CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning, among other things, our prospects and business strategies. These forward-looking statements are included in various sections of this report, including the section entitled “Outlook” appearing in Item 2 of this report. The words “may,” “will,” “believe,” “should,” “could,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and similar expressions (and variations thereof), identify these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these expectations may not prove to be correct. Because these forward-looking statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements include:
| |
• | general economic, business and market conditions; |
| |
• | our ability to source and procure needed materials, components and other products and services in accordance with customer demand and at competitive prices; |
| |
• | the cost and outcome of existing and any future claims, legal proceedings or investigations, including, but not limited to, any of the foregoing arising in connection with the ongoing global antitrust investigation, product performance, product safety or intellectual property rights; |
| |
• | changes in capital availability or costs, including increases in our cost of borrowing (i.e., interest rate increases), the amount of our debt, our ability to access capital markets at favorable rates, and the credit ratings of our debt; |
| |
• | changes in consumer demand, prices and our ability to have our products included on top selling vehicles, including any shifts in consumer preferences away from light trucks, which tend to be higher margin products for our customers and us, to other lower margin vehicles, for which we may or may not have supply arrangements; |
| |
• | changes in consumer demand for our automotive, commercial or aftermarket products, or changes in automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers’ production rates and their actual and forecasted requirements for our products, due to difficult economic conditions, such as the prolonged recession in Europe; |
| |
• | the overall highly competitive nature of the automobile and commercial vehicle parts industries, and any resultant inability to realize the sales represented by our awarded book of business (which is based on anticipated pricing and volumes over the life of the applicable program); |
| |
• | the loss of any of our large original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers (on whom we depend for a substantial portion of our revenues), or the loss of market shares by these customers if we are unable to achieve increased sales to other OEMs or any change in customer demand due to delays in the adoption or enforcement of worldwide emissions regulations; |
| |
• | our ability to successfully execute cash management and other cost reduction plans, including our European cost reduction initiatives, and to realize anticipated benefits from these plans; |
| |
• | economic, exchange rate and political conditions in the countries where we operate or sell our products; |
| |
• | industrywide strikes, labor disruptions at our facilities or any labor or other economic disruptions at any of our significant customers or suppliers or any of our customers’ other suppliers; |
| |
• | increases in the costs of raw materials, including our ability to successfully reduce the impact of any such cost increases through materials substitutions, cost reduction initiatives, customer recovery and other methods; |
| |
• | the negative impact of fuel price volatility on transportation and logistics costs, raw material costs, discretionary purchases of vehicles or aftermarket products and demand for off-highway equipment; |
| |
• | the cyclical nature of the global vehicle industry, including the performance of the global aftermarket sector and the impact of vehicle parts’ longer product lives; |
| |
• | costs related to product warranties and other customer satisfaction actions; |
| |
• | the failure or breach of our information technology systems, including the consequences of any misappropriation, exposure or corruption of sensitive information stored on such systems and the interruption to our business that such failure or breach may cause; |
| |
• | the impact of consolidation among vehicle parts suppliers and customers on our ability to compete; |
| |
• | changes in distribution channels or competitive conditions in the markets and countries where we operate, including the impact of changes in distribution channels for aftermarket products on our ability to increase or maintain aftermarket sales; |
| |
• | customer acceptance of new products; |
| |
• | new technologies that reduce the demand for certain of our products or otherwise render them obsolete; |
| |
• | our ability to introduce new products and technologies that satisfy customers' needs in a timely fashion; |
| |
• | our ability to realize our business strategy of improving operating performance; |
| |
• | our ability to successfully integrate any acquisitions that we complete and effectively manage our joint ventures and other third-party relationships; |
| |
• | changes by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles or policies; |
| |
• | changes in accounting estimates and assumptions, including changes based on additional information; |
| |
• | any changes by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or other such committees in their certification protocols for processes and products, which may have the effect of delaying or hindering our ability to bring new products to market; |
| |
• | the impact of the extensive, increasing and changing laws and regulations to which we are subject, including environmental laws and regulations, which may result in our incurrence of environmental liabilities in excess of the amount reserved; |
| |
• | the potential impairment in the carrying value of our long-lived assets and goodwill or our deferred tax assets; |
| |
• | potential volatility in our effective tax rate; |
| |
• | natural disasters, such as the 2011 earthquake in Japan and flooding in Thailand, and any resultant disruptions in the supply or production of goods or services to us or by us or in demand by our customers; |
| |
• | acts of war and/or terrorism, as well as actions taken or to be taken by the United States and other governments as a result of further acts or threats of terrorism, and the impact of these acts on economic, financial and social conditions in the countries where we operate; and |
| |
• | the timing and occurrence (or non-occurrence) of other transactions, events and circumstances which may be beyond our control. |
The risks included here are not exhaustive. Refer to “Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and "Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding our exposure to risks. Additionally, new risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact such risk factors might have on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
PART I.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tenneco Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Tenneco Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and changes in shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 25, 2015, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. As discussed in notes 3 and 11 to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for the presentation of debt issuance costs for the first quarter of 2015. The accompanying December 31, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects this change.

(1) | Consolidation and Presentation |
As you read the accompanying financial statements you should also read our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly Tenneco Inc.’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ equity for the periods indicated. We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for annual financial statements.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries. We carry investments in 20 percent to 50 percent owned companies in which the Company does not have a controlling interest, as equity method investments, at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings since the date of acquisition and cumulative translation adjustments. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions.
The net carrying and estimated fair values of our financial instruments by class at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2015 | | December 31, 2014 |

|
Asset and Liability Instruments — The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term receivables, accounts payable, and short-term debt was considered to be the same as or was not determined to be materially different from the carrying amount.
Long-term Debt — The fair value of our public fixed rate senior notes is based on quoted market prices (level 1). The fair value of our private borrowings under our senior credit facility and other long-term debt instruments is based on the market value of debt with similar maturities, interest rates and risk characteristics (level 2). The fair value of our level 1 debt, as classified in the fair value hierarchy, was $754 million and $759 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We have classified $360 million and $301 million as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, since we use valuation inputs that are observable both directly and indirectly. We classified the remaining $32 million and $46 million, consisting of foreign subsidiary debt, as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
The fair value hierarchy definition prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:
|
| | |
Level 1 | — | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| | |
Level 2 | — | Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. |
| | |
Level 3 | — | Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. |
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts — We use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency forward purchase and sales contracts with terms of less than one year, to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary exposure to changes in foreign currency rates results from intercompany loans made between affiliates to minimize the need for borrowings from third parties. Additionally, we enter into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. We manage counter-party credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with major financial institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(Unaudited)
for speculative purposes. The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts is based on an internally developed model which incorporates observable inputs including quoted spot rates, forward exchange rates and discounted future expected cash flows utilizing market interest rates with similar quality and maturity characteristics. We record the change in fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts as part of currency gains (losses) within cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts are recorded in prepayments and other current assets or other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts was a net liability position of less than $1 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
The following table summarizes by major currency the notional amounts for foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts as of June 30, 2015 (all of which mature in 2015):

Guarantees —We have from time to time issued guarantees for the performance of obligations by some of our subsidiaries, and some of our subsidiaries have guaranteed our debt. All of our existing and future material domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee our senior credit facility and our senior notes on a joint and several basis. The arrangement for the senior credit facility is also secured by first-priority liens on substantially all our domestic assets and pledges of up to 66 percent of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries. No assets or capital stock secure our senior notes. For additional information, refer to Note 13 of our condensed consolidated financial statements, where we present the Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements.
We have two performance guarantee agreements in the U.K. between Tenneco Management Europe Limited (“TMEL”) and the two Walker Group Retirement Plans, the Walker Group Employee Benefit Plan and the Walker Group Executive Retirement Benefit Plan (the “Walker Plans”), whereby TMEL will guarantee the payment of all current and future pension contributions in the event of a payment default by the sponsoring or participating employers of the Walker Plans. The Walker Plans are comprised of employees from Tenneco Walker (U.K.) Limited and our Futaba-Tenneco U.K. joint venture. Employer contributions are funded by both Tenneco Walker (U.K.) Limited, as the sponsoring employer and Futaba-Tenneco U.K., as a participating employer. The performance guarantee agreements are expected to remain in effect until all pension obligations for the Walker Plans’ sponsoring and participating employers have been satisfied. The maximum amount payable for these pension performance guarantees that is not attributable to Tenneco is approximately $7 million as of June 30, 2015 which is determined by taking 105 percent of the liability of the Walker Plans calculated under section 179 of the U.K. Pension Act of 2004 offset by plan assets multiply by ownership percent attributable to Futaba-Tenneco U.K. We did not record an additional liability for this performance guarantee since Tenneco Walker (U.K.) Limited, as the sponsoring employer of the Walker Plans, already recognizes 100 percent of the pension obligation calculated based on U.S. GAAP, for all of the Walker Plans’ participating employers on its balance sheet, which was $15 million and $17 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015, all pension contributions under the Walker Plans were current for all of the Walker Plans’ sponsoring and participating employers.
In June 2011, we entered into an indemnity agreement between TMEL and Futaba Industrial Co. Ltd. which requires Futaba to indemnify TMEL for any cost, loss or liability which TMEL may incur under the performance guarantee agreements relating to the Futaba-Tenneco U.K. joint venture. The maximum amount reimbursable by Futaba to TMEL under this indemnity agreement is equal to the amount incurred by TMEL under the performance guarantee agreements multiplied by
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Futaba’s shareholder ownership percentage of the Futaba-Tenneco U.K. joint venture. At June 30, 2015, the maximum amount reimbursable by Futaba to TMEL is approximately $7 million.
We have issued letters of credit in connection with some obligations of our affiliates. As of June 30, 2015, we have issued $38 million in letters of credit to support some of our subsidiaries’ insurance arrangements, foreign employee benefit programs, environmental remediation activities and cash management and capital requirements.
Financial Instruments — One of our European subsidiaries receives payment from one of its customers whereby the accounts receivable are satisfied through the early delivery of financial instruments. We may collect these financial instruments before their maturity date by either selling them at a discount or using them to satisfy accounts receivable that have previously been sold to a European bank. Any of these financial instruments which are not sold are classified as other current assets. The amount of these financial instruments that was collected before their maturity date and sold at a discount totaled $1 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. No such financial instruments were held by our European subsidiary as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
In certain instances, several of our Chinese subsidiaries receive payments from customers through the receipt of financial instruments on the date the customer payments are due. Several of our Chinese subsidiaries also satisfy vendor payments through the delivery of financial instruments on the date the payments are due. Financial instruments issued to satisfy vendor payables and not redeemed totaled $32 million and $24 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and were classified as notes payable. Financial instruments received from OE customers and not redeemed totaled $19 million and $17 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We classify financial instruments received from our customers as other current assets if issued by a financial institution of our customers or as customer notes and accounts, net if issued by our customer. We classified $19 million and $17 million in other current assets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
The financial instruments received by one of our European subsidiaries and some of our Chinese subsidiaries are drafts drawn that are payable at a future date and, in some cases, are negotiable and/or are guaranteed by banks of the customers. The use of these instruments for payment follows local commercial practice. Because certain of such financial instruments are guaranteed by our customers’ banks, we believe they represent a lower financial risk than the outstanding accounts receivable that they satisfy which are not guaranteed by a bank.
Supply Chain Financing — Near the end of the second quarter of 2013 certain of our suppliers in the U.S. extended their payment terms to Tenneco. The liquidity benefit to Tenneco from the extended payment terms totaled $12 million at June 30, 2015. These suppliers also began participating in a supply chain financing program under which they securitize their accounts receivables from Tenneco with two financial institutions. The financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing program on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables from Tenneco's suppliers at any time. If the financial institutions did not continue to purchase receivables from Tenneco's suppliers under this program, the participating vendors could reduce their payment terms to Tenneco which in turn would cause our borrowings under our revolving credit facility to increase.
Restricted Cash - Some of our Chinese subsidiaries that issue their own financial instruments to pay vendors are required to maintain a cash balance if they exceed credit limits with the financial institution that guarantees the financial instruments. A restricted cash balance was required at those Chinese subsidiaries at June 30, 2015 for $2 million and was not required at December 31, 2014.

(3) | Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements |
Our financing arrangements are primarily provided by a committed senior secured financing arrangement with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions. The arrangement is secured by substantially all our domestic assets and pledges of up to 66 percent of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as guarantees by our material domestic subsidiaries.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We adopted this standard for the first quarter of 2015 and applied retrospectively. The balance for unamortized debt issuance costs was $13 million and $14 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
On December 8, 2014, we completed an amendment and restatement of our senior credit facility by increasing the amount and extending the maturity dates of our revolving credit facility and our Tranche A Term Facility. As of June 30, 2015,
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(Unaudited)
the senior credit facility provides us with a total revolving credit facility size of $1,200 million and had a $293 million balance outstanding under the Tranche A Term Facility, both of which will mature on December 8, 2019. Net carrying amount for the balance outstanding under the Tranche A Term Facility including a $2 million debt issuance cost was $291 million as of June 30, 2015. Funds may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed under the revolving credit facility without premium or penalty (subject to any customary LIBOR breakage fees). The revolving credit facility is reflected as debt on our balance sheet only if we borrow money under this facility or if we use the facility to make payments for letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit reduce our availability to borrow revolving loans under the facility. We are required to make quarterly principal payments under the Tranche A Term Facility of $3.75 million through December 31, 2016, $5.625 million beginning March 31, 2017 through December 31, 2017, $7.5 million beginning March 31, 2018 through September 30, 2019 and a final payment of $195 million is due on December 8, 2019. We have excluded the required payments, within the next twelve months, under the Tranche A Term Facility totaling $15 million from current liabilities as of June 30, 2015, because we have the intent and ability to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis by using our revolving credit facility.
The financial ratios required under the amended and restated senior credit facility, and the actual ratios we achieved for the two quarters of 2015, are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Quarter Ended |
| June 30, 2015 | | March 31, 2015 |
| Required |
| Actual | | Required |
| Actual |
Leverage Ratio (maximum) | 3.50 |
|
| 1.36 |
| | 3.50 |
|
| 1.41 |
|
Interest Coverage Ratio (minimum) | 2.75 |
|
| 12.43 |
| | 2.75 |
|
| 11.95 |
|
The senior credit facility includes a maximum leverage ratio covenant of 3.50 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.75, in each case through December 8, 2019.
At June 30, 2015, of the $1,200 million available under the revolving credit facility, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,099 million with $67 million in outstanding borrowings and $34 million in outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2015, our outstanding debt also included (i) $293 million of a term loan which consisted of a $291 million net carrying amount including a $2 million debt issuance cost related to our Tranche A Term Facility which is subject to quarterly principal payments as described above through December 8, 2019, (ii) $225 million of notes which consisted of a $221 million net carrying amount including a $4 million debt issuance cost of 53/8 percent senior notes due December 15, 2024, (iii) $500 million of notes which consisted of a $493 million net carrying amount including a $7 million debt issuance cost of 67/8 percent senior notes due December 15, 2020, and (iv) $158 million of other debt.
For interim tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income. Jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter due to the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. The tax effects of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
We reported income tax expense of $47 million and $46 million in the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2015 included a net tax expense of $2 million primarily relating to prior year intercompany transactions and tax adjustments to prior year income tax estimates.
We reported income tax expense of $88 million and $86 million in the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The tax expense recorded in the first six months of 2015 included $3 million primarily relating to prior year intercompany transactions and tax adjustments to prior year income tax estimates. The tax expense recorded in the first six months of 2014 included a net tax benefit of $1 million for tax adjustments primarily relating to changes to uncertain tax positions and prior year income tax estimates.
We believe it is reasonably possible that up to $6 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of foreign statute of limitations and the conclusion of income tax examinations may be recognized within the coming year.

(5) | Accounts Receivable Securitization |
We securitize some of our accounts receivable on a limited recourse basis in North America and Europe. As servicer under these accounts receivable securitization programs, we are responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions for these securitized financial assets including collections and processing of customer invoice adjustments. In North America, we have an accounts receivable securitization program with three commercial banks comprised of a first priority facility and a second priority facility. We securitize original equipment and aftermarket receivables on a daily basis under the bank program. In March 2015, the North American program was amended and extended to April 30, 2017. The first priority facility provides financing of up to $130 million and the second priority facility, which is subordinated to the first priority facility, provides up to an additional $50 million of financing. Both facilities monetize accounts receivable generated in the U.S. and Canada that meet certain eligibility requirements, and the second priority facility also monetizes certain accounts receivable generated in the U.S. and Canada that would otherwise be ineligible under the first priority securitization facility. The amount of outstanding third-party investments in our securitized accounts receivable under the North American program was $50 million at June 30, 2015 and zero at December 31, 2014.
Each facility contains customary covenants for financings of this type, including restrictions related to liens, payments, mergers or consolidations and amendments to the agreements underlying the receivables pool. Further, each facility may be terminated upon the occurrence of customary events (with customary grace periods, if applicable), including breaches of covenants, failure to maintain certain financial ratios, inaccuracies of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain changes in the rate of default or delinquency of the receivables, a change of control and the entry or other enforcement of material judgments. In addition, each facility contains cross-default provisions, where the facility could be terminated in the event of non-payment of other material indebtedness when due and any other event which permits the acceleration of the maturity of material indebtedness.
We also securitize receivables in our European operations with regional banks in Europe. The arrangements to securitize receivables in Europe are provided under six separate facilities provided by various financial institutions in each of the foreign jurisdictions. The commitments for these arrangements are generally for one year, but some may be canceled with notice 90 days prior to renewal. In some instances, the arrangement provides for cancellation by the applicable financial institution at any time upon notification. The amount of outstanding third-party investments in our securitized accounts receivable in Europe was $187 million and $153 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
If we were not able to securitize receivables under either the North American or European securitization programs, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase. These accounts receivable securitization programs provide us with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing, and allow us to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.
In our North American accounts receivable securitization programs, we transfer a partial interest in a pool of receivables and the interest that we retain is subordinate to the transferred interest. Accordingly, we account for our North American securitization program as a secured borrowing. In our European programs, we transfer accounts receivables in their entirety to the acquiring entities and satisfy all of the conditions established under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” to report the transfer of financial assets in their entirety as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under our European securitization programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. We recognized less than $1 million interest expense in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $1 million in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, relating to our North American securitization program. In addition, we recognized a loss of $1 million in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $2 million in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, on the sale of trade accounts receivable in our European accounts receivable securitization programs, representing the discount from book values at which these receivables were sold to our banks. The discount rate varies based on funding costs incurred by our banks, which averaged approximately two percent during both the first half of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(6) | Restructuring and Other Charges |
Over the past several years, we have adopted plans to restructure portions of our operations. These plans were approved by our Board of Directors and were designed to reduce operational and administrative overhead costs throughout the business. For the full year 2014, we incurred $49 million in restructuring and related costs including non-cash charges of $5 million, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts, headcount reductions in Australia and South America, the sale of a closed facility in Cozad, Nebraska and costs related to organizational changes, of which $28 million was recorded in cost of sales, $9 million in SG&A, $7 million in engineering expense, $4 million in other expense and $1 million in depreciation and amortization. In the second quarter of 2015, we incurred $7 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts and headcount reductions in South America, of which $6 million was recorded in cost of sales

and $1 million in SG&A. In the second quarter of 2014, we incurred $10 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts and headcount reductions in Australia and South America, of which $5 million was recorded in cost of sales, $3 million in SG&A, $1 million in engineering expense and $1 million in other expense. In the first six months of 2015, we incurred $12 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts, headcount reductions in South America and the closure of a JIT plant in Australia, of which $10 million was recorded in cost of sales, $2 million in SG&A. In the first six months of 2014, we incurred $20 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts including non-cash asset write downs of $1 million and headcount reductions in Australia and South America, of which $15 million was recorded in cost of sales, $3 million in SG&A, $1 million was recorded in engineering expense and $1 million was recorded in other expense.
Amounts related to activities that are part of our restructuring reserves are as follows:

On January 31, 2013, we announced our intent to reduce structural costs in Europe by approximately $60 million annually. We still expect to reach our target annual savings rate in 2016, however the recent dramatic changes in exchange rates will likely have an impact on the actual savings achieved when translated from Euros into U.S. dollars. In the second quarter of 2015, we incurred $7 million in restructuring and related costs, of which $3 million was related to this initiative. In the first six months of 2015, we incurred $12 million in restructuring and related costs, of which $7 million was related to this initiative. While we are nearing the completion of this initiative, we expect to incur additional restructuring and related costs in 2015 and 2016 due to certain ongoing matters. For example, we closed a plant in Gijon Spain in 2013, but subsequently re-opened it in July 2014 with about half of its prior workforce after the employees' works council successfully filed suit challenging the closure decision. Pursuant to an agreement we entered into with employee representatives, we are currently engaged in a sales process for the facility and intend to continue operating it until a complete transfer of ownership takes place in 2016.
Under the terms of our amended and restated senior credit agreement that took effect on December 8, 2014, we are allowed to exclude up to $150 million in the aggregate of all costs, expenses, fees, fines, penalties, judgments, legal settlements and other amounts associated with any restructuring, litigation, claim, proceeding or investigation related to or undertaken by us or any of our subsidiaries, together with any related provision for taxes, incurred after December 8, 2014 in the calculation of the financial covenant ratios required under our senior credit facility. As of June 30, 2015, we had excluded $12 million of allowable charges relating to restructuring initiatives against the $150 million available under the terms of the senior credit facility.
Subsequent Event
On July 22, 2015, we announced our intention to discontinue our Marzocchi motor bike fork suspension business and our mountain bike business, and liquidate our Marzocchi operations. These actions are subject to a consultation process with the employee representatives and in total would eliminate approximately 138 jobs. We currently employ 127 people at the Marzocchi plant in Bologna, Italy and an additional 11 people in our operations in North America and Taiwan. We intend to assist our motor bike customers with the transition of current production to an alternative supplier and expect to complete the closure by the end of 2015. This intended action is a part of our ongoing efforts to optimize our Ride Performance business globally while continuously improving our operations and increasing profitability.
We expect to record charges of approximately $27 million related to these actions in the third quarter which includes approximately $17 million of cash expenditures. These charges consist of severance and other employee related costs, asset impairment charges and other expenses related to the closure. We anticipate improving financial results by approximately $7 million annually, beginning in 2016.

(7) | Environmental Matters, Legal Proceedings and Product Warranties |
We are involved in environmental remediation matters, legal proceedings, claims, investigations and warranty obligations. These matters are typically incidental to the conduct of our business and create the potential for contingent losses. We accrue for potential contingent losses when our review of available facts indicates that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Each quarter we assess our loss contingencies based upon currently available facts, existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations and taking into consideration the likely effects of
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(Unaudited)
inflation and other societal and economic factors and record adjustments to these reserves as required. As an example, we consider all available evidence, including prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experiences and data released by the United States Environmental Protection Agency or other organizations when we evaluate our environmental remediation contingencies. All of our loss contingency estimates are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new information. With respect to our environmental liabilities, where future cash flows are fixed or reliably determinable, we have discounted those liabilities. We evaluate recoveries separately from the liability and, when they are assured, recoveries are recorded and reported separately from the associated liability in our consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We expense or capitalize, as appropriate, expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations that relate to current operations. We expense costs related to an existing condition caused by past operations that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. As of June 30, 2015, we have the obligation to remediate or contribute towards the remediation of certain sites, including one Federal Superfund site. At June 30, 2015, our aggregated estimated share of environmental remediation costs for all these sites on a discounted basis was approximately $14 million, of which $2 million is recorded in other current liabilities and $12 million is recorded in deferred credits and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For those locations where the liability was discounted, the weighted average discount rate used was 2.2 percent. The undiscounted value of the estimated remediation costs was $17 million. Our expected payments of environmental remediation costs are estimated to be approximately $2 million in 2015, $1 million each year beginning 2016 through 2019 and $11 million in aggregate thereafter.
Based on information known to us, we have established reserves that we believe are adequate for these costs. Although we believe these estimates of remediation costs are reasonable and are based on the latest available information, the costs are estimates and are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent of remediation required. At some sites, we expect that other parties will contribute to the remediation costs. In addition, certain environmental statutes provide that our liability could be joint and several, meaning that we could be required to pay in excess of our share of remediation costs. Our understanding of the financial strength of other potentially responsible parties at these sites has been considered, where appropriate, in our determination of our estimated liability. We do not believe that any potential costs associated with our current status as a potentially responsible party in the Federal Superfund site, or as a liable party at the other locations referenced herein, will be material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Antitrust Investigations
On March 25, 2014, representatives of the European Commission were at Tenneco GmbH's Edenkoben, Germany administrative facility to gather information in connection with an ongoing global antitrust investigation concerning multiple automotive suppliers. On March 25, 2014, we also received a related subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”).
On November 5, 2014, the DOJ granted us conditional leniency pursuant to an agreement we entered into under the Antitrust Division’s Corporate Leniency Policy. This agreement provides us with important benefits in exchange for our self reporting of matters to the DOJ and our continuing full cooperation with the DOJ’s resulting investigation. For example, the DOJ will not bring any criminal antitrust prosecution against us, nor seek any criminal fines or penalties, in connection with the matters we reported to the DOJ. Additionally, there are limits on our liability related to any follow on civil antitrust litigation in the U.S. The limits include single rather than treble damages, as well as relief from joint and several antitrust liability with other relevant civil antitrust action defendants. These limits are subject to our satisfying the DOJ and any court presiding over such follow on civil litigation. We cannot provide any assurance as to when such actions will be filed in the future or how they will ultimately be resolved.
Certain other competition agencies are also investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by our company. We have cooperated and continue to cooperate fully with all of these antitrust investigations, and take other actions to minimize our potential exposure.
Antitrust law investigations and related matters often continue for several years and can result in significant penalties and liability. At this point, we cannot estimate the ultimate impact on our company from investigations into our antitrust compliance and related matters in light of the uncertainties and many variables involved, and there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including any civil litigation claims, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other Legal Proceedings, Claims and Investigations
We are also from time to time involved in other legal proceedings, claims or investigations. Some of these matters involve allegations of damages against us relating to environmental liabilities (including toxic tort, property damage and remediation), intellectual property matters (including patent, trademark and copyright infringement, and licensing disputes), personal injury claims (including injuries due to product failure, design or warning issues, and other product liability related matters), taxes, employment matters, and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. Additionally, some of these matters involve allegations relating to legal compliance. For example, one of our Argentine subsidiaries is currently defending against a criminal complaint alleging the failure to comply with laws requiring the proceeds of export transactions to be collected, reported and/or converted to local currency within specified time periods. As another example, in the U.S. we are subject to an audit in 11 states with respect to the payment of unclaimed property to those states, spanning a period as far back as over 30 years. While we vigorously defend ourselves against all of these legal proceedings, claims and investigations and take other actions to minimize our potential exposure, in future periods, we could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved on unfavorable terms. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, except as described above under "Antitrust Investigations," we do not expect the legal proceedings, claims or investigations currently pending against us will have any material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In addition, we are subject to lawsuits initiated by a significant number of claimants alleging health problems as a result of exposure to asbestos. In the early 2000's we were named in nearly 20,000 complaints, most of which were filed in Mississippi state court and the vast majority of which made no allegations of exposure to asbestos from our product categories. Most of these claims have been dismissed and our current docket of active and inactive cases is less than 500 cases nationwide. A small number of claims have been asserted against one of our subsidiaries by railroad workers alleging exposure to asbestos products in railroad cars. The substantial majority of the remaining claims are related to alleged exposure to asbestos in our automotive products although a significant number of those claims appear to involve workers in industries that are not automotive-related or otherwise do not include sufficient information to determine whether there is any basis for a claim against us. We believe, based on scientific and other evidence, it is unlikely that claimants were exposed to asbestos by our former products and that, in any event, they would not be at increased risk of asbestos-related disease based on their work with these products. Further, many of these cases involve numerous defendants, with the number in some cases exceeding 100 defendants from a variety of industries. Additionally, the plaintiffs either do not specify any, or specify the jurisdictional minimum, dollar amount for damages. As major asbestos manufacturers and/or users continue to go out of business or file for bankruptcy, we may experience an increased number of these claims. We vigorously defend ourselves against these claims as part of our ordinary course of business. In future periods, we could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved unfavorably to us. To date, with respect to claims that have proceeded sufficiently through the judicial process, we have regularly achieved favorable resolutions. Accordingly, we presently believe that these asbestos-related claims will not have a material adverse impact on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Warranty Matters
We provide warranties on some of our products. The warranty terms vary but range from one year up to limited lifetime warranties on some of our premium aftermarket products. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold or when specific warranty issues are identified on OE products. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. We actively study trends of our warranty claims and take action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. We believe that the warranty reserve is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. The reserve is included in both current and long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.
Below is a table that shows the activity in the warranty accrual accounts:

Equity Plans — We have granted a variety of awards, including common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), and stock options to our directors, officers, and employees.
Accounting Methods — We recorded compensation expense (net of taxes) of less than $1 million and $1 million in the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and $1 million and $3 million in compensation expense for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, related to nonqualified stock options as part of our selling, general and administrative expense. This resulted in a decrease of $0.01 in both basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and a decrease of $0.02 and $0.04 in both basic and diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
For employees eligible to retire at the grant date, we immediately expense stock options and restricted stock. If employees become eligible to retire during the vesting period, we immediately recognize any remaining expense associated with their stock options and restricted stock.
As of June 30, 2015, there was approximately $4 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to our stock option awards that we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 0.7 years.
Compensation expense for restricted stock, restricted stock units, long-term performance units and SARs (net of taxes) was $4 million and $5 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and $10 million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Cash received from stock option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $4 million and $1 million, respectively.
Stock options exercised in the first six months of 2015 and 2014 generated a tax benefit of $6 million and $3 million, respectively. We started to record this tax benefit in the third quarter of 2013 when we began utilizing our federal and state NOLs.

The fair value of restricted stock grants is usually equal to the average of the high and low trading price of our stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2015, approximately $18 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.7 years. The total fair value of restricted shares vested was $6 million and $7 million at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In January 2015, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing our company to repurchase up to $350 million of our outstanding common stock over a three-year period. This repurchase program does not obligate Tenneco to make repurchases at any specific time or situation and is part of our overall capital allocation strategy. We repurchased 748,000 shares through this program in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Repurchased shares held as part of our treasury stock were 3,992,692 and 3,244,692 shares at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Long-Term Performance Units, Restricted Stock Units and SARs — Long-term performance units, restricted stock units and SARs are paid in cash and recognized as a liability based upon their fair value. As of June 30, 2015, $26 million of total unrecognized compensation costs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we made pension contributions of less than $1 million and $7 million for our domestic and foreign pension plans, respectively. Based on current actuarial estimates, we believe we will be required to contribute approximately $19 million for the remainder of 2015. Pension contributions beyond 2015 will be required, but those amounts will vary based upon many factors including, for example, the performance of our pension fund investments during 2015.
We made postretirement contributions of approximately $5 million during the first six months of 2015. Based on current actuarial estimates, we believe we will be required to contribute approximately $4 million for the remainder of 2015.
The assets of some of our pension plans are invested in trusts that permit commingling of the assets of more than one employee benefit plan for investment and administrative purposes. Each of the plans participating in the trust has interests in the net assets of the underlying investment pools of the trusts. The investments for all our pension plans are recorded at estimated fair value, in compliance with the accounting guidance on fair value measurement.
Amounts recognized for pension and postretirement benefits in other comprehensive income for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include the following components:

(11) | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment on revenue recognition. The amendment in this update creates Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendment supersedes the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and creates new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has voted to approve a one-year deferral of the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption as of January 1, 2017 for public entities. We will adopt this amendment on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We adopted this standard for the first quarter of 2015 and applied retrospectively. Please refer to note 3 in our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements located in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

We are managed and organized along our two major product lines (clean air and ride performance) and three geographic areas (North America; Europe, South America and India; and Asia Pacific), resulting in six operating segments (North America Clean Air, North America Ride Performance, Europe, South America and India Clean Air, Europe, South America and India Ride Performance, Asia Pacific Clean Air and Asia Pacific Ride Performance). Within each geographical area, each operating segment manufactures and distributes either clean air or ride performance products primarily for the original equipment and aftermarket industries. Each of the six operating segments constitutes a reportable segment. Costs related to other business activities, primarily corporate headquarter functions, are disclosed separately from the six operating segments as "Other." We evaluate segment performance based primarily on earnings before interest expense, income taxes, and noncontrolling interests. Products are transferred between segments and geographic areas on a basis intended to reflect as nearly as possible the “market value” of the products.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As you read the following review of our financial condition and results of operations, you should also read our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page 6.
Executive Summary
We are one of the world's leading manufacturers of clean air and ride performance products and systems for light vehicle, commercial truck and off-highway applications. We serve both original equipment (OE) vehicle designers and manufacturers and the repair and replacement markets, or aftermarket, globally through leading brands, including Monroe®, Rancho®, Clevite® Elastomers, Marzocchi®, Axios™, Kinetic® and Fric-Rot™ ride performance products and Walker®, XNOx®, Fonos™, DynoMax®, and Thrush® clean air products. We serve more than 70 different original equipment manufacturers and commercial truck and off-highway engine manufacturers, and our products are included on nine of the top 10 car models produced for sale in Europe and eight of the top 10 light truck models produced for sale in North America for 2014. Our aftermarket customers are comprised of full-line and specialty warehouse distributors, retailers, jobbers, installer chains and car dealers. As of December 31, 2014, we operated 90 manufacturing facilities worldwide and employed approximately 29,000 people to service our customers' demands.
Factors that continue to be critical to our success include winning new business awards, managing our overall global manufacturing footprint to ensure proper placement and workforce levels in line with business needs, maintaining competitive wages and benefits, maximizing efficiencies in manufacturing processes and reducing overall costs. In addition, our ability to adapt to key industry trends, such as a shift in consumer preferences to other vehicles in response to higher fuel costs and other economic and social factors, increasing technologically sophisticated content, changing aftermarket distribution channels, increasing environmental standards and extended product life of automotive parts, also play a critical role in our success. Other factors that are critical to our success include adjusting to economic challenges such as increases in the cost of raw materials and our ability to successfully reduce the impact of any such cost increases through material substitutions, cost reduction initiatives and other methods.
For the second quarter of 2015, light vehicle production was up two percent in both North America and China, six percent in India and even in Europe compared to the second quarter of 2014. Light vehicle production was down 17 percent in South America and one percent in Australia in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to the second quarter of 2014.
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $2,130 million, down from $2,241 million in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of currency and substrate sales, revenue was up $48 million, or three percent, from $1,726 million to $1,774 million, driven primarily by stronger OE light vehicle volumes in Europe, South America and India, higher OE commercial truck, off-highway and other revenues in North America and Europe Ride Performance, increased aftermarket sales in North America in both product lines and in South America in our Ride Performance product line and new platforms in China, Japan and Europe OE Ride Performance. These factors were partially offset by lower OE light vehicle volumes in China and lower commercial truck revenues in China and South America.
Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization): Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2015 was $1,764 million, or 82.8 percent of sales, compared to $1,851 million, or 82.6 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2014. The following table lists the primary drivers behind the change in cost of sales ($ millions).

The decrease in cost of sales was due to the impact of currency exchange rates, lower net material costs and lower restructuring costs, partially offset by the year-over-year increase in volume and other costs, mainly manufacturing.
Gross margin: Revenue less cost of sales for the second quarter of 2015 was $366 million, or 17.2 percent, versus $390 million, or 17.4 percent, in the second quarter of 2014. The effect on gross margin resulting from lower net material costs and lower restructuring expenses was more than offset by unfavorable currency and higher other costs, mainly manufacturing.
Engineering, research and development: Engineering, research and development expense was $38 million and $42 million in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A): SG&A expense was down $18 million in the second quarter of 2015 at $121 million compared to $139 million in the second quarter of 2014 mainly due to favorable currency impact.
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense was $51 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $52 million in the second quarter of 2014.
Earnings before interest expense, taxes and noncontrolling interests (“EBIT”) was $155 million for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $1 million when compared to $156 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Higher OE light vehicle volumes in Europe, South America and India, higher OE commercial truck, off-highway and other revenue in North America and Europe Ride Performance, higher North and South American aftermarket sales, and new platforms in China, Japan and Europe OE Ride Performance, the benefit of our product cost leadership initiatives, lower restructuring costs and savings from previous restructuring activities were more than offset by lower OE light vehicle and commercial truck revenues in China, unfavorable mix and negative currency.
Total revenues for first six months of 2015 were $4,153 million, down from $4,335 million in the first six months of 2014. Excluding the impact of currency and substrate sales, revenue was up $121 million, or four percent, from $3,336 million to $3,457 million, driven primarily by stronger OE light vehicle volumes in Europe, South America, India and China, increased aftermarket sales in North America and South America, new platforms in China, Japan and Europe OE Ride Performance and higher OE commercial truck, off-highway and other revenue in North America and Europe, partially offset by lower commercial truck revenues in China and South America.
Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization): Cost of sales for the first half of 2015 was $3,450 million, or 83.1 percent of sales, compared to $3,605 million, or 83.2 percent of sales in the first half of 2014. The following table lists the primary drivers behind the change in cost of sales ($ millions).

Results from Operations
The tables below reflect our revenues for the three months and six months periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. We show the component of our OE revenue represented by substrate sales. While we generally have primary design, engineering and manufacturing responsibility for OE emission control systems, we do not manufacture substrates. Substrates are porous ceramic filters coated with a catalyst - typically, precious metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. These are supplied to us by Tier 2 suppliers generally as directed by our OE customers. We generally earn a small margin on these components of the system. As the need for more sophisticated emission control solutions increases to meet more stringent environmental regulations, and as we capture more diesel aftertreatment business, these substrate components have been increasing as a
percentage of our revenue. While these substrates dilute our gross margin percentage, they are a necessary component of an emission control system.
Our value-add content in an emission control system includes designing the system to meet environmental regulations through integration of the substrates into the system, maximizing use of thermal energy to heat up the catalyst quickly, efficiently managing airflow to reduce back pressure as the exhaust stream moves past the catalyst, managing the expansion and contraction of the emission control system components due to temperature extremes experienced by an emission control system, using advanced acoustic engineering tools to design the desired exhaust sound, minimizing the opportunity for the fragile components of the substrate to be damaged when we integrate it into the emission control system and reducing unwanted noise, vibration and harshness transmitted through the emission control system.
We present these substrate sales separately in the following table because we believe investors utilize this information to understand the impact of this portion of our revenues on our overall business and because it removes the impact of potentially volatile precious metals pricing from our revenues. While our original equipment customers generally assume the risk of precious metals pricing volatility, it impacts our reported revenues. Presenting revenues that exclude “substrates” used in catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters removes this impact.
Additionally, we present these reconciliations of revenues in order to reflect value-add revenues without the effect of changes in foreign currency rates. We have not reflected any currency impact in the 2014 table since this is the base period for measuring the effects of currency during 2015 on our operations. We believe investors find this information useful in understanding period-to-period comparisons in our revenues.

Clean Air revenue was down $80 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014 with higher volumes in North America and Europe, South America and India and lower volumes in Asia Pacific. In North America,
higher aftermarket volumes were partially offset by lower light vehicle volumes, lower commercial truck and off-highway vehicle revenues and unfavorable mix, which accounted for $5 million of the year-over-year increase in revenues. Currency had a $2 million unfavorable impact on North American revenues. In the European, South American and Indian region, higher volumes drove a $59 million increase in revenues. Higher light vehicle volumes in the region was partially offset by lower commercial truck and off-highway vehicle revenue in South America and lower year-over-year aftermarket revenue in Europe. Currency had a $105 million unfavorable impact on European, South American and Indian revenues. The decrease in Asia Pacific revenues was primarily driven by lower volumes of $12 million, mostly due to lower light vehicle production and lower commercial truck revenues in China, partially offset by new programs in the China and Japan. Currency had a $3 million unfavorable impact on Asia Pacific revenues.
Ride Performance revenue was down $31 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014 with higher volumes in all regions. In North America, higher volumes of $4 million were driven by higher aftermarket sales and higher commercial truck and off-highway vehicle revenues, which were partially offset by lower volumes in light vehicle. Currency had a $7 million unfavorable impact on North American revenues. In the European, South American and India region, higher volumes of $27 million were driven by revenue increases in light vehicle, commercial truck and off-highway vehicle and aftermarket in the region and new platforms in Europe. Currency had a $57 million unfavorable impact on European, South American and Indian revenues. Asia Pacific revenues were driven by higher volumes of $4 million, mostly due to higher light vehicle production volumes in China, partially offset by lower volumes in Australia. Currency had a $2 million unfavorable impact on Asia Pacific revenues.

In the European, South American and Indian region, higher volumes of $41 million were driven by light vehicle increase in the region, higher commercial truck and off-highway vehicle revenues and new platforms in Europe and higher South American aftermarket sales. Currency had a $103 million unfavorable impact on European, South American and Indian revenues. In the Asia Pacific region, higher volumes of $12 million, mostly due to higher light vehicle production volumes in China, were partially offset by lower volumes in Australia.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Capitalized
We reported interest expense in the second quarter of 2015 of $17 million ($16 million in our U.S. operations and $1 million in our foreign operations) net of interest capitalized of $2 million, and $19 million (all in our U.S. operations) net of interest capitalized of $1 million in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was due to lower interest rates from the refinancing completed in December 2014 where we extended maturities, increased size of our senior secured credit facility and reduced the rates on both the credit facility and a senior unsecured note.
We reported interest expense in the fist half of 2015 of $33 million ($32 million in our U.S. operations and $1 million in our foreign operations) net of interest capitalized of $3 million, and $38 million (all in our U.S. operations) net of interest capitalized of $2 million in the first half of 2014. The decrease was due to the refinancing completed in December 2014.
On June 30, 2015, we had $759 million in long-term debt obligations that have fixed interest rates. Of that amount, $500 million is fixed through December 2020, $225 million is fixed through December 2024 and the remainder is fixed from 2015 through 2025. We also have $361 million in long-term debt obligations that are subject to variable interest rates. For more detailed explanations on our debt structure and senior credit facility refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization” later in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Income Taxes
We reported income tax expense of $47 million and $46 million in the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2015 included a net tax expense of $2 million primarily relating to prior year intercompany transactions and tax adjustments to prior year income tax estimates.
We reported income tax expense of $88 million and $86 million in the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The tax expense recorded in the first six months of 2015 included $3 million primarily relating to prior year intercompany transactions and tax adjustments to prior year income tax estimates. The tax expense recorded in the first six months of 2014 included $1 million for tax adjustments primarily relating to changes to uncertain tax positions and prior year income tax estimates.
We believe it is reasonably possible that up to $6 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of foreign statute of limitations and the conclusion of income tax examinations may be recognized within the coming year.
Restructuring and Other Charges
Over the past several years, we have adopted plans to restructure portions of our operations. These plans were approved by our Board of Directors and were designed to reduce operational and administrative overhead costs throughout the business. For the full year 2014, we incurred $49 million in restructuring and related costs including non-cash charges of $5 million, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts, headcount reductions in Australia and South America, the sale of a closed facility in Cozad, Nebraska and costs related to organizational changes, of which $28 million was recorded in cost of sales, $9 million in SG&A, $7 million in engineering expense, $4 million in other expense and $1 million in depreciation and amortization. In the second quarter of 2015, we incurred $7 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts and headcount reductions in South America, of which $6 million was recorded in cost of sales and $1 million in SG&A. In the second quarter of 2014, we incurred $10 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts and headcount reductions in Australia and South America, of which $5 million was recorded in cost of sales, $3 million in SG&A, $1 million in engineering expense and $1 million in other expense. In the first six months of 2015, we incurred $12 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts, headcount reductions in South America and the closure of a JIT plant in Australia, of which $10 million was recorded in cost of sales and $2 million in SG&A. In the first six months of 2014, we incurred $20 million in restructuring and related costs, primarily related to European cost reduction efforts including non-cash asset write downs of $1 million and headcount reductions in Australia and South America, of which $15 million was recorded in cost of sales, $3 million in SG&A, $1 million in engineering expense and $1 million in other expense.

|
On January 31, 2013, we announced our intent to reduce structural costs in Europe by approximately $60 million annually. We still expect to reach our target annual savings rate in 2016, however the recent dramatic changes in exchange rates will likely have an impact on the actual savings achieved when translated from Euros into U.S. dollars. In the second quarter of 2015, we incurred $7 million in restructuring and related costs, of which $3 million was related to this initiative. In the first six months of 2015, we incurred $12 million in restructuring and related costs, of which $7 million was related to this initiative. While we are nearing the completion of this initiative, we expect to incur additional restructuring and related costs in 2015 and 2016 due to certain ongoing matters. For example, we closed a plant in Gijon Spain in 2013, but subsequently re-opened it in July 2014 with about half of its prior workforce after the employees' works council successfully filed suit challenging the closure decision. Pursuant to an agreement we entered into with employee representatives, we are currently engaged in a sales process for the facility and intend to continue operating it until a complete transfer of ownership takes place in 2016.
Under the terms of our amended and restated senior credit agreement that took effect on December 8, 2014, we are allowed to exclude up to $150 million in the aggregate of all costs, expenses, fees, fines, penalties, judgments, legal settlements and other amounts associated with any restructuring, litigation, claim, proceeding or investigation related to or undertaken by us or any of our subsidiaries, together with any related provision for taxes, incurred after December 8, 2014 in the calculation of the financial covenant ratios required under our senior credit facility. As of June 30, 2015, we had excluded $12 million of allowable charges relating to restructuring initiatives against the $150 million available under the terms of the senior credit facility.
Subsequent Event
On July 22, 2015, we announced our intention to discontinue our Marzocchi motor bike fork suspension business and our mountain bike business, and liquidate our Marzocchi operations. These actions are subject to a consultation process with the employee representatives and in total would eliminate approximately 138 jobs. We currently employ 127 people at the Marzocchi plant in Bologna, Italy and an additional 11 people in our operations in North America and Taiwan. We intend to assist our motor bike customers with the transition of current production to an alternative supplier and expect to complete the closure by the end of 2015. This intended action is a part of our ongoing efforts to optimize our Ride Performance business globally while continuously improving our operations and increasing profitability.
We expect to record charges of approximately $27 million related to these actions in the third quarter which includes approximately $17 million of cash expenditures. These charges consist of severance and other employee related costs, asset impairment charges and other expenses related to the closure. We anticipate improving financial results by approximately $7 million annually, beginning in 2016.

In the second quarter of 2014, we received $4 million for selling 45 percent equity interest in Tenneco Fusheng (Chengdu) Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. to a third party partner.

Operating Activities
For the first six months of 2015, operating activities provided $82 million in cash compared to $26 million cash used during the first six months of last year. Compared to the prior year, the higher cash from operations was primarily driven by working capital improvements, lower interest payments and lower tax payments. For the first six months of 2015, cash used for working capital was $165 million versus $275 million of cash used for working capital in the first six months of 2014. Receivables were a use of cash of $220 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to a use of cash of $303 million in the first six months of prior year. Inventory represented a cash outflow of $46 million for the first six months of 2015 and a cash outflow of $104 million during the first six months of 2014. Accounts payable provided $63 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $160 million cash provided for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Cash taxes were $35
million for the first six months of 2015, net of a US tax refund of $25 million for overpayment in 2014, compared to $74 million in the first six months of prior year.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities was $155 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to cash used of $176 million in the same period a year ago. Cash payments for plant, property and equipment were $150 million in the first six months of 2015 versus payments of $167 million in the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $17 million. Cash payments for software-related intangible assets were $8 million and $9 million, respectively, for the first half of 2015 and 2014. Changes in restricted cash were a source of cash of $1 million in the first half of 2015, whereas there was no change in restricted cash in the first half of 2014.
Financing Activities
Cash flow from financing activities was an inflow of $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to an inflow of $189 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the first six months of 2015, we repurchased 748,000 shares of our outstanding common stock for $44 million at an average price of $58.59 per share as part of a previously announced stock buyback plan of up to $350 million. Taking into account our operating performance, we now anticipate completing the share repurchase program by the end of 2016. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility were $67 million at June 30, 2015 and $208 million at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2015, there was $50 million borrowed under the North American accounts receivable securitization programs, whereas there was no borrowing at June 30, 2014. In the first six months of 2014, we received $4 million for selling 45 percent equity interest in Tenneco Fusheng (Chengdu) Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. to a third party partner.
Outlook
In the third quarter, we expect growth will continue to be supported by well-established structural growth drivers:
| |
• | Increasing global light vehicle industry production; |
| |
• | Emissions regulations which require new content to meet more stringent requirements; |
| |
• | Increased demand for MONROE® Intelligent Suspension technologies; |
| |
• | The growing global car parc, which the company serves with industry-leading aftermarket brands. |
In the third quarter, global light vehicle industry production is expected to increase four percent in the regions where we operate. IHS forecasts higher production in North America (six percent), Europe (five percent), India (six percent) and China (four percent) and lower production expected in South America (down 14 percent). We are well-positioned to leverage higher light vehicle volumes with our strong platform position with leading global OEMs, including launching 43 new light vehicle and commercial truck and off-highway programs.
We also expect continued content growth on commercial truck and off-highway programs to meet global emissions requirements, despite ongoing production weakness in these markets.
Increased penetration of the MONROE® Intelligent Suspension system technology, including the recent launches on the Volvo XC-90 and Renault Espace, is expected to further support Ride Performance growth.
We also expect strong year-over-year sales growth from our global aftermarket business in the third quarter.
Excluding currency, we anticipate total revenue growth of about six percent in the third quarter. Based on current exchange rates, we anticipate a currency headwind in the third quarter of approximately seven percent.
Based on the most recent third party industry light vehicle production forecasts and further industry production weakness in our commercial truck and off-highway business, we expect total full-year revenue growth of five percent, excluding currency, within our original range.
In January 2015, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing our company to repurchase up to $350 million of our outstanding common stock over a three-year period. Based on our operating performance, current industry production forecasts and the anticipated requirements for capital expenditures and working capital to continue funding growth, we are accelerating our share repurchase program and expect to complete it by the end of 2016.
Tenneco's revenue projections are based on the type of information set forth under "Outlook" in Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as set forth in Tenneco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Please see that disclosure for further information. Additionally, revenue assumptions for the third quarter are based on current and projected customer projection schedules, as well as IHS Automotive July 2015 production forecasts.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The following paragraphs include a discussion of some critical areas where estimates are required.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue for sales to our original equipment and aftermarket customers when title and risk of loss passes to the customers under the terms of our arrangements with those customers, which is usually at the time of shipment from our plants or distribution centers. Generally, in connection with the sale of exhaust systems to certain original equipment manufacturers, we purchase catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters or components thereof including precious metals (“substrates”) on behalf of our customers which are used in the assembled system. These substrates are included in our inventory and “passed through” to the customer at our cost, plus a small margin, since we take title to the inventory and are responsible for both the delivery and quality of the finished product. Revenues recognized for substrate sales were $959 million and $999 million for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. For our aftermarket customers, we provide for promotional incentives and returns at the time of sale. Estimates are based upon the terms of the incentives and historical experience with returns. Certain taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue producing transactions, such as value added taxes, are excluded from revenue and recorded on a net basis. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues and the related costs are included in cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Warranty Reserves
Where we have offered product warranty, we also provide for warranty costs. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold or when specific warranty issues are identified on OE products. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims and upon specific warranty issues as they arise. The warranty terms vary but range from one year up to limited lifetime warranties on some of our premium aftermarket products. We actively study trends of our warranty claims and take action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. While we have not experienced any material differences between these estimates and our actual costs, it is reasonably possible that future warranty issues could arise that could have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Pre-production Design and Development and Tooling Assets
We expense pre-production design and development costs as incurred unless we have a contractual guarantee for reimbursement from the original equipment customer. Unbilled pre-production design and development costs recorded in prepayments and other and long-term receivables totaled $23 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. In addition, plant, property and equipment included $61 million and $59 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, for original equipment tools and dies that we own, and prepayments and other included $126 million and$98 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, for in-process tools and dies that we are building for our original equipment customers.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences that exist between the financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities and their respective tax values, and net operating losses ("NOL") and tax credit carryforwards on a taxing jurisdiction basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which we expect the temporary differences to be recovered or paid.
We evaluate our deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. U.S. GAAP requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a "more likely than not" standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and amount of recent losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.
Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets based on a “more likely than not” threshold. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each tax jurisdiction. We have considered the following possible sources of taxable income when assessing the realization of our deferred tax assets:
| |
• | Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; |
| |
• | Taxable income or loss, based on recent results, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; |
| |
• | Tax-planning strategies; and |
| |
• | Taxable income in prior carryback years if carryback is permitted under the relevant tax law. |
The valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions will impact our provision for income taxes until the valuation allowances are released. Our provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit for losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these jurisdictions until the respective valuation allowance is eliminated.
For interim tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income. Jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter due to the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. The tax effects of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
Goodwill, net
We evaluate goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events indicate it is warranted. The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process. In step one, we compare the estimated fair value of our reporting units with goodwill to the carrying value of the unit’s assets and liabilities to determine if impairment exists within the recorded balance of goodwill. We estimate the fair value of each reporting unit using the income approach which is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of market trends, forecasted revenues and expenses, capital expenditures, weighted average cost of capital and other variables. A separate discount rate derived by a combination of published sources, internal estimates and weighted based on our debt and equity structure, was used to calculate the discounted cash flows for each of our reporting units. These estimates are
based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and outside of the control of management. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist which requires step two to be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying value.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the estimated fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the carrying value of their assets and liabilities as of the testing date.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
We have various defined benefit pension plans that cover some of our employees. We also have postretirement health care and life insurance plans that cover some of our domestic employees. Our pension and postretirement health care and life insurance expenses and valuations are dependent on assumptions used by our actuaries in calculating those amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, health care cost trend rates, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. Health care cost trend rate assumptions are developed based on historical cost data and an assessment of likely long-term trends. Retirement rates are based primarily on actual plan experience while mortality rates are based upon the general population experience which is not expected to differ materially from our experience.
Our approach to establishing the discount rate assumption for both our domestic and foreign plans is generally based on the yield on high-quality corporate fixed-income investments. At the end of each year, the discount rate is determined using the results of bond yield curve models based on a portfolio of high quality bonds matching the notional cash inflows with the expected benefit payments for each significant benefit plan. Based on this approach, we lowered the weighted average discount rate for all our pension plans to 3.7 percent in 2015 from 4.6 percent in 2014. The discount rate for postretirement benefits was lowered to 4.1 percent in 2015 from 4.8 percent in 2014.
Our approach to determining expected return on plan asset assumptions evaluates both historical returns as well as estimates of future returns, and is adjusted for any expected changes in the long-term outlook for the equity and fixed income markets. As a result, our estimate of the weighted average long-term rate of return on plan assets for all of our pension plans was lowered to 6.7 percent for 2015 from 6.9 percent for 2014.
Except in the U.K., our pension plans generally do not require employee contributions. Our policy is to fund our pension plans in accordance with applicable U.S. and foreign government regulations and to make additional payments as funds are available to achieve full funding of the accumulated benefit obligation. As of June 30, 2015, all legal funding requirements have been met.

General. Short-term debt, which includes maturities classified as current, borrowings by foreign subsidiaries, and borrowings securitized by our North American accounts receivable securitization program, was $127 million and $60 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, which are classified as long-term debt, were $67 million and zero at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
The 2015 year-to-date increase in Tenneco Inc. shareholders' equity primarily resulted from net income attributable to Tenneco Inc. of $127 million, a $5 million increase related to pension and postretirement benefits and a $15 million increase in premium on common stock and other capital surplus relating to common stock issued pursuant to benefit plans, partially offset by a $50 million decrease caused by the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on the translation of financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars and a $44 million increase in treasury stock as a result of purchases of common stock under our share purchase program.
Overview. Our financing arrangements are primarily provided by a committed senior secured financing arrangement with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions. The arrangement is secured by substantially all our domestic assets and pledges of up to 66 percent of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as guarantees by our material domestic subsidiaries.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We adopted this standard for the first quarter of 2015 and applied retrospectively. The balance for unamortized debt issuance costs was $13 million and $14 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
On December 8, 2014, we completed an amendment and restatement of our senior credit facility by increasing the amounts and extending the maturity dates of our revolving credit facility and our Tranche A Term Facility. As of June 30, 2015, the senior credit facility provides us with a total revolving credit facility size of $1,200 million and had a $293 million balance outstanding under the Tranche A Term Facility, both of which will mature on December 8, 2019. Net carrying amount for the balance outstanding under the Tranche A Term Facility including a $2 million debt issuance cost was $291 million. Funds may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed under the revolving credit facility without premium or penalty (subject to any customary LIBOR breakage fees). The revolving credit facility is reflected as debt on our balance sheet only if we borrow money under this facility or if we use the facility to make payments for letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit reduce our availability to borrow revolving loans under the facility. We are required to make quarterly principal payments under the Tranche A Term Facility of $3.75 million through December 31, 2016, $5.625 million beginning March 31, 2017 through December 31, 2017, $7.5 million beginning March 31, 2018 through September 30, 2019 and a final payment of $195 million is due on December 8, 2019. We have excluded the required payments, within the next twelve months, under the Tranche A Term Facility totaling $15 million from current liabilities as of June 30, 2015, because we have the intent and ability to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis by using our revolving credit facility.
At June 30, 2015, of the $1,200 million available under the revolving credit facility, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,099 million with $67 million in outstanding borrowings and $34million in outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2015,
our outstanding debt also included (i) $293 million of term debt which consisted of a $291 million net carrying amount including a $2 million debt issuance cost related to our Tranche A Term Facility which is subject to quarterly principal payments as described above through December 8, 2019, (ii) $225 million of notes which consisted of a $221 million net carrying amount including a $4 million debt issuance cost of 53/8 percent senior notes due December 15, 2024, (iii) $500 million of notes which consisted of a $493 million net carrying amount including a $7 million debt issuance cost of 67/8 percent senior notes due December 15, 2020, and (iv) $158 million of other debt.
Senior Credit Facility — Interest Rates and Fees. Beginning December 8, 2014, our Tranche A Term Facility and revolving credit facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at our option, either (i) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 175 basis points, or (ii) a rate consisting of the greater of (a) the JPMorgan Chase prime rate plus a margin of 75 basis points, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points plus a margin of 75 basis points, and (c) one month LIBOR plus 100 basis points plus a margin of 75 basis points. The margin we pay on these borrowings will be increased by a total of 25 basis points above the original margin following each fiscal quarter for which our consolidated net leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 2.25 and less than 3.25, and will be increased by a total of 50 basis points above the original margin following each fiscal quarter for which our consolidated net leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 3.25. In addition, beginning after we deliver financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2015, the margin we pay on these borrowings will be reduced by a total of 25 basis points below the original margin if our consolidated net leverage ratio is less than 1.25. We also pay a commitment fee equal to 30 basis points that will be reduced to 25 basis points or increased to up to 40 basis points depending on consolidated net leverage ratio changes as set forth in the senior credit facility.
Senior Credit Facility — Other Terms and Conditions. Our senior credit facility requires that we maintain financial ratios equal to or better than the following consolidated net leverage ratio (consolidated indebtedness net of cash divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior credit facility agreement), and consolidated interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense, as defined in the senior credit facility agreement) at the end of each period indicated. Failure to maintain these ratios will result in a default under our senior credit facility. The financial ratios required under the amended and restated senior credit facility (or the predecessor facility, as applicable) and the actual ratios we achieved for the two quarters of 2015, are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | |
| June 30, 2015 | | March 31, 2015 |
| Required | | Actual | | Required | | Actual |
Leverage Ratio (maximum) | 3.50 |
| | 1.36 |
| | 3.50 |
| | 1.41 |
|
Interest Coverage Ratio (minimum) | 2.75 |
| | 12.43 |
| | 2.75 |
| | 11.95 |
|
The senior credit facility includes a maximum leverage ratio covenant of 3.50 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.75, in each case through December 8, 2019.
The covenants in our senior credit facility agreement generally prohibit us from repaying or refinancing our senior notes. So long as no default existed, we would, however, under our senior credit facility agreement, be permitted to repay or refinance our senior notes (i) with the net cash proceeds of permitted refinancing indebtedness (as defined in the senior credit facility agreement) or with the net cash proceeds of our common stock, in each case issued within 180 days prior to such repayment; (ii) with the net cash proceeds of the incremental facilities (as defined in the senior credit facility agreement) and certain indebtedness incurred by our foreign subsidiaries; (iii) with the proceeds of the revolving loans (as defined in the senior credit facility agreement); (iv) with the cash generated by our operations; (v) in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of qualified capital stock (as defined in the senior credit facility agreement) issued by us after December 8, 2014; and (vi) in exchange for permitted refinancing indebtedness or in exchange for shares of our common stock; provided that such purchases are capped as follows (with respect to clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) based on a pro forma consolidated leverage ratio after giving effect to such purchase, cancellation or redemption):
|
| | | |
Pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio | Aggregate Senior Note Maximum Amount |
| (Millions) |
Greater than or equal to 3.0x | $ | 20 |
|
Greater than or equal to 2.5x | $ | 100 |
|
Greater than or equal to 2.0x | $ | 200 |
|
Less than 2.0x | no limit |
|
Although the senior credit facility agreement would permit us to repay or refinance our senior notes under the conditions described above, any repayment or refinancing of our outstanding notes would be subject to market conditions and either the voluntary participation of note holders or our ability to redeem the notes under the terms of the applicable note indenture. For example, while the senior credit facility agreement would allow us to repay our outstanding notes via a direct exchange of the
notes for either permitted refinancing indebtedness or for shares of our common stock, we do not, under the terms of the agreements governing our outstanding notes, have the right to refinance the notes via any type of direct exchange.
The senior credit facility agreement also contains other restrictions on our operations that are customary for similar facilities, including limitations on: (i) incurring additional liens; (ii) sale and leaseback transactions (except for the permitted transactions as described in the senior credit facility agreement); (iii) liquidations and dissolutions; (iv) incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees; (v) investments and acquisitions; (vi) dividends and share repurchases; (vii) mergers and consolidations; and (viii) refinancing of the senior notes. Compliance with these requirements and restrictions is a condition for any incremental borrowings under the senior credit facility agreement and failure to meet these requirements enables the lenders to require repayment of any outstanding loans.
As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all the financial covenants and operational restrictions of the senior credit facility. Our senior credit facility does not contain any terms that could accelerate payment of the facility or affect pricing under the facility as a result of a credit rating agency downgrade.
Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2015, our outstanding senior notes also included $225 million of 53/8 percent senior notes due December 15, 2024 which consisted of $221 million net carrying amount including a $4 million debt issuance cost and $500 million of 67/8 percent senior notes due December 15, 2020 which consisted of $493 million net carrying amount including a $7 million debt issuance cost. Under the indentures governing the notes, we are permitted to redeem some or all of the remaining senior notes at specified prices that decline to par over a specified period, (a) on or after December 15, 2019, in the case of the senior notes due 2024, and (b) on or after December 15, 2015, in the case of the senior notes due 2020. In addition, the notes may also be redeemed at a price generally equal to 100 percent of the principal amount thereof plus a premium based on the present values of the remaining payments due to the note holders. Further, the indentures governing the notes also permit us to redeem up to 35 percent of the senior notes due 2024, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings completed on or before December 15, 2017. If we sell certain of our assets or experience specified kinds of changes in control, we must offer to repurchase the notes due 2024 and 2020 at 101 percent of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Our senior notes require that, as a condition precedent to incurring certain types of indebtedness not otherwise permitted, our consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as calculated on a pro forma basis, be greater than 2.00. The indentures also contain restrictions on our operations, including limitations on: (i) incurring additional indebtedness or liens; (ii) dividends; (iii) distributions and stock repurchases; (iv) investments; (v) asset sales and (vi) mergers and consolidations. Subject to limited exceptions, all of our existing and future material domestic wholly owned subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee these notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries that have guaranteed these notes to make distributions to us. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with the covenants and restrictions of these indentures.
Accounts Receivable Securitization. We securitize some of our accounts receivable on a limited recourse basis in North America and Europe. As servicer under these accounts receivable securitization programs, we are responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions for these securitized financial assets including collections and processing of customer invoice adjustments. In North America, we have an accounts receivable securitization program with three commercial banks comprised of a first priority facility and a second priority facility. We securitize original equipment and aftermarket receivables on a daily basis under the bank program. In March 2015, the North American program was amended and extended to April 30, 2017. The first priority facility provides financing of up to $130 million and the second priority facility, which is subordinated to the first priority facility, provides up to an additional $50 million of financing. Both facilities monetize accounts receivable generated in the U.S. and Canada that meet certain eligibility requirements. The second priority facility also monetizes certain accounts receivable generated in the U.S. or Canada that would otherwise be ineligible under the first priority securitization facility. The amount of outstanding third-party investments in our securitized accounts receivable under the North American program was $50 million at June 30, 2015 and zero at December 31, 2014.
Each facility contains customary covenants for financings of this type, including restrictions related to liens, payments, mergers or consolidations and amendments to the agreements underlying the receivables pool. Further, each facility may be terminated upon the occurrence of customary events (with customary grace periods, if applicable), including breaches of covenants, failure to maintain certain financial ratios, inaccuracies of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain changes in the rate of default or delinquency of the receivables, a change of control and the entry or other enforcement of material judgments. In addition, each facility contains cross-default provisions, where the facility could be terminated in the event of non-payment of other material indebtedness when due and any other event which permits the acceleration of the maturity of material indebtedness.
We also securitize receivables in our European operations with regional banks in Europe under various separate facilities. The commitments for these arrangements are generally for one year, but some may be canceled with notice 90 days prior to renewal. In some instances, the arrangement provides for cancellation by the applicable financial institution at any time upon
notification. The amount of outstanding third-party investments in our securitized accounts receivable in Europe was $187 million and $153 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
If we were not able to securitize receivables under either the North American or European securitization programs, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase. These accounts receivable securitization programs provide us with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing, and allow us to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.
In our North American accounts receivable securitization programs, we transfer a partial interest in a pool of receivables and the interest that we retain is subordinate to the transferred interest. Accordingly, we account for our North American securitization program as a secured borrowing. In our European programs, we transfer accounts receivables in their entirety to the acquiring entities and satisfy all of the conditions established under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” to report the transfer of financial assets in their entirety as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under our European securitization programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. We recognized less than $1 million interest expense in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $1 million in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, relating to our North American securitization program. In addition, we recognized a loss of $1 million in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $2 million in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, on the sale of trade accounts receivable in our European accounts receivable securitization programs, representing the discount from book values at which these receivables were sold to our banks. The discount rate varies based on funding costs incurred by our banks. The discount rate varies based on funding costs incurred by our banks, which averaged approximately two percent during the first half of 2015 and two percent during the first half of 2014, respectively.
Financial Instruments. One of our European subsidiaries receives payment from one of its customers whereby the accounts receivable are satisfied through the early delivery of financial instruments. We may collect these financial instruments before their maturity date by either selling them at a discount or using them to satisfy accounts receivable that have previously been sold to a European bank. Any of these financial instruments which are not sold are classified as other current assets. The amount of these financial instruments that was collected before their maturity date and sold at a discount totaled at $1 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. No such financial instruments were held by our European subsidiary as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
In certain instances, several of our Chinese subsidiaries receive payment from customers through the receipt of financial instruments on the date the customer payments are due. Several of our Chinese subsidiaries also satisfy vendor payments through the delivery of financial instruments on the date the payments are due. Financial instruments issued to satisfy vendor payables and not redeemed totaled $32 million and $24 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and were classified as notes payable. Financial instruments received from OE customers and not redeemed totaled $19 million and $17 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We classify financial instruments received from our customers as other current assets if issued by a financial institution of our customers or as customer notes and accounts, if issued by our customer. We classified $19 million and $17 million in other current assets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Some of our Chinese subsidiaries that issue their own financial instruments to pay vendors are required to maintain a cash balance if they exceed certain credit limits with the financial institution that guarantees those financial instruments. A restricted cash balance was required at those Chinese subsidiaries at June 30, 2015 for $2 million and was not required December 31, 2014.
The financial instruments received by one of our European subsidiaries and some of our Chinese subsidiaries are drafts drawn that are payable at a future date and, in some cases, are negotiable and/or are guaranteed by banks of the customers. The use of these instruments for payment follows local commercial practice. Because certain of such financial instruments are guaranteed by our customers’ banks, we believe they represent a lower financial risk than the outstanding accounts receivable that they satisfy which are not guaranteed by a bank.
Supply Chain Financing. Near the end of the second quarter of 2013 certain of our suppliers in the U.S. extended their payment terms to Tenneco. The liquidity benefit to Tenneco from the extended payment terms totaled $12 million at June 30, 2015. These suppliers also began participating in a supply chain financing program under which they securitize their accounts receivables from Tenneco with two financial institutions. The financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing program on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables from Tenneco's suppliers at any time. If the financial institutions did not continue to purchase receivables from Tenneco's suppliers under this program, the participating vendors could reduce their payment terms to Tenneco which in turn would cause our borrowings under our revolving credit facility to increase.
Capital Requirements. We believe that cash flows from operations, combined with our cash on hand, subject to any applicable withholding taxes upon repatriation of cash balances from our foreign operations where most of our cash balances are located, and available borrowing capacity described above, assuming that we maintain compliance with the financial covenants and other requirements of our loan agreement, will be sufficient to meet our future capital requirements, including
debt amortization, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and other operational requirements, for the following year. Our ability to meet the financial covenants depends upon a number of operational and economic factors, many of which are beyond our control. In the event that we are unable to meet these financial covenants, we would consider several options to meet our cash flow needs. Such actions include additional restructuring initiatives and other cost reductions, sales of assets, reductions to working capital and capital spending, issuance of equity and other alternatives to enhance our financial and operating position. Should we be required to implement any of these actions to meet our cash flow needs, we believe we can do so in a reasonable time frame.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts with terms of less than one year, to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary exposure to changes in foreign currency rates results from intercompany loans made between affiliates to minimize the need for borrowings from third parties. Additionally, we enter into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. We manage counter-party credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with major financial institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
In managing our foreign currency exposures, we identify and aggregate existing offsetting positions and then hedge residual exposures through third-party derivative contracts. The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts was less than $1 million at June 30, 2015 and is based on an internally developed model which incorporates observable inputs including quoted spot rates, forward exchange rates and discounted future expected cash flows utilizing market interest rates with similar quality and maturity characteristics. The following table summarizes by major currency the notional amounts for our foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts as of June 30, 2015. All contracts in the following table mature in 2015.

Interest Rate Risk
Our financial instruments that are sensitive to market risk for changes in interest rates are primarily our debt securities. We use our revolving credit facility to finance our short-term and long-term capital requirements. We pay a current market rate of interest on these borrowings. Our long-term capital requirements have been financed with long-term debt with original maturity dates ranging from four to ten years. On June 30, 2015, we had $759 million in long-term debt obligations that have fixed interest rates. Of that amount, $500 million is fixed through December 2020, $225 million is fixed through December 2024, and the remainder is fixed from 2015 through 2025. We also have $361 million in long-term debt obligations that are subject to variable interest rates. For more detailed explanations on our debt structure and senior credit facility refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization” earlier in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
We estimate that the fair value of our long-term debt at June 30, 2015 was about 103 percent of its book value. A one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease the annual interest expense we recognize in the income statement and the cash we pay for interest expense by about $5 million.
Environmental Matters, Legal Proceedings and Product Warranties
Note 7 in our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements located in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q is incorporated herein for reference.
We expect to continue to incur legal and related costs pertaining to the ongoing antitrust investigation in 2015. While the quarterly costs we incur in 2015 may be lower than those incurred in 2014, such costs may not be evenly distributed throughout the year.
Tenneco 401(K) Retirement Savings Plan
Effective January 1, 2012, the Tenneco Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Hourly Employees and the Tenneco Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried Employees were merged into one plan called the Tenneco 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Retirement Savings Plan”). Under the plan, subject to limitations in the Internal Revenue Code, participants may elect to defer up to 75 percent of their salary through contributions to the plan, which are invested in selected mutual funds or used to buy our common stock. We match 100 percent of an employee's contributions up to three percent of the employee's salary and 50 percent of an employee's contributions that are between three percent and five percent of the employee's salary. In connection with freezing the defined benefit pension plans for nearly all U.S. based salaried and non-union hourly employees effective December 31, 2006, and the related replacement of those defined benefit plans with defined contribution plans, we are making additional contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan. We recorded expense for these contributions of approximately $13 million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Matching contributions vest immediately. Defined benefit replacement contributions fully vest on the employee’s third anniversary of employment.
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For information regarding our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk, see the caption entitled “Derivative Financial Instruments” in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
We are exposed to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. There have been no other material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a) None.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) Purchase of equity securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers. The following table provides information relating to our purchase of shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2015. These purchases reflect shares withheld upon vesting of restricted stock for minimum tax withholding obligations as well as shares repurchased through our share repurchase program. We intend to continue to satisfy statutory minimum tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of outstanding restricted stock through the withholding of shares.
In January 2015, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing our company to repurchase up to $350 million of the Company's outstanding common stock over a three-year period. This repurchase program does not obligate Tenneco to make repurchases at any specific time or situation and is part of our overall capital allocation strategy. We repurchased 748,000 shares through this program in the six month period ended June 30, 2015. Based on our operating performance, current industry production forecasts and the anticipated requirements for capital expenditures and working capital to continue funding growth, we are accelerating our share repurchase program and expect to complete it by the end of 2016.
