ITEM 1. BUSINESS
PART I
“Delphi,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Delphi Automotive PLC, a public limited company which was
formed under the laws of Jersey on May 19, 2011, together with its subsidiaries, including Delphi Automotive LLP, a limited
liability partnership incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Delphi Automotive LLP”) which was formed on
August 19, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring certain assets and subsidiaries of the former Delphi Corporation, and became a
subsidiary of Delphi Automotive PLC in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on November
22, 2011. The former Delphi Corporation (now known as DPH Holdings Corp. (“DPHH”)) and, as the context may require, its
subsidiaries and affiliates, are also referred to herein as “Old Delphi.”
We are a leading global technology company serving the automotive sector. We design and manufacture vehicle
components and provide electrical and electronic, powertrain and active safety technology solutions to the global automotive
and commercial vehicle markets. We are one of the largest vehicle component manufacturers, and our customers include all 25
of the largest automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the world. We operate 126 major manufacturing
facilities and 15 major technical centers utilizing a regional service model that enables us to efficiently and effectively serve our
global customers from low cost countries. We have a presence in 46 countries and have over 20,000 scientists, engineers and
technicians focused on developing market relevant product solutions for our customers.
We are focused on growing and improving the profitability of our businesses, and have implemented a strategy designed
to position Delphi to deliver industry-leading long-term shareholder returns. This strategy includes disciplined investing in our
business to grow and enhance our product offerings, strategically focusing our portfolio in high-technology, high-growth spaces
in order to meet consumer preferences and leveraging an industry-leading cost structure to expand our operating margins. In
line with the long term growth in emerging markets, we have been increasing our focus on these markets, particularly China,
where we have a major manufacturing base, including investments in 6 new manufacturing facilities since 2012, and strong
customer relationships. Our strategy also includes maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet with investment grade credit
ratings.
Website Access to Company’s Reports
Delphi’s website address is delphi.com. Our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current
reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with, or
furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our History
In October 2005, Old Delphi and certain of its United States (“U.S.”) subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for
reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Old Delphi's non-U.S. subsidiaries, which
were not included in the Chapter 11 Filings, continued their business operations without supervision from the Bankruptcy Court
and were not subject to the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code. On October 6, 2009 (the “Acquisition Date”), Delphi
Automotive LLP acquired the major portion of the business of Old Delphi and issued membership interests to a group of
investors consisting of certain lenders to Old Delphi, General Motors Company (“GM”) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (the “PBGC”). On March 31, 2011, all of the outstanding Class A and Class C membership interests held by GM
and the PBGC were redeemed, respectively, for approximately $4.4 billion.
On May 19, 2011, Delphi Automotive PLC was formed as a Jersey public limited company, and had nominal assets, no
liabilities and had conducted no operations prior to its initial public offering. On November 22, 2011, in conjunction with the
completion of its initial public offering by the selling shareholders, all of the outstanding equity of Delphi Automotive LLP was
exchanged by its equity holders for ordinary shares in Delphi Automotive PLC. As a result, Delphi Automotive LLP became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Delphi Automotive PLC.

Our Company
We believe the automotive industry is being shaped by increasing government regulations for vehicle safety, fuel
efficiency and emissions control, as well as rapidly increasing consumer demand for connectivity. These industry mega-trends,
which we refer to as “Safe,” “Green” and “Connected,” are driving higher growth in products that address these trends than
growth in the automotive industry overall. We have organized our business into three diversified segments, which enable us to
develop solutions and manufacture highly-engineered products that enable our customers to respond to these mega-trends:
• Electrical/Electronic Architecture—This segment provides complete design of the vehicle’s electrical architecture,
including connectors, wiring assemblies and harnesses, electrical centers and hybrid high voltage and safety
distribution systems. Our products provide the critical electrical and electronics backbone that supports increased
vehicle content and electrification, reduced emissions and higher fuel economy through weight savings.
• Powertrain Systems—This segment provides systems integration of full end-to-end gasoline and diesel engine
management systems including fuel handling, fuel injection, combustion, electronic controls, test and validation
capabilities, electric and hybrid electric vehicle power electronics, aftermarket, and original equipment services. We
design solutions to optimize powertrain power and performance while helping our customers meet new emissions and
fuel economy regulations.
• Electronics and Safety—This segment provides critical components, systems and advanced software for passenger
safety, security, comfort and infotainment, as well as vehicle operation, including body controls, infotainment and
connectivity systems, passive and active safety electronics, autonomous driving technologies and displays, as well as
advanced development of software. Our products integrate and optimize electronic content, which improves fuel
economy, reduces emissions, increases safety and provides occupant infotainment and connectivity.
We previously reported the results of our former Thermal Systems business as a segment. The Thermal Systems business
provided powertrain cooling and heating, ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”) systems, such as compressors, systems
and controls, and heat exchangers for vehicle markets. As part of our strategy to focus on a high-growth product portfolio, and
as further described in Note 25. Discontinued Operations to the audited consolidated financial statements herein, we completed
the sale of the wholly owned Thermal Systems business to MAHLE GmbH ("MAHLE") on June 30, 2015. The assets and
liabilities, operating results and operating and investing cash flows for the previously reported Thermal Systems segment are
presented as discontinued operations separate from the Company’s continuing operations for all periods presented. Our
description and discussion of financial amounts within this Item 1. Business reflect the results of continuing operations, unless
otherwise noted.
Financial Information about Business Segments
We operate our core business along three operating segments, which are grouped on the basis of similar product, market

Refer to Results of Operations by Segment in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 23. Segment
Reporting of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data of this Annual Report for further financial information about business segments.
Our business is diversified across end-markets, regions, customers, vehicle platforms and products. Our customer base
includes all 25 of the largest automotive OEMs in the world, and in 2016, 26% of our net sales came from the Asia Pacific
region, which we have identified as a key market likely to experience substantial long-term growth. Our ten largest platforms in
2016 were with six different OEMs. In addition, in 2016 our products were found in 18 of the 20 top-selling vehicle models in
the United States, in 18 of the 20 top-selling vehicle models in Europe and in 15 of the 20 top-selling vehicle models in China.
We have diversified our business into the commercial vehicle market, which is typically on a different business cycle than the
light vehicle market. In addition, approximately 6% of our 2016 net sales were to the aftermarket, which meets the ongoing
need for replacement parts required for vehicle servicing.
5
We have established a worldwide design and manufacturing footprint with a regional service model that enables us to
efficiently and effectively serve our global customers from low cost countries. This regional model is structured primarily to
service the North American market from Mexico, the South American market from Brazil, the European market from Eastern
Europe and North Africa, and the Asia Pacific market from China. Our global scale and regional service model enables us to
engineer globally and execute regionally to serve the largest OEMs, which are seeking suppliers that can serve them on a
worldwide basis. Our footprint also enables us to adapt to the regional design variations the global OEMs require and serve the
emerging market OEMs.
Our Industry
The automotive parts industry provides components, systems, subsystems and modules to OEMs for the manufacture of
new vehicles, as well as to the aftermarket for use as replacement parts for current production and older vehicles. Overall, we
expect long-term growth of global vehicle sales and production in the OEM market. In 2016, the industry experienced increased
global customer sales and production schedules. Compared to 2015, vehicle production in 2016 increased by 2% in North
America, 3% in Europe and 15% in China. As a result of persisting economic weakness in South America, there was a decline
of 12% in South American vehicle production in 2016 compared to 2015, which followed a 19% decrease in that region in
2015. Demand for automotive components in the OEM market is generally a function of the number of new vehicles produced
in response to consumer demand, which is primarily driven by macro-economic factors such as credit availability, interest rates,
fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment and other trends. Although OEM demand is tied to actual vehicle production,
participants in the automotive parts industry also have the opportunity to grow through increasing product content per vehicle
by further penetrating business with existing customers and in existing markets, gaining new customers and increasing their
presence in global markets. We believe that as a company with a global presence and advanced technology, engineering,
manufacturing and customer support capabilities, we are well-positioned to benefit from these opportunities.
We believe that continuously increasing societal demands have created the three “mega-trends” that serve as the basis for
the next wave of market-driven automotive technology advancement. Our challenge is to continue developing leading edge
technology focused on addressing these mega-trends, and apply that technology toward products with sustainable margins that
enable our customers, both OEMs and others, to produce distinctive market-leading products. We have identified a core
portfolio of products that draw on our technical strengths and align with these mega-trends where we believe we can provide
differentiation to our automotive, commercial vehicle and aftermarket customers.
Safe. The first mega-trend, “Safe,” represents technologies aimed not just at protecting vehicle occupants when
a crash occurs, but those that actually proactively reduce the risk of a crash occurring. OEMs continue to focus on
improving occupant and pedestrian safety in order to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements in various
markets, such as a notice issued by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which updated its
five-star rating system to include automatic emergency braking systems as a recommended safety technology,
beginning with model year 2018. As a result, suppliers are focused on developing technologies aimed at protecting
vehicle occupants when a crash occurs, as well as advanced driver assistance systems that reduce driver distractions
and automated safety features that proactively mitigate the risk of a crash occurring. Examples of new and
alternative technologies that incorporate sophisticated detection and advanced software for collision avoidance
include lane departure warning systems, adaptive cruise control, gesture control and automatic braking.
Green. The second mega-trend, “Green,” represents technologies designed to help reduce emissions, increase
fuel economy and minimize the environmental impact of vehicles. Green is a key mega-trend today because of the
convergence of several issues: climate change, volatility in oil prices, an increasing number of vehicles in use
worldwide and recent and pending regulation in the U.S. and overseas regarding fuel economy and carbon dioxide
emissions. OEMs continue to focus on improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions in order to meet
increasingly stringent regulatory requirements in various markets. On a worldwide basis, the relevant authorities in
the European Union, the United States, China, India, Japan, Brazil, South Korea and Argentina have already
instituted regulations requiring further reductions in emissions and/or increased fuel economy through 2016. In
many cases, other authorities have initiated legislation or regulation that would further tighten the standards
through 2020 and beyond. Based on the current regulatory environment, we believe that OEMs, including those in
the U.S. and China, will be subject to requirements for even greater reductions in carbon dioxide ("CO2") emissions
over the next ten years. These standards will require meaningful innovation as OEMs and suppliers are forced to
find ways to improve engine management, electrical power consumption, vehicle weight and integration of
alternative powertrains (e.g., electric/hybrid propulsion). As a result, suppliers are developing innovations that
result in significant improvements in fuel economy, emissions and performance from gasoline and diesel internal
combustion engines, and permit engine downsizing without loss of performance. At the same time, suppliers are
also developing and marketing new and alternative technologies that support hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles and
fuel cell products to improve fuel economy and emissions. Delphi is pioneering the electrification of internal
combustion powertrains through the addition of hybrid technology, which will allow for further engine downsizing
6
by providing more power for intelligent driving. In 2016, Delphi introduced its 48-volt, mild hybrid vehicle
solution, which maximizes the use of 48-volt electrification to minimize the demand on the engine, improving
engine performance while lowering CO2 emissions by more than 10%.
Connected. The third mega-trend, “Connected,” represents technologies designed to seamlessly integrate the
highly complex electronic world in which automotive consumers live into the cars they drive, so that time in a
vehicle is more productive and enjoyable. The technology content of vehicles continues to increase as consumers
demand greater safety, personalization, infotainment, productivity and convenience while driving, which in turn
leads to increasing demand for electrical architecture as a foundation for this content. Also with increased smart
device usage in vehicles, driver distractions can be dramatically increased, which in turn results in greater risk of
accidents. Delphi is pioneering vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication
technologies which enable vehicles to detect and signal danger, reducing vehicle collisions and improving driver
safety, while also maintaining connectivity to an increasing number of devices inside and outside of vehicles.
We expect these mega-trends to continue to create growth and opportunity for us. We believe we are well-positioned to
provide solutions and products to OEMs to expand the electronic and technological content of their vehicles. We also believe
electronics integration, which generally refers to products and systems that combine integrated circuits, software algorithms,
sensor technologies and mechanical components within the vehicle will allow OEMs to achieve substantial reductions in weight
and mechanical complexity, resulting in easier assembly, enhanced fuel economy, improved emissions control and better
vehicle performance.
Convergence of Safe, Green and Connected Solutions in Autonomous Driving
The combination of advanced technologies being developed within these mega-trends is also contributing to increasing
industry development of autonomous driving technologies, leading to a fully automated driving experience. We expect
automated driving technologies will provide strong societal benefit as well as the opportunity for long-term growth for our
product offerings in this space. Societal benefits of increased vehicle automation include enhanced safety (resulting from
collision avoidance and improved vehicle control), environmental improvements (a reduction in CO2 emissions through
optimized driving behavior), labor cost savings and improved productivity (as a result of alternate uses for drive time). Growth
opportunities in this space result from increased content, additional computing power and software requirements, enhanced
connectivity systems and increased electrification and interconnects. We believe the complexity of these systems will also
require on-going software support services, as these vehicle systems will be continuously upgraded with new features and
performance enhancements.
We are continuing to invest in the automated driving space, and have continued to develop market-leading automated
driving platform solutions such as automated driving software, key active safety sensing technologies and our Multi-Domain
Controller, which fuses information from sensing systems as well as mapping and navigation data to make driving decisions.
We believe we are well-aligned with industry technology trends that will result in sustainable future growth in this space. For
example, in 2016 we entered into a collaborative arrangement with Mobileye N.V. to jointly develop the Centralized Sensing
Localization and Planning ("CSLP") system, a complete turn-key fully autonomous driving platform for our OEM customers,
with the goal of being production ready for 2019. We also believe the increasing societal demand for mobility on demand
("MoD") services will accelerate the development of autonomous driving technologies, strongly benefiting the MoD space. For
example, in 2016 we entered into an agreement to develop fully-autonomous vehicles as part of an automated MoD pilot for the
government of Singapore.
To guide our product strategies and investments in technology with a focus on developing advanced technologies to drive
growth within the Safe, Green and Connected mega-trends, we utilize and benefit from our Technology Advisory Council, a
panel of prominent global technology thought leaders.
Standardization of Sourcing by OEMs
Many OEMs are adopting global vehicle platforms to increase standardization, reduce per unit cost and increase capital
efficiency and profitability. As a result, OEMs are selecting suppliers that have the capability to manufacture products on a
worldwide basis as well as the flexibility to adapt to regional variations. Suppliers with global scale and strong design,
engineering and manufacturing capabilities, are best positioned to benefit from this trend. OEMs are also increasingly looking
to their suppliers to simplify vehicle design and assembly processes to reduce costs. As a result, suppliers that sell vehicle
components directly to manufacturers (Tier I suppliers) have assumed many of the design, engineering, research and
development and assembly functions traditionally performed by vehicle manufacturers. Suppliers that can provide fully-
engineered solutions, systems and pre-assembled combinations of component parts are positioned to leverage the trend toward
system sourcing.
7
Shorter Product Development Cycles
As a result of government regulations and customer preferences, OEMs are requiring suppliers to respond faster with new
designs and product innovations. While these trends are more prevalent in mature markets, the emerging markets are advancing
rapidly towards the regulatory standards and consumer preferences of the more mature markets. Suppliers with strong
technologies, robust global engineering and development capabilities will be best positioned to meet OEM demands for rapid
innovation.

Competition
Although the overall number of our top competitors has decreased due to ongoing industry consolidation, the automotive
parts industry remains extremely competitive. Furthermore, the rapidly evolving nature of the markets in which we compete has
attracted, and may continue to attract, new entrants, particularly in low-cost countries such as China and in areas of evolving
vehicle technologies such as automated driving, which has attracted competitors from outside the traditional automotive
industry. OEMs rigorously evaluate suppliers on the basis of product quality, price, reliability and timeliness of delivery,
product design capability, technical expertise and development capability, new product innovation, financial viability,
application of lean principles, operational flexibility, customer service and overall management. In addition, our customers
generally require that we demonstrate improved efficiencies, through cost reductions and/or price improvement, on a year-over-
year basis.

Supply Relationships with Our Customers
We typically supply products to our OEM customers through purchase orders, which are generally governed by general
terms and conditions established by each OEM. Although the terms and conditions vary from customer to customer, they
typically contemplate a relationship under which our customers place orders for their requirements of specific components
supplied for particular vehicles but are not required to purchase any minimum amount of products from us. These relationships
typically extend over the life of the related vehicle. Prices are negotiated with respect to each business award, which may be
subject to adjustments under certain circumstances, such as commodity or foreign exchange escalation/de-escalation clauses or
for cost reductions achieved by us. The terms and conditions typically provide that we are subject to a warranty on the products
supplied; in most cases, the duration of such warranty is coterminous with the warranty offered by the OEM to the end-user of
the vehicle. We may also be obligated to share in all or a part of recall costs if the OEM recalls its vehicles for defects
attributable to our products.
Individual purchase orders are terminable for cause or non-performance and, in most cases, upon our insolvency and
certain change of control events. In addition, many of our OEM customers have the option to terminate for convenience on
certain programs, which permits our customers to impose pressure on pricing during the life of the vehicle program, and issue
purchase contracts for less than the duration of the vehicle program, which potentially reduces our profit margins and increases
the risk of our losing future sales under those purchase contracts. Additionally, our largest customer, GM, expressly reserves a
right to terminate for competitiveness on certain of our long-term supply contracts. We manufacture and ship based on customer
release schedules, normally provided on a weekly basis, which can vary due to cyclical automobile production or dealer
inventory levels.
Although customer programs typically extend to future periods, and although there is an expectation that we will supply
certain levels of OEM production during such future periods, customer agreements including applicable terms and conditions
do not necessarily constitute firm orders. Firm orders are generally limited to specific and authorized customer purchase order
releases placed with our manufacturing and distribution centers for actual production and order fulfillment. Firm orders are
typically fulfilled as promptly as possible from the conversion of available raw materials, sub-components and work-in-process
inventory for OEM orders and from current on-hand finished goods inventory for aftermarket orders. The dollar amount of such
purchase order releases on hand and not processed at any point in time is not believed to be significant based upon the time
frame involved.

Research, Development and Intellectual Property
We maintain technical engineering centers in major regions of the world to develop and provide advanced products,
processes and manufacturing support for all of our manufacturing sites, and to provide our customers with local engineering
capabilities and design development on a global basis. As of December 31, 2016, we employed over 20,000 scientists,
engineers and technicians around the world. Our total investment in research and development, including engineering, was
approximately $1.5 billion, $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively,
which includes approximately $300 million, $300 million and $400 million of co-investment by customers and government
agencies. Each year we share some engineering expenses with OEMs and government agencies. While this amount varies from
year-to-year, it is generally in the range of 20% to 30% of engineering expenses.
We utilize a Technology Advisory Council, a panel of prominent global technology thought leaders, which guides our
product strategies and investments in technology with a focus on developing advanced technologies to drive growth. We believe
that our engineering and technical expertise, together with our emphasis on continuing research and development, allow us to
use the latest technologies, materials and processes to solve problems for our customers and to bring new, innovative products
to market. We believe that continued engineering activities are critical to maintaining our pipeline of technologically advanced
products. Given our strong financial discipline, we seek to effectively manage fixed costs and efficiently rationalize capital
spending by critically evaluating the profit potential of new and existing customer programs, including investment in innovation
and technology. We maintain our engineering activities around our focused product portfolio and allocate our capital and
resources to those products with distinctive technologies. We expect expenditures for research and development activities,
including engineering, net of co-investment, to be approximately $1.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2017.
We maintain a large portfolio of patents in the operation of our business. While no individual patent or group of patents,
taken alone, is considered material to our business, taken in the aggregate, these patents provide meaningful protection for our
products and technical innovations. Similarly, while our trademarks (particularly those protecting the Delphi brand) are
important to identify our position in the industry, we do not believe that any of these are individually material to our business.
We are actively pursuing marketing opportunities to commercialize and license our technology to both automotive and non-
automotive industries and we have selectively taken licenses from others to support our business interests. These activities
foster optimization of intellectual property rights.
Materials
We procure our raw materials from a variety of suppliers around the world. Generally, we seek to obtain materials in the
region in which our products are manufactured in order to minimize transportation and other costs. The most significant raw
materials we use to manufacture our products include copper and resins. As of December 31, 2016, we have not experienced
any significant shortages of raw materials and normally do not carry inventories of such raw materials in excess of those
reasonably required to meet our production and shipping schedules.
Commodity cost volatility, most notably related to copper, petroleum-based resin products and fuel, is a challenge for us
and our industry. We are continually seeking to manage these and other material-related cost pressures using a combination of
strategies, including working with our suppliers to mitigate costs, seeking alternative product designs and material
specifications, combining our purchase requirements with our customers and/or suppliers, changing suppliers, hedging of
certain commodities and other means. In the case of copper, which primarily affects our Electrical/Electronic Architecture
segment, contract clauses have enabled us to pass on some of the price increases to our customers and thereby partially offset
the impact of increased commodity costs on operating income for the related products. However, other than in the case of
copper, our overall success in passing commodity cost increases on to our customers has been limited. We will continue our
efforts to pass market-driven commodity cost increases to our customers in an effort to mitigate all or some of the adverse
earnings impacts, including by seeking to renegotiate terms as contracts with our customers expire.
Seasonality
Our business is moderately seasonal, as our primary North American customers historically reduce production during the
month of July and halt operations for approximately one week in December. Our European customers generally reduce
production during the months of July and August and for one week in December. Shut-down periods in the rest of the world
generally vary by country. In addition, automotive production is traditionally reduced in the months of July, August and
September due to the launch of parts production for new vehicle models. Accordingly, our results reflect this seasonality.
Employees
As of December 31, 2016, we employed approximately 145,000 people; 28,000 salaried employees and 117,000 hourly
employees. In addition, we maintain an alternative workforce of 21,000 contract and temporary workers. Our employees are
represented worldwide by numerous unions and works councils, including the International Union of Electronic, Electrical,
11
Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers - Communications Workers of America ("IUE-CWA") and the Confederacion De
Trabajadores Mexicanos. In the U.S., our employees are represented by only the IUE-CWA, with which we have competitive
wage and benefit packages.
Environmental Compliance
We are subject to the requirements of U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S., environmental and safety and health
laws and regulations. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge, hazardous materials and waste management.
We have an environmental management structure designed to facilitate and support our compliance with these requirements
globally. Although it is our intent to comply with all such requirements and regulations, we cannot provide assurance that we
are at all times in compliance. Environmental requirements are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more
stringent over time. Accordingly, we cannot assure that environmental requirements will not change or become more stringent
over time or that our eventual environmental costs and liabilities will not be material.
Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of
removal or remediation of hazardous substances. In addition to clean-up actions brought by U.S. federal, state, local and non-
U.S. agencies, plaintiffs could raise personal injury or other private claims due to the presence of hazardous substances on or
from a property. At this time, we are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental
remediation matters at certain of our present and former facilities. In addition, there may be soil or groundwater contamination
at several of our properties resulting from historical, ongoing or nearby activities.
At December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation was
approximately $6 million, $4 million and $5 million, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the
undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation attributable to discontinued operations included within
liabilities held for sale was approximately $0, $6 million and $16 million, respectively, of which $0, $0 and $7 million,
respectively, related to sites within the U.S. We cannot ensure that our eventual environmental remediation costs and liabilities
will not exceed the amount of our current reserves. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts
recorded, our results of operations could be materially affected.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Set forth below are certain risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our results of operations or financial
condition and cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by the
Company. Also refer to the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information in this annual report.
Risks Related to Business Environment and Economic Conditions
The cyclical nature of automotive sales and production can adversely affect our business.
Our business is directly related to automotive sales and automotive vehicle production by our customers. Automotive
sales and production are highly cyclical and, in addition to general economic conditions, also depend on other factors, such as
consumer confidence and consumer preferences. Lower global automotive sales would be expected to result in substantially all
of our automotive OEM customers lowering vehicle production schedules, which has a direct impact on our earnings and cash
flows. In addition, automotive sales and production can be affected by labor relations issues, regulatory requirements, trade
agreements, the availability of consumer financing and other factors. Economic declines that result in a significant reduction in
automotive sales and production by our customers have in the past had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our sales are also affected by inventory levels and OEMs’ production levels. We cannot predict when OEMs will decide
to increase or decrease inventory levels or whether new inventory levels will approximate historical inventory levels.
Uncertainty and other unexpected fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
A prolonged economic downturn or economic uncertainty could adversely affect our business and cause us to require
additional sources of financing, which may not be available.
Our sensitivity to economic cycles and any related fluctuation in the businesses of our customers or potential customers
may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Due to overall strong global
economic conditions in 2016, the automotive industry experienced increased global customer sales and production schedules.
Compared to 2015, vehicle production in 2016 increased by 2% in North America, 3% in Europe and 15% in China. However,
economic uncertainties have continued to persist in South America, resulting in a decline of 12% in South American vehicle
production in 2016, which follows a 19% decrease in that region in 2015. As a result, we have experienced and may continue to
experience reductions in orders from OEM customers in certain regions. Uncertainty relating to global or regional economic
conditions may have an adverse impact on our business. A prolonged downturn in the global or regional automotive industry, or
a significant change in product mix due to consumer demand, could require us to shut down plants or result in impairment
charges, restructuring actions or changes in our valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, which could be material to our
financial condition and results of operations. If global economic conditions deteriorate or economic uncertainty increases, our
customers and potential customers may experience deterioration of their businesses, which may result in the delay or
cancellation of plans to purchase our products. If vehicle production were to remain at low levels for an extended period of
time or if cash losses for customer defaults rise, our cash flow could be adversely impacted, which could result in our needing
to seek additional financing to continue our operations. There can be no assurance that we would be able to secure such
financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Any changes in consumer credit availability or cost of borrowing could adversely affect our business.
Declines in the availability of consumer credit and increases in consumer borrowing costs have negatively impacted
global automotive sales and resulted in lower production volumes in the past. Substantial declines in automotive sales and
production by our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A drop in the market share and changes in product mix offered by our customers can impact our revenues.
We are dependent on the continued growth, viability and financial stability of our customers. Our customers generally are
OEMs in the automotive industry. This industry is subject to rapid technological change, vigorous competition, short product
life cycles and cyclical and reduced consumer demand patterns. When our customers are adversely affected by these factors, we
may be similarly affected to the extent that our customers reduce the volume of orders for our products. As a result of changes
impacting our customers, sales mix can shift which may have either favorable or unfavorable impact on revenue and would
include shifts in regional growth, shifts in OEM sales demand, as well as shifts in consumer demand related to vehicle segment
purchases and content penetration. For instance, a shift in sales demand favoring a particular OEMs' vehicle model for which
we do not have a supply contract may negatively impact our revenue. A shift in regional sales demand toward certain markets
could favorably impact the sales of those of our customers that have a large market share in those regions, which in turn would
be expected to have a favorable impact on our revenue.
The mix of vehicle offerings by our OEM customers also impacts our sales. A decrease in consumer demand for specific
types of vehicles where we have traditionally provided significant content could have a significant effect on our business and
15
financial condition. Our sales of products in the regions in which our customers operate also depend on the success of these
customers in those regions.
If we do not respond appropriately, the evolution of the automotive industry towards autonomous vehicles and mobility
on demand services could adversely affect our business.
The automotive industry is increasingly focused on the development of advanced driver assistance technologies, with the
goal of developing and introducing a commercially-viable, fully automated driving experience. The high development cost of
active safety and autonomous driving technologies may result in a higher risk of exposure to the success of new or disruptive
technologies different than those being developed by us. There has also been an increase in consumer preferences for mobility
on demand services, such as car- and ride-sharing, as opposed to automobile ownership, which may result in a long term
reduction in the number of vehicles per capita. These evolving areas have also attracted increased competition from entrants
outside the traditional automotive industry. If we do not continue to innovate to develop or acquire new and compelling
products that capitalize upon new technologies in response to OEM and consumer preferences, this could have an adverse
impact on our results of operations.
Declines in the market share or business of our five largest customers may have a disproportionate adverse impact on
our revenues and profitability.
Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 38% of our total net sales in the year ended December 31, 2016.
Accordingly, our revenues may be disproportionately affected by decreases in any of their businesses or market share. Because
our customers typically have no obligation to purchase a specific quantity of parts, a decline in the production levels of any of
our major customers, particularly with respect to models for which we are a significant supplier, could disproportionately
reduce our sales and thereby adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. See Item 1. Supply
Relationships with Our Customers.
We may not realize sales represented by awarded business.
We estimate awarded business using certain assumptions, including projected future sales volumes. Our customers
generally do not guarantee volumes. In addition, awarded business may include business under arrangements that our
customers have the right to terminate without penalty. Therefore, our actual sales volumes, and thus the ultimate amount of
revenue that we derive from such sales, are not committed. If actual production orders from our customers are not consistent
with the projections we use in calculating the amount of our awarded business, we could realize substantially less revenue over
the life of these projects than the currently projected estimate.
Continued pricing pressures, OEM cost reduction initiatives and the ability of OEMs to re-source or cancel vehicle
programs may result in lower than anticipated margins, or losses, which may have a significant negative impact on
our business.
Cost-cutting initiatives adopted by our customers result in increased downward pressure on pricing. Our customer supply
agreements generally require step-downs in component pricing over the period of production, typically one to two percent per
year. In addition, our customers often reserve the right to terminate their supply contracts for convenience, which enhances
their ability to obtain price reductions. OEMs have also possessed significant leverage over their suppliers, including us,
because the automotive component supply industry is highly competitive, serves a limited number of customers, has a high
fixed cost base and historically has had excess capacity. Based on these factors, and the fact that our customers’ product
programs typically last a number of years and are anticipated to encompass large volumes, our customers are able to negotiate
favorable pricing. Accordingly, as a Tier I supplier, we are subject to substantial continuing pressure from OEMs to reduce the
price of our products. For example, our customer supply agreements generally provide for annual reductions in pricing of our
products over the period of production. It is possible that pricing pressures beyond our expectations could intensify as OEMs
pursue restructuring and cost cutting initiatives. If we are unable to generate sufficient production cost savings in the future to
offset price reductions, our gross margin and profitability would be adversely affected. See Item 1. Supply Relationships with
Our Customers for a detailed discussion of our supply agreements with our customers.
Our supply agreements with our OEM customers are generally requirements contracts, and a decline in the
production requirements of any of our customers, and in particular our largest customers, could adversely impact our
revenues and profitability.
We receive OEM purchase orders for specific components supplied for particular vehicles. In most instances our OEM
customers agree to purchase their requirements for specific products but are not required to purchase any minimum amount of
products from us. The contracts we have entered into with most of our customers have terms ranging from one year to the life
of the model (usually three to seven years, although customers often reserve the right to terminate for convenience). Therefore,
a significant decrease in demand for certain key models or group of related models sold by any of our major customers or the
ability of a manufacturer to re-source and discontinue purchasing from us, for a particular model or group of models, could
have a material adverse effect on us. To the extent that we do not maintain our existing level of business with our largest
16
customers because of a decline in their production requirements or because the contracts expire or are terminated for
convenience, we will need to attract new customers or win new business with existing customers, or our results of operations
and financial condition will be adversely affected. See Item 1. Supply Relationships with Our Customers for a detailed
discussion of our supply agreements with our customers.
We have invested substantial resources in markets where we expect growth and we may be unable to timely alter our
strategies should such expectations not be realized.
Our future growth is dependent on our making the right investments at the right time to support product development and
manufacturing capacity in geographic areas where we can support our customer base and in product areas of evolving vehicle
technologies. We have identified the Asia Pacific region, and more specifically China, as a key geographic market, and have
identified advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies as a key product market. We believe these
markets are likely to experience substantial long term growth, and accordingly have made and expect to continue to make
substantial investments, both directly and through participation in various partnerships and joint ventures, in numerous
manufacturing operations, technical centers, research and development activities and other infrastructure to support anticipated
growth in these areas. If we are unable to deepen existing and develop additional customer relationships in the Asia Pacific
region, or are unable to develop and introduce market-relevant advanced driver assistance technologies, we may not only fail to
realize expected rates of return on our existing investments, but we may incur losses on such investments and be unable to
timely redeploy the invested capital to take advantage of other markets or product categories, potentially resulting in lost
market share to our competitors. Our results will also suffer if these areas do not grow as quickly as we anticipate.
Our business in China is subject to aggressive competition and is sensitive to economic and market conditions.
Maintaining a strong position in the Chinese market is a key component of our global growth strategy. The automotive
supply market in China is highly competitive, with competition from many of the largest global manufacturers and numerous
smaller domestic manufacturers. As the size of the Chinese market continues to increase over the long term, we anticipate that
additional competitors, both international and domestic, will seek to enter the Chinese market and that existing market
participants will act aggressively to increase their market share. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced
margins and our inability to gain or hold market share. Additionally, there have been periods of increased market volatility and
moderations in the level of economic growth in China, which resulted in periods of lower automotive production growth rates
in China than those previously experienced. For example, automotive production in China increased 4% in 2015 as compared
to 2014, which represented a reduction from the overall level of long-term automotive market growth in the country. In 2016,
automotive production in China increased 15% as compared to 2015, benefiting in part from a consumer vehicle tax reduction
program. Following a partial increase in the consumer vehicle tax in 2017, vehicle production volumes in China are expected to
increase by 1% in 2017. Our business in China is sensitive to economic and market conditions that drive automotive sales
volumes in China and may be impacted if there are reductions in vehicle demand in China. If we are unable to maintain our
position in the Chinese market or if vehicle sales in China decrease or do not continue to increase, our business and financial
results could be materially adversely affected.
Disruptions in the supply of raw materials and other supplies that we and our customers use in our products may
adversely affect our profitability.
We and our customers use a broad range of materials and supplies, including copper and other metals, petroleum-based
resins, chemicals, electronic components and semiconductors. A significant disruption in the supply of these materials for any
reason could decrease our production and shipping levels, which could materially increase our operating costs and materially
decrease our profit margins.
We, as with other component manufacturers in the automotive industry, ship products to our customers’ vehicle assembly
plants throughout the world so they are delivered on a “just-in-time” basis in order to maintain low inventory levels. Our
suppliers also use a similar method. However, this “just-in-time” method makes the logistics supply chain in our industry very
complex and very vulnerable to disruptions.
Such disruptions could be caused by any one of a myriad of potential problems, such as closures of one of our or our
suppliers’ plants or critical manufacturing lines due to strikes, mechanical breakdowns, electrical outages, fires, explosions or
political upheaval, as well as logistical complications due to weather, global climate change, volcanic eruptions, or other natural
or nuclear disasters, mechanical failures, delayed customs processing and more. Additionally, as we grow in low cost countries,
the risk for such disruptions is heightened. The lack of even a small single subcomponent necessary to manufacture one of our
products, for whatever reason, could force us to cease production, even for a prolonged period. Similarly, a potential quality
issue could force us to halt deliveries while we validate the products. Even where products are ready to be shipped, or have
been shipped, delays may arise before they reach our customer. Our customers may halt or delay their production for the same
reason if one of their other suppliers fails to deliver necessary components. This may cause our customers, in turn to suspend
their orders, or instruct us to suspend delivery, of our products, which may adversely affect our financial performance.
17
When we fail to make timely deliveries in accordance with our contractual obligations, we generally have to absorb our
own costs for identifying and solving the “root cause” problem as well as expeditiously producing replacement components or
products. Generally, we must also carry the costs associated with “catching up,” such as overtime and premium freight.
Additionally, if we are the cause for a customer being forced to halt production, the customer may seek to recoup all of its
losses and expenses from us. These losses and expenses could be significant, and may include consequential losses such as lost
profits. Any supply-chain disruption, however small, could potentially cause the complete shutdown of an assembly line of one
of our customers, and any such shutdown that is due to causes that are within our control could expose us to material claims of
compensation. Where a customer halts production because of another supplier failing to deliver on time, it is unlikely we will
be fully compensated, if at all.
Adverse developments affecting one or more of our suppliers could harm our profitability.
Any significant disruption in our supplier relationships, particularly relationships with sole-source suppliers, could harm
our profitability. Furthermore, some of our suppliers may not be able to handle the commodity cost volatility and/or sharply
changing volumes while still performing as we expect. To the extent our suppliers experience supply disruptions, there is a risk
for delivery delays, production delays, production issues or delivery of non-conforming products by our suppliers. Even where
these risks do not materialize, we may incur costs as we try to make contingency plans for such risks.
The loss of business with respect to, or the lack of commercial success of, a vehicle model for which we are a
significant supplier could adversely affect our financial performance.
Although we receive purchase orders from our customers, these purchase orders generally provide for the supply of a
customer’s requirements for a particular vehicle model and assembly plant, rather than for the purchase of a specific quantity of
products. The loss of business with respect to, or the lack of commercial success of, a vehicle model for which we are a
significant supplier could reduce our sales and thereby adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash
flows.
We operate in the highly competitive automotive supply industry.
The global automotive component supply industry is highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on price,
technology, quality, delivery and overall customer service. There can be no assurance that our products will be able to compete
successfully with the products of our competitors. Furthermore, the rapidly evolving nature of the geographic markets in which
we compete has attracted, and may continue to attract, new entrants, particularly in countries such as China or in areas of
evolving vehicle technologies such as active safety and automated driving, which has attracted new entrants from outside the
traditional automotive supply industry. Additionally, consolidation in the automotive industry may lead to decreased product
purchases from us. As a result, our sales levels and margins could be adversely affected by pricing pressures from OEMs and
pricing actions of competitors. These factors led to selective resourcing of business to competitors in the past and may also do
so in the future. In addition, any of our competitors may foresee the course of market development more accurately than us,
develop products that are superior to our products, have the ability to produce similar products at a lower cost than us, adapt
more quickly than us to new technologies or evolving customer requirements or develop or introduce new products or solutions
before we do, particularly related to potential transformative technologies such as autonomous driving solutions. As a result,
our products may not be able to compete successfully with their products. These trends may adversely affect our sales as well
as the profit margins on our products. If we do not continue to innovate to develop or acquire new and compelling products that
capitalize upon new technologies, this could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Increases in costs of the materials and other supplies that we use in our products may have a negative impact on our
business.
Significant changes in the markets where we purchase materials, components and supplies for the production of our
products may adversely affect our profitability, particularly in the event of significant increases in demand where there is not a
corresponding increase in supply, inflation or other pricing increases. In recent periods there have been significant fluctuations
in the global prices of copper and petroleum-based resin products, and fuel charges, which have had and may continue to have
an unfavorable impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Continuing volatility may have adverse
effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We will continue efforts to pass some supply and material
cost increases onto our customers, although competitive and market pressures have limited our ability to do that, particularly
with domestic OEMs, and may prevent us from doing so in the future, because our customers are generally not obligated to
accept price increases that we may desire to pass along to them. Even where we are able to pass price increases through to the
customer, in some cases there is a lapse of time before we are able to do so. The inability to pass on price increases to our
customers when raw material prices increase rapidly or to significantly higher than historic levels could adversely affect our
operating margins and cash flow, possibly resulting in lower operating income and profitability. We expect to be continually
challenged as demand for our principal raw materials and other supplies, including electronic components, is significantly
impacted by demand in emerging markets, particularly in China. We cannot provide assurance that fluctuations in commodity
18
prices will not otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, or cause significant
fluctuations in quarterly and annual results of operations.
Our hedging activities to address commodity price fluctuations may not be successful in offsetting future increases in
those costs or may reduce or eliminate the benefits of any decreases in those costs.
In order to mitigate short-term volatility in operating results due to the aforementioned commodity price fluctuations, we
hedge a portion of near-term exposure to certain raw materials used in production. The results of our hedging practice could be
positive, neutral or negative in any period depending on price changes in the hedged exposures. Our hedging activities are not
designed to mitigate long-term commodity price fluctuations and, therefore, will not protect from long-term commodity price
increases. Our future hedging positions may not correlate to actual raw material costs, which could cause acceleration in the
recognition of unrealized gains and losses on hedging positions in operating results.
We may encounter manufacturing challenges.
The volume and timing of sales to our customers may vary due to: variation in demand for our customers’ products; our
customers’ attempts to manage their inventory; design changes; changes in our customers’ manufacturing strategy; and
acquisitions of or consolidations among customers. Due in part to these factors, many of our customers do not commit to long-
term production schedules. Our inability to forecast the level of customer orders with certainty makes it difficult to schedule
production and maximize utilization of manufacturing capacity.
We rely on third-party suppliers for the components used in our products, and we rely on third-party manufacturers to
manufacture certain of our assemblies and finished products. Our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could
be adversely affected if our third party suppliers lack sufficient quality control or if there are significant changes in their
financial or business condition. If our third-party manufacturers fail to deliver products, parts and components of sufficient
quality on time and at reasonable prices, we could have difficulties fulfilling our orders, sales and profits could decline, and our
commercial reputation could be damaged.
From time to time, we have underutilized our manufacturing lines. This excess capacity means we incur increased fixed
costs in our products relative to the net revenue we generate, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations,
particularly during economic downturns. If we are unable to improve utilization levels for these manufacturing lines and
correctly manage capacity, the increased expense levels will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, some of our manufacturing lines are located in China or other foreign countries that are
subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including increasing labor costs, which may result from market
demand or other factors, and political, social and economic instability.
We may not be able to respond quickly enough to changes in regulations, technology and technological risks, and to
develop our intellectual property into commercially viable products.
Changes in legislative, regulatory or industry requirements or in competitive technologies may render certain of our
products obsolete or less attractive. Our ability to anticipate changes in technology and regulatory standards and to successfully
develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis are significant factors in our ability to remain competitive
and to maintain or increase our revenues. For example, the evolving sector of automated driver assistance and autonomous
driving technologies has led to new regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT") in 2016 which will
require manufacturers of autonomous vehicles to provide documentation covering specific topics to regulators, such as how
automated systems detect objects on the road, how information is displayed to drivers, what cybersecurity measures are in
place and the testing and validation methods used to develop the autonomous driving system. In addition to these issued
regulations, there remains potential for the continued introduction of new and expanded regulations in this space, including
potential requirements for autonomous vehicle systems to receive approval from the DOT or other regulatory agencies prior to
commercial introduction. It is also possible that regulations in this space may diverge among jurisdictions, leading to increased
compliance costs.
We cannot provide assurance that certain of our products will not become obsolete or that we will be able to achieve the
technological advances that may be necessary for us to remain competitive and maintain or increase our revenues in the future.
We are also subject to the risks generally associated with new product introductions and applications, including lack of market
acceptance, delays in product development or production and failure of products to operate properly. The pace of our
development and introduction of new and improved products depends on our ability to implement successfully improved
technological innovations in design, engineering and manufacturing, which requires extensive capital investment. Any capital
expenditure cuts in these areas that we may determine to implement in the future to reduce costs and conserve cash could
reduce our ability to develop and implement improved technological innovations, which may materially reduce demand for our
products.
To compete effectively in the automotive supply industry, we must be able to launch new products to meet changing
consumer preferences and our customers’ demand in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our ability to respond to competitive
19
pressures and react quickly to other major changes in the marketplace, including the potential introduction of disruptive
technologies such as autonomous driving solutions, increased gasoline prices, or consumer desire for and availability of
vehicles with advanced driver assistance technologies or which use alternative fuels is also a risk to our future financial
performance.
We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to install and certify the equipment needed to produce products for new
product programs in time for the start of production, or that the transitioning of our manufacturing facilities and resources to
full production under new product programs will not impact production rates or other operational efficiency measures at our
facilities. Development and manufacturing schedules are difficult to predict, and we cannot provide assurance that our
customers will execute on schedule the launch of their new product programs, for which we might supply products. Our failure
to successfully launch new products, or a failure by our customers to successfully launch new programs, could adversely affect
our results.
Changes in factors that impact the determination of our non-U.S. pension liabilities may adversely affect us.
Certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans, which generally provide benefits based on
negotiated amounts for each year of service. Our primary funded non-U.S. plans are located in Mexico and the United
Kingdom and were underfunded by $521 million as of December 31, 2016. The funding requirements of these benefit plans,
and the related expense reflected in our financial statements, are affected by several factors that are subject to an inherent
degree of uncertainty and volatility, including governmental regulation. In addition to the defined benefit pension plans, we
have retirement obligations driven by requirements in many of the countries in which we operate. These legally required plans
require payments at the time benefits are due. Obligations, net of plan assets, related to the defined benefit pension plans and
statutorily required retirement obligations totaled $925 million at December 31, 2016, of which $10 million is included in
accrued liabilities, $923 million is included in long-term liabilities and $8 million is included in long-term assets in our
consolidated balance sheet. Key assumptions used to value these benefit obligations and the cost of providing such benefits,
funding requirements and expense recognition include the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on pension
assets. If the actual trends in these factors are less favorable than our assumptions, this could have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.
We may suffer future asset impairment and other restructuring charges, including write downs of long-lived assets,
goodwill, or intangible assets.
We have taken, are taking, and may take future restructuring actions to realign and resize our production capacity and cost
structure to meet current and projected operational and market requirements. Charges related to these actions or any further
restructuring actions may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure
that any current or future restructuring will be completed as planned or achieve the desired results.
Additionally, from time to time in the past, we have recorded asset impairment losses relating to specific plants and
operations. Generally, we record asset impairment losses when we determine that our estimates of the future undiscounted cash
flows from an operation will not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of that facility's building, fixed assets and
production tooling. For goodwill, we perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting
unit's value is less than its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we compare
its implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the
reporting unit would recognize an impairment loss for that excess. We cannot ensure that we will not incur such charges in the
future as changes in economic or operating conditions impacting the estimates and assumptions could result in additional
impairment.
Employee strikes and labor-related disruptions involving us or one or more of our customers or suppliers may
adversely affect our operations.
Our business is labor-intensive and utilizes a number of work councils and other represented employees. A strike or other
form of significant work disruption by our employees would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to operate our
business. A labor dispute involving us or one or more of our customers or suppliers or that could otherwise affect our operations
could reduce our sales and harm our profitability. A labor dispute involving another supplier to our customers that results in a
slowdown or a closure of our customers’ assembly plants where our products are included in the assembled parts or vehicles
could also adversely affect our business and harm our profitability. In addition, our inability or the inability of any of our
customers, our suppliers or our customers’ suppliers to negotiate an extension of a collective bargaining agreement upon its
expiration could reduce our sales and harm our profitability. Significant increases in labor costs as a result of the renegotiation
of collective bargaining agreements could also adversely affect our business and harm our profitability.
20
We may lose or fail to attract and retain key salaried employees and management personnel.
An important aspect of our competitiveness is our ability to attract and retain key salaried employees and management
personnel. Our ability to do so is influenced by a variety of factors, including the compensation we award and the competitive
market position of our overall compensation package. We may not be as successful as competitors at recruiting, assimilating
and retaining highly skilled personnel. The loss of the services of any member of senior management or a key salaried
employee could have an adverse effect on our business.
We are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations as a result of our substantial global operations, which may affect our
financial results.
We have currency exposures related to buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the local currencies of the
countries in which we operate. Approximately 64% of our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 came from sales
outside the United States, which were primarily invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and we expect net revenue
from non-U.S. markets to continue to represent a significant portion of our net revenue. Accordingly, significant changes in
currency exchange rates, particularly the Euro, Chinese Yuan (Renminbi), British Pound and Brazilian Real, could cause
fluctuations in the reported results of our businesses’ operations that could negatively affect our results of operations. Price
increases caused by currency exchange rate fluctuations may make our products less competitive or have an adverse effect on
our margins. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may also disrupt the business of our suppliers by making their purchases of
raw materials more expensive and more difficult to finance.
Historically, we have reduced our exposure by aligning our costs in the same currency as our revenues or, if that is
impracticable, through financial instruments that provide offsets or limits to our exposures, which are opposite to the
underlying transactions. However, any measures that we may implement to reduce the effect of volatile currencies and other
risks of our global operations may not be effective.
In addition, we have significant business in Europe and transact much of this business in the Euro currency, including
sales and purchase contracts. Although not as prevalent currently, concerns over the stability of the Euro currency and the
economic outlook for many European countries, including those that do not use the Euro as their currency, persist. Given the
broad range of possible outcomes, it is difficult to fully assess the implications on our business. Some of the potential outcomes
could significantly impact our operations. In the event of a country redenominating its currency away from the Euro, the
potential impact could be material to operations. We cannot provide assurance that fluctuations in currency exposures will not
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, or cause significant fluctuations in quarterly
and annual results of operations.
We face risks associated with doing business in non-U.S. jurisdictions.
The majority of our manufacturing and distribution facilities are in countries outside of the U.S., including Mexico, China
and other countries in Asia Pacific, Eastern and Western Europe, South America and Northern Africa. We also purchase raw
materials and other supplies from many different countries around the world. For the year ended December 31, 2016,
approximately 64% of our net revenue came from sales outside the United States. International operations are subject to certain
risks inherent in doing business abroad, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
exposure to local economic, political and labor conditions;
unexpected changes in laws, regulations, trade or monetary or fiscal policy, including interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates and changes in the rate of inflation in the U.S. and other foreign countries;
tariffs, quotas, customs and other import or export restrictions and other trade barriers;
expropriation and nationalization;
difficulty of enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets through non-U.S. legal systems;
reduced intellectual property protection;
limitations on repatriation of earnings;
• withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;
•
•
•
•
investment restrictions or requirements;
export and import restrictions;
violence and civil unrest in local countries; and
compliance with the requirements of an increasing body of applicable anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and similar laws of various other countries.
21
Additionally, our global operations may also be adversely affected by political events, domestic or international terrorist
events and hostilities or complications due to natural or nuclear disasters. These uncertainties could have a material adverse
effect on the continuity of our business and our results of operations and financial condition.
Existing free trade laws and regulations, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, provide certain beneficial
duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with the applicable classification and other
requirements. Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions,
tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where we manufacture products, such as China and Mexico, could have a material
adverse affect on our business and financial results.
Increasing our manufacturing footprint in Asian markets, including China, and our business relationships with Asian
automotive manufacturers are important elements of our long term strategy. In addition, our strategy includes increasing
revenue and expanding our manufacturing footprint in lower-cost regions. As a result, our exposure to the risks described above
may be greater in the future. The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential impact on us vary from country to country
and are unpredictable.
The results of the Referendum of the United Kingdom’s Membership of the European Union may adversely affect our
business and profitability.
The United Kingdom ("U.K.") held a referendum on June 23, 2016 in which a majority of voters approved an exit from
the European Union ("E.U."), commonly referred to as "Brexit", which resulted in increased market volatility and currency
exchange rate fluctuations. As a result of the referendum, the British government will begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s
future relationship with the E.U. including, among other matters, the terms of trade between the U.K. and the E.U. Brexit could
adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial
and foreign exchange markets, including increased volatility in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The taxation policies
of the U.K. and the E.U. nations in which we conduct business may also change as a result of the Brexit, which could adversely
impact our tax positions. Delphi Automotive PLC is a U.K. resident taxpayer.
Although we are actively monitoring the ongoing potential impacts of Brexit and will seek to minimize its impact on our
business, any of these effects of Brexit, among others, could adversely affect our business, business opportunities, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows. Approximately 5% of our annual net sales are generated in the U.K., and
approximately 3% are denominated in British pounds.
If we fail to manage our growth effectively or to integrate successfully any new or future business ventures,
acquisitions or strategic alliance into our business, our business could be materially adversely harmed.
We expect to pursue business ventures, acquisitions, and strategic alliances that leverage our technology capabilities,
enhance our customer base, geographic penetration and scale to complement our current businesses and we regularly evaluate
potential opportunities, some of which could be material. While we believe that such transactions are an integral part of our
long-term strategy, there are risks and uncertainties related to these activities. Assessing a potential growth opportunity involves
extensive due diligence. However, the amount of information we can obtain about a potential growth opportunity may be
limited, and we can give no assurance that new business ventures, acquisitions, and strategic alliances will positively affect our
financial performance or will perform as planned. We may not be able to successfully assimilate or integrate companies that we
acquire, including their personnel, financial systems, distribution, operations and general operating procedures. We may also
encounter challenges in achieving appropriate internal control over financial reporting in connection with the integration of an
acquired company. If we fail to assimilate or integrate acquired companies successfully, our business, reputation and operating
results could be materially impacted. Likewise, our failure to integrate and manage acquired companies successfully may lead
to future impairment of any associated goodwill and intangible asset balances.
We depend on information technology to conduct our business. Any significant disruption could impact our business.
Our ability to keep our business operating effectively depends on the functional and efficient operation of information
technology and telecommunications systems. We rely on these systems to make a variety of day-to-day business decisions as
well as to track transactions, billings, payments and inventory. Our systems, as well as those of our customers, suppliers,
partners, and service providers, are susceptible to interruptions (including those caused by systems failures, cyber attack,
malicious computer software (malware), and other natural or man-made incidents or disasters), which may be prolonged. We
are also susceptible to security breaches that may go undetected. Although we have taken precautions to mitigate such events,
including geographically diverse data centers, redundant infrastructure and the implementation of security measures, a
significant or large-scale interruption of our information technology could adversely affect our ability to manage and keep our
operations running efficiently and effectively. An incident that results in a wider or sustained disruption to our business could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
22
Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory, Tax and Accounting Matters
We may incur material losses and costs as a result of warranty claims, product recalls, product liability and intellectual
property infringement actions that may be brought against us.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to warranty claims and product liability in the event that our products fail
to perform as expected and, in the case of product liability, such failure of our products results in bodily injury and/or property
damage. The fabrication of the products we manufacture is a complex and precise process. Our customers specify quality,
performance and reliability standards. If flaws in either the design or manufacture of our products were to occur, we could
experience a rate of failure in our products that could result in significant delays in shipment and product re-work or
replacement costs. Although we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, these may not be sufficient to
avoid product failures, which could cause us to:
•
•
•
•
•
lose net revenue;
incur increased costs such as warranty expense and costs associated with customer support;
experience delays, cancellations or rescheduling of orders for our products;
experience increased product returns or discounts; or
damage our reputation,
all of which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.
If any of our products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall involving such
products. Each vehicle manufacturer has its own practices regarding product recalls and other product liability actions relating
to its suppliers. However, as suppliers become more integrally involved in the vehicle design process and assume more of the
vehicle assembly functions, OEMs continue to look to their suppliers for contribution when faced with recalls and product
liability claims. A recall claim brought against us, or a product liability claim brought against us in excess of our available
insurance, may have a material adverse effect on our business. OEMs also require their suppliers to guarantee or warrant their
products and bear the costs of repair and replacement of such products under new vehicle warranties. Depending on the terms
under which we supply products to a vehicle manufacturer, a vehicle manufacturer may attempt to hold us responsible for some
or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products under new vehicle warranties when the OEM asserts that the
product supplied did not perform as warranted. Although we cannot assure that the future costs of warranty claims by our
customers will not be material, we believe our established reserves are adequate to cover potential warranty settlements. Our
warranty reserves are based on our best estimates of amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims. We regularly
evaluate the level of these reserves and adjust them when appropriate. However, the final amounts determined to be due related
to these matters could differ materially from our recorded estimates.
In addition, as we adopt new technology, we face an inherent risk of exposure to the claims of others that we have
allegedly violated their intellectual property rights. We cannot assure that we will not experience any material warranty, product
liability or intellectual property claim losses in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to defend such claims.
We may be adversely affected by laws or regulations, including environmental regulation, litigation or other liabilities.
We are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S., laws and regulations, including those related to
environmental, health and safety, financial and other matters.
We cannot predict the substance or impact of pending or future legislation or regulations, or the application thereof. The
introduction of new laws or regulations or changes in existing laws or regulations, or the interpretations thereof, could increase
the costs of doing business for us or our customers or suppliers or restrict our actions and adversely affect our financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.
We are subject to regulation governing, among other things:
•
•
•
•
the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation, presence of, or exposure to hazardous materials;
the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the ground, air or water;
the incorporation of certain chemical substances into our products, including electronic equipment; and
the health and safety of our employees.
We are also required to obtain permits from governmental authorities for certain operations. We cannot assure you that
we have been or will be at all times in complete compliance with such laws, regulations and permits. If we violate or fail to
comply with these laws, regulations or permits, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. We could also be held
liable for any and all consequences arising out of human exposure to hazardous substances or other environmental damage.
23
Certain environmental laws impose liability, sometimes regardless of fault, for investigating or cleaning up contamination
on or emanating from our currently or formerly owned, leased or operated property, as well as for damages to property or
natural resources and for personal injury arising out of such contamination. Some of these environmental laws may also assess
liability on persons who arrange for hazardous substances to be sent to third party disposal or treatment facilities when such
facilities are found to be contaminated. At this time, we are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to
environmental remediation matters at a number of present and former facilities. The ultimate cost to us of site cleanups is
difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the potential for ongoing environmental
monitoring and maintenance that could be required for many years, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations,
alternative cleanup methods, and potential agreements that could be reached with governmental and third parties. While we
have environmental reserves of approximately $6 million at December 31, 2016 for the cleanup of presently-known
environmental contamination conditions, it cannot be guaranteed that actual costs will not significantly exceed these reserves.
We also could be named a potentially responsible party at additional sites in the future and the costs associated with such future
sites may be material.
In addition, environmental laws are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time.
While we have budgeted for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with environmental laws, we
cannot assure that environmental laws will not change or become more stringent in the future. Therefore, we cannot assure that
our costs of complying with current and future environmental and health and safety laws, and our liabilities arising from past or
future releases of, or exposure to, hazardous substances will not adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial
condition. For example, adoption of greenhouse gas rules in jurisdictions in which we operate facilities could require
installation of emission controls, acquisition of emission credits, emission reductions, or other measures that could be costly,
and could also impact utility rates and increase the amount we spend annually for energy.
We may identify the need for additional environmental remediation or demolition obligations relating to facility
divestiture, closure and decommissioning activities.
As we sell, close and/or demolish facilities around the world, environmental investigations and assessments will continue
to be performed. We may identify previously unknown environmental conditions or further delineate known conditions that
may require remediation or additional costs related to demolition or decommissioning, such as abatement of asbestos
containing materials or removal of polychlorinated biphenyls or storage tanks. Such costs could exceed our reserves.
We are involved from time to time in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could have an
adverse impact on our profitability and consolidated financial position.
We are involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that, from time to time, are significant.
These are typically claims that arise in the normal course of business including, without limitation, commercial or contractual
disputes, including warranty claims and other disputes with customers and suppliers; intellectual property matters; personal
injury claims; environmental issues; tax matters; and employment matters.
In addition, we conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal labor, social
security, environmental, tax and customs laws as well as a variety of state and local laws. While we believe we comply with
such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations, and we are often engaged in litigation with government
agencies regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances. As of December 31, 2016, the majority of claims
asserted against Delphi in Brazil relate to such litigation. The remaining claims relate to commercial and labor litigation with
private parties in Brazil. As of December 31, 2016, claims totaling approximately $185 million (using December 31, 2016
foreign currency rates) have been asserted against Delphi in Brazil. As of December 31, 2016, we maintained reserves for these
asserted claims of approximately $30 million (using December 31, 2016 foreign currency rates).
While we believe our reserves are adequate, the final amounts required to resolve these matters could differ materially
from our recorded estimates and our results of operations could be materially affected.
For further information regarding our legal matters, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings. No assurance can be given that such
proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our profitability and consolidated financial position.
Developments or assertions by us or against us relating to intellectual property rights could materially impact our
business.
We own significant intellectual property, including a large number of patents and tradenames, and are involved in
numerous licensing arrangements. Our intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining our competitive position in a
number of the markets we serve. Developments or assertions by or against us relating to intellectual property rights could
negatively impact our business. Significant technological developments by others also could materially and adversely affect our
business and results of operations and financial condition.
24
Taxing authorities could challenge our historical and future tax positions.
Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory
rates and changes in tax laws or their interpretation including changes related to tax holidays or tax incentives. Our taxes could
increase if certain tax holidays or incentives are not renewed upon expiration, or if tax rates or regimes applicable to us in such
jurisdictions are otherwise increased.
The amount of tax we pay is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. We
have taken and will continue to take tax positions based on our interpretation of such tax laws. In particular, we will seek to
organize and operate ourselves in such a way that we are and remain tax resident in the United Kingdom. Additionally, in
determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes, we regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting
from tax examinations. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution of a tax
examination, our reserves for uncertain tax benefits reflect the outcome of tax positions that are more likely than not to occur.
While we believe that we have complied with all applicable tax laws, there can be no assurance that a taxing authority will not
have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes. Should additional taxes be assessed, this may
result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
We have no unresolved SEC staff comments to report.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
As of December 31, 2016, we owned or leased 126 major manufacturing sites and 15 major technical centers. A
manufacturing site may include multiple plants and may be wholly or partially owned or leased. We also have many smaller
manufacturing sites, sales offices, warehouses, engineering centers, joint ventures and other investments strategically located
throughout the world. We have a presence in 46 countries. The following table shows the regional distribution of our major
manufacturing sites by the operating segment that uses such facilities:

In addition to these manufacturing sites, we had 15 major technical centers: five in North America; five in Europe,
Middle East and Africa; four in Asia Pacific; and one in South America.
Of our 126 major manufacturing sites and 15 major technical centers, which include facilities owned or leased by our
consolidated subsidiaries, 75 are primarily owned and 66 are primarily leased.
We frequently review our real estate portfolio and develop footprint strategies to support our customers’ global plans,
while at the same time supporting our technical needs and controlling operating expenses. We believe our evolving portfolio
will meet current and anticipated future needs.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are from time to time subject to various actions, claims, suits, government investigations, and other proceedings
incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, breach of contracts, competition and antitrust matters,
product warranties, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims and employment-related matters. It is our opinion that
the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. With respect to warranty matters, although we cannot ensure that the future costs of warranty claims
by customers will not be material, we believe our established reserves are adequate to cover potential warranty settlements.
However, the final amounts required to resolve these matters could differ materially from our recorded estimates.
25
Unsecured Creditors Litigation
Delphi has been subject to ongoing litigation related to general unsecured claims against the former Delphi Corporation,
now known as DPHH, resulting from that entity's 2005 bankruptcy filing. The Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Partnership Agreement of Delphi Automotive LLP (the “Fourth LLP Agreement”) was entered into on July 12, 2011 by the
members of Delphi Automotive LLP in order to position the Company for its initial public offering. Under the terms of the
Fourth LLP Agreement, if cumulative distributions to the members of Delphi Automotive LLP under certain provisions of the
Fourth LLP Agreement exceed $7.2 billion, Delphi, as disbursing agent on behalf of DPHH, is required to pay to the holders of
allowed general unsecured claims against DPHH, $32.50 for every $67.50 in excess of $7.2 billion distributed to the members,
up to a maximum amount of $300 million. In December 2014, a complaint was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") alleging that the 2011 redemption by Delphi Automotive LLP of
the membership interests of GM and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") totaling $4.4 billion, and the
subsequent repurchase of shares and payment of dividends by Delphi Automotive PLC, constituted distributions under the
terms of the Fourth LLP Agreement approximating $7.2 billion, triggering the maximum $300 million distribution to the
holders of general unsecured claims.
In May 2016, the Bankruptcy Court initially denied both parties' motions for summary judgment, requiring further
submissions to the Bankruptcy Court regarding the parties' intent with respect to the redemptions of the GM and PBGC
membership interests. On January 12, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, ruling
that the membership interest redemption payments qualified as distributions, which, along with share repurchases and dividend
payments made by Delphi, count toward the $7.2 billion threshold, and thus the $300 million maximum distribution for general
unsecured claims has been triggered. The Bankruptcy Court will rule on the application of pre-judgment interest at a future
date.
In connection with the ruling, the Company recorded a reserve of $300 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The reserve
was recorded to other expense in the consolidated statement of operations, and resulted in a corresponding reduction in
earnings per diluted share of approximately $1.10 for the year ended December 31, 2016. However, Delphi continues to
consider cumulative distributions through December 31, 2016 to be substantially below the $7.2 billion threshold, and intends
to vigorously contest the ruling through the appeals process. Delphi filed a notice of appeal on January 26, 2017.
Brazil Matters
Delphi conducts business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal labor, social security,
environmental, tax and customs laws, as well as a variety of state and local laws. While Delphi believes it complies with such
laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations, and the Company is often engaged in litigation with government
agencies regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances. As of December 31, 2016, the majority of claims
asserted against Delphi in Brazil relate to such litigation. The remaining claims in Brazil relate to commercial and labor
litigation with private parties. As of December 31, 2016, claims totaling approximately $185 million (using December 31, 2016
foreign currency rates) have been asserted against Delphi in Brazil. As of December 31, 2016, the Company maintains accruals
for these asserted claims of $30 million (using December 31, 2016 foreign currency rates). The amounts accrued represent
claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the Company’s analyses and assessment of the
asserted claims and prior experience with similar matters. While the Company believes its accruals are adequate, the final
amounts required to resolve these matters could differ materially from the Company’s recorded estimates and Delphi’s results
of operations could be materially affected. The Company estimates the reasonably possible loss in excess of the amounts
accrued related to these claims to be zero to $155 million.

(1) On December 18, 2015, we completed the acquisition of HellermannTyton Group PLC, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance and
innovative cable management solutions. Given the timing of the acquisition it is not fully reflected in our 2015 results and impacts comparability to
2016 results.
(2) On October 26, 2012, we completed the acquisition of the Motorized Vehicles Division of FCI (“MVL”), a leading global manufacturer of automotive
connection systems with a focus on high-value, leading technology applications. Given the timing of the acquisition it is not fully reflected in our 2012
results and impacts comparability to 2013 results.
(3)
Includes long-lived asset and goodwill impairments.
(4) Adjusted Operating Income represents net income before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense, equity income (loss), net
of tax, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred
to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and
divestitures), asset impairments and gains (losses) on business divestitures. Adjusted Operating Income is presented as a supplemental measure of the
Company's financial performance which management believes is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that,
when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items
that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and
trends. Our management utilizes Adjusted Operating Income in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for
internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes. Management also utilizes Adjusted Operating Income as the key performance measure of segment
income or loss and for planning and forecasting purposes to allocate resources to our segments, as management also believes this measure is most
reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our operating segments. Adjusted Operating Income should not be considered a substitute for results
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Delphi, which is the most directly
comparable financial measure to Adjusted Operating Income that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Income, as determined and
measured by Delphi, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to Operating Income includes restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which
includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product
acquisitions and divestitures), asset impairments and gains (losses) on business divestitures. The reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to net
income (loss) attributable to the Company is as follows:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) is
intended to help you understand the business operations and financial condition of the Company for the three year period ended
December 31, 2016. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Our MD&A is presented in seven sections:
• Executive Overview
• Consolidated Results of Operations
• Results of Operations by Segment
• Liquidity and Capital Resources
• Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Matters
•
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
• Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Within the MD&A, “Delphi,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Delphi Automotive PLC, a public limited
company which was formed under the laws of Jersey on May 19, 2011, together with its subsidiaries, including Delphi
Automotive LLP, a limited liability partnership incorporated under the laws of England and Wales which was formed on
August 19, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring certain assets and subsidiaries of the former Delphi Corporation (now known as
DPH Holdings Corp. (“DPHH”)), and became a subsidiary of Delphi Automotive PLC in connection with the completion of the
Company’s initial public offering on November 22, 2011. The former Delphi Corporation and, as the context may require, its
subsidiaries and affiliates, are also referred to herein as "Old Delphi.”
As described in Note 25. Discontinued Operations to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein, on
March 31, 2016 we completed the final step of our strategy to divest our former Thermal Systems business through the sale of
our ownership interest in the Shanghai Delphi Automotive Air Conditioning ("SDAAC") joint venture for net cash proceeds
of $62 million. Previously, on June 30, 2015 we completed the sale of the Company's wholly owned Thermal Systems business
to MAHLE GmbH ("MAHLE") for net cash proceeds of approximately $660 million, and on September 24, 2015 we
completed the sale of our interest in the Korea Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation ("KDAC") joint venture to a separate
buyer for net cash proceeds of $70 million. The SDAAC and KDAC joint ventures were previously reported within the
Thermal Systems segment. The divestiture of the Thermal Systems business positions us with a strategically focused product
portfolio in high-growth spaces to meet consumer preferences for products that address the industry mega-trends of Safe, Green
and Connected. Proceeds from the sale were used to fund growth initiatives, including acquisitions, as well as share
repurchases. As the disposal of the Thermal Systems business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the
Company's operations and financial results, the assets and liabilities, operating results, and operating and investing cash flows
for the previously reported Thermal Systems segment are presented as discontinued operations separate from the Company’s
continuing operations for all periods presented. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis reflects the results of continuing
operations, unless otherwise noted.
Executive Overview
Our Business
We are a leading global vehicle components manufacturer and provide electrical and electronic, powertrain and active
safety technology solutions to the global automotive and commercial vehicle markets. We are one of the largest vehicle
component manufacturers, and our customers include all 25 of the largest automotive original equipment manufacturers
(“OEMs”) in the world.
Business Strategy
We believe the Company is well-positioned for growth from increasing global vehicle production volumes, increased
demand for our Safe, Green and Connected products which are being added to vehicle content, and new business wins with
existing and new customers. We have successfully created a competitive cost structure, continued to align our product offerings
with the high-growth industry mega-trends and re-aligned our manufacturing footprint into an efficient, low-cost regional
service model, allowing us to increase our profit margins.
Our achievements in 2016 included the following:
• Generating gross business bookings of $25.6 billion, based upon expected volumes and pricing;
• Generating $1.9 billion of cash from continuing operations and net income of $1.3 billion;
33
• Continuing our focus on diversifying our geographic, product and customer mix, resulting in 37% of our 2016 net
sales generated in the North American market, 26% generated from the Asia Pacific region, which we have identified
as a key market likely to experience long term growth, and 14% generated from our largest customer;
• Continuing to strategically position the Company's product portfolio in high-growth spaces to meet consumer
preferences for products that address the industry mega-trends of Safe, Green and Connected, including $1.5 billion
invested in research & development in 2016, which includes approximately $300 million of co-investment by
customers and government agencies, and through value enhancing portfolio modifications and agreements, which
included:
• Enhancing our leading automated driving capabilities by entering into a collaborative arrangement with
Mobileye N.V. to jointly develop a complete turn-key fully autonomous driving platform, and through an
additional strategic investment in Quanergy Systems, Inc.;
• Complementing and enhancing our fully-reconfigurable digital display product offerings by acquiring
PureDepth, Inc. ("PureDepth"), a leading provider of multi-layer display technology that enables glasses-
less 3D for cluster and other applications;
• Completing the final step of our strategy to divest our former Thermal Systems business through the sale of
our ownership interest in the SDAAC joint venture for net cash proceeds of $62 million; and
• Completing the divestiture of our non-core Mechatronics business for net cash proceeds of $197 million.
• Maximizing our operational flexibility and profitability at all points in the normal automotive business cycle, by
having approximately 95% of our hourly workforce based in low cost countries and approximately 14% of our hourly
workforce composed of temporary employees; and
• Leveraging our investment grade credit metrics to further refine our capital structure and increase our financial
flexibility by successfully issuing €500 million of 12-year, 1.60% Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes and
$300 million of 30-year, 4.40% senior unsecured notes, utilizing the combined proceeds to redeem our $800 million,
5.00% senior notes.
Our strategy is to build on these accomplishments and continue to develop and manufacture innovative market-relevant
products for a diverse base of customers around the globe and leverage our lean and flexible cost structure to achieve strong
and disciplined earnings growth and returns on invested capital. Through our culture of innovation and world class engineering
capabilities we intend to employ our rigorous, forward-looking product development process to deliver new technologies that
provide solutions to OEMs. We are committed to creating value for our shareholders. We repurchased $635 million of ordinary
shares in 2016. We also continued to return cash to our shareholders, paying cash dividends totaling $317 million in 2016. Our
key strategic priorities include:
Targeting the right business with the right customers. We intend to be strategic in our pursuit of new business and
customers in order to achieve disciplined, above-market growth. We conduct in-depth analysis of market share and product
trends by region in order to prioritize research, development and engineering spend for the customers that we believe will be
successful. Collaboration with customers in our 15 major technical centers around the world helps us develop innovative
product solutions designed to meet their needs. As more OEMs design vehicles for global platforms, where the same vehicle
architecture is shared among different regions, we are well suited to provide global design and engineering support while
manufacturing these products for a specific regional market.
Leveraging our engineering and technological capabilities. We seek to leverage our strong product portfolio tied to the
industry’s key mega-trends with our global footprint to increase our revenues, as well as committing to substantial annual
investment in research and development to maintain and enhance our leadership in each of our product lines.
Capitalizing on our scale, global footprint and established position in emerging markets. We intend to generate sustained
growth by capitalizing on the breadth and scale of our operating capabilities. Our global footprint provides us important
proximity to our customers’ manufacturing facilities and allows us to serve them in every region in which they operate. We
anticipate that we will continue to build upon our extensive geographic reach to capitalize on growing automotive markets,
particularly in China. In addition, our presence in low cost countries positions us to realize incremental margin improvements
as the global balance of automotive production shifts towards emerging markets.
Leveraging our lean and flexible cost structure to deliver profitability and cash flow. We recognize the importance of
maintaining a lean and flexible cost structure in order to deliver stable earnings and cash flow in a cyclical industry. Our focus
is on maximizing and optimizing manufacturing output to meet increasing production requirements with minimal additions to
our fixed-cost base. Additionally, we are continuing to use a meaningful amount of temporary workers to ensure we have the
appropriate operational flexibility to scale our operations so that we can maintain our profitability as industry production levels
increase or contract.
34
Advancing and maintaining an efficient capital structure. We actively manage our capital structure in order to maintain
an investment grade credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support our business and maximize shareholder value. We will
continue to make adjustments to our capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions or as opportunities arise to
provide us with additional financial flexibility to invest in our business and execute our strategic objectives going forward.
Pursuing selected acquisitions and strategic investments. During 2016 we continued to complete selected acquisitions
and strategic investments in order to continue to enhance our product offerings and competitive position in growing market
segments. We intend to continue to pursue selected transactions that leverage our technology capabilities and enhance and
expand our product offerings, customer base, geographic penetration and scale to complement our current businesses.
Trends, Uncertainties and Opportunities
Economic conditions. Our business is directly related to automotive sales and automotive vehicle production by our
customers. Automotive sales depend on a number of factors, including global and regional economic conditions. Although
global automotive vehicle production increased 5% from 2015 to 2016, economic conditions and the resultant levels of
automotive vehicle production were uneven from a regional perspective. Vehicle production increased by 2% in North America
and 3% in Europe as consumer demand for vehicles increased as a result of these economies experiencing moderate
improvement in 2016. Both the North American and European economies are expected to continue to experience moderate
growth, resulting in essentially flat vehicle production in both regions in 2017 as compared to the increased volumes
experienced in 2016. Automotive production in China increased by 15% in 2016 as compared to 2015, benefiting in part from a
consumer vehicle tax reduction program. Following a partial increase in the consumer vehicle tax in 2017, vehicle production
in China is expected to increase by 1% in 2017 as compared to 2016. Additionally, vehicle production in South America, our
smallest region, decreased by 12% in 2016 as compared to 2015, with volumes expected to be flat in 2017 with the reduced
volumes experienced in 2016, due to continued economic weakness in the region.
Economic volatility or weakness in North America, Europe or China, or continued weakness in South America, could
result in a significant reduction in automotive sales and production by our customers, which would have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition. There is also potential that geopolitical factors could adversely
impact the U.S. and other economies, and specifically the automotive sector. In particular, changes to international trade
agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement or other political pressures could affect the operations of our
OEM customers, resulting in reduced automotive production in certain regions or shifts in the mix of production to higher cost
regions. Increases in interest rates could also negatively impact automotive production as a result of increased consumer
borrowing costs or reduced credit availability. Additionally, economic weakness may result in shifts in the mix of future
automotive sales (from vehicles with more content such as luxury vehicles, trucks and sport utility vehicles toward smaller
passenger cars). While our diversified customer and geographic revenue base, along with our flexible cost structure, have well
positioned us to withstand the impact of industry downturns and benefit from industry upturns, shifts in the mix of global
automotive production to higher cost regions or to vehicles with less content could adversely impact our profitability.
There have also been periods of increased market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations, both globally and
most specifically within the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Europe, as a result of the U.K. referendum held on June 23, 2016 in
which voters approved an exit from the European Union ("E.U."), commonly referred to as "Brexit." As a result of the
referendum, the British government will begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the E.U. including,
among other matters, the terms of trade between the U.K. and the E.U. Brexit could adversely affect European and worldwide
economic and market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, including
increased volatility in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Although we are actively monitoring the ongoing potential
impacts of Brexit and will seek to minimize its impact on our business, any of these effects of Brexit, among others, could
adversely affect our business, business opportunities, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Approximately
5% of our annual net sales are generated in the U.K., and approximately 3% are denominated in British pounds.
Emerging markets growth. There have been periods of increased market volatility and moderations in the level of
economic growth in China, which resulted in periods of lower automotive production growth rates in China than those
previously experienced. Despite these recent moderations in the level of economic growth in China, rising income levels in
China and other emerging markets have resulted and are expected to result in stronger growth rates in these markets over the
long term. Our strong global presence, and presence in these markets, has positioned us to experience above-market growth
rates over the long term. We continue to expand our established presence in emerging markets, positioning us to benefit from
the expected long term growth opportunities in these regions. We are capitalizing on our long-standing relationships with the
global OEMs and further enhancing our positions with the emerging market OEMs to continue expanding our worldwide
leadership. We continue to build upon our extensive geographic reach to capitalize on fast-growing automotive markets. We
believe that our presence in low cost countries positions us to realize incremental margin improvements as the global balance of
automotive production shifts towards the emerging markets.
35
We have a strong presence in China, where we have operated for over 20 years, including a major manufacturing base,
which has included investments in 6 new manufacturing facilities since 2012. All of our business segments have operations and
sales in China. As a result, we have well-established relationships with all of the major OEMs in China. Our business in China
remains sensitive to economic and market conditions that drive automotive sales volumes in China, and may be impacted if
there are reductions in vehicle demand in China. However, we continue to believe there is long term growth potential in this
market based on increasing long term automotive and vehicle content demand.
Market driven products. Our product offerings satisfy the OEMs’ needs to meet increasingly stringent government
regulations and meet consumer preferences for products that address the mega-trends of Safe, Green and Connected, leading to
increased content per vehicle, greater profitability and higher margins. With these offerings, we believe we are well-positioned
to benefit from the growing demand for vehicle content and technology related to safety, fuel efficiency, emissions control,
electrification, high speed data, connectivity to the global information network and automated driving technologies. Our
Electrical/Electronic Architecture and Electronics and Safety segments are benefiting from the substantial increase in vehicle
content, software and electrification requiring a complex and reliable electrical architecture and systems to operate, such as
automated advanced driver assistance technologies, electrical vehicle monitoring, active safety systems, lane departure warning
systems, integrated vehicle cockpit displays, navigation systems and technologies that enable connected infotainment in
vehicles. Our ability to design a reliable electrical architecture that optimizes power distribution and/or consumption is key to
satisfying the OEMs’ needs to reduce emissions while continuing to meet consumer demand for increased vehicle content and
technology. In 2016 we introduced our 48-volt mild hybrid vehicle solution, which maximizes the use of 48-volt electrification
to minimize the demand on the engine, improving performance while lowering CO2 emissions by more than 10%. Additionally,
our Powertrain Systems segment is also focused on addressing the demand for increased fuel efficiency and emission control
through products such as gasoline direct injection (GDi) fuel systems and variable valve actuation technology such as dynamic
skip fire software.
Global capabilities. Many OEMs are continuing to adopt global vehicle platforms to increase standardization, reduce per
unit cost and increase capital efficiency and profitability. As a result, OEMs are selecting suppliers that have the capability to
manufacture products on a worldwide basis, as well as the flexibility to adapt to regional variations. Suppliers with global scale
and strong design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities, are best positioned to benefit from this trend. Our global
footprint enables us to serve the global OEMs on a worldwide basis as we gain market share with the emerging market OEMs.
This regional model principally services the North American market out of Mexico, the South American market out of Brazil,
the European market out of Eastern Europe and North Africa and the Asia Pacific market out of China, and we have continued
to rotate our manufacturing footprint to low cost locations within these regions.
Our global operations are subject to certain risks inherent in doing business abroad, including unexpected changes in
laws, regulations, trade or monetary or tax fiscal policy, including tariffs, quotas, customs and other import or export
restrictions and other trade barriers. Existing free trade laws and regulations, such as the North American Free Trade
Agreement, provide certain beneficial duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with the
applicable classification and other requirements. Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in
particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where we manufacture products, such as China
and Mexico, could have a material adverse affect on our business and financial results.
Product development. The automotive component supply industry is highly competitive, both domestically and
internationally, and is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and changes in customer
needs. Our ability to anticipate changes in technology and regulatory standards and to successfully develop and introduce new
and enhanced products on a timely and cost competitive basis will be a significant factor in our ability to remain competitive.
To compete effectively in the automotive supply industry, we must be able to launch new products to meet our customers’
demands in a timely manner. Our innovative technologies and robust global engineering and development capabilities have
well positioned us to meet the increasingly stringent vehicle manufacturer demands and consumer preferences for high-
technology content in automobiles.
OEMs are increasingly looking to their suppliers to simplify vehicle design and assembly processes to reduce costs. As a
result, suppliers that sell vehicle components directly to manufacturers (Tier I suppliers) have assumed many of the design,
engineering, research and development and assembly functions traditionally performed by vehicle manufacturers. Suppliers
that can provide fully-engineered solutions, systems and pre-assembled combinations of component parts are positioned to
leverage the trend toward system sourcing.
Engineering, design & development. Our history and culture of innovation have enabled us to develop significant
intellectual property and design and development expertise to provide advanced technology solutions that meet the demands of
our customers. We have a team of more than 20,000 scientists, engineers and technicians focused on developing leading
product solutions for our key markets, located at 15 major technical centers in Brazil, China, France, Germany, India,
Luxembourg, Mexico, Poland, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States. We invest approximately $1.5 billion
(which includes approximately $300 million co-investment by customers and government agencies) annually in research and
36
development, including engineering, to maintain our portfolio of innovative products, and owned/held approximately 8,500
patents and protective rights as of December 31, 2016. We also encourage “open innovation” and collaborate extensively with
peers in the industry, government agencies and academic institutions. For example, in 2016 we entered into a collaborative
arrangement with Mobileye N.V. to jointly develop a complete turn-key fully autonomous driving platform for our OEM
customers, with the goal of being production ready for 2019. Our technology competencies are recognized by both customers
and government agencies, who have co-invested approximately $300 million annually in new product development,
accelerating the pace of innovation and reducing the risk associated with successful commercialization of technological
breakthroughs.
In the past, suppliers often incurred the initial cost of engineering, designing and developing automotive component parts,
and recovered their investments over time by including a cost recovery component in the price of each part based on expected
volumes. Recently, we and many other suppliers have negotiated for cost recovery payments independent of volumes. This
trend reduces our economic risk.
Pricing. Cost-cutting initiatives adopted by our customers result in increased downward pressure on pricing. Our
customer supply agreements generally require step-downs in component pricing over the periods of production and OEMs have
historically possessed significant leverage over their outside suppliers because the automotive component supply industry is
fragmented and serves a limited number of automotive OEMs. Our profitability depends in part on our ability to generate
sufficient production cost savings in the future to offset price reductions.
We are focused on maintaining a low fixed cost structure that provides us flexibility to remain profitable at all points of
the traditional vehicle industry production cycle. As a result, approximately 95% of our hourly workforce is located in low cost
countries. Furthermore, we have substantial operational flexibility by leveraging a large workforce of temporary workers,
which represented approximately 14% of the hourly workforce as of December 31, 2016. However, we will continue to adjust
our cost structure and optimize our manufacturing footprint in response to changes in the global and regional automotive
markets and in order to increase investment in advanced technologies and engineering, as evidenced by our on-going
restructuring programs focused on the continued rotation of our manufacturing footprint to low cost locations in Europe and on
reducing our global overhead costs. As we continue to operate in a cyclical industry that is impacted by movements in the
global and regional economies, we continually evaluate opportunities to further refine our cost structure. Assuming constant
product mix and pricing, based on our 2016 results, we estimate that our EBITDA breakeven level would be reached if we
experienced a 45% downturn to current product volumes.
We have a strong balance sheet with gross debt of approximately $4.0 billion and substantial available liquidity of
approximately $3.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents and available financing under our Revolving Credit Facility and
committed European accounts receivable factoring facility (as defined below in Liquidity and Capital Resources) as of
December 31, 2016, and no significant U.S. defined benefit or workforce postretirement health care benefits and employer-paid
postretirement basic life insurance benefits (“OPEB”) liabilities. We intend to maintain strong financial discipline targeting
industry-leading earnings growth, cash flow generation and return on invested capital and to maintain sufficient liquidity to
sustain our financial flexibility throughout the industry cycle.
OEM product recalls. The number of vehicles recalled globally by OEMs has increased above historical levels. These
recalls can either be initiated by the OEMs or influenced by regulatory agencies. Although there are differing rules and
regulations across countries governing recalls for safety issues, the overall transition towards global vehicle platforms may also
contribute to increased recalls outside of the U.S., as automotive components are increasingly standardized across regions.
Given the sensitivity to safety issues in the automotive industry, including increased focus from regulators and consumers, we
anticipate the number of automotive recalls may remain above historical levels in the near future. Although we engage in
extensive product quality programs and processes, and have not experienced any significant impacts to date as a result of the
recalls that have been initiated, it is possible that we may be adversely affected in the future if the pace of these recalls
continues.
In September 2016, General Motors Company ("GM"), our largest customer, initiated a recall of approximately 3.64
million vehicles in the United States to enhance the airbag deployment system. Delphi supplied sensors and related control
modules for the airbags in the affected vehicles in compliance with GM's product specifications and validation criteria. We
have assisted with GM's implementation efforts surrounding its recall, and have recorded our best estimate of our obligations
related to this matter. Although we can provide no assurances, we do not expect the cost of this matter to be material to our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Efficient use of capital. The global vehicle components industry is generally capital intensive and a portion of a supplier’s
capital equipment is frequently utilized for specific customer programs. Lead times for procurement of capital equipment are
long and typically exceed start of production by one to two years. Substantial advantages exist for suppliers that can leverage
their prior investments in capital equipment or amortize the investment over higher volume global customer programs.
37
Industry consolidation. Consolidation among worldwide suppliers is expected to continue as suppliers seek to achieve
operating synergies and value stream efficiencies, acquire complementary technologies and build stronger customer
relationships as OEMs continue to expand globally. Additionally, new entrants from outside the traditional automotive industry
may seek to gain access to certain vehicle component markets, as evidenced by the proposed acquisition of Harman
International Industries, Incorporated by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., announced in November 2016. We believe companies
with strong balance sheets and financial discipline are in the best position to take advantage of the industry consolidation trend.
As further described below, on December 18, 2015, we completed the acquisition of HellermannTyton Group PLC
("HellermannTyton"), a leading global manufacturer of high-performance and innovative cable management solutions,
which expands our product portfolio within the connected vehicle solutions market and will help us capitalize on the connected
car megatrend. Given the timing of the acquisition it is not fully reflected in our 2015 results, and impacts comparability to
2016 results.
Evolution of the automotive industry. The automotive industry is increasingly evolving towards the implementation of
high-technology, software-dependent components and solutions. In particular, the industry is focused on the development of
advanced driver assistance technologies, with the goal of developing and introducing a commercially-viable, fully automated
driving experience. We expect automated driving technologies will provide strong societal benefit as well as the opportunity for
long term growth for our product offerings in this space. We are continuing to invest in the automated driving space, and have
continued to develop market-leading automated driving platform solutions such as automated driving software, key active
safety sensing technologies and our Multi-Domain Controller, which fuses information from sensing systems as well as
mapping and navigation data to make driving decisions. We have also entered into a collaborative arrangement with
Mobileye N.V. to jointly develop a complete turn-key fully autonomous driving platform for our OEM customers, with the goal
of being production ready for 2019. There has also been increasing societal demand for mobility on demand ("MoD") services,
such as car- and ride-sharing, and an increasing number of traditional automotive companies have made investments in the
MoD space. We believe the increasing societal demand for MoD services will accelerate the development of autonomous
driving technologies, strongly benefiting the MoD space. We recently entered into an agreement to develop fully-autonomous
vehicles as part of an automated MoD pilot for the government of Singapore. As a result of our substantial investments and
strategic partnerships, we believe we are well-aligned with industry technology trends that will result in sustainable future
growth in these evolving areas.
However, there are many risks associated with these evolving areas, including the high development costs of active safety
and autonomous driving technologies, the uncertain timing of customer and consumer adoption of these technologies, increased
competition from entrants outside the traditional automotive industry and new and emerging regulations, such as the recently
introduced autonomous vehicle guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Transportation. While we believe we are well-
positioned in these markets, the high development cost of active safety and autonomous driving technologies may result in a
higher risk of exposure to the success of new or disruptive technologies different than those being developed by us.
Our History and Structure
On August 19, 2009, Delphi Automotive LLP, a limited liability partnership organized under the laws of England and
Wales, was formed for the purpose of acquiring certain assets and subsidiaries of Old Delphi (“the Acquisition”), which, along
with certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, had filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy in October 2005. On October 6, 2009, Delphi
Automotive LLP acquired the major portion of the business of Old Delphi and issued membership interests to a group of
investors consisting of certain lenders to Old Delphi, General Motors Company ("GM") and the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (the “PBGC”). On March 31, 2011, all of the outstanding Class A and Class C membership interests held by GM
and the PBGC were redeemed, respectively, for approximately $4.4 billion.
On May 19, 2011, Delphi Automotive PLC was formed as a Jersey public limited company, and had nominal assets, no
liabilities and had conducted no operations prior to its initial public offering. On November 22, 2011, in conjunction with the
completion of its initial public offering by the selling shareholders, all of the outstanding equity of Delphi Automotive LLP was
exchanged for ordinary shares by its equity holders in Delphi Automotive PLC. As a result, Delphi Automotive LLP became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Delphi Automotive PLC.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Our total net sales during the year ended December 31, 2016 were $16.7 billion, an increase of 10% compared to 2015.
This compares to total global OEM production increases of 5% in 2016. The increase in our total net sales is primarily
attributable to continued increased volumes in the North America, Europe and Asia Pacific regions, as well as incremental sales
as a result of our acquisition of HellermannTyton in December 2015. Partially offsetting these increased volumes were reduced
sales in our smallest region, South America, due to continuing economic weakness resulting in continued reductions in OEM
production schedules in the region. Our overall lean cost structure, along with above-market sales growth in North America,
38
Europe and Asia Pacific, enabled us to improve gross margins in the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the prior
year.
The decrease in our total net sales of 2% during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to 2014 was primarily
attributable to unfavorable foreign currency impacts, which offset increased sales volumes in North America, Europe and Asia
Pacific. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced sales volumes in our smallest region, South America, due to
continuing economic weakness, resulting in continued reductions in OEM production schedules in the region.
Delphi typically experiences fluctuations in revenue due to changes in OEM production schedules, vehicle sales mix and
the net of new and lost business (which we refer to collectively as volume), increased prices attributable to escalation clauses in
our supply contracts for recovery of increased commodity costs (which we refer to as commodity pass-through), fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates (which we refer to as FX), contractual reductions of the sales price to the OEM (which we
refer to as contractual price reductions) and engineering changes. Changes in sales mix can have either favorable or
unfavorable impacts on revenue. Such changes can be the result of shifts in regional growth, shifts in OEM sales demand, as
well as shifts in consumer demand related to vehicle segment purchases and content penetration. For instance, a shift in sales
demand favoring a particular OEM’s vehicle model for which we do not have a supply contract may negatively impact our
revenue. A shift in regional sales demand toward certain markets could favorably impact the sales of those of our customers
that have a large market share in those regions, which in turn would be expected to have a favorable impact on our revenue.
We typically experience (as described below) fluctuations in operating income due to:
• Volume, net of contractual price reductions—changes in volume offset by contractual price reductions (which
typically range from 1% to 3% of net sales) and changes in mix;
• Operational performance—changes to costs for materials and commodities or manufacturing variances; and
• Other—including restructuring costs and any remaining variances not included in Volume, net of contractual price
reductions or Operational performance.
The automotive component supply industry is traditionally subject to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials
and labor which may place operational and profitability burdens on the entire supply chain. We will continue to work with our
customers and suppliers to mitigate the impact of these inflationary pressures in the future. In addition, we expect commodity
cost volatility, particularly related to copper and petroleum-based resin products, to have a continual impact on future earnings
and/or operating cash flows. As such, we continually seek to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost
exposures using a number of approaches, including combining purchase requirements with customers and/or other suppliers,
using alternate suppliers or product designs, negotiating cost reductions and/or commodity cost contract escalation clauses into
our vehicle manufacturer supply contracts, and hedging.

Total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased 10% compared to the year ended December 31, 2015. We
experienced volume growth of 10% for the period, primarily as a result of increased sales in North America, Europe and Asia
Pacific, which was partially offset by decreases due to unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the Chinese Yuan
Renminbi, and contractual price reductions. Net sales also increased by a net $702 million as a result of acquisitions and
divestitures, reflected in Other above, primarily resulting from the net sales of HellermannTyton for the year ended
December 31, 2016, partially offset by a reduction in sales resulting from the divestiture of our Reception Systems business in
the third quarter of 2015. Refer to Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures to the audited consolidated financial statements
included herein for further information regarding acquisitions and divestitures.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is primarily comprised of material, labor, manufacturing overhead, freight, fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates, product engineering, design and development expenses, depreciation and amortization, warranty costs and
other operating expenses. Gross margin is revenue less cost of sales and gross margin percentage is gross margin as a
percentage of net sales.

Cost of sales increased $952 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31,
2015, as summarized below. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 50% of net sales in both the years ended
December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The increase in cost of sales reflects increased volumes, partially offset by improved operational performance and the
impacts from currency exchange. The increase in cost of sales is also attributable to the following items in Other above:
• Net increased costs of $419 million resulting from the operations of the businesses acquired and divested, primarily
HellermannTyton, as further described in Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures;
•
Increased warranty costs of $60 million, which includes increased reserves for expected future claims on products
sold, our estimated obligations for warranty matters based on information received from, and discussions with, our
customers, as well as $25 million pursuant to a settlement agreement reached in 2016 with one of our OEM
customers regarding warranty claims related to certain components supplied by Delphi’s Powertrain Systems
segment, partially offset by
• The $141 million pre-tax gain on the divestiture of the Mechatronics business recorded during the year ended
December 31, 2016, as further described in Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Amortization expense reflects the non-cash charge related to definite-lived intangible assets. The increase in amortization
during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015 resulted primarily from the acquisition of HellermannTyton in
December 2015. Refer to Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures to the audited consolidated financial statements included
herein for further detail of our business acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2015, including details of the intangible assets
recorded in each transaction.
In 2017, we expect to incur non-cash amortization charges of approximately $134 million.

Restructuring charges recorded during 2016 were primarily attributable to our restructuring programs which focused on
the continued rotation of our manufacturing footprint to low cost locations in Europe and on reducing global overhead costs.
The Company recorded employee-related and other restructuring charges related to these programs totaling approximately $328
million during the year ended December 31, 2016. These charges include $103 million for programs implemented to reduce
global overhead costs, as well as $170 million for programs focused on the continued rotation of our manufacturing footprint to
low cost locations in Europe, $93 million of which related to the closure of a European manufacturing site within the
Powertrain Systems segment. Cash payments for this restructuring action are expected to be principally completed in 2017.
Additionally, Delphi recognized non-cash asset impairment charges of $25 million during the year ended December 31, 2016
related to this plant closure, which were recorded within cost of sales. We expect to make cash payments of approximately
$155 million in 2017 pursuant to these implemented restructuring programs.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, Delphi recorded employee-related and other restructuring charges totaling
approximately $177 million, primarily related to Delphi's on-going restructuring programs focused on aligning manufacturing
capacity with the levels of automotive production in Europe and South America, and the continued rotation of our
manufacturing footprint to low cost locations within these regions. These charges included the recognition of approximately
$68 million of employee-related and other costs related to the initiation of a workforce reduction at a European manufacturing
site within the Powertrain Systems segment.
While the restructuring programs initiated in 2016 have been principally completed, we expect to continue to incur
additional restructuring expense in 2017, primarily related to the initiation of new programs focused on the continued rotation
of our manufacturing footprint to low cost locations in Europe and to reduce global overhead costs. Additionally, as we
continue to operate in a cyclical industry that is impacted by movements in the global and regional economies, we continually
evaluate opportunities to further adjust our cost structure and optimize our manufacturing footprint. The Company plans to
implement additional restructuring activities in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs
with prevailing regional automotive production levels and locations, to improve the efficiency and utilization of other locations
and in order to increase investment in advanced technologies and engineering. Such future restructuring actions are dependent
on market conditions, customer actions and other factors.
Refer to Note 10. Restructuring to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional

The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2015 reflects the issuance of $650 million of 3.15% senior unsecured notes and $650 million of 4.25% senior unsecured notes
in the fourth quarter of 2015, which issuances were conducted principally to finance a portion of the cost to acquire
HellermannTyton. Partially offsetting this increase, in September 2016, Delphi issued €500 million of 1.60% Euro-
denominated senior unsecured notes and $300 million of 4.40% senior unsecured notes, the combined net proceeds from which
were used to redeem $800 million of 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2023.

As further discussed in Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies to the audited consolidated financial statements
included herein, during the year ended December 31, 2016, Delphi recorded a reserve of $300 million as a result of a summary
judgment ruling in the Unsecured Creditors litigation. Also during the year ended December 31, 2016, Delphi redeemed for
cash the entire $800 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2023, which resulted in a loss on
extinguishment of debt of approximately $70 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, Delphi redeemed for cash the entire aggregate principal amount outstanding
of the 6.125% Senior Notes and cancelled the Senior Bridge Credit Agreement, resulting in losses on extinguishment of debt of
approximately $52 million and $6 million, respectively. Delphi also incurred approximately $23 million in transaction costs
related to the acquisition of HellermannTyton and, as further discussed in Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities,
recorded a loss of $15 million on option contracts entered into in order to hedge portions of the currency risk associated with
the acquisition of HellermannTyton. Partially offsetting these expenses, Delphi recorded $8 million for certain fees earned
pursuant to the transition services agreement in connection with the sale of the Company's wholly owned Thermal Systems
business, and $5 million of interest income.

The Company’s tax rate is affected by the fact that its parent entity is a U.K. resident taxpayer, the tax rates in the U.K.
and other jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the relative amount of income earned by jurisdiction and the relative
amount of losses or income for which no tax benefit or expense was recognized due to a valuation allowance.
The effective tax rate was 17% and 17% for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The effective tax
rate in the year ended December 31, 2016 was impacted by favorable geographic income mix in 2016 as compared to 2015,
primarily due to changes in the underlying operations of the business, as well as $17 million for releases of valuation
allowances as a result of the Company's determination that it was more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets would be
realized. These benefits were offset by $81 million of reserve adjustments recorded for uncertain tax positions, which included
reserves for ongoing audits in foreign jurisdictions, as well as for changes in estimates based on relevant new or additional
evidence obtained related to certain of the Company's tax positions, including tax authority administrative pronouncements and
court decisions. These reserve adjustments resulted in foreign tax credit benefits of approximately $18 million. Additionally,
following a change in U.S. tax regulation during 2016, the Company recorded a tax credit benefit of approximately $16 million
during the year ended December 31, 2016.
The effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2015 was impacted by increased tax expense of $15 million
resulting from changes in judgment related to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, as well as the enactment of the U.K.
Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (the “U.K. 2015 Finance Act”) on November 18, 2015, which provides for a reduction of the
corporate income tax rate from 20% to 19% effective April 1, 2017, with a further reduction to 18% effective April 1, 2020.
The income tax accounting effect, including any retroactive effect, of a tax law change is accounted for in the period of
enactment, which in this case was the fourth quarter of 2015. As a result, the effective tax rate was impacted by an increased tax
expense of approximately $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 due to the resultant impact on the net deferred tax
asset balances.

Equity income, net of tax reflects Delphi’s interest in the results of ongoing operations of entities accounted for as equity-
method investments. Equity income increased during the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2015, primarily due to improved performance of our North American joint ventures as compared to the prior
period.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax reflects the results of the Company's previously reported Thermal
Systems segment, which has been reclassified to discontinued operations as a result of the divestiture of this business. As
further described in Note 25. Discontinued Operations to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein, Delphi
completed the divestitures of the wholly owned Thermal Systems business on June 30, 2015, of its 50 percent interest in KDAC
on September 24, 2015 and of its 50 percent interest in SDAAC on March 31, 2016.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax decreased during the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2015. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the year ended December 31, 2016 was
primarily attributable to the after-tax gain of $104 million recognized from the sale of the Company's interest in its SDAAC
joint venture on March 31, 2016. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the year ended December 31, 2015 was
primarily attributable to the recognition of a net after-tax gain of $271 million on the sale of the Company's wholly owned
Thermal Systems business, partially offset by the net loss of $41 million on the divestiture of the Company's interest in KDAC
during 2015, which included the recognition of an after-tax impairment loss on this interest of $88 million recorded within
income from discontinued operations prior to the sale.
Refer to Note 25. Discontinued Operations to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional
information.
Results of Operations by Segment
We operate our core business along the following operating segments, which are grouped on the basis of similar product,
market and operating factors:
• Electrical/Electronic Architecture, which includes complete electrical architecture and component products.
•
Powertrain Systems, which includes extensive systems integration expertise in gasoline, diesel and fuel handling and
full end-to-end systems including fuel injection, combustion, electronic controls, test and validation capabilities,
electric and hybrid electric vehicle power electronics, aftermarket, and original equipment service.
• Electronics and Safety, which includes component and systems integration expertise in infotainment and
connectivity, body controls and security systems, displays and passive and active safety electronics, as well as
advanced development of software.
• Eliminations and Other, which includes i) the elimination of inter-segment transactions, and ii) certain other expenses
and income of a non-operating or strategic nature.
As described in Note 25. Discontinued Operations to the audited consolidated financial statements contained herein, the
Company's previously reported Thermal Systems segment has been classified as discontinued operations, which required
retrospective application to balance sheet, statement of operations and certain cash flow financial information for all periods
presented. Discontinued operations also includes the Company's thermal original equipment service business, the results of
which were previously reported within the Powertrain Systems segment. Certain operations, primarily related to contract
manufacturing services, which were previously included within the Thermal Systems segment but which were not included in
44
the scope of the divestiture, are reported in continuing operations and have been reclassified within the Electronics and Safety
segment for all periods presented. Amounts for shared general and administrative operating expenses that were allocated to the
Thermal Systems business in prior periods have been re-allocated to the Company's reportable operating segments.
As described in Note 23. Segment Reporting to the audited consolidated financial statements contained herein, effective
July 1, 2016, Delphi reorganized its management reporting structure by moving its Power Electronics product line, which was
historically included in the Electronics and Safety segment, to the Powertrain Systems segment. This reorganization was made
to better align the product offerings of the Power Electronics product line with the Company's approach to managing the
markets and customers served by this product line. Consistent with this change in the Company's management reporting
structure and basis of financial information used by the chief operating decision maker, the prior period results of the Power
Electronics product line have been reclassified from the Electronics and Safety segment to the Powertrain Systems segment for
all periods presented. The reclassification had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Our management utilizes segment Adjusted Operating Income as the key performance measure of segment income or loss
and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational
profitability or loss of our operating segments. Segment Adjusted Operating Income should not be considered a substitute for
results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to
Delphi, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted Operating Income that is prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Segment Adjusted Operating Income, as determined and measured by Delphi, should also not be compared to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to Operating Income includes, as applicable, restructuring, other
acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute
product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures), asset impairments and
gains (losses) on business divestitures. The reconciliations of Adjusted Operating Income to net income attributable to Delphi
for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

performance improvements, as well as the following items included in Other in the table above:
•
•
Increased warranty costs of $60 million, which includes increased reserves for expected future claims on products
sold, our estimated obligations for warranty matters based on information received from, and discussions with, our
customers, as well as $25 million pursuant to a settlement agreement reached in 2016 with one of our OEM
customers regarding warranty claims related to certain components supplied by Delphi’s Powertrain Systems
segment, and
$70 million of increased depreciation and amortization, not including depreciation and amortization of businesses
acquired and divested; partially offset by
• Net increased adjusted operating income of $95 million resulting from the operations of the businesses acquired and
divested, primarily resulting from the operations of HellermannTyton, partially offset by a reduction resulting from
the divestiture of our Reception Systems business in 2015.

Total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased 2% compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. We
experienced volume growth of 8% for the period, primarily as a result of increased sales in North America, Europe and Asia
Pacific, which was offset by decreases due to unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the Euro, and contractual price
reductions. Net sales also increased by a net $59 million as a result of the impact of our acquisitions and divestitures, reflected
in Other above, primarily resulting from the net sales of the Antaya and Unwired businesses that were acquired in the fourth
quarter of 2014, partially offset by a reduction in sales resulting from the divestiture of our Reception Systems business in the
third quarter of 2015.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is primarily comprised of material, labor, manufacturing overhead, freight, fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates, product engineering, design and development expenses, depreciation and amortization, warranty costs and
other operating expenses. Gross margin is revenue less cost of sales and gross margin percentage is gross margin as a
percentage of net sales.
48
Cost of sales decreased $316 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31,
2014, as summarized below. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 50% of net sales in both the year ended
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The decrease in cost of sales reflects improved operational performance and the impacts from currency exchange,
partially offset by increased volumes before contractual price reductions for the period. The decrease in cost of sales is also
attributable to the following items in Other above:
• A decrease of $140 million in commodity costs; partially offset by
• Net increased costs of $38 million resulting from the operations of the businesses acquired and divested, as further
described in Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures;
• An increase of $12 million in warranty costs; and
• The net loss of $8 million recorded on business divestitures in 2015, comprised of $47 million in losses incurred on
the exit of our Argentina businesses, partially offset by the $39 million gain resulting from the sale of the Reception
Systems businesses, as further described in Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Restructuring charges recorded during 2015 were primarily related to on-going restructuring programs, which included
workforce reductions as well as plant closures, which were focused on aligning our manufacturing capacity with the
automotive production levels in Europe and South America and the continued rotation of our manufacturing footprint to low
cost locations within these regions. These charges included the recognition of approximately $68 million of employee-related
and other costs related to the initiation of a plant closure of a European manufacturing site within the Powertrain Systems
segment in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Restructuring expenses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2014 were primarily attributable to the expenses
incurred in conjunction with our on-going restructuring programs focused on aligning our manufacturing capacity and footprint
with the automotive production levels in Europe and South America. These charges included the recognition of employee-
related and other costs of $35 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 for the initiation of a new restructuring
program at a European manufacturing site within the Powertrain Systems segment in the second quarter of 2014.

The decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2014 reflected a reduction in interest expense from the redemption of the 6.125% Senior Notes, partially offset by the issuance
of €700 million of 1.50% 2015 Euro-denominated Senior Notes in February 2015 and the issuance of the $1.3 billion 2015
Senior Notes in November 2015.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, Delphi redeemed for cash the entire aggregate principal amount outstanding
of the 6.125% Senior Notes and cancelled the Senior Bridge Credit Agreement, resulting in losses on extinguishment of debt of
approximately $52 million and $6 million, respectively. Delphi also incurred approximately $23 million in transaction costs
related to the acquisition of HellermannTyton and, as further discussed in Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities,
recorded a loss of $15 million on option contracts entered into in order to hedge portions of the currency risk associated with
the acquisition of HellermannTyton. Partially offsetting these expenses, Delphi recorded $8 million for certain fees earned
pursuant to the transition services agreement in connection with the sale of the Company's wholly owned Thermal Systems
business, and $5 million of interest income.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, Delphi repaid a portion of the Tranche A Term Loan and redeemed the
5.875% Senior Notes, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $34 million. Additionally, during the year ended
50
December 31, 2014, Delphi incurred approximately $6 million in transaction costs related to its 2014 acquisitions. Partially
offsetting these expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014, Delphi recorded $10 million of interest income and also
reached a final settlement with its insurance carrier related to a business interruption insurance claim, and received proceeds
from the settlement of approximately $14 million, net of related costs and expenses.

The Company’s tax rate is affected by the fact that its parent entity is a U.K. resident taxpayer, the tax rates in the U.K.
and other jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the relative amount of income earned by jurisdiction and the relative
amount of losses or income for which no tax benefit or expense was recognized due to a valuation allowance.
The effective tax rate was 17% and 16% for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax
rate in the year ended December 31, 2015 was impacted by increased tax expense of $15 million resulting from changes in
judgment related to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, as well as the enactment of the UK Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (the
“UK 2015 Finance Act”) on November 18, 2015, which provides for a reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 20% to
19% effective April 1, 2017, with a further reduction to 18% effective April 1, 2020. The income tax accounting effect,
including any retroactive effect, of a tax law change is accounted for in the period of enactment, which in this case was the
fourth quarter of 2015. As a result, the effective tax rate was impacted by an increased tax expense of approximately $11
million for the year ended December 31, 2015 due to the resultant impact on the net deferred tax asset balances. Additionally,
the effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2015 was impacted by unfavorable geographic income mix in 2015 as
compared to 2014, primarily due to changes in the underlying operations of the business, offset by tax planning initiatives and
the resulting favorable impact on foreign tax credits.
The effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2014 was impacted by favorable geographic income mix in 2014 as
compared to 2013, primarily due to changes in the underlying operations of the business as well as tax planning initiatives, and
the resulting favorable impact on foreign tax credits. These favorable impacts were offset by net increases resulting from
changes in judgment related to deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $18 million in 2014.

method investments. Equity income decreased during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2014, which was primarily attributable to declines in performance at certain of our joint ventures in 2015 as
compared to 2014.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax reflects the results of the Company's previously reported Thermal
Systems segment, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations as a result of the sale of this business. Income from
discontinued operations, net of tax increased during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2014 primarily due the recognition of a net gain of $271 million from the sale of the Company's wholly owned
Thermal Systems business. This gain was partially offset by the net loss of $41 million on the divestiture of the Company's
interest in KDAC, which includes the $88 million impairment of this interest that was recorded prior to the sale. As further
described in Note 25. Discontinued Operations, post-closing adjustments have been recorded subsequent to the closing of the
sale of the wholly owned Thermal Systems business.
Refer to Note 25. Discontinued Operations to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional
information.
Results of Operations by Segment
As described in Note 25. Discontinued Operations to the audited consolidated financial statements contained herein, the
Company's previously reported Thermal Systems segment has been classified as discontinued operations, which required
retrospective application to balance sheet, statement of operations and certain cash flow financial information for all periods
presented. Discontinued operations also includes the Company's thermal original equipment service business, the results of
which were previously reported within the Powertrain Systems segment. Certain operations, primarily related to contract
manufacturing services, which were previously included within the Thermal Systems segment but which were not included in
the scope of the divestiture, are reported in continuing operations and have been reclassified within the Electronics and Safety
segment for all periods presented. Amounts for shared general and administrative operating expenses that were allocated to the
Thermal Systems business in prior periods have been re-allocated to the Company's reportable operating segments.
Effective July 1, 2016, Delphi reorganized its management reporting structure by moving its Power Electronics product
line, which was historically included in the Electronics and Safety segment, to the Powertrain Systems segment. This
reorganization was made to better align the product offerings of the Power Electronics product line with the Company's
approach to managing the markets and customers served by this product line. Consistent with this change in the Company's
management reporting structure and basis of financial information used by the chief operating decision maker, the prior period
results of the Power Electronics product line have been reclassified from the Electronics and Safety segment to the Powertrain
Systems segment for all periods presented. The reclassification had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to Operating Income includes, as applicable, restructuring, other
acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute
product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures), asset impairments and
gains (losses) on business divestitures. The reconciliations of Adjusted Operating Income to net income attributable to Delphi

As noted in the table above, Adjusted Operating Income for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 2014 was impacted by volume and contractual price reductions, including product mix and operational
performance improvements, as well as the following items included in Other in the table above:
•
$181 million of unfavorable foreign currency impacts, primarily related to the Euro; and
• An increase of $12 million in warranty costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Capital Structure
Our liquidity requirements are primarily to fund our business operations, including capital expenditures and working
capital requirements, as well as to fund debt service requirements, operational restructuring activities and dividends on share
capital. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our existing cash balance, and as necessary,
borrowings under available credit facilities and issuance of long-term debt. To the extent we generate discretionary cash flow
we may consider using this additional cash flow for optional prepayments of existing indebtedness, strategic acquisitions,
additional share repurchases, and/or general corporate purposes. We will also continually explore ways to enhance our capital
structure.
As of December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 billion and net debt (defined as outstanding debt less
cash and cash equivalents) of $3.1 billion. We also have access to additional liquidity pursuant to the terms of the $2.0 billion
Revolving Credit Facility and the €400 million European accounts receivable factoring facility, of which €350 million is
available on a committed basis, as described below.
The following table summarizes our available liquidity, which includes cash, cash equivalents and funds available under
our significant committed credit facilities, as of December 31, 2016. The amounts disclosed as available under the Company’s
significant committed credit facilities are available without violating our existing debt covenants, which are described below.
Cash and cash equivalents...................................................................................................................................... $

We expect existing cash, available liquidity and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our global
operating activities, including restructuring payments, any mandatory payments required under the Credit Agreement as
described below, dividends on ordinary shares and capital expenditures. In addition, we expect to continue to repurchase
outstanding common shares pursuant to our authorized common share repurchase program, as further described below.
We also continue to expect to be able to move funds between different countries to manage our global liquidity needs
without material adverse tax implications, subject to current monetary policies and to the terms of the Credit Agreement. While
a substantial portion of our operating income is generated by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, and as of December 31, 2016, the
Company's cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries totaled $799 million, we utilize a combination of
strategies, including dividends, cash pooling arrangements, intercompany loan repayments and other distributions and advances
to provide the funds necessary to meet our global liquidity needs. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of our
subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Delphi. If additional non-U.S. cash was needed for our U.S.
operations, we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate such funds; however, based on our current liquidity
needs and repatriation strategies, we do not anticipate a need to repatriate such additional amounts. Additionally, the Company
is a U.K. resident taxpayer and as such is not generally subject to U.K. tax on remitted foreign earnings. As a result, we do not
anticipate foreign earnings would be subject to a 35% tax rate upon repatriation to the U.K., as is the case when U.S. based
companies repatriate earnings to the U.S. For further information regarding undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries,
see Note 14. Income Taxes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Based on these factors, we believe we possess sufficient liquidity to fund our global operations and capital investments in
2017 and beyond.
Share Repurchases
In April 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion of ordinary shares,
which commenced in September 2016 following the completion of the Company's $1.5 billion January 2015 share repurchase
program. This share repurchase program provides for share purchases in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, depending on share price, market conditions and other factors, as determined by the Company.

share repurchase program. During the period from January 1, 2017 to February 2, 2017, the Company repurchased an
additional $23 million worth of shares pursuant to a trading plan with set trading instructions established by the Company. As a
result, approximately $1,349 million of share repurchases remain available under the April 2016 share repurchase program. All
repurchased shares were retired, and are reflected as a reduction of ordinary share capital for the par value of the shares, with
the excess applied as reductions to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

HellermannTyton—On December 18, 2015, pursuant to the terms of a recommended offer made on July 30, 2015, Delphi
completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued ordinary share capital of HellermannTyton Group PLC ("HellermannTyton") a
56
public limited company based in the United Kingdom, and a leading global manufacturer of high-performance and innovative
cable management solutions. The acquisition of HellermannTyton expands Delphi’s product portfolio within the connected
vehicle solutions market and will help capitalize on the connected car megatrend. The acquisition also further strengthens
Delphi’s leading position in the electrical architecture market, while providing a platform to grow in HellermannTyton’s
adjacent industrial end markets, including aerospace, defense, alternative energy and mass transit.
Delphi paid 480 pence per HellermannTyton share, or approximately $1.5 billion in the aggregate, net of cash acquired.
HellermannTyton had 2014 sales of approximately €600 million (approximately 6% of which were to Delphi and will be
eliminated on a consolidated basis). Approximately $242 million of HellermannTyton outstanding debt to third-party creditors
was assumed and subsequently paid off. Upon completing the acquisition, Delphi incurred transaction related expenses totaling
approximately $23 million, which were recorded within other income (expense), net in the statement of operations in the fourth
quarter of 2015. The results of operations of HellermannTyton are reported within the Electrical/Electronic Architecture

Delphi financed the cash payment required to close the acquisition of HellermannTyton primarily with the net proceeds
received from the offering of $1.3 billion of 2015 Senior Notes, as further described below, with the remainder of the purchase
price funded with cash on hand that was received from the sale of the Company's Thermal Systems business, as further

Credit Agreement
Delphi Automotive PLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Delphi Corporation entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), under which it maintains
senior secured credit facilities currently consisting of a term loan (the “Tranche A Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility of
$2.0 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement was entered into in March 2011 and has been
subsequently amended and restated on several occasions, most recently on August 17, 2016. The 2016 amendment extended the
maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Loan from 2018 to 2021, increased the capacity of the
58
Revolving Credit Facility from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and permitted Delphi Automotive PLC to act as a borrower on the
Revolving Credit Facility. A loss on debt extinguishment of $3 million was recorded within other income (expense), net in the
consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2016 in conjunction with the 2016 amendment.
The Tranche A Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility mature on August 17, 2021. Delphi is obligated to make
quarterly principal payments, beginning December 31, 2017, throughout the term of the Tranche A Term Loan according to the
amortization schedule in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature that permits Delphi to
increase, from time to time, the aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by up to an additional $1 billion (or
a greater amount based upon a formula set forth in the Credit Agreement) upon Delphi's request, the agreement of the lenders
participating in the increase, and the approval of the Administrative Agent and existing lenders.
As of December 31, 2016, there were no amounts drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $7 million
in letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement reduce availability
under the Revolving Credit Facility. The maximum amount drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility during the year ended
December 31, 2016 to manage intra-month working capital requirements was $272 million.
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Delphi's option, at either (a) the Administrative Agent’s Alternate Base
Rate (“ABR” as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate” as
defined in the Credit Agreement) (“LIBOR”) plus in either case a percentage per annum as set forth in the table below (the
“Applicable Rate”). The Applicable Rates under the Credit Agreement on the specified dates are set forth below:

The Applicable Rate under the Credit Agreement may increase or decrease from time to time based on changes in the
Company's credit ratings. Accordingly, the interest rate will fluctuate during the term of the Credit Agreement based on changes
in the ABR, LIBOR or future changes in the Company's corporate credit ratings. The Credit Agreement also requires that
Delphi pay certain facility fees on the Revolving Credit Facility and certain letter of credit issuance and fronting fees.
The interest rate period with respect to LIBOR interest rate options can be set at one-, two-, three-, or six-months as
selected by Delphi in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (or other period as may be agreed by the applicable
lenders). Delphi may elect to change the selected interest rate option in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement. As of December 31, 2016, Delphi selected the one-month LIBOR interest rate option on the Tranche A Term Loan,
and the rate effective as of December 31, 2016, as detailed in the table below, was based on the Company's current credit rating
and the Applicable Rate for the Credit Agreement:

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are prepayable at Delphi's option without premium or penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s (and the Company’s
subsidiaries’) ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or liens or to dispose of substantially all of its assets. In addition,
the Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of Consolidated Total
Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) of less than 3.50 to 1.0. The Credit
Agreement also contains events of default customary for financings of this type. The Company was in compliance with the
Credit Agreement covenants as of December 31, 2016.
As of December 31, 2016, all obligations under the Credit Agreement were borrowed by Delphi Corporation and jointly
and severally guaranteed by its direct and indirect parent companies, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit
Agreement. Refer to Note 22. Supplemental Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements for
additional information.

Other Financing
Receivable factoring—Delphi maintains a €400 million European accounts receivable factoring facility, of which €350
million is available on a committed basis. This facility is accounted for as short-term debt and borrowings are subject to the
availability of eligible accounts receivable. Collateral is not required related to these trade accounts receivable. This program
matures on August 31, 2017, and will automatically renew on a non-committed, indefinite basis unless terminated by either
party. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.05% for borrowings denominated in pounds sterling and Euro Interbank
Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus 0.80% for borrowings denominated in Euros. No amounts were outstanding on the European
accounts receivable factoring facility as of December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015. The maximum amount drawn under the
European facility during the year ended December 31, 2016 to manage working capital requirements was $436 million.
The Company has entered into arrangements with various financial institutions to sell eligible trade receivables from
certain aftermarket customers in North America. These arrangements can be terminated at any time subject to prior written
notice. The receivables under these arrangements are sold without recourse to the Company and are therefore accounted for as
true sales. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, $123 million and $100 million of receivables were sold under
these arrangements, and expenses of $3 million and $2 million, respectively, were recognized within interest expense.
In addition, in 2016 and 2015 one of the Company’s European subsidiaries factored, without recourse, receivables related
to certain foreign research tax credits to a financial institution. These transactions were accounted for as true sales of the
receivables, and the Company therefore derecognized approximately $26 million from other long-term assets and $27 million
from other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, as a
result of these transactions.
Capital leases and other—As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately $42 million and
approximately $77 million, respectively, of other debt issued by certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and capital lease obligations were
outstanding.
Government programs—Delphi commonly seeks manufacturing development and financial assistance incentive
programs that may be awarded by government entities. Delphi has numerous technology development programs that are
competitively awarded from agencies of the U.S. Federal Government, primarily from the U.S. Department of Energy
(“DOE”). We received approximately $3 million from Federal agencies in the year ended December 31, 2016 for work
performed. These programs supplement our internal research and development funds and directly support our product focus of
Safe, Green and Connected. We continue to pursue many technology development programs by bidding on competitively
procured programs from DOE, as well as the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”). Some of these programs were bid
with us being the lead or “Prime Contractor”, and some were bid with us as a “Subrecipient” to the Prime Contractor. For the
year ended December 31, 2016, Delphi was awarded four new programs with over $6 million of U.S. Government funds that
will be received over the next 48 months.

Contractual Commitments
The following table summarizes our expected cash outflows resulting from financial contracts and commitments as of
December 31, 2016, with amounts denominated in foreign currencies translated using foreign currency rates as of
December 31, 2016. We have not included information on our recurring purchases of materials for use in our manufacturing
operations. These amounts are generally consistent from year to year, closely reflect our levels of production, and are not long-
term in nature. The amounts below exclude the gross liability for uncertain tax positions of $188 million as of December 31,
2016. We do not expect a significant payment related to these obligations to be made within the next twelve months. We are not
able to provide a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payments relating to the non-current portion of obligations
associated with uncertain tax positions. For more information, refer to Note 14. Income Taxes to the audited consolidated
financial statements included herein. The amounts below also exclude the reserve of $300 million for the Unsecured Creditors

In addition to the obligations discussed above, certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans,
some of which are funded. We have minimum funding requirements with respect to certain of our pension obligations and may
periodically elect to make discretionary contributions to the plans in support of risk management initiatives. We will also have
payments due with respect to our other postretirement benefit obligations. We do not fund our other postretirement benefit
obligations and payments are made as costs are incurred by covered retirees. Refer to Note 12. Pension Benefits to the audited
consolidated financial statements included herein for additional detail regarding our expected contributions to our pension plans
and expected distributions to participants in future periods.
Capital Expenditures
Supplier selection in the auto industry is generally finalized several years prior to the start of production of the vehicle.
Therefore, current capital expenditures are based on customer commitments entered into previously, generally several years ago
when the customer contract was awarded. As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately $130 million in outstanding
cancellable and non-cancellable capital commitments. Capital expenditures by operating segment and geographic region for the
periods presented were:

Cash Flows
Intra-month cash flow cycles vary by region, but in general we are users of cash through the first half of a typical month
and we generate cash during the latter half of a typical month. Due to this cycle of cash flows, we may utilize short-term
financing, including our Revolving Credit Facility and European accounts receivable factoring facility, to manage our intra-
month working capital needs. Our cash balance typically peaks at month end.
We utilize a combination of strategies, including dividends, cash pooling arrangements, intercompany loan structures and
other distributions and advances to provide the funds necessary to meet our global liquidity needs. We utilize a global cash
pooling arrangement to consolidate and manage our global cash balances, which enables us to efficiently move cash into and
out of a number of the countries in which we operate.
Operating activities—Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations totaled $1,941 million and
$1,667 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash flow from operating activities from
continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 consisted primarily of net earnings from continuing operations of
$1,218 million, increased by $839 million for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, pension and other
postretirement benefit expenses and extinguishment of debt, partially offset by $101 million related to changes in operating
assets and liabilities, net of restructuring and pension contributions. Cash flow from operating activities from continuing
operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 consisted primarily of net earnings from continuing operations of $1,261
million, increased by $673 million for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, pension and other postretirement
benefit expenses and extinguishment of debt, partially offset by $336 million related to changes in operating assets and
liabilities, net of restructuring and pension contributions.
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations totaled $2,045 million for the year ended
December 31, 2014, which consisted of net earnings from continuing operations of $1,380 million, increased by $662 million
for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, pension and other postretirement benefit expenses and extinguishment
of debt, partially offset by $54 million related to changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of restructuring and pension
contributions.
Investing activities—Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations totaled $574 million and $1,630
million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in usage is primarily attributable to $1,654
million that was paid for business acquisitions in 2015, principally HellermannTyton, as compared to $15 million paid for
business acquisitions in 2016. This decrease was partially offset by $124 million of increased capital expenditures during the
year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to 2015, as well as a reduction in proceeds received from divestitures. During
2015, net proceeds of $730 million were received from the sales of our wholly owned Thermal Systems business and KDAC
joint venture, as compared to net proceeds of $48 million received from the sale of discontinued operations and $197 million
received from the sale of the Mechatronics business during the year ended December 31, 2016.
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations totaled $1,112 million for the year ended December 31,
2014 which resulted primarily from capital expenditures of $779 million and $345 million paid for business acquisitions,
partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property / investments of $15 million.
Financing activities—Net cash used in financing activities totaled $1,081 million and $284 million for the years ended
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016
primarily included the net proceeds of approximately $852 million received from the issuance of the 2016 Euro-denominated
Senior Notes and the 2016 Senior Notes, which were primarily utilized to redeem the $800 million 2013 Senior Notes, as well
as $634 million paid to repurchase ordinary shares and $317 million of dividend payments. During the year ended
December 31, 2015, net proceeds of $1.3 billion were received from the issuance of the 2015 Senior Notes in order to fund a
portion of the acquisition of HellermannTyton, and net proceeds of $753 million were received from the issuance of the 2015
Euro-denominated Senior Notes, which were partially utilized to redeem the 6.125% Senior Notes. Additionally, $1,159 million
was paid to repurchase ordinary shares and $286 million of dividend payments were made in 2015.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $1,398 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net proceeds of
approximately $691 million received from the issuance of the 2014 Senior Notes were primarily used to redeem the 5.875%
Senior Notes and to repay a portion of the Tranche A Term Loan. Additionally, $1,024 million was paid to repurchase ordinary
shares and $301 million of dividend payments were made.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Matters
We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financial arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material
current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Pension Benefits
Certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans, which generally provide benefits based on
negotiated amounts for each year of service. Our primary non-U.S. plans are located in France, Germany, Mexico, Portugal and
the United Kingdom ("U.K."). The U.K. and certain Mexican plans are funded. In addition, we have defined benefit plans in
South Korea, Turkey and Italy for which amounts are payable to employees immediately upon separation. The obligations for
these plans are recorded over the requisite service period. We anticipate making pension contributions and benefit payments of
approximately $65 million for non-U.S. plans in 2017.
Delphi sponsors a Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (“SERP”) for those employees who were U.S. executives
of DPHH prior to September 30, 2008 and were still U.S. executives of Delphi on October 7, 2009, the effective date of the
program. This program is unfunded. Executives receive benefits over 5 years after an involuntary or voluntary separation from
Delphi. The SERP is closed to new members and was frozen effective September 30, 2008. There are no required contributions
for the SERP in 2017, although we anticipate making benefit payments of approximately $11 million for the SERP in 2017.
Refer to Note 12. Pension Benefits to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for further
information on (1) historical benefit costs of the pension plans, (2) the principal assumptions used to determine the pension
benefit expense and the actuarial value of the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, (3) a
sensitivity analysis of potential changes to pension obligations and expense that would result from changes in key assumptions
and (4) funding obligations.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to the requirements of U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S., environmental and safety and health
laws and regulations. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge, hazardous materials and waste
management. We have an environmental management structure designed to facilitate and support our compliance with these
requirements globally. Although it is our intent to comply with all such requirements and regulations, we cannot provide
assurance that we are at all times in compliance. Environmental requirements are complex, change frequently and have tended
to become more stringent over time. Accordingly, we cannot assure that environmental requirements will not change or become
more stringent over time or that our eventual environmental remediation costs and liabilities will not be material.
Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of
removal or remediation of hazardous substances. In addition to clean-up actions brought by U.S. federal, state, local and non-
U.S. agencies, plaintiffs could raise personal injury or other private claims due to the presence of hazardous substances on or
from a property. At this time, we are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental
remediation matters at certain of our present and former facilities. In addition, there may be soil or groundwater contamination
at several of our properties resulting from historical, ongoing or nearby activities.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation was
approximately $6 million (of which $1 million was recorded in accrued liabilities and $5 million was recorded in other long-
term liabilities) and $4 million (of which $1 million was recorded in accrued liabilities and $3 million was recorded in other
long-term liabilities). Additionally, as of December 31, 2015, approximately $6 million of undiscounted reserve for
environmental investigation and remediation attributable to discontinued operations was included within liabilities held for
sale. Delphi cannot ensure that environmental requirements will not change or become more stringent over time or that its
eventual environmental remediation costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current reserves. In the event that
such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded, Delphi’s results of operations could be materially affected.
Legal Proceedings
For a description of our legal proceedings, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies to the audited consolidated
financial statements included herein. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by
management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are
subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing
contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other
outside sources, as appropriate.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:
•
It requires us to make assumptions about matters that were uncertain at the time we were making the estimate, and
• Changes in the estimate or different estimates that we could have selected would have had a material impact on our
financial condition or results of operations.
Acquisitions
In accordance with accounting guidance for the provisions in FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, we allocate the
purchase price of an acquired business to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the
purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. In addition, an acquisition
may include a contingent consideration component, such as our acquisition agreements for Antaya, Ottomatika and Control-
Tec. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated as of the date of the acquisition and is recorded as part of the
purchase price. This estimate is updated in future periods and any changes in the estimate, which are not considered an
adjustment to the purchase price, are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations.
We use all available information to estimate fair values. We typically engage outside appraisal firms to assist in the fair
value determination of identifiable intangible assets and any other significant assets or liabilities. We adjust the preliminary
purchase price allocation, as necessary, up to one year after the acquisition closing date as we obtain more information
regarding asset valuations and liabilities assumed.
Our purchase price allocation methodology contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions
and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. Management estimates the fair value of assets
and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation
techniques, including discounted cash flows and market multiple analyses. Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur
which could affect the accuracy of our fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry economic factors and
business strategies.
Other estimates used in determining fair value include, but are not limited to, future cash flows or income related to
intangibles, market rate assumptions, actuarial assumptions for benefit plans and appropriate discount rates. Our estimates of
fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain, and therefore, may not be
realized. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the valuations will be
realized, and actual results could vary materially.
Warranty Obligations and Product Recall Costs
Estimating warranty obligations requires us to forecast the resolution of existing claims and expected future claims on
products sold. We base our estimate on historical trends of units sold and payment amounts, combined with our current
understanding of the status of existing claims and discussions with our customers. The key factors which impact our estimates
are (1) the stated or implied warranty period; (2) OEM source; (3) OEM policy decisions regarding warranty claims; and
(4) OEMs seeking to hold suppliers responsible for product warranties. These estimates are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.
Actual warranty obligations could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to existing reserves in future
periods. Due to the uncertainty and potential volatility of the factors contributing to developing these estimates, changes in our
assumptions could materially affect our results of operations.
In addition to our ordinary warranty provisions with customers, we are also at risk for product recall costs, which are
costs incurred when a customer or the Company recalls a product through a formal campaign soliciting return of that product.
In addition, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") has the authority, under certain circumstances, to
require recalls to remedy safety concerns. Product recall costs typically include the cost of the product being replaced as well as
the customer’s cost of the recall, including labor to remove and replace the recalled part. The Company accrues for costs related
to product recalls as part of our warranty accrual at the time an obligation becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Actual costs incurred could differ from the amounts estimated, requiring adjustments to these reserves in future periods. It is
possible that changes in our assumptions or future product recall issues could materially affect our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
65
Legal and Other Contingencies
We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including commercial or contractual disputes,
product liability claims, government investigations, product warranties and environmental and other matters, that arise in the
normal course of business. We routinely assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to these matters, as
well as ranges of probable losses, by consulting with internal personnel involved with such matters as well as with outside legal
counsel handling such matters. We have accrued for estimated losses for those matters where we believe that the likelihood of a
loss has occurred, is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The determination of the amount of such
reserves is based on knowledge and experience with regard to past and current matters and consultation with internal personnel
involved with such matters and with outside legal counsel handling such matters. The amount of such reserves may change in
the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances. The inherent uncertainty related to the outcome of these
matters can result in amounts materially different from any provisions made with respect to their resolution.
Restructuring
Accruals have been recorded in conjunction with our restructuring actions. These accruals include estimates primarily
related to employee termination costs, contract termination costs and other related exit costs in conjunction with workforce
reduction and programs related to the rationalization of manufacturing and engineering processes. Actual costs may vary from
these estimates. These accruals are reviewed on a quarterly basis and changes to restructuring actions are appropriately
recognized when identified.
Pensions
We use actuarial estimates and related actuarial methods to calculate our obligation and expense. We are required to
select certain actuarial assumptions, which are determined based on current market conditions, historical information and
consultation with and input from our actuaries and asset managers. Refer to Note 12. Pension Benefits to the audited
consolidated financial statements included herein for additional details. The key factors which impact our estimates are
(1) discount rates; (2) asset return assumptions; and (3) actuarial assumptions such as retirement age and mortality which are
determined as of the current year measurement date. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make
modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when appropriate. Experience gains and losses, as well as
the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions are recognized in other comprehensive income. Cumulative
actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) for a particular plan are amortized over
the average future service period of the employees in that plan.
The principal assumptions used to determine the pension expense and the actuarial value of the projected benefit
obligation for the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans were:

We select discount rates by analyzing the results of matching each plan’s projected benefit obligations with a portfolio of
high-quality fixed income investments rated AA- or higher by Standard and Poor’s.
Delphi does not have any U.S. pension assets; therefore no U.S. asset rate of return calculation was necessary for 2016,
2015 or 2014. The primary funded non-U.S. plans are in the United Kingdom and Mexico. For the determination of 2016
66
expense, we assumed a long-term expected asset rate of return of approximately 5.75% and 7.50% for the United Kingdom and
Mexico, respectively. We evaluated input from local actuaries and asset managers, including consideration of recent fund
performance and historical returns, in developing the long-term rate of return assumptions. The assumptions for the United
Kingdom and Mexico are primarily conservative long-term, prospective rates. To determine the expected return on plan assets,
the market-related value of approximately 50% of our plan assets is actual fair value. The expected return on the remainder of
our plan assets is determined by applying the expected long-term rate of return on assets to a calculated market-related value of
these plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of the plan assets in a systematic manner over five years.
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company changed the method used to estimate the service and interest cost components of
net periodic benefit cost for pension and other postretirement benefit plans that utilize a yield curve approach. Historically, the
Company estimated these service and interest cost components utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from
the yield curve used to measure the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. The Company elected to utilize a
full yield curve approach in the estimation of these components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in
the determination of the projected benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The Company made this change to
provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash
flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. This change does not affect the measurement of the total benefit obligations.
The Company has accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate and accordingly accounted for it on a
prospective basis. The reduction in service and interest costs associated with this change in estimate for the year ended
December 31, 2016 was less than $10 million.
Our pension expense for 2017 is determined at the December 31, 2016 measurement date. For purposes of analysis, the
following table highlights the sensitivity of our pension obligations and expense to changes in key assumptions:
Change in Assumption
25 basis point (“bp”) decrease in discount rate.................................................................
25 bp increase in discount rate ..........................................................................................
25 bp decrease in long-term expected return on assets .....................................................

Impact on Pension
Expense
Impact on PBO
+ $8 million
+ $101 million
- $7 million
+ $3 million
- $3 million
- $94 million
—
—
The above sensitivities reflect the effect of changing one assumption at a time. It should be noted that economic factors
and conditions often affect multiple assumptions simultaneously and the effects of changes in key assumptions are not
necessarily linear. The above sensitivities also assume no changes to the design of the pension plans and no major restructuring
programs.
Based on information provided by our actuaries and asset managers, we believe that the assumptions used are reasonable;
however, changes in these assumptions could impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note
12. Pension Benefits to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.
Accounts Receivable Allowance
Establishing valuation allowances for doubtful accounts requires the use of estimates and judgment in regard to the risk
exposure and ultimate realization. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon analysis of trade receivables
for known collectability issues, including bankruptcies, and aging of receivables at the end of each period. Changes to our
assumptions could materially affect our recorded allowance.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Investments in Affiliates and Expected Useful Lives
We monitor our long-lived and definite-lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis based on projections
of anticipated future cash flows, including future profitability assessments of various manufacturing sites when events and
circumstances warrant such a review. If impairment indicators exist, we perform the required impairment analysis by
comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If
the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is
measured as the difference between the net book value and the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets. Even if an
impairment charge is not required, a reassessment of the useful lives over which depreciation or amortization is being
recognized may be appropriate based on our assessment of the recoverability of these assets. We estimate cash flows and fair
value using internal budgets based on recent sales data, independent automotive production volume estimates and customer
commitments and review of appraisals. The key factors which impact our estimates are (1) future production estimates;
(2) customer preferences and decisions; (3) product pricing; (4) manufacturing and material cost estimates; and (5) product
life / business retention. Any differences in actual results from the estimates could result in fair values different from the
estimated fair values, which could materially impact our future results of operations and financial condition. We believe that the
67
projections of anticipated future cash flows and fair value assumptions are reasonable; however, changes in assumptions
underlying these estimates could affect our valuations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We periodically review goodwill for impairment indicators. We review goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth
quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company
performs the goodwill impairment review at the reporting unit level. We perform a qualitative assessment (step 0) of whether it
is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment
testing is performed. If so, we perform the step 1 and step 2 tests discussed hereafter. Our qualitative assessment involves
significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments, including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and
market conditions, financial performance of the Company, reporting unit specific events and changes in the Company's share
price.
If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount (step 1), goodwill is not considered to be impaired
and the second step is not required. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of a future discounted
cash flow valuation model and, if possible, a comparable market transaction model. Estimating fair value requires the Company
to make judgments about appropriate discount rates, growth rates, relevant comparable company earnings multiples and the
amount and timing of expected future cash flows. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an entity
must perform the second step to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step requires a reporting unit to
compare its implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair
value, the reporting unit would recognize an impairment loss for that excess. We estimate implied fair value of goodwill in the
same way as goodwill is recognized in a business combination. We estimate fair value of the reporting unit’s identifiable net
assets excluding goodwill is compared to the fair value of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a
business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. If the carrying amount of the
reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal
to that excess.
We review indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired. Similar to the goodwill assessment described above, the Company first
performs a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If
necessary, the Company then performs a quantitative impairment test by comparing the estimated fair of the asset, based upon
its forecasted cash flows, to its carrying value. Other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their useful lives
and are subject to impairment testing only if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, as described
above.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market, including direct material
costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs. Refer to Note 3. Inventories to the audited consolidated financial statements
included herein. Obsolete inventory is identified based on analysis of inventory for known obsolescence issues, and, as of
December 31, 2016, the market value of inventory on hand in excess of one year’s supply is generally fully-reserved.
From time to time, payments may be received from suppliers. These payments from suppliers are recognized as a
reduction of the cost of the material acquired during the period to which the payments relate. In some instances, supplier
rebates are received in conjunction with or concurrent with the negotiation of future purchase agreements and these amounts
are amortized over the prospective agreement period.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial
and tax reporting purposes. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect
when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that
is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in tax laws or accounting standards and methods may affect recorded deferred
taxes in future periods.
When establishing a valuation allowance, we consider future sources of taxable income such as “future reversals of
existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards”
and “tax planning strategies.” A tax planning strategy is defined as “an action that: is prudent and feasible; an enterprise
ordinarily might not take, but would take to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused; and
would result in realization of deferred tax assets.” In the event we determine it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax assets will be charged to earnings in the
period in which we make such a determination. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment and accounting for the
68
deferred tax effect of events that have been recorded in the financial statements or in tax returns and our future projected
profitability. Changes in our estimates, due to unforeseen events or otherwise, could have a material impact on our financial
condition and results of operations.
We calculate our current and deferred tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual
results reflected in income tax returns filed in subsequent years. Adjustments based on filed returns are recorded when
identified. The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. Our
estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts, and
circumstances existing at that time. We use a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and
measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We record a liability for the difference between the
benefit recognized and measured and tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax return. To the extent that our
assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.
We report tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. We do not believe there is a reasonable
likelihood that there will be a material change in the tax related balances or valuation allowance balances. However, due to the
complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may be materially different from the current estimate. Refer
to Note 14. Income Taxes to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.
Fair Value Measurement of Derivative Instruments
In determining the fair value of our derivatives, we utilize valuation techniques as prescribed by FASB ASC 820-10, Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures, and also prioritize the use of observable inputs. The availability of observable inputs
varies amongst derivatives and depends on the type of derivative and how actively traded the derivative is. For many of our
derivatives, the valuation does not require significant management judgment as the valuation inputs are readily observable in
the market. For other derivatives, however, valuation inputs are not as readily observable in the market, and significant
management judgment may be required.
All derivative instruments are required to be reported on the balance sheet at fair value unless the transactions qualify and
are designated as normal purchases or sales. Changes in fair value are reported currently through earnings unless they meet
hedge accounting criteria. Our derivative exposures are with counterparties with long-term investment grade credit ratings. We
estimate the fair value of our derivative contracts using an income approach based on valuation techniques to convert future
amounts to a single, discounted amount. Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments
are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. We also consider the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair
value, and include an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. The non-
performance risk adjustment reflects the full credit default spread (“CDS”) applied to the net commodity and foreign currency
exposures by counterparty. When we are in a net derivative asset position, the counterparty CDS rates are applied to the net
derivative asset position. When we are in a net derivative liability position, estimates of peer companies’ CDS rates are applied
to the net derivative liability position.
In certain instances where market data is not available, we use management judgment to develop assumptions that are
used to determine fair value. This could include situations of market illiquidity for a particular currency or commodity or where
observable market data may be limited. In those situations, we generally survey investment banks and/or brokers and utilize the
surveyed prices and rates in estimating fair value.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we were in a net derivative liability position of $37 million and $129 million,
respectively, and there were no adjustments recorded for nonperformance risk based on the application of peer companies’ CDS
rates and because Delphi’s exposures were to counterparties with investment grade credit ratings. Refer to Note 17. Derivatives
and Hedging Activities to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for more information.
Share-Based Compensation
The Delphi Automotive PLC Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective April 23, 2015 (“PLC LTIP”)
allows for the grant of share-based awards for long-term compensation to the employees, directors, consultants and advisors of
the Company (further discussed in Note 21. Share-Based Compensation to the audited consolidated financial statements
included herein). Grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Delphi's executives have been made under the PLC LTIP in each
year from 2012 to 2016, and are expected to continue to be made annually. The RSU awards include a time-based vesting
portion and a performance-based vesting portion. The performance-based vesting portion includes performance and market
conditions in addition to service conditions. We determine the grant date fair value of the RSUs based on the closing price of
the Company's ordinary shares on the date of the grant of the award and a contemporaneous valuation performed by an
independent valuation specialist with respect to certain market conditions that impact the performance-based vesting portion of
the RSUs. We recognize compensation expense based upon the grant date fair value of the awards applied to the Company's
best estimate of ultimate performance against the respective targets on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of
the awards, adjusted for an estimate for forfeitures. The performance conditions require management to make assumptions
regarding the likelihood of achieving certain performance goals. Changes in these performance assumptions, as well as
69
differences in actual results from management's estimates, could result in estimated or actual fair values different from
previously estimated fair values, which could materially impact the Company's future results of operations and financial
condition.
Refer to Note 21. Share-Based Compensation to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for
additional information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for a
complete description of recent accounting standards which we have not yet been required to implement which may be
applicable to our operations. Additionally, the significant accounting standards that have been adopted during the year ended
December 31, 2016 are described.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices. In order to
manage these risks, we operate a centralized risk management program that consists of entering into a variety of derivative
contracts with the intent of mitigating our risk to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not
enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative instruments is included in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein and further disclosure is provided in Note 17. Derivatives and
Hedging Activities to the audited consolidated financial statements included herein. We maintain risk management control
systems to monitor exchange and commodity risks and related hedge positions. Positions are monitored using a variety of
analytical techniques including market value and sensitivity analysis. The following analyses are based on sensitivity tests,
which assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in currency exchange rates and commodity prices. For options and instruments with
non-linear returns, appropriate models are utilized to determine the impact of shifts in rates and prices. Currently, we do not
have any options or instruments with non-linear returns.
We have currency exposures related to buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the local currencies in which
we operate. Historically, we have reduced our exposure through financial instruments (hedges) that provide offsets or limits to
our exposures, which are opposite to the underlying transactions. We also face an inherent business risk of exposure to
commodity prices risks, and have historically offset our exposure, particularly to changes in the price of various non-ferrous
metals used in our manufacturing operations, through fixed price purchase agreements, commodity swaps and option contracts.
We continue to manage our exposures to changes in currency rates and commodity prices using these derivative instruments.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Currency exposures may impact future earnings and/or operating cash flows. We have currency exposures related to
buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the local functional currencies in which we operate ("transactional
exposure"). We also have currency exposures related to the translation of the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries
that use the local currency as their functional currency into U.S. dollars, the Company's reporting currency ("translational
exposure"). The impact of translational exposure is recorded within currency translation adjustment in the Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Income. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the foreign currency translation adjustment
loss of $147 million was primarily due to the impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar, which increased approximately 4% in
relation to the Euro, 6% in relation to the Chinese Yuan Renminbi and 17% in relation to the British Pound from December 31,
2015.
As described in Note. 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities to the audited consolidated financial statements included
herein, in order to manage certain translational exposure, we have designated the 2015 Euro-denominated Senior Notes and the
2016 Euro-denominated Senior Notes as net investment hedges of the foreign currency exposure of our investments in certain
Euro-denominated subsidiaries. We have also entered into forward contracts designated as net investment hedges of the foreign
currency exposure of our investments in certain Chinese Yuan Renminbi-denominated subsidiaries. The effective portion of the
gains or losses on instruments designated as net investment hedges are recognized within the cumulative translation adjustment
component in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income to offset changes in the value of the net investment in
these foreign currency-denominated operations.
In some instances, we choose to reduce our transactional exposures through financial instruments (hedges) that provide
offsets or limits to our exposures. Currently our most significant hedged currency exposures relate to the Mexican Peso,
Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Polish Zloty, Turkish Lira and Hungarian Forint. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015
the net fair value liability of all financial instruments, including hedges and underlying transactions, with exposure to currency
risk was approximately $910 million and $320 million, respectively. The potential loss or gain in fair value for such financial
70
instruments from a hypothetical 10% adverse or favorable change in quoted currency exchange rates would be approximately
$87 million and $38 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The impact of a 10% change in rates on fair value
differs from a 10% change in the net fair value asset due to the existence of hedges. The model assumes a parallel shift in
currency exchange rates; however, currency exchange rates rarely move in the same direction. The assumption that currency
exchange rates change in a parallel fashion may overstate the impact of changing currency exchange rates on assets and
liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity swaps/average rate forward contracts are executed to offset a portion of our exposure to the potential change
in prices mainly for various non-ferrous metals used in the manufacturing of automotive components, primarily copper. The net
fair value of our contracts was an asset (liability) of approximately $11 million and $(51) million at December 31, 2016 and
2015, respectively. If the price of the commodities that are being hedged by our commodity swaps/average rate forward
contracts changed adversely or favorably by 10%, the fair value of our commodity swaps/average rate forward contracts would
decrease or increase by $14 million and $15 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. A 10% change in the net fair
value liability differs from a 10% change in rates on fair value due to the relative differences between the underlying
commodity prices and the prices in place in our commodity swaps/average rate forward contracts. These amounts exclude the
offsetting impact of the price risk inherent in the physical purchase of the underlying commodities.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt obligations. We do not
use interest rate swap or other derivative contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of December 31,
2016, we had approximately $400 million of floating rate debt, principally related to the Credit Agreement. The Credit
Agreement carries an interest rate, at our option, on Tranche A term loan borrowings of either (a) the ABR plus 0.25% per
annum, or (b) LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum, and on Revolving Credit Facility borrowings of either (a) the ABR plus
0.10% per annum, or (b) LIBOR plus 1.10% per annum.
The interest rate period with respect to the LIBOR interest rate option can be set at one-, two-, three-, or six-months as
selected by us in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (or other period as may be agreed by the applicable
lenders), but payable no less than quarterly. We may elect to change the selected interest rate over the term of the Credit
Facilities in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The applicable interest rates listed above for the
Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Loan may increase or decrease from time to time in increments of 0.10% to
0.25%, up to a maximum of 0.50% based on changes to our corporate credit ratings. Accordingly, the interest rate will fluctuate
during the term of the Credit Agreement based on changes in the Alternate Base Rate, LIBOR or future changes in our
corporate credit ratings.
The table below indicates interest rate sensitivity on interest expense to floating rate debt based on amounts outstanding
as of December 31, 2016.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delphi Automotive PLC:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delphi Automotive PLC as of December 31, 2016 and 2015,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule included in
Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Delphi Automotive PLC at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Delphi Automotive PLC's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(2013 framework) and our report dated February 6, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delphi Automotive PLC:
We have audited Delphi Automotive PLC's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Delphi Automotive PLC's management is responsible for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Delphi Automotive PLC maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2016, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
the consolidated balance sheets of Delphi Automotive PLC as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2016 and our report dated February 6, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1. GENERAL
DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE PLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
General and basis of presentation—“Delphi,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Delphi Automotive PLC, a
public limited company which was formed under the laws of Jersey on May 19, 2011, together with its subsidiaries, including
Delphi Automotive LLP, a limited liability partnership incorporated under the laws of England and Wales which was formed on
August 19, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring certain assets of the former Delphi Corporation, and became a subsidiary of
Delphi Automotive PLC in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on November 22, 2011.
The former Delphi Corporation (now known as DPH Holdings Corp. (“DPHH”)) and, as the context may require, its
subsidiaries and affiliates, are also referred to herein as “Old Delphi.” The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Nature of operations—Delphi is a leading global vehicle components manufacturer and provides electrical and
electronic, powertrain and safety technology solutions to the global automotive and commercial vehicle markets. Delphi is one
of the largest vehicle component manufacturers, and its customers include all 25 of the largest automotive original equipment
manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the world. Delphi operates 126 major manufacturing facilities and 15 major technical centers
utilizing a regional service model that enables the Company to efficiently and effectively serve its global customers from low
cost countries. Delphi has a presence in 46 countries and has over 20,000 scientists, engineers and technicians focused on
developing market relevant product solutions for its customers. In line with the long term growth in emerging markets, Delphi
has been increasing its focus on these markets, particularly in China, where the Company has a major manufacturing base and
strong customer relationships.
Corporate history—In October 2005, Old Delphi and certain of its United States (“U.S.”) subsidiaries filed voluntary
petitions for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Old Delphi's non-U.S.
subsidiaries, which were not included in the Chapter 11 Filings, continued their business operations without supervision from
the Bankruptcy Court and were not subject to the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code. On August 19, 2009, Delphi
Automotive LLP, a limited liability partnership organized under the laws of England and Wales, was formed for the purpose of
acquiring certain assets and subsidiaries of Old Delphi (“the Acquisition”), and on October 6, 2009 (the “Acquisition Date”)
Delphi Automotive LLP acquired the major portion of the business of Old Delphi and issued membership interests to a group of
investors consisting of lenders to Old Delphi, General Motors Company (“GM”) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(the “PBGC”).
On March 31, 2011, all of the outstanding Class A and Class C membership interests held by GM and the PBGC were
redeemed, respectively, for approximately $4.4 billion. Refer to Note 15. Shareholders' Equity and Net Income Per Share for
additional disclosures.
On May 19, 2011, Delphi Automotive PLC was formed as a Jersey public limited company, and had nominal assets, no
liabilities and had conducted no operations prior to its initial public offering. On November 22, 2011, in conjunction with the
completion of its initial public offering by the selling shareholders, all of the outstanding equity of Delphi Automotive LLP was
exchanged for ordinary shares of Delphi Automotive PLC. As a result, Delphi Automotive LLP became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Delphi Automotive PLC. The transaction whereby Delphi Automotive LLP became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Delphi Automotive PLC had no accounting effects.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Delphi and U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries
in which Delphi holds a controlling financial or management interest and variable interest entities of which Delphi has
determined that it is the primary beneficiary. Delphi’s share of the earnings or losses of non-controlled affiliates, over which
Delphi exercises significant influence (generally a 20% to 50% ownership interest), is included in the consolidated operating
results using the equity method of accounting. When Delphi does not have the ability to exercise significant influence
(generally when ownership interest is less than 20%), investments in non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for using
the cost method. All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which are necessary for a fair presentation, have
been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between consolidated Delphi businesses have been
eliminated in the accompanying financial statements. The Company monitors its investments in affiliates for indicators of
other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that such a decline has occurred, an
impairment loss is recorded, which is measured as the difference between carrying value and estimated fair value. Estimated
fair value is generally determined using an income approach based on discounted cash flows or negotiated transaction values.
79
During the year ended December 31, 2016, Delphi received dividends of $17 million from one of its equity method
investments. During the year ended December 31, 2015, Delphi received dividends of $17 million from one of its equity
method investments. During the year ended December 31, 2014, Delphi received a dividend of $10 million from its equity
method investment in Korea Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation ("KDAC"), a Korean unconsolidated joint venture which
was sold during the year ended December 31, 2015 and has been reclassified to discontinued operations, as further described in
Note 25. Discontinued Operations. The dividends were recognized as reductions to the investments and represented a return on
the investments that were included in cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations and discontinued
operations, respectively.
Investments in affiliates accounted for under the cost method totaled $26 million and $23 million as of December 31,
2016 and 2015, respectively, and are classified within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
Use of estimates—Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of
estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Generally, matters subject to estimation and judgment include
amounts related to accounts receivable realization, inventory obsolescence, asset impairments, useful lives of intangible and
fixed assets, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, income taxes, pension benefit plan assumptions, accruals related to
litigation, warranty costs, environmental remediation costs, contingent consideration arrangements, worker’s compensation
accruals and healthcare accruals. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future
periods may be based upon amounts that differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition—Sales are recognized when there is evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of goods has
occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and the collectability of revenue is reasonably assured. Sales are generally
recorded upon shipment of product to customers and transfer of title under standard commercial terms. In addition, if Delphi
enters into retroactive price adjustments with its customers, these reductions to revenue are recorded when they are determined
to be probable and estimable. From time to time, Delphi enters into pricing agreements with its customers that provide for price
reductions, some of which are conditional upon achieving certain joint cost saving targets. In these instances, revenue is
recognized based on the agreed-upon price at the time of shipment.
Sales incentives and allowances are recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the related sale. In addition, from
time to time, Delphi makes payments to customers in conjunction with ongoing and future business. These payments to
customers are generally recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the commitment to make these payments.
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales, while costs of shipping and handling are
included in cost of sales.
Delphi collects and remits taxes assessed by different governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent
with a revenue-producing transaction between the Company and the Company’s customers. These taxes may include, but are
not limited to, sales, use, value-added, and some excise taxes. Delphi reports the collection of these taxes on a net basis
(excluded from revenues).
Net income per share—Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Delphi by the
weighted–average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the weighted
average dilutive impact of all potentially dilutive securities from the date of issuance and is computed using the treasury stock
method by dividing net income attributable to Delphi by the diluted weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding.
Unless otherwise noted, share and per share amounts included in these notes are on a diluted basis. Refer to Note 15.
Shareholders’ Equity and Net Income Per Share for additional information including the calculation of basic and diluted net
income per share.
Research and development—Costs are incurred in connection with research and development programs that are
expected to contribute to future earnings. Such costs are charged against income as incurred. Total research and development
expenses, including engineering, net of customer reimbursements, were approximately $1.2 billion, $1.2 billion and $1.2
billion for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted cash—Restricted cash includes balances on deposit at financial institutions that have issued letters of credit in
favor of Delphi.
Accounts receivable—Delphi enters into agreements to sell certain of its accounts receivable, primarily in North
America and Europe. Sales of receivables are accounted for in accordance with FASB Topic ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing
("ASC 860"). Agreements which result in true sales of the transferred receivables, as defined in ASC 860, which occur when
receivables are transferred without recourse to the Company, are excluded from amounts reported in the consolidated balance
sheets. Cash proceeds received from such sales are included in operating cash flows. Agreements that allow Delphi to maintain
80
effective control over the transferred receivables and which do not qualify as a sale, as defined in ASC 860, are accounted for
as secured borrowings and recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within accounts receivable, net and short-term debt. The
expenses associated with receivables factoring are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within interest
expense.
The Company exchanges certain amounts of accounts receivable, primarily in the Asia Pacific region, for bank notes with
original maturities greater than three months. The collection of such bank notes are included in operating cash flows based on
the substance of the underlying transactions, which are operating in nature. Bank notes held by the Company with original
maturities of three months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents within the consolidated balance sheet, and those
with original maturities of greater than three months are classified as notes receivable within other current assets. The Company
may hold such bank notes until maturity, exchange them with suppliers to settle liabilities, or sell them to third party financial
institutions in exchange for cash.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon analysis of trade receivables for known collectability
issues, the aging of the trade receivables at the end of each period and, generally, all accounts receivable balances greater than
90 days past due are fully reserved. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $42 million
and $26 million, respectively, and the provision for doubtful accounts was $24 million, $11 million, and $10 million for the
years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Inventories—As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in,
first-out basis, or market, including direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs. Refer to Note 3.
Inventories for additional information. Obsolete inventory is identified based on analysis of inventory for known obsolescence
issues, and, generally, the market value of inventory on hand in excess of one year’s supply is fully-reserved.
From time to time, payments may be received from suppliers. These payments from suppliers are recognized as a
reduction of the cost of the material acquired during the period to which the payments relate. In some instances, supplier
rebates are received in conjunction with or concurrent with the negotiation of future purchase agreements and these amounts
are amortized over the prospective agreement period.
Property—Major improvements that materially extend the useful life of property are capitalized. Expenditures for
repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is determined based on a straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of groups of property. Leasehold improvements under capital leases are depreciated over the period
of the lease or the life of the property, whichever is shorter. Refer to Note 6. Property, Net for additional information.
Pre-production costs related to long-term supply agreements—The Company incurs pre-production engineering,
development and tooling costs related to products produced for its customers under long-term supply agreements. Engineering,
testing and other costs incurred in the design and development of production parts are expensed as incurred, unless the costs are
reimbursable, as specified in a customer contract. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, $89 million and $98 million of such
contractually reimbursable costs were capitalized, respectively. These amounts are recorded within other current and other
long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets, as further detailed in Note 4. Assets.
Special tools represent Delphi-owned tools, dies, jigs and other items used in the manufacture of customer components
that will be sold under long-term supply arrangements, the costs of which are capitalized within property, plant and equipment
if the Company has title to the assets. Special tools also include capitalized unreimbursed pre-production tooling costs related
to customer-owned tools for which the customer has provided Delphi a non-cancellable right to use the tool. Delphi-owned
special tools balances are depreciated over the expected life of the special tool or the life of the related vehicle program,
whichever is shorter. The unreimbursed costs incurred related to customer-owned special tools that are not subject to
reimbursement are capitalized and depreciated over the expected life of the special tool or the life of the related vehicle
program, whichever is shorter. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the special tools balance, net of accumulated depreciation, was
$483 million and $482 million, respectively, included within property, net in the consolidated balance sheets. As of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Delphi-owned special tools balances were $397 million and $404 million, respectively, and
the customer-owned special tools balances were $86 million and $78 million, respectively.
Valuation of long-lived assets—The carrying value of long-lived assets held for use, including definite-lived intangible
assets, is periodically evaluated when events or circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset
held for use is considered impaired when the anticipated separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows from the asset are less
than the carrying value of the asset. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds
the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are recognized if the
carrying value of the asset is in excess of the asset's estimated fair value, reduced for the cost to dispose of the asset. Fair value
of long-lived assets is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
involved (an income approach), and in certain situations Delphi’s review of appraisals (a market approach). Refer to Note 6.
Property, Net for additional information.
81
Assets and liabilities held for sale—The Company considers assets to be held for sale when management approves and
commits to a formal plan to actively market the assets for sale at a price reasonable in relation to their estimated fair value, the
assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required
to complete the sale have been initiated, the sale of the assets is probable and expected to be completed within one year (or, if it
is expected that others will impose conditions on the sale of the assets that will extend the period required to complete the sale,
that a firm purchase commitment is probable within one year) and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the
plan. Upon designation as held for sale, the Company records the assets at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated
fair value, reduced for the cost to dispose of the assets, and ceases to record depreciation expense on the assets.
Assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation are reclassified as held for sale for all comparative periods presented in
the consolidated balance sheet. For assets that meet the held for sale criteria but do not meet the definition of a discontinued
operation, the Company reclassifies the assets and liabilities in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met, but does
not reclassify prior period amounts.
Refer to Note 25. Discontinued Operations for further information regarding the Company's assets and liabilities held for
sale.
Intangible assets—The Company amortizes definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. The
Company has definite-lived intangible assets related to patents and developed technology, customer relationships and trade
names. Indefinite-lived in-process research and development intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment
annually, or more frequently when indicators of potential impairment exist, until the completion or abandonment of the
associated research and development efforts. The Company also has intangible assets related to acquired trade names that are
classified as indefinite-lived when there are no foreseeable limits on the periods of time over which they are expected to
contribute cash flows. These indefinite-lived trade name assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when
indicators of potential impairment exist. Costs to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets are recognized as
expense as incurred. No intangible asset impairments were recorded in 2016, 2015 or 2014. Refer to Note 7. Intangible Assets
and Goodwill for additional information.
Goodwill—Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business
combinations. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently when indications
of potential impairment exist. The Company monitors the existence of potential impairment indicators throughout the fiscal
year. The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are the components of
operating segments which constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed
by segment management.
The impairment test involves first qualitatively assessing goodwill for impairment. If the qualitative assessment is not met
we then perform a quantitative assessment by first comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying
value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the
reporting unit. If the estimated fair value exceeds carrying value, then we conclude that no goodwill impairment has occurred.
If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is required to measure possible
goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of
the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the
reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit's
goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not
to exceed the carrying value. Refer to Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures, for further information on the goodwill
attributable to the Company's acquisitions.
Goodwill impairment—In the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2015, the Company completed a qualitative goodwill
impairment assessment, and after evaluating the results, events and circumstances of the Company, the Company concluded
that sufficient evidence existed to assert qualitatively that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of each
reporting unit remained in excess of its carrying values. Therefore, a two-step impairment assessment was not necessary. No
goodwill impairments were recorded in 2016, 2015 or 2014. Refer to Note 7. Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional
information.
Discontinued operations—The Company reports financial results for discontinued operations separately from
continuing operations to distinguish the financial impact of disposal transactions from ongoing operations. Discontinued
operations reporting occurs only when the disposal of a component or a group of components of the Company represents a
strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. During the year ended
December 31, 2015, Delphi completed the divestitures of the Company's wholly owned Thermal Systems business and the
Company's interest in its KDAC joint venture. During the year ended December 31, 2016, Delphi completed the divestiture of
its interest in its Shanghai Delphi Automotive Air Conditioning ("SDAAC") joint venture. Delphi's interests in the KDAC and
SDAAC joint ventures were previously reported within the Thermal Systems segment. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities,
82
operating results and operating and investing cash flows for the previously reported Thermal Systems segment are presented as
discontinued operations separate from the Company’s continuing operations for all periods presented. Prior period information
has been reclassified to present this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and has therefore been
excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented in these consolidated financial
statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted. These items had no impact on the
amounts of previously reported net income attributable to Delphi or total shareholders' equity. Refer to Note 25. Discontinued
Operations for further information regarding the Company's discontinued operations.
Warranty and product recalls—Expected warranty costs for products sold are recognized at the time of sale of the
product based on an estimate of the amount that eventually will be required to settle such obligations. These accruals are based
on factors such as past experience, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations. Costs of
product recalls, which may include the cost of the product being replaced as well as the customer’s cost of the recall, including
labor to remove and replace the recalled part, are accrued as part of our warranty accrual at the time an obligation becomes
probable and can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are adjusted from time to time based on facts and circumstances that
impact the status of existing claims. Refer to Note 9. Warranty Obligations for additional information.
Income taxes—Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the amount of assets and
liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates
expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company determines it is more
likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, the valuation allowance adjustment to the deferred
tax assets will be charged to earnings in the period in which we make such a determination. In determining the provision for
income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments which affect its evaluation
of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities. Refer to Note. 14. Income
Taxes for additional information.
Foreign currency translation—Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that use a currency other than U.S. dollars
as their functional currency are translated to U.S. dollars at end-of-period currency exchange rates. The consolidated statements
of operations of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at average-period currency exchange rates. The effect of
translation for non-U.S. subsidiaries is generally reported in other comprehensive income ("OCI"). The effect of
remeasurement of assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency is primarily
included in cost of sales. Also included in cost of sales are gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency of a particular entity. Net foreign currency transaction gains of less than $1 million and $8
million were included in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016, and December 31,
2015, respectively, and a net foreign currency transaction loss of $5 million was included in the consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. The accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment related to an
investment in a foreign subsidiary is reclassified to net income upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete
liquidation of the respective entity.
Restructuring—Delphi continually evaluates alternatives to align the business with the changing needs of its customers
and to lower operating costs. This includes the realignment of its existing manufacturing capacity, facility closures, or similar
actions, either in the normal course of business or pursuant to significant restructuring programs. These actions may result in
employees receiving voluntary or involuntary employee termination benefits, which are mainly pursuant to union or other
contractual agreements. Voluntary termination benefits are accrued when an employee accepts the related offer. Involuntary
termination benefits are accrued upon the commitment to a termination plan and when the benefit arrangement is
communicated to affected employees, or when liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable, depending on the
existence of a substantive plan for severance or termination. Contract termination costs are recorded when contracts are
terminated or when Delphi ceases to use the leased facility and no longer derives economic benefit from the contract. All other
exit costs are expensed as incurred. Refer to Note 10. Restructuring for additional information.
Environmental liabilities—Environmental remediation liabilities are recognized when a loss is probable and can be
reasonably estimated. Such liabilities generally are not subject to insurance coverage. The cost of each environmental
remediation is estimated by engineering, financial, and legal specialists based on current law and considers the estimated cost
of investigation and remediation required and the likelihood that, where applicable, other responsible parties will be able to
fulfill their commitments. The process of estimating environmental remediation liabilities is complex and dependent primarily
on the nature and extent of historical information and physical data relating to a contaminated site, the complexity of the site,
the uncertainty as to what remediation and technology will be required, and the outcome of discussions with regulatory
agencies and, if applicable, other responsible parties at multi-party sites. In future periods, new laws or regulations, advances in
remediation technologies and additional information about the ultimate remediation methodology to be used could significantly
change estimates by Delphi. Refer to Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Asset retirement obligations—Asset retirement obligations are recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 410, Asset
Retirement and Environmental Obligations. Conditional retirement obligations have been identified primarily related to
asbestos abatement at certain sites. To a lesser extent, conditional retirement obligations also exist at certain sites related to the
removal of storage tanks and polychlorinated biphenyl disposal costs. Asset retirement obligations were $2 million and $2
million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Customer concentrations—As reflected in the table below, net sales to GM and VW, Delphi's two largest customers,
totaled approximately 22%, 22% and 25% of our total net sales for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014,
respectively.

Derivative financial instruments—All derivative instruments are required to be reported on the balance sheet at fair
value unless the transactions qualify and are designated as normal purchases or sales. Changes in fair value are reported
currently through earnings unless they meet hedge accounting criteria.
Exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices are managed by entering
into a variety of forward contracts and swaps with various counterparties. Such financial exposures are managed in accordance
with the policies and procedures of Delphi. Delphi does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading
purposes. As part of the hedging program approval process, Delphi identifies the specific financial risk which the derivative
transaction will minimize, the appropriate hedging instrument to be used to reduce the risk and the correlation between the
financial risk and the hedging instrument. Purchase orders, sales contracts, letters of intent, capital planning forecasts and
historical data are used as the basis for determining the anticipated values of the transactions to be hedged. Delphi does not
enter into derivative transactions that do not have a high correlation with the underlying financial risk. Hedge positions, as well
as the correlation between the transaction risks and the hedging instruments, are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Foreign exchange forward contracts are accounted for as hedges of firm or forecasted foreign currency commitments or
foreign currency exposure of the net investment in certain foreign operations to the extent they are designated and assessed as
highly effective. All foreign exchange contracts are marked to market on a current basis. Commodity swaps are accounted for
as hedges of firm or anticipated commodity purchase contracts to the extent they are designated and assessed as effective. All
other commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges are either marked to market on a current basis or are
exempted from mark to market accounting as normal purchases. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company's exposure to
movements in interest rates was not hedged with derivative instruments. Refer to Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
and Note 18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information.
Extended disability benefits—Costs associated with extended disability benefits provided to inactive employees are
accrued throughout the duration of their active employment. Workforce demographic data and historical experience are utilized
to develop projections of time frames and related expense for postemployment benefits.
Workers’ compensation benefits—Workers’ compensation benefit accruals are actuarially determined and are subject to
the existing workers’ compensation laws that vary by location. Accruals for workers’ compensation benefits represent the
discounted future cash expenditures expected during the period between the incidents necessitating the employees to be idled
and the time when such employees return to work, are eligible for retirement or otherwise terminate their employment.
Share-based compensation—The Company's share-based compensation arrangements consist of the Delphi Automotive
PLC Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective April 23, 2015 (the “PLC LTIP”), under which grants of
restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been made in each period from 2012 to 2016. The RSU awards include a time-based
vesting portion and a performance-based vesting portion. The performance-based vesting portion includes performance and
market conditions in addition to service conditions. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is determined based on the closing
price of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of the grant of the award, including an estimate for forfeitures, or a
contemporaneous valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist with respect to awards with market conditions.
Compensation expense is recognized based upon the grant date fair value of the awards applied to the Company's best estimate
of ultimate performance against the respective targets on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the awards.
The performance conditions require management to make assumptions regarding the likelihood of achieving certain
performance goals. Changes in these performance assumptions, as well as differences in actual results from management's
84
estimates, could result in estimated or actual values different from previously estimated fair values. Refer to Note 21. Share-
Based Compensation for additional information.
Business combinations—The Company accounts for its business combinations in accordance with the accounting
guidance in FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to its identifiable
assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and
liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires
management's judgment, the utilization of independent appraisal firms and often involves the use of significant estimates and
assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future cash flows, market rate assumptions, actuarial assumptions, and
appropriate discount rates, among other items. Refer to Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.
Retrospective changes—As described in Note 23. Segment Reporting, in 2016 Delphi reorganized its management
reporting structure by moving its Power Electronics product line, which was historically included in the Electronics and Safety
segment, to the Powertrain Systems segment. Consistent with this change in the Company's management reporting structure
and basis of financial information used by the chief operating decision maker, the prior period results of the Power Electronics
product line have been reclassified from the Electronics and Safety segment to the Powertrain Systems segment for all periods
presented. This reclassification had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements—In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
("ASU") ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance
Costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs be presented as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of the related
debt in the balance sheet rather than as a deferred charge, consistent with the presentation of discounts on debt. ASU 2015-15,
Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs
associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, was issued in August 2015 to clarify that the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit
arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit
arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied retrospectively. As permitted, the Company
elected to early adopt this guidance effective December 31, 2015, and has classified $24 million and $28 million as of
December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, of deferred debt issuance costs associated with term debt within
long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred issuance costs associated with the Company’s Revolving Credit
Facility of $10 million and $12 million as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, remain classified within
other long-term assets. Refer to Note 11. Debt for further information.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for
Measurement-Period Adjustments. This guidance requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that
are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined,
including the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any. The guidance is
effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied prospectively to adjustments
to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have
not yet been made available for issuance. Delphi adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016, and has applied it to
adjustments to provisional amounts resulting from business combinations for which the accounting was incomplete as of
December 31, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on Delphi's financial statements. Refer to
Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred
Taxes. This guidance requires entities to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent in a classified statement of
financial position. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and may be
applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. As permitted, the
Company elected to early adopt this guidance effective December 31, 2015, and applied the guidance prospectively. The
adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on Delphi's financial statements, other than the classification of
deferred tax liabilities and assets as long-term in accordance with the new presentation requirements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted—In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes most of the existing guidance on revenue recognition in Accounting
Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and establishes a broad principle that would require an entity
to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, an
entity identifies the contract with a customer, identifies the separate performance obligations in the contract, determines the
transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue when each
separate performance obligation is satisfied. The FASB has subsequently issued additional ASUs to clarify certain elements of
the new revenue recognition guidance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to
85
be applied retrospectively using one of two transition methods at the entity's election. The full retrospective method requires
companies to recast each prior reporting period presented as if the new guidance had always existed. Under the modified
retrospective method, companies would recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to
opening retained earnings at the date of initial application. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2016.
The Company has continued to monitor FASB activity related to the new standard, and has worked with various non-
authoritative industry groups to assess certain interpretative issues and the associated implementation of the new standard. The
Company has drafted its accounting policy for the new standard based on a detailed review of its business and contracts. Delphi
currently anticipates the most significant impact of the implementation of the new standard relates to the Company's accounting
for guaranteed reimbursements of certain pre-production engineering, development and tooling costs related to products
manufactured for our customers under long-term supply agreements. Under the current applicable guidance, such
reimbursements from customers are recorded as cost offsets; whereas under the new standard we currently anticipate
recognizing such guaranteed recoveries as revenues, as the reimbursements specified in the customer contracts represent
consideration from contracts with customers under the new standard. While the Company continues to assess all potential
impacts of the new standard, we do not currently expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our
revenues, results of operations or financial position. The Company plans to adopt the new revenue standard effective January 1,
2018. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and continues to evaluate the effect of the standard on our ongoing
financial reporting and implementation approach.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This
guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or
market. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied
prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on
Delphi's financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance makes targeted improvements to existing U.S.
GAAP for financial instruments, including requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of
accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in net income; requiring entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments
for disclosure purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and
form of financial asset and requiring entities to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total
change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own
credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. The
new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the own
credit provision is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under this guidance, lessees will be required to
recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases.
The lease liability represents the lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, and will be measured as the
present value of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use a specified asset for the lease
term, and will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the
lessee’s initial direct costs. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term,
generally on a straight-line basis. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU
2016-02 is required to be applied using the modified retrospective approach for all leases existing as of the effective date and
provides for certain practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the
adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and anticipates the new guidance will
significantly impact its consolidated financial statements as the Company has a significant number of leases. As further
described in Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies, as of December 31, 2016, Delphi had minimum lease commitments
under non-cancellable operating leases totaling $358 million.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract
Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships and ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent
Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. ASU 2016-05 clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument
that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship
provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. ASU 2016-06 also clarifies the steps required to determine
bifurcation of an embedded derivative. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early
adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on Delphi's financial
statements.
86
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance contains multiple updates related to the accounting and financial
statement presentation of share-based payment transactions. Under the new guidance, excess tax benefits will be recognized as
income tax expense in the period in which the awards vest, as opposed to being recognized in additional paid-in capital when
the deduction reduces taxes payable. Excess tax benefits will be classified as an operating activity within the statement of cash
flows, as opposed to a financing activity. The new guidance also clarifies that cash paid by an employer when withholding
shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity, and also permits an accounting policy election
for accruing compensation cost to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest, similar to current U.S. GAAP,
or account for forfeitures when they occur. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.
The method of transition is dependent on the particular provision within the new guidance. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held
at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance
also requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The new
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash
Receipts and Cash Payments. This guidance clarifies the presentation requirements of eight specific issues within the statement
of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on
Delphi's financial statements, as Delphi's treatment of the relevant affected items within its consolidated statement of cash
flows is consistent with the requirements of this guidance.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets
Other than Inventory. This guidance requires that the tax effects of all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory be
recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption as of the beginning of an annual reporting
period is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the
adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This guidance
requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted
cash. As a result, restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and
end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the new guidance is to
be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on Delphi's financial
statements, other than the classification of restricted cash within the beginning-of-period and end-of-period totals on the
consolidated statement of cash flows, as opposed to being excluded from these totals.

5. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
As part of Delphi’s continuing operations, it has investments in six non-consolidated affiliates accounted for under the
equity method of accounting. These affiliates are not publicly traded companies and are located primarily in Asia Pacific and
North America. Delphi’s ownership percentages vary generally from approximately 20% to 50%, with the most significant
investments in Delphi-TVS Diesel Systems Ltd (of which Delphi owns approximately 50%) and Promotora de Partes Electricas
Automotrices, S.A. de C.V. (of which Delphi owns approximately 40%). The aggregate investment in non-consolidated
affiliates was $101 million and $94 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Dividends of $17 million, $17
million and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, have been received from non-consolidated
affiliates. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
The following is a summary of the combined financial information of significant affiliates accounted for under the equity
method for continuing operations as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and

9. WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS
Expected warranty costs for products sold are recognized principally at the time of sale of the product based on an
estimate of the amount that will eventually be required to settle such obligations. These accruals are based on factors such as
past experience, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations. The estimated costs related to
product recalls based on a formal campaign soliciting return of that product are accrued at the time an obligation becomes
probable and can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are adjusted from time to time based on facts and circumstances that
impact the status of existing claims. Delphi has recognized its best estimate for its total aggregate warranty reserves, including
product recall costs, across all of its operating segments as of December 31, 2016. The Company estimates the reasonably
possible amount to ultimately resolve all matters in excess of the recorded reserves as of December 31, 2016 to be zero to $50
million.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded $25 million pursuant to a settlement agreement
reached with one of the Company's OEM customers regarding warranty claims related to certain components supplied by
Delphi’s Powertrain Systems segment.
10. RESTRUCTURING
Delphi’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to implement management’s strategy, streamline operations,
take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions. These activities generally relate
to the realignment of existing manufacturing capacity and closure of facilities and other exit or disposal activities, as it relates
to executing Delphi’s strategy, either in the normal course of business or pursuant to significant restructuring programs.
As part of Delphi's continued efforts to optimize its cost structure, it has undertaken several restructuring programs which
include workforce reductions as well as plant closures. These programs are primarily focused on the continued rotation of our
manufacturing footprint to low cost locations in Europe and on reducing global overhead costs. The Company recorded
employee-related and other restructuring charges related to these programs totaling approximately $328 million during the year
ended December 31, 2016. These charges included $103 million for programs implemented to reduce global overhead costs, as
well as $170 million for programs focused on the continued rotation of our manufacturing footprint to low cost locations in
Europe, $93 million of which related to the closure of a European manufacturing site within the Powertrain Systems segment.
Cash payments for this restructuring action are expected to be principally completed in 2017. Additionally, Delphi recognized
non-cash asset impairment charges of $25 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 related to this plant closure, which
were recorded within cost of sales.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, Delphi recorded employee-related and other restructuring charges totaling
approximately $177 million, primarily related to Delphi's on-going restructuring programs focused on aligning manufacturing
capacity with the levels of automotive production in Europe and South America, and the continued rotation of our
manufacturing footprint to low cost locations within these regions. These charges included the recognition of approximately
$68 million of employee-related and other costs related to the initiation of a workforce reduction at a European manufacturing
site within the Powertrain Systems segment. During the year ended December 31, 2014, Delphi recorded employee related and
other restructuring charges totaling approximately $140 million, which included the recognition of approximately $35 million
of employee-related and other costs related to the initiation of a workforce reduction at a European manufacturing site within
the Powertrain Systems segment.
Additionally, the Company recorded $0, $3 million and $4 million of restructuring costs within discontinued operations
related to the Thermal Systems business during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Restructuring charges for employee separation and termination benefits are paid either over the severance period or in a
lump sum in accordance with either statutory requirements or individual agreements. Delphi incurred cash expenditures related
to its restructuring programs of approximately $255 million and $133 million in the years ended December 31, 2016 and
December 31, 2015, respectively.

Credit Agreement
Delphi Automotive PLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Delphi Corporation entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), under which it maintains
senior secured credit facilities currently consisting of a term loan (the “Tranche A Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility of
$2.0 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement was entered into in March 2011 and has been
subsequently amended and restated on several occasions, most recently on August 17, 2016. The 2016 amendment extended the
maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Loan from 2018 to 2021, increased the capacity of the
Revolving Credit Facility from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and permitted Delphi Automotive PLC to act as a borrower on the
Revolving Credit Facility. A loss on debt extinguishment of $3 million was recorded within other income (expense), net in the
consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2016 in conjunction with the 2016 amendment.
The Tranche A Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility mature on August 17, 2021. Delphi is obligated to make
quarterly principal payments, beginning December 31, 2017, throughout the term of the Tranche A Term Loan according to the
amortization schedule in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature that permits Delphi to
increase, from time to time, the aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by up to an additional $1 billion (or
a greater amount based upon a formula set forth in the Credit Agreement) upon Delphi's request, the agreement of the lenders
participating in the increase, and the approval of the Administrative Agent and existing lenders.
As of December 31, 2016, there were no amounts drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $7 million
in letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement reduce availability
under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Delphi's option, at either (a) the Administrative Agent’s Alternate Base
Rate (“ABR” as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate” as
defined in the Credit Agreement) (“LIBOR”) plus in either case a percentage per annum as set forth in the table below (the
“Applicable Rate”). The Applicable Rates under the Credit Agreement on the specified dates are set forth below:

The Applicable Rate under the Credit Agreement may increase or decrease from time to time based on changes in the
Company's credit ratings. Accordingly, the interest rate will fluctuate during the term of the Credit Agreement based on changes
in the ABR, LIBOR or future changes in the Company's corporate credit ratings. The Credit Agreement also requires that
Delphi pay certain facility fees on the Revolving Credit Facility and certain letter of credit issuance and fronting fees.
The interest rate period with respect to LIBOR interest rate options can be set at one-, two-, three-, or six-months as
selected by Delphi in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (or other period as may be agreed by the applicable
lenders). Delphi may elect to change the selected interest rate option in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement. As of December 31, 2016, Delphi selected the one-month LIBOR interest rate option on the Tranche A Term Loan,
and the rate effective as of December 31, 2016, as detailed in the table below, was based on the Company's current credit rating
and the Applicable Rate for the Credit Agreement:

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are prepayable at Delphi's option without premium or penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s (and the Company’s
subsidiaries’) ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or liens or to dispose of substantially all of its assets. In addition,
the Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of Consolidated Total
Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) of less than 3.50 to 1.0. The Credit
Agreement also contains events of default customary for financings of this type. The Company was in compliance with the
Credit Agreement covenants as of December 31, 2016.
As of December 31, 2016, all obligations under the Credit Agreement were borrowed by Delphi Corporation and jointly
and severally guaranteed by its direct and indirect parent companies, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit
Agreement. Refer to Note 22. Supplemental Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements for
additional information.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On May 17, 2011, Delphi Corporation issued $500 million of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2019 (the "5.875%
Senior Notes") and $500 million of 6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the "6.125% Senior Notes") (collectively, the
“2011 Senior Notes”) in a transaction exempt from registration under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933
(the “Securities Act”). The net proceeds of approximately $1 billion as well as cash on hand were used to pay down amounts
outstanding under the Credit Agreement. In May 2012, Delphi Corporation completed a registered exchange offer for all of the
2011 Senior Notes. No proceeds were received by Delphi Corporation as a result of the exchange. In March 2014, Delphi
redeemed for cash the entire $500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 5.875% Senior Notes, financed by a
portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of the 2014 Senior Notes, as defined below. In March 2015, Delphi
redeemed for cash the entire $500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 6.125% Senior Notes, financed by a
portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2015 Euro-denominated Senior Notes, as defined below. As a result of the
redemption of the 2011 Senior Notes, Delphi recognized losses on debt extinguishment of approximately $52 million during
the year ended December 31, 2015 and $33 million during the year ended December 31, 2014.
On February 14, 2013, Delphi Corporation issued $800 million of 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2013
Senior Notes”) in a transaction registered under the Securities Act. The proceeds were primarily utilized to prepay our term
loan indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. Delphi paid approximately $12 million of issuance costs in connection with the
2013 Senior Notes. Interest was payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year to holders of record at the
close of business on February 1 or August 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date. In September 2016, Delphi
redeemed for cash the entire $800 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2013 Senior Notes, primarily financed
by the proceeds from the issuance of the 2016 Euro-denominated Senior Notes and the 2016 Senior Notes, each as defined
below. As a result of the redemption of the 2013 Senior Notes, Delphi recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of
approximately $70 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 within other income (expense), net in the consolidated
statement of operations.
On March 3, 2014, Delphi Corporation issued $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.15% senior unsecured
notes due 2024 (the "2014 Senior Notes") in a transaction registered under the Securities Act. The 2014 Senior Notes were
priced at 99.649% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 4.193%. The proceeds were primarily utilized to redeem the
5.875% Senior Notes and to repay a portion of the Tranche A Term Loan. Delphi paid approximately $6 million of issuance
costs in connection with the 2014 Senior Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year
to holders of record at the close of business on March 1 or September 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date.
On March 10, 2015, Delphi Automotive PLC issued €700 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.50% Euro-
denominated senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2015 Euro-denominated Senior Notes”) in a transaction registered under
the Securities Act. The 2015 Euro-denominated Senior Notes were priced at 99.54% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of
1.55%. The proceeds were primarily utilized to redeem the 6.125% Senior Notes, and to fund growth initiatives, such as
acquisitions, and share repurchases. Delphi incurred approximately $5 million of issuance costs in connection with the 2015
Euro-denominated Senior Notes. Interest is payable annually on March 10. The Company has designated the 2015 Euro-
denominated Senior Notes as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its investments in certain Euro-
denominated wholly owned subsidiaries. Refer to Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further information.
96
On November 19, 2015, Delphi Automotive PLC issued $1.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured
notes in a transaction registered under the Securities Act, comprised of $650 million of 3.15% senior unsecured notes due 2020
(the "3.15% Senior Notes") and $650 million of 4.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the "4.25% Senior Notes")
(collectively, the “2015 Senior Notes”). The 3.15% Senior Notes were priced at 99.784% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity
of 3.197%, and the 4.25% Senior Notes were priced at 99.942% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 4.256%. The proceeds
were primarily utilized to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of HellermannTyton, as further described
in Note. 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures, and for general corporate purposes, including the payment of fees and expenses
associated with the HellermannTyton acquisition and the related financing transaction. Delphi incurred approximately $8
million of issuance costs in connection with the 2015 Senior Notes. Interest on the 3.15% Senior Notes is payable semi-
annually on May 19 and November 19 of each year to holders of record at the close of business on May 4 or November 4
immediately preceding the interest payment date. Interest on the 4.25% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15
and July 15 of each year to holders of record at the close of business on January 1 or July 1 immediately preceding the interest
payment date.
On September 15, 2016, Delphi Automotive PLC issued €500 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.60% Euro-
denominated senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “2016 Euro-denominated Senior Notes”) in a transaction registered under
the Securities Act. The 2016 Euro-denominated Senior Notes were priced at 99.881% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of
1.611%. The proceeds, together with proceeds from the 2016 Senior Notes described below, were utilized to redeem the 2013
Senior Notes. Delphi incurred approximately $4 million of issuance costs in connection with the 2016 Euro-denominated
Senior Notes. Interest is payable annually on September 15. The Company has designated the 2016 Euro-denominated Senior
Notes as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its investments in certain Euro-denominated wholly-owned
subsidiaries. Refer to Note. 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further information.
On September 20, 2016, Delphi Automotive PLC issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.40% senior
unsecured notes due 2046 (the “2016 Senior Notes”) in a transaction registered under the Securities Act. The 2016 Senior Notes
were priced at 99.454% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 4.433%. The proceeds, together with proceeds from the 2016
Euro-denominated Senior Notes, were utilized to redeem the 2013 Senior Notes. Delphi incurred approximately $3 million of
issuance costs in connection with the 2016 Senior Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each
year to holders of record at the close of business on March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the interest payment
date.
Although the specific terms of each indenture governing each series of senior notes vary, the indentures contain certain
restrictive covenants, including with respect to Delphi's (and Delphi's subsidiaries) ability to incur liens, enter into sale and
leaseback transactions and merge with or into other entities. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with
the provisions of all series of the outstanding senior notes.
The 2013 Senior Notes and the 2014 Senior Notes were issued by Delphi Corporation. The 2014 Senior Notes are, and
prior to their redemption, the 2013 Senior Notes were, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Delphi
Automotive PLC and by certain of Delphi Automotive PLC's direct and indirect subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly
100% owned by Delphi Automotive PLC, subject to customary release provisions (other than in the case of Delphi Automotive
PLC). The 2015 Euro-denominated Senior Notes, 2015 Senior Notes, 2016 Euro-denominated Senior Notes and 2016 Senior
Notes issued by Delphi Automotive PLC are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of Delphi
Automotive PLC's direct and indirect subsidiaries (including Delphi Corporation), which are directly or indirectly 100% owned
by Delphi Automotive PLC, subject to customary release provisions. Refer to Note 22. Supplemental Guarantor and Non-
Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements for additional information.
Other Financing
Receivable factoring—Delphi maintains a €400 million European accounts receivable factoring facility, of which €350
million is available on a committed basis. This facility is accounted for as short-term debt and borrowings are subject to the
availability of eligible accounts receivable. Collateral is not required related to these trade accounts receivable. This program
matures on August 31, 2017, and will automatically renew on a non-committed, indefinite basis unless terminated by either
party. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.05% for borrowings denominated in pounds sterling and Euro Interbank
Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus 0.80% for borrowings denominated in Euros. No amounts were outstanding on the European
accounts receivable factoring facility as of December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.
The Company has entered into arrangements with various financial institutions to sell eligible trade receivables from
certain aftermarket customers in North America. These arrangements can be terminated at any time subject to prior written
notice. The receivables under these arrangements are sold without recourse to the Company and are therefore accounted for as
true sales. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, $123 million and $100 million of receivables were sold under
these arrangements, and expenses of $3 million and $2 million, respectively, were recognized within interest expense.
97
In addition, in 2016 and 2015 one of the Company’s European subsidiaries factored, without recourse, receivables related
to certain foreign research tax credits to a financial institution. These transactions were accounted for as true sales of the
receivables, and the Company therefore derecognized approximately $26 million from other long-term assets and $27 million
from other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, as a
result of these transactions.
Capital leases and other—As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately $42 million and
approximately $77 million, respectively, of other debt issued by certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and capital lease obligations were
outstanding.
Interest—Cash paid for interest related to debt outstanding totaled $145 million, $104 million and $119 million for the
years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
12. PENSION BENEFITS
Certain of Delphi’s non-U.S. subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans, which generally provide benefits based
on negotiated amounts for each year of service. Delphi’s primary non-U.S. plans are located in France, Germany, Mexico,
Portugal and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). The U.K. and certain Mexican plans are funded. In addition, Delphi has defined
benefit plans in South Korea, Turkey and Italy for which amounts are payable to employees immediately upon separation. The
obligations for these plans are recorded over the requisite service period.
Delphi sponsors a Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (“SERP”) for those employees who were U.S. executives
of DPHH prior to September 30, 2008 and were still U.S. executives of Delphi on October 7, 2009, the effective date of the
program. This program is unfunded. Executives receive benefits over 5 years after an involuntary or voluntary separation from
Delphi. The SERP is closed to new members.
Prior period amounts disclosed within this note include amounts attributable to the Company's discontinued operations,
which were not significant in any period disclosed.

(1) Settlement loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily relates to amounts recognized related to the divestiture of the Company's Reception
Systems business, as further described in Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures.
Other postretirement benefit obligations were approximately $5 million and $3 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015,
respectively.
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company changed the method used to estimate the service and interest cost components of
net periodic benefit cost for pension and other postretirement benefit plans that utilize a yield curve approach. Historically, the
Company estimated these service and interest cost components utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from
the yield curve used to measure the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. The Company elected to utilize a
full yield curve approach in the estimation of these components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in
100
the determination of the projected benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The Company made this change to
provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash
flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. This change does not affect the measurement of the total benefit obligations.
The Company has accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate and accordingly accounted for it on a
prospective basis. The reduction in service and interest costs associated with this change in estimate for the year ended
December 31, 2016 was less than $10 million.
Experience gains and losses, as well as the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions are recognized
in other comprehensive income. Cumulative gains and losses in excess of 10% of the PBO for a particular plan are amortized
over the average future service period of the employees in that plan. The estimated actuarial loss for the defined benefit pension
plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost in 2017 is $36
million.
The principal assumptions used to determine the pension expense and the actuarial value of the projected benefit
obligation for the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans were:

Delphi selects discount rates by analyzing the results of matching each plan’s projected benefit obligations with a
portfolio of high-quality fixed income investments rated AA-or higher by Standard and Poor’s.
Delphi does not have any U.S. pension assets; therefore no U.S. asset rate of return calculation was necessary. The
primary funded non-U.S. plans are in the U.K. and Mexico. For the determination of 2016 expense, Delphi assumed a long-
term expected asset rate of return of approximately 5.75% and 7.50% for the U.K. and Mexico, respectively. Delphi evaluated
input from local actuaries and asset managers, including consideration of recent fund performance and historical returns, in
developing the long-term rate of return assumptions. The assumptions for the U.K. and Mexico are primarily long-term,
prospective rates. To determine the expected return on plan assets, the market-related value of approximately 50% of our plan
assets is actual fair value. The expected return on the remainder of our plan assets is determined by applying the expected long-
term rate of return on assets to a calculated market-related value of these plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value
of the plan assets in a systematic manner over five years.
Delphi’s pension expense for 2017 is determined at the 2016 year end measurement date. For purposes of analysis, the
following table highlights the sensitivity of the Company’s pension obligations and expense to changes in key assumptions:
Change in Assumption
25 basis point (“bp”) decrease in discount rate.................................................................
25 bp increase in discount rate ..........................................................................................

The above sensitivities reflect the effect of changing one assumption at a time. It should be noted that economic factors
and conditions often affect multiple assumptions simultaneously and the effects of changes in key assumptions are not
necessarily linear. The above sensitivities also assume no changes to the design of the pension plans and no major restructuring
programs.

Delphi anticipates making pension contributions and benefit payments of approximately $76 million in 2017.
Delphi sponsors defined contribution plans for certain hourly and salaried employees. Expense related to the
contributions for these plans was $45 million, $51 million, and $55 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and
2014, respectively.
Plan Assets
Certain pension plans sponsored by Delphi invest in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes that
attempts to maximize returns while minimizing volatility. These asset classes include developed market equities, emerging
market equities, private equity, global high quality and high yield fixed income, real estate and absolute return strategies.
The fair values of Delphi’s pension plan assets weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2016 and 2015, by

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for pension assets measured at fair value.
Time deposits—The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated using the rates offered for deposits
of similar remaining maturities.
Equity mutual funds—The fair value of the equity mutual funds is determined by the indirect quoted market prices on
regulated financial exchanges of the underlying investments included in the fund.
Bond mutual funds—The fair value of the bond mutual funds is determined by the indirect quoted market prices on
regulated financial exchanges of the underlying investments included in the fund.
Real estate—The fair value of real estate properties is estimated using an annual appraisal provided by the administrator
of the property investment. Management believes this is an appropriate methodology to obtain the fair value of these assets.
Hedge funds—The fair value of the hedge funds is accounted for by a custodian. The custodian obtains valuations from
the underlying hedge fund managers based on market quotes for the most liquid assets and alternative methods for assets that
do not have sufficient trading activity to derive prices. Management and the custodian review the methods used by the
underlying managers to value the assets. Management believes this is an appropriate methodology to obtain the fair value of
these assets.
Insurance contracts—The insurance contracts are invested in a fund with guaranteed minimum returns. The fair values of
these contracts are based on the net asset value underlying the contracts.
Debt securities—The fair value of debt securities is determined by direct quoted market prices on regulated financial
exchanges.
Equity securities—The fair value of equity securities is determined by direct quoted market prices on regulated financial
exchanges.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Ordinary Business Litigation
Delphi is from time to time subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to its business, including those arising
out of alleged defects, alleged breaches of contracts, product warranties, intellectual property matters, and employment-related
matters. It is the opinion of Delphi that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of Delphi. With respect to warranty matters, although Delphi cannot
ensure that the future costs of warranty claims by customers will not be material, Delphi believes its established reserves are
adequate to cover potential warranty settlements.
Unsecured Creditors Litigation
Delphi has been subject to ongoing litigation related to general unsecured claims against the former Delphi Corporation,
now known as DPHH, resulting from that entity's 2005 bankruptcy filing. The Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Partnership Agreement of Delphi Automotive LLP (the “Fourth LLP Agreement”) was entered into on July 12, 2011 by the
members of Delphi Automotive LLP in order to position the Company for its initial public offering. Under the terms of the
Fourth LLP Agreement, if cumulative distributions to the members of Delphi Automotive LLP under certain provisions of the
Fourth LLP Agreement exceed $7.2 billion, Delphi, as disbursing agent on behalf of DPHH, is required to pay to the holders of
allowed general unsecured claims against DPHH, $32.50 for every $67.50 in excess of $7.2 billion distributed to the members,
up to a maximum amount of $300 million. In December 2014, a complaint was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") alleging that the 2011 redemption by Delphi Automotive LLP of
the membership interests of GM and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") totaling $4.4 billion, and the
subsequent repurchase of shares and payment of dividends by Delphi Automotive PLC, constituted distributions under the
terms of the Fourth LLP Agreement approximating $7.2 billion, triggering the maximum $300 million distribution to the
holders of general unsecured claims.
In May 2016, the Bankruptcy Court initially denied both parties' motions for summary judgment, requiring further
submissions to the Bankruptcy Court regarding the parties' intent with respect to the redemptions of the GM and PBGC
membership interests. On January 12, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, ruling
that the membership interest redemption payments qualified as distributions, which, along with share repurchases and dividend
payments made by Delphi, count toward the $7.2 billion threshold, and thus the $300 million maximum distribution for general
unsecured claims has been triggered. The Bankruptcy Court will rule on the application of pre-judgment interest at a future
date.
In connection with the ruling, the Company recorded a reserve of $300 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The reserve
was recorded to other expense in the consolidated statement of operations, and resulted in a corresponding reduction in
earnings per diluted share of approximately $1.10 for the year ended December 31, 2016. However, Delphi continues to
consider cumulative distributions through December 31, 2016 to be substantially below the $7.2 billion threshold, and intends
to vigorously contest the ruling through the appeals process. Delphi filed a notice of appeal on January 26, 2017.
104
Brazil Matters
Delphi conducts business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal labor, social security,
environmental, tax and customs laws, as well as a variety of state and local laws. While Delphi believes it complies with such
laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations, and the Company is often engaged in litigation with government
agencies regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances. As of December 31, 2016, the majority of claims
asserted against Delphi in Brazil relate to such litigation. The remaining claims in Brazil relate to commercial and labor
litigation with private parties. As of December 31, 2016, claims totaling approximately $185 million (using December 31, 2016
foreign currency rates) have been asserted against Delphi in Brazil. As of December 31, 2016, the Company maintains accruals
for these asserted claims of $30 million (using December 31, 2016 foreign currency rates). The amounts accrued represent
claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the Company’s analyses and assessment of the
asserted claims and prior experience with similar matters. While the Company believes its accruals are adequate, the final
amounts required to resolve these matters could differ materially from the Company’s recorded estimates and Delphi’s results
of operations could be materially affected. The Company estimates the reasonably possible loss in excess of the amounts
accrued related to these claims to be zero to $155 million.
Environmental Matters
Delphi is subject to the requirements of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. environmental and safety and health laws
and regulations. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation
and remediation was approximately $6 million (of which $1 million was recorded in accrued liabilities and $5 million was
recorded in other long-term liabilities) and $4 million (of which $1 million was recorded in accrued liabilities and $3 million
was recorded in other long-term liabilities), respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2015, there was $6 million of
undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation attributable to discontinued operations included within
liabilities held for sale. Delphi cannot ensure that environmental requirements will not change or become more stringent over
time or that its eventual environmental remediation costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current reserves. In the
event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded, Delphi’s results of operations could be materially
affected. At December 31, 2016 the difference between the recorded liabilities and the reasonably possible range of potential
loss was not material.
Operating Leases
Rental expense totaled $96 million, $95 million and $105 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and
2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, Delphi had minimum lease commitments under non-cancellable operating leases
totaling $358 million, which become due as follows:

to discontinued operations. The related income tax benefits are recorded as increases to additional paid-in capital.
Cash paid or withheld for income taxes was $312 million, $292 million and $266 million for the years ended December
31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

For purposes of comparability and consistency, the Company uses the notional U.S. federal income tax rate when
presenting the Company’s reconciliation of the income tax provision. The Company is a U.K. resident taxpayer and as such is
not generally subject to U.K. tax on remitted foreign earnings. As a result, the Company does not anticipate foreign earnings
would be subject to a 35% tax rate upon repatriation to the U.K., as is the case when U.S. based companies repatriate earnings
to the U.S. A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes compared with the amounts at the notional U.S. federal statutory
rate was:

The Company’s tax rate is affected by the fact that its parent entity is a U.K. resident taxpayer, the tax rates in the U.K.
and other jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the relative amount of income earned by jurisdiction and the relative
amount of losses or income for which no tax benefit or expense was recognized due to a valuation allowance. Included in the
non-U.S. income taxed at other rates are tax incentives obtained in various non-U.S. countries, primarily the High and New
Technology Enterprise ("HNTE") status in China, a Free Trade Zone exemption in Honduras and the Special Economic Zone
exemption in Turkey of $60 million in 2016, $92 million in 2015, and $67 million in 2014, as well as tax benefit for income
earned, and no tax benefit for losses incurred, in jurisdictions where a valuation allowance has been recorded. The Company
currently benefits from tax holidays in various non-U.S. jurisdictions with expiration dates from 2016 through 2026. The
income tax benefits attributable to these tax holidays are approximately $11 million ($0.04 per share) in 2016, $16 million
($0.06 per share) in 2015 and $28 million ($0.09 per share) in 2014.
The effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2016 was impacted by favorable geographic income mix in 2016 as
compared to 2015, primarily due to changes in the underlying operations of the business, as well as $17 million for releases of
valuation allowances as a result of the Company's determination that it was more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets
would be realized. These benefits were offset by $81 million of reserve adjustments recorded for uncertain tax positions, which
included reserves for ongoing audits in foreign jurisdictions, as well as for changes in estimates based on relevant new or
additional evidence obtained related to certain of the Company's tax positions, including tax authority administrative
pronouncements and court decisions. These reserve adjustments resulted in foreign tax credit benefits of approximately $18
million. Additionally, following a change in U.S. tax regulation during 2016, the Company recorded a tax credit benefit of
approximately $16 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.
As described above, certain of the Company's Chinese subsidiaries benefit from a reduced corporate income tax rate as a
result of their HNTE status. Delphi submitted applications for new 6-year HNTE grants for certain of these subsidiaries and
received the relevant regulatory approvals during 2016, which entitled these entities to use the reduced HNTE income tax rate
retroactive to the expiration date of the prior grants. As a result, there was no change in the tax status of these entities as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2015.
The effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2015 was impacted by increased tax expense of $15 million
resulting from changes in judgment related to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, as well as the enactment of the UK
Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (the “UK 2015 Finance Act”) on November 18, 2015, which provides for a reduction of the corporate
income tax rate from 20% to 19% effective April 1, 2017, with a further reduction to 18% effective April 1, 2020. The income
tax accounting effect, including any retroactive effect, of a tax law change is accounted for in the period of enactment, which in
this case was the fourth quarter of 2015. As a result, the effective tax rate was impacted by an increased tax expense of
approximately $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 due to the resultant impact on the net deferred tax asset
balances. Additionally, the effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2015 was impacted by unfavorable geographic
income mix in 2015 as compared to 2014, primarily due to changes in the underlying operations of the business, offset by tax
planning initiatives and the resulting favorable impact on foreign tax credits.
107
The effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2014 was impacted by favorable geographic income mix in 2014 as
compared to 2013, primarily due to changes in the underlying operations of the business as well as tax planning initiatives, and
the resulting favorable impact on foreign tax credits. These favorable impacts were offset by net increases resulting from
changes in judgment related to deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $18 million in 2014.
Deferred Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method. Deferred income tax assets
and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the bases of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws. Significant components of the deferred tax assets
and liabilities are as follows:
Deferred tax assets:
Pension............................................................................................................................................ $
Employee benefits ..........................................................................................................................
Net operating loss carryforwards....................................................................................................

The net deferred tax assets of $125 million as of December 31, 2016 are primarily comprised of deferred tax asset
amounts in the U.K., U.S. and China, offset by deferred tax liability amounts in Japan and Singapore.
Net Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards
As of December 31, 2016, the Company has gross deferred tax assets of approximately $1,415 million for non-U.S. net
operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards with recorded valuation allowances of $1,255 million. These NOL’s are available to
offset future taxable income and realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss
carryforwards. The NOL’s primarily relate to France, Luxembourg, Germany and Spain. The NOL carryforwards have
expiration dates ranging from one year to an indefinite period. The NOL carryforwards available for use on tax returns are
$1,415 million as of December 31, 2016.
108
Deferred tax assets include $101 million and $53 million of tax credit carryforwards with recorded valuation allowances
of $37 million and $31 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These tax credit carryforwards expire in 2017
through 2025.
Cumulative Undistributed Foreign Earnings
No income taxes have been provided on indefinitely reinvested earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries aggregating $293
million at December 31, 2016. The amount of the unrecognized deferred income tax liability with respect to such earnings is
$107 million.
Withholding taxes of $66 million have been accrued on undistributed earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested and are
primarily related to China, South Korea, Honduras, and Morocco. There are no other material liabilities for income taxes on the
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, as the Company has concluded that such earnings are either indefinitely
reinvested or should not give rise to additional income tax liabilities as a result of the distribution of such earnings.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company recognizes tax benefits only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon
examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50
percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the Company's
tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.
A reconciliation of the gross change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance, excluding interest and penalties is as
follows:

A portion of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, reduce its effective tax rate. The remaining
unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax positions for which only the timing of the benefit is uncertain. Recognition of these tax
benefits would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate only through a reduction of accrued interest and penalties. As of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefit that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate
were $129 million and $35 million, respectively. In addition, $77 million and $15 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively,
would be offset by the write-off of a related deferred tax asset, if recognized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense. Total
accrued liabilities for interest and penalties were $18 million and $11 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Total interest and penalties recognized as part of income tax expense was a $7 million expense, a $1 million benefit and a $3
million benefit for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The Company files tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the
world. Taxing jurisdictions significant to Delphi include China, Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico, Poland, the U.S. and the
U.K. Open tax years related to these taxing jurisdictions remain subject to examination and could result in additional tax
liabilities. In general, the Company's affiliates are no longer subject to income tax examinations by foreign tax authorities for
years before 2001. It is reasonably possible that audit settlements, the conclusion of current examinations or the expiration of
the statute of limitations in several jurisdictions could impact the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits.

Tax Return Filing Determinations and Elections
Delphi Automotive LLP, which acquired certain assets in a bankruptcy court approved transaction (the "Bankruptcy
Plan") on October 6, 2009 (the "Acquisition Date"), was established on August 19, 2009 as a limited liability partnership
incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. At the time of its formation, Delphi Automotive LLP elected to be treated as
a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On June 24, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued us a
Notice of Proposed Adjustment (the "NOPA") asserting that it believes Section 7874(b) of the Internal Revenue Code applied
to Delphi Automotive LLP and that it should be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
retroactive to the Acquisition Date. If Delphi Automotive LLP was treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, the Company also expected that, although Delphi Automotive PLC is incorporated under the laws of Jersey and a
tax resident in the U.K., it would also have been treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If these
entities were treated as domestic corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company would have been subject to
U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide taxable income, including distributions, as well as deemed income inclusions from
some of its non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Delphi contested the conclusions reached in the NOPA through the IRS’s administrative appeals process, and on April 8,
2016, the IRS Office of Appeals issued fully-executed Forms 870-AD, concluding that Section 7874(b) does not apply to
Delphi, and therefore no adjustments for the tax years subject to the appeals process (2009 and 2010) are necessary. Consistent
with the IRS’s determination and conclusion related to this matter, Delphi Automotive PLC will continue to prepare and file its
financial statements and tax filings as a UK tax-resident.
15. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Delphi by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the weighted average dilutive impact of all
potentially dilutive securities from the date of issuance and is computed using the treasury stock method by dividing net income
attributable to Delphi by the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. For all periods presented, the
calculation of net income per share contemplates the dilutive impacts, if any, of the Company’s share-based compensation
plans. Refer to Note 21. Share-Based Compensation for additional information.

Share Repurchase Program
In April 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion of ordinary shares,
which commenced in September 2016 following the completion of the Company's $1.5 billion January 2015 share repurchase
program. This share repurchase program provides for share purchases in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, depending on share price, market conditions and other factors, as determined by the Company.
A summary of the ordinary shares repurchased during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2016, approximately $1,372 million of share repurchases remained available under the April 2016
share repurchase program. During the period from January 1, 2017 to February 2, 2017, the Company repurchased an
additional $23 million worth of shares pursuant to a trading plan with set trading instructions established by the Company. As a
result, approximately $1,349 million of share repurchases remain available under the April 2016 share repurchase program. All
repurchased shares were retired, and are reflected as a reduction of ordinary share capital for the par value of the shares, with
the excess applied as reductions to additional paid-in-capital and retained earnings.

Other
Prior to the completion of the initial public offering on November 22, 2011, net income and other changes to membership
interests were allocated to the respective outstanding classes based on the cumulative distribution provisions of the Fourth LLP
Agreement.
Under the terms of the Fourth LLP Agreement, if cumulative distributions to the members of Delphi Automotive LLP
under certain provisions of the Fourth LLP Agreement exceed $7.2 billion, Delphi, as disbursing agent on behalf of DPHH, is
required to pay to the holders of allowed general unsecured claims against DPHH, $32.50 for every $67.50 in excess of $7.2
billion distributed to the members, up to a maximum amount of $300 million. This contingency is considered probable of
occurring as of December 31, 2016, and accordingly a reserve of $300 million has been recorded. Refer to Note 13.
Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

17. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Cash Flow Hedges
Delphi is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and changes
in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, Delphi aggregates the
exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. For exposures that are not offset within its operations,
Delphi enters into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing
derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, and designation of derivative instruments is performed on a
transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in
114
whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Delphi assesses the
initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had the following outstanding notional amounts related to commodity and
foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were entered into to hedge forecasted exposures:

The Company had additional commodity and foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with
notional amounts that individually amounted to less than $10 million. As of December 31, 2016, Delphi has entered into
derivative instruments to hedge cash flows extending out to December 2018.
Gains and losses on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI"), to
the extent that hedges are effective, until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. Unrealized amounts in
accumulated OCI will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of hedge derivative contracts at each reporting period.
Losses on cash flow hedges included in accumulated OCI as of December 31, 2016 were $51 million ($29 million, net of tax).
Of this total, approximately $43 million of losses are expected to be included in cost of sales within the next 12 months and $8
million of losses are expected to be included in cost of sales in subsequent periods. Cash flow hedges are discontinued when
Delphi determines it is no longer probable that the originally forecasted transactions will occur. The amount included in cost of
sales related to hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cash flows from derivatives used to manage commodity and foreign exchange risks are classified as operating activities within
the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2014, Delphi entered into and settled treasury rate lock agreements
which were designated as cash flow hedges in anticipation of issuing the 2014 Senior Notes, as further discussed in Note 11.
Debt. The impacts of these agreements and the related amount of hedge ineffectiveness were not material.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company is also exposed to the risk that adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact its net
investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. To manage this risk, the Company designates certain qualifying derivative and non-
derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency-denominated debt, as net investment
hedges of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The effective portion of the gains or losses on instruments designated as net investment
hedges are recognized within OCI to offset changes in the value of the net investment in these foreign currency-denominated
operations. Any ineffective portion of gains or losses on net investment hedges are reclassified to other income (expense), net
within the consolidated statement of operations. Gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
are reclassified to earnings only when the related currency translation adjustments are required to be reclassified, usually upon
sale or liquidation of the investment. Cash flows from derivatives designated as net investment hedges are classified as
investing activities within the consolidated statement of cash flows.
During 2016, the Company entered into a series of forward contracts, each of which were designated as net investment
hedges of the foreign currency exposure of the Company's investments in certain Chinese Yuan Renminbi ("RMB")-
denominated subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company entered into a forward contract with a notional amount
of 2.4 billion RMB (approximately $370 million, using March 31, 2016 foreign currency rates), which matured in May 2016,
and the Company paid $1 million at settlement. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company entered into forward contracts
with notional amounts totaling 2.4 billion RMB (approximately $355 million, using June 30, 2016 foreign currency rates),
115
which matured in November 2016, and the Company received $15 million at settlement. In November 2016, the Company
entered into forward contracts with notional amounts totaling 2.4 billion RMB (approximately $340 million, using
December 31, 2016 foreign currency rates), which matured in December 2016, and the Company paid less than $1 million at
settlement. In December 2016, the Company entered into a forward contract with a notional amount of 1.8 billion RMB
(approximately $265 million, using December 31, 2016 foreign currency rates), which matures in June 2017. Refer to the tables
below for details of the fair value recorded in the consolidated balance sheet and the effects recorded in the consolidated
statement of operations and consolidated statement of comprehensive income related to these derivative instruments.
The Company has designated the €700 million 2015 Euro-denominated Senior Notes and the €500 million 2016 Euro-
denominated Senior Notes, as more fully described in Note 11. Debt, as net investment hedges of the foreign currency exposure
of its investments in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Due to changes in the value of the Euro-denominated debt
instruments designated as net investment hedges, during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, $65 million and $(5)
million, respectively, of gains (losses) were recognized within the cumulative translation adjustment component of OCI.
Cumulative gains (losses) included in accumulated OCI on these net investment hedges were $60 million as of December 31,
2016 and $(5) million as of December 31, 2015. There were no amounts reclassified or recognized for ineffectiveness in the
years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
The Company enters into certain foreign currency and commodity contracts that are not designated as hedges. When
hedge accounting is not applied to derivative contracts, gains and losses are recorded to other income (expense), net and cost of
sales in the consolidated statement of operations.
As more fully disclosed in Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures, on July 30, 2015, Delphi made a recommended offer
to acquire HellermannTyton. In conjunction with the acquisition, in August 2015, the Company entered into option contracts
with notional amounts totaling £917 million to hedge portions of the currency risk associated with the cash payment for the
acquisition at a cost of $15 million. Subsequently, in conjunction with the closing of the acquisition, Delphi entered into
offsetting option contracts. Pursuant to the requirements of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the options did not qualify as
hedges for accounting purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the change in fair value resulted in a pre-tax loss
of $15 million included within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company paid $15
million to settle these options during the year ended December 31, 2016, which is reflected within investing activities in the
consolidated statement of cash flows.

The gain or loss reclassified from OCI into income for the effective portion of designated derivative instruments and the
gain or loss recognized in income for the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments excluded from effectiveness
testing were recorded to other income, net and cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations for the years
ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. The gain or loss recognized in income for non-designated derivative instruments
was recorded in other income (expense), net and cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit
price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation
techniques:
Market—This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or
comparable assets or liabilities.
Income—This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on
current market expectations.
Cost—This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset
(replacement cost).
Delphi uses the following fair value hierarchy prescribed by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair
value as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices
in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities.
Typically, assets and liabilities are considered to be fair valued on a recurring basis if fair value is measured regularly.
However, if the fair value measurement of an instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the
consolidated balance sheet, assets and liabilities are considered to be fair valued on a nonrecurring basis. This generally occurs
when accounting guidance requires assets and liabilities to be recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, or assessed for
impairment.
119
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
Derivative instruments—All derivative instruments are required to be reported on the balance sheet at fair value unless
the transactions qualify and are designated as normal purchases or sales. Changes in fair value are reported currently through
earnings unless they meet hedge accounting criteria. Delphi’s derivative exposures are with counterparties with long-term
investment grade credit ratings. Delphi estimates the fair value of its derivative contracts using an income approach based on
valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single, discounted amount. Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency
and commodity derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. Delphi also considers the risk of
non-performance in the estimation of fair value, and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair
value of derivative instruments. The non-performance risk adjustment reflects the credit default spread (“CDS”) applied to the
net commodity by counterparty and foreign currency exposures by counterparty. When Delphi is in a net derivative asset
position, the counterparty CDS rates are applied to the net derivative asset position. When Delphi is in a net derivative liability
position, estimates of peer companies’ CDS rates are applied to the net derivative liability position.
In certain instances where market data is not available, Delphi uses management judgment to develop assumptions that
are used to determine fair value. This could include situations of market illiquidity for a particular currency or commodity or
where observable market data may be limited. In those situations, Delphi generally surveys investment banks and/or brokers
and utilizes the surveyed prices and rates in estimating fair value.
As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Delphi was in a net derivative liability position of $37 million and
$129 million, respectively, and no significant adjustments were recorded for nonperformance risk based on the application of
peer companies’ CDS rates, evaluation of our own nonperformance risk and because Delphi’s exposures were to counterparties
with investment grade credit ratings. Refer to Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further information regarding
derivatives.
Contingent consideration—As described in Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures, as of December 31, 2016, additional
contingent consideration may be earned as a result of Delphi's acquisition agreements for Control-Tec LLC ("Control-Tec"),
Ottomatika, Inc. ("Ottomatika") and Antaya Technologies Corporation ("Antaya"). The liability for contingent consideration is
re-measured to fair value at each reporting date based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis using a rate that
reflects the uncertainty surrounding the expected outcomes, which the Company believes is appropriate and representative of
market participant assumptions. The measurement of the liability for contingent consideration is based on significant inputs that
are not observable in the market, and is therefore classified as a Level 3 measurement in accordance with ASU Topic
820-10-35. Examples of utilized unobservable inputs are estimated future earnings of the acquired businesses and applicable
discount rates. The estimate of the liability may fluctuate if there are changes in the forecast of the acquired businesses' future
earnings, as a result of actual earnings levels achieved or in the discount rates used to determine the present value of contingent
future cash flows. As of December 31, 2016, the range of periods in which the earn-out provisions may be achieved is from
2017 through 2018. The Company regularly reviews these assumptions, and makes adjustments to the fair value measurements
as required by facts and circumstances.
As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the liability for contingent consideration was $35 million (of which
$22 million was classified within other current liabilities and $13 million was classified within other long-term liabilities) and
$32 million (of which $2 million was classified within other current liabilities and $30 million which was classified within
other long-term liabilities). Adjustments to this liability for interest accretion are recognized in interest expense, and any other
changes in the fair value of this liability are recognized within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of
operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded an increase of $10 million to the contingent
consideration liability for the acquisition of Control-Tec based on the actual level of earnings achieved, as well as increased
forecasted future earnings of the acquired business during the contractual earn-out period. Pursuant to the terms of the Control-
Tec acquisition agreement, Delphi will pay $20 million of this contingent consideration liability in 2017. During the years
ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company recorded reductions to the contingent consideration liability
for the acquisition of Antaya of $7 million and $7 million, respectively, based on the actual level of earnings and reductions to
the forecasted future earnings of the acquired business during the contractual earn-out period. Additions to the liability during
the year ended December 31, 2015 were due the acquisitions of Control-Tec and Ottomatika, as described above and in Note
20. Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Non-derivative financial instruments—Delphi’s non-derivative financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents,
accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, as well as debt, which consists of its accounts receivable factoring
arrangements, capital leases and other debt issued by Delphi’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, the Revolving Credit Facility, the Tranche
A Term Loan and all series of outstanding senior notes. The fair value of debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments
with public market data or significant other observable inputs for instruments without a quoted public market price (Level 2).
As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, total debt was recorded at $3,971 million and $4,008 million, respectively,
and had estimated fair values of $4,007 million and $4,025 million, respectively. For all other financial instruments recorded at
December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, fair value approximates book value.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, Delphi also has items in its balance sheet that are
measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these items are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not
included in the tables above. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include
long-lived assets, assets held for sale, equity and cost method investments, intangible assets, asset retirement obligations, share-
based compensation and liabilities for exit or disposal activities measured at fair value upon initial recognition. During the year
ended December 31, 2016, Delphi recorded non-cash asset impairment charges of $30 million within cost of sales related to
declines in the fair values of certain fixed assets, $25 million of which related to the closure of a European manufacturing site
within the Powertrain Systems segment in 2016, as further described in Note 10. Restructuring. During the year ended
December 31, 2015, Delphi recorded non-cash asset impairment charges of $16 million in cost of sales related to declines in the
fair values of certain fixed assets. During the year ended December 31, 2014, Delphi recorded non-cash asset impairment
charges of $5 million in cost of sales and $2 million in selling, general and administrative expense related to declines in the fair
values of certain fixed assets and for capitalized software no longer being utilized. Fair value of long-lived assets is determined
primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved and a review of appraisals.
As such, Delphi has determined that the fair value measurements of long-lived assets fall in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Additionally, as further described in Note 25. Discontinued Operations, an after-tax impairment loss of approximately
$88 million was recorded in income from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2015 based on the evaluation and
estimate of the fair value of the Company's interest in KDAC of approximately $32 million, which was determined primarily
based on negotiations with a third party and on a non-binding offer from that potential buyer at the time, in relation to the
carrying value of this interest. Subsequently, in September 2015 the Company closed the sale of this interest for net cash
proceeds of $70 million. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a net loss of $41 million on
the KDAC divestiture within income from discontinued operations, which includes the $88 million impairment loss recorded in
the first quarter of 2015.

As further discussed in Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies, during the year ended December 31, 2016, Delphi
recorded a reserve of $300 million for the Unsecured Creditors litigation. As further discussed in Note 11. Debt, during the year
ended December 31, 2016, Delphi redeemed for cash the entire $800 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the
2013 Senior Notes, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $70 million. Delphi also recorded a loss on debt
extinguishment of $3 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 in conjunction with the 2016 amendment to the Credit
Agreement, as further discussed in Note 11. Debt. Additionally, as further discussed in Note 25. Discontinued Operations,
122
during the year ended December 31, 2016, Delphi recorded $8 million for certain fees earned pursuant to the transition services
agreement in connection with the sale of the Company's wholly owned Thermal Systems business.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, as further discussed in Note 11. Debt, Delphi redeemed for cash the entire
aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 6.125% Senior Notes and, as further discussed in Note 20. Acquisitions and
Divestitures, canceled the Senior Bridge Credit Agreement, resulting in losses on extinguishment of debt of approximately $52
million and $6 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2015, Delphi incurred approximately $23 million in
transaction costs related to the acquisition of HellermannTyton and, as further discussed in Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging
Activities, recorded a loss of $15 million on option contracts entered into in order to hedge portions of the currency risk
associated with the acquisition of HellermannTyton, which are reflected within costs associated with acquisitions in the above
table. Also during the year ended December 31, 2015, Delphi recorded $8 million for certain fees earned pursuant to the
transition services agreement in connection with the sale of the Company's wholly owned Thermal Systems business.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, Delphi redeemed for cash the entire aggregate principal amount outstanding
of the 5.875% Senior Notes and repaid a portion of its indebtedness on the Tranche A Term Loan, resulting in a loss on
extinguishment of debt of approximately $34 million. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2014, Delphi incurred
approximately $6 million in transaction costs related to its 2014 acquisitions, which are further discussed in Note 20.
Acquisitions and Divestitures. Delphi also reached a final settlement with its insurance carrier related to a business interruption
insurance claim, and received proceeds from this settlement of approximately $14 million, net of related costs and expenses.
20. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisition of PureDepth, Inc.
On March 23, 2016, Delphi acquired 100% of the equity interests of PureDepth, Inc. ("PureDepth"), a leading provider of
3D display technology, for approximately $15 million. The results of operations of PureDepth are reported within the
Electronics and Safety segment from the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with
the total purchase price allocated on a preliminary basis using information available, in the first quarter of 2016. The
preliminary purchase price and related allocation to the acquired net assets of PureDepth based on their estimated fair values is
shown below (in millions):
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Purchase price, cash consideration......................................................................................................................... $
Intangible assets ..................................................................................................................................................... $
Goodwill resulting from purchase..........................................................................................................................
Total purchase price allocation.......................................................................................................................... $

Intangible assets include amounts recognized for the fair value of in-process research and development, which will not be
amortized, but tested for impairment until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts.
The fair value of these assets was based on third-party valuations and management's estimates, generally utilizing income and
market approaches.
The purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the
purchase price, additional information obtained regarding revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including, but not

Acquisition of HellermannTyton Group PLC
On December 18, 2015, pursuant to the terms of a recommended offer made on July 30, 2015, Delphi completed the
acquisition of 100% of the issued ordinary share capital of HellermannTyton Group PLC ("HellermannTyton"), a public limited
company based in the United Kingdom, and a leading global manufacturer of high-performance and innovative cable
management solutions. Delphi paid 480 pence per HellermannTyton share, totaling approximately $1.5 billion in aggregate, net
of cash acquired. Approximately $242 million of HellermannTyton outstanding debt to third-party creditors was assumed and
subsequently paid off.
123
HellermannTyton had 2014 sales of approximately €600 million (approximately 6% of which were to Delphi and will be
eliminated on a consolidated basis). Upon completing the acquisition, Delphi incurred transaction related expenses totaling
approximately $23 million, which were recorded within other income (expense), net in the statement of operations in the fourth
quarter of 2015.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the total purchase price allocated on a preliminary
basis using information available, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The purchase price and related allocation were finalized in the
fourth quarter of 2016. As a result of additional information obtained, changes to the preliminary fair values of certain property,
plant and equipment and other assets purchased and liabilities assumed, including contingent tax liabilities, from the amounts
disclosed as of December 31, 2015 were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2016, which resulted in a net adjustment
to goodwill of $10 million. These adjustments did not result in significant effects to the consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2016. The purchase price and related allocation to the acquired net assets of HellermannTyton
based on their estimated fair values is shown below (in millions):

Goodwill recognized in this transaction is primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and
the assembled workforce of HellermannTyton, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets primarily include $128
million recognized for the fair value of the acquired trade name, which has an indefinite useful life, $451 million of customer-
based assets with approximate useful lives of 13 years and $103 million of technology-related assets with approximate useful
lives of 13 years. The valuation of the intangible assets acquired was based on third-party valuations, management's estimates,
available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. The fair value of the acquired trade name and the
technology-related assets was generally estimated utilizing the relief from royalty method under the income approach, and the
fair value of customer-based assets was generally estimated utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method.
The results of operations of HellermannTyton are reported within the Electrical/Electronic Architecture segment from the
date of acquisition. The pro forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact the Company's reported results for
any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial statements were presented.

Delphi financed the cash payment required to close the acquisition of HellermannTyton primarily with the net proceeds
received from the offering of $1.3 billion of 2015 Senior Notes, as further described in Note 11. Debt, with the remainder of the
purchase price funded with cash on hand that was received from the sale of the Company's Thermal Systems business, as
further described below. Prior to the transaction closing, in connection with the offer to acquire HellermannTyton in July 2015,
£540 million ($844 million using July 30, 2015 foreign currency rates) was placed on deposit for purposes of satisfying a
portion of the consideration required to effect the acquisition.

Senior Bridge Credit Agreement was automatically terminated on November 19, 2015 in connection with the issuance of the
2015 Senior Notes, and unamortized issuance costs of $6 million associated with the Senior Bridge Credit Agreement were
written-off to other income (expense), net. The Company did not draw on the Senior Bridge Credit Agreement.

22. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation
Notes Issued by the Subsidiary Issuer
As described in Note 11. Debt, Delphi Corporation (the "Subsidiary Issuer/Guarantor"), a 100% owned subsidiary of
Delphi Automotive PLC (the "Parent"), issued the 2011 Senior Notes, the 2013 Senior Notes and the 2014 Senior Notes, each
of which were registered under the Securities Act, and is the borrower of obligations under the Credit Agreement. The 2011
Senior Notes were subsequently redeemed and extinguished in March 2014 and March 2015, and the 2013 Senior Notes were
subsequently redeemed and extinguished in September 2016. The 2014 Senior Notes and obligations under the Credit
Agreement are, and prior to their redemption, the 2011 Senior Notes and 2013 Senior Notes were, fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by Delphi Automotive PLC and certain of Delphi Automotive PLC's direct and indirect subsidiary companies,
which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Delphi Automotive PLC (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), on a joint and several
basis, subject to customary release provisions (other than in the case of Delphi Automotive PLC). All other consolidated direct
and indirect subsidiaries of Delphi Automotive PLC are not subject to the guarantees (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).
Notes Issued by the Parent
As described in Note 11. Debt, Delphi Automotive PLC issued the 2015 Senior Notes, the 2015 Euro-denominated Senior
Notes, the 2016 Euro-denominated Senior Notes and the 2016 Senior Notes, each of which were registered under the Securities
Act. Each series of these senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis, subject to
customary release provisions, by certain of Delphi Automotive PLC's direct and indirect subsidiary companies (the “Subsidiary
Guarantors”), and Delphi Corporation, each of which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Delphi Automotive PLC. All
other consolidated direct and indirect subsidiaries of Delphi Automotive PLC are not subject to the guarantees (“Non-
Guarantor Subsidiaries”).
In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Guarantors, the Company has included the
accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements. These condensed consolidating financial statements are presented
on the equity method. Under this method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the parent’s share
of the subsidiary’s cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions and other equity changes. The Non-
Guarantor Subsidiaries are combined in the condensed consolidating financial statements. The principal elimination entries are
to eliminate the investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.
The historical presentation of the supplemental guarantor condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 31,
2015 has been revised to be consistent with the presentation of the entities that comprise the structure of the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the Subsidiary Issuer/Guarantor as of December 31, 2016.

23. SEGMENT REPORTING
Delphi operates its core business along the following operating segments, which are grouped on the basis of similar
product, market and operating factors:
• Electrical/Electronic Architecture, which includes complete electrical architecture and component products.
•
Powertrain Systems, which includes extensive systems integration expertise in gasoline, diesel and fuel handling and
full end-to-end systems including fuel and air injection, combustion, electronics controls, exhaust handling, test and
validation capabilities, electric and hybrid electric vehicle power electronics, aftermarket, and original equipment
service.
• Electronics and Safety, which includes component and systems integration expertise in infotainment and
connectivity, body controls and security systems, displays and passive and active safety electronics, as well as
advanced development of software.
• Eliminations and Other, which includes i) the elimination of inter-segment transactions, and ii) certain other expenses
and income of a non-operating or strategic nature.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies,
except that the disaggregated financial results for the segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is
consistent with the basis and manner in which management internally disaggregates financial information for which Delphi’s
chief operating decision maker regularly reviews financial results to assess performance of, and make internal operating
decisions about allocating resources to, the segments.
Generally, Delphi evaluates segment performance based on stand-alone segment net income before interest expense,
other income (expense), net, income tax expense, equity income (loss), net of tax, income (loss) from discontinued operations,
net of tax, restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired
businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and
divestitures), asset impairments and gains (losses) on business divestitures (“Adjusted Operating Income”) and accounts for
inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, at current market prices. Delphi’s management
utilizes Adjusted Operating Income as the key performance measure of segment income or loss to evaluate segment
performance, and for planning and forecasting purposes to allocate resources to the segments, as management believes this
measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of Delphi's operating segments. Segment Adjusted Operating
Income should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered
an alternative to net income attributable to Delphi, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted
Operating Income that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Segment Adjusted Operating Income, as determined and
measured by Delphi, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
As described in Note 25. Discontinued Operations, the Company's previously reported Thermal Systems segment has
been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Discontinued operations also includes the Company's
thermal original equipment service business, the results of which were previously reported within the Powertrain Systems
segment. Certain operations, primarily related to contract manufacturing services, which were previously included within the
Thermal Systems reporting segment but which were not included in the scope of the divestiture, are reported in continuing
operations within the Electronics and Safety segment for all periods presented. No amounts for shared general and
administrative operating expense or interest expense were allocated to discontinued operations.
Effective July 1, 2016, Delphi reorganized its management reporting structure by moving its Power Electronics product
line, which was historically included in the Electronics and Safety segment, to the Powertrain Systems segment. This
reorganization was made to better align the product offerings of the Power Electronics product line with the Company's
approach to managing the markets and customers served by this product line. Consistent with this change in the Company's
management reporting structure and basis of financial information used by the chief operating decision maker, the prior period
results of the Power Electronics product line have been reclassified from the Electronics and Safety segment to the Powertrain
Systems segment for all periods presented. The reclassification had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Included below are sales and operating data for Delphi’s segments for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and
2014, as well as balance sheet data as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

NOTE 25. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company determined that its previously reported Thermal Systems segment met the
criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as a result of entering into a definitive agreement for the sale of substantially
all of the assets and liabilities of the Company's wholly owned Thermal Systems business and a commitment to a plan to
dispose of the Company's interests in two joint ventures which were previously reported within the Thermal Systems segment.
On June 30, 2015 the Company closed the sale of its wholly owned Thermal Systems business to MAHLE GmbH
("MAHLE"). The Company received cash proceeds of approximately $670 million and recognized a gain on the divestiture
within income from discontinued operations of $271 million (approximately $0.95 per diluted share), net of tax expense of $52
million, transaction costs of $10 million and $18 million of pre-tax post-closing adjustments recorded during the year ended
December 31, 2015 primarily related to settlement of working capital items and contingent liabilities. Additional post-closing
adjustments of $3 million, primarily related to the settlement of contingent liabilities, were recorded as a reduction to the gain
on the divestiture during the year ended December 31, 2016. All post-closing adjustments were finalized and cash settled with
MAHLE in the fourth quarter of 2016. In conjunction with the sale, Delphi and MAHLE also entered into a transition services
agreement under which Delphi provided certain administrative and other services, as well as a supply agreement under which
Delphi supplied certain products, primarily for a period of up to eighteen months following the closing of the transaction.
Delphi recorded $8 million and $8 million to other income (expense), net for the years ended December 31, 2016 and
December 31, 2015, respectively, for certain fees earned pursuant to the transition services agreement.
On September 24, 2015 the Company closed the sale of its 50 percent interest in its Korea Delphi Automotive Systems
Corporation ("KDAC") joint venture, which was accounted for under the equity method and was principally reported as part of
the Thermal Systems segment, to the joint venture partner. The Company received cash proceeds of $70 million and recognized
a gain on the divestiture of $47 million, net of tax expense, within income from discontinued operations during the three
months ended September 30, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a net loss of $41
million (approximately $0.14 per diluted share) on the KDAC divestiture within income from discontinued operations, which
includes the $88 million impairment loss recorded in the first quarter of 2015, as further described below.
On March 31, 2016, the Company closed the sale of its 50 percent interest in its Shanghai Delphi Automotive Air
Conditioning ("SDAAC") joint venture to one of the Company's joint venture partners, Shanghai Aerospace Automobile
Electromechanical Co., Ltd ("SAAE"). The Company received cash proceeds of $62 million, net of tax, transaction costs and
$29 million of cash divested, and recognized a gain on the divestiture of $104 million (approximately $0.38 per diluted share),
net of tax expense of $10 million and transaction costs, within income from discontinued operations during the year ended
December 31, 2016. The financial results of SDAAC, which were consolidated by Delphi, were historically reported as part of
the Thermal Systems segment.
As the divestiture of the Thermal Systems segment, including the Company's interests in SDAAC and KDAC and the
thermal original equipment service business, represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's
operations and financial results, the assets and liabilities, operating results, and operating and investing cash flows for the
former Thermal Systems segment are presented as discontinued operations separate from the Company’s continuing operations
for all periods presented. Discontinued operations also includes the Company's thermal original equipment service business,
which was included in the sale of the wholly owned Thermal Systems business, the results of which were previously reported
within the Powertrain Systems segment. Certain operations, primarily related to contract manufacturing services, which were
previously included within the Thermal Systems reporting segment, were excluded from the scope of the divestiture, and are
reported in continuing operations within the Electronics and Safety segment for all periods presented. No amounts for shared
general and administrative operating expense or interest expense were allocated to discontinued operations. Delphi has not had
significant continuing involvement with the divested Thermal Systems business following the closing of the transactions.
146
In the first quarter of 2015, the Company determined that the assets and liabilities of the Thermal Systems segment met
the held for sale criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. Accordingly, the held for
sale Thermal Systems assets and liabilities were reclassified in the consolidated balance sheet to assets held for sale or
liabilities held for sale, respectively, as the sale of such assets and liabilities was expected within one year. The Company
ceased recording depreciation of the held for sale Thermal Systems assets in the first quarter of 2015. As described above,
Delphi completed the divestitures of the wholly owned Thermal Systems business on June 30, 2015, of its 50 percent interest in
KDAC on September 24, 2015 and of its 50 percent interest in SDAAC on March 31, 2016. As a result of the completion of the
divestitures, there are no assets or liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes the
carrying value of the major classes of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of December 31, 2015:

As of December 31, 2015, there was $109 million of Noncontrolling interest attributable to the Company's partner in the
SDAAC joint venture.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale were required to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value
less costs to sell. Accordingly, an after-tax impairment loss of $88 million (approximately $0.30 per diluted share) was recorded
in income from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2015 based on the evaluation of the estimated fair value of the
Company's interest in KDAC as of March 31, 2015 in relation to its carrying value. As of March 31, 2015, the fair value of this
interest was estimated to be approximately $32 million, determined primarily based on recent negotiations with a third party
and based on a non-binding offer from that potential buyer at the time. As described above, the Company subsequently
completed the sale of its interest in KDAC for net cash proceeds of $70 million during the third quarter of 2015.

controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016. As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”), disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures include components of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2016.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such
term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), for the Company. Under the supervision of the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).” Based on that
148

management's evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, that occurred during the year ended December 31,
2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
On February 1, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company, acting upon the recommendation of the Compensation &
Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), adopted the Delphi Automotive PLC Executive
Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) and the Delphi Automotive PLC Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the
“Change in Control Plan”) (together, the “Plans”). The Plans are effective as of February 1, 2017, and were adopted to provide
severance protections to certain executives who are designated by the Committee as eligible to participate in each Plan (each an
“Eligible Executive”).
The Severance Plan provides for severance benefits in the event of a Qualifying Separation (as defined in the Severance
Plan) of an Eligible Executive's employment. Pursuant to the Severance Plan, an Eligible Executive who incurs a Qualifying
Separation would be entitled to receive severance payments during the applicable severance period, unless and until the Eligible

months following a Qualifying Separation.
The Change in Control Plan provides for severance benefits in connection with a Qualifying Separation (as defined in the
Change in Control Plan), including a termination upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control Plan).
Pursuant to the Change in Control Plan, an Eligible Executive who incurs a Qualifying Separation would be entitled to receive a
lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the sum of (a) three times base salary in the case of the CEO and two times base
salary in the case of an Eligible Executive other than the CEO; and (b) in the case of the CEO, three times the higher of the
CEO’s target annual cash incentive award opportunity for the year in which the separation occurs or in effect immediately prior
to the Change in Control, or in the case of an Eligible Executive other than the CEO, two times the higher of the Eligible
Executive’s target annual cash incentive award opportunity for the year in which the separation occurs or in effect immediately
prior to the Change in Control. In addition, an Eligible Executive who incurs a Qualifying Separation is also entitled to receive
a lump sum payment representing the sum of 36 monthly COBRA premiums for the CEO and 24 monthly COBRA premiums
for Eligible Executives other than the CEO.
The above summary of the Plans is qualified by reference to the text of the Severance Plan that is filed herewith as
