the full range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric architectures (collectively, "electrified powertrains").
Our E-Systems business consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete electrical distribution and connection systems and electronic systems. The combination of these capabilities enables us to provide our customers with customizable solutions with optimized designs at a competitive cost. Electrical distribution and connection systems utilize low voltage wire, high voltage wire, high speed data cables and flat wiring to connect networks and electrical signals and manage electrical power within the vehicle for all types of powertrains – from traditional ICE architectures to the full range of electrified powertrains. Key components in our electrical distribution and connection systems portfolio include wire harnesses, terminals and connectors and engineered components for both ICE architectures and electrified powertrains that require management of higher voltage and power. Electronic systems facilitate signal, data and power management within the vehicle and include the associated software required to facilitate these functions. Key components in our electronic systems portfolio include body domain and zone control modules and products specific to electrification and connectivity. Electrification products include integrated power modules and battery disconnect units, as well as on-board battery chargers, power conversion modules, high voltage battery management systems and high voltage power distribution boxes. Connectivity products include telematics control units ("TCU") and gateway modules to manage both wired and wireless networks and data in vehicles. In addition to electronic modules, we offer software that includes cybersecurity and full capabilities in both dedicated short-range communication and cellular protocols for vehicle connectivity. Our software offerings include embedded control software and cloud and mobile device-based software and services. Our customers traditionally have sourced our electronic hardware together with the software that we embed in it.
We serve all of the world's major automotive manufacturers across both our Seating and E-Systems businesses, and we have automotive content on more than 450 vehicle nameplates worldwide. It is common for us to have both seating and electrical and/or electronic content on the same vehicle platform.
Our businesses benefit globally from leveraging common operating standards and disciplines, including world-class product development and manufacturing processes, as well as common customer support and regional infrastructures, all of which contribute to our reputation for operational excellence. Our core capabilities are shared across component categories and include: high-precision manufacturing and assembly with short lead times; management of complex supply chains; global engineering and program management skills; the agility to establish and/or transfer production between facilities quickly; and a

LEAR CORPORATION
unique customer-focused culture. Our businesses utilize proprietary, industry-specific processes and standards, leverage common low-cost engineering centers and share centralized operating support functions. These functions include logistics, supply chain management, quality, health and safety, and all major administrative functions.
Industry overview
Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers, which is ultimately dependent on the availability of raw materials and components and consumer demand for automotive vehicles, and our content per vehicle. Due to the overall global economic conditions in 2020, largely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the automotive industry experienced a decline in global customer sales and production volumes. Although industry production increased 3% in 2021 over 2020 and is expected to increase 5% in 2022 over 2021 (based on July 2022 S&P Global Mobility, formerly IHS Markit, projections), production remains well below recent historic levels and consumer demand. This is largely due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly through supply shortages and, to a lesser extent, the resurgence of the virus in China with corresponding "stay at home" government orders, as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The most significant supply shortage relates to semiconductor chips, which is impacting global vehicle production and resulting in reductions and cancellations of planned production. In addition, we are experiencing increased costs related to labor inefficiencies and shortages, which are likely to continue for a period of time. Increases in certain commodity costs, as well as transportation, logistics and utility costs, are also impacting, and will continue to impact, our operating results for the foreseeable future. Further resurgences of the COVID-19 virus or its variants in other regions, including corresponding "stay at home" or similar government orders impacting industry production, could also impact our financial results. For risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including supply shortages, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in this Report.
In March 2022, as our customers began to suspend their Russian operations as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we similarly suspended our Russian operations. Although our net sales and total assets in Russia represent less than 1% of our consolidated net sales and total assets, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and sanctions imposed on Russia globally have resulted in economic and supply chain disruptions affecting the overall industry, the ultimate financial impact of which cannot be reasonably estimated. Further, although we do not have operations in Ukraine, the Ukrainian operations of certain of our suppliers and suppliers of our customers have been and will continue to be disrupted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

(2) Production data for 2021 have been updated from our second quarter 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect actual production levels
In addition to the factors noted above, automotive sales and production can be affected by the age of the vehicle fleet and related scrappage rates, labor relations issues, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements, the availability and cost of credit, the availability of critical components needed to complete the production of vehicles, restructuring actions of our customers and suppliers, facility closures, changing consumer attitudes toward vehicle ownership and usage and other factors. Our operating results are also significantly impacted by the overall commercial success of the vehicle platforms for which we supply particular products, as well as the level of vertical integration and profitability of the products that we supply for these platforms. The loss of business with respect to any vehicle model for which we are a significant supplier, or a decrease in the production levels of any such models, could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, larger cars and light trucks, as well as vehicle platforms that offer more features and functionality, such as luxury, sport utility and crossover vehicles, typically have more content and, therefore, tend to have a more significant impact on our operating results.

Our ability to reduce the risks inherent in certain concentrations of our business, and thereby maintain our financial performance in the future, will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to diversify our sales on a customer, product, platform and geographic basis to reflect the market overall.
The automotive industry, and our business, continue to be shaped by the broad trends of electrification, connectivity, autonomy, and shared mobility. We also consider demand and regulatory requirements related to improved energy efficiency, sustainability, enhanced safety and communications (e.g., government mandates related to fuel economy, carbon emissions and safety equipment) to be significant drivers of these trends, each of which is likely to be at the forefront of our industry for the foreseeable future.
In addition to key foundational attributes imperative for success as an automotive supplier (quality, service and cost), our strategic initiatives focus on furthering our competitive differentiation through vertical integration, disruptive innovation and advanced manufacturing technology. We have expanded key component capabilities through organic investment and acquisitions to ensure a full complement of the best solutions for our customers. We have restructured, and continue to align, our manufacturing and engineering footprint to attain a leading competitive cost position globally. We have established or expanded activities in new and growing markets, in support of our customers' growth initiatives and in pursuit of opportunities with new customers. These initiatives have helped us achieve our financial goals overall, as well as a more balanced regional, customer and vehicle segment diversification in our business.
For further information related to these trends and our strategy, see Item 1, "Business — Industry and Strategy," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Our customers typically require us to reduce our prices over the life of a vehicle model and, at the same time, assume significant responsibility for the design, development and engineering of our products. Our financial performance is largely dependent on our ability to offset these price reductions with product cost reductions through product design enhancement, supply chain management, manufacturing efficiencies and restructuring actions. We also seek to enhance our financial performance by investing in product development, design capabilities and new product initiatives that respond to and anticipate the needs of our customers and consumers. We continually evaluate operational and strategic alternatives to improve our business structure and align our business with the changing needs of our customers and major industry trends affecting our business.
Our material cost as a percentage of net sales was 66.2% in the first half of 2022, as compared to 64.7% in the first half of 2021, reflecting increases in certain commodity costs. Raw material, energy and commodity costs can be volatile, reflecting changes in supply and demand, logistics issues, global trade and tariff policies, and geopolitical issues. Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. 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, contractual recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. Further, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through purchased components, and a significant portion of our copper, leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining commodity price environment. In the current environment of escalating raw material, energy and commodity costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, have only offset a portion of the adverse impact. In addition, the availability of raw materials, commodities and product components fluctuates from time to time due to factors outside of our control. If these costs increase or availability is restricted, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future. See "— Forward-Looking Statements" below and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in this Report.

Financial Measures
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus primarily on earnings, operating margins, cash flows and return on invested capital. Our strategy includes expanding our business with new and existing customers globally through new products, including electrification. Asia continues to present long-term growth opportunities, as we focus on expanding our market share and content per vehicle in response to increasing demand for luxury and performance features in this region. In addition to our wholly owned locations, we currently have fifteen operating joint ventures with operations in Asia, as well as two additional joint ventures in North America dedicated to serving Asian automotive manufacturers. We also have selectively increased our vertical integration capabilities globally, as well as expanded our component manufacturing capacity in Asia, Eastern Europe, Mexico and Northern Africa and our low-cost engineering capabilities in Asia, Eastern Europe and Northern Africa.
Our success in generating cash flow will depend, in part, on our ability to manage working capital effectively. Working capital can be significantly impacted by the timing of cash flows from sales and purchases. Historically, we generally have been successful in aligning our supplier payment terms with our customer payment terms. However, our ability to continue to do so may be impacted by adverse automotive industry conditions, including inconsistent production schedules due to supply shortages, changes to our customers' payment terms and the financial condition of our suppliers, as well as our financial condition. In addition, our cash flow is impacted by our ability to manage our inventory and capital spending effectively. We utilize return on invested capital as a measure of the efficiency with which our assets generate earnings. Improvements in our return on invested capital will depend on our ability to maintain an appropriate asset base for our business and to increase productivity and operating efficiency.
Acquisitions
On February 28, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Kongsberg ICS, which specializes in comfort seating solutions. With almost 50 years of experience in comfort seating solutions, Kongsberg ICS has leading technology, a well-balanced customer portfolio built on longstanding relationships with leading premium automotive manufacturers and an experienced team. The Kongsberg ICS acquisition is expected to further advance our seat component capabilities into specialized comfort seating solutions that further differentiate our product offerings and improve vehicle performance and packaging — important features across various vehicle segments. The transaction is valued at approximately $188 million, on a cash and debt free basis.
On May 19, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Thagora Technology SRL ("Thagora"), a privately held company specializing in material utilization hardware and software technologies based in Iasi, Romania. We expect that Thagora's innovative technologies will complement our sustainable manufacturing processes by reducing scrap and lowering energy usage during production.
On May 20, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire I.G. Bauerhin ("IGB"), a privately held supplier of automotive seat heating, ventilation, active cooling, steering wheel heating, seat sensors and electronic control modules, headquartered in Gruendau-Rothenbergen, Germany. IGB has more than 4,000 employees at nine manufacturing plants in seven countries. The acquisition of IGB is expected to further our vertical integration strategy and advance our vision of being the leading provider of innovative thermal comfort solutions. The transaction is valued at approximately €140 million, on a cash and debt free basis. The acquisition, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions and adjustments, is expected to close by the first quarter of 2023.
Operational Restructuring
In the first half of 2022, we incurred pretax restructuring costs of $72 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $3 million, as compared to pretax restructuring costs of $33 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $7 million in the first half of 2021. None of the individual restructuring actions initiated in the first half of 2022 were material. Further, there have been no changes in previously initiated restructuring actions that have resulted (or will result) in a material change to our restructuring costs.
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. Our restructuring actions are designed to maintain or improve our operating results and profitability throughout the automotive industry cycles. Restructuring actions are generally funded within twelve months of initiation and are funded by cash flows from operating activities and existing cash balances. We expect to incur approximately $43 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of July 2, 2022, all of which are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months. We plan to implement additional restructuring actions in order to align our manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing regional automotive production levels. Such future restructuring actions are dependent on market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends
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 may repurchase our outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors (see "— Forward-Looking Statements" below).
Since the first quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized $6.1 billion in share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program. In the first half of 2022, we repurchased $50 million of shares. At the end of the second quarter of 2022, we have a remaining repurchase authorization of $1.3 billion, which expires on December 31, 2024.
Our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.77 per share of common stock in the first and second quarters of 2022.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2022 were $5.1 billion, as compared to $4.8 billion in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $310 million or 7%. New business in North America, Europe and Asia and higher production volumes on Lear platforms in North America, Europe and South America favorably impacted net sales by $244 million and $186 million, respectively. Net sales also benefited by $149 million and $58 million, respectively, due to commodity recoveries and our Kongsberg ICS acquisition. These increases were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and lower production volumes on Lear platforms in Asia, largely due to production downtime related to the COVID-19 pandemic in China and industry-wide supply shortages during the second quarter of 2022, which reduced net sales by $256 million and $73 million, respectively.

Cost of sales was $4.7 billion in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $4.4 billion in the second quarter of 2021. New business in North America, Europe and Asia and higher production volumes on Lear platforms in North America, Europe and South America increased cost of sales. Cost of sales also increased as a result of higher commodity costs and our Kongsberg ICS acquisition. These increases were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and lower production volumes on Lear platforms in Asia, largely due to production downtime related to the COVID-19 pandemic in China and industry-wide supply shortages during the second quarter of 2022, which reduced cost of sales.
Gross profit and gross margin were $340 million and 6.7% of net sales, respectively, in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $401 million and 8.4% of net sales, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021. New business and higher production volumes on Lear platforms globally positively impacted gross profit by $50 million. The impact of selling price reductions, increased commodity costs, higher restructuring costs and foreign exchange fluctuations was partially offset by favorable operating performance, including the benefit of restructuring actions. These factors had a corresponding impact on gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were $171 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 3.4% in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 3.6% in the second quarter of 2021.
Amortization of intangible assets was $25 million in the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021. An impairment charge of $9 million was recognized in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021.
Interest expense was $25 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $22 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Other (income) expense, net, which includes non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets, the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost and other miscellaneous income and expense, was expense of $14 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to income of $46 million in the second quarter of 2021. In the second quarter of 2022, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $2 million related to foreign exchange rate volatility in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. In the second quarter of 2021, we recognized a gain of $47 million related to a favorable indirect tax ruling in a foreign jurisdiction and a loss of $1 million related to the impairment of an affiliate.
In the second quarter of 2022, the provision for income taxes was $24 million, representing an effective tax rate of 22.4% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $105 million. In the second quarter of 2021, the provision for income taxes was $39 million, representing an effective tax rate of 17.1% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $229 million, for the reasons described below. For further information, see Note 14 "Income Taxes," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
In the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. In the second quarter of 2022, we recognized net tax benefits of $13 million related to the release of tax reserves at several foreign subsidiaries, the release of valuation allowances on the deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary, share-based compensation, restructuring charges and various other items. In the second quarter of 2021, we recognized net tax benefits of $21 million related to the release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary, the release of tax reserves at several foreign subsidiaries, restructuring charges and various other items, offset by tax expense of $16 million related to a favorable indirect tax ruling in a foreign jurisdiction.
Excluding these items, the effective tax rate for the second quarters of 2022 and 2021 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 $4 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $5 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Net income attributable to Lear was $69 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $175 million, or $2.89 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. Net income and diluted net income per share decreased for the reasons described above.
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, advanced 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 (income) 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 18, "Segment Reporting," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

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.
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.
45
LEAR CORPORATION
As of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents of $533 million and $661 million, respectively, were held in foreign subsidiaries and can be repatriated, primarily through the repayment of intercompany loans and the payment of dividends. 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 9, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Adequacy of Liquidity Sources
As of July 2, 2022, we had $0.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $2.0 billion 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 addition, we expect to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our authorized common stock share repurchase program, although such actions are at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors that our Board of Directors may consider at its discretion.
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, supply chain disruptions and other related factors. Additionally, an economic downturn or further reduction in production levels could negatively impact our financial condition.
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 and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in this Report.

Operating Activities
In the first six months of 2022 and 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $232 million and $508 million, respectively. The overall decrease in operating cash flows of $276 million primarily reflects lower earnings in 2022.

LEAR CORPORATION
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $485 million in the first six months of 2022, as compared to $283 million in the first six months of 2021. In the first six months of 2022, we paid $184 million for our Kongsberg ICS acquisition. Capital spending was $303 million in the first six months of 2022, as compared to $253 million in the first six months of 2021. Capital spending is estimated to be approximately $675 million to $700 million in 2022.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $222 million in the first six months of 2022, as compared to $132 million in the first six months of 2021. In the first six months of 2022, we paid $50 million for repurchases of our common stock, $94 million of dividends to Lear stockholders and $53 million of dividends to noncontrolling interest holders. In the first six months of 2021, we paid $29 million for repurchases of our common stock, $31 million of dividends to Lear stockholders and $53 million of dividends to noncontrolling interest holders.
Capitalization
Short-Term Borrowings
We utilize uncommitted lines of credit as needed for our short-term working capital fluctuations. As of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had lines of credit from banks totaling $248 million and $96 million, respectively. As of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no short-term debt balances outstanding related to draws on our lines of credit.
Senior Notes and Credit Agreement
For information related to our senior notes and credit agreement, see Note 9, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 7, "Debt," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Common Stock Share Repurchase Program
For information related to our common stock share repurchase program and dividends, see "— Executive Overview — Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends" above, Note 16, "Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 12, "Capital Stock, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and Equity," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Commodity Prices and Availability
Raw material, energy and commodity costs can be volatile, reflecting changes in supply and demand, logistics issues, global trade and tariff policies, and geopolitical issues. We have commodity price risk with respect to purchases of certain raw materials, including steel, copper, diesel fuel, chemicals, resins and leather. Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. 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, contractual recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. Further, 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 purchased components. Additionally, approximately 89% of our copper purchases and a significant portion of our leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining commodity price environment. In the current environment of escalating raw material, energy and commodity costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, have only offset a portion of the adverse impact. 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, 2021, as supplemented and updated by Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in this Report.

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 July 2, 2022, we have recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes, and other legal matters of $17 million. In addition, as of July 2, 2022, we have recorded reserves for product liability claims and environmental matters of $37 million and $8 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, 2021. For a more complete description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 17, "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, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the first six months of 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For information on the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 20, "Accounting Pronouncements," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
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.
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.

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 2021, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 77% 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.

LEAR CORPORATION
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 July 2, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
In February 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of Kongsberg Automotive's Interior Comfort Systems business unit ("Kongsberg ICS") and is currently integrating Kongsberg ICS into its operations, compliance programs and internal control processes. Kongsberg ICS constituted approximately 3% of the Company's total assets as of July 2, 2022, including goodwill and intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase price allocations, and approximately 1% of the Company's net sales in the six months ended July 2, 2022. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations allow 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 will exclude the acquired operations of Kongsberg ICS from its assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.
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, 2021. For a description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 17, "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, 2021, except for the modification of the risk factor set forth below:
•Our industry is cyclical and a decline in the production levels of our major customers, particularly with respect to models for which we are a significant supplier, or the financial distress of one or more of our major customers could adversely affect our financial performance.
Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by our automotive manufacturer customers, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive vehicles, and our content per vehicle. The automotive industry is cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions, including geopolitical issues, global credit markets, interest rates, inflation, consumer credit and consumer spending and preferences. Automotive sales and production can also be affected by the age of the vehicle fleet and related scrappage rates, labor relations issues, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements, tariffs and other non-tariff trade barriers, the availability and cost of credit, the costs and availability of critical components needed to complete the production of vehicles, logistics issues, restructuring actions of our customers and suppliers, facility closures and increased competition, as well as consumer preferences regarding vehicle size, configuration and features, including alternative fuel vehicles, changing consumer attitudes toward vehicle ownership and usage, such as ride sharing and on-demand transportation, and other factors.
51
LEAR CORPORATION
Due to the overall global economic conditions in 2020, largely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the automotive industry experienced a decline in global customer sales and production volumes. Although industry production increased 3% in 2021 over 2020 and is expected to increase 5% in 2022 over 2021 (based on July 2022 S&P Global Mobility, formerly IHS Markit, projections), production remains well below recent historic levels and consumer demand. This is largely due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly through supply shortages and, to a lesser extent, the resurgence of the virus in certain regions, as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The automotive industry is suffering from supply chain delays and stoppages due to shipping delays resulting in increased freight costs and closed supplier facilities and distribution centers. The industry also is facing workforce and staffing shortages, as well as scarcity and increases in prices of raw materials. As a result, we have experienced and may continue to experience reductions in orders from our customers in certain regions. An economic downturn or other adverse industry conditions that result in a decline in the production levels of our major customers, particularly with respect to models for which we are a significant supplier, or the financial distress of one or more of our major customers could reduce our sales or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Further, our ability to reduce the risks inherent in certain concentrations of business, and thereby maintain our financial performance in the future, will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to diversify our sales on a customer, product, platform and geographic basis to reflect the market overall. We may not be successful in such diversification.
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 — Executive Overview — Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends," and Note 16, "Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we have a remaining repurchase authorization of $1,279.5 million under our ongoing common stock share repurchase program.
