Please visit www.visteon.com/earnings to download the material if you have not already done so. I would now like to introduce your host for today's conference call, Mr. Bob Krakowiak, Visteon's Vice President, Treasurer and Investor Relations. Mr. Krakowiak, you may begin.

Thank you, Tiffany. Good morning, everyone. With us today are Tim Leuliette, Visteon's President and Chief Executive Officer; and Jeff Stafeil, Visteon's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. We appreciate your interest in our company and for taking the time to join us to review the first quarter of 2014. We have scheduled the conference call for an hour and will open the lines for your questions after Tim and Jeff's commentary. As mentioned, the presentation materials associated with today's call are posted on visteon.com within the Investors section. Also note that our Form 10-Q was filed earlier this morning with the news release. Again, thank you for joining us. And now, I will turn it over to Tim.

Thank you, Bob, and thank you all for joining us this morning. As you know, we announced the earnings this morning. In addition to announcing earnings this morning, we also announced the initiation of a $500 million accelerated stock buyback plan, which will be executed -- the documents have been executed, then will commence upon the window opening, approximately on the 13th. So that, combined with the announcement of JCI Electronics purchase this quarter, the sale of Interiors, the refinancing, et cetera, it was a fairly busy quarter, so we have a lot to talk about. So let's immediately go to the slides. Let's go to Page 2. As we said, the solid first quarter financial sales were just under $2 billion, up 7% versus the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $170 million, up 21%. But what's surprising and what's comforting behind that is the headwind of exchange that we overcame. There was $18 million of exchange headwind year-over-year, primarily in the Climate business. Combined, it's rupee, ruble, Argentinian peso and the strengthening of the won, which impacted our sales in other currencies. About $12 million of that was reval/deval, which is sometimes more of a onetime event. But again, major exchange events occurred -- many major exchange events occurred in the first quarter, which we overcame. In addition, on the Electronics side, Electronics came in better than expected. There were some onetime events there, which improved already an improving position, a little bit more so than what we would expect our average to be through the year. But all in all, a very solid quarter, overcame some exchange issues, and we were pleased with the performance. Adjusted net income of $31 million, earnings per share of $0.63 a share, positive adjusted free cash flow of $64 million, you can…

Great. Thanks, Tim. Good morning, everyone. I'll start my comments on Page 17. On this slide, we present our key financial results for first quarter 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. As we have explained on prior calls, our financial results are impacted by a number of items that make year-over-year comparisons difficult. The adjusted financial information presented on this slide excludes these items and represents how we manage our business internally. As non-GAAP financial measures, this adjusted financial information is reconciled to U.S. GAAP financials in the attached appendix on Pages 32 through 34. Additionally, year-over-year comparisons are impacted by the sale of our YFV Interiors business and the consolidation of the Yanfeng Visteon Electronics operation. The consolidation of YFVE explains much of the year-over-year growth in sales, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A and adjusted EBITDA. The increase in our adjusted SG&A was largely the result of our YFVE transaction, but was also impacted by currency and the loss of a billing arrangement with our former lighting business that ended in mid-2013. Adjusted SG&A as a percent of sales in the first quarter 2014 was slightly better than the full year 2013 percentage. The decrease in our adjusted EPS is more than explained by 3 items: A noncash tax benefit of $54 million in the first quarter of 2013; lower equity income, primarily related to the sale of our Yanfeng Visteon Interiors operation; and higher noncontrolling interest, primarily due to the consolidation of our climate operations under HVCC and the consolidation of YFVE. The 3 items together negatively impacted first quarter 2014 adjusted EPS by $2.12. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS increased $0.73 year-over-year. Adjusted free cash flow was $64 million, $31 million lower than last year. The decrease is more than explained by lower trade working…

Thank you, Tim and Jeff. Tiffany, please open the phone line for questions.

[Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from the line of Brian Johnson with Barclays.

[indiscernible] but I want to kind of more focus on the revenue side. In the Electronics business, it was flat, excluding the consolidation. Can you give us, underneath that, some sense of the interplay between global production growth, roll-on of new contracts, roll-off of old contracts, the impact of body electronics, if there's any there, and then just how do you see that revenue growth changing on an organic basis once you start integrating, a, before you integrate in JCI, then after the JCI integration?

Brian, there's lots of good questions in there. As it relates to 2014 in general, if you recall, we had said we were giving our guidance way back when -- that Electronics, 2014 was a bit of a soft year. There's a lot of transition, there's a lot of, let's say, turnover on some of the customer programs. And 2015 was going to be a much larger sales increase year. That being said, the first quarter definitely had some weakness in it from, particularly South America and Europe, on our programs in Electronics. As you look forward to the balance of this year, we do expect some uplift versus last year in just the core Electronics business. But the real growth will really kick in, in 2015 on that area.

We were comfortable with the long-term CAGR. But as we said, I think, back in January, there is annual dynamics to that CAGR, and '14 was not one of the stronger years of the cycle; '13 was a good year for us, '15 is going to be a good year for us.

Okay. And then -- I was just going add in to the last part, or at least address it. Once we bring in -- once we close in the JCI acquisition, we'll give you guidance and give you a better look at what we look like combined. So I think you asked the question about what we look like, which is...

Yes, so you can't really talk about what their backlog's looking at until you actually, I guess, bring it underneath your legal ownership?

Correct.

Correct.

Correct. But I think...

So I guess -- go ahead, Tim. Sorry.

So I was just saying, Brian, is that we clearly are very comfortable with the long-term direction of this business, intermediate to long term, both strong. Order book is good. So there is -- as Jeff said, South America was a little weak, Europe had some soft spots. But one quarter is -- we're seeing some of those alleviate themselves, especially the European side, as we go forward for the rest of the year.

Okay. And in those soft spots, are they just model-specific, production-specific? Or is it anything to do with take rates bearing on the stuff that you have in their cars?

Some of them are markets, generic market issue, of just soft market, in South America in particular.

And on some of the vehicle programs we're on. But as we look forward to releases, we do see a little bit of improvement in the next few quarters.

Okay. And I guess, just final question, sort of mid- to longer-term growth. Your OpenSynergy and some of the other relationships that have come on since Marty joined you, can you give us maybe an update on those? I mean, we know the broad outlines of those, but more particularly, in terms of maybe it's too early for backlog, but either customer discussions or quoting activity around those.

Both Autonet and OpenSynergy are now engaged components of our product portfolio offerings as we go to the marketplace. Marty is now in Europe. We have major customer program -- presentations. Basically, if you will, the Electronics piece that you saw in the New York Investor Day has been now shipped to Europe, and we're taking key customers through that, and then obviously, also expanding some of the connected car opportunities. And also to support that, Marty and I spent a week in Silicon Valley, 3 weeks ago now, meeting with some of our already, current investors looking -- excuse me, at our current invested companies, companies we've invested in already, as well as some potential additional ones as we expand that connected car footprint, and we met with some key customers out there. So I see a lot of traction. I think we've had probably more intensity with customers over the last 60 days than we've had in a long time. As the vision of JCI's combination with us, together as a combined larger entity, and the broad definition of what connected car is going to mean to us, has resonated with the OEMs. There is nobody here that is a logical consolidator in this place. It's going to be, as we've said before, suppliers taking pieces that make sense for them, and the cockpit ecosystem is one that clearly makes for us. We had one of the senior analysts out in the West Coast come back and said, "You know, no matter who we talk to, no matter if the information is leaving the car or coming into the car, it has to go through you at Visteon." So I said, "We see Visteon as being kind of a critical node in this connected car expansion that's going on." As you know, as we've talked about our guidance and our vision and our revenue targets, we said the connected car was icing on a cake. The cake to us is quite strong. The cake looks quite good. The issue of the growth in cockpit ecosystems by itself is a very strong and attractive market for us. But we're seeing the underpinnings of this other stuff start to work its way into discussion and dialogue. So we will update kind of that vision and that story once we can talk more publicly about the JCI acquisition, but we're feeling fairly comfortable about what the story is and how it's being received.

Your next question comes from the line of Itay Michaeli with Citi.

This is actually Justin Barell on behalf of Itay. Just hoping to get some incremental color with regards to the Interiors net book loss of $250 million to $300 million. Is that kind of the stub revenue that you guys are believing would be kind of divested post year, relative to 2013? Or how should we think about that?

It's primarily the writing off the net asset value of the business.

Got you. And then just on Climate. For the $350 million of incremental net wins, what's the time span for that period? How should we think about that? I know that there's some upside, it looks like, to '16. Is that kind of a 3-year award out from there? Or what's the cadence of that?

You're going back and looking at...

I would -- yes, I would still say, Justin, the guidance we gave and how we balance -- I'm going to get the Deutsche Bank presentation back in January. We gave you sort of a 3-year look at what revenue and the backlog stacked up to be. That's probably still the best one to do. We can obviously influence a little bit on 2016 with some of the awards we win in the first part of 2014, and that's what you see reflected on that Page 13.

Page 13, the upper right-hand corner.

Yes, but for the most part, the Deutsche Bank guidance would probably still be the operative ones for the out years.

Okay, got you. And then for Electronics in the YFVE, how should we kind of think about the revenue CAGR and margins on that kind of business on a go-forward basis?

Yes, well, as I mentioned, the first quarter -- there's a couple of timing events that certainly benefited it. I don't think I think of 13% margin as a go-forward, at least, right away. We'll obviously work to improve the margins over time. The -- that business is a strong business. It will definitely lift our overall Electronics margins, and you've seen that really in the last couple of quarters here. And the bulk of -- there's definitely growth in this business in 2014. You'll see more growth in 2015 and 2016.

Perfect. And then...

We also gave guidance back in the Deutsche conference about the growth in the Electronics business as well, so I think we're comfortable with that.

Okay, perfect. And then just one last final follow-up question. I believe you mentioned earlier on the call, the ASB something with May 13, did I hear that correctly or...?

That's correct. That's when the blackout period ends because of the quarterly earnings date.

Your next question comes from the line of Colin Langan with UBS.

[indiscernible] will get moved into discontinued operations? And also, I believe...

Colin, you were -- you kind of, at least, came onto our line, sort of mid-sentence. Maybe you can start again?

Sure, sorry. Any color on when Interiors will get moved into discontinued operations? And also, I think in prior presentations, you had said that Interiors was about a $0.45 earnings headwind for this year. Is that still the accurate number when we're looking at that, when that comes out, in terms of moving to discontinued op?

Yes, your question on the movement time, we'll put at least the majority of the Interiors business in discontinued operations in the second quarter. And the guidance for that $0.45 were certainly for all 3 parts of our Interiors operation for 2014, but it's still the operative number. I'd still use that number for your model.

But today's guidance hasn't been updated for...

Correct. It's early in the year, I guess, first. Second is, we know we're going to need to re-update guidance when we complete and close on the JCI transaction. And at that point, we'll reflect the Interiors as well.

Okay, that makes sense. And any -- can you just make sure I understand the ASR. I mean, when you said 80% upfront, is that the $500 million at the current stock price? Or is that based on 80% of the anticipated buyback price?

Yes, essentially, the current stock price is what we're thinking. $400 million of shares, give or take, on the current price we're expecting by the end of May to have deliveries. It will depend a bit on share price movements between now and then, but that's what we expect.

Okay, that's very helpful. And you mentioned -- you talked a lot about the currency issues. And it did actually look like, from the U.S. to won, actually it didn't seem to move too much within the quarter. So what were the major won issues? And then, it actually seems to have moved a lot after the quarter. So is that something that's going to be a worse of a headwind as we go forward?

Yes, Colin, a couple of things there. One of the -- the biggest portion, we said it was $18 million year-over-year difference. $12 million of that was the revaluation of just all your working capital accounts effectively at the end of the period. And if you -- so that portion of that, I don't think will have as big of an impact in the rest of the year. The operating exchange certainly will move around the currency. And in particular, if you think about our HVCC operation, there's a lot of common supplies and some parts -- some subassemblies that we make in Korea and then ship to our locations in, let's say, India or Russia or Thailand or other spots around the world. So it's not just the won to the dollar. It's effectively the won to all those other currencies, where in India, you're getting paid in rupee and you're having some portion of your cost base that is still in won, and that's what that reflects. I do think that the first quarter was abnormally large of an impact, from at least what we expect, even with the current exchange rates as of today. But certainly, with the won down about under a 1030, it certainly is not a helpful element for us. But I don't expect the same level of impact that we saw in the first quarter.

Okay. And just one last question. Any update on your strategic thoughts within Climate? You've mentioned in the past you'd be a consolidator and you've also thrown out the idea of maybe increasing your stake in Halla and set up for a potential tax-free spinoff. Are those things that you're still considering? Any color on the market outlook for those type of transactions?

Yes, I don't think we want to add any more to what we said in the past, other than to say that we fully understand, fully expect that we're going to need to address the balance sheet at HVCC in one form or another, as it's underlevered. As we've said earlier, the amount of cash we have currently and the magnitude of the stock buyback made it inappropriate for us to go throw a lot more cash in our balance sheet right now that we couldn't put to work quickly, whether we wanted to lever up or whatever we want to do. I think we're proud and pleased, I should say, with the forecast of HVCC. If there are some opportunities to do some acquisitions that are both strategic and economically viable, we clearly would be interested in doing so. So I think at this point, just from a sheer workload and focus perspective, and just from a management perspective, let's get us through this JCI consolidation and then we can start talking more about HVCC later in the year.

Your next question comes from the line of Ryan Brinkman with JPMorgan. Ryan J. Brinkman - JP Morgan Chase & Co, Research Division: I understand that your full year guidance is unchanged and I know you don't guide the quarter, but as we look across our auto parts coverage, every company that does guide to the quarter generally beat their guidance in 1Q. So I'm curious if maybe you can just share how you performed relative to your own expectations in the quarter? And then maybe if you did do a little bit better, while it might not be prudent to raise full year guidance at this stage, whether there could in fact be some sort of upward pressure on the full year after the strong 1Q?

I would say that we're pleased with the quarter. But the reason why we typically don't want to address, especially now, is no matter what we do this quarter, we got to change it next quarter, just because of the action items of the transaction. So we're not continuing to move the number here. We're comfortable with the quarter, we're comfortable with our guidance. Pleased with the quarter, but let us get the other transactions to the point where we can embed them into our revised guidance, and then we can talk about all the aspects, which is the impact of the revisions and how we see this quarter and other quarters impacting any need to revise the absolute guidance. It's just an issue of not just jerking you guys around each quarter with changes in numbers, because we know it's coming. Ryan J. Brinkman - JP Morgan Chase & Co, Research Division: Okay. Yes, that's certainly fair. And then a follow-up to sort of Colin's question on Climate M&A. And I sort of -- I guess it sort of relates to your response there, that there's a lot of balls in the air relative to M&A right now, let's kind of get past those. But how do you get past those? According to pie charts that you've shown, there's quite a bit of distance between you and the #3 competitor in HVAC, but also quite a lot of distance between you and the #1 competitor. You've got pretty much all the best technology, right? I think you've mentioned some compressor technology in the past being interesting. But what would getting bigger benefit you at this stage? Is it like customer diversification, geographic diversification? If you were to go from like, 13% of HVAC market to 20%, does that scale? Potentially, is that somehow a game-changer in profitability?

I think, always, when you can leverage your fixed cost, your overhead in the engineering side by adding customers, it's good. We, as you know, have sought to get better customer diversity for HVCC, and that is one of the goals. I will say that -- the other thing I've mentioned in the past was that we have to look at the management team itself and say, look at the -- just organic growth and the opportunities that exist there. And you saw the facility launches that are existing on that one chart in the deck. You combine that with the opportunities you see in the marketplace, the question becomes, "Do we achieve our goals with organic growth and the investment of capital to business platforms that are quite attractive when we see some share opportunities with just the market coming to us, or do we have to go buy something to step functionally change that situation?" And right now, it's a high-class problem, but it's still a problem. We're going to be looking at those options. We're very pleased with the customer reaction to some of the new technologies. And I think I've spoken in the past about the European legislative issues and how that's impacting us. So we're seeing a lot of organic opportunity. And this is going to be not driven by financial resources because we've got -- clearly, the financial resources to do what we want to do. The question is going to be, what is the pace of the cadence for which we can launch and expand the business in a comfortable manner? That's kind of the issue on the table. But as I said, we've got some time to assess that, and I would suspect that we'll be talking more about HVCC later in the year as we make some decisions on that front. Ryan J. Brinkman - JP Morgan Chase & Co, Research Division: Okay, that's very helpful. And just very last question from me, on the $125 million in 2014, the free cash flow guidance. I'm curious if -- I think this would be helpful for us as we look out to the next year, if you could sort of talk about what that guidance would be, if not for Interiors, just because I think Interiors is probably a disproportionate, I'm guessing, user of your cash restructuring this year.

Yes. We will -- certainly, this year is going to have a lot of noise in it, Ryan, as we're acquiring a business, we're selling some businesses in Interiors. Next year, we'll certainly have a -- we gave a guidance on that or sort of a farther-out vision in 2017, I think, at Deutsche Bank, of what we look like there. We'll come out and start to give better views of what we look like without Interiors. But the first real clean year from cash flow or much cleaner year, will be 2015. But we'll try to steer you -- we'll take that guidance and we'll try to steer you a little bit more of what Interiors' impact is to us in the future.

Not to sort of get things ahead of ourselves here, but I think that the January Deutsche Conference 2015 is going to be an interesting conference for all of us, because that'll be the first time you will see this new Visteon clean for a year, all the dynamics of the transactions and what have you, transitions behind us. And looking at the Halla Visteon Climate piece stable -- it already is, but now, the Visteon Electronics piece with JCI, the combined order books and the synergy impacts, where you'll see really that footprint of that new Visteon. And we're looking forward to that conference.

Your next question comes from the line of Chris Van Horn with FBR Capital Markets. Christopher Van Horn - FBR Capital Markets & Co., Research Division: Just a couple of questions on the pipeline, if you will. Is there any specific products or programs that really stand out for you guys, both in Climate and Electronics? And then on the $350 million in new wins, was that driven by a few customers, one customer or product line? If you could just give a little more detail around that, that'd be great.

There's no one single program that is the bulk or magnitude of that growth. It is across the board, and it comes in really 3 buckets. One, we're seeing content increases on existing customers, just because of the nature of the technology adding features and adding content, or bringing technologies that didn't exist. But we're also seeing an expanded footprint in both Europe and Japan, because of new customers. And then, I would say, in the latter part there, there's -- we're seeing traditional customers for which their products are moving more upmarket. You're seeing added, not technology content, but if you will, but just traditional content increase on new products in India and some of the more emerging markets, because those vehicles are maturing. So all of that is combining with that sale. We have targeted some nontraditional customers of ours for which we anticipate some, perhaps, expansion there, but none of that is in that business, that's been stated as of yet. But this is primarily Europe and Japan driven more than anything else. Christopher Van Horn - FBR Capital Markets & Co., Research Division: Okay, great. And then assuming the JCI, Visteon combination, will there be kind of a development pipeline coming out of that combination? And what -- or will it be kind of enhancements to existing products? How do you kind of visualize that playing out?

Well, 2 things. One, we're bringing platforms to the market, they're bringing platforms to the market, for the most part over the next 24 to 36 months. Those things are in process. What we're trying to do very quickly is to combine activities. A case in point, we were not a major player in heads-up displays; they are. So therefore, we're going to quickly utilize their heads-up display as our product array in that space, use that as an example. So we'll quickly integrate that into ours and eliminate our initiative and utilize theirs. There are some other subsegments along that line that work both ways, where they'll eliminate an initiative because we already have it or vice versa. The platforms that we launched in the Consumer Electronics Show, that are the OpenAir for our infotainment package and the LightScape for the programmable clusters, will be the primary platforms going forward that we will lead with in the post-'17 timeframe. Variants of that and different variants of those. And that will be -- both companies will be utilizing those platforms for their new product offerings. So the synergies that come quickly are more the efficiencies in the engineering side, because with the growth that we're seeing, we would otherwise be in the market for engineering that we don't need to be in because we now have got a combined engineering workforce that we'll utilize more efficiency -- efficiently. There'll be some manufacturing synergies that come onboard, but that'll take approximately a year as we consolidate where we need to be. Not a lot of that, but some of that. And of course, there's obviously immediately some SG&A synergies because we're now bringing the overhead that the company had before as part of JCI. So that's the early pop. The product technology and capabilities will be combined fairly quickly, but those will impact only those programs we're quoting for the future.

Your final question comes from the line of Kirk Ludtke with CRT Capital Group.

I just had a couple of quick follow-ups on Interiors and Slide 5 in particular. Could you expand a little bit on what has to happen between here and closing? And do you need any approvals, are your customers onboard, et cetera? And then also maybe expand on the financing that needs to be raised, and particularly, the seller -- the potential for a seller -- some type of seller financing here?

Yes, let me start with the last one. We -- it's important to us, Kirk, to make sure this business is going to be well-capitalized as it left us. And I think as we worked with the Cerberus team, we found a transaction that met everyone's interest and did provide comfort. What -- specifically, what we agreed to on that financing is that they would have $90 million of financing available at close, primarily from things like factoring. And if you think about it today, there's already a factoring arrangement in France for that business who can expand that. To the degree we weren't able to get to sort of what we had as a target level, which we had as $90 million, Visteon would give them sort of a last-use revolver liquidity for the difference. So if we raised $75 million, we would give them $15 million of a revolver to be used after essentially the other stuff was used -- drawn. And we would be repaid before those things were repaid effectively.

Okay. That's helpful.

Yes. And I mean, our anticipation is to very much minimize that amount to the degree that there's anything on it at close. As far as things that need to happen, I'd say your regulator -- regular approvals, customary approvals, and we'll say, the timing is primarily putting this thing in, let's say, late Q3, early Q4, is primarily due to some carve-outs and some other things we need to do from a legal entity standpoint between now and then.

Interesting, I appreciate it. And then it's -- I thought maybe these plants would go back to your customers. It's really interesting to see private equity getting involved in the space again. Do you have any thoughts on the interest that you got in the business that you could share with us?

I would say this, that the private equity interest was greater, obviously, the last year than it was 2 years ago. I think there is an understanding in the segment that there's some consolidation necessary. There'll be some catalyst for that consolidation. Private equity typically plays a role as a catalyst for that type of action. And I think now, given where we think where we see Europe as being, not necessarily recovering significantly, but not getting worse, so therefore there's a planning horizon that you can sort of have some comfort in. You're starting to see more action there, and I think that's why we took our time and paced this, to put together what we believe was the right answer, not only from a Visteon perspective, but from these assets going forward. This is a good business in the right hands combined with other assets, because it's got some good IP. It's just not sufficient critical mass for us, nor is it a core segment for us, but it is for someone, and this company is going to leave with a damn good balance sheet and capability to compete. And this story is not over. We see this continuing, and a consolidation of that space occurring because the timing's right. And as they always say, timing is everything. But we see timing as being right in the segment now for consolidation.

Thanks, Kirk, and thanks everyone for all of your questions. And with that, I'd like to thank everyone for your participation in the call and for your time and interest in Visteon. I'd like to turn it over to Tim for his final comments.

Well, thank you, Bob. And again, I want to thank all of you for your support and interest in the company over this, the timeframe. I think this quarter is an interesting quarter for us, because it's not just an economic event for us to post earnings and to achieve certain targets, but it also -- the structural elements that occurred this quarter are critical to us going forward. So again, we were pleased with the quarter, we look forward to the rest of the year. And as the year progresses, we will obviously keep you updated and quickly as to the closing of JCI, the integration of that, how it impacts our guidance, and as we said, rolling Interiors off into disc op. So again, thank you all. We appreciate your interest in the company, and we'll talk to you again next quarter. Thank you.

This concludes today's conference call. You may now disconnect.
