The Suppliers’

The Industry at a Crossroads

The automotive industry has played a critical role in much of the world’s economy for more than a century. Yet some of the most significant shifts in vehicle design and production are happening right now. Automobiles are becoming the ultimate “mobile” device. As the automotive industry strives to make vehicles smarter, safer and more efficient, supplier innovation has taken center stage. Opportunities abound for both established and new entrants in the supplier industry around the globe.

Automotive innovation is also driving fierce competition, hefty investments and increased government pressure. With the added uncertainty of this year’s political climate, the industry is at the intersection of great opportunity and even higher risk. It is at this juncture that OESA launches the OESA 2016 Annual Conference – The Industry at a Crossroads.

I hope you will join us at the 18th Annual OESA Conference on November 2, 2016, at COBO Center as we explore the industry’s future at the crossroads.

The conference will feature industry thought leaders that will share key trends and actionable insight from the OEM, supplier executive and industry analyst perspective.

Confirmed presenters include:

Julie A. Fream

President and CEO

SUPPLIER BAROMETER

IMPROVED SUPPLIER OUTLOOK FUELED BY NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND GLOBAL MARKETS

The April 2016 OESA Automotive Supplier Barometer theme was centered around globalization and supply chain issues.

The Supplier Sentiment Index (SSI) remains in positive territory with an index result of 55, up two points from January. Business opportunities, improving global markets and strong automotive sales fuel the improved outlook. However, suppliers are seeing a leveling off in production volumes.

As was the case in 2015, absolute growth continues in all global regions with the exception of South America.

However, the rate of growth across all regions is slowing with the exception of Mexico, where a slight increase is shown. South America continues to contract this year at a higher rate than 2015. Overall, macro-economics and labor/talent availability are the predominant hurdles that suppliers face in meeting their 2020 growth targets.

The majority (75 percent) of products produced in North America still come from the United States. Mexico and Canada average 20 percent and five percent of manufacturing respectively.

When considering export/import

6 │ OESA News - 2016 Third Quarter

balance of U.S. produced parts, the median value of exported parts to other regions is 15 percent, with an upper quartile of 25 percent and a lower quartile of five percent. The primary receiving region of the exported product is Mexico, followed by Canada and Japan/Korea. Localization was the primary factor in export decisions. An estimated 20 percent of material costs for U.S. production is purchased outside of the United States; primarily coming from Japan/Korea and China. Increasing buys from Mexico were indicated and localization was a common theme in responses.

Supply chain constraints continue to be watched. The percent of respondents reporting that they do not have supply chain constraints improved from 41 percent in 2015 to 56 percent this year.

For suppliers still seeing possible supply constraints, they are concentrated in the critical areas of powertrain and electrical.

Chassis systems and component concerns improved.

As suppliers look at increasing sub-tier capacity or capabilities, the focus tends to be on identifying and growing global suppliers, tooling and die companies and suppliers in Mexico.

LEGAL CORNER

DOJ’S NEW FCPA GUIDANCE

AND PILOT PROGRAM RAISE THE STAKES FOR AUTO SUPPLIERS The automotive industry has been the subject of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) enforcement actions and now the stakes are even higher. On April 5, 2016, DOJ issued its “FCPA Enforcement Plan and Guidance” identifying three steps to enhance its enforcement strategy: (I) intensifying investigative and prosecutorial efforts by adding ten prosecutors to its FCPA unit; (II) strengthening and enhancing coordination with foreign law enforcement; and (III) implementation of a one year FCPA enforcement Pilot Program.

Under the Pilot Program companies can receive mitigation credit if they meet three factors: (1) voluntary disclosure; (2) full cooperation; and (3) remediation. Disgorgement of all profits from the FCPA violation is also required. Companies may obtain up to a 50 percent reduction off the bottom end of fine range and not avoid appointment of a monitor if the company has implemented an effective compliance program.

Furthermore, DOJ will consider a declination of prosecution.

Companies that do not self-report, but meet all the other criteria may obtain up to a 25 percent reduction off the fine range.

To satisfy these three factors, automotive suppliers must meet the following requirements:

1. VOLUNTARY SELF-DISCLOSURE Voluntary disclosure must be a truly voluntary disclosure and not one that is required.

The disclosure must occur: • Prior to an imminent threat of disclosure or government investigation • Within a reasonably prompt time after becoming aware of the offense • Include all relevant facts, including facts about the individuals involved in any FCPA violation

2. FULL COOPERATION

collected and disclosed • Timely updates of company’s internal investigation and de-confliction of an internal investigation with the government investigation • All relevant facts regarding potential criminal conduct by all third-party companies and individuals • Make current officers and employees available for interviews, including, overseas officers and employees and former officers and employees (subject to Fifth Amendment rights) • Disclosure of all relevant facts gathered during a company’s investigation including attribution of facts that does not violate attorney client privilege, rather than a general narrative of facts • Disclosure of overseas documents, unless prevented by foreign law • Facilitate, unless prohibited by law, the third party production of documents and witnesses in foreign jurisdictions • Translations of relevant documents

3. REMEDIATION The following items are required to receive remediation credit.

• Implementation of an Effective Compliance and Ethics Program: The criteria will include: ◦ Establishing a “culture of compliance” ◦ Having sufficient compliance resources ◦ Employing qualified and experienced compliance personnel ◦ Independence of the compliance function ◦ Performing an effective risk assessment and tailoring the compliance program to that assessment ◦ Ensuring that compliance personnel compensation is comparble to other employees ◦ Auditing of program to assure effectiveness ◦ Having compliance personnel reporting within the company

In addition to the requirements under the Principles of Federal Prosecution of Business Organizations, the following items are required to receive full mitigation credit:

• Discipline of Culpable Employees: Companies must not only discipline culpable employees, but implement a system that provides for disciplining others with oversight of the responsible individuals

• Timely disclosure of all facts relevant to the wrongdoing, including all facts related to officers, employees or agents • “Proactive cooperation” • All relevant documents are expected to be preserved

• Acceptance of Responsibility: Demonstrate recognition of the seriousness of the misconduct, acceptance of responsibility for it, and implement reforms to identify and reduce the risk of repetition of such misconduct
