Scott Deitz

Investor Relations

Thank you, Stephanie. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us for what we estimate will be about a one-hour call. We appreciate you taking the time to join us for Visteon’s view toward the first quarter 2012. Today we’ll provide you with a recap of our results for the quarter and insights associated with our overall performance. As Stephanie mentioned, the presentation deck associated with today’s call is posted on Visteon’s website within the IR section and just to remind you that our website is simply visteon.com, and as many of you may know the Q was also filed this morning with the news release. We are joined today by Don Stebbins, Chairman, CEO and President; and Marty Welch, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. As you’d expect following Don and Marty’s prepared remarks we’ll open the call to your questions. Again, thanks for joining us. With that, I turn it over to Don.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Thanks, Scott, and good morning, everyone. During today’s presentation I will review Visteon’s first quarter 2012 performance and then I’ll turn the call over to Marty for the financial review. In the first quarter our consolidated sales totaled $1.7 billion and our adjusted EBITDA was $150 million, representing an adjusted margin of 8.7%. Our balance sheet remains strong with $721 million in cash and $596 million of debt translating into a net cash position of $125 million. Our $220 million asset-backed revolving credit facility remains undrawn. We continue to focus on the profitable and efficient use of our assets. In the first quarter we completed the closure of our Spanish Electronics facility and announced the sale of our Lighting product group to Varroc. In April, we also completed the sale of our corporate headquarters campus. For the full year 2012 we are updating our guidance to reflect the impacts of the sale of our Lighting product group and the Grace Lake Corporate Center. We have made no other changes to our guidance. Our updated product sales guidance is $6.6 billion to $7 billion and our updated adjusted EBITDA guidance is $620 million to $660 million. Our free cash flow guidance is now $5 million to $30 million, which includes approximately $35 million of cash closure costs related to the Spanish plant closure. On slide three, as I mentioned, on April 17th, we completed the sale of our Grace Lake Corporate Center in Van Buren Township, Michigan, for proceeds of approximately $81 million. As part of that transaction, we signed a 15-year lease for the space we currently occupy at the Grace Lake Corporate Center. The sale of the Grace Lake Corporate Center is another step in our drive to focus on our core business and create shareholder value. On March…

Management

Thanks, Don, and good morning, everyone. Visteon’s first quarter 2012 financial results report Visteon’s Lighting product line as a discontinued operation. Our income statement has been adjusted to exclude Lighting sales, gross margin, SG&A and other Lighting specific income and expense. Lighting’s net profit impact has been recorded on one line on the income statement called discontinued operations. There are no adjustments to the cash flow statement related to discontinued operations presentation. For the remainder of this presentation, all first quarter 2012 and historical financials reflect Lighting as a discontinued operation. Slide eight provides a summary of our first quarter 2012 financial results compared to the first quarter of last year. As we’ve highlighted on previous calls, our 2012 and 2011 results are impacted by a number of items that make year-over-year comparisons difficult. Our 2012 financials are impacted by the deconsolidation of our Duckyang joint venture, which was effective on October 31, 2011. 2011 and 2012 gross margin, SG&A and net income were also impacted by employee charges, severance costs and non-operating costs. For the rest of this presentation, I will refer to adjusted sales, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A and adjusted EBITDA, which exclude these items. Reconciliations between our reported financials and our adjusted financials are provided on pages 22 and 23 of this presentation. Slide nine provides a summary of our first quarter year-over-year comparisons. First quarter 2012 adjusted sales of $1.7 billion were $19 million lower than the first quarter of 2011. The decrease is more than explained by the year-over-year impact of unfavorable currency. Adjusted gross margin was $138 million or 8% of sales. Our adjusted gross margin is $6 million below 2011, primarily driven by unfavorable product mix and currency, which more than offset a positive business equation of $22 million. Adjusted SG&A was…

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Thanks, Marty. As we look forward into 2012, our teams are focused on continuing our investments in technology, mitigating the near-term issues of declining volumes in Europe, completing the announced transactions as quickly as possible, continuing to win new business and generating free cash flow. With that, I’ll turn it back over to Scott to get the Q&A started.

Scott Deitz

Investor Relations

Okay. Stephanie, let’s open the line for a good Q&A dialogue.

(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from Colin Langan with UBS. Your line is open. Colin Langan – UBS: Good morning.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Good morning, Colin. Colin Langan – UBS: Is there any update on the Interiors MOU sort of the timing of when that might close?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

In terms of the timing of the Interiors MOU we’re looking to finalize that in the second quarter. And if that occurs during that timeframe we would expect closing that transaction sometime before the end of the year. Colin Langan – UBS: Okay. And how much did that impact your margin or your equity income, was that a big impact would equity income have been up if there wasn’t these MOU cost?

Marty Welch

Management

We don’t have the specific disclosure on how much deal cost they’re in to. But they are working very, very hard and doing significant work on the MOU as are we. Colin Langan – UBS: Okay. And any color on the change in the Board, any reason why the members step down and did those seats that are still vacant need to be filled or does it possible kind of leave them, just go down and have a smaller Board?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. I guess, I’d phrase it this way, Colin, that each of the individual Board members assess their own priorities based upon what’s going on in their personal and professional lives and so these four directors decided not to run for election -- reelection. I think importantly, they did so without any disagreements with the company or any matter related to the operations, the strategy, any procedures or policies of the company. So, in terms of adding only one member at this time, it’s what the board felt was to do appropriately and I think the 10-K or the 8-K, sorry, that was filed certainly indicated that we have engaged with a world class search firm to surface other candidates. Colin Langan – UBS: Okay. And last year at the Investor Day you talked a lot about portfolio optimizing the portfolio products and you’ve now, you’re in the process of transferring Lighting or, sorry, Lighting is discontinued and Interiors are being, I hope they’re going to move into the MOU into YFV. I mean, what is your view now, I mean, is it going to -- are you going to reassess when the Board changes in June or are you still kind of considering additional portfolio optimization type actions going forward?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. Certainly, when the new Board, I guess, if you want to characterize them as that, essentially there’s only one new member. The strategy of the company was unanimously approved, however, many months ago 12 or 15 or 18 months ago as we came out of Chapter 11. And in terms of getting down to two product groups and strong JV partnerships is exactly where we’ve tried to drive the company and that’s where we’re driving the company now. From our perspective, we need to get those transactions closed and that’s what we’re working on doing. Colin Langan – UBS: Okay. Great. All right. Thanks.

Your next question comes from Brian Johnson with Barclays. Your line is open. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Good morning. I have a couple of housekeeping questions just as we tried to tease out the discontinued op effects and then a more strategic question. So on the housekeeping, if we think about the guidance walk, compared to the prior guidance, can you give us a sense of the split between the Lighting impact and the Grace Lakes impact, and were there any business drivers at all or is it purely mechanical for those two transactions?

Marty Welch

Management

So. No. So the only adjustments that we made to guidance were for those two transactions, Brian and what we’ve got coming out of the guidance is, as I mentioned, a half a year worth of EBITDA on Lighting, which I think is $24 million and the Grace Lakes Corporate Center for the partial year is $6 million, and so this is about -- that’s basically the $30 million reduction in EBITDA that we’re reflecting there. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay. So, you’ve said half a year of EBITDA, I thought we were going back and restating?

Marty Welch

Management

Well, we are but... Brian Johnson – Barclays: Not just this year but the whole year.

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. I’m glad that you asked that question. So taking it to discontinued operation literally means that we reduce it to one-line item on the income statement and it’s not in my line of consolidated but the EBITDA and the earnings are still in there. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay. So that’s what I wanted to clarify. So the adjusted EBITDA includes, hey, for this quarter includes the Lighting discontinued ops income…

Marty Welch

Management

Right. And we… Brian Johnson – Barclays: … that’s growing the adjusted EBITDA?

Marty Welch

Management

And we anticipate that it will also include it for the second quarter. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Right. And then in the third quarter and fourth quarter you don’t have that?

Marty Welch

Management

Right. From the… Brian Johnson – Barclays: And…

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. From the same time that we close, we’ll no longer have it. That’s right. Brian Johnson – Barclays: And you’re saying that’s roughly $20 million for the half year?

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. $20 million, $24 million, something like that, right? Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay. So it’s about a $40 million annual run rate in that division?

Marty Welch

Management

Right. Brian Johnson – Barclays: And then so that implies about $10 million of rent you’re now paying/no longer collecting from Mr. Quigley [extra data] and...

Marty Welch

Management

Correct. Brian Johnson – Barclays: There’s something there about being a tenant and landlord, I think it’s kind of ironic. And so given those puts and takes, how did first quarter really kind of track versus in the cooperating businesses where your original plan was?

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. I think from my perspective I’m pleased, I think when we were back in the Deutsche Bank Conference in January we indicated that the first half of the year would be a little softer than the second half. We actually outperformed our own expectations a little bit in the first quarter and from a cash perspective we significantly outperformed our expectations.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. All that despite volumes not going our way. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay. And then, more strategically, I guess, question is, well, just kind of part that, any sense of how you can help us understand how Halla since their financials aren’t out yet contributed to that? Yeah, if we look at that Climate performance, should we think about the Halla versus the non-Halla Climate?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Right. The Halla is going to be posted on Monday and there will be upon website on Monday morning, you’ll be able to click through to the Halla numbers. They’re in the middle of changing over to Korean IFRS and they were not able to meet this timing. They did meet this timing for our year end because we had more time and we’re working with them to accelerate their closing process. But you’ll be able to see their numbers on Monday by clicking into our website. Brian Johnson – Barclays: If I look at the improvement in adjusted gross margin, is that from Halla, is that from non-Halla Climate or wait and we’ll try to tease it out on Monday?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Climate is basically flat for the quarter year-over-year. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay. And I was -- I’m just saying are the trends similar at both components of it?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. We don’t, Brian, it’s difficult for us given the public float. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Anything we say here would be out in front of the Korean markets which we really don’t want to do. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay. We’ll look back offline early next week…

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. Brian Johnson – Barclays: … to try to...

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. Thanks.

Marty Welch

Management

So, you’ll be able to see it on Monday and if you want to circle back we can certainly do that. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Which gets to the age old strategic question, any new thinking/progress on cleaning up the corporate structure one way or another? They take your Thermal business? You take their Climate business on the Halla side. There certainly seem to be some spikes in the Halla stock-off and on in March and April back, some people thought there might be something underneath that smoke?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Well, the easy answer is there really is no update from what we’ve previously said. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay. And any timeframe for an update or...

Don Stebbins

Chairman

If we were to ever announce a transaction, it would go to everybody at the same time. Brian Johnson – Barclays: Okay. Thanks.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Thanks.

Your next question comes from Kirk Ludtke with CRT Capital Group. Your line is open. Kirk Ludtke – CRT Capital Group: Good morning.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Hi, Kirk. Kirk Ludtke – CRT Capital Group: Hi. I wanted to touch on Slide 10 a little bit, which I thought was very helpful and I was wondering if you could maybe expand on the adverse mix that you’re experiencing? And then also with respect to FX, I think probably it’s not a surprise that FX negatively impacted the year-over-year revenue comparison but it had a bigger impact on profitability than we were expecting. So I’m just curious if you can expand on why that was and anything you can share with respect to what you expect going forward, that would be great.

Marty Welch

Management

Sure. So on the mix front, as you know, businesses awarded in these product lines basically three years in advance. So we’re watching product now that were put on the books some time ago and in some cases, they’re lower margin than the business we have going forward. So we have had some products roll-off or complete if you will that were a little bit higher margin than the products that are replacing them. We do later on this year or next year expect to launch further products that will kind of bring us back little bit on margin. In terms of FX, I think we are heavily impacted by the euro. There’s no question about that in the Electronics and the Interiors businesses. Kirk Ludtke – CRT Capital Group: And is the -- is this the kind of impact that we should -- relationship between revenues and gross profit that we should expect going forward?

Marty Welch

Management

Well, you’ve got a little bit of a double dip going on here and Don can speak to this too. But we have the exchange impact and we also have lower volumes in Europe because the economic activity is lower. So it’s double dipping us in that sense. Kirk Ludtke – CRT Capital Group: Okay. And with respect to the guidance, you did say it was going to be back end loaded, I guess it will be -- just to clarify it sounds like maybe the second quarter will be -- would you expect the second quarter to be relatively weak and then I know, stronger second half, is that, I guess that’s what we’re going to expect?

Marty Welch

Management

Right. So we really don’t give quarterly guidance, each quarter we try to update our annual guidance. And what we said back in January, I think we even had a slide on in the January presentation, you can take a look at on the website. We do have some reasons why we believe the second half of the year always stronger than the first half of the year. Kirk Ludtke – CRT Capital Group: Okay. And then with respect to Yanfeng’s margins I guess it sounds like -- will those recover as the -- as the year progresses do you think?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. I think, certainly volumes are going to recover. Our estimate is that the market will grow, kind of, seven percentish in that range, which would be a million or a million two in terms of increased units from last year. There’s no question that the Chinese market is certainly retreated from the years past. But I guess the other thing that is important for Yanfeng Visteon is their two largest customers are -- at YFV are Shanghai GM and Shanghai VW. You guys certainly know the market shares that those two companies have. So also if you take a look at the data where the volumes are falling off in China is at the very low end where those two manufacturers are not really dominant players. So they continue to be quite strong. Kirk Ludtke – CRT Capital Group: Excellent. Thank you. And I think Marty mentioned that there was a billion dollars of cash at Yanfeng Visteon. Did I hear that right?

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. You did. Kirk Ludtke – CRT Capital Group: And is there a debt number for Yanfeng Visteon?

Marty Welch

Management

It’s not been disclosed but it’s minimal. Kirk Ludtke – CRT Capital Group: Okay. Fantastic. Thank you very much.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Thanks, Kirk.

Your next question comes from John Murphy with Bank of America-Merrill Lynch. Your line is open. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: Good morning, guys.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Hey, John. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: Marty, just a question. If you look at page 15 and look at the full year guidance, I think there’s a lot of confusion the way that you’re presenting this because you have Lighting in there for part of the year, but you’re telling us you’re deconsolidating it. There’s a question of the impact at Yanfeng in here as well. If we were to look at this guidance, right, and think about really what’s going to go on this year when you adjust for Yanfeng Lighting and the Grace Lake facility. That would be really helpful. I mean is there a way to kind of say, okay our sales, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow adjusted for those items is going to be X, so that we can understand how to model this going forward and what the company will look like?

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. Sure. I mean, in other words the deconsolidation of Lighting has no impact on earnings or EBITDA for -- until we actually sell it. Okay. So it merely takes it out of the sales line, all the various lines on the income statement and puts the net results on one line. So it’s, kind of, like equity accounting if you will, if you’re familiar with that. So deconsolidation is an explanation of why sales are going down. But it has nothing to do with EBITDA or profit. And so -- and the only other adjustment that we’ve put through this guidance is the adjustment to now we have rent expense, which does impact the EBITDA from the sale of the Grace Lake center. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: So we know that...

Marty Welch

Management

There are no other adjustments that have gone through this guidance other than those two items. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: Okay. So if we were to look at the EBITDA, it would be how much lower for sales coming out of the business?

Marty Welch

Management

24. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: 24.

Marty Welch

Management

So that is an assumption of the EBITDA for the second half. That assumes that we would close the Lighting on July 1. So we had to make some assumptions. So that’s the EBITDA for the second half of Lighting when we don’t own it at all. As far as what came out of EBITDA for Lighting for the first half, nothing came out because even though it’s on a discontinued ops presentation basis, the earnings are still in there. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: Got you. Okay. And then just a second question to try to get our numbers straight here as well, as we look at the income statement, I mean we can get to an operating income line of 48 based on the numbers you’re giving us. I’m just curious, as we look at the interest expense and income, equity income or taxes, there is no -- there is no impact that we should be adjusting for. So our loss from continuing ops on the income statement should be -- or actually your income I should say, should be $54 million. Your non-controlling interest should still be $18 million. So our net income in continuing ops should be about $36 million. Is that correct interpretation? Just trying to get that to the net income line.

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. I mean, more or less -- I mean we’d be happy to get back to you offline and get more detailed in some modeling questions if you want. But globally... John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: The important stuff to get out there in the market so people know what the numbers are versus their estimates.

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. I think that’s right. You’re right. Yeah. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: Okay. And then if we were to think about the billion dollars at YFV that you highlighted as potential cash available to you. I’m just curious what mechanisms you could use to get to that billion dollars in cash and how really available that is to you as a corporate entity over here.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

John, just so we’re all clear. We didn’t highlight that, that is cash that’s going to become available to us. It is part of our process in trying to disclose more and more about YFV. These are conversations that we have with our partner and are trying to get him -- them comfortable with us disclosing more about both the balance sheet and the income statement at YFV. They’ve allowed us to disclose that the cash balances at YFV are $1 billion and that there is a minimal debt level. It’s not a discussion at least today, about how are we going to get our hands on that or anything like that. It’s really just to try to allow people to understand a tiny bit more about the YFV balance sheet.

Marty Welch

Management

And John, they are growing tremendously. They’re still building plans, investing in tooling and equipment, all of which they are internally funding. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: Okay. And then just lastly, I mean, I know this has been asked in probably a couple of different ways, but I mean, as far as the Halla’s being done, I mean, there’s not any real update that you guys can give us here at all. I don’t think I’m prodding, but maybe if you could remind us what maybe the challenges or hurdles of executing that might be for you, just so we can understand what kind of hurdles you need to clear to actually execute on that?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

I’ll just repeat what we’ve said in the past, which is there are some advantages to owning 100% of the Halla shares and that needs to be weighed against other uses of capital. And of course, you would never go out to try to buy that 30% unless you were comfortable with the price that you had to pay and that your customer base would be okay with you doing that. John Murphy – Bank of America-Merrill Lynch: Okay. Great. Thank you very much, guys.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. Thanks, John.

Your next question comes from [Jim Rice] with Kazazian Capital. Your line is open. Jim Rice – Kazazian Capital: Hi, guys. Just following up on that Halla question, I mean, you highlight that you might consider buying and the other 30% of your customers are okay with it, but how about your shareholders? I mean, you guys have done an extremely poor job of shareholder value creation here since you guys have come out of bankruptcy. And the story about having four of your board members stepping down, completely independent of each other, I don’t buy. So the question is what are you guys going to do to accelerate shareholder value creation here? Can you buy back stocks? And why not let shareholders nominate some more board members instead of just putting one new board member?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Well, certainly, in terms of the shareholder nomination process that certainly has been available all year. And certainly that’s an option that’s available to people. We did extend the date to 10 days after the proxy was filed. So that certainly is available. In terms of creating shareholder value, from our perspective, certainly portfolio optimization has been one piece of how we’re going about doing that. And I think we’ve outlined three significant steps today that we’ve been working on, which is the sale of Lighting, the sale of the Interiors business, and the sales of the Grace Lake Corporate Center. Secondly, in terms of how we feel that driving shareholder value, what the other aspects of that is, are improving the margins of the business, improving the cash flow of the business, continuing to win new business and strengthening the organization. And I can demonstrate that we’re making progress on all those fronts and we’ll continue to do so. Jim Rice – Kazazian Capital: That’s not what shareholders want. Shareholders want to see some more action here in terms of a further breakup of the company. And you guys have not been executing on the margin front or the sales line. So...

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Well… Jim Rice – Kazazian Capital: I don’t know why you -- you guys seem happy with your progress. And I just want to highlight that shareholders are not happy with the progress here.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Well, I don’t think that’s correct in terms of a statement that all shareholders are unhappy with the progress. And if we can just break it down a little bit, point one in terms of the new business wins and growing the top line, we won over a billion dollars of new business last year, which is a record for the company as a percentage of the revenue of the company. And if you look inside those new business wins, some of them are quite exciting for us in terms of the technology and the customer base. In terms of the margin, the EBITDA margin last year was 8.5%. This year it will be -- if you use the guidance, it will be kind of somewhere north of 9%. We have -- so we are continuing to improve the margin. And again, whether you or an individual shareholder want to break up the company, that’s your prerogative. But from the company’s strategic plan, we’ve identified what we’re going to do in terms of the assets that we have. And we’re moving down the path in terms of running a business that has two businesses, one is Climate, one is Electronics and significant joint venture relationships. Jim Rice – Kazazian Capital: And why don’t you guys buy back some stock?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

It’s something that the board discusses from time to time and the board has not approved that path. Jim Rice – Kazazian Capital: All right.

Scott Deitz

Investor Relations

Okay. Anything, excuse me, this is Scott. Anything else, Jim, if not, we’re going to plow ahead. I’d happy to talk about it offline further if you’d like. Jim Rice – Kazazian Capital: Thank you.

Your next question comes from Susan Anderson with Constellation Capital. Your line is open. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: Thank you very much. I just want to go back to the guidance questions again, just to make sure that I understand what’s happening here. So the $30 million drop from the prior guidance is comprised of $24 million in the second half of Lighting that you no longer will have, right?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

That’s correct. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: And then $6 million of nine months of Grace Lake earnings?

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. Its 7.5 months. Yeah. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: So when I look at that, I guess I’m a little confused because your segment disclosure in the last 10-K indicated that you had $12 million or so of full year growth profits out of your Lighting operations. So how does that translate into over $40 million, which is what you’re saying now?

Marty Welch

Management

Right. The Lighting business has gotten quite a bit better and as with all of our businesses we work on them constantly. And 2012 is a pretty good year for Lighting. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: I see. So Varroc then got a great deal? I mean you sold it for $92 million and let’s call it $48 million in 12 months worth of EBITDA. So they’re getting it for about a little less than two times EBITDA? Is that about right?

Marty Welch

Management

Well, the other thing to keep in mind here is that, as you take out a business of that size from the whole of Visteon, you don’t necessarily get a pro rata share of SG&A out. I mean it’s something we’re very aware of, we keep working on. But we’ve got a lot of fixed costs here that we need to continue to work on in this company. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: I see. Okay. And then with regards to Grace Lake part of it. So I’m looking at the press release, it was a sale leaseback. So are there incremental lease costs that’ll be running through EBITDA or interest costs that we should factor in?

Marty Welch

Management

Right. There is -- the $6 million is the incremental rental cost for the prior year 2012 because we closed on it in the middle of April. On an annual basis, the incremental rent is about $10 million of cash. We had a gain on the sale, which under sale leaseback accounting will get amortized in over the life of the lease, in this case 15 years. So the P&L hit will actually be $8.5 million while the cash hit is 10. We also have some space that -- we are not using -- Visteon are not using that we have an opportunity to sublease. So we have an opportunity to mitigate that number a little bit more. Importantly, in the transaction as well, the space that we have leased to GE and to Dana, the lease now runs directly to the landlord and Visteon is not involved in that space at all. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: Okay. And then switching the topic a little bit, you used to disclose your new business wins. Would you mind sharing that number for the quarter again?

Marty Welch

Management

New business wins, when we covered that in January at the Deutsche Bank. We don’t typically update that on a quarterly basis. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: Okay. So for those of us who weren’t at the Deutsche bank, what was it then?

Marty Welch

Management

The slides are actually on the web site and you can pull it up there. I’m just seeing if we can find it here, so the… Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: All right. I can look for it there.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. The backlog is a $1 billion, which breaks down $300 million in 2012, $600 million in 2013 and $100 million in 2014. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: Okay.

And if you back out the Lighting business that will reduce by approximately $30 million to $970 million. So my expectation will be, it will be well over $1 billion, once we get through this new business cycle. Susan Anderson – Constellation Capital: Okay. All right. Thank you very much.

Marty Welch

Your next question comes from Dean Machado with LionEye Capital. Your line is open. Dean Machado – LionEye Capital: Hi. It’s Dean Machado. Is there a business reason to keep $1 billion in cash at YFV?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Well, first of all it’s a joint venture and it’s not our call. It’s a 50/50 joint venture. So it is the subject of the combined board of directors of YFV. I guess second of all, they have significant growth and then which they have been funding internally. So I think those are the two most important things to think about it.

Marty Welch

Management

I think the other -- the third would be that these are -- that you have to look at the structure of YFV. And so we talk about it as if sometimes -- as if it’s one entity when in reality it’s five joint ventures underneath the YFV umbrella. And then underneath them there’s multiple other unconsolidated and consolidated subsidiaries. So this is a number that is the roll-up of all those -- of all those entities. Dean Machado – LionEye Capital: Right. I presumed that. I guess, what I was asking was, does that number need to stay at the JV/JVs for some specific business purpose? Meaning does it need to be there to be put up against payables? Is there some other, sort of, accounting reason that it needs to be there?

Marty Welch

Management

Not that I’m aware of.

Don Stebbins

Chairman

So it’s just cash that has accumulated over time.

Marty Welch

Management

Right. And it’s the way that they have chosen to finance the business. Dean Machado – LionEye Capital: Okay. And then on the Lighting business, I think along with others, am surprised at the EBITDA numbers for that business. And if I take the 24 that you’re talking about, that’s 48 full year. I presume that’s a four wall EBITDA number if you will, sort of, pre allocations.

Marty Welch

Management

More or less, yeah. Dean Machado – LionEye Capital: Can you give us a sense for what sort of those corporate allocations are?

Marty Welch

Management

We’ve not really gotten into that kind of disclosure. I don’t think that’d be appropriate. No. Visteon is basically central core of a lot of fixed costs. Lighting is a relatively small part of the pie. We work very hard at taking those costs out. As you can see our SG&A costs did continue to go down quarter after quarter, after quarter. But by selling Lighting we don’t immediately get a big dip down in our central core costs. Dean Machado – LionEye Capital: Right. And then just a last one, more of a strategic question, most of the talk has been around buying in the 30% of Halla that you don’t own. Has there been any discussion on selling the 70% of Halla that you do own?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

Yeah. In terms -- in terms of the strategic analysis, we would continue and we have, and we’ve looked at a number of different scenarios with Halla. We’ve not said publicly whether or not we’re buying or selling Halla shares. What we’ve said is that there are advantages to us owning 100% of the Halla shares. And that, that we need to weigh though, any of those alternatives against the uses of cash that we have. It’s a tremendously good business. We’re number two in the world in terms of our climate business. And so, I would say that we’re going to continue to invest in our climate business globally. Not just the Halla piece, but our entire climate business. Dean Machado – LionEye Capital: Okay. Thanks, guys.

Your next question comes from Ross Berner with WCM. Your line is open. Ross Berner – WCM: Hi. I just a quick question. Is there any issues with regards to the repatriation of that capital at Yanfeng? And are you currently exploring ways with either Rothschild or whomever to bring that back? Is that something that’s under study?

Don Stebbins

Chairman

No. It is not under study today. Ross Berner – WCM: Okay. Thank you.

Marty Welch

Management

Yeah. There’s no legal barrier to it. It’s a matter of the judgment of the Board of Directors of Yanfeng.
