TRW Automotive Reports First-Quarter 2004 Financial Results;
Reduces Total Gross Debt by $494 Million
LIVONIA, MICHIGAN, May 5, 2004 — TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (NYSE:
TRW), the global leader in active and passive safety systems, today reported first-
quarter 2004 results with sales of just over $2.9 billion and net earnings of $2 million
or 2 cents per share, which includes expenses of $47 million or 48 cents per share for
charges associated with debt repayment transactions. First quarter earnings
excluding these charges were $49 million or 50 cents per share. During first-quarter
2004, TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), which is the parent
company of TRW Automotive Inc., reduced total gross debt by $494 million. During
the quarter, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of approximately
24.1 million shares of common stock on February 6, 2004.
In the prior year, the Company reported sales of $940 million and net losses of $46
million for the one-month period ended March 28, 2003. This reporting period was
the first month of results for the Company following the February 28, 2003 acquisition
of the former TRW Inc.’s automotive business by affiliates of The Blackstone Group
L.P. (“Blackstone”) from Northrop Grumman Corporation. The predecessor company
reported sales of $1.9 billion and net earnings of $31 million for the two-month period
ended February 28, 2003.
“Although our initial public offering in February of this year marked another major
milestone in the Company’s evolution, the event does not overshadow our product
development efforts and recent operational and financial achievements,” said John C.
Plant, president and chief executive officer. “These factors have contributed to our
1

2. success at winning new business at planned rates from many of the world’s leading
automotive manufacturers. By focusing on automotive safety systems and
consistently offering our customers innovative and high-quality products, we have
established ourselves as one of the world’s most diversified major automotive
suppliers with leading market positions in our primary product lines.”
As a result of the Blackstone acquisition on February 28, 2003, certain consolidated
and combined financial information relating to first-quarter 2003 contained within this
release (labeled as pro forma) has been adjusted to illustrate the estimated pro forma
effects of such acquisition and a subsequent July 2003 debt refinancing, as if these
transactions had occurred on January 1, 2003.
First-Quarter 2004 Compared to Pro Forma First-Quarter 2003
The Company reported first-quarter 2004 sales of just over $2.9 billion, an increase of
$110 million or about 4 percent from prior year pro forma sales of $2.8 billion. The
increase can be attributed to foreign currency translation and sales of new products,
partially offset by pricing provided to customers, lower customer volumes and a
reduction in sales due to divestitures. Operating income for first-quarter 2004 was
$153 million, a decline of $24 million compared to the prior year pro forma operating
income. This decrease occurred mainly as a result of a $39 million decline in net
pension and OPEB income due primarily to the application of purchase accounting in
2003. Excluding this decline, operating income increased by $15 million compared to
the previous year’s pro forma operating income.
The Company reported first-quarter 2004 net earnings of about $2 million or 2 cents
per share in the quarter, compared to pro forma net earnings of $48 million in the
prior year. First-quarter 2004 earnings were negatively impacted by $47 million or 48
cents per share for prepayment premiums on high yield notes redeemed with
proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering and other expenses related to a
January 2004 bank debt refinancing. The debt repayment charges are U.S. based
and therefore carry zero tax benefit due to a U.S. tax loss position. Excluding the
debt repayment charges, the Company’s first-quarter 2004 earnings were $49 million
or 50 cents per share, an increase of $1 million compared to the prior year pro forma
earnings despite having a $39 million pre-tax decline in net pension and OPEB
income.
2

3. During first-quarter 2004, the Company reported pre-tax restructuring charges of $5
million and amortization of intangibles (principally customer relationships) of $9
million. In comparison, the prior year quarter included $10 million of pre-tax
restructuring and other unusual charges and amortization of intangibles of $6 million.
The Company reported EBITDA (earnings before interest, losses on sale of
receivables, gain (loss) on retirement of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of
$276 million for first-quarter 2004 compared to $295 million the previous year. As
described previously, first-quarter 2004 results were negatively impacted by a $39
million reduction in net pension and OPEB income compared to the previous year.
Excluding the effects of the $39 million reduction, EBITDA in first-quarter 2004
improved by over 7 percent compared to the prior year. Please see the
accompanying schedules for a reconciliation of EBITDA to the closest GAAP
equivalent.
Capital/Liquidity
As of March 26, 2004, the Company had $3,314 million of debt and $465 million of
cash and marketable securities. At quarter-end, net debt (defined as debt less cash
and marketable securities) totaled $2,849 million, a $115 million reduction from the
level of net debt outstanding at December 31, 2003. Gross debt was reduced during
the quarter by $494 million, which included the redemption of $287 million, net of
premiums, of portions of our Senior and Senior-Subordinated notes with net proceeds
raised from our February IPO. Net cash outflow from operating and investing
activities during the quarter, which is typically a cash usage quarter due to
seasonality, amounted to $171 million. Capital expenditures during the quarter
totaled $67 million, compared to $11 million and $66 million, or $77 million pro forma,
for the one-month period ended March 28, 2003 and the two-month period ended
February 28, 2003, respectively.
2004 Outlook
The Company reiterates its full-year guidance, which calls for expected sales in the
range of $11.4 to $11.6 billion. The Company also expects full-year earnings per
share in the range of $1.08 to $1.23, which includes the previously mentioned first-
quarter charges of $47 million or 47 cents per share for expenses related to debt
repayment and refinancing transactions, or $1.55 to $1.70 excluding these charges.
3

4. Further, this guidance includes pre-tax expenses of approximately $33 million for
amortization of intangibles (principally customer relationships) and approximately $30
million related to restructuring.
For second-quarter 2004, the Company expects revenue of approximately $3 billion
and earnings per share in the range of $0.57 to $0.65, which includes pre-tax
restructuring charges of approximately $8 million.
Reconciliation to GAAP
For a reconciliation of the pro forma and non-GAAP historical numbers appearing in
this release to GAAP, please see the accompanying schedules.

Reconciliation to Historical and Pro Forma EBITDA
(unaudited)
The reconciliation schedule below should be read in conjunction with the TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, which contains summary historical and pro forma
financial data. The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information is intended to give effect to the
February 28, 2003 acquisition of the former TRW Inc.’s automotive business by affiliates of The Blackstone
Group L.P. from Northrop Grumman Corporation and the July 22, 2003 refinancing of a portion of debt
entered into in connection with the acquisition, as if these transactions had occurred on January 1, 2003.
The EBITDA measure calculated in the following schedule is a measure used by management to evaluate
operating performance. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently
used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies
in our industry.
EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net earnings
(losses) as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of
liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to
be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash
requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements.
