LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Note:

The Company was incorporated on February 5, 1996 under the name of “Lear Seating Private Limited” at Karnataka and shifted its Registered Office to Delhi on January 29,1998.

Further, the name of the subject company has been changed to “Lear Automotive India Private Limited” with effect from December 21, 2005 as per registry records vide letter No. ROC/Approval/21/55-92000/1130 dated December 21, 2005.

 

Group Company :

 

Lear Corporation, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, USA, focuses on integrating complete automotive interiors, including seat systems, interior trim and electrical systems. With annual net sales of $17 billion in 2004, Lear is one of the world's leading automotive interior systems suppliers. The company's world-class products are designed, engineered and manufactured by more than 110,000 employees located in 34 countries.

 

Lear is ranked No. 127 on the 2005 Fortune 500 list of publicly traded U.S. companies and has also been named the Most Admired Company in the Motor Vehicle Parts sector by Fortune for the past three consecutive years. The company's stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LEA.

 

Simply stated, its strategy is to put their ers first and to continuously improve their quality and overall financial results. This section provides additional information on their leadership team, global business operations, career opportunities, company policies as well as a sample of their Advance Relentlessly® corporate advertising.

 

The company was founded in 1917 in Detroit as American Metal Products, a manufacturer of tubular, welded and stamped assemblies for the automotive and aircraft industries. Lear has grown to meet the changing needs of the industry with 18 major acquisitions since 1994. Today, the company exclusively serves the global automotive industry and supplies product for all five major interior systems: seat, instrument panel/cockpit, door and trim, overhead and flooring and acoustics.

 

Lear is also one of the leading global automotive suppliers in electronic and electrical products.

 

 

Financials 2004

 

2004 Full Year Results

 

For the full year 2004, Lear reported record sales of $17.0 billion and net income of $422.2 million, or $5.77 per share, including a $0.20 income tax benefit primarily related to the settlement of prior years’ tax matters. These results compare with full year 2003 net sales of $15.7 billion and net income of $380.5 million, or $5.31 per share.

The increase in net sales compared to 2003 reflects the addition of new business globally and the benefit of currency exchange, partially offset by unfavorable vehicle platform mix in their major markets. The improvement in net income per share reflects the impact of higher sales and operating efficiencies, as well as lower interest expense and income taxes, offset in part by less favorable vehicle platform mix and the impact of higher raw material prices.

Free cash flow in 2004 was $317.3 million. (Net cash provided by operating activities was $675.9 million. A reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is provided in the attached supplemental data page.)

In the latest J.D. Power Seat Quality Survey, Lear continues to rank as the highest quality manufacturer serving multiple customers. “I am pleased that they continued to maintain high quality and customer service levels and profitably grew their business in 2004,” Rossiter added. “Their record sales, driven by their strengthening backlog, demonstrate that their strategy to put their customers first is working.”

Earlier this month, Lear increased its three-year sales backlog to $3.8 billion to reflect new business awards globally and announced a 25% increase in its quarterly cash dividend. (Information on the calculation of sales backlog is provided in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this news release.)

Financial Outlook 2005

 

2005 Outlook

 

For the first quarter of 2005, Lear expects net sales to be in the range of $4.3 to $4.5 billion, compared with $4.5 billion for the first quarter of 2004, primarily reflecting a less favorable industry production environment, offset in part by the addition of new business globally. Net income is expected to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.70 per share, compared with $1.24 for the first quarter of 2004. The decline in net income per share from a year ago primarily reflects the impact of higher raw material prices, as well as the less favorable production environment.

 

For the full year, the industry production planning assumptions are 15.7 to 16.0 million units for North America and 18.3 to 18.6 million units for Europe. Net sales are expected to be $17.6 to $18.0 billion, compared with $17.0 billion for 2004. This increase primarily reflects the addition of new business globally. Net income is expected to be in the range of $5.00 to $6.00 per share.

 

Full year capital spending is estimated to be in the range of $425 to $475 million, and free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $250 million, which includes the one-time adverse impact of changes in customer payment terms. (Information regarding anticipated financial results is provided in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this news release.)
