NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      General — Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation (“Delphi”) is a world-leading supplier of automotive components, integrated systems and modules to the automotive industry. We became a publicly-held company on February 5, 1999 through an initial public offering (the “IPO”), and became independent from General Motors Corporation (“GM”) on May 28, 1999 through the distribution of Delphi shares owned by GM (the “Spin-Off”).

      The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Delphi and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.

      All intercompany transactions and balances between consolidated Delphi businesses have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected from any other interim period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Delphi in the future.

      Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

      Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share amounts were computed using weighted average shares outstanding for each respective period. Diluted earnings per share also reflect the weighted average impact from the date of issuance of all potentially dilutive securities during the periods presented unless the inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. Diluted shares outstanding include the impact of stock options granted, including dilutive securities issued concurrent with the IPO in February 1999 and stock options issued in connection with the concurrent cancellation of GM stock options held by Delphi employees at the date of the Spin-Off. Actual weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share were:

                                 
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30,


2000 1999 2000 1999




(in thousands)
Weighted average shares outstanding 561,620 565,000 562,083 542,901
Effect of dilutive securities 4,109 2,013 3,425 971




Diluted shares outstanding 565,729 567,013 565,508 543,872




      If the 100 million shares issued in the IPO were assumed to be outstanding since January 1, 1999, the weighted average shares outstanding would have been 565 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999. On this basis, basic and diluted earnings per share would have been $1.20 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

      The Delphi Board of Directors declared a dividend on Delphi common stock of $0.07 per share on June 14, 2000, payable on July 25, 2000 to holders of record on June 26, 2000. The dividend declared on March 15, 2000 was paid on April 24, 2000.

      Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  — In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 101 provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. We do not believe that the

6


Table of Contents

implementation of SAB No. 101 in the fourth quarter of 2000 will have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

2.  ACQUISITIONS

     Lucas Diesel Systems

      On January 7, 2000, Delphi purchased Lucas Diesel Systems from TRW Inc. for $0.8 billion, net of cash acquired. Lucas Diesel Systems, now Delphi Diesel Systems, is one of the world’s largest producers of diesel fuel-injection systems for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles with fiscal 1999 sales of approximately $1.1 billion. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, therefore, the purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. The results of operations of Delphi Diesel Systems are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration given over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over 20 years.

      In connection with this acquisition, in the first quarter of 2000, Delphi recognized a one-time, non-cash charge to earnings of $51 million ($32 million after-tax) resulting from acquisition-related in-process research and development that had not reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative use. The acquisition-related in-process research and development primarily related to development of the diesel fuel injector common rail technology for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The fair value of acquisition-related in-process research and development was determined using the income approach. The income approach measures the current value of an asset by calculating the present value of its future economic benefits such as cash earnings, cost savings, tax deductions, and proceeds from disposition. The discount rates used in calculating the present value of the components of the project ranged from 17% to 20%. At the valuation date, there were components of the project at various stages of completion ranging from approximately 30% to 85%. Such components are anticipated to be completed at varying times through 2007 at an estimated cost of approximately $54 million. As of June 30, 2000, the projects were at various stages of completion ranging from approximately 34% to 93%.

      The purchase price of $0.8 billion and the related preliminary purchase price allocation may be revised up to one year from the date of acquisition. Delphi can provide no assurances as to whether any revisions to the purchase price and related preliminary allocation will be significant. Adjustments to the purchase price and related preliminary allocation may occur as a result of obtaining more information regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed, purchase price adjustments pursuant to the purchase agreement and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase. We are evaluating how the acquired operations will be integrated into our overall business strategy and are in the process of developing a plan for restructuring those operations. It is possible that our integration plan, when finalized, will impact the preliminary purchase price allocation.

     Automotive Products Distribution Services

      On February 28, 2000, Delphi completed the acquisition of Automotive Products Distribution Services (APDS). APDS, now Delphi Lockheed Automotive, is a leading European distributor of automotive aftermarket products for passenger cars and commercial vehicles with 1999 sales of $175 million.

5.  SEPARATION RELATED ADJUSTMENTS

      At the time of our separation from GM, several separation related transactions, such as the separation of our hourly pension and other postretirement benefit plans from GM’s, either were not completed or the determination of the financial impacts of such transactions was not finalized. Our initial consolidated balance sheet reflected estimates of the impacts of those separation related transactions.

      As those transactions have been completed, or the effects of such transactions have been finalized, certain adjustments to our initial estimates have been made. The effect of these adjustments has resulted in a reduction to GM’s initial investment in Delphi of $151 million. In conjunction with these adjustments, we have recorded an estimated amount due to GM of $889 million, primarily related to the separation of our hourly pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Those separation related adjustments determined within a one-year period from the date of the Spin-Off are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2000.

7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      Delphi is from time to time subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to its business, including those arising out of alleged defects, breach of contracts, product warranties, employment-related matters and environmental matters. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with certain customers regarding potential warranty claims. Although we believe our established reserves are adequate to cover such warranty claims, the outcome of these discussions is not predictable with assurance. As a result, the final amounts determined to be due related to these matters could differ materially from the recorded estimates. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. After discussions with counsel, it is the opinion of management that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

      In the normal course of business, we extend credit on open account to our customers. From time to time, we also invest in joint ventures with a variety of business partners. Although Delphi is affected by the financial well-being of the automotive industry as a whole, we believe that the credit risk associated with trade receivables and investments in our joint ventures is mitigated by our customer base and ongoing control procedures to monitor the creditworthiness of customers and business partners. As of June 30, 2000, one customer/business partner was experiencing financial challenges. Delphi’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2000 includes accounts receivable of $29 million and investments in joint ventures relating to this customer/business partner, the value of which may be impacted by the future performance of this customer/business partner.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

      Our second quarter 2000 results demonstrate our continued ability to deliver on our financial performance objectives. We added to our strong base of business by increasing non-GM sales 23.9% on a comparable basis over the second quarter of 1999. Our strong cash flows during the first six months of 2000 have allowed us to accomplish our pension funding objectives earlier than planned. In May 2000, we made a $550 million voluntary contribution to the hourly pension fund, which brought Delphi’s pension plans to a fully funded status. In addition, we established an aggressive growth business line structure to support business lines with annual growth potential of 25%-30%, such as Mobile MultiMedia, our high-tech business line that develops products designed to bring the internet, telematics, entertainment and mobile communication technologies into vehicles.

Results of Operations

      The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

     Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

      Net Sales. Consolidated net sales and changes in net sales by product sector and in total for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 were:

Consolidated net sales $ 7,778 $ 7,683 $ 95



      Our consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2000 increased $95 million over the comparable period of 1999. Our increased net sales reflect continued growth in revenue from ongoing operations, strong North American sales and increased European sales, largely as a result of the Delphi Diesel Systems acquisition. Our non-GM sales increased $489 million, 23.9% on a comparable basis, over the second quarter of 1999, while sales to GM declined slightly, principally due to our elimination of marginally profitable and unprofitable product lines. More than half of our non-GM sales growth reflected organic growth. Sales growth from volume and mix improvements was partially offset by unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations primarily related to the Euro devaluation and the impact of continued price pressures that resulted in price reductions of approximately $121 million, or 1.6% for the second quarter of 2000.

      Mobile MultiMedia, our recently established aggressive growth business line, a component of our Electronics & Mobile Communication sector, generated sales growth of 625%, increasing second quarter sales from $8 million in 1999 to $58 million in 2000.

Table of Contents

      Gross Margin. Our gross margin was 17.0% for the second quarter of 2000 compared to gross margin of 16.0% for the comparable period of 1999. The improvement reflects the results of our continuing cost reduction efforts and lean manufacturing initiatives that are being implemented in response to industry pricing pressures. In fact, each of our product sectors achieved material and manufacturing cost savings, which, in the aggregate, exceeded total price reductions during the second quarter of 2000.

      Selling, General and Administrative. Excluding the impact of acquired businesses, selling, general and administrative expense decreased for the second quarter of 2000.

      Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization, compared to 1999 amounts, primarily represents incremental costs related to Delphi Diesel Systems and ongoing capital expenditures.

      Operating Income. Operating income was $683 million for the second quarter of 2000 compared to $629 million for the second quarter of 1999. Our operating income by product sector was:

Total operating income $ 683 $ 629


      The improvement in operating income reflects increased sales as discussed above, continuing cost reduction efforts and the results of the continued rollout of lean manufacturing initiatives around the world. Mobile MultiMedia reported an operating loss of $8 million, reflective of the high level of investment in engineering and research and development related to the start up of this product line.

      Taxes. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2000 was 37% compared to 38% for the comparable period of 1999. The decreased effective income tax rate primarily reflects results from tax planning actions initiated subsequent to the Spin-Off.

      Net Income. Net income totaled $424 million for the second quarter of 2000 compared to $394 million for the second quarter of 1999. This represents a 7.6% increase over 1999.

      Earnings Per Share. Basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.75 for the second quarter of 2000 compared to basic earnings per share of $0.70 and diluted earnings per share of $0.69 for the second quarter of 1999. On a diluted basis, this represents an 8.7% increase over 1999.

Consolidated net sales $ 15,582 $ 15,152 $ 430



      Our consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2000 increased $430 million, or 2.8% over the comparable period of 1999. Our increased sales reflect continued growth in revenue from ongoing operations, as well as acquired operations. Our non-GM sales increased $1.1 billion, 26.8% on a comparable basis, over the first six months of 1999, while sales to GM declined slightly, principally due to our elimination of marginally profitable and unprofitable product lines. More than half of our non-GM sales resulted from organic growth. Sales growth from volume and mix improvements was partially offset by unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations primarily related to the Euro devaluation and the impact of continued price pressures that resulted in price reductions of approximately $250 million, or 1.6% for the first six months of 2000.

      Mobile MultiMedia, our recently established aggressive growth business line, generated sales growth of 500%, increasing sales from $15 million in the first six months of 1999 to $90 million in the comparable period of 2000.

      Gross Margin. Our gross margin was 16.2% for the first six months of 2000 compared to gross margin of 15.2% for the comparable period of 1999. The improvement reflects the results of our continuing cost reduction efforts and lean manufacturing initiatives that are being implemented in response to industry pricing pressures. In fact, each of our product sectors achieved material and manufacturing cost savings, which, in the aggregate, exceeded total price reductions during the first six months of 2000.

      Selling, General and Administrative. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, compared to 1999 amounts, primarily represents incremental costs required as a result of our efforts to pursue business with non-GM customers and expenses related to Delphi Diesel Systems.

      Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization, compared to 1999 amounts, primarily represents incremental costs related to Delphi Diesel Systems and ongoing capital expenditures.

      Operating Income. Operating income for the first six months of 2000 increased $63 million over the comparable period of 1999. Excluding the first quarter one-time, non-cash charge of $51 million resulting from acquisition-related in-process research and development, operating income was $1,200 million, up

Total operating income $ 1,200 $ 1,086


      The improvement in operating income reflects increased sales as discussed above, continuing cost reduction efforts and the results of the continued rollout of lean manufacturing initiatives around the world. Mobile MultiMedia reported an operating loss of $16 million, reflective of the high level of investment in engineering and research and development related to the start up of this product line.

      Taxes. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2000 was 37% compared to 38% for the comparable period of 1999. The decreased effective income tax rate primarily reflects results from tax planning actions initiated subsequent to the Spin-Off.

      Net Income. Net income totaled $714 million for the first six months of 2000 compared to $678 million for the first six months of 1999. Excluding the one-time, non-cash charge of $51 million ($32 million after-tax) resulting from acquisition-related in-process research and development, net income for the first six months of 2000 would have been $746 million, a 10.0% increase over 1999.

      Earnings Per Share. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.27 and $1.26, respectively, for the first six months of 2000. Excluding the one-time, non-cash charge of $51 million ($32 million after-tax) resulting from acquisition-related in-process research and development, diluted earnings per share would have been $1.32 per share compared to $1.25 for the first six months of 1999. If the 100 million shares issued in the IPO were assumed to be outstanding since January 1, 1999, the weighted average shares outstanding would have been 565 million during the first six months of 1999. On this basis, basic and diluted earnings per share would have been $1.20 for the first six months of 1999; therefore, on a comparable basis, diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2000 of $1.32, represents a 10.0% increase over the same 1999 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquidity

      Our net liquidity, measured as cash and cash equivalents less total debt, was $(2.2) billion at June 30, 2000 compared to $(0.2) billion at December 31, 1999. The ratio of our total debt to total capital, which consists of total debt plus stockholders’ equity, was 45.9% at June 30, 2000 and 35.4% at December 31, 1999. The change in our net liquidity and ratio of total debt to total capital was due to our continued generation of strong operating cash flows, offset by uses of cash of $0.9 billion for acquisitions, $1.1 billion for voluntary contributions to our hourly pension plan and advances of $0.7 billion to GM based on estimated amounts due related to separation related adjustments. We believe that our recorded separation related obligations will be adequate to cover any remaining payments to GM for separation related issues. However, we cannot assure you that the actual payments will not materially differ from the

Table of Contents

recorded estimates. As of June 30, 2000, we expect to pay approximately $800 million to GM during the fourth quarter of 2000 for separation related issues.

      Requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and repayment of debt securities are expected to be funded from operations, supplemented as needed by short-term or long-term borrowings available under our commercial paper programs and our Credit Facilities, if required.

      In addition, we are engaged in ongoing discussions with GM regarding potential warranty claims which may be material. However, we believe that our established reserves will be adequate to cover these claims.

     Extension of Payment Terms

      In accordance with a master separation agreement to which Delphi and GM are parties (the “Separation Agreement”), effective January 1, 1999, payment terms for our accounts receivable from GM were modified such that payments are generally due to us on the second day of the second month following the date of shipment by Delphi. Previous payment terms generally required GM to make accounts receivable payments in the month following shipment by Delphi. When the change in payment terms was implemented, our accounts receivable increased by approximately $2.1 billion. In order to mitigate the impact of the change in accounts receivable payment terms, we have successfully extended payment terms with many of our suppliers. Over time, we expect to negotiate similar extended terms with our remaining suppliers.

     Debt Capitalization and Available Financing Sources

      Delphi has two financing arrangements with a syndicate of lenders providing for a maximum of $3.0 billion in available revolving credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”), subject to certain limitations. The terms of the Credit Facilities provide for a five-year revolving credit line in the amount of $1.5 billion, which expires June 2005, and a 364-day revolving credit line in the amount of $1.5 billion, which expires June 2001. As of June 30, 2000, we had no amounts outstanding under our Credit Facilities. Utilizing the Credit Facilities as back-up, Delphi registered $2.5 billion of worldwide commercial paper programs, under which $1.1 billion was outstanding as of June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 2000, we also had $25 million outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit.

     Cash Flows

      Operating Activities.  Net cash used in operating activities was $0.3 billion and $2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The use of cash in the first six months of 2000 included $1.1 billion for voluntary contributions to our hourly pension plan and separation related payments to GM of $0.7 billion related to estimated amounts for retirements above the estimate used in generating the initial allocation of pension and other postretirement benefits. The use of cash in the first six months of 1999 also reflected voluntary pension contributions, the settlement of certain accounts receivable with GM and the change in payment terms described above.

      Investing Activities.  Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $1.5 billion and $0.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The use of cash in the first six months of 2000 reflects the acquisitions of Delphi Diesel Systems and Delphi Lockheed Automotive for $0.9 billion and capital expenditures related to ongoing operations.

      Financing Activities.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 billion compared to $3.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2000 included borrowings under our commercial paper programs used to make separation related payments to GM for pension and other postretirement benefits. Cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 1999 included net borrowings on our short-term and long-term revolving credit facilities and the proceeds from our initial public offering in February 1999. The proceeds from our initial public offering were used for general corporate purposes.

      Dividends.  On June 14, 2000, the Delphi Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on Delphi common stock of $0.07 per share, payable on July 25, 2000 to holders of record on June 26, 2000. The dividend declared on March 15, 2000 was paid on April 24, 2000.

Forward-Looking Statements

      The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Delphi and its representatives may periodically make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking,” including statements included in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in reports to our stockholders. All statements which address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including statements relating to volume growth, awarded sales contracts and earnings per share growth or statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions; as a result, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations will necessarily come to pass. A list of factors which could impact future events and performance is included in the Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and incorporated herein by this reference.
