William L. Kozyra, Chief Executive Officer and President,
commented:
"2019 represents steady progress in our organic growth strategy
for fluid systems with the award of a high volume HEV fuel tank
programme in North America. We also continue to invest in the
business with our new thermal products facility in Morocco to
primarily supply BEVs. The Group was successful in being awarded
additional smaller regional EV programmes along with new
collaboration projects with key customers, including in China, to
reduce weight, and maximise power efficiency in the vehicle through
thermal products and systems. We remain well positioned as a
leading partner for our customer's thermal BEV needs. The Group
remains well positioned for the automotive megatrends of reduced
emissions and electrification.
The Group continued to outperform global light vehicle
production, however, the global automotive market remains
challenging given the uncertainty presented by the COVID-19
(coronavirus) outbreak to regional and global economies. We remain
confident in our strategy, business model, operating flexibility
and strength in our ability to generate positive free cash
flow."

Chief Executive Officer's review
Our business continues to be resilient with strong margins and
leading cash flow generation.
We are pleased to report overall solid performance in 2019
despite the challenging global vehicle production environment.
2019 performance
Global light vehicle production volume declined by 5.6% in 2019,
compared to the prior year. We delivered revenue of EUR3.4 billion
(-3.5% at constant currency), or 2.1% above global light vehicle
production. If we include the impact of currency translation,
revenue slightly declined by 1.8%.
We also continued to generate strong Adjusted EBITDA of EUR498
million (14.6% margin) and Adjusted EBIT of EUR340 million (10.0%
margin). Profit for the year was EUR145 million (2018: EUR140
million) and Adjusted Free Cash Flow amounted to EUR172 million
(2018: EUR146 million). These strong results compared well in our
sector.
Our ability to maintain our strong financial performance with
solid margins and excellent positive cash flow in the face of the
prevailing market conditions demonstrates the Group's resilience
and the strength of our strategy, business model and management
focus.
Strategy update
In 2019, we continued our success as a leading global
manufacturer of highly engineered fluid storage, carrying and
delivery systems for light vehicles through the execution of our
strategy. Our financial performance benefited from our commitment,
focus and dedication to designing and producing products for
greener vehicles. We also continue to benefit from operational
flexibility and our balanced customer, platform and regional
profile. We continue to be confident in our focus on
electrification and our HEV and BEV strategy which is progressing
well.
Use our strength in key product areas to drive the Group's
market share
In 2019, we have worked to ensure the successful launch of the
two significant high volume thermal product programmes for EV
platforms that were awarded to us last year by two leading high
volume OEMs. Based on expected orders for thermal products on these
two BEV platforms, we anticipate that the Group will have an
approximate 50% share of these combined BEV platforms, representing
a total lifetime revenue opportunity of approximately EUR700
million. These thermal programmes are expected to last for the
eight to ten year life of the BEV vehicle models. Production is
expected to launch in 2020 for the first of these platforms. The
Group also launched and won other smaller, regional BEV platforms
in 2019.
Earlier this year, the Group set up a new facility in Tangier,
Morocco, to support the launch of these and future thermal products
for BEVs. The 7,700 square metre facility expanded the Group's
extrusion capabilities, expertise and capacity. The Group's
investment in Morocco also provides logistics savings as well as a
competitive cost structure with access to highly qualified labour.
Our expectation is that the business in Morocco will continue to
grow with the strength of our longstanding global customers, which
value Morocco's competitive export focus and strategic location.
The facility marks the Group's second location in Morocco.
In addition, I am very pleased that our strategic investment in
Morocco was done within the Group's overall capital expenditure
target of 3-4% of revenue.
In 2019, the Group also won a notable programme with a Japanese
OEM in North America for the supply of plastic fuel tanks. The
total lifetime units of these fuel tanks is estimated at 710,000
based on customer planning volumes. A significant number of these
tanks are for HEVs. We are pleased that this award, together with
other recent fuel tank business awards, continue to demonstrate
that our technology and advanced products are key elements that
support the ongoing mission of our OEM customers to meet their
stringent emission reduction and fuel efficiency targets. Our HEV
fuel tank continues to be well recognised as an industry leading
design and manufacturing product. Our win rate of HEV fuel tanks is
increasing.
Maintain balanced customer, platform, regional and product
diversification
The Group has highly diversified revenue with no dependency on
one geography. In 2019, we generated approximately 40% of our
revenue in Europe and Africa, 30% in Asia Pacific, 28% in North
America and 2% in Latin America. This diversification continues to
be a benefit for the Group.
We believe that the Group's long history of engineering and
manufacturing high-quality, reliable, performance-critical products
for global OEMs has built our positive reputation as an industry
leader and allowed us to develop strong and lasting relationships
with all of our customers. The Group has a highly diversified
customer base of global and local OEMs with only three customers,
individually, representing more than 10% of revenue in 2019.
Given our deep industry experience and history, we have gained
familiarity with each of our customers' unique engineering, design
and development processes. As a result, the Group is viewed as a
'trusted partner' by our OEM customers.
We continue to enhance our strategic position through
collaboration and development projects with key customers for the
design and engineering of thermal products for HEVs, BEVs and, most
recently AEVs. These projects are across different platforms and
regions, including China. We continue to work with the OEMs to
reduce weight in the vehicle through thermal products and systems
that take advantage of our technology and nylon capabilities.
Strengthen the Group's position as an advanced technology leader
in fluid systems to meet industry megatrends
As the requirements of OEMs have continued to advance, the Group
has capitalised on its knowledge of fluid components, lighter
weight material and systems architecture to provide our OEM
customers with more advanced designs and products to assist them to
meet regulatory requirements and consumer expectations. Most of our
products contribute to a cleaner world by making vehicles
greener.
The Group continues to invest in its fluid management portfolio
to include advanced products that are required to reduce emissions
and improve fuel economy in vehicles such as pressurised fuel tanks
and thermal management products.
The Group is the only global supplier with a fully integrated
design, development, manufacturing and supply capability for the
fuel tank system.
Capitalise on the Group's global scale, footprint and
position
The Group has significant manufacturing presence in all of the
major geographies for OEM vehicle production. In 2019, the Group
had 108 locations across 28 countries on 5 continents. Being in
close proximity to our OEM customers serves the Group very
well.
With respect to China, we were able to successfully flex our
cost base to mitigate the impact of the ongoing US-China trade
conflict and protect our financial performance, particularly our
Fluid Carrying Systems ('FCS') division which has had a large
presence in China for decades. Our Fuel Tank & Delivery Systems
('FTDS') division continues to grow in China, benefiting from the
ongoing conversion of heavy steel tanks to lighter weight plastic
tanks as well as tighter emission standards that are creating
higher demand for our partial and zero emission tanks.
In 2019, China made up 19% of the Group's revenue. China remains
the world's largest vehicle market despite the short-term
volatility in volumes.
Deliver strong growth, profitability and cash flow
generation
The Group has a consistent record of delivering strong financial
results.
In 2019, we successfully managed our fixed costs and
profitability despite lower global light vehicle production
volumes, particularly in China. We also successfully managed our
net pricing and commodity cost impacts to maintain broadly
consistent financial performance despite short-term market
headwinds.
Looking ahead
We continue to build on and invest in our leadership in
technology, global manufacturing and competitive cost structure to
support long-term revenue growth, profitability and cash flow
generation.
The impact of the current COVID-19 outbreak is highly uncertain
at this time. We are taking a number of mitigation actions but some
negative impact in the short-term appears likely. Over the longer
term, we expect to benefit not only as global light vehicle
production continues to grow, but also from increased demand for
our advanced fluid handling products and systems and higher content
opportunities driven by the underlying megatrends of emission
reduction, increased fuel efficiency and electrification. These
megatrends will continue to be front and centre for our sector.
We prioritise variable and fixed cost management and capital
allocation to deliver sustainable growth.
We believe the Group's strong customer relationships, extensive
global footprint and trusted reputation as a leading fluid systems
provider has contributed to thermal BEV collaboration agreements,
HEV and BEV production contracts and will support continued growth
in these markets for many years to come.
I remain excited about the path we are on and the Group's
future.
Our people
The Group relies on the skills and expertise of its excellent
employees worldwide, and the results of 2019 would not have been
achieved without the commitment and dedication of our entire global
team, whom I would like to recognise and sincerely thank.
Protecting the health and safety of our people is our highest
priority. We have taken proactive actions around the world,
including travel restrictions and flexible work programmes. I am
happy to report that, as I am writing this statement, we are not
aware of any of our employees that have been infected with
COVID-19.
We will continue to manage through the difficult environment in
2020.
Chief Financial Officer's Report
We are well placed to continue outperforming global light
vehicle production and delivering strong financial performance.

Global light vehicle production has a significant influence on
the Group's performance. In 2019, global light vehicle production
decreased by 5.6% to 88.9 million vehicles compared to the prior
year. Our revenue continued to outperform global light vehicle
production.
Revenue decreased by EUR124.1 million, or 3.5% year over year on
a constant currency basis, to EUR3.4 billion and exceeded the
global light vehicle production change by 2.1% in 2019. If we
include the positive impact of currency of EUR62.4 million,
reported revenue declined by EUR61.7 million, or 1.8% year over
year.
We generated Adjusted EBIT of EUR340.4 million with a margin of
10.0%, a reduction of 0.8% from the prior year Adjusted EBIT
margin. The margin decline was primarily due to lower volumes in
our FCS segment, particularly in China.
We delivered Adjusted Net Income of EUR150.3 million, compared
to EUR155.2 million in the prior year. Profit for the year was
EUR144.6 million compared to EUR140.1 million in 2018. Basic EPS
was 27.24 Euro cents, an increase of 2.7% from the prior year, and
Adjusted Basic EPS was 28.91 Euro cents, a decrease of 3.2% from
2018. 2019 was also another year of strong cash flow performance,
where we delivered Adjusted Free Cash Flow of EUR171.5 million,
EUR144.7 million excluding the EUR26.8 million impact of IFRS 16 -
Leases.
The new accounting standard for Leases, IFRS 16, was adopted
from 1 January 2019. The Group has applied the modified
retrospective approach and therefore has not restated its
comparative figures. Accordingly, some of the key performance
measures presented above and in this report are not comparable with
the prior year. Table 9 on page 18 details the impact of IFRS 16 on
individual line items.
Automotive Markets
Global light vehicle production volumes softened by 5.6% in 2019
to 88.9 million vehicles as shown in table 2. The softening was

Group revenue in 2019 was EUR3.4 billion, a decrease of 3.5%
year over year at constant currency and 2.1% better than the change
in global light vehicle production. Favourable exchange rate
movements of EUR62.4 million resulted in revenue being 1.8% lower
than the prior year.
In Europe and Africa, revenue at constant currency was 2.1%
lower than the prior year and outperformed light vehicle production
in the region by 3.8%. Europe and Africa light vehicle production
declined by 5.9%. Revenue outperformance was primarily due to new
business launches and favourable programme ramp up impacts,
particularly in FTDS, offset by lower volumes in FCS.
In Asia Pacific, revenue at constant currency declined by 1.5%
and outperformed light vehicle production in the region by 4.7%.
Asia Pacific light vehicle production declined by 6.2%. The
weakness in light vehicle production was most notable for us in
China. The Group generates 19% of its revenue in China, driven by
our longstanding market position in our brake and fuel lines
business within our FCS segment. Accordingly, FCS revenue was
impacted by the volume declines in China. Despite this we continued
to outperform in the region, primarily through continued new
business success with our fuel tanks in FTDS in China where the
Group is benefiting from the automotive megatrends of reduced
evaporative emissions and fuel efficiency, driven by the ongoing
switch from steel to plastic fuel tanks.
In North America, revenue at constant currency was 8.6% lower
than the prior year, or 4.7% below light vehicle production volume.
North America light vehicle production declined by 3.9%. Revenue
was impacted by OEM programme relocations to Europe and China as
well as mix, with the Group's lower exposure to SUVs and light
truck programmes in this region.
FCS revenue at constant currency declined by 7.2% from the prior
year to EUR1.9 billion. The FCS segment was particularly impacted
by lower production in China and mix in North America.
FTDS revenue at constant currency increased by 1.6% to EUR1.5
billion. FTDS continued to benefit from new wins in Asia Pacific
and resilient performance in Europe.
Currency exchange rates had a net favourable impact of EUR62.4
million on revenue compared with the prior year. This was mostly
due to weakening of the Euro against a number of key currencies in
countries where the Group has manufacturing operations.
Accordingly, revenue declined by 1.8% to EUR3.4 billion at reported
rates. Table 4 below sets out the movement in exchange rates most
relevant to our operations.

Operating profit, Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBIT*
We use several financial measures to manage our business,
including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT, which are non-IFRS
measures, but are measures of profitability that have been used
consistently by the Group. The metrics are also used in certain of
our compensation plans and to communicate to our investors. Table 5
shows a reconciliation between the reported measure, operating
profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT.

* See Non-IFRS measures
Operating profit of EUR258.9 million (2018: EUR281.1 million)
was impacted by lower revenue and partially offset by the adoption
of IFRS 16 which had a EUR5.5 million positive impact being the net
of the operating lease charges and the additional depreciation on
the right of use assets. As part of our ongoing pension management,
we executed a voluntary lump sum buyout exercise in the US. This
generated a EUR9.1 million settlement gain. Additionally a
definitive ruling on a Brazilian indirect tax matter delivered a
EUR4.8 million benefit to our operating profit. Both these 2019
gains offset higher costs and charges incurred in prior years.
Adjusted EBITDA was EUR497.8 million (2018: EUR484.3 million)
and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.6% (2018: 13.9%) where the lower
operating profit as a result of lower revenue was offset by the
impact of adopting IFRS 16 which had a EUR37.2 million benefit due
to the reversal of the operating lease charges. The main adjusting
item relates to restructuring where we took action in our
operations in Europe and North America.
Adjusted EBIT was EUR340.4 million (2018: EUR373.5 million) and
Adjusted EBIT margin was 10.0% (2018: 10.8%). This change was
impacted by conversion on lower revenue, partially offset by
reductions in overhead costs and the adoption of IFRS 16. We
continue to manage our costs in line with the reduced volumes in
order to minimise the impact on margins. Depreciation relating to
right-of-use assets recognised as part of IFRS 16 accounted for
EUR31.5 million of the increase in the depreciation and impairment
charge of PP&E.
By segment, FCS Adjusted EBIT was EUR199.4 million (2018:
EUR241.0 million) with Adjusted EBIT margin of 10.4% (2018: 11.9%).
FCS continues to achieve double digit margins despite the
prevailing market environment. The year over year decline in margin
reflected the volume reduction particularly in China, where we have
a high market share, as well as increases in resin costs.
FTDS Adjusted EBIT increased by EUR8.5 million to EUR141.0
million (2018: EUR132.5 million) with Adjusted EBIT margin of 9.4%
(2018: 9.2%). The increase in margin reflects the benefits of mix
and strong operational performance.
Net finance expense
Net finance expense for the year was EUR57.5 million, a decrease
of EUR7.0 million from the prior year.
We benefited from the full year impact of the interest savings
following the repayment of the 8.75% unsecured senior notes in July
2018, and a further EUR50 million term loan repayment in March
2019. These benefits amounted to EUR4.5 million. In 2018, we
incurred exceptional finance costs of EUR11.8 million associated
with the repayment of the unsecured senior notes and additional
term loan debt in July 2018. There was no equivalent charge in
2019. These benefits were partially offset by EUR10.5 million of
interest on lease liabilities, which have been recognised following
the adoption of IFRS 16.
Taxation
Income tax expense before exceptional items was EUR57.1 million
(2018: EUR77.0 million), which represents an Effective Tax Rate of
28.3% (2018: 35.5%). The tax expense was EUR19.9 million lower than
2018 due to an overall decrease in taxable profits, and the EUR12.2
million net benefit arising from the completion of a prior year
related Research & Experimentation claim in the US. Recognition
of this claim favourably impacts the Effective Tax Rate by
5.2%.
The Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, which was calculated by
adjusting for the impact of UK losses where no tax relief is
available, and prior year tax movements, including the Research
& Experimentation benefit, was 32.3% (2018: 32.2%). This
remained largely consistent with the prior year as the global mix
of profits and territories in which the Group operated remained
broadly the same.

*See Non-IFRS measures
Profit for the year increased by EUR4.5 million to EUR144.6
million, with lower operating profit as a result of conversion of
lower sales, offset by lower fixed costs, finance expense and
tax.
Adjusted Net Income was EUR150.3 million in 2019, a decrease of
3.2% from EUR155.2 million in 2018, primarily driven by exceptional
finance expenses added back to profit in 2018 which did not recur
in 2019, and the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding IFRS 16 impacts,
the result was EUR155.3 million in line with 2018, despite lower
revenue. The Group incurred restructuring costs of EUR9.0 million
in the year primarily related to operations in Europe and North
America (2018: EUR7.1 million).
Basic EPS and Adjusted Basic EPS*
On a statutory basis, Basic Earnings per Share ('EPS') was 27.24
Euro cents (2018: 26.53 Euro cents), an increase of 2.7% from the
prior year, reflecting the slightly higher statutory profit arising
from lower operating profit as a result of lower trading volumes
offset by lower net finance expense and tax. Adjusted Basic EPS
calculation is based on Adjusted Net Income and the weighted
average number of shares in issue. Adjusted Basic EPS was 28.91
Euro cents per share (2018: 29.87 Euro cents per share) reflecting
the decrease in Adjusted Net Income as noted above. Weighted
average shares outstanding in 2019 were 519.9 million (2018: 519.5
million). The prior year comparative has been re-presented to be
consistent with the 2019 number.
*See Non-IFRS measures
Dividend
The Board's dividend policy is to target an annual dividend of
approximately 30% of Adjusted Net Income, one third payable
following half year results and two thirds following the Group's
final results.
The Board has decided to recommend a final dividend of 5.94 Euro
cents per share, amounting to EUR30.9 million. This final dividend
together with the interim dividend of 3.02 Euro cents per share
paid in August 2019, makes a total dividend for 2019 of 8.96 Euro
cents per share and amounts to EUR46.6 million. The total annual
dividend is 31% of Adjusted Net Income (2018: 30%). Subject to
shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2020,
the final dividend will be paid on 29 May 2020. The dividend will
be converted to Sterling at a fixed rate on 24 April 2020, the
Dividend Record Date.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow*
The Group uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow as its primary operating
measure of cash flow performance.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow 171.5 146.2
------------------------------------------------- ------ ------
*See Non-IFRS measures
In 2019, we generated Adjusted Free Cash Flow of EUR171.5
million (2018: EUR146.2 million). The adoption of IFRS 16 had a
positive EUR26.8 million impact on Adjusted Free Cash Flow. The
Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Group was used to fund increased
investment in capital equipment and intangibles. There was a EUR7.5
million increase in property, plant and equipment and intangibles
expenditure primarily related to investment in our HEV and BEV
strategy and upcoming programme launches. The increase was offset
by lower working capital outflows due to lower revenue. Cash spend
on restructuring activities was EUR6.0 million (2018: EUR1.7
million).
Retirement benefits
We operate funded and unfunded defined benefit schemes across
multiple jurisdictions with the largest being the US pension and
retiree healthcare schemes. We also have major schemes in the UK,
Canada and Germany. While all of our major plans are closed to new
entrants, a few allow for future accrual. Our schemes are subject
to periodic actuarial valuations. Our net unfunded position
increased by EUR5.5 million to EUR153.7 million at the end of 2019
principally due to declining discount rates across many
territories, of which all but approximately EUR13.1 million of the
impact was offset by strong pension investment performance.
Offsetting this increase was a EUR9.1 million gain on settlement
arising from the voluntary lump sum buyout of two of our retirement
plans in the US.
Net debt* and net leverage
Net debt, a non-IFRS measure, at the end of 2019 was EUR738.3
million, a decrease of EUR82.1 million from the prior year. In
March 2019, the Group made a voluntary payment of $56.5 million
(EUR50.0 million) against its USD term loan using cash from
operations. The Group's net leverage ratio was 1.5 times Adjusted
EBITDA as at 31 December 2019 (2018: 1.7 times).
The Group excludes IFRS 16 lease liabilities from its net debt
and net leverage ratio. If the IFRS 16 lease liabilities were to be
included, the Group's net debt would be EUR905 million and net
leverage ratio would be 1.8 times Adjusted EBITDA.
*See Non-IFRS measures
Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been cash
generated from operating activities and amounts available under our
credit facilities, that currently consist of a revolving facility
under our cash flow credit agreement of $125 million (EUR111.4
million) and an asset backed loan ('ABL') facility of $100 million
(EUR89.1 million). The availability under both facilities as of 31
December 2019 was EUR177.2 million.
Outlook
Despite the forecasted decline in global light vehicle
production volumes in 2020, we expect that our 2020 revenue will
outperform global light vehicle production volumes similar to the
prior year, excluding currency movements. We also anticipate that
in 2020 our Adjusted EBIT margin will be a high single digit and
that Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion will be similar to the
prior year. It is our plan to continue to reduce net leverage while
maintaining a consistent dividend policy. However, importantly, our
outlook for 2020 does not include the impact of the ongoing
COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, which is continuing to evolve. In
the event that the COVID-19 outbreak becomes more widespread and/or
continues for an extended period of time, the impact to the
automotive industry and the Company will be difficult to predict.
We will continue to take actions to mitigate the negative impact of
COVID-19 as appropriate.
Non-IFRS measures
In addition to the results reported under IFRS, we use certain
non-IFRS financial measures to monitor and measure performance of
our business and operations and the profitability of our divisions.
Such measures are also utilised by the Board as targets in
determining compensation of certain executives and key members of
management, as well as in our communications with investors. In
particular, we use Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net
Income, Adjusted Basic EPS, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted
Effective Tax Rate. These non-IFRS measures are not recognised
measurements of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS, and
should be viewed as supplemental and not replacements or
substitutes for any IFRS measures.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the year adjusted for
income tax expense, net finance expense, depreciation, amortisation
and impairment of PP&E and intangible assets, net foreign
exchange gains / (losses), restructuring costs and adjustment for
associate income.
Adjusted EBIT is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation
(including PP&E impairment) and amortisation (including
intangibles impairment) arising on tangible and intangible assets
before adjusting for any purchase price adjustments to fair values
arising on acquisitions.
Operating profit margin is defined as operating profit expressed
as a percentage of revenue.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net
finance expense before exceptional items, income tax expense before
exceptional items, depreciation and amortisation (including
PP&E and intangible asset impairments) and non-controlling
interests share of profit.
Adjusted Basic EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by
the weighted average number of shares in issue in the year.
Free Cash Flow is defined as the total of net cash generated
from operating activities and net cash used by investing
activities.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as free cash flow adjusted
for acquisitions, movements in financial assets at fair value
through the profit or loss, cash payments related to IPO costs and
cash received on settlement of derivatives.
Adjusted Income Tax before Exceptional items is defined as
income tax before exceptional items adjusted for the tax impact of
prior year tax provisions and adjustments.
Adjusted Profit before Income Tax is defined as profit before
income tax adjusted for UK losses.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is defined as adjusted income tax
before exceptional items as a percentage of adjusted profit before
income tax.
Net debt is defined as the total of current and non-current
borrowings excluding lease liabilities, net of cash and cash
equivalents and financial assets at fair value through the profit
and loss.
Impact of adopting IFRS 16 - Leases
Reconciliations of key performance metrics have been shown where
appropriate to demonstrate the underlying performance on a
like-for-like basis.

1 . General Information
The Group's full financial statements have been approved by the
Board of Directors and reported on by the auditors on 16 March
2020. A copy of the statutory accounts for the year ended 31
December 2018 has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and
those for the year ended 31 December 2019 will be delivered in due
course. The independent auditors' report on the full financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 was unqualified and
did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph or any statement
under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
2 . Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial information included within this
announcement has been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the European
Union, the UK Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting
under IFRS, and International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee ('IFRS IC') interpretations issued and effective at the
time of preparing the financial information. The financial
information in this preliminary announcement does not, however
comply with all disclosure requirements.
The consolidated financial information has been prepared under
the historical cost convention, except for the fair valuation of
assets and liabilities of subsidiary companies acquired, and
financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss ('FVTPL') (including derivative instruments not in hedging
relationships).
The preparation of the financial information in conformity with
IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these
estimates are based on management's reasonable knowledge of the
amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those
estimates.
The Group has applied IFRS 16 'Leases' for the first time in the
2019 consolidated financial statements from its mandatory adoption
date of 1 January 2019, using the simplified transition (modified
retrospective) approach. Comparative amounts for the year ended 31
December 2018 have not been restated. All right-of-use assets
previously treated as operating leases have been measured at the
amount of the lease liability on adoption (adjusted for any prepaid
or accrued lease expenses). The Group has applied the practical
expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease on transition
and has therefore applied IFRS 16 to all contracts entered into
before 1 January 2019 and identified as leases, in accordance with
IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. The Group recognised right-of-use assets of
EUR146.3 million and lease liabilities of EUR147.0 million on
transition.
3 . Segment Reporting
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8 'Operating
Segments', the Group's segment reporting is based on the management
approach with regard to segment identification; under which
information regularly provided to the chief operating decision
maker ('CODM') for decision making purposes forms the basis of the
disclosure. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer and
the Chief Financial Officer. The CODM evaluates the performance of
the Company's segments primarily on the basis of revenue, Adjusted
EBITDA, and Adjusted EBIT, both non-IFRS measures.
Two operating segments have been identified by the Group: Fluid
Carrying Systems ('FCS') and Fuel Tank and Delivery Systems
('FTDS').
Inter-segment revenue is attributable solely to the ordinary
business activities of the respective segment and is conducted on
an arm's-length basis.

During 2019, TI Automotive LLC ('TI US') completed a Research
and Experimentation ('R&E') study for the years 2011 through
2018. As a result of the R&E study, TI US was able to report a
material tax benefit in the 2019 accounts in the amount of EUR12.2
million net. The R&E tax credit had a material favourable
impact on the 2019 effective tax rate for the Group.
Factors that may affect future tax charges include the continued
non-recognition of deferred tax assets in certain territories as
well as the existence of tax losses in certain territories which
could be available to offset future taxable income in certain
territories and for which no deferred tax asset is currently
recognised.

9. Leases
The Group has changed its accounting policy for leases and
adopted IFRS 16 'Leases' in the year in accordance with the
simplified transition approach permitted in the standard. The new
rules have been adopted in the current year only, with the
cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognised
on 1 January 2019. The Group has not restated comparative amounts
for the year ended 31 December 2018.
9.1. Amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet
The balance sheet at 31 December 2019 shows the following
amounts relating to leases:
2019
EURm
------------------------- -------
Right-of-Use Assets 161.4
------------------------- -----
Non-current liabilities
Lease Liabilities 138.0
Current liabilities
Lease Liabilities 28.7
Total Lease Liabilities 166.7
------------------------- -----
In the previous year, the Group only recognised lease
liabilities in relation to leases that were classified as 'finance
leases' under IAS 17 Leases. These were included as part of the
Group's borrowings in 2018 see Note 10, and were reclassified to
lease liabilities in the current year, as part of the adoption of
IFRS 16.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognised right-of-use assets
of EUR146.3 million and lease liabilities of EUR147.0 million on
the transition date of 1 January 2019. Property, plant and
equipment decreased by EUR1.4 million as a result of reclassifying
leased assets that were previously treated as property, plant and
equipment into right-of-use assets. Borrowings decreased by EUR2.0
million as a result of reclassifying finance lease liabilities that
were previously treated as borrowings into lease liabilities.
Prepayments also reduced by EUR0.3 million and accruals by EUR0.4
million. The net impact on retained earnings on 1 January 2019 of
the adoption of IFRS 16 was EURnil.
The following reconciliation of the opening balance for lease
liabilities as at 1 January 2019 is based on the operating lease
commitments at 31 December 2018. The weighted average incremental
borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019
was 6.6%.
The range of incremental borrowing rates applied to lease
liabilities in the year by region was:
2019
Range
---------------- ------------
Europe & Africa 3.4% - 23.2%
North America 4.9% - 12.6%
Asia Pacific 5.3% - 13.4%
Latin America 8.7% - 18.2%
---------------- ------------
The Group believes that any reasonably possible change in the
weighted average incremental borrowing rate would not cause the
carrying value of lease liabilities or the lease interest payable
charged to the income statement to be materially different.
A reconciliation of the operating lease commitments disclosed as
at 31 December 2018 and the lease liabilities and right-of-use
assets recognised at 1 January 2019 is disclosed below:

9.3. Leasing Activities
The Group as Lessee
The Group leases various manufacturing facilities, offices,
plant & machinery and cars. Rental contracts are typically made
for fixed initial periods of 1 to 10 years for manufacturing
facilities and offices and 2 to 5 years for plant & machinery
and cars. Many agreements also have extension options, as described
below, and contain a range of terms and conditions. The lease
agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not
be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Extension options (or periods after termination options) are
only included for valuation purposes in the lease term if the lease
is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). Potential
future cash outflows of EUR51.7 million have not been included in
the lease liability because it is not reasonably certain that the
leases will be extended (or not terminated).

the simplified transition approach, under which the comparatives
for the 2018 reporting period are not restated see Note 2 and Note
9. As part of the adoption, finance lease liabilities at 1 January
2019 of EUR2.0 million have been reclassified from borrowings to
lease liabilities.

Term loan
The principal outstanding of the US term loan in US dollars at
31 December 2019 is $834.2 million (2018: $890.7 million). On 11
March 2019 the Group made a voluntary repayment of $56.5 million
(EUR50.0 million) against the US dollar tranche of the loan.
The interest rate payable on the US term loan is US$ LIBOR
(minimum 0.75% p.a.) +2.5% p.a., and on the Euro term loan is
EURIBOR (minimum 0.75% p.a.) +2.75% p.a. No capital payments are
due on the US dollar tranche until the balance falls due on 30 June
2022. The Euro tranche is repayable in amounts of EUR1.1 million
per quarter, with the balance also falling due on 30 June 2022.
On 6 October 2015, the Group entered into hedging transactions
with a number of financial institutions which effectively converted
borrowings of $400.0 million at floating interest rates into
EUR355.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 4.2%, thereby reducing
foreign currency exposure for future cash flows and locking in
lower long-term Euro fixed interest rates (Note 3.3.2).
Asset-backed loan, and a revolving credit facility
The asset-backed loan ('ABL') provides up to $100.0 million
depending upon the level of inventories and trade receivables in
the Group's US and Canadian businesses. The facility is also
available to be used to issue letters of credit on behalf of TI
Group Automotive Systems LLC, a subsidiary undertaking. Drawings
under the facility bear interest at US$ LIBOR +1.50% p.a. unless
the drawings are below $50.0 million when the rate is US$ LIBOR
+1.25% p.a. The revolving credit agreement provides a facility of
up to $125.0 million. Drawings under this facility bear interest in
a range of US$ LIBOR +3.0% to US$ LIBOR + 3.5% p.a. depending on
the Group's leverage ratios.
Maturities of the revolving credit facility and asset-backed
loan are due to expire on 16 July 2023.

Issuance discounts and fees
Initial issuance discounts and fees from the 2015 agreements,
brought forward at 1 January 2018 were EUR64.9 million. Following
the Group's repayment and modification of its external borrowings
in the prior year, a further EUR2.2 million of directly
attributable incremental fees were capitalised in 2018 and an
additional EUR0.3 million of fees were capitalised in 2019 bringing
the total fees capitalised to EUR67.4 million at 31 December
2019.
All capitalised fees are expensed using the effective interest
rate method over the remaining terms of the facilities.
As a result of the Group extinguishing it's remaining unsecured
senior notes in July 2018, unamortised transaction costs of $4.2
million (EUR3.6 million) were released and recognised as
exceptional finance expenses in the prior year (see Note 5).
10.5. Other Secured Loans
A subsidiary in Spain has granted security over certain of its
assets in return for credit facilities from its banks. The loan has
total amortisation repayments of EUR54,000 per annum payable
quarterly (2018: EUR54,000).
10.6. Finance Leases
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019. As part of
the adoption, finance lease liabilities at 1 January 2019 of EUR2.0
million have been reclassified from borrowings to lease
liabilities.
