29. Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, including statements regarding anticipated financial results. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results
as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, general economic conditions in the markets in which
the Company operates, including changes in interest rates and fuel prices, fluctuations in the production of vehicles for which
the Company is a supplier, labor disputes involving the Company or its significant customers or suppliers or that otherwise
affect the Company, the Company’s ability to achieve cost reductions that offset or exceed customer-mandated selling price
reductions, the impact and timing of program launch costs, the costs and timing of facility closures or similar actions, increases
in warranty or product liability costs, risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries, fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates, adverse changes in economic conditions or political instability in the jurisdictions in which the Company
operates, competitive conditions impacting the Company’s key customers, raw material cost and availability, the Company’s
ability to successfully integrate the recently acquired Grote and Hartmann operations, the outcome of legal or regulatory
proceedings to which we are or may become a party, unanticipated changes in free cash flow and other risks described from
time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
In addition, the full year 2004 per share earnings guidance is based on an assumed 70.5 million shares outstanding and does
not reflect the potential dilutive impact of the Company’s outstanding convertible senior notes.
The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does not assume any
obligation to update them.
This presentation also contains information on the Company’s sales backlog. The Company’s incremental sales backlog
reflects: (i) formally awarded new programs; (ii) targeted programs for which the Company believes there is a substantial
likelihood of award; (iii) phased-out and cancelled programs; (iv) estimates regarding customer-mandated changes in selling
prices; and (v) estimates of expected changes in vehicle content. Changes in any of these components may significantly impact
the Company’s backlog. In addition, backlog may be impacted by various assumptions imbedded in the calculation, including
vehicle production levels on new, replacement or targeted programs, foreign exchange rates and the timing of major program
launches. For purposes of the backlog data included in this presentation, the Company has made various assumption, including
the following: (1) North American vehicle production of 16.0 million units; (2) Western European vehicle production of 16.0
million units; (3) South American vehicle production of 1.9 million units; and (4) a Euro exchange rate of $1.20/Euro. Please
refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 for further information on the
28
Company’s calculation of sales backlog.
